"Galloway pointed to suicide, addiction, and homelessness as areas where men are doing badly relative to women. He also noted the existence of sexism and racism, pointing out that "empathy's not a zero-sum game." Much of his criticism was directed at the tech world. Galloway argued it had "unwittingly built an economy which is dependent upon our ability to evolve a new species of asocial, asexual males.""
"Some of Galloway's advice was good, and in the category of tough love. He spoke about the need for men to bolster "your ability to endure rejection." "The only way you ever get to amazing 'Yes'es is with a lot of 'No's," he said, and spoke about his frustration that more young men are not pursuing a relationship - which encompasses both romantic and social bonds. "If you think about the most rewarding things in your life, the things that really matter - they are, essentially, relationships," he said."
Scott Galloway appeared on Real Time With Bill Maher for a one-on-one interview about his new book Notes on Being a Man. He highlighted poor male outcomes in suicide, addiction, and homelessness while acknowledging sexism and racism and insisting empathy is not zero-sum. He criticized the tech industry for creating conditions that favor asocial, asexual male behavior. He recommended that young men adopt a code, build resilience to rejection, and actively pursue relationships, stressing the importance of expressing romantic interest in ways that make others feel safe. Maher pushed back on several claims, including whether phones increase sexual desire and whether men need relationships more than women.
