I had one roommate for a summer with this phenotype. From Egypt originally.
He'd go to strip clubs and cheat on his girlfriend at night, then pray to Allah the next morning in full Muslim garb.
One night he stole all our neighbors’ MacBooks because they left their door unlocked, and I had to convince him to return them because they were coke dealers and I didn’t want him murdered.
Somewhere in the middle of the summer his BMW got mysteriously totaled and I became his driver to work.
We'd spend our weeknights watching shark tank, smoking weed, and doing rap battles. He even gave me the n-word pass. Miss that guy.
Developing African countries like Morocco, Tunisia, Botswana, Algeria and Egypt have nothing against South Africa.
It is always the poverty-stricken ones who have something against us.
A lot of men in their 20s and 30s grind hard on money, career, fitness, and skills. They stack cash, build impressive careers, get in great shape… but completely neglect learning how to lead, attract, and keep high-quality women.
Then they hit 40:
14. They forget they are choosing too
Dating is not an audition where you beg to be selected.
The right mindset:
“I hope she likes me… but I also need to see if she deserves me.”
The goal is not becoming a bad man.
The goal is becoming a complete man.
Kindness with strength.
Confidence with humility.
Love with standards.
That is the difference.
if you're a man, this is going to hit hard
the world does not respect the broke man and it does not respect the confused man
the world does not respect the man who doesn't know what he wants, who can't communicate, or who cannot articulate his ideas. it respects the man who is useful, the man who leads, the man who creates value while you're obsessed with women, desperate for attention and waiting for the next message from the girl you found on twitter after sending a hundred good mornings, you're not just losing that woman, you're losing yourself
when you become a complete man, a woman stops being the objective cos she was never meant to be your objective. she should be the consequence of the man you've been building
so what comes first? you, anyday, anytime
Dear Men,
The probability that you are being overly Cynical in your dealings with women is practically zero.
The probability that you are being overly Naive in your dealings with women is 90%+; most men are in this category.
I don’t think personal development is spoken of enough. Especially if you’re in your 20s, you should invest aggressively in yourself. This isn’t an argument against investing early, it’s for smarter capital allocation.
If spending on a cert or degree, moving to a better place for your productivity, buying a better laptop, outsourcing chores (buying back your time!) or attending the right event can increase your earning potential, that may be a better investment than putting it in any fund or stock.
You need to be able to weigh and use your money to build the life that earns you more money. Do I invest, yes, but I also allocate aggressively on my development
Young men should spend 10 years meeting women before they settle down.
Dating experience is no longer optional.
Watching guys with only long-term relationship experience get destroyed out there is a slow-motion car crash.
