What does fit think of Art Of Manliness? Fedora bullshit or

bit of both

I'd recommend it for kids of single moms who don't know the basics of being a man.

The Rippetoe videos are easily the best they've ever done. Rest of their content is a little silly, but still decently informative.

It makes r/atheism look alpha

totally cringeworthy

>>35119914
Hit and miss

Just be able to discern

Read the book of pook instead

>>35119914
I never used to like the site, but I do now. You just have to realize that it's not about putting hair on your balls so much as it's about getting a decent haircut, being well read, and having interesting masculine hobbies.

But you can't defend every article:

AYY cyka

>>35121340
Nah, not a fan of that.

It's alright in the beginning, but its clear the author went off the deep end by the later entries and his disrespect for women is NOT okay in today's society.

>>35121365
i don't care what you say, having good situational awareness is a great skill to have. Browse liveleak for a few hours and you will lose count of the morons who have died because they weren't aware of their surroundings.

Rippetit's series of videos are pretty damn good. Everything else can be ignored.

>>35121444
those are the only videos i watched from that channel. I did watch one other video talking about cold showers or some shit. But i didn't really listen.

>>35121423

No, its a logical conclusion. He just goes from kind of rejecting some of the trappings of modern society to fully rejecting them and becoming ubermensch.

Want to show those rip vids to friends because they're more accessible than the book, but I don't because I don't want people thinking I watch videos on learning the "art of manliness" *tip*

Art of manliness is fedora as fuck, so is the book of pook, The Game, and pretty much all other media designed to make you a man.

It's helpful - I learned how to tie a tie and minor stuff like that but I wouldn't take it too seriously. I don't think Bret himself takes it too seriously, either.

I have the book and go to the website now and again, but I do it for super-fancy etiquette stuff or things like how to fold a pocket square. There's a lot you don't learn growing up lower-middle class in the midwest.

When I've seen the "tips for living manly" or "how to fucking call a human being on your fucking phone" shit it's usually for fedora-riddled autismos.

Jokes on you, I've even created a hybrid PDF (PDF+odt) with a correct scan of the original "Destruction And Creation" by John R. Boyd (difficult to find the original article, also because it's not really an academic article)

What you're linking is the least autismal article on that site

Why would I tell lies on the internet rly

There are good articles and bad ones. Basically you can use it as a tool to see what you would like to learn/read more about. Example: "Here's why every man should learn to drive stick". So you read about it, start learning more, and get into manual cars and what not.

>Not everyone had a real dad
My mom keeps telling me that I would be a wonderful father (I'm in my early thirties) because of how much I care of everyone in the family.
I'm scared I could be as my father (non-existent, always abroad for work, honest hard worker but a total stranger) and honestly I've even started to date a feminine shemale so that I cannot "accidentally" become a father... some friends of mine got caught with the "uh oh! The condom was broken maybe, because now I'm preggo and you have to marry me" trick.

>>35122233
Jamal pls go

>>35122994
>I've even started to date a feminine shemale so that I cannot "accidentally" become a father
That's pretty gay senpai

I can understand the fear though. Both fears, really. Apparently a lot of people who grew up with shitty fathers are afraid of becoming like their shitty fathers, and many do. I bet you could do it if you really wanted to.

It's good for the minor things, for big things you're better off reading the Greeks

>>35119947
This exactly. Some of it can be a little overly "old timey sir gentleman" type shit, but most of it is pretty good. Hell, sometimes my mom will send me something from the site that I didn't know that I'll read about. Breddy gud/10

>>35121432
It's worth it if it keeps you and those you care about safe.

>>35121490
There's a lot of retarded shit on that site, but what's wrong with making your own candles?

That guy looks incredibly uncomfortable in his own skin. I wouldn't be taking many tips from him.

Me too senpai. It just works.

>>35119914
Some good stuff some shit tier stuff. I like the articles on classical thought ie; ancient greece, etc. Find some cool stuff through it, but theres always going to be shit turned out by media companies when they rely on traffic for profit. If they only published their tier 1 articles and stuff it wouldn't be enough for the family to live off of.

Some of the fitness stuff is cool, and gives you a basic guide for fun things (hobbies, crafts, etc. But there is some garbage shit too, like the relationship info, plus the whole "manly" aspect of it is kinda cringeworthy in the sense that the guys wife basically has to approve of his manliness.

>>35122664

I'm pretty sure the writers for Art of Manliness are Mormons, meaning they don't know shit about masculinity.

>>35119914
Honestly I found the main author a bit of an ex-puss that doesn't really know what he's doing, so instead he focuses on 20th century culture as if that's all there is to manliness.

Playing some fucking 20s melodies and getting a straight razor shave is not "manly" you fucking niggers.

>>35125723
Yeah it just comes across like grandpa cosplay. Pretty gay really.

>>35121383
Being retarded is not manly either. Anyone can do stupid shit that's dangerous, you still look like skinny, unproductive faggots and you are not impressive men at all.

>>35119914
fedora who doesn't even lift. Motherfucker should first get to 200lbs shredded to get some credibility.

>>35122448
I agree it does serve a niche purpose. It's fine for it to exist on the internet, but I wouldn't recommend anyone trying to browse it or something.

>>35125723

It's like some Disney, woman approved, version of "manliness" because his fucking wife writes about how to be a man.

>thinking you can learn how to be a man by watching YouTube videos

I mean I guess the stuff that's like "how to tie a tie" is useful if your father completely failed you, but the social things are Reddit tier cringe. As if you can just magically become a different person because you watched some fuckin YouTube video lmao

I closed two relationship that were next to marriage-status. When she says "please cum inside me" or "wouldn't be wonderful to have a child with your face and raise it together" I literally burn all the bridges.

You have to pick out the good stuff from the stupid shit. On the one hand, aom is why I don't wear oversized clothing and beat up sneakers anymore. But on the other hand, they tell college students to wear sports jackets to class. Good casual wear advice for adults looking bridge certain gaps but any dude going to biology in khakis and a sports jacket looks so far out of place it hurts everyones eyes.

You just have to take the advice in strides. The kibuki warrior podcast was cool. A lot of them are. And encouraging all men to be strong is ok in my book.

The Game was more about how PUA made him and everyone around him unhappy, though. Shame that no one picked up on that and made a market for Strauss to sell them that bullshit.

They can look decent at times, but most of your wardrobe should be well fitting.
I have one oversized T and a size too large henley shirt, it's comfy as fuck and doesn't look bad at all.

It's exactly the same kind of effete submales as anywhere else except clinging to silly masculine markers like facial hair, shaving, outdoors life etc.

It's wearing masculinity as a costume.

It's really weird, because whenever I see a guy obsessed with talking about "manliness" it always seems to be the least manly guy of all.

It's like those dudes that never get laid and call everyone a virgin whenever they get into an argument.

Dumb shit, for the most part, aimed at lumbersexual types who think masculinity is about hobbies and haircuts. Drink whiskey, grow a mustache, and poof – you're a manly man. It's a step up from "drink shitty beer and watch football," but still a far cry from anything that has anything to do with masculinity.

I don't want to go off into deep end at once, but I think this might be the case for a lot of /fit/izens and why some of them are pulled towards Rippetoe. Guy is basically a crazy strong cool old dude with some fun outlooks on life.
Not that it's a big deal if some people subconsciously pick Rip as a father figure, guy has some points I think are pretty legit, and quite frankly, there are lots of worse people you could pick as a father figure.
