That logic doesn't actually work out in reality.

I've known plenty of unattractive guys who had plenty of sex just because they were social and persistent... and slept with less discerning women. 

The issue is that most men have this inaccurate belief that women are universally picky about sex... and that that's why a high body count means something objective about a man's level of desirability to women in general.

And men tend to want to hold onto that illusion that sleeping with women means something about their level of attractiveness, values, Masculinity, worth, etc.

But there is a sizable minority of women who aren't picky at all. So, getting low-discernment women to sleep with you means literally nothing about your level of general attractiveness. (And to clarify, there are low and high discernment women of all levels of physical attractiveness)

So, the idea that a man having a lay-count means something about his level of attractiveness isn't true. 

So no. There are TONS of very unattractive men getting laid... and it doesn't qualify them as attractive.

Case in point... the guy that this thread is about. 

And it's a nice compliment that you think I'm very conscious, but I am still a woman and my perspective on men would be shared by many women. 

And there are plenty of scrubs getting laid and plenty of low-discernment women willing to accept them. But that doesn't make the scrubs attractive. 

i have to mostly disagree with you on this 

if a guy sleeps with a lot of ATTRACTIVE women (c'mon, we know what they look like, let's not kidd ourselves), that guy is for all intents and purposes attractive

BUT like you mentioned, unattractive men CAN get laid. and that is because:

1. they themselves are undiscerning as to who they fuck (e.g. stooping as low as 2-3)

2. the ones that would be traditionally deemed as "unattractive" (e.g. fat, short, bald, etc.) can still be attractive to women (even high-quaity ones) due to strong social skills, vibe, and demeanour

and as for john anthony, he is a tall 6' 4" white guy who is a really smart dude. so he's able to effectively demonstrate that in his approaches (e.g. convincing command, wit, bragging about shit he's done, etc.). so while he isn't a traditionally good-looking dude, he would be attractive to high-quality women due qualities that women resonate more with 

in short, yes "unattractive guys" getting laid doesn't NECESSARILY make them attractive. but you cannot be an unattractive guy if you are sleeping with attractive women (which i have  no doubt john does, even if his "2000+"  lay count is exaggerated)

Was any reason given for the take down?

Did he take it down himself or YT did?

word on the street is some other dating guru on youtube had his fanbase mass report him (probably copyright infringement?)

not 100% sure about this by any means, but i doubt youtube would ban him for something he said or an infield he uploaded (he's lasted too long for that not to happen already, and he's also toned down his content considerably over the years)

@Emerald I too am slightly confused with your take here. There may be a nuance or context you are operating from that hasn't been stated.

If a woman consensually sleeps with a man - she must perceive him as attractive. Unconscious or conscious.

Whether that be looks, social status, intellect, wit, charm, humor. Something in his character is attracting her.

Whether it is low consciousness (she has anxious attachment and is attracted to avoidant men, she has had trauma and mistakes love for adrenaline, she has low self esteem and negging makes her approval seeking) attraction or high consciousness does not matter.

There is still something there attracting her. That she is matching to within the man.

Unless you are referring to the sort of axis relating solely to the physical - IE a woman will sleep with a man who she finds physically unappealing due to his humor, intellect etc. But this is still attraction to the man. 

My perspective comes from a woman who has never slept with a man I found unattractive. And I have experienced no sexual assault. And my frame is one of enthusiastic consent with the above. 

I can only think of outlier cases being exclusions. IE a woman feeling she owes it to the man but doesn't like/feel attracted to him. Or feeling guilted into sex.

@Natasha Tori Maru great ideas! And this concludes Leos attractive but not necessarily great. 

To be great in this rotten society you might give up attractiveness. You will have less social status and social skills due to Isolation, might have less humor, you might not be interested into small talk that much anymore, you might not have that much money etc. and truth alone won't get you laid that much. You might  get passionate about very "shady" but true ideas that if you tell them you might get rejected. And wise women sometimes sense when you hold back shit. Or you yourself might not get arroused by most women anymore

My personal experience with physical attractiveness mattering for women is that it does not matter that much. Now I am getting a bit bald but in my 20s I had perfect hairline, 192 cm tall, athletic, nice face and all that. Almost no woman flipped an eye to that until she found me funny, safe, high status, or whatever. In the club they use to notice me more due to height. Very rarely I got flirting looks by  women that didn't know me yet. Today I feel that women care a lot more about the man being safe and sound, and funny and intelligent of course. Maybe those club girls that only look after sex might care more about looks because all they want is you body. Attractive women have so many options these days that looks alone cannot compete. It is a plus not a decisive factor as in women's case.

if men beg a woman for sex long enough then she can feel bad and give it to them. Pity sex

That's not a thing. Women don't give pity sex.

John is claiming it’s because he made a video about some blackpill guy and he directed his audience to mass report him.

However ice white from game global said he used to work for google and implied he was involved.

Official Reason from YouTube

According to YouTube's policies (as detailed in their Harassment & Cyberbullying guidelines and Channel Termination policy), the ban was due to repeated and severe violations of community guidelines. Key issues included:

• Harassment and targeting individuals: Repeatedly insulting, abusing, and targeting identifiable people (e.g., other creators or critics) based on "intrinsic attributes" like physical appearance, across multiple videos.
• Dehumanizing content: Using extreme insults (e.g., comparing someone to an animal) or editing real photos of individuals onto violent or harmful scenes to mock or harm them.
• Inciting hostility for gain: Persistently stirring conflicts between creators, often for personal financial benefit (e.g., promoting his courses or monetizing drama).
• Overall pattern: YouTube allows termination for a single severe violation or repeated offenses, especially if the channel's content is dedicated to such behavior.

Does anyone know what happened to karizma king?

The truth is that only 5% or less of the audience of every dating guru will take enough action to have success, so there is always the chance of beign acused of fraud by your own audience.

As great as humans get.

It's funny that Christians worship a hermit as God but they themselves all just social zombies.

So the intelligent thing to do is to get through enough socialization asap so one can move on and naturally value higher spiritual stuff? Is that a good way of putting it?

Of course. Take care of your basics and burn through your karma.

[Hojo]

@Leo GuraI heard a woman before say they gave it to man. They have a friend they arent attracted too a friend but feel bad that they are trying so hard so they do it.

I wouldn't put it that way. Relax, enjoy, take your time.

I hope you are just saying this in isolation and not applying it as some life philosophy.

Because this is really a crossroads of ego and meaning talking. If you are chasing greatness for something in return - it's all ego. The moment you don't get what you want you are left with a hollow feeling. When you choose greatness it is because excellence feels like alignment: it is who you are.

The truth is you don't always get anything lasting 'in return' for being great. You become something from it. That is the real transformative transaction. The process is where all the good stuff is.

I think it's better to be honest with ourselves. 

If you are putting in all this effort for people to see you as great, without getting anything tangible in return, it's a waste of effort.

My whole point is that it's a better life strategy that will lead to better outcomes.

You will get a lot of things by prioritizing becoming a great man over optimizing yourself to sleep with lots of women... including better relationship options.

It's really the key to living a good life and being respected within the wider community.

The side effect of prioritizing being a great man is that women will be more attracted to you in a deeper way and respect you more. And you can parlay that into a great relationship and great marriage. 

Again, what's the point of being attractive and great if a woman marries another man. Completely pointless. 

[How to be wise]

@Leo Gura How long till you fix the blog problem.

Why not hire someone to look into the issue?

Well there's your issue - you do it for your own greatness. Not for other people to see you that way.You'll be locked in ego with a glass ceiling for growth

Can't escape the rat wheel with that mindset.

Women just want to be taken care of. And if they deny so they assuredly agree they are not taking care of any man. Attraction and body count amounts to cash in the bank. Or at least presenting the appearance of one who can take care of her and her needs. Drunk sex and mercy sex being some exceptions that over time make her feel a loser,
