Unconscious Competence—How Overthinking Blocks Greatness

By Ryan M. Maes Leave a Comment

Stylized, poster-style image of Michael Jackson and Bruce Lee posing together.

True mastery begins where thinking ends.

Bruce Lee. Michael Jackson.
Different worlds. Same truth:
Don't overthink. Don't perform. BECOME.

At the highest level, you're not following moves or reciting steps.
You're not even doing it.

You ARE it.

"Don't think. FEEL. It is like a finger pointing away to the moon.
Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory."
— Bruce Lee, Enter the Dragon

"Thinking is the biggest mistake a dancer could make.
You have to feel. You become the bass. You become a fanfare.
You become the clarinet and the flute and the strings and the drums."
— Michael Jackson

There's no ego. No strain. No self-consciousness.
Just being. Just truth.
Just the moment, expressing itself—

THROUGH YOU.

"To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday.
From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow."
— Commonly attributed to Bruce Lee

"I feel blessed to be the instrument through which music flows.
It's as if the song was already written—before I was born.
I'm just the vessel. It doesn't come from me.
It's God's work. I'm just the messenger."
— Michael Jackson

This is effortless, raw AUTHENTICITY—received from above.
Not just in art,
but in conversation, in tension, in connection.
With people. With pressure. With women. With LIFE.

That kind of awareness doesn't push itself through.

It FLOWS.

"I don't force it.
I just step into it.
It's like stepping into a river and joining the flow.
Every moment in the river has its song."
— Michael Jackson, Moonwalk (1988)

"Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water…
You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup…
Water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend."
— Bruce Lee

Water doesn't resist. It adapts.
It doesn't react. It RESPONDS.
It meets reality without resistance—
and moves perfectly through it.

This is UNCONSCIOUS COMPETENCE in motion:
Like a waking dream—fluid, present, FREE.

No mind. No mask. No pretense.
Just clarity. Just rhythm.
Just YOU—fully present.

Fully ALIVE.

"Honestly expressing yourself—now, that is very difficult to do. It's easy to put on a show, to be cocky, or to show some fancy movement. But to experience oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to express myself honestly—now that, my friend, is very hard to do."
— Bruce Lee

No More "Pink Pill"

By Ryan M. Maes

A glowing pink pill floating in the darkness of space, surrounded by faint stars and a soft halo of light.

"When men follow female social media influencers for masculine advice, they subconsciously elevate women to a position of authority, reinforcing a feminine-primary, submissive frame within themselves—one that feminizes them in an insidious, nearly undetectable way."
— The God Pill

You've been surrounded by female voices your entire life.

From the moment you were born...

Your mother.

Your nurse.

Teachers.

Girlfriends.

Wives.

Even the media and entertainment around you, shaped by a FEMINIZED lens.

When it comes to being a MAN, do you really need to hear from another woman?

It's time to break free from female "advice gurus," gentlemen.

Remember:

Women have no barometer for the 👉 MALE EXPERIENCE 👈; they simply parrot what they’ve learned from MEN.

So get off the tit.

No more "Pink Pill" content!

To truly develop, you must break free from this pervasive feminine influence—

—and seek the guidance, wisdom, and counsel of MEN who genuinely understand what it means to be a MAN. 💪

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve."
— 1. Tim. 2:12-13, ESV

⚠️ P.S. Were you raised in a world dominated by female voices? Are you ready to break free from feminine conditioning and reclaim your masculine edge? Secure your complimentary one-on-one private session with me today, and together we’ll tackle this head-on with a proven, step-by-step strategy to help you overcome the unique challenges of being a man.

Short Kings: Winning Even When You're Not Six Feet Tall

By Ryan M. Maes

A tiny man walking hand-in-hand with a towering woman down city streets, the height discrepancy creating an absurd and oddly comical contrast.

"In the theater of attraction, height steals the show."
— The God Pill

According to most women, the most desirable height for a man is six feet tall (or taller)—a criterion met by only about 14.5% of all U.S. men.

However, since most of us do not meet this requirement, the basic rule of thumb is this:

Be Taller Than She Is.

Again, just be taller than she is.

Most women will date a taller man—

—but they won't date a SHORTER MAN.

For example, if she's 5'8" and you're only 5'6", you might be DISQUALIFIED.

But if you're 5'6" and she's 5'2", you're in a good spot—as long as your money, muscles, game, and faith are on point.

So, make sure you're TALLER than she is—because women want to look UP, not DOWN; they want a SUPERIOR, not an EQUAL.

Now, in a perfect world, would most women prefer a man who is six feet tall?

ABSOLUTELY—let's not delude ourselves here.

But as long as you’re taller than she is, you're in a GOOD POSITION.

"God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God."
— 1 Cor. 1:27-29, ESV

Remember:

At the end of the day, you CAN'T control your height—

—but you CAN control your confidence, charisma, game, and frame.

So, live as if you are 6 FEET TALL, because you can't change it.

Always praise God for what you've been given—

—and DISREGARD the rest.

For when you are weak—

—👉 HE IS STRONG 👈.

"For [GOD] formed my inward parts; [He] knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise [Him], for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are [His] works; my soul knows it very well."
— Ps. 139:14, ESV

⚠️ P.S. Are you struggling with insecurity and self-doubt? As a fellow "short man," I faced real challenges meeting, attracting, and dating women. So, if you need help from someone who "gets it," secure your complimentary one-on-one private session with me now. Let's rekindle your confidence with a step-by-step, actionable strategy that works!

Do You Hate Women?

By Ryan M. Maes

An enraged man, shouting with intense emotion, his face flushed and eyes glaring, embodying red pill rage.

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
— Master Yoda

Listen…

Women can sense your NEGATIVITY a mile away—

—and it REPELS them.

And the more you repel women, the ANGRIER you become—

—and the angrier you become, the more you REPEL women, and so on.

It's a vicious circle, a negative feedback loop—a SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY.

This DOWNWARD SPIRAL feeds upon itself and compounds, TRAPPING you in a perpetual vortex of misery, despair, frustration, and LONELINESS...

...and a lonely, desperate, angry man is an UNATTRACTIVE man.

So, don't be a "neckbeard" and let 👉 "RED PILL RAGE" 👈 consume you.

It's up to you to BREAK the cycle. 💪

Whoever has ears, let them HEAR.

"A man who loves women is loved by women."
— Zan Perrion

"As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women."
— Song 2:2, ESV

⚠️ P.S. If "unplugging" is tearing you apart, you're not alone. I know how hard it is to find peace after your paradigm is shattered. So, if you need help overcoming "Red Pill Rage" and just want to feel normal again, secure your free one-on-one private session with me now.

Married and Flirty: Is She Ready to Cheat?

By Ryan M. Maes

A woman locking eyes with you in a seductive gaze, her attention simultaneously engaged with another man nearby.

"I met this married woman through cold approach and got her number. We text every day, and every time I try to flirt with her, she tells me to stop because she is married. We have a great connection; she tells me secrets, and I tell her mine. Will she ever leave her husband for me? I'm starting to fall for her, but she treats me as a friend. She gives me IOIs through text and invests in the conversation with me a lot. What does that mean? Is she thinking of cheating or just being friends with a stranger she never met?"
— Freddy Clemente, private group member

⚠️ PAUSE! ⚠️

Put the BRAKES on, my brother.

Get ahold of yourself.

Rise above your primal urges—

—and start thinking with the RIGHT HEAD.

👉 REPENT! 👈

Consider how following through with this fantasy will damage your INTEGRITY—

—your confidence, competence, and CONSCIENCE—

—and your VALUE as a man…

Is this the LEGACY you want to leave behind?

Is this the type of man you want to become?

Pursuing another man's wife is the definition of LOW-VALUE.

Don't be a BOTTOM FEEDER. 🦐

Stop lusting over low-hanging, FORBIDDEN FRUIT. 🍎🪱

A high-value man who has leveled up and done the work will always have OPTIONS—

—and, right now, it's clear you DON'T.

You are operating from SCARCITY because you haven't done the HARD WORK: you haven't leveled up your fitness, finances, finesse, and faith.

You haven't become a man you can be PROUD OF—

Remember:

"If she cheats with you, she'll cheat on you."

Again, if she cheats with you, she'll cheat ON YOU.

It’s true; she may cheat on her husband either way—with or without you—but that’s ON HER.

Don't be Satan's PAWN in her debauchery.

Never forget: What you sow in DEFIANCE, you'll reap in DESTRUCTION.

For of this you can be sure:

"Your sin will find you out" (Num. 32:23).

"But each [man] is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire."
— James 1:14, ESV

⚠️ P.S. If you're tired of living in desperation and scarcity, I don't blame you. I know I faced real challenges cultivating mental, physical, and spiritual abundance. So, if you want to stop chasing after "low-hanging fruit" and start meeting quality women who align with your values, secure your free one-on-one private session with me now.

You’ve Leveled Up, But Can You Win the Game?

By Ryan M. Maes

A man, dressed in a sleek suit and illuminated by heavenly light, encircled by a crowd of hopeful young virgins.

"Fairness means you get an opportunity; fairness does not mean you get an outcome. If hard work is all that's required, we would all be guaranteed success. But hard work only gets you to the dance; it doesn't guarantee a top spot. Hard work gets you the tryout; it doesn’t guarantee a position on the team. Hard work earns you an interview; it doesn't guarantee a job. So, be strong and courageous, and run with endurance the race that is set before you, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. For God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him."
— The God Pill

You've done the HARD WORK, have you?

You've made something of yourself.

Your money, muscles, game, and faith are on point.

You've leveled up mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually—

—and you've become the 👉 BEST 👈 version of yourself.

You've never felt better!

Here's the BAD NEWS:

Your journey has only just BEGUN...

All your hard work only gets you to the TRYOUTS—

—but you do not get the prize; you do not get the girl.

You are only "prequalified" to enter the competition against all the other hopeful men who ALSO qualify.

Now, pause a moment—

—and let that sink in...

All the strenuous labor...

All the TIME, EFFORT, and ENERGY...

All the self-sacrifice, leveling up, and ACHIEVEMENT...

All the toil, struggle, CREATING, and BECOMING—

—and now you are merely... COMPETING?

That's right—you're just a "CONTENDER."

As mathematicians say, meeting her standards is a NECESSARY—but not SUFFICIENT—condition.

Welcome to the big leagues.

Let the Games Begin! 🏆

"The fact that a car has wheels does not motivate anyone to buy a car. This is because we expect cars to come with wheels. You do not secure a sale by providing wheels with your car; however, a car without wheels significantly demotivates anyone from buying. You functionally ensure that you will not secure a sale by not providing wheels with your car. Providing wheels does not help you, but not providing wheels absolutely hurts you."

From Distance to Desire: How to Make Her Miss You

By Ryan M. Maes

A cold, distant woman in the backward embrace of another man, his identity obscured behind her.

"Hey, I was dating this girl, and she asked for space, so I went no contact for nine days. She finally reached out, saying she had changed her mind, but she seemed distant, contacting me only once every week or so. The last time she wanted to talk, I missed her call. When I called back, we talked for five minutes, and I told her we'd talk later because I was busy. Two days later, I texted her about meeting up. It's been two weeks, and I haven't heard from her. I haven't called her either because she seems distant, and I felt I should mirror her actions to maintain polarity. What should I do?"
— Jack Zamàñi, private group member

Here's some food for thought: 👉 LET HER GO 👈.

The writing is on the wall.

She's no longer invested in you.

She's no longer interested.

She no longer CARES.

Perhaps you've heard the expression, "Out of sight, out of mind."

At some point, she LOST her attraction and is now simply USING YOU for a free dopamine hit of attention and validation.

That's reality.

"Actions are the greatest indicator of intent, so judge by actions, not words. Behavior is the only reliable evidence of motivation. By her fruits, you will recognize her."
— God Pill Maxim

Listen, I Get It...

We men are STUBBORN, forever determined to push forward—to rise to the challenge, hoping against hope—even when it defies our better judgment.

So, if you're still determined to press on, what actions can you take?

At this stage, I recommend shifting to "STRATEGIC PRESENCE."

That's right—contrary to popular opinion, it may actually be beneficial to INCREASE your presence—

—just don't become TOO present.

The key here is 👉 BALANCE 👈—

—and the good news is, there's a way to achieve it.

Here's What I Suggest:

Reach out to her ONCE with something short, simple, and sweet.

Something that doesn't require investment, commitment, or even a response—just something LIGHT-HEARTED and FUN.

Something that triggers POSITIVE EMOTIONS.

Nothing heavy.

Don't overthink it.

This is just to get the ball rolling...

After that:

⚠️ DO NOT call her.
⚠️ DO NOT text her.
⚠️ NOTHING.

Simply wait...

⚠️ ZERO CONTACT! ⚠️

"Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires."
— Song. 2:7, NIV

Hear me now: A woman is like a cat; you cannot negotiate her FEELINGS or DESIRES.

You must "release her" and let her return of her OWN VOLITION.

If she doesn't, she lacks 👉 GENUINE DESIRE 👈—

—and it's best to AVOID women who lack genuine desire anyway.

It's an UPHILL BATTLE, and trust me—that's a hill you don't want to die on.

SO, BE PATIENT!

After planting the seed, you must give it TIME TO GROW. 🌳

It won't be easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is—so give her the gift of MISSING YOU.

Use absence to increase RESPECT and HONOR—

—and only re-engage ⚠️ AFTER ⚠️ she RESPONDS.

Remember, if she's into you, she'll find a WAY; if not, she'll find an EXCUSE.

"When a woman has genuine desire, she will make it obvious; there is no guesswork."
— God Pill Maxim

Here's the CRITICAL PART:

When (and if) she replies, greet her with, CONFIDENCE, GOOD VIBES, and POSITIVE ENERGY.

❌ DON'T bring up the past.
❌ DON'T mention her distant behavior.
❌ DON'T ask why she took so long to respond.

There’s a time and place for that, but not here.

"Women want to play the game; they don't want to be told they are playing a game."
— Red Pill Maxim

Lay off the "tactics" and don't pretend to be busy.

Simply welcome her with positivity, optimism, and GOOD SPIRITS—

—but don't immediately push for the meetup.

Again, DO NOT push for the meetup.

Pushing too soon will only serve to PUSH HER AWAY.

It's PREDICTABLE and BORING—she's seen it all before.

So, play it cool, brother.

Appeal to her EMOTIONS—

—and prove you can engage WITHOUT an agenda.

"A genuine Christian is desirable by default, since his highest priority isn’t women—but God."
— God Pill Maxim

Remember:

Absence is a tool—

—but it's not the ONLY tool.

Balance is CRITICAL.

And you BALANCE hot and cold polarity by staying focused, patient, and silent until you hear from her ("absence")—

—but responding with ENGAGEMENT, POSITIVE VIBES, and GOOD SPIRITS when you do ("presence").

This, my friend, will make her MISS YOU. 💪

"Pursuing a woman who is distant and closed off is kind of like showing up at your favorite restaurant a minute after they close. Let's say they serve until 8 p.m., and you show up at 8:01. When you walk in the door, they say something like, 'Oh, so sorry, but we're actually closed. Our kitchen is closed, so please come back tomorrow.' Now, just like in a romantic relationship, if you were in this situation in real life, it would be absolutely ludicrous and entitled to insist that you be served. It's only a minute after closing time, but it is technically after closing time. Whether it's an inch or a mile, out of bounds is out of bounds, and expecting that an exception is going to be made for you is a little narcissistic and absurd. That said, it would be just as ludicrous and entitled for the restaurant to expect that you're not going to eat until tomorrow just because their kitchen is closed. So, what do you do in this real-life situation? You say, 'Oh, absolutely, completely understand. Enjoy the rest of your night. I'm gonna see what else is open at this hour, and I'll come back another time.' And you take your hunger where people are willing to serve you. It's that simple."

God, Manliness, and Muscular Christianity

By Ryan M. Maes

A man embodying the tenets of "muscular Christianity," exuding strength, discipline, and moral vigor.

"Christianity is a fighting religion."
— C.S. Lewis

"Muscular Christianity" promotes physical manliness, virtue—a code of honor marked by loyalty, integrity, and bravery—and masculinity of character.

Followers embrace the principle that a man's physical capabilities should be developed and disciplined not solely for personal gain but to defend those in need, advance virtuous causes, and subdue the earth by the divine mandate given to men.

"Bodily exercise, when it is well ordered, is also prayer by means of which you can please God our Lord."
— Attributed to Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556)

The tenets of Muscular Christianity are as follows:

A man's body is given to him by God;
It is to be trained;
It is to be brought into subjection;
It is then to be used for the protection of the weak;
For the advancement of all righteous causes;
And for the subduing of the earth, which God has given to the children of men.

"Take care of your body as if you were to live forever; and take care of your soul as if you were to die tomorrow."
— Attributed to Saint Augustine (354–430)

Remember:

"God revealed Himself in the Bible pervasively as king not queen; father not mother. The second person of the Trinity is revealed as the eternal Son not daughter; the Father and the Son create man and woman in His image and give them the name man, the name of the male… God has given Christianity a masculine feel."
— John Piper
