Masculinity - What They’re Not Telling You. Men no longer understand the way of men and the first job of a man. They’re too far removed from what we evolved to do. Masculinity & Manliness has been bastardized & redefined by feminists, religion, corporations, marketing firms, etc...to mean what each of them thinks a man should be to serve their own interests best. Most of what men are told is centered around being “A Good Man!” Being a “Good Man” is not the same thing as being *good* at *being a man*. A Man that is good at being a man is toxic to feminists, so they’ll be attacked & slandered for the more feminists friendly version of “a good man.” A religion has values that perpetuate the growth of the religion; they have their own version of a “good man.” Corporations will push their own version to market their products & maximize profits. Anyone seeking to understand masculinity & manhood faces a maze of challenges & misinformation. If you managed to stay in a 2 parent household with a positive male role-model, then you’re lucky! If a single-mother raised you, she’s strong in her own right, but not the best equipped to help boys become being good at being a man, or learning the virtues of Men...you’re a loaded weapon with a makeshift safety switch...hope it holds...assuming you're not told masculinity isn’t real, & just a social construct in the first place... Actual Good Men, are *NOT*, nice men! They’re capable of immense violence. The way of Men is the way of the gang. “The Gang” is slang for other Men... These Men are in your tribe, men that you trust, cooperate, & compete with...your brothers. Masculinity is about being a man in a group of men! At its core...masculinity is what Men want from other Men. It’s why we bash on each other, hit each other, and haze each other...we’re seeing where you fit...with the warriors or with the women & children, or frankly, if you’re worthy to be in the gang at all. Men weed out the weak before the real problem is at the front door. Because when shit goes down & men need to stand up to attackers, protect their families, brothers, and property...men want to know that the people in the foxhole with them can handle themselves, know that they will fight for the tribe, and live by Man’s virtues: strength, honor, courage, and mastery (extreme competence) We evolved to hunt, kill, & protect... We’re the perimeter between “US” (the tribe) & “Them” (everything else that poses a threat). On a fundamental level, Men understand this... Men fear, or revere, men who exhibit the manly virtues (as judged by the tribe members)...they’re also the ones that usually get the girls 😂 But ask a man today what a man is; what is manly? He’ll likely relate it to some materialistic garbage...the car or truck he drives, having a beard, or drinking beer & being 25+ lbs overweight. Ask a woman & she’ll list off nice qualities cuz woman and feminists are always trying to change their men...smooth out the edges like you’re a domesticated dog that needs to be housebroken...a “Good-Boy!” (Swap Boy with Man, & that’s what we’ve become...”Good-Man!” Focus on your family & your brothers...your tribe of like-minded individuals. According to Dunbar’s number, our primal brains are wired to care, really care, for up to 150 people max. That is the true limitation of human caring (genuine caring)...everything else is basically bullshit. It’s Media driven hysteria that ramps up your emotions, and you forget about it when the next news cycle happens. When you look up from your place in this world, you’ll find shallow, superficial role models, because America has a sky without Eagles... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/TMTG/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/TMTG/support

TMTG #19 What does it mean to wear your heart on your sleeve? When a person wears their heart on their sleeve they are typically someone that will tell you how they feel about things. More simply put you know where they stand on most given issues. This is mostly a positive virtue that get misunderstood. A person that wears their heart on their sleeve is the opposite of cunning or devious. It can be negative when you do it so much that you are overly emotional. It is important to be emotional when needed because it shows you care but at the same time don’t let your emotions get the best of you. You should never assume that folks are trying to take advantage of you and at the same time be aware of how your openness could be used against you. Don’t over expose yourself and be tactful. Sometimes you need to watch how you say things so you don’t reflect on it and realize you could have said it better. It is important to let people hear what you have to say but think it through before you say it. It is important to have people around you, care about, or in your bubble to vent with. People that are in your circle of trust that you trust to truly wear your heart on your sleeve and be open, honest, and communicate with. It is healthy for you to do this and beneficial on an emotional level. This is part of being in a tribe that is healthy. There are healthy tribes and this is one of the goals of The Man and The G.O.A.T. to create a healthy tribe. There will be more to come on how we plan on creating a Tribe of G.O.A.T.’s. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/TMTG/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/TMTG/support

Podcast #18 We Need Warriors Join our locals community for exclusive content. https://tmntg.locals.com If you are at war, the enemy is at the gates, and the battle is raging what type of man or woman would you want in the foxhole with you. Strong powerful men are what allowed societies to succeed and do some of the more philosophical things, art, or other creative things. We want someone who will fight for the person next to them. Much like Band of Brothers who did heroic things but it wasn’t necessarily for them. They did these things for the person next to them. We don’t really have each others back these days. We are more likely to point something out or throw someone under the bus to look good rather than have each others back. Be a selfless individual. You are part of something bigger than yourself. We need buy into the cause. In America right now a lot of the people you hear or listen to don’t seem to be bought into the cause of America. We are in this thing together. People seem to not be willing to take risks. We want people in battle with us that are willing to take risks. You have to risk it for the biscuit. A lot of people are risk adverse and that might be due to a lack of strong men. Be the person in your household that is not afraid to make it a decision. Make a decision and live with the outcome good or bad. The point is to not be afraid. The founders of America took one of the biggest risks in history. They signed their name to a document that meant certain death if things didn’t work out in their favor. Don’t let other people talk down to you. You are your own person and capable of thinking for yourself. Here at The Man and The G.O.A.T. we are looking to build a Tribe of like minded individuals. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/TMTG/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/TMTG/support

Men these days need to have a good woman.  What does that mean?  Right now in our society a strong woman is someone who supports herself and is a professional in some way.  It's a very selfish image because it's all about her.  What happened to the strong unit or couple?  That's what we need today.  We need women who will be supportive of their man and vice versa.  The last thing you want is for the person sleeping next to you to be your biggest doubter.  Part of the problem with our divorce rate is the media and culture has pushed a wedge between men and women.  It's now a competition between men and women and it shouldn't be.  Especially when you are married or in a committed relationship.  Support each other.  This episode covers this topic and how to make yourself attractive to women among many other things.  Check it out! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/TMTG/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/TMTG/support
