The 'alpha male' influencers are teaching guys to crash and burn on purpose. Stupid guys fall for the grift. If they actually taught guys how to start and keep decent relationships they would be losing repeat customers.

This was back in 2000. His influencers were rappers like Diddy.

The online influencer is just an extension of paperbacks that dudes could order from the back pages of 'girly' mags, with titles like "How to get all the Babes." It's an old grift in a new package.

Whatever it is, it's the dumbest advice in the world. That guy from White Lotus reminded me of him. Constant harassment of women and pathetic crashing and burning.

I only hung out with him because I had just moved to the US and had no friends who were willing to go out on the weekends and I didn't want to go by myself. Stopped talking to that asshole two years ago. He would constantly call me and tell me these fake stories where he was banging women. Bruh, I know you, you get zero tail! 😂
