North, those long term relationships where the husband is "getting strange" on the side are about as happy and good as you would feel if you cheated to win a game of 40k against a friend who also knew you were cheating but let you get away with it because they love you and knew you really needed that win. I don't claim to know everything when it comes to relationships but I've been married to the woman I love for 21 years, (plus dated for 3 years before getting married), and I can tell you with some confidence that if I was getting random side action, with or without her approval, I don't think we would have made it through the rough patches that all relationships go through. Getting through those tough times together have forged a bond stronger than steel. "If you want a strong bond don't splurge in the forge." - Blacksmith to his apprentice.

“We have to beat off other men” - Northern Exile

I hope you'll take this as constructive feedback, but personally I'm finding these videos more and more frustrating to listen to. Quite often they seem to devolve from a hot-take on the original story to a full blown meandering rant which goes on for far too long and isn't particularly relevant to the topic at hand. With story two for example, the salient advice is that there is no point forcing someone to be interested in something they're clearly not. The rest of the rant about society etc. really did not feel very pertinent to the story at all. I'd personally prefer more focus on the actual stories being sent in.

Weird Andrew Tate rant bruv

Hey you should cheat. That's about the worst advice I have ever heard in my life

Honestly dude, the guy that's complaining that his girl isn't into his hobbies needs friends. If his only friend is his girl, he's going to begin to resent her. You don't have to date or marry someone that is interested in your hobbies as long as she doesn't put you down for them. This guy needs some hobby bros, not a new relationship. Usually you give good advice, but telling dudes to sleep around is shitty advice. You can't complain about women sleeping around then write off promiscuous men. Sex is meant to be a beautiful thing between two people that truly love each other. Lust destroys progress. You can hit the gym all day, but lust will ultimately keep you down. If you keep having worthless relationships, you'll end up no better mentally than a porn star. You literally said tons of pointless sex will mess you up, yet still say it's a good idea.

How the hell did a "how can I get my wife to enjoy my hobby with me" lead to a "you should cheat on your wife to have a happy relationship" response?? Literally the only response needed was: "If she doesn't enjoy your hobby then she doesn't enjoy it, don't pressure her.

Hey North, do you think the reason you still feel the urge to go off with other women is because you didn’t ever have to teach yourself self control? In the same way that women generally don’t teach themselves the same skills that men have to, do you think maybe you never taught yourself control due to being with many women when you were younger? So now what you see as a normal thing (sometimes thinking about going off with another women for a short stay) is really just due to not having taught yourself that self control?

Sorry man. I can't make it through this one.

Never cheated on my Mrs, but I did "get out of system" before I walked down the isle, over fifteen years ago ! !

Norf, IDK if its a big ask, but can you separate or label the "hobby nightmares" from the "my life sucks"? I don't mean to sound mean here (but I probably will, oh well), but I couldnt care less for the relationship advice or personal non hobby related issues of the majority of these people. Like if I wanted that, I'd be listening to something else. Just saying I'd like to know whether I'm hearing "this dude cheated at the game" vs "this woman cheated on me" lol. Like I totally get it if its your deal, but it aint what got me subscribed, can you dig it?

This one was just all wrong

Im a hugggge fan of the channel. Been here since day one and will still be here. That being said its been another video where you have shared some pretty odd takes on relationships. I think you might need to do some self reflection if you want to understand where these comments are coming from. Ultimately it is your channel and you can do what you want with it. I dont want to get personal but youre single right and have been burnt a couple times on relationships? Maybe you should listen more to those who have been in successful relationships than lecture others on Tate like views. Honestly love the channel and all your other takes. Hope youre doing well.

Bro read the story, what the h*ll was this

northern exile - "i have done video's when too tiered and shouldnt have' - me: "those were the best episodes"

advocating blokes to cheat on the partners!?!?! yeh....... think you've drank your own kool-aid fella

Combat means combat. Competition means competition. Let’s not turn all words into meaningless noise.

Andrew Tate has entered the chat

Are you alright North? You were furiously thrashing around off topic (I'm 45mins in).

Twas a weird video. I do enjoy your opinion, although I do not always agree. I feel you are advocating in men's best interest, but your absolutist stance at time is contrary to the stoic approach, in my opinion. There is no one ultimate way to achieve happiness, a good relationship or successful life. Give these lads tools, not ideologies, and let them create their own armory, instead of a uniform.

You raise some challenging views which I don't entirely disagree with (but it's a bit of a pick and mix) with your takes on that middle story, but I do think you should have considered splitting this video into 2. I hope you see this as constructive crit, but I feel like it is really a bit awkward having that placed after a 13 year old's Hobby Nightmare where the kid is going to hear that and then if the video keeps playing it goes onto the subjects discussed after. I also think it takes the wind out of the viewers sails before that last one. It would have been 2 x 45-odd minute vids. I dunno, I appreciate that this is a mailbag with a variety of anecdotes but if the thought process is going to be this in-depth, maybe it's one to consider? Your last one there however is one of your best readings, with your very firm but fair take on the narrator who absolutely does seem like an arsehole (he's like the culmination of every "friend" I've ever known who verbally brags about being "on six figures" "I've paid my mortgage off" or "I've plowed through tinder" while he KNOWS he is in the company of people who are lonely, depressed, run-down and hard budgeting every month. As you say, the dude is definitely enjoying the way that the tables have turned and how things have panned out. It's a disgusting personality trait.

I'm sorry, but this is a rough one. Not due to emotions, or even the drama.. Your tangents and advice in this video are borderline dangerous. I'm a new listener and listened to much of your backlog, but the takes in this video made me lose quite a large amount of respect. I'm sorry, man, but it's not the drama or story that will make me not listen anymore. For example, the wrong person is going to hear this video and Brok Turner someone. All because it's "what men do." Editing to add a statement from my wife who listens with me. "I thought you said he was an ally to men?" This video doesn't sound good, and I am only almost halfway through...

That last story just made me dislike the writer. Seemed rather entitled to his opinions with little to no extensive thought on his experiences, or as to WHY he might think the way he does.

Men may not be built for monogamy, but civilization is to the point there isn't an example of civilization that didn't have it. Civilisation required the suppression of part of our tribal nature and promiscuous attitudes is one of them. There's a reason why every successful nation harshly punished promiscuity and its appearance is synonymous with society being in decline throughout history. The attitude of it returning is good and the majority of men it screws over by doing so is a recipe for disaster, I don't know how old you are North but for men under 30 the fact that the style of relationship you describe is one that society literally cannot function on if every man tried is pretty well known and, frankly, it's one of the many reasons why the coming cultural shift will be very socially rightward and will probably be better for everyone outside of those who get caught being degenerates after that has legal consequences again rather then just social ones.

14:54 My wife could care less about my hobbies. Yet we have been married for over fifteen years .

Wtf Northern:u have to cheat to have a happy marriage Also northern:cheating is the worst think u can do to a person Also northern:poli relationships never work Me:well Single forever it is cause brain is to small to understand

Sorry man, love the channel and been listening for the last year or so but recently these have been getting very hard to listen to. We like your takes on the hobby nightmare stories but the recent rants that have been going on for ages about hating women and about how the world is out to get us are getting out of hand. I understand where you are coming from but maybe put on a work persona where you don’t get too far down the rabbit hole with things and keep it as if you were catching up with a mate sort of vibe. No hate just letting you know! The more recent video about the manager telling off a customer was much better and felt like a return to form.

Mate, these rants about ‘what men have to go through’ etc are a bit much. Love most of your stuff, but I find myself more and more frequently saying in my head: ‘what on earth are you talking about North..?’ You keep saying some pretty questionable things lol. I really don’t tend to like leaving negative comments, but i hope maybe you can take something away from this one. Still, always love your videos, and always here to listen through thick and thin.

As a social worker my female colleagues are super engaged whenever a female is homeless or have a drug problem. To them it is tragic and these females a victims that the society needs to help so mutch. If it is a man in the same situation the attitude whil be, hes an addic, it is his own fault exct. Trust North guys you will be seen and treated as senlcond class citizens compared to females.

I would be dodging gunfire before I leave my Mrs, maybe . 😃

It's nice to know others have had that double-take moment while listening to your videos. You give a lot of good advice, but sometimes I'm like, nope, don't agree with that one bit. Doesn't mean you're wrong, but doesn't mean you're right either. It's your opinion on a thing, and I can respect that even if I don't agree. You've obviously found what works for you in life, or at least what you think works for you. Just be careful how hard you push others down the same path.

I'm gonna say that the final story would have actually ended with an "And everyone applauded me" from how it came across as literary masturbation, it just stank of OP always trying to make himself look good while constantly knocking his "friend" down every chance he got. Maybe that's just me being cynical because I've encountered plenty of fake stories like this in the past, (thank you, r/ThatHappened) but I'd rather believe OP exaggerated his own successes and his "friend's" shortcomings just to be a boastful knobhead rather than accepting that every word was true.

The guy in the last story sounds vile, to the point where it became funny. Despite that, the line about "Minorities don't need the help of someone who can't get out of bed before midday" was an absolute zinger 😂

Old Russian proverb: "It is better to share ONE good man than have a BAD one to yourself" .

I feel like it was the episode, you said that men don't cheat.

Love your tangents North, on point 😂👌

When did the channel become Northern Blackpill? 😅

I saw a Reddit chat about whether cheating is worth it, the majority of replies were people saying they've been there and it wasn't. Mostly women? Don't know. The way I see it us married men have hobbies to fill the void. Sports, gaming, the hobby, outdoor stuff, there's a lot to be getting on with. Keep your wife out of these things, you need alone time and time with the lads That said, in my prime I was probably a 7, and I haven't aged well. I don't have women throwing themselves at me so it's easy to stay loyal

Best nightmare yet imo, I was yelling along with you North about how this guy treated his friend, spot on mate

Tossing my two cents in- personally I loved the video, North. Going through a bit of a testing time rn, so I found your rant empowering AF. It really made me feel I could rise to the challenges i'm facing at the moment and SHRED 'em. Come out the other end a better man, etc. No problem if other people didn't like this, horses for courses. Keep it all up either way!

I think it's called "The Seven Year Itch" ! ! !

Heavy Andrew Tate vibes in this one. 👎🏿

I'm 33 years old married to my high school sweet heart, only ever been with her. I know I shouldn't to keep the T up but sometimes I feel like I gotta get the poison out fucking daily just to get on with my fucking life

23:55 It sounds like mommy feigning interest in her 5year old's toys. Disgusting.

this was rather unsettling. agree to disagree, I guess.

I like the majority of your videos, but there are so many contradictions you present from video to video. Alot of the tangents you go on, really reveal alot about you and it's almost like sitting on the listening chair of a therapy room. 😂 Saying that, this one really rubs me up the wrong way. Very incel.

I think he should get rid of her because shes going to med school and those people are spiritually dead. Just haemonculi

Sasha Grey also got out of porn and si successful in what she is doing now. The difference is she never made any excuses for getting into it in the first place, while allthe others try to blame someone else but themselves for getting into it.

In this episode, NE has been inhaling too much paint. Save it for the models

This was like listening to a letter from a fucking sociopath, and honestly i hooe this guy gets whats coming to him.

Gawdamnit…I want to enjoy this channel but it always turns into a jaded pity party. Made it to 20min in this time…..

Sorry North I love most of your content but you are way off on this one. A man can be completely content with one woman physically…and love and like his wife at the same time. I’ve been married to the love of my life for 31 years so I know a thing or two about the topic. My wife is amazing and I was built for one woman.

1:14:00 Bad friend guy sounds like a Narc, just a sliver away from self-awareness. Which is the fundamental bit relevant to have a chance to grow out of that shttyness

Sounds like OP doesn’t know what nihilist is

Morphius also let an agent out into the real world with that irresistible "choice"

1:34:24 Such people are called assassins .

1:16:55 What doesn't kill makes you stronger ?

Thou shalt not sin

Nietzsche is what kimble is in boardgames. Say-goodbye-to-your-friends.

I would add : Develop entrepreneur skills, no one will take care of you other than you brothers ! !

Procreate, Provide, Protect ! ! !

That last one has to be bait how would he have found this channel

18:52 A - FUCKING -MEN BROS ! ! !

Late to this one. But the final story, the writer sounds like a tosser, and a liar to boot. Some parts of the story seem like over exaggerated BS to fit with the way this guy saw the situation to make himself look better

Even as a niezschean myself l will admit most of us are pretty fuckin cringe, but l'm rather surprised to see north dislinking mah boi. I thought you were really into berserk and all that dudebro stoicism which should go hand in hand with a lot that he sais.

16:06 anen bros ! ! !

Hahaha men need to beat off the other men. Love ya north. Thankyou for the content

Diversity hire chads... I'm thinking we won.

good stuff mate

Another well made video. Positive comment for the algorithm.

Jolly good

Wow, North. You managed to will yourself into being into the Kardashians for a woman? She must've been off the charts, hotness-wise. I don't even think I could do that for Allison Brie!

Based exile

All the more reason why you shouldn't put women on a pedestal.

Hahaha wow this advice is totally uncucked. You are one of the few people in the hobby who would actually tell the truth about men and women. A lot of guys in the west get all of their ideas on romance from their fuckin moms or from romance movies. The problem is that the guys, the dads, the teachers, the coaches who should be mentoring young men tell them the same trite shit that will never benefit them in any way. I have sympathy for men under 25, it’s the guys who should have the life experience to know who I really find contemptible

I love how the last story encapsulates the mind of a typical right winger. 0 self reflection. "Are we the baddies" 😂😂😂 Even lion can't reconcile the reality of the story.

💘💝💖💗💓💞💕❣❤‍🔥💋
