Every man needs that one story, that one achievement that they can fall back on. Even if no one else appreciates it, it'll be there for you. As you said, most men don't get that in their life and you can see how broken so many's self esteem is. Heck most are so fucked up they can't even appreciate it when they have it (like a lot of speedrunners). Most of us live our life without having an achievement nearly as unique and skillful as this guy, and I hope he feels that in his soul.

That's something guys like Walsh never understand. Because to them, the only barometers of success and "being a real man" are money and fame. Which is certainly one source of that greatness, but also a very vapid and easily lost one (while being hard to obtain). And the more guys who chase it, the higher the bar becomes to even reach something notable.

Its the same old "men should be dancing monkeys, women's attraction is god" from Feminism, repackaged as a "you don't want to be cringe/beta, do you?" for Right-leaning men. You can't enjoy something that isn't Woman Approved Good in your life, you must only have hobbies and a lifestyle that appeals to them.
