Synopsis

"We live in a time in which males are all adrift at how to properly 'become men.' Books are written on the subject, and seminars are frequently conducted by ostensible gurus of masculinity. But most of these books and seminars focus not on manliness per se, but on the achievement of “high status” manliness. The guys entering into this course of “study” don’t typically want to just become men; rather, they ache to transform themselves into high-rolling alpha male studmuffins—they crave, in short, to become the sort of men who are wanted by women and envied by other men. What they seek is thus not really “manhood,” but rather a certain flavor of triumphant and triumphalist masculinity, the masculinity of “winning.” They seek to attain high status. It is status, more than money or even sex, that men covet the most in other men. That is to say, they covet the fact that other men besides themselves are the ones being coveted."
