I wasn't left for Chad. I was left for a guy who wasn't an asshole. He's fatter than me, makes less money than me, and plays video games a lot more than I do. I think he might be two inches taller, so hardly relevant. He is a cool nerd or something along those lines. Disturbingly, he looks like me back when I gained a bunch of weight.

She blew off my attempts to reconcile to date this guy. He's just a normal, nice guy with his life together. Definitely not the gym rat, man whoring, pompous ass I became in our time apart.

It's been a learning experience for sure. Fuck red pill bullshit.

That's all.

Edit: I agree with the RP ideas about knowing yourself, knowing your purpose, pursuing your goals and only compromising or changing them when you really want to.

This used to be the societal norm for men. It kept us happy and kept our natural aggression in check.

Now we have a bunch of sad guys with no goals, no purpose, and in America, open access to large amounts of firearms. Its a bad combination.

RP has a tendency to create insecure, overcompensating men. I went down this road for a little while and it poisoned my mind and my approach toward dating.

Plus side is I am jacked now. Time to dial the attitude back to something more reasonable.
