They are selling you a fake dream….again. One of the consistent narratives in the manospherific community is that males become more valuable as they age….and therefore you can still win the game as an older man. I’ve heard some of the gurus say that even 60+ men in their “private cold approach group” are “killing […]
Truth is a dangerous thing. It can build but it can also kill. Once you have opened the gate to the reality of natty lifting, you can’t close it. You can’t just go to the gym and do low-bar squats while thinking that you will look like Rippetoe‘s crush Doug Young one day. You can’t […]
There are fundamental and incredibly obvious flaws with the theory behind self-improvement. In the big scheme of things, self-improvement is nothing but a treadmill for keeping people engaged. Here’s how the self-improvement money printer REALLY works: Step 1: Find your target audience. The target audience are people who aren’t happy and want more. Or in […]
One of my biggest dating mistakes (there are many) was talking to lukewarm women. It resulted in the most pain, wasted time, and a lot of frustration. And I wish, I’d become wiser earlier, but it is what it is. We have to live with the consequences of our actions as best as we can. […]
Regular readers are probably familiar with the concept of training cycles as I’ve written about it in articles and books. But for those who don’t know, I’ll summarize.

The Principle of Diminishing Returns (PDR) is fundamental and observed in many aspects of life. The basic version is as follows: Every action starts to bring fewer gains with each consecutive repetition.

You can’t build even a dog house without some “consistency”. But very often, the idea of consistency is used as a camouflage […]

The modern male self-improvement leaders have been pushing their recruits to wage war on sleep for a long time. A while ago Arnold told us that we need to “sleep faster” if we want success. Unsurprisingly, other manosphere influencers exercising the role of global leaders such as the Tate brothers agree. In a video, Tristan […]
Recently, I posted an article on Victor Pride /Nick Kelly/ from Bold&Determined.com analyzing his metamorphosis. The material spiked some interest and a couple of readers requested a similar post on RooshV – another pillar author of the manosphere who had a similar to Pride’s trajectory Today, I fulfill that request. I didn’t follow RooshV‘s prime […]
NattyOrNot has always exposed uncomfortable truths. Some like that; some hate it. It is what it is. —- Today, it’s time for another dose of harsh reality in the male universe. ——– Height + Frame > Muscle Mass Height and frame are much more powerful levers than large muscles when it comes to male physical […]
