    Dating Apps Are Rigged (Here’s How to Win Anyway)

    Dating apps promised unlimited options, but somehow men are having fewer relationships, less sex, and more loneliness than ever. In this episode, Rich and Justin break down the real reason dating apps feel dead and why the “more swipes = more success” mindset is a trap. We talk about how these apps gamify your confidence, turn attention into cheap dopamine, and keep you paying for boosts, roses, and premium subscriptions that rarely fix the real problem. We also get brutally honest about the dating marketplace, why “low interest” is the clearest signal you keep ignoring, and how to stop tying your self worth to matches and response times. Then we give the counter-strategy that actually works: build a real life pipeline. How to screen smarter (yes, FaceTime first), how to stop chasing the wrong women, how to get outside without being fake, and how to build a world that makes you more attractive without begging for attention. Dating apps are a necessary evil. But if you live on them, they will cook your confidence. Subscribe to Failures and share this with a friend who’s stuck in swipe purgatory.

    The “Misunderstood” Trap (Why It’s Making Men Lonely)

    Feeling misunderstood isn’t just “in your head.” It’s one of the fastest roads to isolation, resentment, and male loneliness. In this episode, Rich and J break down why being close to someone doesn’t automatically mean they understand you, and why a lot of men accidentally build an identity around being the “mystery guy,” then complain that no one gets them. We talk about the real cause behind most “misunderstood” pain: you’re evolving, but your family (and even your partner) still sees the old version of you. And if you don’t learn how to translate yourself, you’ll keep living in the same loop, silent, angry, and alone. Failures: The Podcast 2025 We're not gods. We're not gurus.

    Dream Killers: Why Most Men Quietly Quit on Their Dreams

    Most men don’t quit on their dreams because they failed.  They quit because life got comfortable… and the people around them meant well. In this episode of Failures, Rich and Justin break down the idea of well-intended dream killers — the family, friends, and voices that slowly push you toward safety, stability, and “being realistic.” We talk about: Why dreams rarely die from failure — and almost always die from comfortHow quiet quitting happens without you even noticingThe danger of “be realistic” adviceWhy most men dread their commute but never talk about itHow adult responsibilities, fear, and outside opinions slowly erase ambitionWhen realism is necessary — and when it’s just settlingThis episode is for anyone who feels stuck, unmotivated, or haunted by the thought that they were meant for more — but life got in the way. You didn’t give up.  You slowly let go. 🎙 Failures is a raw, no-fluff podcast about the mistakes, setbacks, and uncomfortable truths that shape strong men. Failures: The Podcast 2025 We're not gods.

The quiet identity crisis where men shape-shift personalities, opinions, and behaviors just to be liked, accepted, or validated. From being the “smartest guy in the room,” to the loud overcompensator, to the guy who tries too hard to impress women, this episode explores how approval-seeking slowly destroys confidence, respect, and self-identity.

    Turning Male Jealousy Into Fuel For Progress

    Most men don’t hate other men. They hate the version of themselves they haven’t become yet. In this episode of Failures, Rich and Justin break down the silent crisis of male jealousy — the kind that shows up when another man has more money, more confidence, better relationships, a stronger physique, or a life that feels further ahead. Instead of calling jealousy “toxic,” we reframe it for what it really is:  information, pressure, and unrealized potential. You’ll learn: Why men are wired to compete (and why denying it makes things worse)The difference between resentful jealousy and healthy competitionHow comparison turns dangerous when you don’t pick a laneWhy social media amplifies envy and kills motivationHow to build an internal scorecard instead of living off external validationWhy the most dangerous man isn’t the competitor — it’s the observer who never actsThis episode is for the man who feels behind, frustrated, or quietly angry — and wants to turn that feeling into momentum instead of resentment. If you’ve ever felt jealous of another man, this episode isn’t here to shame you.  It’s here to show you what to do next. 🎧 New episodes weekly 📍 Follow us on social: @FailuresMedia Failures: The Podcast 2025 We're not gods.

In this episode, Rich & Justin break down The Respect Gap — the growing divide between what men give and what they get back.
