People on YouTube and bad advice...
Hey guys, just wanted to address this.
Over the past 5 years the "men's improvement space" has gotten worse and worse. And since I have been coaching 100's of guys during this time, I am seeing how this terrible advice has caused guys to fuck up.
Some of this advice has come from people I consider friends. I am not critical of them because I think they mean well. But if the advice isn't good, then I am not going to endorse it. And here in my own community (away from the public eye) I will be critical of bad advice when it is appropriate, even if I like some of the people who have said those things. I won't call people out, but I will tell you the truth about what is good and what isn't.
The reason some of the ideas are so bad out there are as follows:
  1. It is general advice. So something that might be generally true could be untrue in your situation. This is the biggest reason guys mess up. You have to be able to understand the nuance.
  2. Likes, views, and subscribers don't reward good advice. It rewards what algorithms promote, and what is popular and what is entertaining. This causes youtubers to dispense advice based on the rewards of views and likes rather then based on what works.
  3. People in general have shitty mindsets and bad relationships. People also like to hear things that confirm their existing ideas rather then things that will challenge them or get them results. So the bad advice and ideas end up winning over shit that works.
  4. There are small few of these guys who are great with women, but most of these guys on the internet are not very good with women at all. I've hung out with and met many of these people, so trust me on this.They got into the space because they weren't good at it, then learned about shit academically rather then through practical application. They may have gotten some limited results, but generally aren't applying what they talk about. So now they are on the internet talking about shit academically to other guys who are learning about relationships academically. But none of them are going out and having real relationships and experiences with women. Same can be said about other areas outside of relationships.
  5. Having access to women because some guys create a business and a lifestyle that puts them in places where there are hot women (like podcasters or party promoters) doesn't mean that they are good with women or have any business giving anyone advice. Many of these guys are off putting, pay for pussy or offer favors for pussy, and couldn't game their way out of anything.
  6. People with youtube channels tend to just copy each others shit. So when bad advice gets attention, it tends to travel fast and get repeated. And no one seems to want to point out how stupid some of this shit sounds lol.
  7. Sometimes guys with good advice end up giving advice that is outdated because they are out of the game. They don't coach guys who are in the game regularly, and they are now in relationships so they don't talk to women anymore. They can't tell you how a 22 year girl acts in 2024 because they last time they talked to a 22 year old was in 2004. Now it is fine if they are not in the game, that isn't the problem. But they don't talk to guys or coach guys who are, so they are just disconnected and some of the advice falls short.
I will never just talk shit about other guys on the internet giving advice, or build my brand on that sort of thing. Just know that a lot of what you have heard might suck, and might give you bad results. I might make fun of some of that stuff, especially here, because I want you guys to do better then where some of the bad advice might take you.
