The Stavros Halkias Method for Saving ‘Young Male Losers’
You often describe Stavvy’s World as an “anti-incel” podcast. What does that mean to you?
There’s a weird mean-spiritedness amongst young male losers that is harming them. I only say that because I was a young male loser. It took me until pretty late in life, well into college, to even have a little confidence and start dating. I think about what would’ve happened to me at 17 if there was somebody being like, “If you’re mean to girls and you’re racist, they’ll have to fuck.” I would’ve been like, “Nice. I guess I’m racist now. That seems so much easier than believing in myself and becoming a good person.”
Now, everyone’s like, “There’s a young masculinity crisis.” I know what a 15-year-old boy cares about, and I just want to say, “Here’s the actual path to getting girls to like you. You don’t have to go down that road. This is poisonous. This is not good for you. I promise you, you will just feel better by being a good hang. The bar is actually really fucking low for straight dudes now. Just don’t go down the dark side, brother, and you’ll be fine.”
