Speaker 1 (00:00):
They say truth is timeless, but they are truths so
dangerous they don't just fade, they get buried. And no
one was more aware of this than Socrates. You've heard
of him, the father of Western philosophy, the man who
chose death rather than silence. But what you probably haven't
heard is what he really believed about women, because they've
scrubbed it from the surface of history. Ask yourself this.
(00:22):
Why is Socrates painted as a harmless old thinker, calmly
sipping poison. Why don't they tell you that he saw
women as a force not just of beauty but chaos.
Why do the books mention his philosophy but skip over
his warnings. The truth is Socrates wasn't some soft pacifist.
He was ruthless in pursuit of wisdom, and that wisdom
(00:42):
it came with a cost. Socrates knew something about women
that men to day are starving to understand. But society
has replaced truth with politeness, clarity with confusion, and men
are suffering for it. This isn't about hatred, It's about clarity.
This isn't about blaming women, It's about freeing men. What
if the very things women say they want aren't what
(01:05):
they respond to. What if modern men are being trained
to fail in love by following rules that were never
written for them. In this video, you'll learn the ancient
truth Socrates knew and why it terrified the world so
much they buried it for centuries. If you're a man
who's tired of being lied to, this is your red pill.
Let's begin. Most people don't know this, but Socrates was married,
(01:26):
and not just to any woman, but to Zantipe, a
name that's become synonymous with cruelty, nagging, and emotional volatility.
According to nearly every ancient source, she was difficult, loud, argumentative,
even abusive. She once dumped a full pot of water
over his head in public. And how did Socrates respond.
He didn't raise his voice, he didn't fight back. He laughed.
(01:49):
And that's the moment, men, miss Socrates wasn't weak, he
wasn't indifferent. He was studying her, observing, learning. He understood
something we've forgotten. To understand the world, you must first
understand woman, not the romanticized version, the real one. And
what did Socrates discover That a woman's words often betray
her instincts, that her emotions can contradict her actions, that
(02:12):
her desire for goodness doesn't always align with what she's
drawn to. He lived this contradiction daily, and he never
tried to control it, because Socrates knew trying to fix
a woman is how you lose your soul. Instead, he watched,
he detached, he grew stronger, and from that chaos he
drew a single conclusion. By all means, Mary, if you
get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get
(02:34):
a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. That wasn't a joke.
That was a coded warning. He wasn't speaking about marriage.
He was speaking about transformation. Because when a man suffers
through the contradictions of a woman and doesn't break, he
either becomes bitter or wise. This was socrates true lesson.
Women will test you, tear you open, push your boundaries,
(02:55):
and what remains after the storm is who you really are.
He didn't complain, he didn't victimize himself. He used it
all as fuel for his mind. To day's men, they
explain themselves, they justify, they apologize, and in the process
they lose respect. Socrates didn't play that game. He chose
silence over begging, wisdom over comfort, power over peace, and
(03:18):
that's why they want you to believe Socrates was just
a harmless old man with a beard, not the man
who stared into feminine chaos and emerged with unshakable clarity.
Modern culture worships the illusion of equality between the sexes,
not equality of worth, but sameness. We're told that men
and women think the same, love the same, want the same,
that a man can be more attractive if he becomes
(03:39):
more like her, more emotionally expressive, more agreeable, more compliant.
And yet men who follow this script find themselves ghosted, divorced,
or demoted to emotional support status while she fantasizes about
some one else. Socrates would have laughed, not out of cruelty,
but because he saw through human self deception. The great
Greek philosopher knew that surface words often hide deeper instincts,
(04:03):
and nothing is more hidden, more dangerous to ignore than
the unconscious polarity between man and woman. Polarity isn't misogyny,
it's magnetism. A woman doesn't lose attraction to a man
because he's kind, She loses it when his kindness comes
with neediness, when it masks an absence of spine Socrates
knew that virtue meant arete, excellence rooted in living according
(04:24):
to one's nature. And for a man, nature does not whisper.
It roars. You weren't made to become what she tells
you she wants. You were made to become what she
can't control. She'll say, she wants softness, vulnerability, full access
to your heart. But watch what happens when you give
it all to her too quickly. She pulls away, not
because she's malicious, but because her instincts are ruthless. Nature
(04:47):
has wired her biology to test for strength, not softness,
for rootedness, not romantic please. Socrates warned that desire, especially eros,
was not about logic. It was madness a divine a
madness that reveals who you are when stripped of all appearances.
And what is more revealing than a man desperate for
validation from the very woman he's trying to lead. Masculine
(05:09):
and feminine energy are not interchangeable. One penetrates, one receives,
one builds, one nurtures, one hold stillness the other flows.
But when a man abandons his essence to be accepted
by the feminine, when he stops leading and starts asking,
polarity collapses. This is why being a good guy isn't enough,
not if your goodness is brought with self erasure. Women
(05:31):
aren't drawn to compliance, they're drawn to conviction. Socrates once
said to know thyself is the beginning of wisdom. But
how many men today truly know themselves? Most know only
how to adjust to become less threatening, more likable, more digestible,
And in doing so they become forgettable. Because you can't
lead a woman when you're chasing her. The men women
(05:52):
admire don't orbit them. They stand rooted in something greater,
a mission, a code, a truth. That's what gives a
man his edge, not cruelty, but clarity. He does not
bend for comfort. He creates tension, not for manipulation, but
because tension is the space where attraction lives. You are
told to become safer to earn her trust, but paradoxically,
(06:14):
safety without challenge creates boredom, and boredom is the death
of desire. This is polarity, the uncomfortable, undeniable biological truth
that our ancestors knew, and Socrates whispered through riddles. Not
all men get it, but those who do, they stop
chasing approval and start becoming the kind of man she
wants to chase. Here's a brutal truth. Most men still
(06:36):
take a woman's words at face value. She says she
wants a nice guy, someone emotionally available, someone who communicates.
So the modern man does what he's told. He becomes sensitive, open,
even self sacrificing. He showers her with words, listens endlessly,
makes her the center of his life. And what does
he get in return? Silence, confusion, or worse, a bad
(07:00):
You see, the modern man forgot what Socrates never did.
Human beings lie to themselves first, then they lie to others,
not always with bad intent, but because we don't understand
our own nature. A woman might believe she wants comfort,
emotional safety, and full transparency, but on a deeper, subconscious level,
what she truly craves is contrast masculine intention, mystery presence,
(07:25):
a man she can't predict or fully grasp, because once
she can, the desire dies. Socrates believe that truth was
not found in statements, but in contradictions. So when a
woman tells you one thing and responds to something entirely different,
a wise man doesn't get angry. He doesn't spiral into
self pity. He steps back and observes, ask yourself, who
(07:46):
are the men She fantasizes about the ones she cannot
quite control, The ones who have a mission larger than
her approval, The ones who, without being cruel, don't flinch
when she tests them, because make no mistake, she will
test you, not to destroy you, but to measure you.
Every eye roll, every silent treatment, every you've changed is
(08:06):
a question. Can you hold your ground or will you
collapse into me? Most men collapse, they argue, They explain,
they apologize for things they didn't even do, just to
keep the peace. But what they don't realize is every
unnecessary apology chips away at her attraction. Not because she
wants you to be a tyrant, but because she wants
you to be whole. She wants to feel your core,
(08:28):
and your core isn't found in words, it's revealed in presents.
Socrates famously never wrote anything down. Why because truth isn't
just said, It's embodied in how you walk, how you
respond under pressure, how you react when she withholds affection
or throws emotional chaos your way. The real test isn't
in how much you love her, but in how little
you abandon yourself. That's the paradox no one talks about.
(08:51):
The more you try to prove your worth to her,
the less she feels it. The more you speak to
win her heart, the more noise you create. What really
pierces the feminine psyche is stillness, not emptiness, but the
calm force of a man who knows himself. Because here's
the part that stings. Women are designed to filter out
weak men, not with malice, with instinct. And when your
(09:13):
every move revolves around pleasing her, you're not showing love.
You're showing dependence. That's not devotion, that's emotional submission, and
nature punishes it with disinterest. Socrates said, the only true
wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. But most modern
men think they know what women want because they listen
only to the surface. Real wisdom is knowing that what
(09:35):
she says is often a reflection of who she wishes
she were, not who she truly is. If you want
to be the man who captivates her, stop listening to
her words and start listening to her response, her body,
her energy, her gaze. They never lie, but only the
man rooted in truth will ever see the difference. Let's
ask the question every man secretly fears. Why did she
(09:56):
forget you so fast? You poured your heart out, You
were there but her worst. You shared dreams, she said
things like you're the one I've never felt this way
and I can't lose you. Then days or weeks later,
it's like she never knew you. She's posting photos with
a new man, laughing, louder, glowing. Even you feel discarded,
(10:16):
like your love was invisible. But here's what Socrates would
have told you. You were not forgotten because you weren't
good enough. You were forgotten because you were too predictable.
Let that burn. You gave her your entire self too soon,
your emotions, your attention, your soul. You thought that would
earn loyalty, but in reality it killed the tension. It
(10:38):
collapsed the polarity. You became too known, too safe, too available.
Women don't fall for men who collapse into them. They
fall for men who challenge them to rise. The ones
she remembers, the ones she obsesses over years later, are
not always the most attractive, wealthy, or romantic. They're the
ones who carried mystery, the ones who had a spine
(10:59):
beneath the softness, the ones who could walk away and
mean it. Because here's the paradox most men never grasp.
The man who doesn't need her is the one she
needs the most. Not because he's arrogant, but because he's sovereign.
His validation comes from his mission, not her approval. She
becomes a witness to his life, not the center of it.
And in witnessing his depth, his discipline, his refusal to bend,
(11:22):
she feels something ancient, something primal. Respect And if she
doesn't respect you, love doesn't matter. Affection won't last, sex
won't save it. She will either walk away or worse
stay while emotionally withdrawing. You'll become the man in her life,
but not the man in her mind. Socrates taught that
self examination is the root of freedom. So if you've
(11:45):
ever been ghosted, friends, owned, or slowly faded out of
a woman's life, don't waste time blaming her. Ask yourself.
Was I leading? Was I building something real or just
orbiting her life? Did I express truth or just say
what I thought she wanted to hear? Did I become softer, weaker,
more agreeable just to avoid conflict? If yes, then her
(12:07):
exit was not betrayal. It was feedback. The feminine tests
because it must, the feminine forgets because it needs to
feel more. And a man who gives too much, too
fast becomes a man with nothing left to reveal. But
here's the twist. You can become the man she remembers,
the man she dreams of even when she's in another's arms,
the man who left such a mark on her psyche
(12:27):
that no amount of noise, validation, or affection from others
can drown it out. How by detaching from outcome, by
becoming someone who doesn't just get women, but someone who
gets himself. When your life is built from truth not fear,
everything changes. You become the storm and the stillness. You
no longer chase women, because now they chase the experience
(12:49):
of being near you. The difference between the man she
keeps and the man she forgets is not charm, its centeredness,
and the modern world it's full of forgotten men trying
to prove they matter. Be the one who doesn't need to.
There's something terrifying that most men don't want to admit.
She can smell it. Not your cologne, not your sweat.
She can smell when you've lost yourself. You might smile,
(13:10):
you might say the right things, you might even hit
the gym, grow the beard, wear the jacket. But deep down,
if your soul is hollowed out, if you've traded yourself
for the dream of being chosen. She knows. Women are
biologically and psychologically tuned to perceive incongruence. If what you
say doesn't match what you believe, if your posture hide's desperation,
(13:30):
if your kindness is conditional, she won't argue, she'll just
feel it, a repulsion she can't even explain, and she'll
pull away because on some level she knows you're no
longer a man. You're a mirror begging to be filled.
And here's the problem. Modern men are told to perform,
to do more, prove value, earn her attention. But Socrates
would say, to find yourself, think for yourself. If you're
(13:54):
performing for her, then you're not thinking for you. You've
become her audience, not her counterpart. And she doesn't want
a fan. She wants a man, a man who stands,
not waits, a man who moves not molds, a man
who can listen without bending, love, without shrinking, lead, without apologizing.
Because here's what no one tells you. A woman doesn't
(14:14):
want to complete you. She wants to meet you. Meet
you at your edge, Meet you where you refuse to flinch,
Meet you where your purpose burns and your vision cuts
through noise. If there's no core, there's no fire for
her to warm herself by. But most men have been
shamed out of that fire. They've been told their masculinity
is toxic, their dominance dangerous, their leadership controlling, So they
(14:36):
neutralize themselves, thinking it's virtue. But it's not virtue, it's
self betrayal. And women, at least the one's worth your
soul won't follow a man who betrays himself to keep them.
They'll test you, they'll provoke you. They'll say you've changed,
or you're too much, not because they want you to fold,
but to see if you will. Because the moment you do,
(14:56):
the moment you compromise who you are for who she wants,
the attraction dies not because you weren't enough, but because
you stopped being real. A man in his truth is dangerous,
not because he harms, but because he's unmovable. He doesn't
chase validation, he doesn't over explain, he doesn't beg to
be seen. He stands in silence if he must, and ironically,
(15:18):
that silence speaks louder than every desperate man shouting his
worth into a void. So if you've ever wondered why
she lost interest, ask yourself, where did I lose myself?
Because until you reclaim that, your presence will feel like performance,
your strength will feel like strategy, and your love will
feel like leverage. But when you return to truth unapologetically,
(15:40):
she won't just notice, she'll feel it in her bones.
And even if she doesn't stay, even if she walks,
one thing will remain. You will never betray yourself again.
You've heard a lot in this video. Maybe some of
it stung, Maybe some of it confirmed a deep suspicion
you've always felt but couldn't articulate. Maybe just maybe it
lit a fire you've been afraid to touch. That fire
(16:02):
is your truth. Socrates warned us long ago, the unexamined
life is not worth living. But most men today are
living someone else's script, trying to please, perform and protect
an illusion. They're exhausted, confused, and quietly wondering why nothing
feels right, even when they've done everything right. But here's
what you must understand. It is not your job to
(16:23):
be what she wants. It is your job to become
what you are, fully, dangerously, unapologetically. The world will call
it arrogance, some women will call it insensitivity. But the few,
the very few, who recognize real masculinity will feel it
in their soul. And even if no one sees it,
you will. You'll feel the return of your spine, the
(16:45):
quiet dignity of not needing to be chosen. And from
that place, you don't chase women. You don't chase approval.
You become a force. You pull reality toward you, because
now you know, what you tolerate becomes your prison. What
you embody, he becomes your freedom.
They say truth is timeless, but they are truths so
dangerous they don't just fade, they get buried. And no
one was more aware of this than Socrates. You've heard
of him, the father of Western philosophy, the man who
chose death rather than silence. But what you probably haven't
heard is what he really believed about women, because they've
scrubbed it from the surface of history. Ask yourself this.

emotional safety, and full transparency, but on a deeper, subconscious level,
what she truly craves is contrast masculine intention, mystery presence,

man rooted in truth will ever see the difference. Let's
ask the question every man secretly fears. Why did she
(09:56):
forget you so fast? You poured your heart out, You
were there but her worst. You shared dreams, she said
things like you're the one I've never felt this way

your emotions, your attention, your soul. You thought that would
earn loyalty, but in reality it killed the tension. It
(10:38):
collapsed the polarity. You became too known, too safe, too available.
Women don't fall for men who collapse into them. They
fall for men who challenge them to rise. The ones
she remembers, the ones she obsesses over years later, are
not always the most attractive, wealthy, or romantic. They're the
ones who carried mystery, the ones who had a spine
(10:59):
beneath the softness, the ones who could walk away and
mean it. Because here's the paradox most men never grasp.
The man who doesn't need her is the one she
needs the most. Not because he's arrogant, but because he's sovereign.
His validation comes from his mission, not her approval. She
becomes a witness to his life, not the center of it.
And in witnessing his depth, his discipline, his refusal to bend,
(11:22):
she feels something ancient, something primal. Respect And if she
doesn't respect you, love doesn't matter. Affection won't last, sex
won't save it. She will either walk away or worse
stay while emotionally withdrawing. You'll become the man in her life,
but not the man in her mind. Socrates taught that
self examination is the root of freedom. So if you've
(11:45):
ever been ghosted, friends, owned, or slowly faded out of
a woman's life, don't waste time blaming her. Ask yourself.
Was I leading? Was I building something real or just
orbiting her life? Did I express truth or just say
what I thought she wanted to hear? Did I become softer, weaker,
more agreeable just to avoid conflict? If yes, then her
(12:07):
exit was not betrayal. It was feedback. The feminine tests
because it must, the feminine forgets because it needs to
feel more. And a man who gives too much, too
fast becomes a man with nothing left to reveal. But
here's the twist. You can become the man she remembers,
the man she dreams of even when she's in another's arms,
the man who left such a mark on her psyche
(12:27):
that no amount of noise, validation, or affection from others
can drown it out. How by detaching from outcome, by
becoming someone who doesn't just get women, but someone who
gets himself. When your life is built from truth not fear,
everything changes. You become the storm and the stillness. You
no longer chase women, because now they chase the experience
(12:49):
of being near you. The difference between the man she
keeps and the man she forgets is not charm, its centeredness,
and the modern world it's full of forgotten men trying
to prove they matter. Be the one who doesn't need to.
There's something terrifying that most men don't want to admit.
She can smell it. Not your cologne, not your sweat.
She can smell when you've lost yourself. You might smile,
(13:10):
you might say the right things, you might even hit
the gym, grow the beard, wear the jacket. But deep down,
if your soul is hollowed out, if you've traded yourself
for the dream of being chosen. She knows. Women are
biologically and psychologically tuned to perceive incongruence. If what you
say doesn't match what you believe, if your posture hide's desperation,
(13:30):
if your kindness is conditional, she won't argue, she'll just
feel it, a repulsion she can't even explain, and she'll
pull away because on some level she knows you're no
longer a man. You're a mirror begging to be filled.
And here's the problem. Modern men are told to perform,
to do more, prove value, earn her attention. But Socrates
would say, to find yourself, think for yourself. If you're
(13:54):
performing for her, then you're not thinking for you. You've
become her audience, not her counterpart. And she doesn't want
a fan. She wants a man, a man who stands,
not waits, a man who moves not molds, a man
who can listen without bending, love, without shrinking, lead, without apologizing.
Because here's what no one tells you. A woman doesn't
(14:14):
want to complete you. She wants to meet you. Meet
you at your edge, Meet you where you refuse to flinch,
Meet you where your purpose burns and your vision cuts
through noise. If there's no core, there's no fire for
her to warm herself by. But most men have been
shamed out of that fire. They've been told their masculinity
is toxic, their dominance dangerous, their leadership controlling, So they
(14:36):
neutralize themselves, thinking it's virtue. But it's not virtue, it's
self betrayal. And women, at least the one's worth your
soul won't follow a man who betrays himself to keep them.
They'll test you, they'll provoke you. They'll say you've changed,
or you're too much, not because they want you to fold,
but to see if you will. Because the moment you do,
(14:56):
the moment you compromise who you are for who she wants,
the attraction dies not because you weren't enough, but because
you stopped being real. A man in his truth is dangerous,
not because he harms, but because he's unmovable. He doesn't
chase validation, he doesn't over explain, he doesn't beg to
be seen. He stands in silence if he must, and ironically,
(15:18):
that silence speaks louder than every desperate man shouting his
worth into a void. So if you've ever wondered why
she lost interest, ask yourself, where did I lose myself?
Because until you reclaim that, your presence will feel like performance,
your strength will feel like strategy, and your love will
feel like leverage. But when you return to truth unapologetically,
(15:40):
she won't just notice, she'll feel it in her bones.
And even if she doesn't stay, even if she walks,
one thing will remain. You will never betray yourself again.
You've heard a lot in this video. Maybe some of
it stung, Maybe some of it confirmed a deep suspicion
you've always felt but couldn't articulate. Maybe just maybe it
lit a fire you've been afraid to touch. That fire
(16:02):
is your truth. Socrates warned us long ago, the unexamined
life is not worth living. But most men today are
living someone else's script, trying to please, perform and protect
an illusion. They're exhausted, confused, and quietly wondering why nothing
feels right, even when they've done everything right. But here's
what you must understand. It is not your job to
(16:23):
be what she wants. It is your job to become
what you are, fully, dangerously, unapologetically. The world will call
it arrogance, some women will call it insensitivity. But the few,
the very few, who recognize real masculinity will feel it
in their soul. And even if no one sees it,
you will. You'll feel the return of your spine, the
(16:45):
quiet dignity of not needing to be chosen. And from
that place, you don't chase women. You don't chase approval.
You become a force. You pull reality toward you, because
now you know, what you tolerate becomes your prison. What
you embody, he becomes your freedom.
