Hi there, long-time lurker on this sub and reddit in general, and just wanted to come out of the woodwork and say...thanks.

I always knew something was off about how the world worked, how everything seemed to revolve around women and men were treated as disposable garbage. I thought something was wrong with me. I've never been able to get a women to look twice at me, I've tried so hard to be nice and courteous, but I'm average looking, so it's like I don't exist. Any women I did get the attention of just treated me like a friend (aka a walking, talking wallet). I felt so inadequate, like I wasn't a real man because I didn't have a girlfriend.

Then I found this sub and realized I didn't need a women on my arm to be a real man. I realized I'm actually one of the lucky ones that never had to deal with their bullshit or divorce-rape. I admit I was a bit of a simp, but believe you me I stopped that shit immediately after I found this sub. My money is mine, my resources are MINE and I'm never letting a women trick me into being her beta orbiter.

I realized I don't need a women to be happy and honestly, much happier now that I'm not bending over backwards for any chad-fucking whores. I'll leave them be and (hopefully as the years go on) they'll leave me be. Thanks to all of you for showing me to go my own way.

TLDR: Thanks for saving me before it was too late. I'm going my own way!
