I can never get other people to understand me. I think this is something I will have to accept by going MGTOW.

There is always someone reminding me why I will never be normal

You're missing out on the practice of learning social cues and comfort around (and in) women, which accounts for maybe 80% of my dating success

You'll also have missed out on the feeling of being in a relationship and what it's like to share aspects of your life in such an intimate manner. It's the kind of thing you can't learn all of by reading articles and reddit.

Intimacy provokes a lot of emotions and new perspectives that can lead to a lot of personal growth and happiness

One of the biggest reasons is that I did not date or have a lot of sex in high school and college. I tried everything but it did not work for me. I tried to be aloof, high value, attractive etc.

I found peace in MGTOW but I realize it is a lonely path. Even on MGTOW I find that I still have a hard time relating to a lot of men here. There aren't a lot of men who have spent their entire life in monk mode. A lot of men think monk mode is too hard but for me it seems monk mode is the only way I can find peace.

Sometimes I regret not doing stuff differently, but looking back at my life, at my temperament, at my ideas, what more could I have done?

Whenever I met a girl I truly liked, I went for it. I saw it through to the bitter end, trying to win their affection, and it ended in failure.

If anything upsets me about dating and relationships, it's that I never really had a chance with those who I actually did want to be with. And I'm upset about never meeting someone who I both liked and who I actually had a chance with.

And even if you are successful, those chemical feelings supposedly wear off and I start to realize I have nothing in common with her. It's easy to get wrapped up in the so called kodak moments. It's easy to talk about the ego boosts and being on cloud nine and all.
