Showing your son(s) concrete examples of these things in the home. Very difficult indeed. Plus you are limited to one woman, and personality type. I learned all my patriarchal, alpha behaviors from my father’s example. I didn’t have the manosphere, but those learned behaviors went a long way.

I’m talking about the last sentence, pushing boundaries and taking risks is a good thing to do, this is the place for growth and flow, but the reasoning, I believe and in my own introspection and studies, is coming from the wrong place. Women are there, of course, but for me, taking risks isn’t about impressing anyone. Taking risks for women to know that you’re a man unafraid to embrace challenges is like a little kid doing some stunt and calling mommy and friends to see it; it is fully dependent on external validation (a little may be acceptable and maybe healthy, because we are social animals, but to fully depend on it is where a man loses himself and therefore, his happiness, and in my opinion, is childish and un-manly). Rather, the reason why we should take risks is so that we can push boundaries, so that we will grow. In fact, from my own practice of living, it is during times when I do slightly more than what I can that I experience what is known as the optimal experience. Moreover, we should train ourselves in facing risks because a lot depends on our ability to do so. For example, if we don’t take risks, we will not eat. It is just must less pronounced in the modern world because the only obvious risks are on entreprenuerial ventures, or political office or competition. But for our ancestors, this risks is very real, because if they don’t hunt for wild animals, the wild animals will hunt them, if famine hasn’t killed them yet. To adjust the importance of risk-taking in the modern civilization: if we don’t take risks, we will not make use of our full potential (thus, there is no fulfillment in our lives), and unhappiness, regret, and a life of distraction will consume us.

Let’s take risks, not to impress women, and not only for the promise of growth and greater capability, but because it is where the advancement of humanity relies (like the discovery of the New World and the airplane), and because it is where our strengths are used beyond imagining which in turn gives us the optimal experience.

1. (13 & up) Don’t chase. Be aloof. Let girls come to you. If you do pursue, do it in a carefully calculated way: Pursue and retreat. Push and pull.

Make her chase you. As a man, you need to initiate and lead but frame her as the chaser and you as the selector.

1. (13 & up) Texting, phone calls, etc… Be disciplined in your response. Use the 1-3 ratio in responding to her texts, phone calls. Give her one short text response/phone conversation for every three she gives you.

Pointless rule that will make him overthink pointless details. Personally, would remove this altogether

1. (17 & up) Niceness will never get you laid, but will put you forever in the friend zone and give you a terrible case of blue balls.

False. Niceness doesn’t put a man in the friendzone, but lack of personal boundaries, going for what you want, and lacking dominance/assertiveness will. Be a nice guy, not The Nice Guy. Kindness actually increases attractiveness for both genders (backed by science)

1. (17 & up) Be a leader in every relationship. If you’re on a date, make sure you’re doing something that YOU want to do. She can come along for the ride.

How about doing something you BOTH want to do?

1. (17 & up) Understand shit tests and learn to master them. Girls will always be qualifying you to make sure you’re the alpha male she wants you to be. If you start getting a lot of shit tests, re-evaluate your frame — you’re probably coming across as too needy.

Shit tests are overrated. They definitely exist, but consistent shit tests if you’re already a boss means she has a shitty personality and no manners. These are more common when you suck with girls and are trying to get better

1. (17 & up) Girls will love you, but only opportunistically. If you demonstrate lower value (DLV), their love for you will evaporate.

Cynical. Redundant to previous points. Don’t focus on girls, but people in general will take advantage of you if you do not express your personal boundaries.

1. (17 & up) Show your beta traits occasionally, but use extreme caution when dong so. Girls will want to see that you are stoic, self-reliant, and confident. If you want a shoulder to cry on, get a dog. Use beta comfort only as a reward for good behavior.

Totally agree. Some vulnerability is good, but women want strong men who handle their own shit and don’t constantly get emotional.

1. (13 & up) As an adolescent, you will be consumed with thoughts of sex. Fapping is inevitable. Don’t overdo it though. Control your masculine energy so that it can be harnessed outwardly instead of inwardly in the realm of fantasy.

Use no fap and horniness as the energy to go out and talk to and fuck real women.

1. (17 & up) Embrace the fact that men have huge sexual appetites. Never be ashamed of this and fully appreciate your masculine sexuality.

YES!

1. (17 & up) Make sure that your sexual market rank is at least 1-2 points above hers at all times. This can be done either with attitude, physical fitness, your life passion or some combination of the above.

Again, too analytical and specific. Will only serve to build anxiety and put
him in his head.

1. (13 & up) Don’t EVER BE A DOORMAT. The minute a girl disrespects you call her on it. And if she continues to disrespect you “next” her immediately no matter how emotionally difficult it is. This is absolutely critical to build your long term self-respect/self-confidence.

YES YES YES. Respect and self-respect is the foundation for success.

At 13, much less 17, you will be challenging what represents their core ideas of who they are and how the world works, how men and women should ideally relate, at exactly the same time their hormones are pushing them to rebel from their parents to become independent thinking people. You know, those hormones that make kids refuse to be seen with their parents in public, and make them say things like “you’re so old, you don’t know ANYTHING!” Disney will have made sure they have all the correct attitudes firmly implanted.

I encourage parents to look into the available knowledge on how children physically and socially develop. The vast majority of you will be stunned how quickly and how totally children’s ideas of who they are and how the world works are formed.

If you want to have a real impact on what your children understand of the world you must start as soon as they are born, you must SHOW them how it works by how you live and how you talk about things. You must prevent the children oriented media programing them quickly into little feminist robots. Because that’s why that programming is there, to reach into your home and suborn your children into thinking “proper” thoughts.

This is where it gets hard. Because if you are serious about raising children who actually understand the world and not get programmed to believe a bunch of lies then you can’t use TV or most video games as a baby sitter. Most parents do. Child raising will consume vastly more of your time. As with most things doing whats bad is easy and doing what is good is hard. Its up to you.
