- The idea of manliness has grown indelibly associated with the idea of being cool. We’d be wiser to shift the masculine ideal towards a new idea: warmth.

“For approximately 80 years, the notion of what a man should be like has been heavily influenced by the idea of ‘cool’. The cool man doesn’t try too hard, you don’t see them floundering about in a panic - but they succeed anyway. They are physically confident, they can scale a mountain or saunter down a deserted street in the middle of the night; if they have to kill someone they will do it neatly with minimal fuss; they don’t worry, they are self-contained and sure of themselves; their trousers are always a perfect fit; they express themselves briefly - but their words are always to the point; they’re not meek in the face of authority; but they don’t crave power themselves: they are independent...”

You may be lacking in warmth.
saves me bucketloads of money monthly
You're a man if you know when to be cool and when to be warm.
Best answer!
Wrong. You're a man when u act ....
Great Analogy. Also, Women can be Hot and at the same time, Cold.

Thank you. I was reminded of some of my past ways and though I feel I have an obligation to face what people have to say about my past misdeeds, it left me distraught and hating myself a little.

Oh wow, for some reason your replies didn’t appear in my inbox. I had revisited this video to comment this...
A Man Is...
A man is not quick to anger
He’s not one who’s quick to brawl
If you see a man bullying others
He’s not a man at all
A man is not a quitter
He’s not one to turn and run
When the going gets rough, he gets tough
He’ll remain till the job is done
A man takes no satisfaction
in seeing another fail
He encourages all to try
and to believe that they can prevail
A man will never boast or brag
or kick sand in your eye
He’ll stand firm on his conviction
with his head held to the sky
A man will always lend a hand
when he finds a friend in need
His character and his integrity
makes him a true friend indeed

Yoo😂
A cool man at times, a warm man at times, a stoic man always.
Nah, forget that stoicism all the time BS. Everybody has feelings and everyone needs to share them. It's just about finding the appropriate moments to do so. You can't be a warm man and be always stoic.
Being stoic all the time and repressing your feelings is what causes people to explode with violence and rage.
@@Starmast3rmusic You don't understand stoicism. You have a misconception, peddled by lazy ppl who haven't read anything. I can only conclude you are buying into the feminist narrative.
@@Starmast3rmusic
You are completely wrong
Stoicism is not based on denying or repressing emotions it is based on controlling them which is one of the most important elements of masculinity because you know when explosions and road rage happen when people are not in control of their emotions when they are not stoic
let me teach you something feelings change really really all the time a person who puts his feelings first and foremost is a person doomed to failure and is like a leaf in the wind waiting for his feelings to lead him through life like a pathetic and incompetent leaf
But when a person decides that his decisions, his principles, his tasks, and his goals are more important than his feelings, that's where he can achieve greatness, that's where he can reach his full potential, and that doesn't mean denying them or suppressing them, that means controlling them, and that's what exceptional people and successful people do.
Emotions can be treated like energy but you are the one who has to control and choose where this energy goes and this is reflected in stoicism and control of emotions
If I hate the way my body looks I can use that energy to feel depressed cry and complain about it or I can use that energy to go to the gym and work on my body if I feel angry I can use that anger to do something productive and I can use that energy to kill someone
Controlling your emotions and stoicism is one of the most important things. It gives you the option not to act impulsively due to the emotion (for example, anger to violence, sadness to laziness, etc., etc.) and it gives you the option to direct the emotion to a productive and positive place as opposed to a destructive and negative place
Great Quote thanks for sharing
How to be a man: just be yourself, respecting others, as every other human being.
Exactly, I've never labelled myself as I'm not manly or anything, just that i'm me. Other guys care so much about this, you can still be masculine and not base everything off some construct of a man

The trick is to be warm, but know when to act cool.
being everything at the same time always works
So... keep the balance within oneself?
Exactly!
Yes! balance is everything
Yes, precisely. I think men are better built to juggle both - i.e.- warm inside the home towards their families and cool(er) in their dealings with the outside world. Women in comparison have a harder time with this, perhaps due to their diminished ability to compartmentalize as efficiently as men generally can.
I'm 55 and through the years found that being manly, believe it or not, is never showing anger. When my wife or kids were angry, and ranting at me, I took the punches and showed compassion and interest in their grievances. Over time they saw me as the rock of the family. Unwavering, steadfast and yes a punching bag for their emotions if they need it.
Being angry means you have become emotional. THAT emotion is reserved for physically defending loved ones or yourself. Showing anger means you have lost control because anger is a secondary emotion to fear and frustration.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose control. Be the dependable rock. Be a man.
Truly lovely
Seems a one-way ticket to becoming an alcoholic imo
That is true of women too.

The calm and reserved man is also the best provider and, by far, the most violent and effective should he have to defend his family from harm.

A 'Real' man is whatever he wants to be. Be that 'cool' 'warm' or even bloody tepid if he so chooses. He's anxious, he's overconfident, he's intelligent, he's a mindless brute. He loves sport yet he also can fathom what is entertaining about kicking a ball into a net. He loves computer games and also thinks they're just for children.
Men are 'real' men. And if you live your life by the standard of another man then only then would I venture to say you are not in fact a real man because you are not your own man.
this is like the realest shit anyone's ever said on youtube
I prefer a society that has standards. And since most of those standards are innate, all we really need to do is set realistic goals for our young men and build their confidence by allowing them to fail and learn instead of telling them they can be whatever they want, now sit down and shut up, have you had your ritalin?

Forcing people to be up to specific standarts isn't really an optimal idea, pal. Wouldn't be the first time guys have killed themselves because they couldn't live up to what society expected of them. Just let people be as best as they can.

I liked this video a lot. I actually had to go to a mental hospital because the "I'm too cool to care" mantra drained me in every way possible. I learned while I was there that the strong thing to do is to express my emotions, instead of bottling them up. It's been really liberating living like this. I'm glad to finally be my own person
It´s nice to read your lines, I am happy for you. I work with men and often see how the "too cool to care" mentality makes them really ill. If encouraged and not challenged, it warps the perception of reality and the self. Some of the most beautiful and profound moments are witnessing a man breaking through that wall of defence and false stances, looking the truth in the eye and accepting it. It takes a lot of courage and humility and is admirable. Take care of yourself and I wish you all the best.
Maria Urbel I feel too cool to care as a woman, because of my parents and their parents ( I guess it's a cultural thing).i remember as a kid when I cried my mother punished me. For many years I was disconnected with my emotions and I think now I'm trying to reconnect. But it's so hard without professional help
koshka marvel Dear person, I know it is difficult, it cannot be easy. In fact some patterns go through many generations before someone who is willing to challenge them brings upon a change. Families are quite rigid systems, each person, behavior, relationships, even illnesses have their own function. You have discovered important things about yourself and I hope you continue on this journey. If you feel professional help is necessary, do seek it. There might be painful moments ahead, but there is also light at the end of the tunnel: you can come out of it a stronger, wiser person.
Maria Urbel thank you for your support. I hope to find a real professional, unfortunately my previous attempts wasn't great.
There is a difference between being cold and being cool. Emotional numbness is emotional blindness, which results in miscommunication with one's own self and others. Emotional calm comes in recognising the emotions that rise, yet not being taken for a ride by them. This way, one has the perspective to act appropriately to it than simply being reactive to it. An individual who has made this as second nature to them may seem cold and distant, but their actions would command respect and speak wisdom than a thousand hollow words and reactions.
It's the difference of neither ignoring the stinging leg pain you have nor obsessing over the sensation of it and avoiding any pressure on it, and instead finding out what the cause of the pain is and fixing that cause. If it be a cramp, then taking the decision to do appropriate stretches to fix the issue. A reactive would instead give it no such deeper thought and simply not put any strain on it and complain to everyone to accommodate for the problem without looking into fixing it properly.
This channel is beyond words in which I can pour praises..... I just can say your team a very warm thanks for efforts for keeping many like me confident.

Jordan Leach feminist would freak out about misogyny or something so probably not
NekoWolf, not necessarily. Their video would probably talk about the double standards and warring demands that society makes on its women - then it might talk about how to ignore all the impossible goals and just live your life in a way that makes you happy while harming as few people as possible.

2:54 Russian author Vsevolod Garshin. He wrote short stories about his pacifist believes, love of beauty and aversion to evil. The portrait seen at 2:54 was made by Ilia Efimovich Repin, a painter who he became friends with. Four years after this was painted Garshin committed suicide (just like his father and brother did). I can't put my finger on it but something fascinates me about Garshin.
Thank you for reading and your time :)

The first thing i noticed about the picture was the eyes. They seem so expressive, and the first thing that went through my head when I saw the painting was: "He looks like he is in pain".

thanks for showing this and putting hope. i was doubting myself as a man that im not cool enough.. i am very warm. and this i can say proudly :)
There is a reason why I can't fully get behind a lot of TSoL videos. Most are flawed and give a slightly warped image of reality.
A "real" man if you would have to categorize one as such, would be an fully actualized person who has very defined values and a carefully craftet but dynamic worldview.
Real men have qualities of both types of men showcased here.
The reason "cool" men are attractive is because they appear to have a firm belief and a defined set of values.
The reason "warm" men are so likeable is because they are empathetic and caring.
Contradictory to all media that shits in your head regarding the image of a real male, being confident and relaxed does NOT in any way stand in conflict with being open, empathetic and loving.
What's important is that real men realize that fear is only as devastating as you let it become . And that since everybody struggles with life, being flawed doesn't mean you can't be confident and fully accepting of yourself as well as other people.
You accept your own flaws and those of others while naturally trying to better yourself which in turn benefits all those around you.
That's why both of these two initial types of "real" men are actually complete nonsense once you look deeper into it.
I suggest turning to the old philosophers for actually real guidance on manhood, or for any of these kind of subjects in fact. They indirectly already answered every question a human being could ever need to ask. With pretty much as much thought behind those answers as humanly possible.
underrated comment
Thanks for recognizing :)
Most people watching the video will never read my comment though, too far down.
This is a really good comment and there's a lot of value in a balanced view like this. Consciousness of shared vulnerability, if thought through, should ultimately lead to a kind of confidence.
I think TSoL probably chose to highlight the 'warm' side as a kind of activism. I feel our times are essentially narcissistic and competitive so foregrounding a compassionate realism is very worthwhile. And ultimately one cannot say everything that needs to be said in 4:32, so shifting the conversation positively has value as well.
This! This is it! I agree with every single word. I don't usually like comments but when I do I _really_ mean it.
I know that TSoL can be flawed, but the British accent keeps making me forget.

You must have your own ideals and personality and should not care what others say about you and be worried about that. You say no to let them know that who they treating and talking Is a person too like them not a robot or slave. In time you will overcome fear and say no bit by bit. It all takes time hopefully it helps. Also saying no will earn you respect that Is makes you noticeable for your actions
As he was talking about the warm man, I identified with it a lot. 90% relatable I'd say.
Initially though, I thought it was a bad thing, as if it were the opposite of cool (cool being good).
It then became apparent that being warm, is the new cool. A pleasant surprise.

The thing with the "cool" man is that being one is as unrealistic as the media that portraits it, we are all human and as so we are vulnerable.
I always found the ideo of the "cool" man, well, cool. But that should not stop us from being warm or trying to be.
The "cool" man is as cool as an action movie superhero, is an ideal only truly possible in full extent when it exist in fiction.

Men become what they see women are attracted to. The same applies to what women see men are attracted to. In other words, if you want men to become WARMER men have to see women are attracted to men that are warm. Right now women are attracted to men That Are Cool, are Powerful, and are Wealthy so men strive to become those things.
People are attracted to what they're attracted to, it's a completely individual preference. To say otherwise would be akin to denying the momentous degree of complexity that exists in the world around us.
The world is not black and white.
Titus Orelius It's not "right now." It's always been the case. Biology, evolution.
GrenadeJunkie Just because individual preferences exist doesn't mean there aren't larger trends we can accurately observe and use. It is generally true that women are attracted to wealth, success and confidence. The qualities of the "cool man" represent that. Just because it's neither 0 nor 100% doesn't mean it's not a valid observation. Talk about black and white thinking.
"The world around us is too complex" is a useless truism in the context of studying a specific thing or making a particular observation. It's about as relevant as saying "we can never be absolutely certain."
Titus Orelius I think they are attracted to a modern uninformed view of what a cool man really is. The most powerful men are not fully cool as traits such as being affable and having good social skills are important in business and power. A truly cool man is wild and a true warm man is domesticated. A powerful is neither entirely but balanced.
unfortunately, what many would call 'warm' others would call derogatory such as 'wimps' or 'comic reliefs' or 'pushovers'. The video did well for trying, but I'd like to help by emphasizing the advantages warm men have over cool men:
- warm men are more outgoing and easier to approach, compared to cool men's tense mystery
- warm men can easier make their women feel loved and cared for, than with cool men's outward apathy
- warm men exude energy and life, compared to cool's stoic nature
- warm men appear more 'human', are easier to relate with, and can more easily inspire, than with cool men's invincible appearance
- warm men look up, compared to cool men who look down
Both types of males, warm or cool, have their merits, and I hope my comment has helped inspired those who are more naturally warm to be the best versions of themselves, not wear facades that don't express them at all.
Mr. Fabulous, the gardevoir the warm man is way too pathetic here and yes I know people who are perfectly described to be warm according to this video, and I gotta say its way too pathetic. Everything you said is correct but we don't live in times where we belong in one category. The cool guy in here is obsolete, too hardened by life, but then you have people like me who can write a book about life but chooses to let stuff go and because of experience I can relate to more people that way, my point is the true man according to my experiences has all these qualities and he uses them according to the person or situation at hand.
Mr. Fabulous, the gardevoir because thats what they are. if someone spills something on you you dont reward it with a big tip. If you do that you,re a wimp.
Well spoken
yea but the cool guy gets to fuck more
and thats really whats life about for a man from a biological perspective
Warm men MAY be able to more easily make their woman feel cared and loved for...that is if anyone cares enough to date a warm man. I've been warm most of my life and didn't start getting noticed much by women until I started acting cooler. The only women who go after warm guys are the ones too insecure to be with cool guys
Amazing video, as always.
Being a warm man though sucks, it gets you used and it is received as weakness by the opposite sex. The scenario described in the last part of the video is not only unrealistic but it also sets the tone for a man's life full of pain and heartbreak if taken seriously.
With confidence, I always recommend this channel to anyone struggling or having a hard tme with themselves, the world or their place in it.
For me this channel represents everything good about the internet and youtube.
I'm pretty sure, if you live the warm man long and good enough, then you will look on the outside pretty much like the cool man. I think so, because being "warm" the way you described it, you learn to cope with your problems and at some point you have defeated your anxiety and fears. You know how to handle things and simply stay cool. However nobody feels left cold in your presence, because you don't pretend to have anything under control, you actually have most things under control. Thus you can deal even with the problems of others and show that you care reassuringly. The warm man - really an ideal worth working towards.
Please do a "How to be a woman"!
You clearly have been paying attention to the wrong media, and you haven't been talking to many women. If you are interested, I can point you to a number of discussions of the problems of femininity, and its potential bad consequences for women and man alike. Or to more centered discussions about what femininity (or masculinity) should be, with interesting arguments on all sides.
No name is right. In current western society you are not allowed to criticize women as a group of Femininity without facing tremendous backlash. But it is perfectly fine to demonize men and masculinity all day. This is thanks in large part to Toxic Feminist as well is Conservative Traditionalism.
This is why you frequently hear about how "Toxic" Masculinity is but NEVER here anything about femininity being Toxic or Negative at all. You hear people openly saying boys need to be taught not to rape but never hear the same said to girls. Same when it come to Violence. You hear "Never Hit A Girl" from a very young age repeated over and over again but how often do you hear "Never hit A boy"? Likely Never. This is the reality of our current sexist society that normalizes sexism against men by arguing sexism against men isn't even possible. Thanks Feminism.
No name is wrong, Titus (why not Aurelius?). It all depends who you talk to, and how open- or close-minded they are. Note that you are criticizing women as a group here and nothing happened. I have criticized women, men, and people as groups on different occasions, and I didn't see anybody react angrily to me -- as long as they hear me out. How about you? How comfortable are you with people who disagree with you?
That was indeed the traditional view in some (but by no means all) primitive cultures, but there is no reason to consider it as better than a view that says men, like women, have intrinsic value. The argument that women's existence has value in itself solely based on reproduction (which means, by the way, that women who couldn't reproduce were as 'valueless' as unproven men), while our modern sense of self worth needs something other than that. What once was is not what is, nor is there any reason for it to be inherently 'better' in any way than other ideas.
British Blue, I think she was in principle... agreeing with the idea of having exactly the discussion you're engaging in here. Maybe you didn't read her entire sentence: she said "we have no problem ABOUT HAVING A DISCUSSION", whereas you seem to have read "we have no problem" period.
Doesn't it seem to you a little arrogant to ascribe to other people intentions or beliefs that they explicitly disavowed? How would you feel if she decided to tell you what you think or feel, and how much of "the problem" you are, without listening to what you are saying?
But hey -- I am personally interested. In your opinion, feminism aside, what is femininity? What are women?
I love your videos man! Always with so much knowledge and a great view of the world! Thanks!!
Bro you just described what I am. I'm a warm. Thank you for waking me up inside describing me. There are a lot of us.
I feel like a confident man only got that way through rejection. After a guy gets rejected by many girls he doesn't give a flip or react as much anymore. He basically looses himself because he couldn't win a certain girl over. He stops putting women on a pedestal. Then he works towards what he really wants, muscles, money, social life, and becomes successful. After this turning point women pursue him as he shows that he can support a family and has his own life together.
Why was he putting women on a pedestal in the first place? "To thine own self be true." Likewise, a woman shouldn't put a man at the center of her universe, either -- we should be our own suns, and then reach out to others only once we're alright with ourselves and ourselves alone. Anything else is a folly that will end in "if only I had _____ I'll be happy!" thinking, which ends poorly. External validation is never the way to become alright with our true judge -- ourselves.
The REALLY cool AND warm people know this. It's not about NOT caring about others -- it's about being TRULY fine with OURSELVES first and foremost.
Jessica F that sounds like Randian philosophy mixed with new age self-help dreck.
Mike k .... and then the new man is wise and remember how women treated him and what they are really after to and uses them as what they are heartless objects.
Very true. Although its not the only way, because some are born into this, but then again, very very true.
Luca Raimondo - I don't think mike k has so much enlightment as you do because his words were "he shows that he can support a family", so basically he kill himself trying to climb to the top just to have one of those dumb bitches that treat him like shit on top of himself.
In the future I'll get to say "I was warm before it was cool"
this channel, and "Academy of Ideas" are my go-to channels
I'm a woman but i feel like i need to see this. To understand men better and maybe even my masculine side.
Better advice:
1. Be you.
2. Grow up (maturity-wise).
3. Do it honorably and honestly.
Both of these extremes are outrageously ridiculous and unrealistic (especially in the phrasing).
A "real" or "good" man is on the middle ground between both sides.
He has empathy, but he's not a pussy either. He's independent, but not necessarily a dick.
Too warm, and you're useless. Too cool, and you are literally "that guy" that nobody admires.
One without the other will torture you. Trust me. I've been on both sides of the fence in my life.
Joseph Brand do what You know You have to do.
Best advice:
1. Crush your enemies.
2. Enslave the survivors.
3. Acquire currency.
That's how my great-great-grand daddy did it.
These are not extremes. These are both absolute truths. I incorporated both into the essence of my character and what i found is that i became the most attractive person in any setting at all times people are practically gravitating to me and i became everyones friend and for no other reason.
"It is sad to have no friends. It is even sadder to have no enemies." You "incorporated both into the essence of your character?" So you are pretending. You are a fake. You don't incorporate these things son. Thy are either a part of you o they aren't.
Tony Gambino well i guess you're right about that. So maybe i misphrased the actual meaning what i wanted to convey. What i meant was i have found myself growing into them without me noticing. I just reached an understanding of people that made sympathize with them and vice versa. I don't have enemies not because i suck up to anyone or because i act in any way or form incongruently with my character but rather because ive found away to breach the wall of misunderstanding between me and others by putting myself in the shoes of those im talking to at any moment. In the end what i found is that people arent so different from you and I. We just pursue the same desires differently due to different beliefe sets. What pains us stem from those same desires basically but we give them different reasons than whats actually aching us. I don't have enemies because I learned how to deal with their pain and their beliefs in a way not to disrespect them while informing people about how to not disrespect me. And they listen because I don't give them reason to harm me as anyone else does. Enemies are nothing but two souls unable to communicate properly. The idea one would want to harm another is nothing more than misinterpretation. In reality no one cares about anything but their own happiness. And once you discover the key to happiness and piece of mind you start to notice how to help people get what they really need and want. Granted i've yet to discover the whole truth about the subject myself but somehow i managed to make an internal science and a philosophy about it that just works good enough for my needs and others for now.
Seems to me the ideal Man is a balance between the "warm" and "cool" man. There are times when the qualities of the "cool" man are advantageous, and vice versa at other times.
Since it's so hard to find a definition of what a cool or warm man is. I think you should just try to follow your own truth. As a women that's more attractive and that's what I do personally. The more you follow your emotions and don't deny them the more you're true to yourself.
@@thisisntallowed9560 But you are not your emotions. They aren't really a part of you. Following them won't get you anywhere, which of course doesn't automatically mean you can't experience and acknowledge having them in the first place.
Perhaps you just worded it weirdly, nonetheless this advice seems weak to me.
@@patrolmostwanted I would argue we are both our emotions and our thoughts. That's why clinical depression exist. I shouldn't have said ''follow your emotion'' so quickly, I think we should always listen to our emotions, and use our rational mind to decide how we will act on them.
Never listening to your emotion would leave you in a dark place I think. We know we are authentic when something ''feels right''.
Also even if you decide to ignore your emotions, you will still act on them unconciously, so it's better to be concious... I learned that the hard way because my mother isn't emotionally intelligent/mature.
@@TheNaishproductions-tn3yb Partially true but it goes a bit deeper than that. It's a part of you that gets annoyed by that person after all and it's you who lets those bad emotions run rampant inside your head. You can of course end the relationship but after doing so you should also do some thorough mental self-examination and try to come out of it as a better person, so that you will be more stable the next time when something similar happens.
Ok. Gotta admit, I admired your "cool man", but, I felt deep appreciation for, and connection to your "warm man". I don't know what that means to feel what it is to be a man, but you've given me new things to think about. Kudos.
"ok, i'll just be like that"
- my brain
Men trying to be the man women want has been the root cause of most masculinity issues. Your character should never be shaped by others needs and wants. If you're going to be caring be caring cause that's who you are. If you want to be emotionless be that because that's who you are. Adjust and grow at your own accord.
I agree !
Knightonagreyhorse definitely agree. Shallow people are the worse to be around in my experience.
Rayres I believe you took everything out of context to vent your rehearsed perspective. Which I really appreciate your perspective. However I don't disagree, I think what you said was what the video was saying to a degree and I loved the videos perspective. The media is a part and women aren't the reason. The issue is men buying into it. Men wanting to be what women want is the issue. That's why we have the "nice guys" who can't handle rejecting because of entitlement issues. The issue is not women wanting certain type of men(which is debatable) because if beautiful women desire let's say thugs then they play a part of enabling the culture. Moral of the story Women are not the issue here.
I see. Your initial discourse sounded like you were implying that this whole "cool man" concept was built solemnly because "that's what women want". In this case, I agree what you said, but I ALSO believe that the problem with "nice guys" is either a. they're self-proclaimed (aka they're NOT nice) b. they victimises trying to blame others for their mistakes (in this case, it's not "me" who is an asshole, but "her" that can't see what a sweet guy I am) and c. there's a toxic cyclic culture of trashing women (they just like shitty men, they're sluts) followed by victimization (I'm nice so they won't want me) which keeps repeating. And the worst part? It affects women (these stupid men will perceive women negatively), mean men (those idiots who perpetuate this lie just so they can feel better themselves) and weak or fragilized men (guys who don't know how to cope with feelings and are seduced by 'it's not me it's them' rhetoric). It's sad, really. Without this concept of "friendzone" and "nice guys" not only friendships could be more genuine but amorous relationship between inexperienced men + women too.
Rayres yup yup and yup. Agree with everything. But I will never negate the fact women have a huge influence on the build of a lot of men. Even a younger me who was told by women I was attracted to that real men weren't so emotional and so nice. Which led me to believe that I must act hard and tough. Wouldn't smile in mirrors or pictures cause it just was perceived to be soft. The opposite of what women wanted. But yes it's not a woman's fault it was definitely my ignorance, lack of self awareness and mental weakness to let someone decide what character I would be. Many men go through that though. But yeah we're on the same page.
That IDR tips tho 😍 love your graphic and content ❤
This video changed my entire perception and life, i really need to thank you for teaching me how to be a man
I love the narrators voice
the warm man is the cool man in the making. it's a psychological stage.
Marvi Rafael Montecillo Not really. It doesn't describe a shift as much as a number of personality traits.
BRo 100%
possibly
Martin Lazo Or grumpy
It's the other way around: the cool man is the warm man in the making IMo
How you describes me so well? I'm delighted. This is a really vídeo that conforts our Souls. Thank you so much
Simply having a vision and going for it relentlessly.
Be a warm man and you will regret, Be a cold man and you will regret
This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.
Mago Tropical Be a balanced warm/cool man and inherit the earth.
This is exactly what I've always tried to explain to potential romantic/sex partners: cool men are utterly off-putting to me. I'm attracted to men who are confident enough in their masculinity to be able to be openly vulnerable. They're not easy to find.
Thats because if he is confident enough to do that, than he doesnt have too many of vulnerabilities to open up in the first place; he is a cool guy. Regular guys (the ones that are easy to find) are as insecure as you can get.
vulnerability is weakness. why do you have to see mens weaknesses? .the only thing you can do with that is use it against us when the relationship goes left. i see being vulnerable as putting a knife on my back that someone can push in whenever they see fit
Ability to understand the very nature of flaws in humans is more a strength than a weakness. It' seems like your perception of what characterizes real strength and integrity is warped.
maybe I misinterpreted what Freya Shipley meant by openly vulnerable. I just don't think its a good idea to trust anyone too much. I know people who have been ruined because they were sharing things that they should have kept to themselves.
This is exactly what she means. A man whose strong in vulnerability is a man whose strong in an area most men are weak in. It is rare.
I really like your content is very thoughtful open a suggestion you should increase the volume of your audio and it would make it much more easier to hear you
thanks man for making vids like these , these do help me, a lot!
If you are interested in ideas regarding manhood feel free to challenge yourself with the videos I share on Mastery Order channel. I share Infos that might help you on your journey of becoming a mature man. All the best to you!
We actually have this exact definition of a "warm guy" in Cantonese (暖男), kudos to you
WAS SHOCKED when the old version of Indonesian money popped out randomly at 3:12
it's cool tho! :D
Iya dong
you mean it's warm tho
Great animations lol, love all this channel’s vids
aww it's truly so great. Concept, & your efforts !!
Loved the video! One thing I strive for is to create the persona of a cool man to acquaintances and the general public but prioritizing the vulnerability and openness of a warm man with intimate friends and family.
A real man doesn't chase after women, he chases after his dreams that way a women will chase after him
Exactly
But he still subconsciously chasing women
Wtf what? Is that how men are thinking nowadays? No wonder women are so angry. This world is fucked really
@@starstar5157 There's no point in chasing anything that has the right to its own self determination. The only things worth chasing are the things that if you do everything right you will get all the time. Women choose based on their own self interests not a mans so what sense does it make for a man to chase a women when it doesnt matter what he wants and she picks based on what she wants. Its much more worthwhile to chase dreams, goals etc. These things are impartial and available to whoever does what they need to achieve them. You can do all the "right" things to get a woman but at the end of the day none of that matters if she decides she wants something else. It's best when no one has to chase anyone. If being anything other than your natural self is not good enough then the other person is not worth it.
"you cool bro?", "Yes I'm warm"
speaking from experience being the cool man draws plenty of acquaintances and so very few true connections with anyone, being the warm man has led to much fewer acquaintances and a handful of true, incredible close, meaningful friendships and an exceptional romantic relationship for nearly a decade now.
I don't love the idea of telling anyone how to be, but being the warm man has been immeasurably better for my life and those around me, and I wouldn't want to be any other way.
The name is Warm... Luke Warm. Licensed to do as little as possible. Double ohhhh. (Yawn)
I actually yawned wtf
Beatrice T hey 🤨
🤣
wtf dude
the warm man needs to chill out
mans not hot
oh winz 😂
El Tio I think there is a difference between being warm and being a pajama boy mangina. I always laugh and my own foibles because I understand how fucking absurd and ridiculous the human condition is. I acknowledge that all humans are fundamentally broken and flawed creatures and that gives me empathy. I have both warm and cool traits. I am actually less of a pussy than some I know who claim to be super masculine cool types. I've seen macho guys scream like little girls over fucking spiders. Not THAT is pussy behavior.
@ChaoticEvilCanary this is truth
The cool man needs to warm up.
For years I have always wondered how to be a man since my father never taught me about it and I still wonder about it.
Watching the video seems to me I am a warm man.
Thank you so much for all your content!!! I really appreciate it!!! You make me a better man!!! :)
A man is passionate about his field of mastery in life.
He has a simple, but grand vision for the future, and have designed the best step-by-step approach of how to get there, the plan might be flawed in different ways, but it is the best designed plan with the wisdom and resources he currently have.
Then he simply gets up every morning with his integrated self-discipline and take the steps needed to reach his vision, without drama or need for approval along the path.
Who are you kidding?
I guess that's a personal philosophy
everyone needs approval. that is just cool - man talk again. :)
Having a penis wouldn’t make you a real man! Pure toxic masculinity.
4 steps to becoming a man.
Step 1: Be as swift as a coursing river.
Step 2: With all the force of a great typhoon.
Step 3: With all the strength of a raging fire.
Step 4: Mysterious as the dark side of the moon.
How to be a man will never mean trying to fit into a box. It doesn't matter if that box is called "cold man", "warm man", "red-pilled" and so on. Boxes limit growth. It takes courage to leave the predefined boxes to the side and venture into the undefined a bit. Each man has his own strengths and weaknesses, qualities and defects, moments of pure genius and moments of extraordinary stupidity.
Being a man means working on your strengths to become useful for the ones around you and at the same time making sure the weaknesses don't mess up things too much. Being a man means keeping your word and creating trust. Being a man means building your character in the right way.
Being a man means being an individual first, instead of trying to fit into a predefined box that is accepted at the moment and may or may not be accepted in the future.
I wish you strength to become part of the best minority group that you can be part of. A group of one with you as the only member.
very wise.
Thank you for making this video.
why not both?
*applause*
ian birchfield Because when cold and warmth colide you get a storm.
Warm air rises and cool air sinks. Put 'em together and you're goin' no where
A storm of awesomeness.
ian birchfield Yes, you hit the nail on the head. Men who are both exist on a higher plane and have very little competition. I am striving to be such a man and to balance my moral and amoral side.
ToniHimself Agreed. People are attracted to storms. They are dangerous and frightening but regal and majestic at the same time.
