Stop being a "good boy..."

... start being your own man

Alright, mate,

Time for some straight talk.

Stop being a "good boy."

Being a "good boy" is something we learn to do as kids to cope with the threat of abandonment.

But as an adult, it holds us back by:

Making you less attractive.
Inviting disrespect from others.
Putting you in the "friend zone" with women.
Locking you into an unfulfilling life where you're always trying to keep others happy.

Why?

Because you’re not living for yourself.

You’re playing hide and seek with the world—hiding your real self and hoping people like the version you show them.

To live your own life means risking disapproval. It means being okay with offending, upsetting, or even being disliked by others.

That’s real freedom.

It’s the kind of boldness men respect and women find irresistibly attractive.

So, what’s it going to be?

Another 40+ years walking on eggshells, avoiding conflict, and sacrificing your own happiness?

Or a life that’s wild, free, and unapologetically yours—where you attract people who love you for you?

Here’s the truth:

Everyone is a chaotic mix of joy, fear, sadness, anger, contradictions, and everything in between.

You can’t control what people think of you, so stop trying.

Step out of the prison of seeking approval.

Start being your own man.

As the Roman playwright Terence put it:

"Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto."

"I am human, and nothing human is alien to me."

If you’re ready to stop living in fear of what others think, it’s time to act.

No more "good boy."

It’s time to be your own man.
