How can I find real advice for guys in their 20s that actually helps?

There’s a moment every guy hits in his twenties when he realizes nobody is really telling the truth.
You look around and realize most advice for men online is either outdated or cringe. It’s surface-level stuff, confidence hacks, dating “rules,” and generic productivity quotes that don’t actually help.

When I started Guyset, I wanted to build the thing I couldn’t find. Something honest. Something that feels like a real conversation, not a sales pitch or a lecture.

“There are a lot of resources like this for girls our age, but nothing really catered towards guys in their twenties.”
“Think about this as a resource guide or toolkit on all these different topics.”

That’s what Guyset is meant to be, a place to figure things out. Confidence, dating, career, lifestyle. Without pretending you’ve already got it all together.

I’m not here to give advice. I’m here to start a conversation

When I record an episode or write a post, I’m not trying to teach. I’m trying to start the kind of conversation I wish someone had started with me.

“The whole point of Guyset is to talk about the stuff guys actually think about but don’t really say out loud.”

Every idea starts as a note in my phone, a moment after a date, something awkward at work, a random thought I can’t stop replaying. I turn it into a story, not a lecture.

Because when advice comes from someone acting like they’ve figured it all out, it doesn’t land.
But when it comes from someone who’s figuring it out too, it actually means something.

That’s what I want Guyset to be. Real talk for the in-between moments.

Why guys in their 20s need this

Every week, I hear the same thing from friends and listeners.

“No one really tells you how to be confident or figure things out after college.”
“You’re just kind of expected to know.”

That’s the wild part about your twenties. It’s the most confusing decade of your life, but everyone acts like it’s supposed to make sense.

Guyset exists to give you space to sort through it.

Everything we cover, how to introduce yourself, how to know if you’re in the right job, how to move on after rejection, comes from the same place.
We’re all trying to figure it out, and most people just aren’t talking about it.

What I’m learning while building it

The more I build Guyset, the more I see how similar everyone’s experiences actually are.
Guys who think they’re the only ones struggling with confidence, rejection, or direction realize how common it all is.

“Once you start talking about this stuff, you realize everyone’s been there.”

It’s not weakness to admit you don’t have it all figured out. It’s awareness.
And awareness is where growth starts.

That’s the filter I use for everything I make.
Is it honest? Is it helpful? Does it sound human?

What makes Guyset different

Most advice content for men feels performative. It’s about image, not insight.

Guyset is different because it’s personal. It’s stories turned into lessons you can actually use.
It’s not just “how to be confident.” It’s how to act like yourself when you’re nervous at a party.
Not just “how to network.” It’s how to talk about yourself without sounding robotic.

That’s why it works. It’s for real life, not for clout.

“This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being self-aware.”

Where it’s going

Guyset is growing into a digital magazine.
A living, breathing resource guys can come back to anytime they feel lost, curious, or stuck.

Guyset.com isn’t just a podcast hub. It’s a toolkit.
Every episode becomes a story. Every story becomes a post. Every post links to the next thing you didn’t know you needed.

“Guyset is the go-to spot for guys in their twenties who actually care about becoming better.”

That’s the mission, to make this generation of men more confident, thoughtful, and self-aware, one real conversation at a time.

Final thought

Creating something that doesn’t exist yet is uncomfortable. You never really know if people will care. But if it comes from a real place, they always do.

That’s what Guyset is becoming, a place for guys who want to get better without pretending they already have it all together.

“If it doesn’t exist, create it. That’s how Guyset starts.”
