    Lets talk about why so many men today have reduced themselves to simping for women (and men) and how that gets them terrible results out of life, and with women. We'll discuss the factors that creating weak "simping" behaviors in men, provide some tests to establish if you are a simp or not, and how to fix this unattractive behavior going forward so you can get what you want out of life, and with women. Q&A will be open to all after the monologue, so bring questions during the call in segment. What is simping? -a man that goes out of his way to bend the knee to women in hopes she will see his righteousness as attractive and want to be intimate with him. These men are grass fed lions Why men do it? - In short... It's easy, safe, and comfortable - a total lack of self respect. - they have no real purpose in life. - they think being a 'nice guy' will get them intimacy - It's taught by parenting (43% by single moms), school, media, government, etc. - softer, weaker men with an estrogen dominate endocrine system. See the book 'Estrogeneration' by Dr. Anthony Jay for reference. The simp test - Constantly trying to impress women - Showering women with complements & money - White knighting - Getting little to zero success with women - Texting back fast, and persistently Society doesn't teach men to put themselves first, and calls conventional masculinity 'toxic' Solution - be the prize - put yourself first - make money, grow muscles, learn how to fight, and learn game - realize beauty is common, top shelf men aren't - spend time around more top shelf men - stop listening to your mom, and other neutered men - stop following women you aren't intimate with - call it out

People tell men "do what's right" but they tell women, "do what's right for you girl." Men and women cheat for totally different reasons. Women athletes should be paid the same as male athletes. Women can't be promiscuous with impunity, while men can. There are consequences to women, that don't apply to men. Men are the disposable sex, while women are the protected sex. Women can't put off having babies for a career the way men can. Fathers are handled totally differently to mothers in family law By default we believe all women (IE #Metoo), and men are guilty until proven innocent, whereas, women aren't held to that standard.

    0105 - Ending Bitterness Towards Others

    A ton of men/women get bitter towards others when things do go their way in life, tonight's BTT will be about bitterness, and getting over it. Tune in live to call in during the Q&A session. Link will be provided with the show is live. The origin of bitterness is anger/hurt. Let anger/hurt fester long enough and it matures into bitterness It can be the catalyst to vengeful acts, prevent you from being present (power of now), and it also facilitates a victim mindset. You can't be bitter without having a victim mindset. The remedy to bitterness is forgiveness. The longer you hold onto your anger, the more you’ll sink into the destructive quagmire of hatred and resentment. Anger will always “mature” into bitterness. Thoughts to consider: Did the person who hurt you consciously intend to treat you maliciously? Did they really have a personal vendetta against you? If it was, is it retaliatory? Your offender was most likely solipsistic, and more concerned with their own agenda than hurting you. The solution is to look at the events in a new light. Quotes to consider: “It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness, and a mood of helplessness prevail.” (Lech Walesa) “I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it’s like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.” (Joyce Meyer) “Something my mum taught me years and years and years ago, is life’s just too short to carry around a great bucket-load of anger and resentment and bitterness and hatreds.” (Kevin Rudd)

    0103 - Woman Learns (Live) Men & Women Are Not The Same

    Play Episode Listen Later May 5, 2021 85:47


    This cast will discuss female nature, why men must understand it, and how women view men that comprehend female nature. Inspired by a female viewer, this is her email pasted below... Dear Richard, I am a 32-year-old woman, I read your book, and I appreciate everything you are doing to help men all over the world. I'd also like to better understand how you view women. It feels to me like you view them (us) as perpetually immature beings compared to men. You call women solipsistic and define solipsism as "can't see past her own nose." You say that the company of women without sex is not interesting to you because you have so little in common. You think you'd get better company from a dog. You think women don't care about a man's struggles and don't have the capacity for true loyalty. If all that is right, what's another word to describe this? This lack of character, integrity, empathy, capacity for personal autonomy or growth? I don't think you see women as psychopaths. So, I think "perpetually immature" might be a good term, with the female version of a (sort of) "maturation" as submission to a man. And what about men? You and Rollo have this video about these four dorky guys in a poly relationship, and you say that you can turn them into men in no time. But you don't think women can take ownership of their lives, other than submitting to men? Or only take ownership in as far as learning to service men better, but what about building character? Ultimately, I'm asking you whether you think women are capable of pursuing and achieving integrity over the course of their lives, the way men can? And if you don't think they can, what sense of meaning could they get from their lives? What sense of meaning would I get from mine, if everything I think you believe about women were true about me? And what would that even look like or feel like? I don't tend toward a victim mindset, unless perhaps I was in really tragic conditions. So, either I have a moral need to pursue integrity, which I do, or I am very immature, which I no longer am, or I am a psychopath, which I never was. Yes, I am just talking about me right now, but can't the world be full of women who feel and think and behave the same way? Do you understand the question I am asking you? I think you see men as having endless potential, moral and otherwise, but women as these sorts of caricatures of real people. They may claim to be moral, but with a shallow self-righteousness that's based on momentary emotions. That are just mindlessly living out their evolutionary programming, like talking, walking, bigger-breasted chimpanzees. Is that how you view them (us)? Love, Irene

    This podcast will deal with envy, as Robert Greene wrote about in the book "The Laws of Human Nature." Envy first THEN friendship follows. Friends are more likely to become envious of you Their key goal is to find your weakness & how to hurt you. They rationalize a false narrative about your success IE you got to where you were by luck or a silver spoon. Have a neutral third party to keep an eye over your shoulder AKA a 'sober second thinker' Kevin O'Leary People never admit their envy because that means they need to consider themselves inferior 4 MAJOR signs of envy are - micro expressions - IE dagger eyes (they only last a few seconds) - poisonous praise - Disparaging comments cushioned as praise IE when you successfully finish a project, they will comment about how much money you will make rather than praise your hard work. - backbiting - Envious people enjoy talking about the negative aspects of a persons character weather real or imagined. - seesawing - of positive & negative actions - IE they heap praise then harsh criticisms then warm up again repeating the cycle 5 main type of enviers 1. the leveler - they tear down anyone that has achieved something great, and try to bring them down to their mediocre level - they never see excellence in others unless they are dead. 2. The self entitled slacker - they feel like the world owes them attention/praise even though they lack the discipline to do the hard work 3. The status friend - they always measure people via social status - they envy those of a higher status & envy those who enjoy certain privileges' 4. The attacher - They don't have a calling in life so they attach themselves to people with a sense of purpose - they envy & ultimately attack the person they have attached to 5. The insecure master - they are an insecure person who holds a high position in society - but secretly doubts their worth therefore they envy more talented subordinates #Envy​ #Jealousy​ #RobertGreene​
