Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

Offering examples about how absurd the performative masculinity is while offering more examples of true masculinity, real masculinity.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

And there are tons and tons of real men doing really good shit out in the world, and we need that to be our focus.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

But if you spend 10 minutes on social media, you'll see the quote-unquote blueprint of masculinity.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

But it's the performative masculinity.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

It's the bullshit.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

It's the fancy watch.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

It's the rented sports car.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

It's all the supplements and the guy yelling at you to be a real man while not even remotely being a real man with no kids, no...

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

wife not living with integrity or value and telling you have to dominate every room and just performing and performing and performing like a WWE version of what a real man, a real genuine masculine man actually lives like.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

That's what you're going to see on social because that's what's attractive to the algorithms, the fancy wash, the cars, all this other bullshit.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

And so young men, again, are getting attracted to that and seeing, okay, that's what I need to be in order to be a real man.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

But that's, again, not true.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

Because that is performative bullshit.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

That's the secret that you need to understand.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

Because once we understand that's the performative bullshit, then we can filter that nonsense out and actually get to the real thing, which is going to actually teach us how to be a great man in the society that can leave this world better than he found it.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

And so that's what you need to understand.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

That performative bullshit masculinity, it's not about strength.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

What it is about is converting the loneliness of young men into anger.

Something For Everybody
The Alpha Male Lie: What It Actually Takes to Be a Real Man - #488

It's a grift designed to exploit the feelings of being lost and to keep you lost and to keep you angry.

In this loop, you keep buying the course and buying the course and buying the course and buying the course and never actually getting back.
