Psychological Analysis of Top Gun 2: Masculinity, Grief Work, & Acceptance


Listen Later

Men these days think masculinity means one-upmanship and being the “alpha” of the group. Or worse - they think masculinity is inherently toxic. 

Both these views are flawed and lead to crippled self-worth. 

If you want to become a self-fulfilled man, it helps to reflect and observe others. Surprisingly, observing Top Gun teaches you valuable lessons on masculinity - if you view it through an educated lens. 

In this episode, you’ll discover how watching Top Gun lets you accept yourself and reach your full, confident potential. 

Show Highlights Include:

  • How Tom Cruise teaches you how to pick up quality women (without pretending to be a high-energy alpha) (3:29)
  • The “triangular gaze” technique that ramps up sexual tension between you and the object of your desire (8:28)
  • The “weaponized vulnerability” method that disarms defensive women (11:46)
  • A popular pick-up artist method that kills your chances of landing “the one” (even if every PUA tells you to do it) (13:14)
  • How to become more attractive to the opposite sex by avoiding the “do more trap” (19:48)
  • The “little sibling” strategy that lets you handle aggressive men with maturity (21:08)
  • How to grow as a man without getting burned out by relentless “self improvement” (40:15)
