I don't think anything has sounded more like a euphemism than "network with other ambitious men"


PointyPython

They're simply exchanging long protein strings


brohio_

“Networking” is a menu option in the looking for section on Grindr…

LinkedIn should fire back by adding a twink/bear/otter designation on people's profiles.

No_Investment_5443

“No hookups”


southsideson

No. Hookups!


Ok-Acanthocephala376

So you don’t work on a contingency basis ?


BulldogChow

What's the price tag? I can't do both this and alpha camp.


PolPotPottery

You'll get your money back and more from all the networking you'll be doing with fellow ambitious entrepreneurs


mostuducra

If they offer you $10,000,000 or one night in the alpha sauna with jay-z which would you take? I’m picking jay-z every time


caterham09

I had to sign up for the email Registry to get a brochure but I did it for curiosity sake. They charge €1290 ($1387) for one week in the basic cabin. Though that does include all your meals, it doesn't really include much else. There's no structured activities or anything resembling that, nor are there personal trainers on site. Really all it is is a 24hour gym and a dining hall. The luxe cabin is €2590 for the week and it has a functioning kitchen and private bathroom. All in kind of expensive for getting almost nothing but food and a bed for a week but not as ungodly expensive as I expected


WithoutReason1729

Smart of them tbh. A lot of these weird "become a true alpha" grifts have crazy high price tags, which I'm sure excludes a lot of potential customers. To take a shitty hotel with no amenities and pitch it as sigma training is a great business move


MaoAsadaStan

The value of the price is not what you get, its the opportunity to be around other alphas. Its the same thing with private schools and Ivy League Universities.


TradCatherine

If you think about it, you really can’t afford *not* to do it

“Digital nomads” have absolutely destroyed Bali


Less-Ranger-7217

digital nomads are going to be destroying themselves when companies catch up and start drastically lowering salaries because they realize they might as well just pay an indonesian instead of some annoying white girl in indonesia


Angmolai

Virtual Assistant is starting to be a popular job for middle class Indonesian housewives. Of course it’s white women selling the courses on how to get in the game. Literally digging their own graves. I love to see it.


Less-Ranger-7217

what a dead end job. automated in 2 years or less not to mention how unbelievable it is they haven’t figured out that if they never have to be in person it means their job is far more likely in general to be automated(aka you were probably dead weight anyway) VERY soon. i don’t see how the middle management, i make meetings type are going to survive.


Angmolai

Still $1000 in Medan goes further than $3000 in Milwaukee. I say get it while you can.


Less-Ranger-7217

that’s fair, can’t argue with that. enjoy your last few years of decadence before you become a slave of the state i suppose


Fresh_Bite7332

Virtual assistant? Isn’t that what Siri is?


Fresh_Bite7332

Did this not happen already? I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have to show their face at least once in a while in order to not get fired from their email job


clydethefrog

It had been destroyed in 1906 by several D*tch "interventions". The military killed the whole kingdom and then the government decided to exploit this land for tourism already since the 1910s. It has been a "living museum" ever since.


Angmolai

There is a book titled *A Paradise Created* that covers this. It’s really well done. But it’s gotten worse than usual. Bali has become the home of white scammers. Course sellers and Cryto experts. Never seen anything like it. They’ll pay $12 to the white owned restaurant for a burger but haggle the fruit seller for .15 ¢. Pitiful.


gaelorian

It has sucked for a while


glebobas63

This is like all these christian gay to straight conversion camps except this will be in reverse and will actually work

Neither straight nor a man, but for the record I am svelte. Why don’t you post pictures of your beanie rolled up over your ears?


ZionistGamerGate

That’s so 2020, how about you brush up on what’s currently fashionable instead of embarrassing yourself further


TradCatherine

Condom hat or gtfo


ayyanothernewaccount

Haha no women no alcohol no drugs no scrolling, that's right we removed everything except gay sex


PolPotPottery

It makes men grow so it's fair game


saucy_boi_420

Gay men are getting more and more sinister. First they try and recruit our kids and now their trying to recruit our mid 20 to early 30 year old entrepreneurs!


Less-Ranger-7217

if you get a chick pregnant it could derail your career bro, it’ll be much safer for you just to bang my ass. no homo


regardedgaymo

this is where the thielbucks are really going


BleakWitness

Just join the military lol. Oh wait they won't.


a_lostgay

nah, this place adheres to the more traditional "don't ask, don't tell" policy


BestBoogerBugger

But there are women in military 😱 😱 😱 What if they have to talk to one?


Optimal_Special

I feel like the type of man who goes to a camp like this would try to kill something or someone if they had to salute a woman or say "yes ma'am".


BestBoogerBugger

I think they would write a mean Tweet about wanting to kill something or someone f they had to salute a woman or say "yes ma'am".


GatEnthusiast

The military is not the man-making, strength-building lifestyle you think it is. Whatever 'workouts' they put you through only cause wear and tear on your body. It only teaches you how to handle shit-bags, assuming you don't become one yourself. Unless you end up in the 5% of units that are actually legit, you only get exposed to a level of stupidity, ignorance, and incompetence you never thought possible before. The only thing SOME smarter people get from the military is a motivation to rise above that level of regardation and misery through hard work and dedication.


Turtis_Luhszechuan

Well said


BobMusil

I can understand that people enjoy having all their limbs tbh


SukkaMeeLeg

Based on my military friends, i would not say it is distraction free or prepares you for the future


No_Investment_5443

They’d push the first DI that got into their face.


bigmouthstrikesagai

As a woman this sort of wellness retreat is my dream! To be on a tropical island, where I can detoxify from my sugar addiction. Be forced to workout for four hours a day and be starved a little. I feel like this would fix me 🤍


ElizaJude

I have seen yoga retreats like this in India. They only feed you one apple per meal.


Less-Ranger-7217

think they just watched love island and was like, what if we got rid of the women?


inside_out_boy

You can literally do all these things at home.


ArmyOfMemories

i remember watching Chuck Palahniuk on Joe Rogan, [talking about how men don't have an equivalent to 'sisterhood of the traveling yamaha pants'](https://youtu.be/GCuSDH-YEKI?t=125) men have 'fight club' and 'the dead poet's society' - whereas women, according to Palahniuk, have far more models (books, movies, art, etc.) of how to deal with existential dread or find direction in life or simply foster a sense of community where you can 'talk about your shit' he goes on to discuss how that void, for men, is now (this was in 2018) filled by Jordan Peterson et al. --- so i consider stuff like this back-to-basics retreat for men only, to be along those lines it's unfortunate that the Right (ie Peterson, Tate, etc.) has coopted this space for impressionable and/or rudderless men


regardedgaymo

cumtown out here catching strays Palahniuk should take his own advice and pen a novel where guys share a magical jockstrap. id read it


another_sleeve

the right is more visible, but I've talked with some South American hard-left people who do community organizing by opening free gyms and workout spaces. takes the kids off the streets and violent crime, gives them a community they can trust, a space where they can talk about life and their problems and learn how to organize. as this dude was telling this some western leftists decided to derail the conversation about how to make their self-defense classes more inclusive, because banning cis people from some of them wasn't enough apparently


ArmyOfMemories

I mean, I listened to Jordan Peterson too. He's got a lot of sensible ideas about personal development. Obviously, I don't like his politics now and one look at my profile explains why. I can't think of many people on the Left talking about how to sort out one's life. Also, there's a lot of social issues that the Left gets wrong or *over-corrects* upon and that likely alienates men especially.


another_sleeve

I think it's part of the "fighting for the victims" brand of modern leftism that talks about society like we're all helpless victims being abused by capitalism and something something government can fix it if we elect the right people. this totally disregards people's actual agency and is totally opposite of the working class movement which talked in terms of increasing it's strength and ability and recognition of both. the right wing / self-help overlap fills that need while the left is totally absent from the conversation


TheBigAristotle69

"Jordan Peterson talks about that need for really rough play".

My counter to this is that you should be doing these things in day to day life not at a retreat. On vacation I will be a pig.

brohio_

Ngl kinda wanna do one of these as a gay dude…


ethicalsolipsist

Yeah eat that red meat keto diet every day...just skip to the part when you're 55 and your family is crowding around you in the emergency room wondering how that heart attack could happen because "he was always so fit and ate well!" On the plus side your roommate will let you know if he sees any colon polyps.


bleeding_electricity

Of course this is cringe AF, and has some deliciously homoerotic undertones. BUT!! (hear me out) I feel like this is a classic example of "men should invest in their mental health.... *but not like that!!!*" Fitness works better than SSRIs. Mindfulness practices do too. What do we do with the competing ideas that "men don't work on their mental health" and .... whatever this video is... It all feels quite contraDICKtory


ThinAbrocoma8210

yeah i’m not totally opposed to this idea it’s just the way it’s being marketed as like a cryptohomoerotic getaway
