Real life skills are the biggest flex

Right then guys I want to talk to you about what driving around Europe taught me and I've done it twice now. I've driven, I've driven around Europe plenty but I've done two major major journeys maybe yeah two major journeys and I'm probably going to do a third one very very soon. I'm talking very soon. It will be done by the time you watch this it might even come out as a separate vlog which will be very fun. But what it taught me is that the things that we kind of care about and the things that we hold up on a pedestal like having a Lamborghini you know the things like making as much money as possible they're good because they give you freedom in life and I definitely encourage you guys to make as much as you can because then you can have a better lifestyle but the real sense of self the real worth the real things that get praised in my opinion is like something that I think is actually a way bigger flex is like European map knowledge knowing where all the best restaurants are going across three countries and being able to three speak all three languages that's a flex like I knew where the car garages were the petrol stations were the gas stations I was like I think there's one up here on the right that's a way bigger flex like I would rather know three languages than have like a 50 grand Rolex in my opinion that's just me I just think that's way better I would rather have read a thousand books and have all that knowledge than have like a Lamborghini and I know people would be like oh it's too like that's very Tai Lopez in nature I would I'm telling you now like it's so much more of a flex like I don't know I would rather have like three houses around the world that are all like yeah they're pretty good they're pretty nice but they're in three different locations than have a baller one in one location like I don't know I don't know what it is I just think that's so much better I think like having that European map knowledge and knowing where to drive being accomplished in real life stuff it's almost like you know if somebody can survive they can start a fire they can hunt they can catch fish they can skin a rabbit they can do lamping and stuff like that and it's just like that's ******* cool that person's that person's a human do you know what I mean like they know how to survive they're like a secret agent they're like James Bond 007 they can go anywhere and blend in they can go anywhere and just adapt to the culture like I remember when I was walking around Marrakesh for a what am I trip on my own the day before I always try and get there a day earlier than everyone to make sure everything's okay and I was strolling around on my own and I was like I don't feel unsafe I was like this is ******* amazing like I'm in Marrakesh on my own just walking around just like I don't know just exploring it was almost like a new frontier I'm like okay let me like what do they speak they speak Arabic and French I was I wonder if I've got any French in the bag from school like let me see what I can do you know and then you just remember how to order a coffee and stuff and you start do you know it just comes together you're like I wonder what's around this corner I wonder where the best places are I wonder what the kind of vibe of the people is I wonder what the humor is and you just kind of blend in and just get stuck in like there was nothing more fun I was on foot walking through the medina and I was like I feel safe I feel fine like people say you're gonna get robbed and I'm like this is so much fun so if I ever went back I'm like oh it's this way go down here this restaurant's amazing don't go here there's an amazing place down here having that knowledge and a few little sentences that you can say in the actual language that they speak there that's such a win I love that I think European map knowledge European knowledge in general where the restaurants are you know how to act when you go to these restaurants how to dress that for me trumps like having a ******* every day of the week I would choose that over that every single time and then like I said having a Rolex versus speaking three languages give me the three languages every single day of the week like we're prioritizing materialistic stuff over actual skill sets we're prioritizing like the wow factor over something that nobody's really had to do anything for it's so easy to get a car it's so easy to get a watch it's so easy to buy like a Gucci bag or a Birkin bag for a woman but whatever happens of putting effort in and like understanding your woman and knowing what she likes what she's into and planning a whole day out a whole week out and organizing everything and spoiling her for a birthday like a Birkin is just I bought you a Birkin there we go that's like real that's like you're my side hoe behavior I bought you a Birkin like keep you happy whereas when it's like I'm we've lost that we've lost real skills like the ability to travel sweet languages know where you're going feel safe in any country have bank accounts set up in many places around the world and be like no we'll be fine don't worry about it I actually speak a little bit of Italian we should be fine I'll navigate I'll ask this guy in there if I saw somebody do that I'd be like you're the ******* man you are actually the man even if they were like yeah I only make like four grand a month I'd be like I don't care like you're just the man like who you are as a person you know if somebody said to me I used to be in the SAS and I've got like these kind of crazy fight skills I know how to get out of a hostage situation I know how to get out of a country within 24 hours I know I'd be like you're really ******* cool I like you but you just got these talents that like nobody else has like you have real world skills that's what I'm trying to get at like anybody can go and buy an expensive car anybody can get one on finance anybody can sit there with a nice watch on and look cool in a Gucci shirt you know anybody can rent a woman for the night and just try and take some photos and smoke a cigar but it's like men are turning into like poster children do you know what I mean we're almost just like we're almost just like trying to be like when people say oh he's the poster boy for the brands like he's the poster boy for the club and it's like yeah but is he a good footballer is he actually a good athlete is he actually a good player or does he just look good because I don't want to just look good I'm a man I don't care about like I'll look I'll look mean I'll look like a ******* terrorist like Hamza Chamayev said I'll take that but it's like I want real skills I want to know I can start a fire I want to know I can hunt I want to know I can fish I want to know I can you know set my life up in different places around the world I want to know I can protect people I want to know I can access money in different areas of the world I can get out of a country within 24 hours I have contacts to do that like that's cool I want to know that I can land in any part of the world and I know a little bit of the language I love that I want to know that I'm not that with all due respect the obnoxious American and even Brits now we're awful at it but like the obnoxious American that goes to I don't know that he's sat in like in Spain or something he's doing that to the waiter waiter waiter and it's like we don't really do that here mate like relax calm down like to understand the culture and be able to adapt to different scenarios I was sat next to these two I think they were Jewish guys in Madrid and they were like this is unacceptable and I was like shut up man they were talking to the waitresses and stuff and I was like shut up just get involved like this is their culture it's a little bit slower just embrace it it is what it is just like Bruce Lee said be like water that means so like I think being like water should be praised twice as heavily as like some guys like yeah I'm rich it's like yeah what am I I'm happy for you that's amazing but kind of who are you what do you do like are you just a rich idiot you know if society collapsed tomorrow and your money disappeared would you just be some guy because you would you know if if war broke out tomorrow and all your money was seized who would you be you would just be some guy and it's like I don't want to just be some guy with money then if the money disappeared I wouldn't be that guy anymore it's like I want to know that if I was a millionaire if a billionaire or if I was broke I'd still be the same guy I'd still have the same skills if we had a zombie apocalypse tomorrow at least I could like I've got some archery skills I know how to shoot a gun you know I'm pretty good with a knife you know that sort of ---- I'd be like yeah that's cool I've got safe houses up in the woods we're gonna be fine I've got uh I've got stocks of supplies up there to last us at least three years like that's a flex that's what it taught me driving around Europe like having this knowledge the language knowledge being the type of guy that can adapt to any scenario that can be like water why are we praising the simple ---- like ah he's got a watch he's got a really nice watch it's worth 250,000 pounds it's really expensive it is this guy's loaded he's loaded he is great watch this thanks mate see ya now where's his identity gone oh he's got a really nice car ah now he doesn't have a really nice car do you see what I mean it's just like he's just so fickle why are we planting our flag on things that are just so temporary now can you have nice stuff yeah it doesn't make you a bad person but don't make it your whole agenda don't make it your whole identity don't sit there and be like this is who I am as an individual like up your skill what happened to skills we don't have skills anymore we don't read we don't learn languages like nobody knows how to read a map anymore nobody actually has real talents everybody's brain is just like mush and everyone's impressed by you know the simplest ---- a big pair of boobs everyone's like nice it's just like hang on a minute we used to we used to you know challenge people like women in the in the past they used to be beautiful women but they've used to be accomplished you look at the actresses from yesteryear they used to have like qualifications they used to you know be well spoken well dressed they used to actually have charisma whereas now it's like she's hot I'm going to sign up to her only fans this is what are we doing man like we've actually lost real skills abilities and identity like everyone's just a clone of one each one another everyone's just buying all the same ---- looks the same dresses the same she's like what are we doing man like try and try and find some level of identity try and increase your skill set try and become a more versatile man that can travel about the world and can actually handle himself in multiple situations test yourself challenge yourself get outside of miami get outside of dubai see if you can survive in the wilds go for a hike go camping for a few days just see what you can do if you can't survive then you just know you're a little bit of a useless human you just have a bit of money in your account that somebody pays you every month maybe from a job or you know you've got a few clients what does that mean it just means you've done well in one area well done it's good and it bridges into everything else but it means nothing on its own become a human of substance I would like I don't know where the world is going but I'm telling you now the biggest flex is having those real world skills the skills that allow you to navigate life that any situation that happens you are prepared for it those are the people that are going to rule the world in the next few years because everyone becomes skillless and everyone becomes a scared little anxiety filled puppy they're all going to turn to people like that and be like lead us what do I do like people are already doing masculinity boot camps that tells you everything you need to know about where the future of men and society is going in general
