From what I understand, guys like pook and other "top of the top" pick up artists typically have a breakdown a some point because they come to find out the true nature of women through all the experience and knowledge they gain from doing what they do best. They reach the bottom of the rabbit hole and exit with great fear and disbelief, and from that point forward they typically do what u explained above, go all mgtow, and the want nothing to do with women from that point forward and just work on improving themselves and enjoying their own lives in their own unique way, no longer having to deal with the drama and craziness that are women.
I have recently somewhat discovered this for myself, but for some reason I like the companionship of women.i am no Don Juan by any means, I am learning so much on this form every week, but I have gone through some serious stuff with my ex that opened my eyes. However, I have taken the red pill and am very careful and pick and choose at my liking. You can't get perfect women all the time, but u can handle each one accordingly. If u get a crazy one, they are awesome in bed, but u know its only short term and they know too, u get in and out. Hell, I have even had some come over and rub my back while I go to sleep, lol, and they are fine with it. U just have to know how to handle each individual woman and know when to stop before the craziness comes out. U have to be a man and handle them like the women they are.
