Self help hucksters lose money the second their clients start helping themselves. They will not buy the next book or seminar with the "5 secret tricks to success! This knowledge is worth millions... For only $299.99!"

This is why I respect Roosh so much. He put this forum together, the greatest self help resource ever, with free access. The bulk of his pickup knowledge costs around $40 and he doesn't say "I was wrong, buy my new shit" every year or two.

Self-help books generally give the reader a quick dopamine hit until shortly after putting the book down. That is it.

According to Wikipedia, he married his first wife Becky in 1984. She had three kids from two previous marriages. Not surprisingly, they eventually divorced, in 1998. This is even after he adopted those kids. He also fathered another child with a girl friend. He is married to his second wife now--no kids.

In many respects, he is like the character Hank Rearden in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged. He is red pill in his professional life. He is still totally blue pill when it comes to women.

While he has made a lot of money, we don't have any idea how much he is paying his ex-wife to this day. It could be that all of his money is still going into this rathole. Divorce is the quickest way for a rich man to find himself in the poorhouse.

That being said, if Robbins had a brain, he would have offshored a lot of his money by now. He also would have obtained a second or even a third citizenship. I suspect he hasn't done anything like this though. I suspect he is generally politically correct, so he would never consider something as "unpatriotic" as leaving the "greatest country in the world."

He should be set for life and shouldn't have a worry in the world. I don't understand why these rich guys don't become bolder. He's probably taken on a superficial lifestyle that he doesn't want to lose.

I remember 50 Cent commenting how common this was. Cut-throat businessmen who are totally blue pill towards pussy.

Disappointed Big Tony backed down. He could have been the one to say the Empress Cunt had no clothes.

But big props to old Karl Lagerfeld who did say it!

"I don't believe a single word of it". And, "If you don’t want your pants pulled about, don’t become a model!" Lagerfeld retorted. "Join a nunnery, there’ll always be a place for you in the convent. They’re recruiting even!"

Good on ya, Karl!!

I stumbled on this thread about Tony backing down from his #metoo statements. I have been listening to a lot of his videos on youtube. My phone lets me download the videos and from about the middle of last year, I have been listening to his videos over and over....to brainwash myself into the type of thinking he talks about, that I want to accomplish.

I can attest that there is a blue pill side to him and it is probably pretty deep. But I also know that a lot of the stuff he talks about is true.

Look at the guy that was his mentor: Jim Rohn. Jim gave many speeches on the topics of changing your life. But most of the clips of the speeches your hear of him were to pimp the ponzi scheme Herbalife.

So, what I am trying to say is that you have to take these people with a grain of salt. If some one teaches something and it works for you, but they fuck up once or twice and say some stupid shit. Does that make all of the other things they taught and you found out actually work, invalid? It might be yes for many people....and I used to be one of those people. But do not ignore a lesson, because somebody does not live up to the mental image you projected on them. These famous people are just people.

I am interested in firearms. I see all of these people teach this karate gunfoo John Wick shit on youtube. I know a few people got called out for being fake mall ninjas that were never in the military or special forces. But some people make very good teachers and suck as a practicioner. So, be open to different schools of thought. If the person has legitimate material, learn from it.


Do not put people on a pedestal, especially when you do not hold yourself to those same standards.
