Fighting feelings

There was a stoic philosopher (can't be bothered to look up who just now) who suggested that for greater overall peace of mind, you should take sometime every day to imagine the horrific deaths of everyone you love as well as yourself. That way, when bad shit actually does happen, you're more emotionally prepared.

I suggest you do the same: when you begin to catch feelings, take some time to thoroughly imagine the relationship that might be, being careful to thoroughly imagine its almost inevitably painful and costly end.

Practice and training. While we may have been born with a desire to reproduce that is not the dating/courting/marriage scenario contemporary society has laid out.

I was married. Sexually active most of life. Never had a problem finding a woman.

Despite that it took me just two weeks of not looking at a woman, not thinking about them, and reminding myself daily why I'm MGTOW.

If you're studying medicine you understand the return on good habits: studying, refraining from instant gratifications that lead to obligations, and having goals.

It was easier than I thought. Much easier. YMMV.

I'm tempted. But understanding temptation is understanding resolve and personal growth. Every temptation I turn down (honestly - I tell them I'm MGTOW) is another step on my chosen path.

Don’t fight your feelings. That is like going against the tide. Instead, sit with those feelings when you have a moment of solitude and feel it with every fiber of your being. Allow it to hit you like a ton of bricks. Visualize the best that could happen in your situation. Visualize the worst that may arise. So this slowly, and really experience in your mind and heart these situations.

Take a deep breath, and let out all of that energy that was built up inside of you as you slowly exhale and release tension. Clear your mind. Look where you are right now in this exact moment, become centered, then go about your business.

Hey, once you become a doctor you can prescribe yourself some pills that can suppress your natural instincts for pu$$y.

The idea of a "normal" relationship today isn't a good one. Where a man just has to take crap from a woman, and it is always his fault. You need to learn to have a love for your fellow man. Not a sexual love, but a brotherly love. Especially if and when you find people who actually care about what happens to you. I don't know about anyone else here, but I am Christian. And I am worried for christianity. Because I see more Christ like qualities in some MGTOW, excluding people who are just hateful towards women. I am glad I found MGTOW, and have learned so many things here. However, I wish I could share what Christ has done for me, and would do for those who seek him, and do it justice. Peace, joy, the ability to have a pure love. I by no means am perfect, in fact I still have a long way to go. I just wish I had more to offer, much love hope this helped, somehow.
