Only the best advice for men on the web. Nothing less.
MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) is a loosely-knit movement that certainly draws a fair amount of criticism. It concerns men withdrawing from the sexual marketplace to pursue their own lives, independent of pressure to pickup girls, get laid, or get married.Continue Reading
Can you put serendipity in a bottle?
Developers of the new Happn app believe it’s possible. Banking on the Tinderr dating app craze, Happn has created a very different approach (literally speaking).Continue Reading
Traditionally, men are taught by their elders how to be a gentleman. This brings to mind various nostalgic early 20th century ideas of opening doors, practicing some form of chivalry, and being a polite, well-rounded man.Continue Reading
Alpha male is a popular buzzword these days (I even wrote a book dissecting the topic). However, let’s be clear that alpha behavior has little in common with overly-macho, aggressive or insecure attitudes. The very concept of “alpha” is also shaky.Continue Reading
Editor’s Note: On Developed Man, I’ve tried to focus on self-development and avoid the fiery debate across the Manosphere and men’s rights sites that point the finger at “feminism” as being responsible for men’s problems.Continue Reading
What does it take to be a good man? A lot of things, but most importantly it’s about avoiding certain behaviors that harm you.
There’s a natural human tendency to create a false equation. It’s like an error in our operating systems; a mental glitch that was never fixed by nature. It goes: observation = generalization.Continue Reading
I don’t think anybody likes the term “PUA” (pickup artist) anymore because it’s ridiculous. But, I still see guys using PUA principles in an effort to become better men or cure long romantic dry spells.Continue Reading
Hello, Developed Man readers,
My friend (and contributor to our sister site, Developed Life), Arturo has undertaken a project that involves exploring cultural differences in dating standards. This will be done through a funny YouTube series that will debut late this year: American Love in Prague.
For years, a well-known secret has been that lonely guys move toward regions like central or east Europe to level the dating game to their favor. Countless stories are abound that feature guys who have found beautiful romantic partners in distant countries.
There are a lot of theories for why this is (many of which I outline in a booklet I recently wrote, Global Dating), but it seems to be that the dating arena in the United States is, no matter how you slice it or how much “game” you try to learn, always going to be somewhat flawed.
The YouTube show will satirically explore what it takes for American expats to become Czech Republic bachelors; looking for love in a city renown for beautiful women.
Arturo is looking for American guys aged 18-30 to participate; you must be down to go to Prague, to not be camera shy, and down to participate in a fun project (and maybe meet some lovely ladies in the process). Digital nomads and lifestyle designers who like to roam are always a welcome addition; as you could make this a stop along your travels. Shooting is scheduled for this fall through winter.
To apply, leave a comment on this thread, e-mail me or just contact Arturo directly by liking the American Love in Prague Facebook page and leaving a comment or sending a message.
First of all, I have no idea who this is a picture of. He was on the Wikimedia creative commons page for the keyword “arrogant” and he definitely looks the part. However, I have to offer my utmost apologies to whoever this guy is who I just made into the personification of a “bragger”.Continue Reading
I promised I would write about approach anxiety one of these days. So, we’ve finally arrived at that point. This term is rooted squarely in the rise of the seduction and “advice for meeting girls” community; but may have existed before then in the world of cold-sales.
Let’s face it, the world is kind of a shitty place sometimes. And, the reason is largely because of the people who inhabit it. Fortunately, there’s good news: a few personality changes and philosophical reconsiderations can create a new chapter for any man; immediately creating a brighter future for everybody.Continue Reading
Every man must learn how to behave around the most beautiful women in the world. This is easily where the majority of guys fall short, and we desperately need some education on this matter. Continue Reading
In the context of dating, relationships and seduction, the common problem I help guys with is poor calibration. In fact, the majority of problems can be traced to this core issue. Whether coming on too strong, or being too weak, both extremes can hinder your social life unless you are aware of the symptoms of such behavior. Today, we’ll talk about the danger of pushing too hard.Continue Reading
The funny thing about learning how to succeed with the ladies is that our memory recognition is extremely bad. My theory is that it relates to left-brain, right-brain relations.Continue Reading
I’m convinced “game” is good for men. When people spend long hiatuses, whether from dry spells due to a work schedule, or a failed relationship that leaves one feeling depressed and unmotivated, then guys experience a lot of bad effects.Continue Reading
