finally an optimistic yet moving piece on the male loneliness epidemic, which imo has largely been ignored. worthwhile (long) read about this dude ranch retreat that combines the cowboy lifestyle with empathy training for men to learn applied emotional intelligence. thoughts? gq.com/story/confident-man-ranch-profile

The theme reminds me tangentially of a great episode of Fleabag (Season 1, Episode 4). Phoebe is at an all-women silent retreat.

We need to reclaim the definition of healthy men as "warrior poets": men who create culture and love others well...but are also willing and able to fight for the culture they've created.

Honestly teared up at some parts. In a way it’s “You’re Kenough” branded so it can actually break through to men that would never watch the Barbie movie. The confident man shtick probably feels cringe to online + younger people, but I think it’s unironic modernist presentation is perfect for…

hot take as a minority born in the US on the other side of 50, partnered to the same person for over half that time - this reads as a midlife crisis (I may be just projecting) wasn’t this the unspoken trade off of privilege - now marketed as toxic masculinity hard to see past the cis white male gaze
