Next step down the line is friend group. If the homeys all say he smells like ass he’ll likely fall in line: The power of peer pressure. Of course if they also have fallen for whatever dudebro podcast dipshit logic kiddo has fallen for, then your next step is respected adult- Preacher/Teacher/Whatever other Male Role Model. It’s important that the respected adult be male since kiddo thinks its a manliness thing.
You could also have the conversation of what kiddo thinks manliness actually entails and who embodies it, because that will likely also tell you a lot of things. If he’s idolizing Andrew Tate, for example, then hoo boy, you’re in for a time.
He has a girlfriend… both I’d say.
Well until she dumps for sucking at life… Not much to be done haha
