Scott Galloway, a professor at New York University, is concerned about a potential crisis for young men due to the rise of AI sex bots and excessive pornography consumption. He advocates for schools to teach young men about "mating dynamics" to help them form meaningful relationships. Galloway warns that relying on digital connections hinders the development of essential social skills and can lead to loneliness and depression. He laments that today's young men are discouraged from engaging in character-building activities outside of the digital world. Galloway suggests that pursuing relationships and investing time in personal development can lead to more fulfilling connections. He also advises young men to reconsider how they allocate their time between social media and other activities.

wdym i think that making people feel safe when youre interested in them is definitely a skill that some people lack and could use help to learn.

Yes. Some people learn the skill more intuitively, while others need clearer guidance.

I mean yes, but all the shit he says is red pill stuff. Even if it's meant positive or supportive or whatever, it portrays women as some kind of mythical creatures who require research, decoding, deeper insights and whatnot.

When you're unsure, if you're making someone uncomfortable, simply ask 'am I making you uncomfortable?' That's 99.9% of the whole science and skills required.

I can easily understand that a person finds a specific group of people or its individuals mysterious if they haven't pretty much ever had an interaction with them.

And when you add general and/or sexual interests to the matter, the experience will change accordingly.

I've been there too.
