It's a book about becoming a "man".
It's pretty good so far. Hopefully it has some practical advise, however.
ION, messaging lots of girls online.
I now give out my number and tell them to text me as a test of compliance. 3 numbers given out but no texts so far.
Lol, Iron John is mostly metaphorical. There's no straight up "advise" but if you can read between the lines it's quite powerful.
From memory, there were 8 steps to becoming a man and the first was symbolised by "stealing the key from underneath the mother's pillow" which describes a boys first step towards manhood when he starts to do something secretive or hidden from his mother (whatever part of your personality that may be).
Guys who never take this step, who continue to reveal all of themselves to their mums end up being stuck as "mummy's boys".
It's an interesting read on the journey of manhood and hopefully you get something out of it.
Damn. Metaphorical shit. ><
Yeah ok.
I'm not a mommy's boy. My brother is tho, and he gets laid like crazy so I guess I can stop reading that book.
Thanks for weighing in and saving me the time.
I bet your brother probably doesn't tell your mum about his lays. Having a good relationship with ones mum isn't the same as being a "mummy's boy". Yeah I didn't think you'd be interested. Wanting "advise" is a very conscious mind type process. Reading and understanding metaphor is the opposite (subconscious mind).
