The advice does play into classic masculine stereotypes though. Almost like a movie trope where the hopeless nerd finds out he really was a cool jock the entire time.
Throw away your nerdy shit, get ripped in the gym, learn martial arts and dress well.
All that’s fine if that’s what you want but I don’t think it’s particularly aspirational for everyone. Even if elements like regular exercise and broadened activities are pretty universal good advice.
It’s also of it’s time and reading this feels like a lot of the advice givers are quite a bit older. The generation in their early twenties have different social mores and aspirations.
And hard as it may be to learn even ripped dudes that are snappy dressers can be depressed and can feel stuck in life.
