Why Most Men Are Still in Survival Mode

Most men won’t admit this out loud… but it’s the reason dating feels exhausting right now.

If you’ve been grinding, “focused on yourself,” or saying you just want peace… there’s a chance you’re not thriving — you’re in survival mode. And it’s showing up in your choices, your patience, and your relationships.

In this Straight From Da Chair episode, we start celebrating 300+ subscribers… then the conversation flips into a raw barbershop breakdown of what men are dealing with right now:

* Why dating apps burn you out (and change how you view people)
* The bar scene… and what it really signals
* “Body count” debates after 30 (and why people lie about it)
* Are we building relationships… or using placeholders?
“ I just want peace” — is that maturity or avoidance?
* Survival mode vs thriving: how to tell which one you’re in
* What loyalty actually means when life gets hard

This isn’t a “nice” conversation. It’s the kind of talk that gets people heated — because it’s too close to the truth.

If you’re a man trying to level up, date smarter, or stop repeating the same cycles… you don’t want to miss this one.
