Regardless of what "MGTOW level" you're currently on (hopefully you're progressing in the right direction), primitive and nurtured instincts with regards to the other gender flare up occassionally. This seemingly inescapable instincts scare the crap out of me, and i'm hoping we can use this medium to share our experiences and proven strategies for overcoming this inner evil.

Instincts that cause men to refuse physical altercations (this is in our interest unless we're in danger), lift heavy items for women (even strangers) and generally treat them as though they were delicate are not the top of my concerns.

Instincts that cause us to: get excited (sexual and non-sexual) when women are around, think of marriage in a positive light for a few seconds and then have to remind ourselves of the well-documented dangers (i'm suspect i'm not alone in this regard), fall into a relationship because of the judgment-clouding powers of the male-sex drive (for those of you still gambling with women) threaten our supreme priority, Happiness (especially that due to freedom from the shackles of gynocentrism).

What is the most painful experience that you've learnt from?
Which maladaptive traits whether in you or manifested by others concern you?
What tips do you have for overcoming specific traits?
What do you think are the enemies of man?
