  1. Nothing says manliness more than wearing a dress whilst worshiping a naked guy

  2. HAHAHAHAHA oh my god. Guys. Guys. Within bicycling distance of you is a fight gym. Boxing / kickboxing / MMA. You can just go there this afternoon and have a fight with a grown fucking man. In fact, you can have a fist fight with many grown men as you all swap partners every round. You do not need to join a fucking Russian church to pretend we still hunt the mammoth or whatever the fuck you think masculinity is lmao

  3. Is that Christian equivalent of Hustlers University lol?

    Christ that insecurity baffles me

  4. They’re so pathetic lol, they do need to be taught how to be a real man but not by these fucking grifters. Being a man is about being confident in who you are, not being so terrified of being feminine that you’re scared of soup.

  5. What’s he got against soup?

    Some people are so easily led.

  6. It’s kind of sad how a lot of guys fall for this stuff.

  9. Society needs to raise boys better, I keep saying it. Yes, give them space to be messy and dirty and loud and energetic (obviously true for girls as well), but also yes, keep them in check the way we do with girls. I’m not saying there aren’t toxic elements to the nurturing of girls, but let’s be absolutely real here – there’s a reason why it’s mostly girls who are trusted to be, say, babysitters, and not boys, and it’s not just draconian gender role perception but also the literal fact that girls are raised to be more responsible and to be able to do more tasks than boys, who mum always has to clean up after and provide for.

    Maybe if we raised our boys the same way, they’d be smart enough not to see Fight Club as a visual bible of sorts and worship at the altar of absolute cunts like Tate and Peterson.

  10. What’s an “absurd level of manliness”?

    Are they gonna grow muscles on their muscles?

    This sounds like some andrew tate shit.

  12. It’s so sad that so many young men have failed to grow up and gravitate to anyone offering to teach them to be a man.

    You know what’s masculine? Not needing a surrogate daddy to teach you to be a ~~paypig~~ man

  13. Here’s a thought: If you feel that you lack (or need more) “manliness” and you go seeking to get it somewhere besides inside yourself, you’ve already lost the battle for more manliness.

  14. So the study… COMES from the OCA… hmmm… sus.

  15. This article is just so weird. Sounds more like making a big thing out of nothing for clicks. 75 in 6 months is hardly worth talking about. 6 thousand likes on instagram is big? I dunno. This article probably serves more to make the “church” known than deliver actual news or info. 

  16. It doesn’t get you a girlfriend either as women for the most part do NOT want to date guys like this.

  17. Everyone is making fun of these guys and for good reason tbh. The elephant in the room tho is how do we reach people like this?

  20. *Skinny jeans, crossing your legs, using an iron, shaping your eyebrows, and even eating soup are among the things he derides as too feminine*

    Noooo not soup 

  21. “THEY’RE NOT MY MUSCLE BOYS DAD, THEY’RE MY MUSCLE MEN!” -all of these guys and also Calvin Gemstone

  22. Someone in the 60s would think America lost the Cold War.

  23. Eating soup is feminine? TIL my broke college student self was a girl by eating soup to safe money. I swear these macho man guys are some of the most fragile and sensitive people I’ve ever seen.

    Also… soup is great. Given rapidly rising BMI’s over the world I’d say we need to lay down the fried and processed stuff and eat soup instead 🫠

  24. If a man needs to feel manliness, he should just be kind to other people.

    That’s the manliest thing I know of.

  25. The Russian Orthodox Church is embedded with the FSB.

    I hope Americans are aware that this is modern day subversion but without the communism.

  26. nothing is gayer than men hung up on manliness and masculinity. its literally gay culture. but whatever. we all know they are gay anyway.

  27. Not US men but republican boys. They will never be men because they will never grow up and understand that being a man is more than acting like some toughguy who shits on everyone around them.

  28. This is unironically one of the gayest things I can imagine, and I’m saying that as a gay man.
