0:00 Hi guys, I'm going to be reviewing a video called Five Common Lies That Are Keeping Men Weak by Gent Z.

[video] 0:06 You have been lied to. So have I. And so has almost every man alive. Lied to. I can agree with that. By your teachers. Lied to by your parents. And lied to by the media. Now, these lies weren't necessarily meant to harm you. In fact, they might have been meant...

0:21 Yes, your parents don't necessarily mean bad. Most of the time, of course, not. It's just that they are ignorant, misinformed.

[video] 0:29 To protect you, to make you feel better, in today's video, I'm going to tell you five of the biggest lies that are keeping men like us weak. And I will tell you how to overcome this lie so that you can reach your true potential.

0:44 Creating a generation of gentlemen. Gentlemen. kind of goes against the nature of men, doesn't it?

[video] 0:55 Hello, my name is James and I'm on a mission to create a generation of gentlemen. Here is the first lie that's keeping men weak. Life isn't a competition. That is a lie. Everything in life...

1:05 I've never met anybody who believes that life is not a competition. That's just the very nature of this reality. ...is a competition.

[video] 1:13 In your career, you're competing against other men and women for the best job. You're competing against other buyers and...

1:19 Who cares what you do as a slave in the system? All that matters is how life is naturally supposed to be and life is a competition. It's like a battlefield because It's filled with animals killing other animals and then they consume their life. And by being healthy and fertile, they create new life forms. And the best ones, the best developed animals, the strongest, most intelligent ones, which usually goes hand in hand, are the ones that dominate. Not so much in the system anymore, but that's a different story.

[video] 1:58 Renters for the nice house or the apartment. You're even competing for the best wife or partner that can give you the family you want. Society has somehow managed to act like competition isn't necessary, like it's unnatural. But competition is the most natural, biologically important.

2:14 Oh, okay, yeah. We can agree on something else also. ...behavior of all.

[video] 2:19 Men have always competed for survival, for resources, and for mates. It's an inherent part of living and being a man. The modern reality of this biological truth is that whether you want to advance your career, improve your fitness, or get a new partner, everything is a competition. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing, because competition pushes you to be a better version of yourself. If life weren't a competition, there would be no benefit to...

2:42 I sort of agree, except that when it comes to finding a mate, for example, if you're really bad looking, then of course you're not going to be good looking. Maybe you can somehow improve yourself to be average looking. Well, maybe with a lot of surgeries, which is a modern invention, naturally your fate would be

[video] 3:11 peep i'm not gonna say on youtube working hard there would be no benefit to improving yourself but we all know that's not true so even though your teachers and your parents told you not to be so competitive the truth is it's actually one of your biggest advantages whether it's a lover a house or a job you are in competition with everyone about everything you want but it's also healthy to be in competition with yourself not only should you compare yourself to others but also compare yourself to who you were previously for example If you go to the gym as a newbie, it might be somewhat counterproductive to try and compete with the experienced bodybuilder next to you. To compete with your previous lift, that's much more productive. However, it's still a form of competition.

3:49 Well, it's not productive anyway. You're not producing anything when you go to a gym. You're just keeping up an unnatural physique, which you can only maintain by overeating and by going to the gym three, four times a week. Because if you don't, your body goes back to its natural state.

4:11 It's just dumb when you look at it.

4:15 From a so-called natural perspective, when you look at it and see it for what it really is, you maintaining an unnatural physique, why do you think your body goes back to its normal state if you skip the gym even a few weeks? The muscle mass already goes down because you're keeping it up unnaturally.

[video] 4:36 Totally stupid. Again, unproductive. Just running for no reason.

5:03 Reducing your lifespan, stressing your body. Same as going to the gym. You overeat, you stress yourself. You lift metal, you stress yourself. That's just dumb. That's not a competition. You're competing with other slaves. Who's gonna die quicker?

[video] 5:20 Good shape. But I was sitting there talking with him thinking, wow, this guy can run a marathon. I'd probably struggle to run 5K.

5:26 That feeling... That's good because it's unnatural. You're not supposed to run 5K or 1K. ...of inadequacy actually... Humans are sprinters, by the way. That's true. We would sprint and then throw for a very short period. Humans are horrible at running. We're the worst runners on earth. I wouldn't be surprised if a turtle would beat us.

[video] 5:45 You can't improve your cardiovascular fitness by enlarging your heart and stressing it. That leads to heart failure, mate.

6:02 You only ruin your cardiovascular system by running because it's unnatural. Yeah, your previous self is a slave, you're even more of a slave now because you run more. Now get to the stage of being a natural human as much as you can be and stop running for no reason like a loser.

[video] 6:25 It's wrong, but not in the sense that he will probably say it. He will probably say that you can improve, which you can in some ways, but not overall really. If your mother told you that you are fine the way you are, even though

6:50 you clearly see that you're not fine, then you can of course know that she was lying to you, okay, somewhat understandable, she doesn't want to hurt you, but then again, you get hurt even more when people lie to you and make you delusional about your own looks, for example, can also be other stuff.

[video] 7:10 ...illusional and damaging as believing life is not a competition. So when you were told this myth as a little boy, you're fine just as you are, obviously they didn't mean it because you had to grow up and become a man. Today, we encourage complacency in society by telling men they don't need to change, they don't need to grow. And I think this lie is particularly prevalent because it gives the people that use it a sense of comfort. I'm fine just as I am. That's why I don't need to make an effort. That's why I don't need to improve. Anybody who's doing that is toxic. But this damaging...

7:38 Yeah, it's all cool, sort of. But again, you can't really improve that much when it comes to finding a mate. You need to be attractive. And if you want an attractive mate, you need to be attractive yourself. And if you're not, you're just naturally development-wise, let's just say, not really that fine. That's why... They say he looks fine. You don't necessarily say that to girls, she looks fine. But yeah, you say that to guys, you mean that they are handsome. And then you are fine. And then people want you.

[video] 8:18 Lie keeps men stuck in mediocrity. Take the example of David Goggins.

8:23 His story is so interesting because he began... Oh my God, that used to be David Goggins? Jesus, that guy is nuts. David Goggins is actually insane.

[video] 8:36 As a 300 pound bug exterminator. Really, by many people's accounts, he would be a bit of a loser.

8:44 Now imagine if he had... He's the biggest loser on earth, man. He runs for no reason and destroyed his health. He's super depressed. There's no bigger loser on this earth.

[video] 8:55 ...believed the lie that he was fine just as he was. He never would have undergone this period of radical, inspiring... And so he's halfway in a wheelchair now.

9:06 What's so cool about it? He has a... an athlete's heart, as they say. It's a disease.

9:18 That's what happens when you stretch out your heart non-stop. It's because your cardiac output is insane. David Goggins will die from heart failure, if not something else. But that's guaranteed. If something else doesn't hit him, his heart will fail. Probably pretty soon. Could be a few years. If he continues this, it's over.

[video] 9:45 transformation to become a navy seal and one of the most inspiring men on the planet yeah and navy seals are the slaves ah whatever not even gonna get into that in your life there must be things that you don't accept as they are you are determined to change and improve them for you it's not okay to stay exactly as you are you must keep growing so for some people it is

10:09 Some good looking tall guys out there. Why would they not stay the way they are? What else do they need? Nothing. It's all cool. Life fulfilled. Easy mode.

[video] 10:21 There's no such thing as fitness. You can only adapt to something specific. You can only be fit.

10:38 to run, to lift metal. There's no such thing as fitness. And if anything, it would mean that you're simply healthy. That would be a fit human being. But the term makes no sense.

[video] 10:50 Some personal relationships.

[video] 10:55 life. And everybody must adapt to the mindset that you always have to evolve. Nobody is ever fine just as they are. Even if you look at somebody who is out... What?

11:05 Is Brad Pitt not fine the way he is? What should he improve exactly? Can't think of anything.

[video] 11:15 Very successful, has lots of money, great physique. Maybe they need to do some internal work. Everybody who is growth-oriented will always see that they have new goals to accomplish. However, there is a difference between dissatisfaction and...

11:26 The internal work that needs to be done is oftentimes based on your looks. It defines your life. You're good-looking, you're tall, you go through life easily and That's how you will be on the inside. He's probably talking about your so-called mental state. You'll be confident. You will know exactly what you want in life. It just comes naturally. And a lot of these issues on the inside will be caused by you experiencing...

12:05 Rejections, for example, not in relationships only, even the appointment you went to, the way they treated you, you'll just be treated completely differently in life depending on how you look like. Sure, everybody can experience some kind of trauma, it doesn't matter how you look like, but a lot of it is based on that also.

[video] 12:24 self-loathing. Just because you see areas for improvement doesn't mean you need to hate yourself or have low self-esteem. Your need to get better does not undermine your worthiness of love. In fact, you should have so much love for yourself and so much pride that you see you need to get better. Treat yourself like somebody you love. You're not fine as you are, nor am I, and that's

12:44 Yeah, it's all cool. It's just that you can't grow everything. Some guy who feels like he's too short cannot simply grow. I know that he's talking about something else, but let's stick to the real natural issues of a man. That's what people want in the first place. They want to be Tall, good looking and strong, which really comes with height. Somebody who is tall, and especially if they're big boned, is not gonna feel weak. You're talking about going to the gym and earning money, and this is not really actually what naturally defines a man, man. At all, really.

[video] 13:25 It is my least favorite of all, and I think it's so deep-rooted in our culture. The lie is, enjoy the weekend. Thank God it's Friday. From a young age, we are indoctrinated.

13:34 There's no days in nature. There's no weeks, months, years. Think about why there's 60 seconds in a minute and blah blah blah. 666. Who created time? Time doesn't even exist, it's just in your head. Who created this system? Think about it. If you're some slave who thinks about the weekend, Or you're some slave who says work in the weekend, which is probably something that he's gonna say. What does it matter? You're both slaves. You don't get that you've been enslaved by nonexistent time. It's like a cage in your head. Get out of it. Who gives a fuck if it's Monday, Friday, whatever? You should be working anyway, ideally.

[video] 14:25 To believe that the week is to be suffered through and that the weekend is a time to switch off and enjoy hedonistic

14:33 Yeah, if you're a slave, of course, and it's not hedonistic because it doesn't give you any pleasure or joy. I know what he's talking about, drinking and sleeping with women or whatever. It's all garbage anyway. Yeah, the sleeping with women may be pleasurable in the moment, but you don't produce any children. You protect yourself from the biggest happiness, which are children. It's all fake. It's nonsense anyway. And then you go back to work. That's a slave's life. It's all garbage. Stop it.

[video] 15:01 pleasures society glorifies the weekend as an escape from work but what that really does is hugely limit your potential most people completely waste the weekend they throw away two days out of seven that could be used to get closer to their personal goals and this mindset of tgif encourages living for temporary pleasure temporary relief on the weekend rather than focus

15:24 None of the displeasure, you don't know what you're talking about.

[video] 15:27 Oh, but women love dad bods. This is a lie that both women tell men and men tell themselves.

15:34 No, it's that if somebody is facially good looking and they also have a good height, then they won't mind the so-called dad bod. Of course, humans in nature don't look like that. It's just that if you're bad looking in the face and you're also somewhat short,

15:56 Whether you go to the gym or have a dad, it's just not gonna really matter.

16:05 Obviously, the rest of your body matters. It's the same for women. But there's also simply more important features. And usually, the rest of your body is somewhat overlooked. It depends. It can be super horrible, obviously. But it's just that if you're not attractive, going to the gym, which is probably, again, what he's implying, is not gonna define the way women look at you.

[video] 16:38 It's really a coping mechanism. Yes, some women prefer a dad bod because they are insecure that if their man gets in good shape, they will find somebody else and leave them.

16:49 Nah, man. Come on, man. If you're together with some average guy and he goes to the gym, you think that women are gonna be after him? I mean... He will leave you? You think that that's what women are afraid of? Come on, man, that's delusional, man. What coping are you talking about?

[video] 17:03 You absolutely need to avoid insecure women like this because they will hold you back on your journey to greatness. But this lie is particularly damaging because it's actually encouraging men and allowing them to feel like it's okay to neglect their health.

17:16 Not only is a dad bod bad for your health and can shorten your life... Yeah, but you can only have a so-called dad bod if you eat a garbage diet. That's what you should be focused on, the food that you eat. Not going to the gym and eating seeds and vegetables like a slave. You're still gonna be unhealthy, you're gonna have a more toned body, but that's just because you're trying to Work around your horrible diet.

[video] 17:48 That's it span, but it's also going to reduce your confidence and self-esteem Why wouldn't you want to look like the best version of you?

17:54 And we know that women don't actually prefer a dad bod because all of the guys that they thirst over have six-pack abs and incredible No, they thirst over Ryan Gosling because he's facially attractive show me one girl thirsting over some guy With even an average face, not even talking about actually so-called bad looking guys who have a ripped body, whatever.

18:22 Where is this? I have never seen that in my life. They use Hollywood actors, models with these bodies, they work out and it looks in some cases pretty good, but they're only attracted to them because of their face. Come on. How do you not get this?

[video] 18:42 Well, muscle definition. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Both men and women alike prefer physical traits that are indicators of good health. And for a man, that's a lower body fat percentage and visible muscles. So I want you to reject.

18:54 Lower, I'll agree with that. Not actually low, that doesn't look good. Visible muscles, yeah, okay. But...

19:05 Not the kind of muscles that you get from going to the gym for years. That's just over the top. Nobody needs that. And no girl is looking out for that. Yeah, you need to have muscles as a man, naturally anyway. If you have high testosterone, from that alone you will have muscles.

[video] 19:20 Everything is okay in moderation.

19:21 That's true if you want to have a moderately successful... Yeah, I agree with him that it's stupid to say that... I will see what he says.

[video] 19:31 And everybody who told you this, whether it was your teachers or your parents, had moderate levels of success too. You will never find a wildly successful person, whether it's in business or personal fitness, tell you everything is okay in moderation. The truth is, people are intimidated by a man who has such a strong mind.

19:48 Hey, uh, the... Guy, 2 out of 10.

[video] 20:11 it was okay for the average 26-year-old single guy. And I decided that I didn't want average outcomes and I can't engage in average behavior. The same goes for consuming moderate amounts of junk food, playing moderate amounts of video games, or watching moderate amounts of pornography. It doesn't mean you can't ever do those things, I'm not saying that, but you don't want to make it

20:31 You shouldn't do that. Yeah. Because it's not good for you in general. Then just don't do it at all.

[video] 20:38 A part of your balanced lifestyle.

20:41 Because mo- Oh, stupid. It's the same as a balanced diet. It's garbage. Come on, man. You eat some meat, which is actually the only good part of your diet, but then you also eat grains, vegetables, which is all bad for you. That's a balanced diet. You put in all kinds of garbage together with the good food. Or you live a somewhat natural life, like that guy that I reviewed who wanted to live to 150. But then you also do push-ups, go and do cold plunges, eat carcinogenic bananas. You mix in natural stuff together with unnatural garbage, which will destroy your life. But that would be a moderately healthy life or whatever nonsense these people believe.

[video] 21:30 Moderation often becomes an excuse for inaction. I didn't work out today because I wanted to play my video games. I didn't get to speak with

21:38 Yeah, and? That's better. It's better to play video games than to work out. Obviously. I'm not recommending video games in any way at all. It's total loser stuff, but I'm just saying. If anything, it would be a million times better, because it's healthier.

[video] 21:53 The second lie is that you're fine just the way you are. This is used by weak people who don't want to see others improve. The third lie is that you must enjoy the weekend. The weekend should not be an escape. It's an opportunity to reset and improve different areas of your life. The fourth lie is that women prefer dad bods. It's an excuse used by insecure men and women alike. There are few things more powerful and more impressive.

22:13 Also, I should add to this. A lot of times people in interviews will be shown these dad bods and then guys who really work out some are on steroids, and then they will compare them, and the women will say, I prefer the dad bod. And they just don't get that in comparison to these guys who work out like crazy, who have super unnatural bodies, which are obese bodies by definition, the dad bod actually looks better. They cannot comprehend it, because it makes no sense to them. They don't get how unattractive such a body is, that it's way more unattractive than the so-called dad bod, because it's at least not that overweight, obese. They just don't get how you look like when you look so unnatural. It's just that the dad bod is closer to nature. It's also not good, but they just don't get the comparison at all.

23:09 If you would compare it to somebody who has a natural, normal physique, then of course all of the women would choose that guy.

[video] 23:16 than a healthy physique. And the fifth and final lie is that everything is okay in moderation. That is only true if you decide to accept a moderately successful life. That's why I created my online communities, The Gentleman's Lobby and The Gentleman's Lobby.

23:28 The Gentleman's Lobby. Yeah, okay. All of these business guys, it's just funny. Yeah, why not? I guess if people fall for it, yeah.

[video] 23:38 I encourage you to get started in the Gentleman's Lobby.

23:41 This is a free community where you can meet nearly two... Oh, but you probably have to pay for something, right?

[video] 23:48 ...thousands of men all over the world who are focused on improving themselves in a gentlemanly way. And to help you on your journey within the community, you will find a free self-improvement course that I've created called The Gentleman Method. This is a two-hour video course with many important action points. And I won't be posting this course on YouTube. You can...

24:06 And then there's maybe more that you have to pay for. Yeah, but it's good. You can join for free. You can watch the video for free. Okay, okay.

[video] 24:15 Only access it by joining the free community. The link is down there in the description to take advantage of this. And I look forward to welcoming you to the community very soon. Remember, sometimes lies and myths feel more comfortable than the truth. But only the truth will enable you to achieve greatness and be the man that you want to be. Thank you for watching.

24:31 Yeah, only the truth will enable you to achieve greatness. It's just that what he means by truth is that you need to get a good job and go to the gym, I guess. There's probably more that he, of course, teaches in his two-hour video in the community, but... It's just not a natural man's life. A natural man's life is based on him hunting and you become healthy, you're fertile, you feed your family and produce more and more children. Then you teach them how to hunt and you live a great life. That's greatness. The very definition of it, there's nothing greater than what I just described. You just chill, have fun, play.

25:31 Yes, there's of course the competition between you and other men, other animals. Obviously, we are just removed from this, which is why we end up competing with other men for the best job. We still compete for women, it would be a bit different in nature, but close enough.

25:56 And for who will get the best seat in a car or something stupid, just what slaves do, whatever kind of garbage. Because we're just so removed from reality that we just try to imitate somehow naturally what we want to do.

26:12 Of course, we don't want to get some stupid job or compete for who's gonna have more money. It means nothing. Nobody actually gives a fuck about any of that. It's just that we have this drive to compete, which is why we want to imitate it. We really want to hunt, but we are not allowed to. Which is why we do something else. And even if you're allowed to, you're probably just too brainwashed to do it. There's a lot more that I could add to this, which I won't on YouTube, obviously. I can't really describe an actual natural life on YouTube, which is funny and messed up that you can't even talk about it.

26:53 I don't even think that any of his advice would really help any man out there. Maybe somewhat in some way. Yeah, focus on this and that. The mental ideas, so to speak, are somewhat correct, but then the purpose of improving, which you can't for the most part anyway, is to get a better job.

27:24 What's the point of any of that? You can improve if you eat raw meat, but that's also when your mental state changes. The people who have told me that their actual mental state changed are the people who started eating raw meat. Because that really changes you. Because it changes you biochemically. It literally changes your brain. You don't even need to watch any courses or learn anything. These grain eaters, slaves, will watch this and maybe in some way, somehow they can improve. Okay. Which they will then use to get a better job, which is pointless anyway. But if you actually change yourself biologically, then the way you look at life, your outlook, even confidence, because of testosterone alone, will of course change. You would just change as a man altogether and as a woman of course also.

28:23 You will right away want to have children all of a sudden. All of your life you thought, now children are expensive, whatever kind of lies you get told. And now I just want children. Starts eating raw meat, fat, liver. I want children, I want 10 children, literally and that's how it is for people and all kinds of other stuff because you just change as a human being because most humans on earth are slaves biochemically because of the food alone. The food makes you a slave and then you start eating raw meat. You change as a human and you become an actual man. You can't eat grains, seeds and then Expect to become a man. He said that you should improve your diet, but realistically, what does he mean by that? Eat lean meat with rice and broccoli. Yeah. Thanks for watching.
