		<description><![CDATA[Good post Rollo, I linked from elsewhere today. Haven&#039;t been at sosuave in quite a long time.  Whatever happened to PuertoRican_Lover over there?  He was a fantastic dispenser of red pills, way before his time, but I recall they couldn&#039;t handle his forthrightness.  Know where he went, because he was invaluable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rollo:

Great post, and I&#039;ve thought exactly the same thing.

Guys in high school have access to this.  I&#039;m in my late thirties now, and I didn&#039;t find the so-called &quot;manosphere&quot; until I was about thirty.  Guys can start reading this stuff as soon as they hit puberty now and unplug early.

A guy named Ross Jeffries started writing PUA stuff early.  (This was years before &#039;The Game&#039; was published.)  His stuff was crap.  It&#039;s clear that he really got game, but he was a lousy writer.  The stuff available now for free (e.g., Roissy, Roosh) is far better and digestable by normal guys.  Young guys don&#039;t know how good they have it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hugely insightful! I&#039;m a new reader and unpluggie, and this information has helped me to see the exact conditions and path my marriage took to its demise. And how my misguided efforts to be a conscious and supportive partner (driven by the hogwash we&#039;ve been fed our whole lives) undermined my position and power in the relationship, and the rest of my life. These posts (&amp; comments) have reinforced the realizations I was having as a result of my new found mental (and emotional) freedom post-marriage. Thanks to Hero for turning me on to to this invaluable resource, and for your continued support buddy! Also, to all the contributors on these various forums and blogs for your outstanding efforts, thank you so very much!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;We are the collective fathers these sons never had.&quot;

I applaud and thank you for your effort. 

I never thought of myself as any less of a man but a recent &quot;extremely traumatic&quot; experience in my relationship with my wife helped open my eyes and caused me to evaluate the feminized social conventions that I had bought into. I started carefully examining my relationship and my wife&#039;s behavior. At the same time I started reading Game theory and evolutionary psychology. I&#039;ve been working diligently on improving myself and unraveling my participation in the Matrix. 

This has been a major life shift for me. While I still feel some anger for having bought into the Matrix, my life has improved dramatically and my relationship with my wife is much more comfortable and she is visibly happier. 

That&#039;s the interesting thing... women don&#039;t really seem to want this world that they&#039;ve created. Once I &quot;unplugged&quot; I started to see the women around me being more comfortable, more positive and more responsive to me. 

For me this becomes an extremely important lesson to teach my two sons. I was brought up with most of my socializing coming from my mother. I realize that my mother&#039;s teachings represent a continued challenge for me to overcome. I know now that my sons need my help and guidance in navigating the current social landscape. My sons need to understand the power, dynamism and creativity that comes from masculine energy. Men are not just &quot;the starters of wars&quot; and &quot;potential rapists&quot; like has been said so many times. 

Men are creators and protectors. Masculine energy is absolutely necessary for our species to survive.]]></description>
