I'm on a date.

I'm with my mates.

I'm at work.

If you present the same version of yourself in all of those, you're not going to succeed.

we're not asking for men to be chameleons, but we do need a level of flexibility.

And I think that what this content is doing, it's saying you must be hard all the time, cut yourself off from your emotional inner world.

And my entire career has been built on trying to actually get men to understand that the greatest strength comes from self-knowledge, comes from understanding who you are and where you're going.

Because right now, these men are blind to their own

world.

They're blind to the fact that they are being taken for a ride.

That's kind of the greatest contradiction here is that supposedly they've taken the red pill and they've opened up this great understanding of what's happening to them.

But in fact, what they've done is they've isolated themselves from the real depths of reality.

And so the hardness is very attractive because...

Softness is this territory that is extremely unknown.

It seems dangerous for many of them.

what we witness is really this

inability to actually comprehend their own emotional world.

They suppress much of their emotional baggage in many ways.

And this pushing down, this suppression over time, you know, across the board in the psychological literature, you know that the more you push something down, the more likely it is to reappear and calcify into something much more dangerous.

And so we see men, sadly...
