Magic Mike ain’t got sh*t on me lol. Thank you everyone for listening. My book will be out fall of 2022. Just search my name for all socials . Peace ✌️
I love this man's openness, honesty and non-judgmental attitude. He's really engaging and friendly; and seems to be genuinely empathetic and a good person. I wish him much success
I have known and considered this guy one of my closest friends for around 20 years and let me tell you this is exactly who he is, there is no faking his personality. He is talking to the interviewer like how he would talk to me or anyone he meets. He is truly one of a kind. Love ya brother
This man is very open and accepting. He's the difference between "confident" and "narcissist" which people tend to use interchangeably. Narcissism is confidence covering insecurity. Confidence is the expression of security. As Masin said, "it's got to be in your personality." He just so happens to be aware of his.
You cant diagnose someone based on one video. Even psychologists have a hard time properly diagnosing narcisists, psychopaths, sociopaths etc. Also because it is APD or NPD are spread out over spectrums and can have overlap with other personality disorders such as BPD for example. Dont put people in boxes for no reason. Not everyone is a narcisist. Its easier to look at yourself and inward to create healthy self love and boundaries against such so called narcisists instead of "diagnosing" everyone aka putting labels on people to judge them. People with BPD for example can show traits of narcisism but in fact are greatly suffering from their own lack of controlling their emotions and traumas. Putting them in such a box is very hurtful and unfair to them. The best you can do is establish healthy boundaries for yourself and protect yourself instead of blaming other people for the suffering in your life. Sorry for the long post. Im not trying to attack you, just educate you.
@@bodaciousbethany0 loving a child is simply not enough, they need to feel loved with your time, conversation, understanding, encouragement etc. Those are all building blocks that devlope a healthy kid.
I didn’t want this one to end! He had such an uplifting spirit and awesome energy! I know many of the other interviewees have had some real tough walks of life which reflects in the stories they tell but this guy was so different from all the others and I really enjoyed his interview.
I love that he takes care of his 90 year old grandpa. That is awesome, everyone would be so lucky to have a family member that could care for them in their old age.
When I was a child, the county I lived in was wrapped up in illegal gambling. Moose Lodge, VFW and all the bars. My mother was raped by the one in control and just a side note, this is Canadian County, OK. The same place they put the Cheyenne and Arapaho on a prairie dog farm and more resently, aminal experiments.
That’s what keep him with a positive outlook. He is not fucking to give it all to a pimp or getting beat up. He made it into a successful career. I’m sure he has a nice car and money saved up. He had a plan. He is intelligent and charismatic.
@@themedinacrown7654 Something tells me is isn't. I could be wrong-who knows? My sense is that he is happy, doing what he loves and is happy to share his spirit.
Out of all of Mark's guest on SWU, I would say Mr. Knox is the most genuinely happiest of all. Added bonus of his humility, kindness (example: mindfulness in selecting the right words to not offend others), fun, and enlighten.
Damn Masin's interview brings back so many memories... im a couple years older (40) than him and danced from 2006-2010. It helped me to fund my second degree... its hilarious how society used to pay me 10x more per unit time from taking my clothes off vs. Saving lives! Good for Masin for doing it all these years! Its tough to stay ripped and jacked as you age. I hit my peak at 25... wish i still looked like that.
Loved his energy. Probably my favorite interview ♥️ His openness and his perspective on things and life, to just see him being happy whatever he does and respectful x Good person
I was so happy to see your follow up! I rewatched this, from a year before, and immediately recall why so many of us love listening to you. You’re just so authentic and entertaining. Stay healthy.
This has to be one of my favorite interviews. I love his attitude a personality but I especially love his perspective on men vs women who PAY for a stripper. Please do more male stripper interviews and ask them similar questions about their clients and how they are treated by women vs the other way around. So interesting from a gender difference/psychology standpoint.
I love so much that he acknowledges that there's a difference, that he is aware that it absolutely has to do with men demeaning women, that his job is not dangerous the way it would be for a woman, and that even the expectation of full nudity from every female stripper is flipped to "extra option" when a man is stripping for women. I am interested in what differences,if any, he's noticed between stripping for a group of young women, .soccer moms, middleaged, elderly, and stripping for a group of gay men.
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned? Be positive. Treat everyone with kindness. This seem to be the common thread among the happiest people. Whether it’s coming from Clifford in Appalachia (“you gotta be gentle”) or Masin in Vegas. Truer words have never been spoken. Keep enjoying doing you Mason! ❤️
This was a great interview. I could hear about this guy's experiences all day. Wow such a cool guy. Hopefully you bring him back for more interviews! So interesting
I love the cheerfulness he brings to this channel. I love so many people who Mark interviewed so far, but this guy is my favourite. I can totally imagine having few drinks with him and listenign to all his stories.
One of the few people who doesn't seem damaged. I'm sure he has his issues, who doesn't. He has great energy (100%! lol) and seems like he wants to share positivity. I'd love to see more of him.
I would love to see a follow up with this guy. While I find many of these interviews incredible and all of them at least interesting, so many are just soul shattering. This was a welcome change of pace without sacrificing the overall intent of the series.
Absofknlutely lol couldn’t have possibly said it any better myself. Agree 1000% man. Past few I’ve watched (& partially binged) have been most definitely beyond soul shattering for me so I can def feel that lmao💯🥴😩😭😭😭💀
He reminds me of a person that's in denial of his pain. There's no way his dad passing at such a young age and mom just abandoned him, not affected him.
Upbringing, supportive family, & plenty of love make all the difference in a person. Good to see a different type of interview! One of the best things about this channel is the way it consistently challenges my preconceived notions. Everyone judges, everyone. I do it, without meaning to, & I’m always pleasantly surprised by the way the actual interview challenges my initial opinion based solely on aesthetics.
That last story had me sitting here with my jaw on the ground! Lmao….I’m like is this dude really sitting here just casually saying this for the whole world to hear. Then after I picked my jaw up, I’m like yep he sure is 😂😂
So refreshing to see an episode with a person content with his career and life. Masin has a genuine and honest vibe. Would love to hear more of his stories! Great conversation, the pair of you!
So far the best guest ever. So lively, fun & omg would love to know his stories!! Crazy lol. Was entertained the whole time. Even if hes not stripping a performance, his personality fits right into “entertainment” because he just naturally has that vibe and energy. Caz even sharing a story was so fun so listen!
This has been recommended to me for Months and I finally watched it and sooo glad I did!!! I love this guy he has such a great attitude and he is just living his life and not hurting anyone by doing it ❤️
Omgosh….this guy is adorable! His follow up just came up in my queue and I got about 5 minutes in and had to come watch this first. So fun. You can totally tell he’s just a good dude at heart. Thanks for sharing Masin!!
This was a very entertaining interview. Love listening to people's stories and Masin seems like a very cool, chill, descent human being. Thank you for sharing and I hope he comes back in a future video. Keep being you Masin, your energy/vibe is fantastic.
18:14 he was asked if he ever gets depressed and he says "quite the opposite" then starts talking about meeting celebrities. He dodged that question like a bullet. He seems like a really good person and I just hope that when all his fun is over that he is truly happy.
@@karleet that's some creative military terminology right there I genuinely find you pretty cool just from a few words :) what I'm trying to express is basically why those words? This might sound a little misogynistic but it's super cool to hear a girl talk about fighter craft counter measures. Is that something people say where you're from or are you familiar with it from hobbies, interests, or family/friend background?
Love this man's energy! I'm glad his parents are supportive of him doing what he enjoys. Having to hide your sexuality/sexual comfort zone from family as though it's something to be ashamed of really sucks. I was shamed by my mom when she thought I was having sex...so I know I can never tell her that I'm bisexual. It's sad because we can never be as close as I would like.
I once saw a very handsome guy in a strip club. He danced like it was ART. All the guys that work there are poor. But then I saw this guy in a posh restaurant and he is Rich. He just likes to make people happy.
OMG I love his honesty talking about transsexuals. This right here is a man that is very secure with himself. He just gets better and better the longer I watch this video.
The questions he asked were not derogatory and allowed Masin to get excited and feel heard when strippers are almost never spoken to or interviewed like that publicly which I appreciate. What he said about most women’s intentions when hiring a stripper vs. most men’s is pretty telling when it comes to some differences between men and women and their overall threat to society/responsibility for the problem. The sex work industry is extremely dangerous for women but not that way for people like Masin.
AWESOME Interview and Person! I didn't want this to end either - he has some great stories. What beautiful vibes - I feel like this guy is my buddy, lol, lol. Sounds like he wants to do another interview and share more fun - looking forward to it! Great job 👏 Mark, again.
@@throughmyeyes9940 oh, for chrissakes. Maybe, just maybe, people are just what they appear to be. I guess if you dig deep enough, everybody has something to deal with. If so, he is handling it just fine.
@@MoonbeamBear61 I see that too, but clearly he's got whatever drug use he does under control. Nothing about him screams "meth head". He might just be on adderall which is not the same.
He is absolutely adorable! This line of work is not for everyone and he certainly takes pride and sounds so happy talking about his accomplishments- congratulations!
Honestly this is my favorite interview for sure on this channel. This guy is so interesting but also seems like such a genuinely good human being. Loved hearing his story!
This dudes personality and energy is phenomenal.. Just a great attitude towards anything. The way he engages in his story's and don't judge anyone is such a vibe. Keep killin' it broo.! Don't ever change.
One of the best SWU interviews ever! I found myself really, really liking this guy. He has what I would describe as a genuinely healthy attitude toward sex work. Usually I want to cry after listening to the stories on this site, so this was a welcome tonic. Thanks so much for posting. And for all your incredible work, Mark. Much appreciated!
I got divorced in the SF Bay Area, post divorce dating. The SF Bay Area has a significant amount of Persians. And as a Caucasian man I'll ummm say...Persian ladies are straight up sex bombs! Not saying sluts but when they're into you look out!
Your best oral is indisputably storytelling! So engaging, confident, yet humble, just a great character. Thank you for such a compelling and fascinating glimpse into your life as a male stripper.
My husband died suddenly when our 3 youngest sons were 7, 6 and 6. It is so difficult for a family to survive that. Each person comes close to breaking. I talk to many widowed parents every day. Parenting grieving children, getting them through it, while you are grieving, at that insane level of grief, shock and absolute devastation, is one of the toughest jobs on earth. Give your Mom a hug. 💕
Hope you are doing well. I think the parent left behind loses the will to parent in a way. You are meant to do it together, then you are suddenly alone.
Great interview: Couldn’t get enough of his interesting life.. Love his personality n openness.. Please bring him back!! Best wishes to you both in the New Year 2022. San Francisco, California
This guy is awesome! He's a good story teller and has some fantastic stories. While I could kind of see the Legolas cosplay strip, I'm still laughing over what stripping as Columbo must have been like! "...There's just one more thing!" 😂😂😂
Great interview Masin! You have such a charismatic personality and how lovely that you are caring for your Grandpa❣️Pretty sure I’m not the only one who would like to see you on here again for more stories!
I came back to this video just to say, please bring Masin back. He seems to just be able to talk for hours and he is one entertaining guy to listen to.
Something tells me there are some deeper issues here. Great guy, but I don’t think he is being open about some of the stories that have led him to start dancing. Yeah. Family being ok with their kid dancing naked for people in front of them? Support from afar is good but that’s odd. Way deeper issues here.
Nah some people can just be supportive bc they don’t view sex work as a bad thing, which they shouldn’t. Sex workers are only feeding a demand that others have created. And luckily it makes $$$
@@femininejewel to some people it isn’t. To a lot, it can feel like everything when you don’t have anything else. And to some, they just like money lol. Let people live their lives regardless
Family were happy he's happy, as he clearly is. They might not have imagined that for him when he was a kid, and they might have found the experience a bit.. etched into their memories, but.. their family member was having a great time so "hey, you be you!" ..is my guess. But that's nothing, wait till they watch this video! - It's all out there now anyway! ;-)
Being a stripper is one thing. Being a stripper in Vegas is a whole different world. This man has for sure seen and heard EVERYTHING. He is super hot, but his personality is even hotter.
He's certainly entertaining and appears to be a pretty genuine dude. I love how he takes care of his old stepdad, it really does say a lot about the kind of guy he is.
....thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. What a difference in perspective. You are really getting down through the human experience to show the rest of us ourselves, is what I want to say. I'd love to interview YOU!! Well done Sir, well done. Gratitude. Truth.
What a breath of fresh air going from the Nick hawk interview to Masin Knox. Nick was very egotistical and all over the place, cocky, and not overly friendly to the interviewer. Luckily comments were turned off on that video or I wouldn't have nice things to say, which is odd for him being some self proclaimed help guru. Masin is so down to earth, funny, humble, and just overall interesting. Love, and appreciated the the interview. Thank you!
He's obviously adjusted somewhat well, but you can tell he has an underlying nervousness. He must have confidence, but I truly believe it's a mask for someone who is very insecure on the inside. If I was in a conversation with him, I couldn't relax. His body language and vocal inflections indicate that his mind is racing.
I agree 100%. Nobody confident answers “am i?” When told they are confident. I hear a who?! What?! Huh?! Where?! Amialright?! Everythingcool?! In his voice. Very wound up but practiced at presenting as confident. I used to be similar until I relaxed and am actually confident now, and consequently, very relaxed. Likable guy though for sure.
I feel like I talk just like him (excited but nervous) and i worry that I can’t make ppl feel comfortable. In my case it’s because of all my life trauma…
What I find amazing about the male interviewees in particular is that they actually really care about other people and don't judge. They are so emotionally intelligent and comfortable in who they are. I wish more people were like this!
Men are some of the most loving, compassionate and caring creatures on this planet but have been emotionally strangled by society into not showing it. It’s upsetting.
Patrick hi I'm Jack from fort Lauderdale Florida Patrick would you like to make a hot gay movie with me ❤️ you and me I'm 52 yrs old and I have green eyes 🍏💚 brown hair I'm 5 ft 6 ins I'm not bed looking so do you want to and we can make lots of money 💲💰💰 doing this so can you thank about it daddy 🔥🔥🔥
I would love to hear more stories from him. I love his perspective views on the differences between men and women. Walking into different walks of life at parties and clubs.
It's great to see someone has control of their own life in the way they choose.he seems happy & confident & generally happy with his choices.i love that he wants to share his stories & the fact that even though he has seen so much,he is still in awe of & surprised by the difference in people yet realising the similarities.but I do have a niggling thought wether his continual talking without much of a break is to mask the fact that maybe deep down to a small degree there are some things he doesn't feel happy about with himself or his life.therefore he is not leaving much room for Mark to ask any questions that could make him feel vulnerable by having to be open & answer them.in this way by doing all the talking he is controlling the conversation & the direction of the conversation& what he is open about......just saying those are my thoughts ..but in all a very refreshing interview & a great guy.
It's interesting to notice that a male stripper doesn't feel used by his clients despite being clearly objectified, which is almost impossible for female strippers according to what I've seen on this channel. Beautiful interview once again.
Well, we just saw 1 person, who knows how male strippers feel if they had to make their money by stripping for only male customers. He talked about stepping into that gay bar, and having to leave, because he wasn't ready for that. Women are patronized in this world, but you know that.
They do what they want. If the women want him do do something he doesn't do, he refuses. It's harder for female strippers. This guy has a perfect personality for his job. Good for him. 100%
I appreciate how open you are. The main thing that I really admire is how you embrace Straight people and the LGBT community, as well. Kudos to you. and best to you Mason. Great interview!
@@shanesullivan5918 um? Because he’s working? If men come into the bar willing to pay to be degraded, why wouldn’t he? And how is it his fault? Liking being humiliated and degraded is a kink that he doesn’t have control over
This one was really good and, as much as I like almost all of the videos, a nice change of pace. Still interesting, incisive, etc. but not so deeply sad as many of them.
Magic Mike ain’t got sh*t on me lol. Thank you everyone for listening. My book will be out fall of 2022. Just search my name for all socials . Peace ✌️

💯💯😂😂
Hoping everything is going well with you Matt. I think I’ve seen you in his videos right? If not I’m sorry man.✌🏻
His answer to "Are you gay?" is so refreshing perfectly authentic!
He is speeding,been there,done it.
Potty mouth, to each his own
Oh yeah, he's definitely speeding.
Time stamp?
@@ruthgraham2406 What’s “speeding?”
This has been recommended to me for Months and I finally watched it and sooo glad I did!!! I love this guy he has such a great attitude and he is just living his life and not hurting anyone by doing it ❤️
Damage to souls is not easily seen
Omgosh….this guy is adorable! His follow up just came up in my queue and I got about 5 minutes in and had to come watch this first. So fun. You can totally tell he’s just a good dude at heart. Thanks for sharing Masin!!
This was a very entertaining interview. Love listening to people's stories and Masin seems like a very cool, chill, descent human being. Thank you for sharing and I hope he comes back in a future video. Keep being you Masin, your energy/vibe is fantastic.
18:14 he was asked if he ever gets depressed and he says "quite the opposite" then starts talking about meeting celebrities. He dodged that question like a bullet. He seems like a really good person and I just hope that when all his fun is over that he is truly happy.
18:59 when he stutters and says, “it’s the quite opposite” for the second time. It feels a bit contrived.
Classic chaff and redirect
Lol. I believe he meant what he said, “Quite the opposite,” nuff said.
I feel like he was trying to convince himself how great everything is. I wish him the best.
@@karleet that's some creative military terminology right there I genuinely find you pretty cool just from a few words :) what I'm trying to express is basically why those words? This might sound a little misogynistic but it's super cool to hear a girl talk about fighter craft counter measures. Is that something people say where you're from or are you familiar with it from hobbies, interests, or family/friend background?
First time i’m having a smile on my face while watching one of your interviews!
Love this man's energy! I'm glad his parents are supportive of him doing what he enjoys. Having to hide your sexuality/sexual comfort zone from family as though it's something to be ashamed of really sucks. I was shamed by my mom when she thought I was having sex...so I know I can never tell her that I'm bisexual. It's sad because we can never be as close as I would like.
I once saw a very handsome guy in a strip club. He danced like it was ART. All the guys that work there are poor. But then I saw this guy in a posh restaurant and he is Rich. He just likes to make people happy.
I think she knows, now!
Lol
OMG I love his honesty talking about transsexuals. This right here is a man that is very secure with himself. He just gets better and better the longer I watch this video.
pretty much.😀
you'll love his youtube page then. He's blowing transsexuals
You are totally right, he's brilliant @4:38
His TH-cam page does not have any content, unfortunately.
@@KingAndrew5000
was that you favorite part?😊
I loved the questions you asked him. It’s such an important perspective to hear the difference between what male and female strippers experiences are.
Elana...can you please elaborate on that?
The questions he asked were not derogatory and allowed Masin to get excited and feel heard when strippers are almost never spoken to or interviewed like that publicly which I appreciate. What he said about most women’s intentions when hiring a stripper vs. most men’s is pretty telling when it comes to some differences between men and women and their overall threat to society/responsibility for the problem. The sex work industry is extremely dangerous for women but not that way for people like Masin.
This guy is so straight up and real. He's got a great attitude. I think this is one of the best interviews you have done.
AWESOME Interview and Person! I didn't want this to end either - he has some great stories. What beautiful vibes - I feel like this guy is my buddy, lol, lol. Sounds like he wants to do another interview and share more fun - looking forward to it! Great job 👏 Mark, again.
Been binge-watching the tragedies highlighted on this channel. This interview was life-giving in comparison. ...A breath of fresh air.
Fkn sameee😅😅😭😩😂😂💀💀💀
Seems he’s speaking every single thought he has. Doesn’t skip a thing. That’s awesome
maybe that's to cover up his real emotions
@@throughmyeyes9940 oh, for chrissakes. Maybe, just maybe, people are just what they appear to be. I guess if you dig deep enough, everybody has something to deal with. If so, he is handling it just fine.
@@b1k2q34 doubt it. His energy screams methamphetamine to me.
@@MoonbeamBear61 I see that too, but clearly he's got whatever drug use he does under control. Nothing about him screams "meth head". He might just be on adderall which is not the same.
@@bobshenix I've done both, they're both speed & have similar affects.
this dude got confidence out of this world, also he's hilarious. Great and interesting interview!
He is absolutely adorable! This line of work is not for everyone and he certainly takes pride and sounds so happy talking about his accomplishments- congratulations!
He should start his own TH-cam channel. Idk if he'd get monetized, but his story times would be awesome.
He's got an awesome personality!!!
His TH-cam channel is pinned in the very top of the comments.
Annnnnd he had an Onlyfans. Dear lord help me 😭 😂
That’s exactly what I said!!!
L
Honestly this is my favorite interview for sure on this channel. This guy is so interesting but also seems like such a genuinely good human being. Loved hearing his story!
Unrelated I know and apologies for being completely random. Have you watched any of the Dancing Bear Party’s?
This is one of The Best Interviews yet! Thank you, I laughed, a follow up sometime would be nice.. Love you Mr. Mark L...
I fucking love this guy 😂 This was such a fun interview to watch and listen to, Mark!
This was refreshing to watch, I love his don't give a fuck attitude, he looks really fun.
This was so entertaining! Masin & Frenchie have been 2 of the best interviews. Would love to hear more of his stories,
I couldn't even watch the whole Frenchie interview.
Frenchie was my ''favorite'' too but her and Masin are not in the same range of sex working as Exemple Amanda. Its ''easier'' too watch for us.
@@b1k2q34 She's a real professional Frenchie, that's for damn sure!
Omg YESSSS
This guy is awesome, Frenchie was "Ugh"
This dudes personality and energy is phenomenal.. Just a great attitude towards anything. The way he engages in his story's and don't judge anyone is such a vibe. Keep killin' it broo.! Don't ever change.
This dude is awesome. You can tell he really likes ppl and fun. Love it, his joy is contagious.
One of the best SWU interviews ever! I found myself really, really liking this guy. He has what I would describe as a genuinely healthy attitude toward sex work. Usually I want to cry after listening to the stories on this site, so this was a welcome tonic. Thanks so much for posting. And for all your incredible work, Mark. Much appreciated!
To see and hear the honesty and openness of your interviewees - all of them - is genuinely uplifting Mark Laita.. Thanks...
As a Persian woman, I loved the part he talks highly about us 😂😂😂 great interview! Love it 😊
He just called you whores
Pretty
I got divorced in the SF Bay Area, post divorce dating. The SF Bay Area has a significant amount of Persians. And as a Caucasian man I'll ummm say...Persian ladies are straight up sex bombs! Not saying sluts but when they're into you look out!
I need to find me a Persian girl now lol, yall sound awesome
You really are so beautiful women
Easily one of my favorite interviews! Would love a 2nd one of him!
Your best oral is indisputably storytelling! So engaging, confident, yet humble, just a great character. Thank you for such a compelling and fascinating glimpse into your life as a male stripper.
My husband died suddenly when our 3 youngest sons were 7, 6 and 6. It is so difficult for a family to survive that. Each person comes close to breaking. I talk to many widowed parents every day. Parenting grieving children, getting them through it, while you are grieving, at that insane level of grief, shock and absolute devastation, is one of the toughest jobs on earth. Give your Mom a hug. 💕
My condolences 🙏🏽❤️
Why this comment on this interview?
@@dkleine9168 because he talked about his dad dying at a young age.
@@fellowviewer1095 gotcha
Hope you are doing well. I think the parent left behind loses the will to parent in a way. You are meant to do it together, then you are suddenly alone.
Great interview: Couldn’t get enough of his interesting life.. Love his personality n openness.. Please bring him back!! Best wishes to you both in the New Year 2022. San Francisco, California
This guy is awesome! He's a good story teller and has some fantastic stories. While I could kind of see the Legolas cosplay strip, I'm still laughing over what stripping as Columbo must have been like! "...There's just one more thing!" 😂😂😂
This was the wildest interview from you I've seen....and you've put out some of the greatest ones.
This guy is on fire! Great interview
Please make this guy into a series. I'd watch about 4 maybe 5 videos of this dude. I love the honesty and these stories are great.
Masin seems like a genuine guy with great energy. I found myself smiling while watching his interview. :) Must be nice to love your job.
I'd GLADLY pay for this guys confidence and spirit! He seems like a GENUINELY nice guy.
And this folks is what happens when we support our children instead of tearing them down...
Yes, Kimberly! Loving them with validation.
💯
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Yah, right. Smh.
He would not be doing this then
Great interview Masin! You have such a charismatic personality and how lovely that you are caring for your Grandpa❣️Pretty sure I’m not the only one who would like to see you on here again for more stories!
I definitely could listen to him talk all day. Enjoyed this interview!
I came back to this video just to say, please bring Masin back. He seems to just be able to talk for hours and he is one entertaining guy to listen to.
Something tells me there are some deeper issues here. Great guy, but I don’t think he is being open about some of the stories that have led him to start dancing. Yeah. Family being ok with their kid dancing naked for people in front of them? Support from afar is good but that’s odd. Way deeper issues here.
U right.
Nah some people can just be supportive bc they don’t view sex work as a bad thing, which they shouldn’t. Sex workers are only feeding a demand that others have created. And luckily it makes $$$
@@uglyboynat5743 sss is not everything.
@@femininejewel to some people it isn’t. To a lot, it can feel like everything when you don’t have anything else. And to some, they just like money lol. Let people live their lives regardless
Family were happy he's happy, as he clearly is. They might not have imagined that for him when he was a kid, and they might have found the experience a bit.. etched into their memories, but.. their family member was having a great time so "hey, you be you!" ..is my guess. But that's nothing, wait till they watch this video! - It's all out there now anyway! ;-)
Mark, this has been, IMHO, your most entertaining interview yet. Keep up the good work!
Have you seen Frenchie? She's amazing! Great storytelling too
Absolutely enjoy your site. This fellow is amazing to listen to. Such wisdom and genuiness
Hilarious and seems like a very genuine guy. Wished it was longer.
Being a stripper is one thing. Being a stripper in Vegas is a whole different world. This man has for sure seen and heard EVERYTHING. He is super hot, but his personality is even hotter.
He's certainly entertaining and appears to be a pretty genuine dude. I love how he takes care of his old stepdad, it really does say a lot about the kind of guy he is.
....thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. What a difference in perspective. You are really getting down through the human experience to show the rest of us ourselves, is what I want to say. I'd love to interview YOU!! Well done Sir, well done. Gratitude. Truth.
watch his interview with no jumper
I love this dude! Such a great outlook on life and his work.
What a breath of fresh air going from the Nick hawk interview to Masin Knox. Nick was very egotistical and all over the place, cocky, and not overly friendly to the interviewer. Luckily comments were turned off on that video or I wouldn't have nice things to say, which is odd for him being some self proclaimed help guru.
Masin is so down to earth, funny, humble, and just overall interesting. Love, and appreciated the the interview. Thank you!
thought this one was gonna be a boring interview but he was honestly so chill and funny i would love to hear more of his stories 😭🤍
He's obviously adjusted somewhat well, but you can tell he has an underlying nervousness. He must have confidence, but I truly believe it's a mask for someone who is very insecure on the inside. If I was in a conversation with him, I couldn't relax. His body language and vocal inflections indicate that his mind is racing.
Thank you. Seems like a decent man, but there's something off about him. I thought maybe meth. He makes me nervous, lol.
I agree 100%. Nobody confident answers “am i?” When told they are confident. I hear a who?! What?! Huh?! Where?! Amialright?! Everythingcool?! In his voice. Very wound up but practiced at presenting as confident. I used to be similar until I relaxed and am actually confident now, and consequently, very relaxed. Likable guy though for sure.
I feel like I talk just like him (excited but nervous) and i worry that I can’t make ppl feel comfortable. In my case it’s because of all my life trauma…
@Gina1 who are you to judge him? You must be a failure
He seems excited and maybe is a hyper person, regardless love his enthusiasm :)
What I find amazing about the male interviewees in particular is that they actually really care about other people and don't judge. They are so emotionally intelligent and comfortable in who they are. I wish more people were like this!
Men are some of the most loving, compassionate and caring creatures on this planet but have been emotionally strangled by society into not showing it. It’s upsetting.
Patrick hi I'm Jack from fort Lauderdale Florida Patrick would you like to make a hot gay movie with me ❤️ you and me I'm 52 yrs old and I have green eyes 🍏💚 brown hair I'm 5 ft 6 ins I'm not bed looking so do you want to and we can make lots of money 💲💰💰 doing this so can you thank about it daddy 🔥🔥🔥
Another solid gold interview. This guy is very interesting, and has a great out view on life and people. 👍👍
More of these Mark!!!! Amazing interview. I want to read his book.
I would love to hear more stories from him. I love his perspective views on the differences between men and women. Walking into different walks of life at parties and clubs.
It's great to see someone has control of their own life in the way they choose.he seems happy & confident & generally happy with his choices.i love that he wants to share his stories & the fact that even though he has seen so much,he is still in awe of & surprised by the difference in people yet realising the similarities.but I do have a niggling thought wether his continual talking without much of a break is to mask the fact that maybe deep down to a small degree there are some things he doesn't feel happy about with himself or his life.therefore he is not leaving much room for Mark to ask any questions that could make him feel vulnerable by having to be open & answer them.in this way by doing all the talking he is controlling the conversation & the direction of the conversation& what he is open about......just saying those are my thoughts ..but in all a very refreshing interview & a great guy.
I really enjoyed this one. He seems like a guy that would do a good motivation speech. I cant wait for this guys book to come out.
He is very likable bc he is so respectful of everyone.
Yh 😊
Clear, straight to the point, very considered, no BS and very articulate. I really enjoyed listening to this guy.
He’s incredibly entertaining! Bring him back!!
Loved this interview. So casual and non judgmental and just an all round awesome guy. Would love to hire him someday.
This guy needs his own channel. I could listen to his crazy stories for hours. Highly entertaining.
Exactly what I was thinking ☺️
His comment is pinned at the top now for any future reference.
I could listen to this guy share stories all day. He seems like such a good dude, I would also love to hear of his book when finished
Very interesting interview!I could listen to him for hours as his stories are crazy.I guess that means I should look for his book and buy it!😉
He seems so wholesome and happy. He also seems actually very kind. Nice to see.
It's interesting to notice that a male stripper doesn't feel used by his clients despite being clearly objectified, which is almost impossible for female strippers according to what I've seen on this channel. Beautiful interview once again.
Well, we just saw 1 person, who knows how male strippers feel if they had to make their money by stripping for only male customers. He talked about stepping into that gay bar, and having to leave, because he wasn't ready for that. Women are patronized in this world, but you know that.
Cultural
@@e.priest8937 Patriarchy.
They do what they want. If the women want him do do something he doesn't do, he refuses. It's harder for female strippers. This guy has a perfect personality for his job. Good for him. 100%
@@e.priest8937 you're a clown
I appreciate how open you are. The main thing that I really admire is how you embrace Straight people and the LGBT community, as well. Kudos to you. and best to you Mason. Great interview!
I mean I get what you mean... but like he also takes money from insecure gay men to degrade them...
@@shanesullivan5918 um? Because he’s working? If men come into the bar willing to pay to be degraded, why wouldn’t he? And how is it his fault? Liking being humiliated and degraded is a kink that he doesn’t have control over
Godless
This guy is a damn legend. His positivity is so refreshing!
This one was really good and, as much as I like almost all of the videos, a nice change of pace. Still interesting, incisive, etc. but not so deeply sad as many of them.
