Outsourcing of personal evolution

True, I think many in the 'manosphere' are just as bad as their arch nemesis feminists. However, there is a degree of truth in the prescriptions. Think of it this way, what are the most common issues many men face. It would lie probably around self-worth and purpose. That is why many of these passive issues will lead their lives: seeking comfort through a slovenly life, porn, drinking, etc.

I would say the best initial 'practise' it seems is establishing the routine. Some say 'Make your bed', I think 'Lift' is a good one. It is tough so you need to overcome your objections, it is a long-term commitment so you need to find your 'mini-wins', and the development process instils that pride (esp. with all that comes from having a stronger healthier body.) This may be the step needed to get people to face their fears in another way. Simply chucking names at people as 'weak', and 'beta', alas is not proven to be particularly helpful.

Being able to address yourself as 'weak', 'beta', or what not is either something you can do from a stronger stance and reference to the past or of a behaviour (e.g. Dave Goggins) or something that people on the downwards trajectory use to further the self-fulfilling prophecy - usually in a manipulative way to gain comfort either for rewarding inaction or getting others to provide a cheap ego boost. Those at the bottom would find this crushing.

So, adopt a helpful routine sure, I'd recommend doing some strength building exercise. Then build a vision and the discipline to get there.
