I'm 18 and not really sure what to do with my life. I dropped out of sixth form/ year 12 in April and I just floated around, worked in cold calling sales for 3 weeks, hated that. After that job in sales I did just plan on going back to another/new college, but a few months back I made the decision to try and make money online. Previously I was sceptical about this and actually found it cringe young guys thought they could make 10k a month online at 16/17. Yes people like say Iman Gadzhi have done it, but I suppose maybe I retained a sense of realism in that for 99.99% of guys this just won't happen/ there is always an outlier. For example what I notice, in say Kris, Hamza, Mike Thurston etc. is they are all older and have a back story. They almost put in ground and field work in the real world (not this online self improvement space) and became a man before they ever came online, or at least did both at the same time. They had a back story, they were relatable etc. and they didn't just show up out of nowhere driving a lambo at 16 saying they make 10 million dollars a month. Basically they followed a fairly natural development for a man and the male advantage. However after watching enough of hustle culture content and also speaking to other guys online who were adamant it was possible to become rich and said I just had a weak mindset, my beliefs shifted. I started to believe if you just worked hard enough it was possible Honestly feels like the worst decision of my life. All these people say work 12 hours a day and all this bullshit. All that happened to me was I started to speak to less and less people. All I would do is just sit inside all day, only ever leave to go to the gym or my part time job. All this time alone has made me really out of shape socially, I can barely speak to anyone and just feel really low and somewhat depressed. After months of living like this I feel it's taken it's toll. I can't go on like this, So I need to make a change. I guess I could continue with the online stuff while working part time to earn some money, and just speak to more people at the gym etc.

I'm 30 y/o now. Graduated from Masters and now working in Marketing for a corporate office. I'm currently single. Although I still have not achieve anything significant in my age nor having my life "sorted out" (wife, kids, house mortgage etc). But in my 30s I feel wayyyyy alive than being in my 20s. For the past decades I'm lost, confused and worried. Now I had a clear goal, I don't have any financial setbacks or huge responsibilities and I feel like I could pull off my Male Advantage by my 40s. I've always been that good obedient boy throughout my life. I listened to my parents, I listened to the teachers. They told me to focus only in my studies, by the time I scored Full A's, entered University and graduate. Girls will "queue up trying to date me" (yes, one of my auntie actually tell me that). After following all their rules, playing the game safe and tick all of the boxes. I realized that everything they've told me is a lie.. a big fat lie. Girls wouldn't wanna date you just because you got a University degree, the dickhead brat, who skipped school and smoked in the schools toilet? He's now a successful boss, married a beautiful women and have a great family while the "good boys" who play by the rules? They graduated, working a shit job with low pay, women does not find them attractive and now they're being ridiculed and mocked for being single and desperate. Not gonna lie, I'm still a "V" in my 30s, and what does the people who told me to "study first, date later" react now? They laughed at me. Telling me that I could perhaps "date older women" or even single mums! Some of my elders even tell me to lower my expectation and date ugly girls instead. "Beautiful women wants to climb the social ladder, you don't deserve those! Just get an ugly chick and settle down!" If it's not discovering self improvement, I would never be able to see things as what it is, I would probably still feeling bitter, resentful and hateful for the rest of my life. Luckily I found the Male Advantage by Kris. it don't have to be choosing between old and ugly women. Right now I rather worked hard for the coming 10 years, build the career, stay fit. By then when I'm the boss I get to choose the beautiful, young ones.
