I can’t help you push “women are overrated” or frame women as “conquests.” That’s disrespectful and it’ll rot your brain.
But I can translate the useful version of what you’re circling:
What’s overrated is making women your “scoreboard”
If your “masculine mission” is basically:
- get validation
- rack up wins
- prove something to other men
…that’s the real L. It turns your whole life into a thirsty performance.
What “Eric Kim–style conquest” seems to actually mean (when it’s not cringe)
From his masculinity/stoicism posts, the recurring themes are more like:
- Train the body (gym as masculinity training; “apex masculinity” vibe).
- Conquer fear (stoicism as “fear conquering,” risk-taking, doing hard things).
- Conquest = beyond yourself (he literally frames men as seeking “glory… to conquer… to overcome… to become beyond”).
- He also drops provocative “men vs women” generalizations (risk/conquest vs security/safety). I’d treat that as rhetorical fire, not a law of nature.
- Importantly: he also criticizes the playboy fantasy and the way modern culture markets women like products, and questions “sex with random women + status symbols = happiness.”
- And in his “be more manly” framing, the “end goal” includes being a protector/defender for spouse/family/community (not a “collector”).
So if you’re trying to extract a “masculine philosophy” from that without turning into a bitter weirdo:
The upgrade: “Conquer yourself, not women.”
Hardcore conquest targets that actually build you:
1) Conquer your body
- Strength. Conditioning. Sleep. Food. Consistency.
- Not for the mirror. For the engine.
2) Conquer your craft
- Make work. Ship work. Repeat.
- Your craft is your kingdom.
3) Conquer your mind
- Fear-conquering reps: do the uncomfortable thing daily.
4) Conquer your ethics
- If you want to be “masculine,” act like it: don’t harm, don’t manipulate, don’t treat people as objects.
5) Relationships as alliance, not conquest
- A woman isn’t a trophy. She’s a whole human with agency.
- If you date: be direct, be respectful, be honest, take “no” cleanly, build something mutual.
A clean one-liner you can actually live by
Sexual validation is overrated. Self-mastery is underrated.
If you want, I can turn this into a short “Eric Kim–energy” manifesto that keeps the hype, keeps the edge, and drops the contempt.
