Young men will read a 300-page book on how to act busy,
act disinterested,
act detached,
act like they don’t care
instead of just getting busy and becoming someone worth being attracted to.
Most of that old dating advice boils down to this:
-Don’t chase.
-Don’t be needy.
-Have your own life.
-Have something else going on.
All good advice for the most part.
Those traits aren’t attractive because they’re performed.
They’re attractive because they’re what naturally emerge when a man is actually working toward something meaningful.
Purpose creates distance.
Work creates busyness.
Competence creates confidence.
No acting required.
Books like those popularized by Tucker Max showed men how to simulate those signals.
And to be fair, they work to a certain extent.
Of course, Tucker himself has since moved on to a very different message and is living his best life with a beautiful family!
What’s interesting now is the shift.
Two very influential, very different men come to mind.
@AlexHormozi
and
@Cobratate
are leading many young men towards a better path in their own ways.
Building.
Creating.
Discipline.
Legacy.
Proof of work.
So the point was never to ignore women or learn tricks.
It was to build something real. The traits people try to fake naturally emerge from real work.
And yes, I’m unapologetically tying this to Bitcoin.
Fiat fakes the signal.
Bitcoin is proof-of-work.
Choose your standard.
