The Evolution of the "Mature Man"

[romangod]

To me, the “Mature Man” discussion forum is evolving into a fantastic tool for personal growth, development and enlightenment. There are many great posts from many great guys and a sense of community that is lacking in other areas of many people’s lives. We should be grateful that it exists. Personally, it has been a great help in my personal struggles and is a big factor in my progress.

I’ve noticed that it has been evolving from the narrow parameters of male/female issues to the broader and more complex issues of life, the pursuit of happiness and peace of mind. In a sense it is a “Men’s Liberation” movement which is so badly needed. I think this is a good thing. As men, we are constantly under attack by outside forces of the Matrix and have had our defence mechanisms stripped away one by one to the point of being the weaker sex.


Would anyone like to comment on what the “Mature Man” means to them and where they feel it is going and should go?

Though I called out SoSuave as a whole, this is my ode to DJ-MEN and our pursuit of inner perfection and the attainment of our true masculinity:

My love for SoSuave.

Anytime a brother can bring praise to his fellow brother and thus bring other brothers here is a good; uh no, GREAT thing!

Yeah this is a great forum. I couldn't believe the outpouring of support I got in my 30 page thread. Just in case anybody is wondering; I have not heard from that woman again it's been about a month, and I've been ignoring her.

KarmaSutra............... That was a great discussion. And I agree, it is a Great thing! Cheers!

As men, we are constantly under attack by outside forces. By sticking together we can weather the storms and even prevent them by discussing and evaluating situations before they occur. We no longer have to enter everyday battles blind and unarmed. We can help each other.

Comradarie with our masculine development in it's purest form is very rare because we have no initiation ritual in order to transcend our current state of non-being.

Most of what we have are snake oil salesman rehashing the same old sh1t:

Use the 3-S model.
Don't call her for 3 days.
Don't feed her attention.
Don't fish in another man's pond (ok, this is good advice, but I digress)
Call her names in a funny way to get a reaction out of her.

We need brothers like Romangod who wants nothing more than to pay forward what he knows and understands.

What we need is a BROTHERHOOD. We need a Fraternal Organization of DJ's much like the Freemasons or Rosicrucians who indeed have an initiation ritual which kills off the boy-man and elevates him to his highest potential.

We should start chapters in cities locally. Fight Clubs without the busted eye sockets and compund fractures.

I'm already putting the word out here in my town.

Thanks, KarmaSutra. I love your idea of BROTHERHOOD. Count me in. I've got the time to do something locally since I'm retired. It's time for "Mature Men" to be more vocal and adamant about the struggles we face in today's tangled web where men are relegated to an after-thought.

A part of me thinks my future calling is as a "Men's advocate" for fairness and respect. In the long run it would benefit both men and women. Cheers!

This forum has completely transformed my life. One month after signing up, I began dating the hottest chick I've ever banged in my life. Former dance team member of a large uni. The best part though was having the self-confidence to let her go when her actions became detrimental to my personal growth. It's been a struggle not backsliding into AFC-dom with her, but the sage advice in these pages is what gave me the confidence to stick to my guns. Since the breakup a month ago, I have two plates spinning. I never could have done it without SoSuave and the Mature Man Forum.

Coincidentally, as others have alluded, I came here for advice on women and now I am really challenging every notion I've ever held about myself and my life. This is a revolution, Brethren. I stand ready for battle, armed to the teeth with the knowledge and self-awareness gleaned from these pages.

I am excited about the direction this forum is going and the momentum it is gaining. I am particularly excited about the mentor/protege concept and its application. Let us seize this opportunity to peel the scales from our brothers' eyes and let them see truth for the first time.

Much like this...

Respect.

I am not as interested in the technical details as I once was. However,I still have appreciation for some of the useful observations some of the seduction gurus have shared.
There is a wealth of knowledge out there that is helpful to men, whom have grown up without female companionship, and their timidity, shyness, and awkwardness NEEDS to be ADDRESSED.
These men are entitled to some help in the more technical details of a male/female interaction.

However, as a man will eventually encounter, the 'outer game' experience will be a superficial and limited one.

Without a deep sense of identity, values, preferences, ture opinions, observations, COURAGE, HONESTY, INTEGRITY, and true alignment and accpetance on one's desires, the road will take a sharp turn into darkness, and unfulfillment.

This is where much of the aim and wisdom being shared in the MM is more concerned with.

This eventual realziation of unhappiness and infulfillment. And why.
And how to adress it, as a mature masculine man.

Form whence do we gain this knowledge and power?

What TOOLS do we need?

These are very important areas where much of the seduction community has still yet to catch up.

There are products out there that are adressing some of these.
The Authentic Man Program is one of them.

And Dr. Paul Dobransky is another.

There are things that we as men, have grown up not wanting to FACE.
Because we realized that we have grown up and interactd for YEARS without the proper tools to deal with these issues.

But hopefully with the support of the mature men in this forum , we can help each other move along and get through these difficult emotional, mental, and sometimes spiritual challenges.

for me the mature man forum is about getting advice that is solid that you won't get from people in the 'real' world.

reality is that most people live dysfunctional, unhappy lives until the day they die. even if they are rich, have the trophy wife, sports car, etc.

my father was the most miserable sob you'll ever meet. probably still is to this day. he'll go to his grave being a miserable bastard that spent his life being angry at the world and everyone around him.

because of seeing how he lived his life i took a journey into exploring what other ways are there to live. and its taken years, but i've come out of it on a completely different track than he was. when my card gets punched i'll at least be able to say i tried to live a better life and become a better person.

the mature man forum is ALL about men sharing their insights with other men to help them find a better path in life. to not make the mistakes of that the men around them make, or to get past making those mistakes as opposed to getting stuck in a rut.

in a sense this is like a modern day tribe. human beings were meant to live in tribes - a child is meant to be raised with the insight of many men, not just one.

so to me this forum is kind of like a virtual tribe where guys do their best to share the wisdom they have absorbed over the years with others. it's a place of giving - basically a place of 'do unto others as you'd have them do unto you' - we are doing what we would have liked others to have done for us (ie. share their wisdom).

 

[romangod]

Great responses, guys. It is so much clearer to me that we are all in this together.

Yes, we are a tribe. A tribe that has found a common purpose and common goals. To help each other grow into the Mature Men we are suppose to be.

Kudos to everyone! You are rare treasures and I salute you.

You, Rollo, 'DISH and I are the Central Florida dream team.

I was referring to a local chapter here in my rinky dink podunk town.

Hell yes sushi!

 

[romangod]

Sushi anyone?

I laugh every time I hear the word "Sushi". A friend of mine who is an AFC used to get cooked up by women regularly and we'd advise him not to be a "minute steak" while he's being cooked up. It turns out that he was worse than we thought and we would bust his balls by calling him "Sushi" as in no cooking required.
