    I have heard some of what he says, a lot of it is bullshit like “Real men do ____ and ____”.

    Lol, as a man well into my 30s, real men don’t give a shit and don’t wait around to listen to someone else how to tell them to be a man. Real men have their own confidence and know that being masculine isn’t something that someone else can give you, but something you have to build yourself.

    You want to go work on cars and smoke all day? Awesome, you’re a man. You want to go drink fruity cocktails and drive a Prius? Also awesome, and you’re also just as much of a man. Because manliness isn’t worrying about what someone wears or does, if anything that’s the exact opposite of masculinity. Real masculinity is being confident in yourself and not giving a shit what other people think of you.

      Yep, he does do that. And the point isn’t even to create masculinity in his audience, it’s to sell low-quality shit to rubes. It’s an MLM for young men – kind of like crypto/NFTs but for those who are more concerned about their masculinity than their finances.

        Get rich quick schemes are always an easy way to sell to people. The age old “someday you’ll be like me if you just buy my shitty product
