Partying, drinking, pure debauchery, and escaping FOMO. Why I believe it benefits most men in today's world to go through a stage like this in life at some point BEFORE moving on.

Intro: While the red pill looks down on this sort of thing (except for the sleeping around part), I do think that it benefits men to have this experience at some point in their lives. Most men get this out of the way in college but for those that don't, it can become somewhat tricky but I do believe that it is something most men in today's world can benefit from if they don't overdo it or make it a backbone of their lives.

Why I think most men can benefit from this sort of stuff in the short term:

I am not saying that you should throw away your life, quit your job, and try to be Dan Bilzerian. Now that being, it benefits most men to go through this stage in life before moving on. Most guys used to get it out of the way in college, pushed their bodies and morals to the limit, and then moved on from it.

For the guys who weren't able to do it in college, largely due to having a competitive major which ate up time or commuting, they missed out. The one thing that made it special in college is that you were doing all of this with others your age who were also going through those same things in life of wanting to party, get wasted, and sleep around. I know, it takes it psychological toll on a lot of young men in today's world who are being raised by helicopter parents and in a bad economy.

The thing is, men have to balance between being an Eliot Rodger or a Dan Bilzerian. You don't want to become the lonely sociopath who lacks a social life and looks down on things like drinking and partying yet at the very same time, you want to avoid being the person whose entire life revolves around this sort of thing.

So what is OP saying?

I am saying that I don't think guys should revolve their entire lives around drinking, partying, and pure debauchery. On the other hand, every single guy should have a period of his life where he is experiencing this lifestyle before finally moving on. For most men, this period came during college but all know that it was not exactly that easy to do so unless you were well connected to the social scene.

What I am saying is that for the men who missed out on this sort of thing, they need to experience this kind of life at some point. At some point, a guy has to go through a stage in his life where he is partying, making new friends, drinking/testing his alcohol tolerance, and living in pure debauchery. Get it out of your system at some point and dedicate a period of your life to where you are doing this, whether it be just a year or maybe a few months.

After doing that for a certain amount of time, move on. Move on after you have had a ton of lays, lots of wild parties at nights, and done everything on the checklist that would make your preacher faint. Only then can you move on to greater things and here is why.

The issue is, you are going to be distracted if you do pursue a higher purpose.

You may want to be the next Elon Musk (who lived this sort of lifestyle btw) but you will find that something isn't right. You can't focus as much, you can't be on your best, and you can't really give yourself to all of this. You're constantly thinking about girls, sex, and living like Dan Bilzerian. In today's culture, it is normal to feel that way with social media, media in general, Hollywood, and even the red pill itself somewhat glorifying that kind of a life.

Now you are in a situation where you need to work your higher SMV job but at the same time, you are miserable because you have FOMO. FOMO will eat you alive inside as you think about all the spring breaks, wild nights, exciting events, and other things you missed out in life. You will become the angry bitter old man who hates all that he ended up missing out on.

You are supposed to move on, eventually, but it is a crucial stage that can't be missed.

Eventually, you're supposed to move on to greater things but it is a crucial stage of life that cannot be missed. Even if you are in your 30s and never experienced it, you have to experience it. Go get a job in the service industry in a big city and just get creative with it, find a way to get that sort of experience before you go nuts. Then after having that experience for a couple of years, move on, don't let it be your entire life. After having that experience, move on to the higher purpose in life but don't do it immediately.

Soon I might do a guide on how to get this experience if you missed out on it in college, hope that others can contribute to that guide.
