I am frankly disgusted with these pale versions of masculinity which do nothing for the future and possess no vision beyond their own hedonistic pleasure or pride.

I deliver a new label: Long-Game Masculinity. A vision 100 years from now with a focus on creating mindful ripples.
Given 3 descendants from me who get married, that means 6 in the next generation. 9 grandkids who get married means 18 in that generation. 27 great-grandkids who get married means 54 in that generation. 81 great-great-grandkids who get married means 162 in that generation.
That’s 240 direct descendants. Add another 80 for every additional descendant I have beyond 3.

My goal is 7 children, which yields me approximately 560 descendants in under 100 years.
That does not include the thousands of ripples into lives as my descendants become doctors and heal the sick in droves, or politicians who change the course of human history.
I envision a world in which my fierce descendants take key positions to drag this world back on course by brute force and sheer will.

My own life is but a stepping stone to this vision.
I’m playing the long game. I’m building an empire.

Every man and woman should be playing the long game. If your goal is to look good naked and have fun before you die, your vision dies with you. If you leave no descendants to carry on your work, you’re a brief flash in the pan.
If you’re not playing the long game, you’re not being serious and should step out of the way.

Plan accordingly and shift your focus down through the years.

Join me in building empires which will stand through the years and make this world better by sheer numbers and willpower.
The red-pill field is one dick measuring contest after another. Men who vie for top spots spend their time on pursuits which are still just in front of their spaces.

Even men of great wisdom and cleverness can be narrow of vision.

That time is done.
Join me in building empires side-by-side. My children need healthy empires with whom they can intermarry and grow the spreading ripples across the whole Earth.

Create a whole empire dedicated to health and enrichment, or become my enemy as you poison the world of my descendants.
Those of you ready to look beyond your short lifespan and build an empire worthy of healing this broken world:

Welcome to Long-Game Masculinity.
Cultivate your descendants if you want to win the long game. Abandon and rob your descendants of you want to lose. And just to be clear...

Descendants = biological, adopted, and mentored.

Folks will think I'm nuts but,

My son is 5. I explain every decision to him. I NEVER tell him to blindly accept what I say.

I'm not raising a perpetual child. Childhood is 18 years and adulthood an average of 62.

Raise your children to THINK. That means EXPLAINING.
Is the temptation there sometimes to rush ahead and not explain? Sure.

Could I handwave his concerns and say I'M THE ADULT? Yes.

Is that parenting? No. It's abdicating responsibility. And prioritizing ego over my responsibility to cultivate a thinking human being.
The best part? He never fights me.

If I say No and he starts to get upset I explain in detail why I made the decision. We walk through the logic. He thinks hard. In the end, he agrees it's the best choice.

Then we compromise. When might that decision be different in the future?

Women with attachment issues find men with attachment issues. It works for a while.

Then they have kids. She gets mad at him for having attachment issues that cause anxiety in her kids.

She demands he change. He has no idea how. So they fight.

This is the majority of divorces.
The key to fixing these relationships is to educate both parents about attachment. When they understand what's happening and have a shared language to talk about it, they can be patient and find solutions.

Then the dad fixes things with the kids. Not the wife. Kids first.
By repairing the relationship with the kids, he repairs their attachment and decreases their anxiety. The mother sees those healthy changes and views him as an asset to the children instead of a threat to their wellbeing.

This allows the couple to reunite with a shared goal.

If you want to succeed, you’ve got to get over the people who call themselves your friend but who undercut your attempts to get better. Who criticize you for working hard, insult you for showing your expertise, and complain about you pursuing your goal. They are not your friend.
The same people who complain about you grinding to pay your dues will say you don’t deserve the success you find on the other side. Their problem is with themselves, not you. Disregard and keep going.
As @ZubyMusic says

“I bet the same cats that’s laughing while I’m chasing my dream
Will be the ones asking for something if I’m major on the scene.”

The people complaining about you working so hard today will be asking for a handout when their cash runs out and you’ve made it.

Paraphrasing @JoshTerryPlays: Demanding a content creator produce a source proving what they’ve said is “a perfect weapon you should never use.” It’s forcing them to produce evidence or be called a liar. Calling them a liar is an attack, not a debate. Do your own research.
He’s right. Asking for a source for more info is great. Researching what you read to make sure it’s true is smart. Debating an idea is also cool.

“YOU’RE FULL OF CRAP, I DEMAND YOU PRODUCE EVIDENCE” is just saying “You’re a liar” in 9 words instead of 3.

Go look up the info.
I get this one a lot. Even about basic neurology. “Men have more vasopressin receptors than women.”

“THIS IS MISOGYNY. I DEMAND TO SEE YOUR SOURCES. PRODUCE EVIDENCE OR BE PROVED A LIAR.”

It’s really: “I don’t like this. I refuse it. And I don’t know how to use Google search.”

Ladies looking for quality men:

High quality guys are being set up by their aunts and grandmas and everyone at work and church. People want those guys connected to their family, specifically their sweet female family members who stay at home and want to build a family.

Thread:
Dating websites are basically what's left over from healthy pairing. Dudes on dating websites are often there because they don't have the social skills and relationship awareness required to get recommended dates within their social network. That's why those DMs are all dickpicks
Which is why stats show that 90% of women are competing for the top 10% of men on dating websites, and those men cycle the women for endless sex while pretending to commit.

Many of the remaining 90% of men are desperate for sexual approval from women. They get clingy super fast.

"Adam my marriage is cold and my spouse resents me. Sex is rare. What can I do?"

My DMs, email, and comment sections are packed with people asking me this. Their marriage is stuck and they want to get better but don't know how.

Here's a thread of my best resources to fix this.
Number 1, Let me show you what a good marriage looks like. If you've never seen one you can't imagine a solution. You need to know good from bad in order to do better or ask for changes.

Here's my guide to improving a marriage and how it should look.
While watching that video you may say, "This stuff sounds hard. How can I open up like that? I get nervous just thinking about it."

Chances are you might have attachment issues. Most people who have them don't realize it. Here's a guide on attachment.
