I have been going my own way since I was 16 in high school after coming across this subreddit purely by chance. Seems as though luck has favored me since what I have learned by continuing to reading extensively on this subreddit has translated into personal success.

As a first-year university student, I have had the opportunity to watch both my male peers succumb to their dangerous biological instincts and my female peers perpetuate this nonsense. The “red pill rage” phase has long passed for me and I occupy myself amply with studies and volunteer work which keeps my mind away from women and towards progress. The idea of a suitable woman has been forever tarnished for me and I amicably accepted that long ago.

Having been enlightened at such a young age, I am beginning to feel as though I have “won” the game by not playing at all. I continue to mature while living my life on my own terms. I have never engaged with a woman sexually and do not feel driven to due to my engrained MGTOW beliefs. My brain has developed through my adolescence around the ideas shared here which facilitates my firm adherence to full monk mode.

However, I have become jaded after reading this subreddit. Maybe I have stumbled across the darker aspects of life before even living long enough to experience the myself, not that I care to and I am thankful that I have not. I deeply respect the advise of those elder to me and hearing your stories was more than enough to steer me 180 degrees away from the hassle.

What would you give to once again have a clean slate?
