Jack Murphy and his man-o-sphere ilk are just repackaged pick-up artists finding another way to shill their scam at insecure young men who also didn't grow up with a strong father figure in their lives. Its why all their "alpha male" shtick is less Achilles or Richard the Lionheart and more Micheal Vick or Al Bundy: because its easy and Appealing."Learning masculinity for myself"? How old is he? What sort of soft, sheltered life has he lived? Masculinity isn't a body of knowledge. There is no cannon. This grifter needs to make a thing dudes do instinctively into some deep pseudo-religion in order to sell it to betas. It's almost certainly a mysterious thing to him, judging from how he discusses it.
I had always wondered where the obsession with lifting in these circles came from. Sure, its good to stay healthy but it gets to the point of absurdity, where you didn't have to do any other exercise. It came to me one day while working: most of these people, the grifters and the grifted, probably never did manual labour. From a guy whos worked construction, nursury work, roofing, lumber mills and other hard labour jobs, you don't really think about going to the gym to get your gains when you're carrying a palm tree on your shoulder, raking up grass from the ground with a metal rake or moving watermelon sized rocks for eight hours a day.
A lot of these grifters and astrology for men would disappear if all young men had to repair roofs for the summers from the ages of 16 to 21.
