The Genuine Man, Part 7: The Introspective Man

Welcome back to the journey, gentlemen.

So far, we’ve covered:

• How to become arrogant and eradicate fear

• The myth of the heartless player and the risks of arrogance

• How to cultivate humility, sheathe your arrogance, and develop true power

• How to love people, learn from them, and take responsibility for other’s feelings

• How to identify venomous beliefs about women

• How to eradicate those venomous beliefs and truly love women

Now I’m going to teach you the single most important tool in becoming a genuine man.

Introspection.

To make any profitable progress on this path, you gotta inspect that intro. There is no exception to this. I stress the importance of introspection from more than just personal experience; every cool guy I know in my life is extremely reflective and usually quite intelligent (read: you can train intelligence).

For as many constantly improving superstars I know, I can name twenty more guys with amazing intelligence, skills with women, charm, and good looks, who squander their potential. They spend years recycling unproductive mental and behavioral habits that don’t bring them anywhere close to the dreams they’ve told me about. If they instead challenged their own beliefs they would find them inefficient at best, and inhibiting at worst.

Don’t be that guy. Chew on everything I teach you, or anything you read from any other author on this site. The best way I’ve found to truly evaluate an idea?

First, accept it like it’s been bequeathed upon you from the gods of seduction and debauchery.

And then rabidly test its efficiency.

Let’s get concrete.
