    E128 - Powerful Life Hacks For Men To Become Dangerous, Free & Unforgettable (unfiltered)

    » Produced by Hack You Media: pioneering a new category of content at the intersection of health performance, entrepreneurship & cognitive optimisation.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hackyoumedia/Website: https://hackyou.media/ Richard Cooper (Entrepreneur in Cars) is a men's coach who helps guys navigate relationships after getting destroyed by his own divorce, and this conversation breaks down why the nice guy strategy fails, how women punish you for giving them everything they ask for, and why successful men throughout history never committed to sexual exclusivity. Richard explains the fundamental disconnect—women demand full commitment, including sexual monogamy, but when you give them the complete package, they often lose interest and punish you. Learn why 43% of North American kids are raised in single-parent households producing boss girls and weak beta males, how daddy issues create women who don't value masculinity, and why tattoos are the most criticised red flag. The harsh reality: paying attention to behaviour versus what people say applies universally in relationships and business. 00:00 Introduction02:00 First impressions of Dubai and why he’s exploring relocation04:26 Why modern dating is a minefield for young men08:52 The concept of ‘beta-tization’ through small daily concessions11:39 Should couples live together or live separately long-term?18:06 The idea that commitment and exclusivity aren’t always linked21:49 How the legal system punishes men after breakups27:39 Why modern marriage is a raw deal for most men31:44 Navigating love and ambition when building a business37:14 Social media as a threat to relationship stability40:59 How young men should focus on building long-term value45:08 Tattoos, trauma, and the markers of red flags50:48 Green flags and the women who nurture, not demand52:19 Where to find high-quality women—and why the West struggles58:53 Expectations, disappointment, and better understanding women01:05:46 The risks of fatherhood and how to vet properly » Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/» Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/» My clothing brand, THRST - https://thrstofficial.com» Custom Bioniq supplements: https://www.bioniq.com/mikethurston • 40% off your first month of Bioniq GO • 20% off your first month of Bioniq PRO » Join our newsletter for actionable insights from every episode: https://thrst-letter.beehiiv.com/ » Join Whoop and get your first month for free - join.whoop.com/FirstThingsThrst » Follow RichardInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_unplugged_alpha/?hl=enBooks: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00D4NYPAG?ccs_id=cae3e395-4020-4c99-ac68-456648f0baeb
