The Masculine Man Walks His Path Alone

If tomorrow you went broke and were ruined as a man, who would still be walking beside you? Your wife/LTR and blue pill friends are only in your life conditionally, proving that you as a man are truly alone in your journey.

To be a masculine man is to be a leader of your own life, your family, and sometimes of other groups.

And leadership is a lonely place to be.

Everyone expects the leader to deliver, but hardly does anyone give a fuck how he manages to do that.

Everyone expects the leader to take care of their needs, but nobody cares how his own needs are met.

Everyone expects the leader to praise them for every little work they do, but hardly will someone take 5 seconds of their time to say ''thank you'' or show gratitude.

Everyone thinks the leader is enjoying a lot of money and comfort, but they have absolutely no idea the amount of stress he goes through daily.

Everyone expects the mods of this sub to ensure that the sub is running perfectly, but very few people actually consider how many hours of sleep they forego to keep this place sane.

That is the nature of leadership, and masculinity for that matter.

This is why presidents mostly have only presidents as friends, why billionaires only have billionaire friends, why CEOs have CEO friends and why top leaders only associate with other top leaders.

Because they are in the same boat, and understand each other better than anyone else could.

This is why men need male spaces to compare notes and encourage themselves.

This is why the redpill is good for men.

What you want out of life is the most solitary pursuit there is.

"The ability to be alone, to have isolation as your primary state of existence, will serve you in good stead in any situation in which you find yourself. The ability to live in Merged Permanence [a relationship] teaches you only how to function within the context of Another's neuroses, inadequacies and failings. It teaches you how to use your own neuroses, inadequacies and failings as both cudgel and petition. When the Merged Permanence ends, whether next week, next year, five years from now, ten years from now, you are left with completely useless life skills, emptiness, fear and emotional hunger."

Last night I had a chick tell me that I am gonna die sad and alone because my friend told her that I am the type of guy that will never get married or live with a chick.

I just smiled at her and said: If only I am so lucky.

The headings of some of these posts are sometines enough for inspiration. Love it.

A significant portion of the male population in the western world kill themselves after festering in solitude for a long time. No friends or support to give them a reason to live. It's one thing to be responsible for your own success and effectiveness to a team but it's another to glamorize a life of a loneliness thinking you "get points" for suffering and doing things the hard way. People LITERALLY go feral being alone, and it comes with a host of other health problems that are just as bad as smoking. There is no shame in asking for help while you are down and the burdens of life have become to heavy to bear. Forgive me if I misinterpreted your article but I can see many readers seeing this as a reason to shut off from the world.

There couldn't have been a better time for you to put this article out there for us. Thank you.

Recently I've been dating a chick that is a near-unicorn, but some red flags are still there that kept me at bay. A little bit too much drinking on her end, friends who like their liquor way too much, stuff like that. My instinct kept telling me to drop her, despite her crying saying I'm making a mistake and will never find someone like her and all that. But I listened to my instinct, and this article only reinforces that I made the right choice, which is listening to ME and not compromising my values. I might make a post about this soon, as I feel there's a lot to learn from my struggle with the dreaded oneitis that hit me hard as a train and put a veil over my eyes.

Funny aside, when I talked to my mom about my decision to dump this chick, she laughs and says that's how women play men, they say things to instill doubt in your minds. She has her blue moments, but usually she's redpill as fuck (Eastern European) and even admitted to me how she even does that sometimes to my dad. We laughed about it.

I'm forever alone, and sudden everyone wants to kidnap my time. Fuck.

I took a girl to a bar/restaurant Friday night to grab a quick bite to eat before back to her place. Christ, places change at night. I'm a relatively small dude, but somehow a hundred manlets came out of the woodwork to play the night game. The horde of social butterfly manlets outnumbered any girls under 30 there 20 to 1. What the fuck is the point of living like that? What are they all doing? Do they go home and suck each other's dicks? Its a strange world when staying home and watching porn is the correct decision most of the time.

Anyone who uses the phrase, "a pack of alpha males" thinks there can be more than one alpha male, and still can't be one.

The comfort in exiting the comfort zone is key. As an analogy if you play video games, you know you are doing the right thing when you face stronger and stronger enemies. In mario, you don't go left to where you already killed everything, you go right so that you can get more points.

it used to be that masculine men could walk with side by side with their brothers in arms. I'd prefer to live that way

Be on the herd and eat scraps.

Hunt on your own and even if you only catch a scrawny meal, is yours and yours alone. Product of your work.

You're born alone and you die alone. A masculine man never forgets this.

We just live in a feminized culture where people think it's okay to ''hide in the herd'', like we always need another person in able to achieve things (dare I say this is the feminine way of going through reality). Of course we need each other for many reasons, we're social animals, but the nuanced point here (I believe) is that a man doesn't need nor shouldn't want to reduce the responsibility in order to get shit done.

Funnily enough this is actually something that's expected of us, men and women look down upon you if you can't do something yourself. As if Mother Nature has programmed people to push men towards this point of view.....
