The Wannabe Alpha With No Actual Influence He quotes the 48 Laws like scripture but has no authority, network, or results. Talks about power because he’s never had any. 2.

The masculine guide to being respected, desired, and chosen — not “kept around.” I preface this post by saying that men and women can be friends. No strings attached, no hidden agendas, just honest to goodness friendship. I think it’s both healthy and essential for men to have genuine platonic friendships with women and vice […]

Gents, if you’re flirting with a woman you know is married and telling yourself it’s harmless, you’re already halfway to becoming the villain in someone else’s divorce story. 1.
