For only $18,000 you can learn to be a man.

This is interesting, and not in the way some of you are thinking. This is another designed propaganda story. Ronald Levant(Psychologist referred to in the story):
"They feel that their lives are not what they want them to be, and they believe that if they were more masculine, more macho, more 'beast,' their lives would be better," Levant says. But that's rarely the case, he says."

I went and read a couple of reviews which included: "Men may be the perpetrators of almost all of this violence, but they are not the only ones at fault. Rather, reared to strongly endorse masculine norms, they learn habits that often harm women, children, the earth, and themselves."
What do you think this "story" is really about?


 
If they're looking for pain and misery they can join me in a ditch running 4 inch conduit in a few weeks...

Hell, I'd only charge 'em half what that outfit is asking.

Mike
I have been in a trench putting 4 inch conduits for data and phone from what would be the MDF room in a new school to the phone box, about 450 feet away. We would borrow the 90 lb Ingersol Rand air compressor, tie a plastic grocery bag to some jet line and blow it throw.

Thems was the good old days.
 
I would say: join the service. But I'm not so sure anymore? :unsure:
Yeah, nowadays, in the military, it is more important to worry about pronouns and rainbow flags and to have a back DI have you repeating cadence about how oppressed black people have been. I saw a video of that and still it was hard to believe.

Cadence is meant to provide rhythm and confidence, not tell you what a useless and unredeemable piece of shit you are.

And yes, the DI was a black woman.
 
Sounds like a rebooted version of the old cringy "pick up artists" workshops where creepy and socially awkward guys pretending to be absolute poon-slayers charge thousands of dollars for other socially awkward dudes to attend weeklong seminars to learn the "secret arts" of picking up women. Youtube is FULL of videos about these mofos and they are hilarious as all hell...

If a guy REALLY wants to learn how to be a man, simple enough: HANG OUT WITH REAL MEN. They are found at archery and firearm events, aviation spheres, hunting/bushcraft circles, as well as forums for hardcore realistic spaceflight games like Star Citizen. Reevaluate your hobbies. Learn some useful trades, BECOME USEFUL, and you will find yourself among other useful types.
 
Poor saps.

They should just stop worrying about trying to be "real men" whatever B.S. that is.
Just be themselves, be comfortable and be a good person and such.

No need to spend all their money to shysters promoting some stupid mythical image B.S.


It's the manosphere version of the liberal suburban womens' spiritual clubs and "gurus" who do the same thing with their gullible followers. The latter attracts snake oil salesmen hawking powdered organic stuff and oils. The former is home to erection pills and "Brainforce" supplements that use car engine terms to describe how their shit "improves" your brain function...

The plan is to run a couple 6" (one spare) from the pole to a 15kV switch and then to a pair of 3000 kVA transformers and then on to new switchgear.

If you aren't freezing or frying, it ain't ditch work.

Have often wondered about offering a chance to work on the ranch for a week or two at a time. Even have a spare cabin that they could stay in. Would definitely prefer the winter months as there is feeding/haying involved. 33* rain this morning made the mud (it ain't mud) even more fun to slosh around in. Would save all the big fencing projects for them to partake in too.

However, the thought of having to deal with people whining on top of everything is a bit of a put-off.

I think I know what they are looking and it's not what they are getting. They are looking for sense of accomplishment.
 
It's a side effect of feminism/liberal boomers fucking up society. Male grifters selling other men classes on how to be a "Real Man". The Navy Seal ultimate breakfast eating method to have unlimited energy all day! You're not a man if you're not killing yourself every week! Grow an operator beard!

As if your great grandpa who fought indians and built a cabin with his own two hands out of mud bricks had a six pack or deadlifted 500 or ran a 40k.

A lot of people would do that just shoot a deer or get some time to explore someone's property.

Exactly. And the current woke education system does not teach youngsters real life skills like interpreting and respecting social cues, interpersonal communication, and observing personal boundaries so you got a whole generation of lost and dazed NPCs wandering around with no real goals. And that makes them vulnerable to absolute extremes from either side of the spectrum, from radical envirofreaks gluing themselves to streets to the Andrew Tate types, none of which are conducive to healthy and functional mindsets. This is why those who primarily used to produce gun and hunting content like Dry Creek Wrangler School and Keith Warren Hunting are now giving real manliness advice and masculinity topics on their channels. Gotta deprogram a lot of these products of the poisonous modern leftist education system and there is an awful lot that needs to be deprogrammed...

Not nearly as many as want to just come hunt the ranch for free (unfortunately). I've actually legitimately had conversations like this with my wife. Could stick them on the creek that borders our place and let them kayak and fish a bit (just mind the water moccasins). Maybe even let them go out and blow up some armadillos at night, or a coyote or hog if they are lucky enough. Definitely have the firearms to give some of them some experience with shooting. The only downside to all of that is the necessary insurance.

There are ranches that do that man and people pay a lot. It’s essentially the movie City Slickers but I imagine a lot more crying 😂

Might be worth the whining if you hire a few hands to deal with the customers.

Edit: yea I didn’t think about the insurance. That’s gotta be costly. Plus one good lawsuit and risk losing it to some asshole.

Been there, done that. 8 parallel runs of conduit (2 as a spare) to two runs of switch gear. one at 3k amps and the other at 2k amps for a total on the main building of a new school for 5k amps.

Separate athletic building for 2k amps.

I had to write megaohm logs for the insulation and torque logs for the Sq D rig we built. The nuts and bolts on the splice plates have to be at a certain torque in order to not void the Sq D warranty.

On top of that, my job boss borrowed my Greenlee cable cutters that went up to 750 MCM and then lost them and did not pay one penny toward a replacement. Then, in 2008, when the economy was going to crap and we were outbid by out of state companies, I was literally the first person he laid off from the job.

These guys need to use the internet to find manly things to do. That look appealing to them. Then search out local like minded people who are already doing those things. Find a martial arts gym. Or a rock climbing group.
Motocross or local gun range/club. Go white water rafting. Hit the gym. There are billion dollar industries focused on physical fitness and outdoors. Generally the guys doing those things are happy to share their experiences. I would be willing to PT some of these boys for a much smaller fee.
My kids got some military character building when they were younger. Lessons from boot camp.
They learned how to dig holes and bury their mistakes. I had of one of my kid's dig a nice trench to bury a calculator . He swore up and down he lost at school. He smashed it and was dumb enough to hide in a planter. His Mother found it when she re-planted something else. So, I made him dig a trench and we had a funeral for the calculator.
Made him give a eulogy too.

It's not the "education systems" fault. You are looking at groups of children who have been subject to more and more social engineering with each progressive age group. You are looking at children whos parents are too busy fingering their assholes on what ever fucktard fantasy sport to meaningfully talk or play with their kids. Peopel who are afraid to punish their kids or tell them no. People who would rather placate than wearher tantrum. It goes a lot farther than just the TV and school.

I can set them up with a buddy who needs help haying! Do that a few summers as a kid and know what fitness is all about!

Sadly, they will think you at a simp and dump you like a hot rock for a parolee with three baby mamas, a rock habit and a warrant who slaps them around and spends their tax refund on 24”!rims for their Tacoma.

Man… what planet are you from… be nice to them. Maybe it works with fat chicks…. I don’t know.

You can “buy in” To ranch ownership in quite a few places. Sort of like timeshare ownership. But you work doing everything. My old chief does that. Some place in Wyoming. He has “shares” and goes out for a week or two at a time and works his ass off every day and comes home.

Loves it. Has his Colt and horse and goes full cowboy. I told him he can do the same here at Schloss Nitrocellulose for free.. but somehow “Wyoming” is better (yeah right.). Then again, he gets profit sharing, meat, wine, etc from his “ranch” share.

Sounds a bit “socialist to me” but must just be them wyominginistanians.

Anyone want to work like a rented mule for nothing but a plate of beans… hit me up. I’ll put up a tent for you and even call you Toby all week!

Well… he probably did. He probably could if he needed to. Say, moving logs or unsticking a plow. And if he was being chased or chasing someone, probably could “trot” all day and night. Carrying a rifle. Or a shotgun. And then return carrying meat.

The difference is that he didn’t dress up in spandex with “Cinzano” printed on it… have to wear Oakleys in order that his Instagram pic look good while doing it. Or drive 359 miles to get out of a Tesla in order to run a marathon then drive home by way of “carb loading”’at Olive Garden to blog about it from his recliner or at the office cooler.

When he got home from his exercise… there was a wood stove to feed, water to pump, food to process….

He probably also had about 6 percent body fat and was 5’4 and wiry as hell. Could carry a BAR twice his size across No Mand Land or at least a 12 pound Martini across the veldt of Africa chasing Boer’s in a wool uniform in summer.

Unless you are a silver spoon Vanderbilt, a Bush or a Rockefeller, your great granddad was probably one tough as nails MF.

Then came the push to urbanization… packed into cities and later. Suburbs with TV dinners and Barka-loungers and in three generations we are worse than Roman Homo’s.

Strong men make good times and all that. They make them. They didn’t get to live in the nice easy times. That’s where weak men breed. Our Great granddads were Tougher than woodpecker lips.

I bet Camp run by the Federales at Patriot Front is free of charge and if you stick around long enough they might pin on you some insurrection/ terrorism charges and add the prison boot camp package as well.

Men actually go to play because they have a internal drive to be “men”

To me that means all the brainwashing of woke and snowflake crap hasn’t actually changed who most men are at the core.
