And here I sit. Alone - no women. There are plenty I know that I'd bang - and many of them are within my grasp. And yet I'm alone, and the only person I should be angry at is myself.
If there is one vital tidbit of knowledge that this website has either taught me or reinforced, it is that you are fully in control of your own life:
You are behind the wheel at all times. You can accept this, for better or worse, or you can attribute your circumstances to fate, God, or whatever else you wish to believe in. Regardless, your life is in your hands.
Most of us here come seeking a change. We are sick of being AFC, and we're ready to be something more - to be what we are meant to be. The change has to start within, but you must act it out in the external world. This lesson has been the hardest to me. You can think you're a DJ all you want, but until you back up those thoughts with real, physical action, it means nothing.
My level of "action" lately has been just about zero. I've shirked responsibilities, missed golden opportunities, and generally just have been lazy because "it's my summer" and I have only one year of college left. And you know what? I am tired of it.
More than anything, though, I am tired of feeling powerless. I've finally come to fully understand what AFC is - it is powerlessness. We commonly describe it as a series of behavioral schemas, but powerlessness is at the core.
I am sick of being treated like I am sexually harmless. For most women, as far as sex goes, I am a non-entity. Something to not worry about at all. Make no mistake - most women are sure that I have sex or will have sex, but not with them. It is insanely frustrating, and the most frustrating part of all of it is feeling like I have no control over it.
I understand now that I do have control over it. In fact, I have total control over it. The only question that remains is whether or not I will live up to my own promise.
This promise, this potential is something we all share. This potential that we share is not just the potential of being a Man instead of an AFC - and I mean that in the capital "M," old-fashioned sense. The potential that we all share is the potential of being the ultimate, be-all, end-all male archetype:
The Hero.
George Washington. Teddy Roosevelt. Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Howard Roark. James Bond. Indiana ****ing Jones. All of them: Heroes.
Some of these characters may be fictional, but we can all live up to these standard-bearers. The Hero is what we should all strive to be.
The Hero is not perfect - he is human. He has faults. But his virtues far outweigh them - he is courageous, he is loyal, and he does not give up. He loves women - sexually and otherwise - and is unapologetic about it.
The Hero mixes the "manly" compass - the sort of instincts that this website seeks to teach - with a "moral" compass. It doesn't really matter what religious or ethical system you follow, as long as there is some moral component present.
I can't guarantee that I'll live up to the standard of the Hero. Tomorrow and the next day may pass, and I may be stuck in the same old routine. But I'll be damned if I don't at least try. And that's what I am here to invite you all to do.
Give it a shot.
We're all here because we've experienced powerlessness. The feeling that your own life is not in your hands. Women that you'd love to bang - permanently out of your reach. That job you want - a pipe dream. Throw all of this thinking away. Just give it up, it means nothing anymore. Try to change.
Don't just try to be a "Man," a "Don Juan." Go full speed ahead, and try to be a Hero. You don't have to go on exotic adventures to be larger than life. Take the "lessons of Manhood" that you learn on this website and unite them with your own system of right and wrong. Do this, and you will be unstoppable.
