Men Aren't Having Enough Sex - Zack Telander

Using Kyriakos Grizzly’s mantra “for the difficult” and Jack White’s rejection of convenience, they argue that intentionally making tasks harder (e.g., using unreliable instruments, imposing tight deadlines, choosing tougher training) forces growth, focus, and more meaningful output.

They contrast constant content output with figures like David Goggins, Jordan Peterson, and the band Tool, noting that infrequent appearances and aloofness can create intrigue—though this only works once you’ve already built credibility and a track record.

Whether in lifting (modeling Klokov or Liu Xiaojun), investing (Warren Buffett), or music (Maynard Keenan), copying top performers’ current habits ignores the long apprenticeship that got them there; instead, emulate people one or two levels ahead and the early-stage behaviors of your heroes.

They point out that the televised Depp–Heard trial became a global spectacle while the Ghislaine Maxwell trial ran quietly with no cameras, suggesting public attention is steered toward Hollywood gossip rather than systemic elite misconduct.

While culture focuses on protecting women from body-shaming, they highlight how men face extreme physique standards (e.g., shredded male underwear models vs. diverse female models) and note that much slut‑shaming, anti‑abortion rhetoric, and appearance-policing actually comes from women toward women, and men toward men.
