I have found similar truth in my own existence...

Modernity has too many ills to name.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 13 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Huge thanks to the OP for the article, and huge thanks to you for moderating this subreddit.

Strangely enough, I'm bipolar, and my life is almost exactly like the article. ( Before the man made the changes to become a successful, modern, non-castrated male. )

One comment stuck out in particular:

This post is kind of scary because I was thinking along many of the same lines. I was out with a 24 year old 8, with 9.9 breasts, and the evening was headed in the predictable direction of us hanging out at the bar until late, getting sloppy drunk, and them me banging her. And when I thought through the night’s likely trajectory, it wasn’t worth it. I just went home around 11 pm. The girl was shocked. She ran up to the door to try to give me a passionate kiss goodnight and I kissed her and left

It made me question what it is deep down that I truly want when it comes to trying to pick up cute chicks. While they have to satisfy a bare minimum level of hotness to even be considered, I realized that after those prerequisites what I am truly looking for is VIRTUE. And I know its very very rare in american women. But absent female virtue, I would rather beat off to porn and then do my own thing than to waste my evening getting drunk, chasing tail that I won’t even appreciate, and then feeling like crap the next day because of the booze and regret

Maybe this is giving up, or MGTOW. I’m not trying to make a statement or anything. I just don’t have the motivation anymore

The trad con is strong with this one, and many of us.

Chasing pussy is beneath building and maintaining societies.

[–]SequencingLife6 points7 points8 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I don't even chase women.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Me neither, they are generally a waste of time for anything other than masturbating inside of.

Dating has got to be the most contrived and dishonest way of getting to know someone.

So many first dates go like this:

Meet up, chat "If we go to your house, we're not having sex." Get in taxi, open door to my apartment "Do you have condoms?" If not, she is still down to bang

Rinse, repeat ad nauseum. I even made a couple sex tapes with chicks.

I won't stop until I am Sinatra 2.0

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

You mean you'll become Jmac or James Deen?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 13 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Nah. I'll bring back refined masculinity to our feminized and disposable society.

[–]zionController1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Hey, can you give me a break down of your paleo diet? I'm looking at getting into it

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Enjoying a cigar right now, when I get home I'll shoot you a PM.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Yeah modernity has a lot of ills, but to go full reactionary? Extrapolation from one guy rubs me the wrong way. Why go less secular? Just because one way didn't work means you go full 1950's? We're concerned with the misappropriation of gender roles here, not a harking back to religion and mysticism.

[–]Heuristics0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

"Why go less secular?"

http://scholar.google.com

type in: religiosity + anything else

From the point of view of empirical science there are quite a few good correlations there.

[–]zionController-1 points0 points1 point 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

For starters, religiosity has a significant impact on crime reduction and out of wedlock births.

I don't care if John Q. Citizen doesn't believe in higher power, civilizations need religiosity so they don't tear themselves apart.
