Second, has anyone here ever met a woman who enjoyed being socially isolated,

My wife is a bigger misanthrope than me.

She got so sick of her fake friends whining that she didn't "like" their Facebook updates often enough, that she deleted her Facebook account and stopped talking to any of them.

I encourage her to get out of the house and make friends, but so far, nope. She'd rather be a shut-in, minus grocery shopping.

@AFTSOV no.

One of the squad leaders on my second tour of Iraq tried that shit. He lifted as often as any of the rest of us (albeit with less than full range of motion), but he never ate food.

He'd constantly complain that he was losing muscle mass despite lifting so often.

We'd tell him "you need to EAT!" all the time, and he'd always reply "I drink protein shakes!". We'd tell him, "no, REAL FOOD. The shakes are a supplement. If you use them as a meal replacement, you'll lose fat and muscle both." He'd just complain "but I'm never hungry!"

You know, you kind of remind me of him, except he was a badass for a scrawny little dude who only did half chest presses.

College, wife, divorce in 10 years.

I've watched what divorce does to a lot of men, including my father and my stepbrother, and a bunch of Army buddies.

You are far better off not getting married in the first place.

Check out any MGTOW forum. Most of the newbies will be freshly divorced men wondering htf they'll be able to afford to eat after paying for a house they don't get to live in and child support for kids they barely (if ever) get to see and whom the ex-wives are turning against them.

Would have been better than being stuck half in the matrix, half out.

Then fucking unplug already. Grow the fuck up and cast away your childish dreams.

One of my baby mommas

Condoms. Wear them.

Or vasectomy. Get one.

I was the type that thought "why do I have to put on a fake mask just to make friends, or get laid, why can't I just express who I am," and just got depressed

You're doing it wrong. WAY wrong.

The point of this stuff is not to put on a mask or any crap like that.

You are supposed to internalize certain things so they become new habits. You are supposed to grow and develop into a better, stronger, far more savvy man.

The tip "fake it til you make it" implies that you're supposed to stop faking it at some point.

Thing is, you WANT a mask. You WANT a checklist or some magical fucking pill you can take to make everything easy.

there are NO FUCKING SHORTCUTS. life will always have struggles.

The key is to become stronger, smarter, more resilient, and more adaptable. It's ongoing growth.

Quit your goddamn whining and sack the fuck up.

@AFTSOV you have to stick around for the kids, having multiple women mother your children is tough, but it can help you grow.

@AFTSOV I know that not all your women send you mixed signals, but have you fallen for someone that sends mixed signals?
