Kevin Samuels was the first real older person I've seen not related to me to actually show me their process of getting good at their craft. You watch his first videos on youtube compared to his last video and it's like night and day. Bruh was trash as a youtuber and then became Kevin Samuels through consistency, the humility and self-awareness to be able to look inward and make the necessary day to day adjustments, networking and dedication. Most dudes like to hide their work and pretend they were that fukking guy out the gate and try to pretend like it was nothing to them to become who they are today...Kevin Samuels actually showed and told you what it takes to get good at what you do. Even in his latest videos, the idea of integrating youtube, facebook and instagram in one stream, that's growth, evolution and continually looking inward at what you can be doing better and we can see in his stream his growing pains, mistakes, etc.

If you took something positive out of his message like how to conduct & build yourself to be successful. That's great. The disconnect really comes from his followers. I've been ridiculed because I don't fall in the "fuxk American black women" line.

The way some of yall speak on black women is ridiculous.

I talked to a male friend about this earlier this morning and it was interesting discussion. He gave me his POV on the manosphere culture.

Anyways I don’t want to start another thread on him but just want to find out from Brehs—what about his message really resonated with y’all? Was it that bw need to not be baby mamas and vet men better? That bw need to lose weight? That bw need to be more submissive? As far as accountability goes how did he hold women accountable—was it telling women to adjust their expectations of the men they think they deserve based on the poor decisions they’ve made during their lives that make them less deserving of said men? What did y’all want bw to take away from his content—what changes did y’all want to see in bw?

When he pivoted towards women, he simply held yall to the standard that everyone holds us to. The episode where he spoke about Cosmopolitan magazine is a must watch.

The Truth
Honestly, I only watched one vid and ironically it was over this past weekend…

And I didn’t even get through all of it. Only so much I could listen to

everything else was clips on the internet. I don’t know if he talked to other races of women but specifically it seemed like a lot of bw are a lost cause who seems to think they deserve the type of men that are literally like 1% of the male population as a whole.

I learned that money seems to be very important to the type of women that called in. I knew that coming in though, which is why I always presented myself as someone who didn’t have that much to see who would truly rock with me.

As sad as it made me feel about the 30+ dating scene for a black man, it was funny at times. I did like how he was honest to men too.

What I did notice is that because of this, most women that fukk with black men of any race feel like this too. I think as black men we need to have higher standards for ourselves and for the women we choose to lay with no matter the race.

This. I’ve seen him flame men too in clips it just didn’t go as viral.

I think men can take harsh criticism a lil better though. The women seemed to not want to take any accountability for anything in their lives. This happens in real life too.

Females be damn near 30, never married or divorced with kids from multiple baby fathers but running around like they’re God’s gift to a man because of looks (which have faded), the scarcity of quality women in that area, or because of how many simps are in their inbox trying to get a nut.


Meanwhile, a man can be single, handsome, no kids, making close to 6 figures and get treated like nothing simply based off appearances or lack of “clout”.

Doesn’t mean all women though, but the ones that called in seemed like they were gluttonous for punishment.

I’m not really a fashion guy so sometimes I did feel like maybe I need to upgrade my wardrobe going out, but thats about it.

I personally feel as if maybe I’m not viewed as a high value man based off looks. Making decent money, have been called a lot of positive things by women and men, but seemingly never good enough. It almost makes me think that a lot of these women that called in really didn’t want a “high value man”, they wanted what they got based off actions and just like to complain about men.

Like, how you want a man thats in shape, 6 feet tall, making 6 figures when you yourself are out of shape, carrying baggage from previous relationship decisions, living check to check, etc.


Just reinforced my belief that women who mainly look to black men for relationships really over value themselves. And when that man has options or doesn’t view that woman like she does herself, then it’s the men that’s the problem. Like if a man has flaws it’s pronounced but a womans flaws are supposed to be overlooked.

Out here in my damn drawls
Learned more from the reaction to him than anything he's said

He basically came in the game, threw water on gremlins and they lost their minds

Listen to those calls
Those women and men legitimately didn't understand why no one wanted them


There isn't alot of self-awareness out here

That black women don't like you because you're corny and lame, and Pookie and Ray Ray can fukk your bytch because you're a swaggerless beta male provider. :yeshrug:
Yeah, what they perceived as lame. Women like the ones that called in literally have a skewed outlook on life and themselves.

The chick I watched literally had a good man at home, a provider, but wanted to divorce him for her ex because the ex had more “clout”… was more looked up to in the streets and was what she considered “high value”..

Meanwhile, she had kids with that other man who worked at the shipyard making good money and she wasn’t satisfied. He actually watched the video and was embarrassed.

Then she said she made it up by buying him a new cellphone… p*ssy and willingness to buy him a cellphone was equal to everything he’s done in that marriage.


Women like her place value of a man in shallow shyt in height, popularity, and money.. i knew that already but he called them out for it. So I respected that part

Apparently if you shyt on black women, specifically overweight black women with children from different fathers, you can get a following very quickly.

There was another breh that was a youtube star that thecoli liked too, that did the same exact thing and he had a following. Tommy something.

Don't worry breh, there will be a new Kevin Samuels in a couple of months to fill the void.
