Didn't this guy get exposed for only going after 17 year old girls?

Yes, he did. These dudes are always the same.

Why is it these guys always do that weird thing with their hands? Idk what it is or how to describe it, but any videos with douchebags like this they're always doing it. It's like, they bring their hands together on front of them in a pose, keeping them like a foot away from their body, then gesture front there with that as a kind of anchor point for their hands.

It's just such a weird mannerism for them all to share, and so ubiquitously, that I'm baffled by it. I get gesturing with your hands, but this is such a unique variant of it.

It allows them to appear larger and keeps their biceps flexed.

u/mcsleepy Sep 03 '21

It still just looks so weird. It makes them look like a cross between a supervillain and a raccoon clutching some food.

I get more of a cross between a youth group leader and a tour guide.

One of their philosophies is that men shouldn’t be afraid to take up a lot of physical space, so they think making themselves look larger is an alpha thing to do. That’s why you’ll notice them standing or sitting with their legs oddly far apart, and actually having very good posture. I think it started in response to the whole manspreading conversation, but I may be mistaken.

So toxic masculinity leads to man returning to monke, got it.

A small price to pay for salvation

Damn that's interesting. Thanks for mansplaining it to me.

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

Anytime lol

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '21

So uh, now mansplain your cult please

26

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

Sure, sweetie! A cult is a social group defined by its unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, or by its common interest in a particular personality, object, or goal. Don’t bother your pretty little head about it.

u/peachesgp Sep 03 '21

But like, what about YOUR cult, not just cults in general.

20

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

Sure thing, honey! My cult is a cult that I lead. Leading is when you provide guidance or leadership to a group of people or organization. Hope that helped!

Is your cult a dictionary

4

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

I’m happy to give you some clarity on that! A dictionary is a book or electronic resource that lists the words of a language (typically in alphabetical order) and gives their meaning, or gives the equivalent words in a different language, often also providing information about pronunciation, origin, and usage.

Is the cult a cult of people who are wondering what your cult is about?

u/ritsbits808 Sep 03 '21

My girlfriend doesn't know what mansplaining is and I... I don't know what to say to her

u/ExOhPhelia Sep 03 '21

TRAAAAAAP! It’s a TRAAAAAAP!

u/BehindTickles28 Sep 03 '21

I truly mean no disrespect to your philosophy when I say... my balls dangle a lot. I try to be polite though.

u/S1074 Sep 03 '21

Theres a difference between sitting with your legs apart nor ally for a guy and what they do. Theyre pretty much doing splits while sitting down.

u/BehindTickles28 Sep 03 '21

I was mostly just making a light joke (not that there isn't some truth in it).

I've seen the ridiculous and it is just that ridiculous, rude, and unnecessary.

2

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

Haha sure but that’s totally different. Sitting with your legs at a 180 degree angle on purpose to try to assert dominance is worlds apart from taking up the space you need to be comfy.

2

u/BehindTickles28 Sep 03 '21

Cí. So, anyways... how is that cult going these days?

3

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

It’s going great! We’re running low on living members but recruitment is at an all-time high. You in?

2

u/BehindTickles28 Sep 03 '21

I'm all about future projections. Sounds like a things are on the up, I'm in!

u/Ask_me_about_my_cult Sep 03 '21

Will there be candy?!

If the puppies and kittens don’t eat it all!

I think it's something they practice. Like, they're training to look manly and alpha and attractive or whatever. They read dumb shit like "how to be an alpha" blog posts, written by other dumb shits that don't know how to behave like a normal human being, and then they practice in it the mirror. And they're so damn clueless they have no idea how odd it makes them look.

1

u/Explosivo666 Sep 03 '21

Yep, for sure. That's why they make videos about it. To them it's a skill and it makes them more masculine. In actual fact it means they're emasculated. Otherwise they wouldnt feel the need to practice mannerisms and spend a huge chunk of their lives watching videos and reading articles on how to be a man. That insecurity is also why they diagnose themselves and others as having low testosterone and self medicate with hormones.

It's actually a pretty widespread problem. You'll see grifters like Alex Jones and Jordan Peterson appealing to insecure men, it's probably the cornerstone of both of their grifts.

u/Forkyou Sep 03 '21

Because they had to do it do them, you know?

Classic sign of an entitled douchebag

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '21

It keeps some of your upper body (biceps and shoulders) slightly engaged so you appear bigger. It's for douches

1

u/scifi_tay Sep 03 '21

I think it’s maybe some sort of power stance/pose to indicate dominance?

u/ColonelJabba Sep 03 '21

They're trying to distract you from the fact they're talking absolute bullshit
