An Ode To Ken From The Barbie Movie

Beyond Success ·

2023/09/14

After reviewing the Barbie movie, many listeners wrote angry emails and comments to me. They didn’t like the way the Kens were treated in the movie, but I did. In fact, I saw Ken as the hero in the movie. Why? Well, years ago, after discovering my girlfriend of 5 years cheated on me, I stood on the 57th floor of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel looking down trying to jump. Even though I didn’t, I let my rage and hatred consume me. Because of this rage and hatred I felt, the Red Pill world appealed to

Your Fixer Mindset Is Ruining Your Chance of Finding...

2023/09/07

The “Fixer Mindset” plagues every nice guy who can’t seem to even talk to an attractive lady, let alone start a relationship with her. If you continue letting this broken mindset subconsciously guide you, it can end in complete catastrophe: Like bending over backwards for an ex who still lives with you, and starts bringing new guys into your apartment. This happens more often than you’d think. Why? Well, if you haven’t overcome your early childhood traumas, then you’ll subconsciously recreate

Healthy Boundaries, Relationship Standards, & Jonah Hill

Did you see the latest Jonah Hill controversy with his ex-girlfriend? She shared their text exchange on Instagram, and while they both brought up some good therapeutic points, each of them handled the situation in a poor manner for varying reasons. Since many listeners have written in wondering what I thought about this exchange, I figured I’d dedicate an entire episode to it. What Jonah did wrong, what he did right, and what he should’ve done in this situation if he was fully mature through his

Just because you haven't found love or a successful relationship doesn't mean those two things don’t exist. Yet, this is one of the many myths the Red Pill movement tricks you into believing. The truth? The truth is that the Red Pill community reeks of immature masculinity, marinating in suffering. Inside of everyone fooled by the Red Pill is a little boy who just wants unconditional love. But instead of using the pain to break past your own barriers, the Red Pill dupes you into creating more

The Raw, Unfiltered Truth about the Red Pill Movement

Beyond Success ·

2023/08/17

Listeners and fans have written in for quite a while now wondering what my opinions are about the Red Pill movement, which was largely inspired by Rollo Tomassi’s book, The Rational Male. The Rational Male and the Red Pill movement tries to teach guys how to be “alpha.” But there’s a big, fat problem with this ideology: It’s filled with bitter resentment: Towards “alphas.” Towards women. And worst of all? Towards yourself. In this episode, my friend and men’s coach, Steve Mayeda, and I reveal

Psychology of the Barbie Movie: The Challenge of...

Beyond Success ·

2023/08/10

There’s been considerable backlash about the Barbie movie from both critics and listeners of my show. The problem? Well, most of the criticism comes from certain types of men. In fact, I had to search the darkest corners of the internet just to find a negative review of Barbie that made a decent point. And believe it or not, this fact could explain why they don’t understand women, have no luck attracting them, and can’t create a thriving relationship (even if you have a great desire for one).

Finding Love: How to Set Up a Strong Relationship

If you really want a relationship, then I have bad news: Most guys aren’t ready for a relationship yet. And even if you somehow find a relationship and experience success within it, there’s a good chance that you’ll sabotage the relationship—causing heartache and pain and divorce. So, how can you tell whether you’re ready for a relationship or not? Well, it turns out, there are 3 different “Relationship Levels,” and most guys I coach are stuck in level 1: The level where you’ll sabotage your

What Women Really Want In A Man

2023/07/27

A listener recently wrote in and asked the question: “Do women want a dominant, aggressive and masculine man in long term relationships or do they prefer men with emotions?” Now, there are a lot of different angles to attack this question, and I hit on the major ones in this episode. But the simple fact of asking this question means the listener committed a sin of sexual attractiveness, which will undermine his success with women. What’s this sexual attractiveness sin?

Why You're Likely A Lot Needier Than You Think

2023/07/20

Most guys are a lot needier than they think because neediness reveals itself in hidden ways. For example, the simple act of worrying if you’re attractive is a tell-tale sign of neediness that flies over most guys' heads. But women have a sixth sense for identifying neediness. And nothing will make them feel as disgusted as hanging around a needy man. Here’s why I bring it up: Many listeners of the show write in to ask me about crying in front of women. But most of these listeners are needy, and

Have you ever heard “nice guys finish last?” Imagine this: you’re super nice, know how to flirt with women, but after months of talking to an attractive woman, you get rejected. It always seems to go well until you fall in love with her, only to have it spat back in your face. Most men after years of being the “nice guy” are fed up (and rightly so.) They decide to become an alpha male. They go to the gym, learn “game”, try their hand at pick-up artistry, and for a few dates they’re successful. But

Here’s a true story: James was at a party with his girlfriend. There was a hilarious, tall, and handsome dude who kept making her laugh — obnoxiously loud. She was giving him attention and practically ignoring James. And the jokes he made? They fell flat on their face — she didn’t laugh at all. At first, he started to think, “Damn, I suck.” But after a while, his mind began to race with questions: Is he actually funny, or is she laughing way too hard to get his attention?

The Trump Card for Sexual Attractiveness as a Man

2023/06/15

While sexual attractiveness is important for a healthy relationship, most men overvalue how important it is. This, as a result, makes them more likely to sabotage their relationships. Why? Because it directly violates the one “trump card” for sexual attractiveness to women. Women have a sixth sense at identifying whether you have this “trump card” or not—and caring too much about your sexual attractiveness is a tell-tale sign you don’t have it. The solution?

Here’s the unfortunate truth for most men dating in our modern society: They’re not emotionally mature enough to sustain a successful long-term relationship. When they’re not mature enough, sexual temptation will sabotage their relationships—almost as soon as they exit the honeymoon phase. The solution? Well, first you need to understand that sexual temptation comes from sexual shame when you’re younger. Then, before you’re ready for a long-term relationship, you need to learn how to handle

What are Women Sexually Attracted to in a Man?

2023/06/01

Many men are ignorant about how attraction actually works. Because of this, they’re forever destined to stay single (and alone.) While attraction definitely involves muscles, good looks, and money, it has more to do with: Where you rank on the “Provider Vs. Lover Distinction Ladder.” And what I mean by this is: even the most chiseled, 6-foot hunk of a man can fall into the “Provider” category within a heartbeat. A category with: No respect No sex And you’re treated like a doormat Likewise, a fat,

Most of the events and decisions that cause you psychological issues today happened in your early childhood years. This is actually one of the main culprits behind why it’s so difficult for you to attract women now. Being needy, a push-over, or having no assertive bones in your body require that you “reparent” yourself, especially those inner child parts of yourself that lash out or cause self-sabotage when they get triggered. But you know what? Even though the concept of “reparenting” might sound

Many people sabotage their relationships because they’re so nervous about getting it right, or saying the “wrong” thing. And the reason for this? Their parents subconsciously taught them the harmful concept of “Frustration Intolerance.” And if you have it, you’re more likely to have fights with your spouse, be triggered by small indiscretions your wife makes, or noisy kids in the car. Worst part? Most guys have no idea whether they suffer from “Frustration Intolerance.” And if they do, it only

Good girls date men who are clearly “bad news.” And even though most bad boys display blatant warnings and red flags, the allure of dating one is too strong for most good girls. Why is that? Well, for starters, looks, muscles, money, and even spontaneity is only part of the equation. The other? It’s all to do with the “unfinished business” in both his and her lives.
