Recently I took the plunge and swallow the pill. Since then I've found myself in a gradual decline with regards to interest in women. After my own personal encounters with women recently, hearing my friends talk about them, and reading the posts here, I've just reached this point where I've completely changed my thought process about women.

Like many of you at point point, I feel like I've been lied to my whole life about how to win the affection of women. Women don't want to be treated well is the message I've learned. I read about it here and talk to my friends who assures me the same. They like to be made to feel powerless and like children. To basically be insulted and viewed like objects. They are ok with this. They desire this. These are things I have such a problem computing. Why? Why would anyone want to be treated like this? I'll never understand and I've come to the conclusion that I don't want to understand. I'm 24 and I feel like it's such an empowering feeling to realize this. When I had noting better to do I would just think about how I needed to hit up the bars and try to talk to drunk girls, because that's what guys my age do. And things never worked out with me anyways. I always went home alone, and at the end of the night I had nothing to show for my efforts other than a steep drink bill. I could have been with friends, or writing music, or reading books, but instead I had chose to spend my nights fawning over women and thinking about which one of them I could have sex with. Now I just feel so confident in myself, and yet I have no desire to go pick up girls anymore. I'm starting my career in a great field with a great job that pays well, I live on my own in the city of Austin in a nice apartment, and I've got plenty going on for me. I feel like I've gained that confidence that makes me think I could have anyone I wanted, but I don't want them. My lust is a minimal. I went from thinking about sex and girls all the time to virtually none. I rarely even masturbate or watch porn now because I'm not interested. I'd rather go work out or head to the park.

I don't know if this is the intended effect of TRP, but I feel like this is what it's done for me. For better or worse I feel great. I feel like I have so much time to explore what ever I want and I can afford to do it. My friend invited me to go to Asia with him. A few months ago I would have been tied up with some girl or thinking about how I needed to be with someone, but not anymore. I could care less about girls and sex. I'm not interested in putting on this persona for women of the asshole or the alpha they want. I want real conversations and real experiences. Like I said, for better or for worse I feel great. I feel free. The world is my oyster and I'm going to take my opportunities. I'm going to go to Asia and see the world. I'm going to explore new hobbies and meet interesting people. I'm going to do all this while not worrying about some girl. This is my time and I intend to keep I want to keep it that way.

And yet for all the good I feel I just can't help but wonder "is this normal?". I'm at the prime in my life and my sex drive is so low. I look at women indifferently for the first time in my life. My focus is on everything but them. I just don't care anymore. Is this normal?
