It's a super idea! The demand is, of course, huge.

If you opened this is Eastern Europe, say Russia, the political atmosphere would definitely be in your favor.

The problem with it being a school for men only is that you could be sued or charged for discriminating against the fairer sex, depending on the country. Russia struck as a good idea because, based on the latest anti-gay law and Putin's general posturing, a school of masculinity would probably be appreciated?

E-learning is scalable, but NOTHING beats personal mentoring, which is what civilization needs more of - fathers who will invest the time it takes to teach their sons what it means to be an adult.

Make it an e-learning business with a Personal Representative aspect. What you do is make each member accountable to a mentor/coach. This person will refine the syllabus to match the clients needs and will meet with them via Skype for coaching and feedback sessions. Personal in-city rendezvous could be available (for a higher price - mainly for wealthy clients).

Basically you could go the direction of "Men's Elite Life Coaching Service" and specialize in "Creating More Masculine Fathers, Boyfriends, Leaders...Creating Men". Of course it will follow the Red Pill doctrine.

I guess this is kind of what RSD is doing with game and self-improvement. One thought is to take it a step further and completely away from the PUA scene.

You can have overall Become A Better Man courses that encapusulate all modules or you can focus on whatever need someone has (can't cook, can't do household repairs, work on cars, work out at the gym properly, teach little league, find a date, fuck his wife correctly...the list of possible deficiencies of the Western men deficits goes on).

Hell, you can even offer services geared toward making a work-a-holic man more accessible to his family. Tweak his schedule and convince him that he needs more family time to be a better man (mentors to include successful men that are family men as well). Think the wife won't find a way to work that into the family budget?

This really is a super idea Ali

A good way to do it is virtual classrooms. Broadcast via webcam, and have a chat room for asking questions.

Offer in person mentoring as well. You have to start small, online is a great way to do this.

I second this very low overhead. You could run out of anywhere with good internet connection so that way you could be living abroad. If your business model is sucessful and you need to expand just add members as employees but you still get a cut of the action.

Dick enlargement surgery will be necessary if you are opening it in Japan.

But if you start the school online then what's the fucking point? The guy is basically on his own but has a map. What if he can't read that map? That's why he needs a mentor. Besides, putting guys in a social environment so they can interact is what society needs since feminazis are out to destroy any male sphere.

Yeah a lot of the point is gaining social skills, which are difficult to do through a screen. Maybe if you were simply instructing people who were already used to learning and were already dedicated to self improvement, you could possibly do e-courses. But you cant teach martial arts or approaches very well online.

There's a difference between online courses/ recorded lectures and live, instant feedback webinars.

[Menace]

Use forum members as your first "students." See it works!

[TheBulldozer]

This idea could not work unless it is brick and mortar.

I suppose a proper analogy would work like this: 5 minutes in person with a girl is worth more than 5000 text messages. Same applies for learning. You can teach yourself many things, but something very human is missing when it's not done live.

A good corollary to this would be a similar school for females. Why have all these guys improving themselves if the bitches do nothing but play facebook and eat cheesecake?

They need to learn to give blowjobs, make food, clean, and act respectably in public, for starters.

Dude in addition to English and Manliness make it a part of a rehab program for the millions of Japanese, Chinese and S. Korean males who are addicted to video games, the Internet and Internet porn. What I've heard is that the current rehab model, not just for the addictions mentioned but also drugs and overeating, is a Buddhist nature camp with strict vegetarian diets, lots of meditation and lots more manual labor tasks that the monks themselves are supposed to be doing. Sounds boring and probably ineffective, after all they're being run by monks, that is to say homosexuals and guys who don't get laid. Normally societies don't take much advice from these two groups but put on a yellow/white robe and all of a sudden they're wise men. Anyways wouldn't they rather goto a place where they can learn mma, game, exercise, marksmanship, riding and fixing motorcycles and other fun stuff?

Put the rehab/training camp in Thailand or Phils since the Cost of Living is way cheaper and you can do a lot of stuff that might be illegal or cost-prohibitive in the richer countries. You could run a month in Phils a month in Cambo a month in Thai and with a final field training exercise phase in BKK. 4 months of intensive English, strength & conditioning, mma two-a-days coupled with zero-internet/computer access. Just like boot camp your students will return to their homes changed men, jacked tan delusionally self confident who will never stop praising your program.

For your classroom RedPill 101 lectures you could just have a good terp write your script for you, at the same time working on your pronunciation. Then record yourself on stage as you read off the teleprompter, mic'ed up and suited down like David D'Angelo does. Now you've got series of videos you can have your students watch while you read each of their dossiers or review the videos of their infields you assigned to them for homework. After the video portion of class you can have Q and A with your terp by your side. If your terp is a hapa girl I guarantee students will always be wide awake in class.

Use clips from these lectures to advertise on youtube, White god factor, seemingly native language proficiency, and a funny script combined should get you enough views to get your school off the ground. After the first cohort returns to the Tokyo, Taiwan, Seoul, etc they can go about doing hometown recruiting for you.

Digital is beta. You can't fight, fuck or feed through a computer.

[Easy_C]

I've got the same idea, but the catch is that I want to escalate things a notch. You see the problem with the entire "real men" movement is that they're trying to fix a problem. They're fighting an uphill battle by trying to de-program years of education and indoctrination that comes from crappy families and overt school indoctrination.

My argument? Let's beat them at their own game and stop the problem from happening in the first place. The indoctrination really starts in middle school and gets intense in high school. What I want to do is get high school kids in ahead of time and put them in an environment that will develop healthy masculinity. There's a lot of forgotten components that can easily be put into the program that I like: mandatory contact sports/Martial Arts, trade classes, and etiquette. I also like the idea of using a cohort system that puts them into groups similar to the "companies" at service academies( if you're not familiar with West Point/Annapolis think Hogwarts houses) in order to facilitate learning both how to effectively co-operate and compete.

I'd also like to limit media influence but that's hard to do without going full boarding school.

Recently I pitched the idea to another member who gave back positive feedback, and have been thinking about it ever since. The concept is starting a niche school abroad, which means finding a small need in a large market and building up.

My original idea was to open a school for men in Japan. Given their current society, I think a business could profit to teach men there how to recapture pre WWII thinking and grow more masculine by teaching the basics. Martial arts, diet, exercise, style, social interactions. An actual place where students are required to show up and improve, not books or websites. Growth will come from men leaving the school and becoming walking advertisement.

I know opening any biz abroad is hard, and would take more than one person to implement. However, it has the potential to take off and while not getting anyone rich, could allow for location dependent living in a better location. This of course will be a step up from just teaching English.

I started the thread to brainstorm with you guys and share knowledge. Thoughts?

I've actually had thoughts about something like that as well. While not abroad, it would be similar to a boarding school where people can send their boys to be taught to think while requiring some sort of sport/martial art regime so that they become stronger physically and mentally.

I actually live in Japan now, where in this country where you originally thinking about setting up at? A Japanese buddy of mine, shares a similar mindset where the men here would be better off with the pre-war mindset rather than what they have now.

[Yeti]

Hey Ali:

Japan could be a good country to set up but it can be tricky breaking into the Japanese market. Once you do, though, you're golden.

You can sponsor your own visa in Japan:
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/20...VYS-PlViko

So as you'd hinted, you could teach ESL to make some side income, and use your free time to invest in your school. ESL teaching visas are also pretty easy to get, meaning that some ESL school could hire you and you use your free time to start your own school (teaching men).

[defguy]

I like the idea a lot. I think school is the wrong word as your structure would need to be closer to a membership club or coworking space. People have to go to school & work, but your membership club could be a great hangout spot where they can socialize with cool guys and take free classes offered at x times throughout the day or paid private lessons in fighting, meeting women, running a business, public speaking, etc. a lot of freelancers in lifestyle design could operate out of ur shop while u find ways to provide value for free to ur members every day of the week. Eventually ur senior members would put together their own classes to give back to the community and youll have classes, workshops, and cool events going on at all times of the day every day. Lifestyle design coworkingspace is the way to go imo. People of all ages can come and go as their schedule permits and still get value.

Initially youll have to play the role of big brother/mentor/best bud to every member and make it very personalized for members 1-20 but as the club grows but then with numbers youll be able to "outsource" all of that work.

I image some vetting process also would be necessary as some guys would be beyond help or conflicting mindsets.

[CleanSlate]

This thread was started almost 2 years ago. I'm curious how this idea is panning out.

[Aliblahba]

Appreciate all the replies, gents. I did a lot of research on it, but had to put it on the back burner. In order to get this off the ground, one of several things needs to happen:

1. I need to land another rotational position (28/28), which would provide the time and money to put boots on ground for further research.

2. Pick up more high end contracting work (6 months on, 6 months), to achieve the same results as above.

3. Go location independent. I have no idea how to do this.

4. Finish my book. That could give me the same results as #3. I have no reason not have finished it. Imma fat lazy fuck.

The oilfield went to shit, and so did a lot of the better contracting work, like refinery building. The only call I get now are FSR positions, with 100% travel. That's a hard life, and allows no time to do anything but bang stewardesses.

Eventually something will give, and I can move forward with the project.

This is likely true. With a physical campus you get the advantage of immersing students in a culture of your choosing. You also get favorable logistics when it is time to take the rest of the class to a no-show's door. Not to mention all of the value you get out of students maintaining what they can be trusted with of the physical campus.
