It’s been a wonderful year, folks. Lot of improvement in many facets. Lot of topics covered. Lot of experience gained. Many ups and downs, I’m sure. The raw way.
As we’re moving into a new year it’s important to do with style. We’re gonna go through some of the best articles on the Raw Manifesto as a primer in case you forgot some crucial principles that could benefit you.
Before we start..
It’s wise to note that if you haven’t reflected on your performance yet you absolutely should. No one will judge you but yourself, and if you don’t, you’ll live to have others judge you for you.
In this reflection, focus on what goals you had, how you operated, did you fall short, why, did you aim too low, why, what could you have done better, what have you done well that you’ll double down on next year, what goals do you have for next year, how will you go about it?
Make steps for each problem. Start from the finishing line and work your way backwards. No step is too tiny if it’ll help you get moving. Sometimes the toughest move is the first one. Then you can some momentum going with the small wins where you’ll have enough confidence and ambition to tackle bigger obstacles.
And now, let’s begin with this classic:
How to Be An Interesting Man
A life well-lived is one that is not to be forgotten while doing what your forgotten inner child always dreamed of. Tough to recreate or copy from a mere glance, a fascinating life is one very, very few humans get to live. God forbid this be your fate, so today we’re going to dive into:
I cover what it means to be an interesting man, why it’s important for you in this one life you have to be interesting, and how to go about it. A must read.
A raw piece on love and heartbreak:
Break My Heart & Hope to Thrive
To feel the very same heart beat a different tune against your breast — from when you first fell in love to when you finally realized this will be your last moment together — is a surreal experience, especially the first time. A sharp, physical pain that contorts the mind into a pile of muddy mush where nothing makes sense but all emotions are buzzing within, trying to explain. Betrayal, disappointment, sadness, anger, hopelessness, confusion. Heartbroken. A fragment of your heart was dissected, ripped out...
Masculine man have the rawest of emotions and feel the depths of its spectrum the most; we love the most and we feel the burn the most. I speak about heartbreak and its effects on men, positive and negative depending on how you let it affect your trajectory.
One of those pieces that if you know, you know.
How to Lock A Place Down
You ever enter a place with such swagger and importance that you think, “This is what 6 year old me envisioned being treated like when I would be older”? I’m talking dapping up the bouncer as the line to get in wraps around the block, velvet ropes (stanchions), being ripped open for you to squeeze past the group of NYC 8s wondering who you are, skipping lines as you give Maria the bathroom lady a kiss on the cheek...
A step-by-step guide on locking down the must-have locations in your headquarters. Want to run your village like fiefdom (homage G Manifesto)? Here’s the article for it.
Honorable Mention:
IG Mystery Method
The biggest issue with any one’s pursuit to success in any facet will always start with a lack of leads. If it’s being broke, your problem is in lead generation within your cash vehicle (obviously). If it’s becoming a strong boxer, it’s lead generating sparring practice and training (not too obvious). If it’s getting girls and enjoying more out of life …
I am usually humble and try my best to not claim outwardly statements that cannot be backed, but with this I can adamantly say I have the best IG dating guide on the market. Nothing exists like this. All I’ll say, give it a read and see if it appeals to you. Currently $200, will be $300 on January 1st, 2025 (tomorrow).
Too many folks fall privy to idolizing celebrities and internet masculine sensations, following their parents’ footsteps without considering the size of their own feet:
The Man's Journey
Too many dudes are cucked of their choices by following whatever their well-meaning parents intended for them when they were in diapers. The problem with listening to your family when you are a grown man is you become dependent on outside thought and lose your sense of irrational direction that leads you to places playing safe never could. You need a wild side. You need black fur on your sheep clothing...
A mandatory read for every young man under 30, as it’s much easier if not the only possible time to mold your blueprint to that of a trendsetter than a follower.
A fantastic post on articles by thzer0r on Twitter:
Archetypes
Archetypes have always inspired me, even as a youth. And there is a ton of info out there on the subject. The problem is that despite having all that data you’re rarely given a stat sheet on who you might be or how it may benefit you. Well. Luckily for you, the Raw Manifesto provides. And today, I’m happy to introduce a very knowledgeable and inquisitive…
Friends or foes? Often times the line thins and allies become enemies:
Warlord Tactics Pt. 1
Innocence escapes a man the first time he is eventually betrayed by the one he loved or trusted to never stab him in the back. It’s — in my experience — inevitable. Whether that’s family. A lover. A friend. And when it happens I truly believe the heart breaks a little. Fragments chip off and scars get tattooed onto the flaps...
Leave your innocence in 2024, operate like a warlord. Only take in those who you would benefit you the way you would them. Keep your circle tight, learn how to spot snakes a mile away, it’ll benefit you more than anything you know down the line.
Doing what must be done as a man despite the pain and courage required in relationships is something many will have to go through:
Break Up With Her, Even If You Love Her
Had a call with a follower, bright kid, killing it in the money department. But like all things, none of that really matters when it comes to relationships. Every one has problems and hiccups eventually. Especially if you’re under 35 because you’re not as experienced as most, or you don’t pick up patterns and assimilate them into your thought processing…
You have the foresight to tell the relationship won’t work, but you don’t want to break her heart out of the blue. Sometimes you must do the most difficult yet most humane part and snap a bird’s neck if it can no longer fly.
Honorable mention:
Art of Soulsnatching
Recently released my first book on securing a soul-bond with your long-term relationship in a modern-day world filled with distractions but instead of going into the details of what it’s about — as I will do this after you read the real juice — I’ll share the first two chapters with you as a taster as well as to give some value to my readers. It’s curre…
It’s not enough to just date a girl in today’s day and age of constant attention seeking and grass-is-greener comparison. You must learn how to snatch her soul. I talk about how to properly set any and all boundaries you’d want with her full submission as well as how to make her love you more than any other man here. Plus a $50 discount for IG Mystery.
Too many of you are avoiding beautiful women because you’re coping with the concept of making money:
Dating Broke Vs Grinding Celibate
The question many young men eventually come to battle with:
Do you bunker down and grind until you have a system set up where cash flow isn’t a concern or do you make ends meet while still enjoying your youth?
I explain the huge negatives you will face by avoiding dating when broke. I also explain a very interesting concept of expectations of what skills you should possess at certain ages for dating and for making money. They are vastly different.
Didn’t want to make this post too long by adding the few others but these are, in my humble opinion, the best of 2024. With that being said, I wish you all a happy and powerful year. Make 2025 yours, and as always..
Stay raw.
