Why did you join sosuave?
I lack a lot of masculine role models in my life, but I've been able to piece some thing of my own thanks to some of the older guys on here. I've been browsing the net now for almost half of my life now. This forum is one of the better sites out there for young men like me, not just to hook up with chicks but also for those who simply want to build a better life.
Masculinity is literally stamped out in school, public or private. You're told to sit down, and shut up. Every thing you do is seen as inferior to our female classmates. Even if you're born with masculine traits you're typically punished for expressing them. At one point, I caved to the blue pill, and lost a lot of my friends that way. Social media sites like reddit and youtube skewed my vision of reality, this combined with a toxic friend group literally made me into a bug man.
I literally no longer felt like a human being, I don't know how to express it other than that I felt like I lost a part of my soul. I'm not kidding. It was like I was mentally castrated. Right now, I'm just trying reclaim that part of me that I've lost, to feel human again. I've made some strides, but I know it's a long road ahead of me. I'm thankful for users like
@zekko and many of the older posters here, if it weren't for some of their advice I wouldn't really know where to build off of or use as a foundation for some of my own ideas on becoming an exceptional man.
Almost all of the sites on the web have been diluted by leftist propaganda. 4chan, as toxic as it was, introduced me to some interesting connections and perspectives that I would have never made on my own. Sadly now it's mostly astroturfed by bots, but while reading Rollos books I came across this site. So far, I'm glad I've taken the steps that brought me here. I can have a real intellectual conversations without the problems that come with communities like reddit, which lean towards a more collectivist mindset.
