Mein Dschungel ist im Gange!!

Do you ever notice a date’s jaw drop when they come into your house and make the connection that a masculine-looking guy also has a bunch of well-kept plants? I swear a small personal jungle is one of the most effective aphrodisiacs around.

Personally, I’ve made the observation that terrible people are very unlikely to have plants at all and very thoughtful people tend to have very many plants. Anecdotal, sure, but it’s a pretty strong heuristic. You could probably have a two minute conversation with a stranger on the street and be relatively confident determining if they do or do not have houseplants.

If some part of you feels silly for showing off your plants with you in frame, just remember that it’s socially beneficial to make an example for other men to follow – or at least to compare themselves with (in opposition to Manosphere™ grade “influencers”). People worth following are uninterested in being followed, so we end up with a skewed idea of what’s popular/acceptable; many young men get swept up in that imagery only to realize the scam years or decades later.
