A Firsthand Experience Section

[Anonymous 18]

Firstly, I would like to state that I have no intentions of being an ungrateful c~~~ if what I am about to write comes across as demanding or unreasonable. If I do sound like a whiny bitch please forgive me in advance.

I had been thinking something to the effect of having a section much like Introduction but a section for the continuing discussion with respect to men and their first hand experiences with women/gfs/co-workers/divorce courts/manginas/etc. Experiences that highlight the state of our surroundings. But from a more intimate and personal perspective.

As much as I appreciate reading news articles, youtube videos picking feminist logical fallacies and entitlement of cupcakes around the globe, it doesn’t have the same learning aspect to it as a man describing his experience first hand. More importantly the opportunity to interact with that person on individual level and ask questions/discuss the topic seems plausible only for a short window (say a day or two at most) before its lost in the pile of many other threads. Especially on days when a particular emotionally charged thread is getting a lot of attention.

At times in all the noise I find its easy to miss what a man has experienced and shared here among the rest of the posts that although helpful don’t carry the same weight towards mgtow resolve as a man who has experienced a personal event and cared to share with us.

I guess what I am trying to say is something like an Introduction section but for men who are now on the red pill path and have observed/experienced things in their personal lives first hand that would otherwise seem like a normal behavior prior to the RP mindset.

Something like ‘Red Pill Journey’ or ‘Experiences in Wild’ – to highlight content that strictly relates to men dealing directly with the beast. May be I am being over analytical here but I’d love to go through the entire forum section months and months back and read stuff that pertains to our members direct personal experiences in one corner of the website.

I’d like to know what are thoughts of others on this. And please feel free to create me a new one if I am being too picky.

It goes without saying how resourceful, helpful, and warm this community has been to me and thousands others. I appreciate everything that goes up and down here on a daily basis. Thank you to KM and the members that take time to contribute here.

Kind regards

Not to criticize, but that would seem redundant as first hand experiences are injected all over the place in just about every thread, I think Blue Pill Hell has that kinda covered. I get what you’re saying, filter to the first hand blood and gore in modern relations~~~s.

[Mr. ManParticipant 2916]

I think it’s an excellent idea, and one that I’ve considered quite a bit. I’m like you, iLearn, I skip the videos and news articles and go straight to the first-hand experience posts. To me, that’s the meat and potatoes of this site.

So yes, it would be nice to have a category just for that. It could be called something like “Field Reports”. On the other hand, it’s not that hard to surf through the other stuff that I’m not interested in.

Not to sound like a fanboy or to be insincere, but I am astounded at how gents who have been through the ringer (false accusations, rendered destitute, children taken away), some multiple times, have persevered so well. In all sincerity I am humbled.

I simply was cheated on and got divorced without any additional complications. I found and am still finding it hard on the odd day.

I honestly don’t know if I would have faired so well as you and others given the same circumstances.

But, I have learned a lot from everyone’s stories.

I like the idea.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

If that were introduced there would be some confusion on whether a first hand experience should be posted in the ‘first hand experience’ forum or the relevant subject forum.

Would a first hand experience about dating go in the ‘dating’ forum or the ‘first hand experience’ forum?

Also worth noting that most will post in the ‘central’ forum even when there’s one more relevant – I remember one fella that took serious issue with that ha.

I do like the idea, I just don’t think it would be utilised.

[Tiga KParticipant 1693]

I thought that is what “blue pill hell” was for. Either way, keeping the personal separate from the other stuff isn’t a bad idea. Some of the members have a tendency to start threads in “mgtow central” that belong in other categories.

Upon reading alot of threads, I find myself relating and actually explaining a past experience– similar to theirs.

I would imagine the introduction is more or less your experience that led you eventually here.

I’m here, I am glad you all are here too. We are not alone brothers…….

Your sentiment resonates w/me.

I don’t come here for a headline OR a list of facts, I come here to read individual’s first hand experiences, and exchange/interact w/them.

You made another thread about MGTOW Finding Men vs Men Finding MTOW.

That concept comes into play here.

I suspect the vast majority of men who find this website, aren’t blue pilled and suddenly become red pilled, after being here.

It’s quite the opposite.

They find this site as a result of having so many adverse/unilateral relationships w/women, that they end up here.

They were red pilled by their own first hand experiences in the real world PRIOR to coming here.

That distinction is significant.

One doesn’t come to the Manosphere, read an ideology, then go out into the real world and experience confirmation bias.

It’s the opposite. Men come here AFTER having experienced the truths of the red pill; they then realize that they are not alone, can relate to so many other men’s experiences, and it becomes the obvious truth.

Resident cynic.

I’d say making. Section called ‘Personal experieneces’ might satisfy the need. It allows it to include stories of divorces, dating, custody, workplace interaction, etc. However, it focuses on each person’s personal experience regarding that event.

A co-worker recently told me, "If you want to see who someone really is, divorce them." I have found out how true this is. When your wife drops the façade of being the caring partner, you will witness all of the greed, hate, and spite that she has masked. It is truly breathtaking!

I’m not against it, but I have a few reservations. First, I can see it turn it to a sort of competition. We are men, and there is nothing wrong with that in general, but I’d hate to see it turn it into something where everyone is trying to do every else with their misery.

Second, as already pointed out, it would be a broad topic with overlap in other areas.

Third, what qualifies as first hand experience? If someone’s best friend is going through a divorce, does that qualify? Even if you make the ‘rules’ clear, it’s going to get messy.

Lastly, although I get how personal experiences are important, I don’t think they should hold more weight that broad statistics. At the risk of sounding like I’m claiming NAWALT, I think we should be careful about taking these one off scenarios and applying it to women as a whole when the data don’t support that claim. You can’t claim that all MGTOW live in their mom’s basement just because you found one that does, nor can you claim that all women are going to physically stab you for refusing to have sex with you just because you found one that does.

Again, not trying to diminish the value of personal experiences, just saying let’s not forget about logic.

Ok. Then do it.

[NoMoreParticipant 1233]

Perhaps give the OP the option of posting tags for their thread. You want to start a thread about what lead to your divorce, you tag it as ‘personal experience’, ‘marriage and divorce’, and possibly ‘introductions’.

You could filter what you see by the tags. If you want to read personal experiences, it filters out the news, humor, creative writing, etc.

A co-worker recently told me, "If you want to see who someone really is, divorce them." I have found out how true this is. When your wife drops the façade of being the caring partner, you will witness all of the greed, hate, and spite that she has masked. It is truly breathtaking!
