I found MGTOW back in 2014 after GamerGate and Anti-feminism exploded on YouTube, and enjoyed some of its content creators, such as Thinking Ape and Raging Golden Eagle, but cringed at the likes of Sandman; I still watch him, mostly for comedic purposes, but also to hear a view I disagree with - it builds one's capacity to debate and argue. Besides that, he does occassionally say something I can really get behind. I disagreed with some of the ideas they all presented, but agreed on others - overall, I thought that the philosophy was good for one's body and health, being based around self-improvement for men, and was quite valid in its perceptions of human nature. I never took the Red Pill, though, not for another two years, not until 2016. In 2016, seeing the hysteria about "muh female president," and having experience dealing with degenerate millennial women who were the physical embodiment of everything Sandman had talked about, being self-centered, fucking crazy, fat, and "princesses," I began to question myself even more.

What sealed the deal for me was learning about the effects of circumcision - loss of sensitivity, loss of lube, and erectile dysfunction; all this, and it is only done to men, despite the same "benefits" for women. This pushed me into "red pill rage" for about a month, as all I enjoy in life are porn and video games, and having my dick cut up "for the ladies," who I had already stopped caring about beyond porn and a couple friends, caused me to feel a strong hate towards women and blue-pilled men in our society. I still do feel a strong hatred towards women and men who cut their kids. Whenever I have money and privacy, I am going to work on "regeneration;" it'll be a year or so, though.

After a month, however, I calmed down, and accepted my situation, and accepted that I am more into MGTOW than I thought. I became calm, happy, and even naturally euphoric, feeling freed from hormonal stress and the desire for women. I could think more clearly, and became optimistic, and began working out again. I still don't agree with everything about MGTOW, as I believe women can become red-pilled - just that the chances are so infinitesimally small that it doesn't matter; it was a woman I know and am close friends with who tried and failed in leading me into MGTOW many years ago, afterall. The problem was that I was too young and too stupid, and too into "The Matrix" of human nature to take her advice. Through our conversations, years later, I have come to realize that she is red-pilled herself, and actively avoids falling into "female nature;" she even looks at things through the scope of a cost-benefit-analysis.

All in all, the Red Pill has brought-me into a state of Euphoria, or Zen, or Nirvana, and I can think so much more clearly, and have a plan for life, and feel freed from my biology. Taking it, my body felt as though I flushed all my hormones out of my system.
