But that got me thinking. Was i feeling good because i succeeded, or it was my brain rewarding me with a subtle dose of dopamine, because i was fulfilling my role as a man, and being “husband material”?

I see a lot of guys here saying they spend a lot of money in cars, motorcycles and stuff like that, and is seems to me that this is the kind of thing a man do to get a woman (at least here in my country): get a car, buy good clothes and hit the gim.

So when you buy yourself a car, good clothes and hit the gim, are you really going your own way?

The best thing is when you don’t need all the material stuff. You know deep inside what you really need, and when it starts to become luxury, the kind of luxury which is more a burden than a release.

Respect yourself, search your fullfilment in yourself, Coach yourself and do what have to be done.
CHERRS!!!

Whenever we men SOLVE something, we’re rewarded with the pleasure of INDEPENDENCE, women have nothing to do with that emotion, in fact there incessant meddling destroys a mans desire to fix anything; pussywhipped mangina.

You’re driven to explore ideas and thinking to understand the meanings of them. You’re imperative is not sexual, to reproduce and die, but to build civilization and beyond. This is why you’re drawn to the stars and explore the tiniest of objects. You will draw conclusions from them, some inaccurate. The endeavor is necessary and as natural as eating. You need this. Should you not, boredom results and you will long.

All these things are driving you for a reason. You’re driven beyond your natural instincts, and even to ponder them, their meanings. You want to discover the ultimate meanings of them all.

Perhaps it’s no your brain that awarded you dopamine, but you telling your brain to give you some dopamine.

You took something practical and examined it for meaning. In it you explored existentialism, which concerns with lived experiences and the meanings of them. As the ancient sage said, “A life unexamined is not worth living.” Perhaps you mere act of thinking about your experience is your real objective. Give yourself a cookie.

Philosophy is structured in three aspects: The Logic; The Arts; And The Life.

In the Logic, this is where we argue.

In the Arts, this is where we make artwork to illustrate our beliefs. This includes literature. Your discussion is a little bit of an artwork.

In Life is where we live out our philosophy. Your experience fits here and you’re looking to live out the MGTOW philosophy.

When you fixed the door knob, would it have been right if you felt nothing?

People feel no matter what they do.  One cannot go through this life feeling nothing.  One cannot go through this life feeling bad all the time either.  Neither of those things are possible.   “Pleasure” has its place.   It is not something, I believe, that should be sought.   It is nothing that we should submit to either.  However, when working their is no point in avoiding enjoyment.   If one is happy, or enjoys what they are doing, no harm done.  Being “miserable” is pointless too, because all it means is that you desire a pleasure you cannot obtain.  You are under the control of pleasure, that is what misery is.

While one should not avoid pleasure, one should not indulge in it either.  To indulge means to submit to it.   At the end of the day it is about power.  Not over the outside world, but over yourself.  Hedonism does not permit this, being a prude does not permit this.   Men are destroyed from either avoiding pleasure (which is rare but does happen) or from indulging in it (which is the most common).

We are physical and spiritual beings.  It is not an either or.  If dopamine helps us achieve “pleasure”, why fight nature?

In regards to everyone else’s advice, including my own, I would not rush to accept it without first putting it to the test.  Pleasure can be deceiving too.

So when you buy yourself a car, good clothes and hit the gim, are you really going your own way?

I need a car to get to work.  I need clothes for warmth and protection.  I need physical fitness so I can work to survive.

I do not need a Mercedes.  I do not need (insert whatever clothes are fashionable).  I don’t need a six pack or twenty inch arms.  These are pleasures I do not need, and require me to submit to a certain unnatural lifestyle in order to obtain them.

I need a car that will get me from point a to point b and will last.  I need sturdy and durable, yet clean clothes.  I need a strong heart and a strong back.  No need to deny myself pleasure from acquiring basic needs.  Work is natural.  Certain types of work are not.

For example, I purchased two vehicles about two years ago. The first was a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and the second was a Mercedes-Benz roadster. At the time I wanted the jeep to pursue my hobbies (camping, kayaking, off-roading, etc) and the Roadster because it’s a sexy machine that’s purely fun to drive. So I feel pretty good that I did both of these things for myself, not to try to display status or get laid.

These days, however, I spend a lot more time in the Jeep and a lot less time in the Benz… to the point where I’m thinking to sell the roadster, if for no other reason than the opportunity costs it represents. If I wanted to get laid I might buy a classic car or a Harley (both of which are popular with the females of Las Vegas) but really I’d rather have the jeep and my teardrop trailer and the extra cash in my pocket from not making a second car payment.

If I were to keep the Benz at this point, it would only be because it looks good to other people… my own sense of enjoyment in it has waned as my values have shifted over the last two years, so it mostly sits in the garage and waits for the time to come when I make the move to sell it.

The bottom line here is that you know when you’re doing something you want and when you’re doing something because other people are impressed by it… and only you can judge yourself in this context. If you’re trying to tell someone else what their motivations are or you honestly can’t tell what your own are, then you need to go back to the drawing board and figure some things out for yourself.

Spot on.

In a society where we are bombarded by advertising and suggestiveness it’s hard to know how genuine our desires are, but as you learn more about yourself you get a much better feel for things that are right for you.

I think when you are brutally honest with yourself you’ll understand where your desires originate from.

America has the highest per capita college educated population in the world.

America has the greatest wealth in the world.

Why has our quality of life continued to go down the crapper? This could only be attributed to design. As the illuminati formulated in its early stages, women should be targeted with false propaganda first because they’re prone to believing gossip and rumors. Once they’re indoctrinated with lies, the family unit will crumble and the society will fail.

Welcome to the end times.
