Also what kind of name is Cernovich? Croatian?

If you were asked to become a judge in the supreme court would you take it?

Wow. Impressive. I too was bullied mercilessly as a kid and have a strong justice complex. It is something I still deal with to this day. A lot of people don't understand it.

Glad you are still here too. Glad you didn't extinguish yourself. Take it from someone who has lost a brother in this manner. It leaves a hole in your life that you can never fill. Not a day goes by where I don't think about him. He was an introvert as well and I miss him every day. He raised too great sons though. I am proud to be their uncle. I can send you a link to their website and you can see what they have built. They are fine young men.

Thanks for sharing Mike.

Have a peaceful journey.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm struggling and keeping it real like the rest of you. We are all dealing with something different. What brings us together is our refusal.

Thanks for your support and continued readership and comments.

Just add a touch of humility and you'll be all go!

Hi mike, whats your heritage?

From rags to riches, to teacher for us men in the making. Glad you didnt kill yourself, Im a grandma boy myself haha.

You come off as an arrogant SOB. This list made me sad, and I don't even know what this website is about. Your insecurity is overwhelming. Happiness will not be found by this pretension to power and confidence, we can all see, you're wearing no clothes.

Namaste.

Hahahaha what a fucking embarrassment. I truly pity you morons lapping this shit up. 31self high fives from the biggest douche in the universe.

"30. I hate talking about myself."

But you LOVE typing about yourself, dontcha fat boy?

"6. I had to learn how to downplay my intelligence, as it made peers resentful of me"

I didn't even finish the article yet but agree to this one so much. I don't tell anyone in my current field that I went to college, and I have to downplay my vocabulary, because I know I'll bear a ton of resentment from people that probably haven't even finished high school. I think the resentment comes about because it serves as a reminder of a perceived inadequacy they feel about themselves, and they probably believe I think it as well (I don't), that leads to the resentment.

This is such a small issue. If you open up to them and be honest they'll realize you're just another person. It all comes down to adjusting your vernacular and body language to fit your audience.

I think it takes a greater level of self awareness to truly smooth this problem over and deal with the related inadequacies than most people possess. I am in the same boat as Mike.

Damn man, this is deep, in the past two weeks you've become one of my biggest, if not the biggest inspiration of my life. The amount of knowledge you've provided me, and so many others has changed me completely. I'm going on my last year of high school and I feel like you're helping me prepare for such a great road ahead, and you've uplifted me so much. Your work is beyond any other blog, because it's not just complaining about feminist bullshit or just how to get girls with a lot of stupid fluff, it's about LIFE AS A WHOLE. Your ideas have been what I've been thinking about for the last 6 months, but you've reinforced and helped build 100x upon what I had originally thought. If I recall correctly I believe you wondered when you had first started as to whether or not your blog was that unique (something of the sort, not sure?) and I can most definitely say that there isn't anything like this out there. There's little bits here and there, but for the most part, not like yours, and you credit your sources to help me get the books that will lead me into the right direction (thank you so much for that as well). In so many of your posts I've wanted to write something thanking you for your contributions, and I feel that this is the one I wish to start on. I will ALWAYS read your blog, I've been telling my friends/dad and as many guys I know who'd be interested to read/listen to your work. I don't ever get emotional with things online, but I feel that your passion is so real, and the fact you (as well as Jim) have such a desire to help others makes me feel almost like tearing up. So with that, thank you, thank you so much.

Fact #2 explains basically everything about this guy.

Thanks for sharing Man. Damn you have had an eventful life. I'm damn impressed that you run D&P out of passion for your work and that monetarily you could walk away from it right now if you wanted.

I would have thought having wealth would increase lethargy, but you're going even harder than ever.

What was a N-A-C?

I like something you said the other day. "I wake up every day and ask myself Do I see myself running Danger & Play when i'm 50? And the day i say no is the day i quit"

It reminds me of that famous saying from heat for some reason.

Don't have anything in your life that you can't walk out on in 30 seconds flat when the heat comes round the corner.

I would say the 'heat' is that coffee spiling moment you talked about in your other podcast.

someone told me about the balancing force of youth and old age.

The young have strength, power and the raw ability to do whatever they want. They lack confidence, they're limited by their lack of mental maturation, and they don't push as hard as they could.

The old have wisdom, experience, the ability to organise and lead, but they don't have the kind of strength that the young has.

This is why time and time again in history, the old have councilled the young. Old men made the wars and young men fought them.

The necessity of a mentor as a guiding hand in a young man's life is paramount. Sure they can do without anyone else, but a respected mentor helps them rapidly apply that fire, energy direction into their own main pursuits.

This was really awesome and beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us, Mike.

Well done brother.
I hope that was more cathartic than an exercise in frustration for you.
Interesting lives make for interesting people.

32. I'm very sexy. People would come and say, "Mike Danger, you're so sexy," and not understand my sexuality.

"Sheryl Sandberg overtly flirted with me".

Should have leaned in...on dat ass.

I just googled her even if she payed him I doubt Mike would have fucked her shes and old hag these days and nothing special in her younger days either.

You really have solidified yourself as a talented writer in my book! A real person with real problems and and REAL solutions! Can't stress enough how good this was, I feel live I've met you.

Fake.

A recurring theme I see in your writing is how great SoCal is-and I agree. How long have you been there? Did you ever live in Phoenix or Vegas?

Honestly man-its common to see jacked up dudes in their 30s and 40s in LA. In the rest of the US (which is mostly a bland dump of fields, woods, plains, wood frame boxes, and big box chain stores) it's like people give up on life. Most of the US sucks ass-many would be better served in Costa Rica, Thailand, etc.

Are you a scorpio ? Because I find some similarities of character with myself.

I'm really touched by what you've had the balls to write. Last week I
discovered Danger & Play and became curious about the site. The
first question that I asked myself was, "what does this guy want?", the
next was, "how does this make a difference in other people's lives?" and
ultimately I started wondering, if I had ever experienced a blog like
this one before. The answer to my last question is easy...I've seen
many, but none written by a guy, who is seemingly talented, intelligent
and motivated but on the other side crazily sincere and unconventional.
You are the guy other guys are afraid to be and those who think
like-mindedly often don't have the balls to present themselves to the
world in their true state. The other two first questions I'm still
working on, but I can see how people dig your interesting
posts...hell...you're writing about things, that are socially "out" in
this day and age, where it's "in" to be a pussy and conform to all
rules, being a piece of the masculine ratrace, rather then giving a sh++
and showing others how it's done, at the same time motivating others to
just "go" by going about ones life and trying to make a difference,
helping others on the way without selling out.

It's been real
tough for me, making friends in Germany. I was born in the states and
our family left after 10 years. Guys in Germany are often very orthodox,
complying to expectations and staying very superficial, all the while
claiming, that "Americans" are so superficial themselves, for being so
open-minded and in-your-face-friendly all the time...

People here
are so afraid of just speaking out their thoughts and feelings, being
real about their own beliefs and making a difference by NOT
subordinating themselves to the "usual" folk. It's hard meeting people
that have a little more gorilla in them :)

I promise to catch up on your articles and visiting more often. Thanks for your great work and stay sharp!

I've been friends with Mike for eleven years and can vouch for everything he says here (if anything his accomplishments/personal qualities are understated above). There are few people on earth I would rather have in my corner or get serious advice from.

"I went to law school out of the naive desire to help people."
Cool thing is you truly are.

Interesting. I always wondered where I got my fair mindedness/concepts of justice from. Good to trace it back to being pushed around.

Snap. Went to law to help people also.

I was bullied as a kid. I was a loner until my senior year in high school. However, I knew even back then that the primary reason I didn't fight back is because I basically would have pulled an Ender and killed someone in order to stop the threat. As a loner, that would have been the logical thing to do. However, the consequences of that seemed to severe. As an adult, there are (usually) more options. I sometimes regret letting myself be bullied, but I always saw the bullies as lower life forms anyway; like animals acting on instinct rather than with reason and intelligence.

"You read a website that actively engages in bullying, rape jokes, and domestic violence"

How does a website engage in domestic violence?

Thank you; fixed!

Greetings from India. Your life struggles are unique and an inspiration. Ignore the gawker bots driven by borrowed emotions and fake life experiences.

Also please share with us the stats - how much new newsletter subscribers and how much YouTube subscribers you got. I know you aren't doing it for the stats, but I am just wondering how much exposure they got you.

Cheers

Hi Mike, does the links you got from Gawker contain nofollow attribute? If not, I guess you got yourself a nice serving of Google juice...

Quite a CV, Mike. It's always good to know the Wizard behind the curtain. Thank you for being real and sharing Danger and Play!

Total bad ass. I wish i had 1/3rd of your intelligence. Like most all I have is hard work, passion, and dedication. Cheers to you for having the balls to live the life you want.

" I am very chill with people. Often they mistake this for weakness and are surprised when I push back."

How do you handle this so you don't come across as "reserved" or a "pussy" even though you're just being "chill" and literally don't care what other people are saying/doing.

Powerful stuff. Thanks for sharing.

I too am so glad you did not kill yourself!!!! Your looking good! Hope you hold no grudge on me, Of coarse as you look back ( at least for me) I think wow I should have done a lot more, or man I was so wrapped up in my stuff , ie...work , problems, ect that we have no time to reach out to those we care about, I tried but I'm sure not enough, that had to be way hard as a 14 yr old.....when we look at others we have no idea of what is really going on in them.

What you think about this Mike?

http://yournewswire.com/tag...

Were you a JAG Lawyer? So many of the things from your life story mirror my own. I'm far less successful though:/. How big a part was your grandmother in your upbringing ? I'm new to your page but when I read your stuff I feel like your reading my mind sometimes. I wonder if the influence from an older more stoic generation might have been the deciding factor. My grandmother once told me "If everyone has a problem with you they are not the problem you are." I feel a lot of guys in the Manosphere/alternative right could learn from that statement. Yes the modern culture is degenerate and yes American and Western Women are pitiful examples of their former selves but complaining about it does you no good. Workout get in shape and understand women aren't angels but will take advantage of you if you let them at best and ignore you at worse. Game will only get you so far if your a fat ass. We can't change most things about our looks but there is ALMOST no excuse for being fat or soft. .
Almost half of people in this country if current stats persist will end up childless, alone or divorced and paying child support. If you don't want to be one of those you are going to either work smarter or change your country venue.

32. You have a barking dog out in front of your house named Ben Howe.

Kinda funny how your friends keep running him over!

I love the premise of the site, but who are the people that read a list like this and come away impressed, Mike? This is some of the most shameless, braggadocious preening I've ever read. You ever notice how successful professionals don't do this? Confident people who aren't trying to impress ignorant rubes don't feel the need to. ; ) You should really have a copy editor tone this down for you.

Holy shit you ate Mark Zuckerberg?

That's impressive.

Joking aside, never knew any of this stuff. You're an interesting guy.

How long were you an Army Officer?

Hey,Mike,
Just read your bio;very well done!We have a lot in common,attitude wise.Perfectly put :",if I don’t care about something, I won’t put the work into it. (9). I am either highly motivated or totally lazy.What is N.A.C,by the way?I,too,have struggled with bipolar,and want to get RID of it,sans meds!

Thanks for all your work here,Mike;opened my eyes to a whole new perspective on things!

They say I “overreact,” to which I say, “Then don’t push me.”

I've been called crazy for I don't know how long time. I don't get it, why do they pick a fight with me, if I am that crazy as they claim that I am? Why don't they just let me be?
