Kevin Samuels gained massive followers with videos titled “Why are women so angry?” and “Do modern women owe men?” While many of his teachings, advice, and beliefs were very controversial, he surely knew how to get the public talking.
While some disagreed with Samuels’ teachings, others saw him as the best male influencer for both rising and seasoned men.
