And then there is the “11 Simple Rules of All Self-Help Books.”

People have mentioned that some of us add our blog links in the comments but here we go https://brajeshwar.com/2024/11-simple-rules-of-all-self-help...

The best advise I ever got was this.

Don’t listen to other people’s advice. Nobody knows what the hell they’re doing.

Just do your own thing.

Frankly, there are far too many men who have one foot in the “rape is OK” camp. (Framed as “you have to be forceful even if she’s reluctant,” “if she’s drunk or passed out it’s still OK,” “society owes me sex,” etc.) Just look at the insane popularity of Andrew Tate. I think it’s a salient point.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_culture

Anyway, I’d reframe the advice as “be (actual) friends with women and stay the fuck away from the manosphere.”
