After the /fatpeoplehate was banned, I found that this sub was one of the most hated on reddit. Never heard of this sub until then, after that, and coming of a breakup I started devouring everything posted here. Red and blue pill stories, field reports, all of it, and now I'm currently reading the sidebar. I started to notice patterns and I got pretty angry when I found out that all this is not just true, it fuckin works. I've been a BP my entire life, being raised by a single mom, female teachers and TV didn't help. I've put some of the things I've learned into practice, I'm more outgoing and talkative, and yesterday I got the first blatant IOI. A girl I've know for 6-7 months let me go trough some pictures she had in her phone, I found some where she was half naked and when I showed her she just smiled. I got over the anger phase quickly, nasty breakups puts you in bad places. I'm lifting and got back to swimming, learned to cook, start meditation a couple of weeks ago and I'm reading a lot of books. I'm planning a solo trip next spring through Europe for 6 weeks. I don't know want will happen from now on. But this sub saved me, this is the first time in my life (21 yo) I put myself and what I want first.
