About the new Become a Man! section

posted by Eivind on October 7, 2010, at 7:36 pm

Hey Guys,

This weekend, I started setting up a new section of the site. I called it Become a man!. I wondered to myself if the name was cheesy or inspiring. What do you think?

Anyway, on this part of the site, I intend to bring you information about great products that you can buy online to kickstart your work towards a mature manhood. Trust me when I say I’ve been through a fair share of these already, including pretty much everything that the Authentic Man Program have to offer.

Speaking of which, they’re doing a hardcore integrity immersion experience now called “The List”. I have signed up for it. So has my buddy Peter (the dude who wrote the article about Gnosticism). Wanna join me?

And if you know of any other great programs to feature on the Become a man! section, please don’t hesitate to tell me.

Cheers!
