The Current Thing

Tanner Guzy - Masculinity and the Culture War


Listen Later

Fascinating and informative discussion on masculinity, style, and the culture war with men’s style expert, Tanner Guzy.
Tanner talks about:
-Why caring about style and fitness have become almost political acts
-Why he sees his work as ‘appearance psychology’  
-How the lack of a homogeneous western culture affects our style choices
-How we’ve come to see men’s style as effeminate, when historically the warrior class cared the most about appearance 
-Why we need to ditch the cynical Gen-X mindset on making an effort with our appearance and other areas of life 
-Why you have to ‘summit cringe mountain to reach the valley of cool’
-Why we must realise that style is a visual language 
-How Roger Scruton’s views on beauty apply to personal style 
-Where he starts with men who are struggling with their style, and why clothing is only one part of the process 
-Why he works with new clients for two months before they even look at any clothes 
-Why just changing to better clothes won’t work if they don’t feel authentic to you 
-How his own style has evolved from custom suiting to something very different 
-Why understanding style is an enjoyable journey, not a chore 
-His style breakdowns of Jordan Peterson, Donald Trump, Andrew Tate, and Daniel Craig
-His take on the ‘personal uniform’ favoured by people like Steve Jobs
-Why men are too concerned about comfort when it comes to style
-The irony that all clothes were custom made prior to industrialisation    
-How people can dress well on a budget 
-His take on Red Pill vs Tradcon 
-How he teaches style to his kids 
-Why winning the culture war requires that we build rather than just react 
And lots more!
