    There's one big thing that's missing here, and that's men's addiction to incredibly messed up, incredibly explicit online content, if ya know what I mean. Young women are sick of putting up with this. They're sick of being asked to do degrading things. And young men can't get it up because reality doesn't compare to the extremes of what they can find online. They're being exposed to this from as young as 9 or 10 years old. THAT needs to stop.

As a practicing heathen that harkens to a time before such corruption I hold to the idea that a Jarl / Earl is nothing more than a chieftain, beholden to his people not the other way around. Kingship is a corruption and the only loyalty I need have is to my own vows, which I make with a clear mind in keeping with the ways of Óðinn's teachings. I do not take vows out of fear of the consequences if I don't take a given vow, and I certainly don't bow to authority for authorities' sake!

    I've been on two dates in the last ten years. The first, a friend introduced me to a friend of her husband. We agreed to meet at a steak house for dinner the following Friday. We met in the parking lot and then as we walked toward the entrance, he didn't walk with me. Instead, he charged ahead of me by at least ten feet. I thought it was because he wanted to be chivalrous and open the door for me (which I would have graciously thanked him for, because I have manners). Instead, he went inside without a backwards glance and let the door literally slam in my face. I stood there for a moment, stunned, and thinking, "Wow, this is your first date best behavior?" and then I went back to my car and left. I didn't see any point in continuing. The second was a high school classmate I hadn't seen in 30 years. He asked me out and I agreed with the caveat that I couldn't do it for a few weeks because I was working harvest and putting in 15-18 hour days that started before sunrise. He didn't like that and badgered me non-stop for the next 3 weeks, blowing up my phone with text messages because he didn't want to wait for harvest to be over. It was very annoying. The day harvest ended, he pestered me again and I agreed to meet him at a restaurant at 6 pm. At that point I just wanted to get it over with. He was 20 minutes late and showed up just as I was giving up and leaving. He was hostile when I asked why he didn't let me know he was going to be late (after demonstrating for 3 weeks that he knew how to send a text message), and then over dinner, he bragged non-stop about all the people he had beaten up over the years, in detail, including his brothers, his father, his sons, and his ex-wife....telling me all of this as if I was supposed to be impressed with his fighting skills...while I'm sitting there thinking "He knows I'm a survivor of domestic violence but he thinks this will impress me?" I cut the date short and went home. He blew up my phone daily for the next month, trying to convince me to have dinner with him again and "give him a second chance." I had no choice but to be rude about it to get him to leave me alone. I've gone on "girls night out" with friends and all we encounter are divorcees who are touchy-feely-gropey, rude, and clearly only looking for a one night stand. I'd rather stay home with my dog.

      went on a hike the other day. beautiful sunny day lots of people around. This woman my age ran by and was stopping near the water's edge like me every few minutes. I passed by without stopping and made a comment that she laughed at. 10 minutes later she ran by me and made sure to say "just passing on your left" but the path was huge there was no reason to even say that to me but it sounded very friendly. 10 minutes later i stumbled upon her again on a quiet path by the water and it was just the 2 of us.. she looked and saw me come down the path and made a weird surprised noise and took off...fast... So we went from casually be friendly/flirty to me being...creepy because we were both doing the exact same type of exploring. I was hoping that 3rd time i could introduce myself...but whatever.

    “We need to get back to celebrating masculinity”
    I agree but why do you never address how that all happened? Me, as a woman, don’t know even one woman from my inner circle who has NOT experienced some kind of sexual violence from a man. Especially in relationships but also from strangers.
    How do you expect us to not be scared of men? To not be scared even when a man approaches us?
    I’m tired of the relationships that sucked the life out of me.
    And then men in the comments here call me dumb feminist and then proceed to say that they are not in relationships because they as well are tired of women.
    So they have all the right to criticize women but don’t feel the need to take any responsibility?
    Can you please address this. Because I get your point, I enjoy watching your videos but this is something that doesn’t make sense to me.
    Women are hurt. They have to raise their kids all alone even though they have a husband, they have to go to work at the same time and and then are expected to still have the energy to be pretty and have sex with their men.
    And then men have the nerve to only talk about the fact that women are overweight.
    The question is what have you done to support your woman to feel better, to actually be able to be feminine? I can’t be feminine if I constantly have to work and at the same time care for my kids and at the same time protect myself from the world. I have to be in my masculine energy so that my life doesn’t fall apart. Because there is no man protecting and helping me and instead just criticizes me for how I look.
    That’s what most women would say.

      It's just an observation I made as a millenial growing up.
      Women of my generation got seduced by older men with no real self-esteem to "fix them".
      They were young and older women told them that all men are this immature.
      The shere idea of men and women growing up and maturing together just didn't really exist.
      So the women failed as mentors because that would have meant that they need to admit that they had a type and said type lead to said relationships.
      Men tried to have emotional intimacy only in romantic relationships viewing us young men as competition that needed to be stomped not mentored.
      Healing means to start with oneself and that didn't happen on a very big scale.
      The christian influence of viewing sex as dirty delivered into the modern hedonism except this time they don't do it in the open instead of basements.
      My solution to this is that at first we all actually have our chosen small communities again.
      That is effort and work but it needs to be done.
      As a man growing up older and insecure men pressure us into thinking that having sex is everything that matters.
      They think getting laid is the achievement and it's special to them because that is the only time when they allow themselves to feel something.
      That is why they become so pushy about it.
      They are usually in positions of power.

    Very interesting take on things and I agree with much of it; nothing beats a truly masculine man. Polarity creates attraction. From an older woman's perspective however, men in later life are also often overweight and impotent as well because they don't look after themselves. And in spite of that they're not interested in women their own age either.

    It's worse than you think. All sex is not equal.
    In our younger days the norm was mostly sex within serious(ish) relationships, and maybe some casual encounters on the side.
    What has happened is that people are no longer in relationships. Obviously that in itself means less sex, but it also means that what sex people are having now is skewed towards risky, loveless, degenerate sex, rather than the kind that nurtures fulfilling relationships and procreation.

      The problem is that gmo crops have a gene that makes a pesticide in the cells of the crops. It destroys any insects that eat the gmo plants. That means that any time that the bees get the pollen from crops and make it into honey and then eat it. They are eating pesticides. Also you can't wash it off like with the spray on ones. Framers used to time when they would spray their pesticides after the bees did their pollenating. Now they can't do that because the gmo's make pesticides all year long. Is it any wonder the bee population been dropping off in line with the increase in gmo use. The worst part of all is the fact that local plants and weeds near farms have been showing signs that the gmo genes have spread to them as well. meaning it will be very hard to fix this problem in the long run.

I've watched a friend, that for years, banged anything that moved, and now he is the one who has kids, although he didn't wanted them when we were younger. I think luck plays a big role in this nowadays. And I know it's not the manliest thing not to assume full responsability (certainly, I'm aware I could have done more to improve my situation), but I feel the system is rigged in so many ways. Traditional values and family models are under attack from so many directions that it sometimes seems hopeless for someone like me. The people that I see together with kids, I really admire them.

    There are honestly a lot of great points by men and women in this forum. Intimacy and sex is still important to maintain a balance spiritually. But at the same time, focusing on your purpose is just as important. People need to work on being their authentic selves before comitting to another human being. Know thyself before trying to make others happy. Great channel btw, you have a new subscriber.

Balance is key to all things. I am married for 15+ years, we still really like each other, every evening at some point we end up in tears laughing about something. She was direct and honest from the start, knew where she stood, she has great job and with it also contributes massively to our financial situation. I noticed that guys (and women) who write online comments tend to get stuck in a fantasy like "I want a super sweet, feminine, lovely nurturing caring woman" and conversely some women want someone looking like Khal Drogo but have the character of prince charming etc. These are fantasies, often triggered by seeing the pure opposite, the "kill all men" screaming blue-haired ultra-feminist on one side and the incel doing incel stuff on the other. If you truly seek sustained happiness and not just a massive dopamine hit via temporary infatuation, look for character traits that complement you, harmonize with you and at the end also, accept some imperfections.

    Nowadays most young men are working to make ends meet.
    Their minimum-wage jobs barely pay off rent of their tiny apartments.
    In such conditions there’s just no room for children.

    'Sexual market value' is better expressed as 'sexual/erotic capital' and it is a real thing. I see a swing towards sexual norms that are more commonly found in societies where women of marriageable age are high-value commodities BUT only men who can afford to support them and the resulting family are eligible to get together with those women. In Morocco where I lived for 4 years over 50% of young males are unemployed and therefore unable to support a family so they are locked out of romantic relationships. The women choose from the much smaller pool of financially eligible men (sometimes men who are much much older than they are) or else turn to studying in the hope of leaving their community and country to gain their own financial independence.
    In the West most men's earnings are no longer sufficient to support a wife and family. Women meanwhile can enjoy their 'time in the sun' while they are earning money and attracting male attention - but as soon as they cohabit with a man the amount of 'second shift' work they have to do increases (I mean housework, domestic duties, food provisioning, emotional labour) but they get nothing in return apart from having to clean up after a man. Men on the other hand get the social approval of having woman and especially their status is elevated in the eyes of other men. So the question is, why would young fertile women want to lose their 'attractiveness potential' by having a baby with a guy who cannot support her and the child?
    Unless western governments bring in family-forward policies to make childcare and housing affordable (and revisit the Wages for Housework movement) women are choosing to enjoy their fertility years as years of fun and male attention, and their post-fertility years as something they can worry about later.

    From my perspective:
    During my school time, not a single girl was interested in me and most of them dated older guys. It was also scary to see how wrong the statement is _the worst she can do is say no_
    Then as a student, I didn't really bother trying because I was so focused on my work and I knew that I wouldn't be able to settle down for a while.
    Then, I had my first job and suddenly girls appeared and hit on me, but I could tell that they were all only interested in my income... I've also come across a stalker and a bunch of very unhinged women (and men, but that's a different story entirely).
    The worst part: I couldn't keep a job. My employer got shut down (my boss got kicked out), another time my employer went bankrupt after a 100-year success story, I got fired twice (for not managing to keep the deadlines). I've worked myself almost to death and my body and mind had to pay for it and yet, I wasn't even remotely paid enough to make it worth all that I had invested and sacrificed (I lacked the money to buy a home and I definitely lacked the job security). Plus, when I came home from work, I had zero energy left for dating...

    I'm 27 and have always been an introverted, reserved man. I can't have sex with a woman if I don't feel love for her. I've never felt confident enough to ask women out. I wish I was, because I feel a bit old now to start from the scratch. I really want to become a father one day. The problem nowadays is that a woman can ruin your entire life and take everything you own with the help of courts, even based on a lie. You could even be the victim during the whole time, and still lose in front of the justice. It happens more often than we think. The previous generations of men are tired of this game and have been warning us about the issues related to dating and marriage. We are now very careful and many of us have spent a lot of time isolated from women because of that.
    So I love women just as much as I fear them... I sincerely hope I will come across a honest and feminine woman who just wants to live a simple life, and who wants to start a family with a calm peaceful man.

Pornography, to me, is death - and death is always easier than life. Becoming a mature engaging person, having to figure out how to approach women and love someone, taking on the risk of love, having character that is attractive, this is all quite hard work compared to the false gratification of meeting your need for sex through porn. And the effect this enormous industry has had on the debasement of both men and women must be very significant.
