@@coachingconfidant2785 1stMan is my main channel right now. I don’t really listen to anybody else at the moment. I do respect people that would like to invest in helping men get better tho.
This man right here has built from a mud to this level in front of my eyes. He does what he says . He doesn't just motivate, he guides us . I am 18 year old poor boy from Nepal, never seen a man so authentic and confident in his word. I hope 1stman grows and expands even in Asian countries. I can't thank you with my word for the perspective you have provided me to see this life differently and work on myself . I am constantly hitting gym, reading books and trying to get a job while studying. God is with you, we are with you.
Wow, I really appreciate the kind words Brother. I'm blown away by that comment, thank you and good luck with everything, trust in the male advantage process
I was the guy you described at the beginning. First, I was the guy that chased tail and didn't focus on myself. Next, I was Disney princess. Got married (now divorced) and STILL disregarded MYSELF. These days, it's about ME. I am my own boss. Great video, Chris. If I would have heard this 10 years ago, it would have changed my perspective, and saved me a lot of bullshit. Listen to this guy, everyone. Live for YOURSELF. Edit: subscribed!
Appreciate it Christopher, thank you for subbing. Nothing better than living for you, would love to add this comment to a book of comments I'm building
this is powerful man. Im in school right now grinding my ass off with my math degree for a well paying job, as well as the gym and my powerlifting goals, and i'm very grateful that i'm on the right path. Great message.
Thanks man. Yeah stick with this system man it'll pay off I promise. Every month my life is clicking right now, once you get around 28 and beyond it all comes together as long as you worked hard and made the right decisions
@@1STMAN Hell yeah man. Even right now im getting what I call lifes newbie gains. Im more confident, and everything is starting to already fall into place for me. Can't wait to see whats in store for me later in life.
Most young guys say they think Kris is arrogant and cocky. But the reality is they just can’t handle the truth. What’s arrogant is people my age (19 years old) thinking they know more than Kris😂 I’ve been watching Kris for just over a year, and gradually his mindset has been installed into me. And the positive impacts on my life have been immense. Love coming back to these old videos for a bit of motivation while I’m putting in the work everyday. Appreciate all the great content Kris🙏🏼
Listen to this man he's wise beyond his years. When I didn't have money I realized how important it was. The majority of problems stem from money in some way or another. Once I started to get good amounts of money I couldn't stop because as I said, it takes care of most of your problems. From your family getting sick to your pet getting sick and just paying the bill like nothing, from needing the car fixed or buying a new one that same weekend. Money matters and it matters more than any of us think. Only when you've felt less of a man when you didn't have money to take care of an emergency, is when you truly learn the importance of money.
This video Kris was absolutely phenomenal. I can hear the passion, enthusiasm and strength in your voice as you were ranting with sincerity and realism throughout your video. The dry sarcasm really suited the tonality of your delivery style. You are not expressing to be mean or to alleviate people's self esteem, you are doing it because you are empathetic, you care and sharing your life experiences with us. I have been taking notes ever since I was introduced your channel. I am really going to thank you one day Kris, because you are the person I would want surround myself with. My utmost respect goes towards you for your mind-blowing content. It was beyond a 10/10. God bless you brother.
Appreciate it man. Glad to know people resonated. I just see men's lives going to shit and I know I can stop it, but most don't want to listen. However swearing, getting angry etc seems to wake a handful up
That story about the struggles of having no money was literally my whole childhood 😅 Please get your finances in order before even thinking about raising a family. It’s not fun being a kid growing up seeing your parents constantly fight over money.
I'm 21 and I've taken every piece of advice you've given. The Stick or Twist video changed my life, you boosted my work ethic by a million!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!❤
Appreciate the time invested man, really helps the channel so thank you. Yeah the stick or twist around 27 is key to an average life or a great one, it's so interesting to watch ambitious men cop out when a woman and a mortgage is displayed as an option
Dude, Im gonna graduate, and I just got my dream job, so I started focusing on the gym more and was kinda slipping up and taking it easy on my business ideas and finance since I figured ill be fine with my 9 to 5. This video was like a kick in the gut. You were spot on about so many things about me and my SO too its crazy. Thanks for the message bro cheers
Glad the video helped Jack, that's all it takes sometimes is self-accountability, just a quick look at ourselves from the external viewpoint. Build your foundation and protect it, everything else is your outer circle
i literally love your channel so much. I'm from London and I've been watching for about 6 months and its helped me in so many ways financially, health wise and in planning my 20s out. The last year my life has already massively improved and by the end of this decade I know it'll be unrecognisable. Thanks a lot, please keep going your making a big difference!
31 yo old woman here and this guy is right. If you dont get a handle on money, you're fucked. I used to clean for a living, I used to make 20 quid last a full week. Im a sole trader now, just a small one person business but make decent money. Im in a 6 year relationship with a wonderful man who started off just like me, poor and broke. I've helped him learn how to save up, taken on the majority of the bills for our little apartment and recently paid a bill for the car, so he could put more into his savings. He works very hard but without capital you cant do anything to help yourself. We strictly do not use credit cards and live extremely frugally, allowing for maximum savings in the bank. People laugh and mock us for being this way amd childfree. You have to have a poker face if you wanna make life work for you. If you wanna find a good woman, looking online is the worst thing you can do. Not many women with my mindset exist but trust me they are out there. Kudoa to the channel here for helping guys. Ya'll deserve to be your best selves. Don't let other people suck you into their worlds of misery. I'm 31 unmarried and no kids. I don't give a fuck who hates me for that. You shouldn't either. Just do you~
Everything is relative. This joker says you need 8 to 10k to get through a month. NO YOU DONT. You are trying to keep up with the joneses. Then yeah you need alot. But the MISTAKE being made here. Is assuming what one man calls success. Is another man's heaven. And thats the problem.
This made me emotional and so proud of you, Kris. Seeing so many of what you describe in my own father and in the lazy friends I used to keep me. What a ripple effect the priorities truly unleash on our lives and on the lives of our dependents!
True words. Despite hating her for leaving me, after time I realized it was the best thing that could happen to me, cuz it was a huge lesson and allowed me to realize all my flaws. That's where every improvement started.
I never comment on UA-cam but this is one of the best video I’ve ever seen. So much truth in it… Very smart and could be eye-opening for a lot of people around me that never realised how it works. Keep up the good work.
"I don't buy expensive shit if I don't need it because I'm used to living like shit" I feel you on this one. This is why we'll win. Great video man, made cardio a bit more enjoyable today.
"The Cardio Podcast" - there's a good idea in that. So many men trying to win at 25, it's so silly, at 35 they'll have nothing left and will eventually sell the car, the house etc and have to downgrade everything, meaning they'll lose the woman/women anyway which is the real reason they're doing it
your content is so important Kris. A lot of guys like me feel behind in life, especially when we’re not rich by our mid/late 20s. You provide a clarity that young men really need. Thanks
Damn Kris, I already know this going to be banger. Before I even finish this video, let me go ahead and say thank you for this amazing content and all that you do.
Thanks Jordan, had this video running through my head for days, I had to put some people in their place and make men realise this isn't a game, you mess up now and there's no going back - might be my most important video ever
You have had a great impact in my life man! Seriously.I understood male advantage completely and understand that life is severe.Greatly appreciate the role you are playing in lives man!
Just got into law school, gonna be networking, interning and be working my ass off for next 5 years. Some people gonna be constant throughout and you will be one of them! Our 1stman community will grow together and be killer dudes in our areas and gonna attract the highest quality women around
Chris mate honestly your a life changer. My only request is that you please do not stop uploading quality content because this stuff truly can transform people for the better
Almost a year later, this advice still rings true. I may still be young, but I’m already starting to see this in my own life. Honestly, it’s everywhere once you have access to this knowledge. I believe that this is one of the best videos on UA-cam for planning out your life because it’s so fucking real and authentic, it really hits home.
I swear it should be law for all young men to watch this video before they are 20, it gives so much realistic perspective without having to go through the painful experiences. Top tier content on UA-cam hands down lmao
I am 18 and since I was born I've never lacked anything, but I don't have anything to spare either. I was able to go to a nice school since little thanks to the efforts of both of my parents but I never saw them and my dad wasn't there when I needed a father figure so I really got hit by what you said in this video and I'm really grateful that I can get advice on all of this things from a man like you kris. Thank you.
Kris I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for your channel man. Been watching your content all year and legit no-one else comes close. I needed you years ago mate, made so many mistakes since 18 like being simpy and chasing girls, racking up a huge uni debt with no purpose, ruining my health partying/drinking, getting injured (I play gk) so now I'm in teenage boy shape again, the list goes on.... I used to think I'd fucked up my life and my best days were in college. But you've taught me that I was living on the feminine timeline. In reality I'm only 7 (25) now and ready to make up for all my errors, while all my friends continue to be completely clueless about the game of life. You've given us the knowledge and tools to succeed. Much love brother!
I see EVERYTHING hahaha. No being serious for a second - I really appreciate comments like this man, they're why I do this channel at the core. Most men are...by no fault of their own, lost and looking for answers in all the wrong places. My biggest regret is finding men in their 40's who I couldn't reach in their youth. I just hope these videos can show more young men the abundance of options available to us if we live correctly because male life is amazing when everything clicks
@@1STMAN Honestly man I'm so thankful I found your channel. You're giving us all hope, direction and a much needed wake up call, its life changing. Can't wait for your stuff to roll out, I'm going to be repping 1stman clothes in Australia. Whatever it takes to support the man himself. With you all the way!
Im fortunate to come from a family where both dad and grand have taken the male advantage and settled after 35 (both MD's); the only thing they ask of me is to give myself the oportunity to experience what a being a real high value man feels like; even telling me to go at least to 40+ to experience it before settleing down; settle up with a better life.
Hands down your best video. It's amazing how wise you are about lives you haven't lived. You've never been married or had kids but you hit the nail on the head how those lives go. One day we'll be doing a colab together talking about this shit
Great talk man. I can't stand it when I hear people who can only afford to go on vacation once a year and live in a mediocre house say "there's more to life than money".
Chris is the father figure we all need. It’s a very interesting topic to discuss about how most dads in this day and age don’t know how to raise a man instead most men raise sons who are insecure and weak and how important it is to look up to someone
@@bennybenny7382 the fact that you realise that is a good sign people like 1st man and Kevin Samuels are perfect people to learn from to become more masculine over time you’ll get there
I'm blessed. I've had a plan from 21 that I stuck to. 37 years old now, my house is paid, we have 100k in the bank and I'm planning on retiring at 45yrs old. Married with two kids who I'm available to give them anything they need as I have the time and money. I still have goals now. Thinking of starting a business in something I've always liked regardless if it makes millions. I can put my happiness first.
The business in something you've always liked is exactly why it'll work. This is what I mean about men, it can take until 37 to figure out our passion/have the tools in place to give it a go. Great work man, you played the patient game and won
38:05 Am 16 Yet I still agree with everything I heard in this video. Am genuinely grateful to be learning from a father figure like you at such a young age. Thank you for everything
This channel is crazy perfect changed my life for ever thanks to all the suffering and bad experiences yo had now you can teach men 💯🙏🏾Blessings from Costa Rica
My Dad is over 50... I have heard Chris spit some game my old man actually told me mistakenly in some angry moments. You better focus on yourself kings. This is not a hate women thing, in fact a wise woman will agree too.
Even though none of this message existed when i was in my early 20's (and I am grateful this generation gets to hear this), I am grateful that I get to chose to live this way in my early 30's. It is a great time to be alive.
Finally someone in the "self development/improvement" field speaking the truth. Thank you good man, hopefully most boys will come across your channel. The world will be a much better place if everyone reacted to reality as it is.
Men listen to the importance of money, so important. I still struggle to understand why people this day and age don't talk about this stuff, It's like most people make the same mistakes and therefore don't educate people as a way of preserving their confidence from the life choices they made when younger. Some of my mates with kids are struggling so bad they have to resort to buying random stuff from stores and bonus balling it on facebook as a way of getting extra cash to pay for their kids. And never ever give in to the stupid pressures of having to have it all figured out by 25 30 etc... Don't be afraid to live rent free with your parents if it means your future won't be fucked.
No worries Tristan, haha yeah a few tough years growing up. Glad I could help, especially at 18 when you have so much time, if you use these next 12 years wisely you're going to be set for life, make it count and stay patient, always plan for the long term
There is nothing more stressful and soul crushing than being broke and stressing about little bills. It stifles your creativity and occupies your mind every minute. Financial freedom has to be handled before anything else.
Speaking pure facts some people just can’t face it cos you’re certain and their ego gets bruised. We all think we know it all and some people can’t handle someone older like you setting us straight💀 the thing you said about thinking a girl is “the one” when really it’s convenient and they leave near you, in the same friend circles and or work/study at the same place is pure facts. Had similar thoughts on that subject but you pieced it all together for me - thank you Chris 🙏💪
This is the first video I've ever seen of you and I must say this is one if the best videos I've ever seen and you are the first to show how important money is compared to other people.
just had a "the one" experience recently with a girl in my class. watched this video a year ago already but when you get caught up in relationships and shit you just forget because you think youre on cloud 9. lol now, coming back and watching it this time just gives a whole new perxpective and has a totally different impact. it has more substance. you're right kris. it was all convenience. i couldve fallen for any other attractive girl i spent a lot of time with. keep making these videos man. keep it up
This video is why I'm buying your book right now @1stman. Thank you Kris for the new perspective! You helped me realize that I had the wrong priorities and that in order to live the best kind of life and be the best man I can be I must put first things first.
I can definitely learner something new today , ur videos are actually different and realistic unlike other youtubers who just keep saying quotes onstead actual advice
Thanks man, I find real work examples work best for explainer videos. A lot of it comes from being poor for years, most YT's just pretend to know what the struggle/hustle is like
@@1STMAN i understand u bro ,i am 21 right now . I came from another country when i was 16 and i am 21 i been homeless few times already, i relate to u so much u are actually like a father figure which i never had, i have too much ego to call anyone father figure bro 😂😭
The energy is so real , I've been bulking whilst 25 and i feel lethargic but, 20 seconds, I just want to do sprints!! The energy is amazing look forward to the rest of this video from this blessed channel
As someone who is older than you by a couple years and has lived a lot of life, been married, divorced, mortgage, burying my dad like you have, I can tell you you’re a 100% spot on with this stuff. The Disney life with a marriage, and a mortgage and kids is largely one huge facade. And to the doubters out there, anyone you think who is living that life happily, just go and stay with them for a week and see how you feel about their relationship behind the scenes. 99% of them go exactly like Kris laid out here. If you’re under 30 and watching this, just have a little faith in us guys in our 30’s who have made it through youth and our 20’s
Thanks man, this content is gold. I remember I've started to watch your videos this year in the winter. Since then, I started a business, i am in great shape. I feel really fucking good. And you helped me see the bigger picture. Thanks for that😁
Amazing talk man, I’m 34 and your channel has me pumped for my next chapter of life. In my 20s I did a lot of dating girls, partying, drugs and alcohol, traveling. It was a blast but it took its toll. I was never a full Chad but I would do well with girls who were 6s and 7s. I could get away with drinking and eating like shit and still staying lean and looking good. However by age 32 I was dependent on prescription pills and was getting out of shape and overweight. I was defintiely not getting the same quality and quantity of women. I got off the drugs and my life has been so much better since. I’ve been learning a foreign language and am getting quite fluent. I’ve picked up some new hobbies which allow me to hang out with friends and family and meet new people. My 9-5 career is going well and I’m earning a solid £100k working from home and renting out a really nice flat. I’ve got a stable girlfriend but she’s not the woman I want to raise a family with. The big thing I need to work on now is my health and fitness. I didn’t realise how much I’ve let myself go and how much I’ve been in denial about my weight gain. I gained 13kg in 10 years and it happened so gradually I didn’t accept it until recently that I’d got fat. I think it was my girlfriend’s constant teasing that made it hit home. She’s fit and goes to the gym. I’ve just recently started on the path eating clean and healty and have started the gym for the first time in my life. I was one of those guys who said before that „I don’t need the gym,, I can get pussy without it,“. Another thing to mention is that at age 30 I hopped on Finasteride and it’s saved my hair. I can say it was definitely the right decision for me. There’s lots of goals ahead still to be reached but life is good and I feel like I'm on the right path. Gonna watch some more videos from this channel! Chris has the wisdom of a guy beyond his age.
The story in the beginning is the almost exact story of my parents. I have seen my father being most joyous when he was able to provide for our family and even though he is a great guy sometimes lack of resources made him bitter. Kris dropping truth bombs here. Lot of love to you my man , Godspeed!
As someone who spent most of 18 to 25 focused on women, I regret it. I’ve been with over 100 women and it hasn’t gotten me anywhere. I wish I spent all those years focused on money. I’m 27 now and much happier now that I’ve taken time away from women and focused on my career. Less stress and more fulfillment. Don’t waste time guys
Hello Sir. I m personally 18 i ve just started the last of highschool in country. I wanna just focus focus on my studies and putting my diet in check for the following 9 to 10 months. I ve got no experience with girls, never been on a date even, but ive never really wanted it. But now as most of my friends have some sort of girlfriend its starting to affect my confidence and my ability to focus on my already mensioned ambitions. I personaly feel like i ve improved so much over the last two years or so getting into semen retention, cold showers and hitting the gym. After finish highschool and get into university I wanna dedicate a whole year picking up girls/ dating / cold approaching just so i can experince that as well and the second year i already wanna start working. I just wanna know whats your opinion on my thought proces?
@@negoescudaniel6511 as an 18 year old myself, just focus on yourself and the women come. I’ve spent the last year on no fap and focusing on myself and trust me the grass is greener. After putting myself in such a better position than last year in all areas of my life. And I’m not stopping.
I'm 15 min in, and 1st man is exactly right... if you're young he's trying to just drop gems. Life will hit you fast if you're not calculated with your moves
Man I almost started crying for you at 16:00 I don't want to feel pity for you. But putting myself in that scenario I can't imagine anything but breaking down. I don't know if you'll see this because the video is old but I want to say that I'm proud of you for pushing through all of that man. And making you proud of me is what keeps me going in all aspects. I should contact you and keep in touch tbf. You sound like a great lad.
It's crazy that story u were telling about the car breaking down, it's identical to a man I know, and he's been very stressed out and started having problems at home and bringing that stress with him wherever he goes. Ur bang on
The thing I like most about your videos is how you are able to talk to the camera for so long without any edits or cuts. That takes some mad skill to do.
Weak men seek more views and more w_m_n. Strong Men seek more power, more options and more tranquility. I saw you from the start. You are 4 real. Keep doing your work. I see you.
Bro, I fucking feel this. Going through my last relationship we were meant to be together. I didn’t step up I got lazy, she had to work three jobs at one point. Just so we could pay bills, I had to watch us go from me driving her to work everyday to seeing her ride the bus in the rain, walking home cold and wet with a few groceries that we could barely afford. I feel awful, I should have been more. I know she wanted me to be more too and she believed in my best self when I didn’t. That’s the only reason why she stayed so long, why she still checks up on my social every now and then. I know she still hopes that I can come back one day with it all figured out. I kept fucking up and I couldn’t be the man she deserved. I should have been better, I didn’t know what being a man was then. I had to leave too, we both did. Sometimes it just feels like we’re both waiting on me to get it right and come back with it all good again. They say money doesn’t matter, but when you can’t take care of the people you love and have to see them struggle because you couldn’t step up to the plate. It fucking hurts, never again.
God damn this video was a slap in the face in a good way. Through watching your videos and having my own experiences (I am 23) I already knew everything you talked about, but man your tone and sight anger really got me.
fucking hell, 15 mins in and this is already 10/10

Most young guys say they think Kris is arrogant and cocky.
But the reality is they just can’t handle the truth.
What’s arrogant is people my age (19 years old) thinking they know more than Kris😂

Love coming back to these old videos for a bit of motivation while I’m putting in the work everyday.
Appreciate all the great content Kris🙏🏼

This video was like a kick in the gut. You were spot on about so many things about me and my SO too its crazy.
Thanks for the message bro cheers
Glad the video helped Jack, that's all it takes sometimes is self-accountability, just a quick look at ourselves from the external viewpoint. Build your foundation and protect it, everything else is your outer circle
i literally love your channel so much. I'm from London and I've been watching for about 6 months and its helped me in so many ways financially, health wise and in planning my 20s out. The last year my life has already massively improved and by the end of this decade I know it'll be unrecognisable. Thanks a lot, please keep going your making a big difference!
Appreciate the support man and thank you for watching. Looking to move back to London in March, I miss it so much
@@1STMAN no thank you, your channel keeps me focused whenever I feel lost. Cool, would be awesome to have you back
"You love each other, Disney style... *Woohoo*"
That dry sarcasm really fits the tone of your delivery style.
the way this man talks, it seems as if he lived 1000 years
31 yo old woman here and this guy is right. If you dont get a handle on money, you're fucked.
I used to clean for a living, I used to make 20 quid last a full week. Im a sole trader now, just a small one person business but make decent money. Im in a 6 year relationship with a wonderful man who started off just like me, poor and broke. I've helped him learn how to save up, taken on the majority of the bills for our little apartment and recently paid a bill for the car, so he could put more into his savings. He works very hard but without capital you cant do anything to help yourself.
We strictly do not use credit cards and live extremely frugally, allowing for maximum savings in the bank. People laugh and mock us for being this way amd childfree.
You have to have a poker face if you wanna make life work for you.
If you wanna find a good woman, looking online is the worst thing you can do. Not many women with my mindset exist but trust me they are out there.
Kudoa to the channel here for helping guys. Ya'll deserve to be your best selves. Don't let other people suck you into their worlds of misery.
I'm 31 unmarried and no kids. I don't give a fuck who hates me for that. You shouldn't either. Just do you~
Everything is relative. This joker says you need 8 to 10k to get through a month. NO YOU DONT. You are trying to keep up with the joneses. Then yeah you need alot. But the MISTAKE being made here. Is assuming what one man calls success. Is another man's heaven. And thats the problem.
@@fender1000100 calling him a joker when we know he beats u in every aspect of life is crazy to me…
This made me emotional and so proud of you, Kris. Seeing so many of what you describe in my own father and in the lazy friends I used to keep me. What a ripple effect the priorities truly unleash on our lives and on the lives of our dependents!
I'm 21 year old and all I can say is thank you for your content, I can't wait for my male advantage to start💯. Respect from 🇿🇦
Good luck G. I’m from Namibia and 19

Same bruv 🇿🇦
Nothing sets a young man on his way to doing more for himself than a good solid break up.
A giant kick up the ass, every man needs 1 in his teens/20's
So trueeeee
True words. Despite hating her for leaving me, after time I realized it was the best thing that could happen to me, cuz it was a huge lesson and allowed me to realize all my flaws. That's where every improvement started.
I never comment on UA-cam but this is one of the best video I’ve ever seen. So much truth in it… Very smart and could be eye-opening for a lot of people around me that never realised how it works.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much, really appreciate the kind words and thank you for the rare comment
"I don't buy expensive shit if I don't need it because I'm used to living like shit" I feel you on this one. This is why we'll win. Great video man, made cardio a bit more enjoyable today.
"The Cardio Podcast" - there's a good idea in that. So many men trying to win at 25, it's so silly, at 35 they'll have nothing left and will eventually sell the car, the house etc and have to downgrade everything, meaning they'll lose the woman/women anyway which is the real reason they're doing it
Man same, Ive been listening to his vids during cardio and my workouts, cooking etc. and you got an amazing physique brother
This dude is so honest and logical and doesnt make bullshit excuses I am very gratfull fo this true Man. He is a inspiration and a great role model.
Appreciate that Lorenzo
This is the video I listen to when I'm feeling down. The best rant ever Kris thank you for the honesty and no filter speech
your content is so important Kris. A lot of guys like me feel behind in life, especially when we’re not rich by our mid/late 20s. You provide a clarity that young men really need. Thanks
Damn Kris, I already know this going to be banger. Before I even finish this video, let me go ahead and say thank you for this amazing content and all that you do.
Thanks Jordan, had this video running through my head for days, I had to put some people in their place and make men realise this isn't a game, you mess up now and there's no going back - might be my most important video ever
Thank god this vid is back
Chris PLEASE DO T TAKE THIS VID DOWN
THIS IS YOUR BEST VIDEO !
You have had a great impact in my life man! Seriously.I understood male advantage completely and understand that life is severe.Greatly appreciate the role you are playing in lives man!
Just got into law school, gonna be networking, interning and be working my ass off for next 5 years. Some people gonna be constant throughout and you will be one of them!
Our 1stman community will grow together and be killer dudes in our areas and gonna attract the highest quality women around
good for you! similar case here, we all gonna make it!
Chris mate honestly your a life changer. My only request is that you please do not stop uploading quality content because this stuff truly can transform people for the better
Love how literally everything you say ties in together and makes so much sense
Almost a year later, this advice still rings true. I may still be young, but I’m already starting to see this in my own life. Honestly, it’s everywhere once you have access to this knowledge. I believe that this is one of the best videos on UA-cam for planning out your life because it’s so fucking real and authentic, it really hits home.
This is such an eye opener at 18yrs. Life isn’t a game and time is ticking
I swear it should be law for all young men to watch this video before they are 20, it gives so much realistic perspective without having to go through the painful experiences. Top tier content on UA-cam hands down lmao
so truee!
I am 18 and since I was born I've never lacked anything, but I don't have anything to spare either. I was able to go to a nice school since little thanks to the efforts of both of my parents but I never saw them and my dad wasn't there when I needed a father figure so I really got hit by what you said in this video and I'm really grateful that I can get advice on all of this things from a man like you kris. Thank you.
You have completely changed my way of thinking, my mindset, thank you so much Kris.
We need more videos like this Kris. Real shit. As a younger fella really appreciate this .
Thanks man, make sure you use those years wisely, you're so lucky
Kris I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for your channel man. Been watching your content all year and legit no-one else comes close. I needed you years ago mate, made so many mistakes since 18 like being simpy and chasing girls, racking up a huge uni debt with no purpose, ruining my health partying/drinking, getting injured (I play gk) so now I'm in teenage boy shape again, the list goes on.... I used to think I'd fucked up my life and my best days were in college. But you've taught me that I was living on the feminine timeline. In reality I'm only 7 (25) now and ready to make up for all my errors, while all my friends continue to be completely clueless about the game of life. You've given us the knowledge and tools to succeed. Much love brother!
I see EVERYTHING hahaha. No being serious for a second - I really appreciate comments like this man, they're why I do this channel at the core. Most men are...by no fault of their own, lost and looking for answers in all the wrong places. My biggest regret is finding men in their 40's who I couldn't reach in their youth. I just hope these videos can show more young men the abundance of options available to us if we live correctly because male life is amazing when everything clicks
@@1STMAN Honestly man I'm so thankful I found your channel. You're giving us all hope, direction and a much needed wake up call, its life changing. Can't wait for your stuff to roll out, I'm going to be repping 1stman clothes in Australia. Whatever it takes to support the man himself. With you all the way!
Im fortunate to come from a family where both dad and grand have taken the male advantage and settled after 35 (both MD's); the only thing they ask of me is to give myself the oportunity to experience what a being a real high value man feels like; even telling me to go at least to 40+ to experience it before settleing down; settle up with a better life.
They're spot on, wise men. There's literally no debate, selfish men succeed
I really appreciate this video. For the longest time I had the “they just want money” mindset, but it all makes sense now.
Hands down your best video. It's amazing how wise you are about lives you haven't lived. You've never been married or had kids but you hit the nail on the head how those lives go.
One day we'll be doing a colab together talking about this shit
That would be great Ryan I'd love that man. I'm quite analytical so I watch others and how their decisions impacted their lives
Got nothing but love for Kris, always keeping it real and no filter, thanks for the video bro, listening to it on the car journey home from work
Great talk man. I can't stand it when I hear people who can only afford to go on vacation once a year and live in a mediocre house say "there's more to life than money".
Chris is the father figure we all need. It’s a very interesting topic to discuss about how most dads in this day and age don’t know how to raise a man instead most men raise sons who are insecure and weak and how important it is to look up to someone
Appreciate that man, that's very kind. I was lucky with my Dad, really taught me how to take care of myself
I was raised by a single mother, messed me up big time. Done nothing for my reproductive success, Inside I honestly feel worthless and feminine.
@@bennybenny7382 not your fault mate . Aim to improve
@@bennybenny7382 the fact that you realise that is a good sign people like 1st man and Kevin Samuels are perfect people to learn from to become more masculine over time you’ll get there
@@emteevee4086 Thanks mate you too
I'm blessed. I've had a plan from 21 that I stuck to. 37 years old now, my house is paid, we have 100k in the bank and I'm planning on retiring at 45yrs old. Married with two kids who I'm available to give them anything they need as I have the time and money. I still have goals now. Thinking of starting a business in something I've always liked regardless if it makes millions. I can put my happiness first.
The business in something you've always liked is exactly why it'll work. This is what I mean about men, it can take until 37 to figure out our passion/have the tools in place to give it a go. Great work man, you played the patient game and won
38:05 Am 16 Yet I still agree with everything I heard in this video. Am genuinely grateful to be learning from a father figure like you at such a young age. Thank you for everything
Out of all your videos this is probably the one that has had the most impact on me really eye opening stuff appreciate the effort
This channel is crazy perfect changed my life for ever thanks to all the suffering and bad experiences yo had now you can teach men 💯🙏🏾Blessings from Costa Rica
Straight facts listened to this without skipping what a man of a man this guy is
My Dad is over 50... I have heard Chris spit some game my old man actually told me mistakenly in some angry moments. You better focus on yourself kings. This is not a hate women thing, in fact a wise woman will agree too.
Even though none of this message existed when i was in my early 20's (and I am grateful this generation gets to hear this), I am grateful that I get to chose to live this way in my early 30's. It is a great time to be alive.
Finally someone in the "self development/improvement" field speaking the truth. Thank you good man, hopefully most boys will come across your channel. The world will be a much better place if everyone reacted to reality as it is.
Men listen to the importance of money, so important. I still struggle to understand why people this day and age don't talk about this stuff, It's like most people make the same mistakes and therefore don't educate people as a way of preserving their confidence from the life choices they made when younger. Some of my mates with kids are struggling so bad they have to resort to buying random stuff from stores and bonus balling it on facebook as a way of getting extra cash to pay for their kids. And never ever give in to the stupid pressures of having to have it all figured out by 25 30 etc... Don't be afraid to live rent free with your parents if it means your future won't be fucked.
I am 18 years old my Lad😂. You really changed my mindset with this video. I can see now that you are a Battle Hardened Lad. Thank You💯✊🏾
No worries Tristan, haha yeah a few tough years growing up. Glad I could help, especially at 18 when you have so much time, if you use these next 12 years wisely you're going to be set for life, make it count and stay patient, always plan for the long term
There is nothing more stressful and soul crushing than being broke and stressing about little bills. It stifles your creativity and occupies your mind every minute. Financial freedom has to be handled before anything else.
Speaking pure facts some people just can’t face it cos you’re certain and their ego gets bruised. We all think we know it all and some people can’t handle someone older like you setting us straight💀 the thing you said about thinking a girl is “the one” when really it’s convenient and they leave near you, in the same friend circles and or work/study at the same place is pure facts. Had similar thoughts on that subject but you pieced it all together for me - thank you Chris 🙏💪
Appreciate it Luca, it's something more men should realise - you can fall in love with anyone given time, don't get caught up on one
This is the first video I've ever seen of you and I must say this is one if the best videos I've ever seen and you are the first to show how important money is compared to other people.
Thank you that's very kind
just had a "the one" experience recently with a girl in my class.
watched this video a year ago already but
when you get caught up in relationships and shit you just forget because you think youre on cloud 9. lol
now,
coming back and watching it this time just gives a whole new perxpective and has a totally different impact.
it has more substance.
you're right kris.
it was all convenience.
i couldve fallen for any other attractive girl i spent a lot of time with.
keep making these videos man.
keep it up
This video is why I'm buying your book right now @1stman. Thank you Kris for the new perspective! You helped me realize that I had the wrong priorities and that in order to live the best kind of life and be the best man I can be I must put first things first.
I can definitely learner something new today , ur videos are actually different and realistic unlike other youtubers who just keep saying quotes onstead actual advice
Thanks man, I find real work examples work best for explainer videos. A lot of it comes from being poor for years, most YT's just pretend to know what the struggle/hustle is like
@@1STMAN i understand u bro ,i am 21 right now . I came from another country when i was 16 and i am 21 i been homeless few times already, i relate to u so much u are actually like a father figure which i never had, i have too much ego to call anyone father figure bro 😂😭
The energy is so real , I've been bulking whilst 25 and i feel lethargic but, 20 seconds, I just want to do sprints!! The energy is amazing look forward to the rest of this video from this blessed channel
As someone who is older than you by a couple years and has lived a lot of life, been married, divorced, mortgage, burying my dad like you have, I can tell you you’re a 100% spot on with this stuff. The Disney life with a marriage, and a mortgage and kids is largely one huge facade.
And to the doubters out there, anyone you think who is living that life happily, just go and stay with them for a week and see how you feel about their relationship behind the scenes. 99% of them go exactly like Kris laid out here. If you’re under 30 and watching this, just have a little faith in us guys in our 30’s who have made it through youth and our 20’s
I love him, this guy is the best youtuber I‘ve ever found
Thanks man, this content is gold. I remember I've started to watch your videos this year in the winter. Since then, I started a business, i am in great shape. I feel really fucking good. And you helped me see the bigger picture. Thanks for that😁
Amazing talk man, I’m 34 and your channel has me pumped for my next chapter of life.
In my 20s I did a lot of dating girls, partying, drugs and alcohol, traveling. It was a blast but it took its toll. I was never a full Chad but I would do well with girls who were 6s and 7s. I could get away with drinking and eating like shit and still staying lean and looking good. However by age 32 I was dependent on prescription pills and was getting out of shape and overweight. I was defintiely not getting the same quality and quantity of women.
I got off the drugs and my life has been so much better since. I’ve been learning a foreign language and am getting quite fluent. I’ve picked up some new hobbies which allow me to hang out with friends and family and meet new people.
My 9-5 career is going well and I’m earning a solid £100k working from home and renting out a really nice flat. I’ve got a stable girlfriend but she’s not the woman I want to raise a family with.
The big thing I need to work on now is my health and fitness. I didn’t realise how much I’ve let myself go and how much I’ve been in denial about my weight gain. I gained 13kg in 10 years and it happened so gradually I didn’t accept it until recently that I’d got fat. I think it was my girlfriend’s constant teasing that made it hit home. She’s fit and goes to the gym.
I’ve just recently started on the path eating clean and healty and have started the gym for the first time in my life. I was one of those guys who said before that „I don’t need the gym,, I can get pussy without it,“.
Another thing to mention is that at age 30 I hopped on Finasteride and it’s saved my hair. I can say it was definitely the right decision for me.
There’s lots of goals ahead still to be reached but life is good and I feel like I'm on the right path. Gonna watch some more videos from this channel! Chris has the wisdom of a guy beyond his age.
Does finastride not affect T levels ?
The story in the beginning is the almost exact story of my parents. I have seen my father being most joyous when he was able to provide for our family and even though he is a great guy sometimes lack of resources made him bitter. Kris dropping truth bombs here. Lot of love to you my man , Godspeed!
As someone who spent most of 18 to 25 focused on women, I regret it. I’ve been with over 100 women and it hasn’t gotten me anywhere. I wish I spent all those years focused on money. I’m 27 now and much happier now that I’ve taken time away from women and focused on my career. Less stress and more fulfillment. Don’t waste time guys
Hello Sir. I m personally 18 i ve just started the last of highschool in country. I wanna just focus focus on my studies and putting my diet in check for the following 9 to 10 months.
I ve got no experience with girls, never been on a date even, but ive never really wanted it. But now as most of my friends have some sort of girlfriend its starting to affect my confidence and my ability to focus on my already mensioned ambitions.
I personaly feel like i ve improved so much over the last two years or so getting into semen retention, cold showers and hitting the gym.
After finish highschool and get into university I wanna dedicate a whole year picking up girls/ dating / cold approaching just so i can experince that as well and the second year i already wanna start working.
I just wanna know whats your opinion on my thought proces?
@@negoescudaniel6511 as an 18 year old myself, just focus on yourself and the women come. I’ve spent the last year on no fap and focusing on myself and trust me the grass is greener. After putting myself in such a better position than last year in all areas of my life. And I’m not stopping.
I'm in the exact same position as you, slept with hundreds of women and nothing to show for it. Waste of time
@@BLAKDANGER at least you got to enjoy it. I got pretty much nothing.
@@alexkonoplev2984 you have a point too

Nice man, send me pictures of the things you make, I'd love to see it
I'm 15 min in, and 1st man is exactly right... if you're young he's trying to just drop gems. Life will hit you fast if you're not calculated with your moves
They way you break down things is excellent, i really get depth from your points !
Very good point about if one person raises the bar everyone else does. That’s why the journey never stops.
It's a constant arms race, this is why women are getting hotter and men are getting richer on average every 10 years - we're all pushing each other
17yo here i'm so grateful that i find this channel
This is 100% accurate. Young dudes listen up, if you're smart, you will listen to what he is saying!
This might be one of the greatest speeches I've ever heard. Every man 18-25 needs to watch this, and apply it asap
This is my new favorite video. I needed to hear this. Thank you!
Ngl I'm pretty excited for the streaming platform. Loved the video (as usual)
Man I almost started crying for you at 16:00 I don't want to feel pity for you. But putting myself in that scenario I can't imagine anything but breaking down. I don't know if you'll see this because the video is old but I want to say that I'm proud of you for pushing through all of that man. And making you proud of me is what keeps me going in all aspects. I should contact you and keep in touch tbf. You sound like a great lad.
15 mins in, already speaking facts
real talk, always appreciate your vids man
Thanks man, appreciate you watching
Holy fuck 1 hour , I’ll watch it when I get out of school fr
You know whats crazy, you'll be learning more here then school could ever teach you
@@jshd6638 school is important but they encourage the mentality of slave, so just get ur education and leave
It's crazy that story u were telling about the car breaking down, it's identical to a man I know, and he's been very stressed out and started having problems at home and bringing that stress with him wherever he goes. Ur bang on
Your so articulate but in a way anyone can understand it’s really good, great video
Thank you very much, I swear a little too much but I'll work on that
You Freestyle for 1 hour like an underground Rapper 🔥 respect
im gonna watch your videos over and over again to take it all in, in the hopes that it all sticks and your lessons rub off on me
40 minutes in the energy is on another level!
man, your channel is fucking amazing, literally!!!! You pump out videos regularly and they still provide high quality content!! I am so thankful.
The thing I like most about your videos is how you are able to talk to the camera for so long without any edits or cuts. That takes some mad skill to do.
Appreciate that man, I just like the authenticity
Weak men seek more views and more w_m_n.
Strong Men seek more power, more options and more tranquility.
I saw you from the start. You are 4 real.
Keep doing your work.
I see you.
Beautiful. Most impactful media i’ve listened to outside of The Male Advantage.
That's very kind, thank you
This man needs to keep sending the message to our youngsters that really it. Immaturity is bliss amongst the young YHANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION
I honestly rate young men will benefit more from this content that a lot of stuff on the schools curriculum.
1000%
Bro, I fucking feel this. Going through my last relationship we were meant to be together. I didn’t step up I got lazy, she had to work three jobs at one point. Just so we could pay bills, I had to watch us go from me driving her to work everyday to seeing her ride the bus in the rain, walking home cold and wet with a few groceries that we could barely afford. I feel awful, I should have been more. I know she wanted me to be more too and she believed in my best self when I didn’t. That’s the only reason why she stayed so long, why she still checks up on my social every now and then. I know she still hopes that I can come back one day with it all figured out. I kept fucking up and I couldn’t be the man she deserved. I should have been better, I didn’t know what being a man was then. I had to leave too, we both did. Sometimes it just feels like we’re both waiting on me to get it right and come back with it all good again.
They say money doesn’t matter, but when you can’t take care of the people you love and have to see them struggle because you couldn’t step up to the plate. It fucking hurts, never again.
God damn this video was a slap in the face in a good way. Through watching your videos and having my own experiences (I am 23) I already knew everything you talked about, but man your tone and sight anger really got me.
Damn. What an epic, legit video
Revisting this classic. Incredible.
