Men evolved to compete for territory. Education for the men who still do: biology, technology, family, faith and culture.

Men are lacking a third place.
The guilds, lodges, union halls and pubs where a man found men like him emptied inside one lifetime. Why the right men rarely meet by chance now, and what a third place needs to hold them together.

Men are meant to be out working together, while their wives take care of the home territory. Now men would rather sit around gossiping about sportsball over nachos and beer.

God has a unique interest in humility. Psalm 51: the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit and a contrite heart.

Get married, have kids, and watch your testosterone crater.
A man who never leaves home territory struggles to keep it high. The first fix is a space at home that is only his.

Jesus chose fishermen because their profession demanded complete humility. Weather, empty nets and the team they depended on stripped a man's pride before Jesus ever called him.

Big mistake I made when I first started raising kids.
When a wife attacks her husband's authority in front of the kids, they learn no hierarchy rules the house.

Modern churches produce weak men.
Psalm 51, the fishermen Jesus chose, and the 1800s movement that answered soft churches with physical standards.

You are the culmination of your surviving ancestors.
The face in your mirror was shared by the men and women who came before you. Your duty is to carry it forward.

The bones in a man's face are thickest in exactly the places a fist lands.
Why men's faces, shoulders, hands and voices are built the way they are, and why those traits are fading inside one lifetime.

Hundreds of men like you live a short drive away.
If one man in a hundred shares your values, a city of fifty thousand men holds five hundred of them. Why they almost never meet, and where to start.

[Tournament Male @TournamentMale]

Home. Work. And no third place.
Guilds, lodges, union halls, the regulars at the pub: for most of history a man had somewhere to meet men like him. Inside one lifetime most of those places emptied.

Why men are built like a V.
Wide shoulders on a narrow waist are a lever for throwing overhand, a build that appeared almost two million years ago.

I can't stand modern "drop your ego" advice.
Men used to hang massive painted portraits of themselves above the fireplace. Now they're told to drop their ego to have a good life.

[Tournament Male @TournamentMale]

Same species. Two builds.
Shoulders, hips, height, jaw and voice: every difference between men and women records the contest that built it.

[Tournament Male @TournamentMale]

The primary method of controlling men is through guilt.
Most men are governed by honor and apologize the moment they're told they've harmed someone. That is the lever.

Bred docile for 9,000 years.
Turn a farm pig loose and within a few generations it looks like a wild boar again. The design was switched off, never deleted.

Testosterone: -1% a year.
Testosterone, sperm counts and young men's grip strength are all falling as the roles that called on a man's body disappear.

The biggest voice gap of any ape.
A man's voice sits almost an octave below a woman's, dropped for the same reason a red deer stag roars down rivals.
