No matter what you do. No matter what you say. No matter how you act, none of it doesn't matter. They're. Going to tell. You it's your fault and you're wrong. I'd hate to tell you that I'd hate to be the one to break the. Bad news, but that's the way it is. My friends, welcome to the Sheep Get Sheared podcast. I'm your host, Austin Creed, and my friends. Today, we're going to be talking about the pitfalls of youth. Are you talking about one of the biggest traps that young men must avoid, and by the thumbnail you could understand why or what it is I am referring to but. You know, it's interesting and want to talk to whether it's my father, my father's friends, my grandfather, his friends more. You realize how much has changed in such little time. For example, my grandfather grew up in a farm on a. Farm in Kansas. Didn't have the Internet. He had a. Radio. His father and his uncle. Under World War Two guys. Yeah, he's he's have this whole different life experience, grew up on a farm. There was no electronics, really. There was. He had a very small town. And then we flash forward to my my dad. He, you know, the Internet wasn't around until, you know, very I was born. In the early 2000s. And so, well, even when I was a. Kid. The Internet was around, but it was nothing like it is today. I remember when I got my first phone I had a flip phone. I know, I know BlackBerry type of a thing versus today. I see some of the jet alpha kids, you know, teenagers, preteens, even elementary school kids. They're on TikTok or on Instagram. You know these. It's crazy to me how much the world has changed in a short period of time, and with it, the experience of men has changed. The experience of how we navigate youth in the pitfalls thereof has changed our experience and has caused us to have to adapt because we don't adapt. We're going to deal with. Pitfalls we're going to fall for traps and one of these traps is the trap of social media and social media can be a great tool for you to learn about the realities of life that you are not exposed to in your direct life. There's an old saying that says wise people learn from the mistakes of others. Regular. You know, people learn from their own mistakes. And then fools. Can even learn from their own mistakes, so if you're wise, you can learn from different people on different areas of the Internet, have different life experiences and you can then learn from their mistakes. But the problem is a lot of people, it's sort of trying to learn. They try to satisfy their various vices and one of them, especially for guys in my age group and guys, believe in the younger than me. You are still teenager. We have our hormones going absolutely cuckoo bananas. And So what happens is we end up looking at these thirst traps. We end up going on the hub, we end up doing these things. That are not beneficial to our long term health. And even with Kai set up, for example, in his recent issues he's having with this, I don't know this complete another three O 4 that he allegedly paid or didn't pay or whatever. I don't follow this guy very. Closely, I don't consider him to be a very intelligent person and I don't. I don't like following people who I don't view as intelligent. I have a hard time respecting them. But nevertheless, guys like him have a very huge following and he is another example of we need to adopt as men mean to move differently. We need to. Avoid letting our Johnsons do the thinking instead of with between our ears, our brain to many of us, we get the venom backed up in our. Our system and instead of thinking with our brains. We think with what's below our belt. And we, as men, we have to avoid this because it will distract us from most of our youth and even into our, you know, 30s and maybe even into your 40s. It can distract you. We need to put aside the prawn. We need to pick up the purse and to fill it with coins. We need to stop allowing. Our libido to control our lives. I'll stay here and I don't pretend like I'm some monk who lives in a monastery in China somewhere. No. I deal with. This stuff too. All every day I deal with this stuff. So I'm not here to pretend like I have all the answers. No, I'm in the trenches, too. I deal with this everyday too. But you know what's interesting is if you ever encounter people who use emotional arguments against you to try to push you off the path, you're on it. Means you're on. The right path, because people who. Know what they're talking about. They don't use emotions, they use logic. They don't try to red hair well, red herring out of their top hat. They don't try to straw man your argument. Make you look goofy. No, they have the brains to build an argument against. But to many of us, man, we fall for this trap of being on social media and. Looking at. Cheeks and looking at top heavy women all day, every day or especially at random peaks during the day, especially when whether it's in the morning, when your testosterone is the highest or at night when you're bored, maybe you're a little *****. Whatever. We end up doing. These things that are going to sabotage us in long time down the road and some of us even give them money. Not me. I don't do that dumb crap. But the but The thing is, we as men have to avoid this pitfall of chasing women. First of all, if you're chasing women, you're wasting your time. Women are like wild horses. They don't want to be caught and they don't. And they can't be broken, because if you even try, you're getting arrested. I'm telling you the way it is. Look, let these people run free. I love the Peace of Mind where I know some guys on this side of the Internet. They try. To say stuff like oh. We need to get women. To act right or. We need to put women in. Their place? No, I don't think about doing any. That. Ohh, I'd say let him go run wild. Let them do whatever the hell they want. It is not my job to teach someone else how to be an adult. It is not my job to teach you how to be a, you know, it's hilarious to me. We want to talk about, like, women's liberation and whatnot. When's the last time you heard a guy say to another guy? Almost strong. You have been a man. I have my own job. I have my own place. I have my own. Money. It's like, yeah, that's I've expected. Duh. Not have expected right to be weird to say that. Well, for women, they have to say that. And then I and then I see here I'm like ohh so you mean like you're basic functioning adult. Wow. Good job. That's fantastic. A round of applause for you. 

Oh. 

Look, gentlemen, Leah realized that a lot of women are a lot like children. There are some men who fit that description as well. But for the most part, most women are like children with breasts. They not to demean them in any way. But it's a way to bribe them and their antics and how they behave. So we need to walk into the situation and. We need to avoid. Letting them distract us. Because women are on the one hand will say, ohh, we're oppressed by the patriarchy. It's so horrible. And then on the other side, they'll. Be like ohh. Ohh you whip. We're so we're sexualized. Oh my God, this is so bad. And then me while they'll be on on lonely fans, they'll be on the hub. They'll be. Her strapping on TikTok and Instagram and that's where I get their money from. Meanwhile they'll complain about it like you can't have. It both ways. You know, you get tremendous power off of what you do, you know it. But of course, they gotta have it both ways, because that's how women like to operate. And my friends, I don't say this to make you hate anybody. I don't think hatred is really beneficial at all. The end of the. Day. You are wasting your time and you're trying to control people or circumstances that are outside of your control. What I'd recommend you do is say I'm going to avoid these traps. These, these thirst traps, these these people, these alpha, you know, alpha, predator women, these apex predator types who trap the athletes and the famous people on their way up. Oh, avoid all this garbage. And I'm going to say, you know what? I'm gonna do what I want to do. I'm gonna just build my empire. I'm gonna do what I want to do. I'm gonna stay on my own path that I have forged. Or maybe I subscribe to a philosophy. Whether it's like being a biblical bachelor like me or even go and do anybody else's or make your own. We as men need to adapt to the. Dating market, we're. In I don't understand men today who talk about Ohh well, things should be like this where things ought to be like that. I don't care about those things. Why? Cause I can't control that. Yeah. Should the world have a better divorce rate? And shouldn't all fault divorce exist? Should we get ready? Absolutely. We should get rid of it. But do I have the power to do that? No. So why in the world would I say? Ohh. Guys get married and fight the system. That's stupid. All you're doing is sending people into a losing situation. Yeah. Can you be alpha, quote UN quote? I think using those kind of terms, but can you be alpha the merica stuff maybe for a little bit, but you're not going to be long term because if you do no matter what you do as a man, you understand whether it's in the odds of society or the eyes of women or even the eyes of children, they'll, they'll you will be the scapegoat. You will be the one who is wrong and you will. Be the one stuck with the bill. No matter what you. Do. No matter what you. Say no matter how you act, none of it doesn't matter. They're. Going to tell. You it's your fault and you're wrong. I'd hate to tell you that I'd hate to be the one to break. The bad news, but that's the way it is. You shouldn't resent them for that. That's. Just how it works. So you let. Them move accordingly. That's another chop. You need to avoid, but the biggest one is what women say versus what they do. Look on social media. You'll see the same. Word on social media, they'll be all glammed up and. They'll look amazing and. You'll think, Dang, I need me a woman like that and then you'll see them on, like some leaked photo thing where, like, they have no makeup, no filters, no AI, no no fake hair, no nothing. And they look like an average girl. And you're like oh. That's the same one as over here. No, I can't be true. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Yeah, that's what I told. I'm telling you that's the way it works. I hate to be the one to break the bad news, but they're people just like you. But for some reason, people want to pretend like women are like these mystical goddess like creatures. No, they're people just like you. They eat, they take dumps. They do all these things that you do. The problem is you're thinking what what's below the belt, not what's upstairs in your brain. And we need to stop. That's what. That's what our clarity does for men. And that's part of the reason why I'm so opposed to the reason why the the church wants to cherry pick today. That's why, for example, when people want to say that. Oh, Christians are supposed to leave before marriage, and they're not supposed to have sex. Outside of marriage and blah. Blah. Ohh, really. Well, marriage isn't the same word as. It used to. Be back in. The day. So if the meaning of that could change. Change why should the meaning of everything else do the? Same way all. The people don't want to do that. They don't want to ask questions because asking questions apparently makes you just honest and makes you bad. Guess what? I don't care. I don't accept those labels from people because guess what, most people are ignorant. They don't understand what's going on and they. Want to make? You got the only guess like you and thinking you're the problem. If you wake up to what's going on in the world today. Don't be awoke be awakened. That's my. That's what I say. Anyways, let's get back to why young men should avoid these pitfalls in these traps. The reason is because it distracts you. It keeps you being a cog in the corporate wheel. Who do you think pays these women to be influencers? Who do you think pushes them in the algorithm? Them. Guys at the top who know that if you are distracted, if you are put off of your purpose then they will benefit off of you. They will control you and then doing so will prevent you from usurping them from replacing them from giving them competition. That's one of the critics. That's one of the biggest critics of capitalism is not having competition. Ohh. There's always gonna be competition. Problem is, most people are not capable of superseding and transcending their baser instincts and actually achieving something in life and not willing to sacrifice their aid. To build their super ego or their ego and. That's the problem. My friends, what are some things you found? Could be a trap for younger men. Are you in for older men? I'm not an older man yet, so I could talk about theoretical things that older men have to avoid. But I'm not an older man. If you are, please feel free to share your comments. And they could say if I'm a guys life who maybe I can't relate to you because I'm a younger guy. I want this to be a space where people can exchange notes and talk about ways they're being exploited, or ways that they are being manipulated because that's what it comes down to. A gentleman pointed out on my on the show the. Other. Day that my the idea of the sheep getting sheared can be emasculating for some men because the eels are the female. Cheaper than ones who get sheared. This is. True, but guess. What? It's an analogy because a lot of men say are actually masculine. They want to flirt like they are, but they they're not and they're not very masculine. Now that could be insulting to you right now. But what you gonna do with that? You gonna let that anger just make you lash out at me in the comments section? Or are you going to do that and say, you know what? He's right. Austin might be right. I'm gonna go to the gym. Hey, you know what? You might be right. I'm going to really reflect, and I'm going to think about how I can become better. And now I can prove him wrong. Good. I want you to prove me wrong, but I don't want you to do. He has misplaced your anger and get mad at me because what does that actually do for you? Nothing. Nothing. It doesn't do anything for you. I want you to fix yourself. I could fix you if I could make you the most masculine man possible. I would. If I can't. That's up to you. I'm nobody's keeper. Nobody's I I can't do everything for everybody. I can barely do everything for myself at the moment, and I'm always trying to. Do better. My friends, please share your notes. Please do your own research. Please do not do. Let others think for you. I encourage you to be better than that. Don't be the average schmuck. He doesn't listen to anybody, but just these talking heads and the and the mainstream media, please will love God. Don't do that, please. You will regret it later in life. But my friends, if you like what you hear, I got plenty more with this came from. Also, if you want to follow me, I think a lot of hot. Takes. On Twitter at sheep get sheared, same names in channel. I look forward to finding you over there if. You want to listen. To them, some more hot takes from me. You know, if you find it entertaining. But my friends again, I invite you to share your thoughts. Comment section whether you agree with me, don't agree with me all fair now. I might call you out if you're a little dumb, but I'm not going to do it out of hatred. I'm doing it so you can maybe learn something. I always want to learn and I want other people have opportunity do. The same I'm out.
