I guess I am a hikikomori. @2rafa' s comment below hit me like a ton of bricks. I am also someone who does the things that are good for me (fitness, dating etc, work ) only when faced with impending undesirable consequences of my laziness. Hence the hikikomori label. I am guessing that I will have to see a therapist at some point in the near future to fix me.

Yes, Finally something that I can reply to. I tried underwater hockey. I swim fairly regularly. But the first sessions were fraught with me being afraid of the depth of the pool. I think the game was played in the deep end about 10 feet. I needed to swim regularly in a pool of that depth for me to be comfortable with the game. Maybe when I do that, i will be able to go back and play properly. But underwater hockey is really a fun sport.
Question, does anyone know of blogs/substacks that discuss sexual morality/family building? Bonus points if the author was a former follower of the main abrahamic religions (Judasim, Islam, Christianity). Thanks.

Hi, testing to see if I can reply to a poster.
I was waiting for theMotte(TM) to discuss this. I had listened to the podcast Louis did with Chris Williamson (of Modern Wisdom) fame (https://youtube.com/watch?v=cBt7KbaBzu8). Not all the podcasts are hits, IMO.
While I was listening, I was rolling my eyes at what Louis was complaining about. The constant focus of "streamers", the banal descriptions of what the manosphere means, the "tax" that Chris Williamson paid (by saying he was not part of the manosphere), and so on. I stopped before I got half way.
I was trying to listen to see if Louis had any insights as I mostly do with Chris's guests but I was sorely disappointed. Anyways, I am appreciative of the comments from @faceh and @cjet79 (sorry if I summoned you) (https://www.themotte.org/post/3618/culture-war-roundup-for-the-week/422386?context=8#context).
That comment really crystallizes a thought that I have been wrestling for a while what makes me manly over my lifetime. It distills some of the readings from /r/marriedredpill, parts of the Redpill from 2015-2017 (when I was really reading it) and some male-focused Substacks.
I wish Chris got someone on that had a more positive/nuanced take. But those people are not attention-seeking so it is probably a pipe dream.
