Here is an example of a 5-Star Friday email…
*Article I’m rereading
Cyberbullying and Karma by Stickman Bangkok. (NSFW) This remains one of the most powerful articles I’ve read ever read on the internet. It’s thought-provoking, scary, and absolutely fascinating. It's a long read, but well worth it, so make sure you have time. NSFW NOTE: Stickman Bangkok is a Thailand based website and the advertising may not be safe for work.
*Podcast episode I'm listening to
Last Podcast on the Left – L. Ron Hubbard 4 part series. Learning about L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of scientology, is fascinating. And this podcast is just plain hilarious. Great for long car rides.
*Easy meal I'm eating
6 scrambled egg yolks cooked with butter. This meal is easy, quick, healthy, and delicious. I simply separate 6 egg yolks from the egg whites, I mix the 6 egg yolks in a bowl, I add several scoops of butter, and I cook the eggs on a mild heat for just a few moments until the eggs harden, stirring the entire time they are cooking. This easy recipe makes the best scrambled eggs I have ever had. They are so rich you don't need any other food to pair them with, it's a complete meal.
*Product I can't live without
3D Sleeping Mask. I use this sleeping mask every single night and I'm getting better sleep than I ever have. I've used many sleep masks but this is the best one I've tried as it actually covers my eyes completely. Highly recommended.
*Quote I’m pondering
“People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.”
–Tim Ferris

I dig it. Like the meal ideas.
Nice Vic. It’s clear that the steady blood sugar from zero carbs makes your mind stable and strong. Your content has become much… Wiser? You seem much wiser too. Big up brother
I agree with this. It seems like Vic went through some form of ego death or spiritual growth. I can FEEL the difference in his writing.
I agree with you that cholesterol is healthy and not bad. This article confirms what I have always thought thank you Victor.
Putting the info here as well as sending it to your contacts was a good idea. That way you don’t have to handle hundreds of emails from people wanting to comment on your stars. Also gets easier to reply to many people at once.
I especially like the food recipe star-pointer.
Thanks again Victor
I totally agree that having a full neck gives you a more manly look. That strong physique look with a pencil neck is for geeks.
Full neck, broad shoulders, and a big back makes you look like a winner. You’ll find your clothes fit better too. And look better on you.
Loving this new series, Vic!
“People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.” This is more applicable than you know. I’m convinced you have a sixth sense of when people need to hear a particular message, and this one is no different. Your timing is on point.
Uncertainty causes fear, and fear causes inaction. Fuck fear. I’m learning what I need to, to get rid of the uncertainty. Action follows.
Have a great weekend, brother… but hey, weekends don’t exist for you, now do they? ;)

Great post! More of the 5-Star Friday!
Starting this was a great idea!
Hello Victor, I liked your quote from Manly Hall about integrity. Hall was a famous mystic and author of The Secret Teachings of All the Ages. Integrity is about being true to yourself, honest and authentic, having existential courage to tell it like you see it and not be a coward in the face of the universal bullshit of the world.
eating eggs, meat and butter is my primary job. what’s yours.
Love your website man. My wife is Vietnamese I been all over Vietnam and southeast Asia. I’ve been big into bodybuilding for years and not into working for other people. Your website is absolutely outstanding keep up the great work. I’ve been using alot of your own mottos from this site as my own “mantras” lately. Once again keep up the great work.

5 Star Friday is great and makes for a good reading with interesting topics.
Hope we‘ll see a new book of yours in the near future.

Loved the article you rec’d: “9 SECRETS ABOUT FEMALE NATURE TOLD BY A HOT GIRL DYING OF CANCER”. I think everything in there is pretty close to true for at-least a lot of ladies… except… fucking dogs? That can’t be right!!! Am I so naive??
The article about the 9 secrets of women is spot on. It may sound harsh and a bit crudely spoken but deep down its really how women feel and act. I have had over 70 women in my life and about 20 were married women. This has given me insight into women true nature and I will tell you I wouldn’t trust a woman any farther than I could spit. The nicer she seems the more deals she is.
Hi Vic. David from Argentina here.
This past year your blog helped me to stop a really nasty cocaine addiction and getting back to weight training so thank you a lot.
The rok article was a blast, my favorite on the list. Been reading there too but never seen that one.
Also I’ve been really enjoying the podcast. Would kill to have it more than once a week. I agree with you on the Jordan Peterson thing and Im curious about your opinion on Elliot Hulse’s work.
Love your work dude !
¡Un abrazo, idolo!
Agree with exercising in the heat. I do hot yoga and the heat is protective against injury and to increase flexibility while making you sweat
Your quote….ppl will choose unhappiness over uncertainty….based on fear, not courage and confidence…feeling safe rather than risking… oh that hindsight could be foresight!
Sup Vic
I was lucky enough to be exposed to the red pill years ago.. changed my life far behind getting pussy.
My question – I love the 9 truth article you linked but quite honestly, how true do you think the women being sexual freaks ARE?
I do live in the Midwest, but pretty much every guy I see is a try hard, beta white knight who can’t hold a girl down for more then 6 months.
Vast majority of the article is spot on.. but the 5 partners in one NIGHT? And I honestly don’t think many women are the center of a gangbang.. Sorry. Think some of the article was written for dramatic effect.
I do like ROK, but dramatic seems to be a theme on many articles.
Thanks VICTOR, you’re the man!!!!
TLDR – women are sexual freaks with the right guy but I don’t believe they’re throwing it out there frequently
Had pork ribs for the past two nights. Enjoyed them to the fullest. Just need some green Tabasco sauce to go with them. Definitely will be buying some more soon. Keep it coming with the interesting articles you discover, and the delicious carnivore meals.
