		<description><![CDATA[I unplugged after a long relationship with a single mom. I saw the dark side of the male/female relationship.I saw that women are not special snowflakes who should be put on a pedestal and treated with the most respect. I saw that the more you depend on them, the more they screw you over, the more you give, the more they take. I would definitely say that I am on the depression stage. Knowing what I know now, there is no way I can see the world different. At 24, I have realized the only one you can really trust is yourself and that women need to be treated as play things.Nothing more. I guess you could say I am bitter, but then again who said taking the red pill was going to be a pleasant experience.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A girl showed me r/theredpill about a year ago. Being the beta I was I declared to her how stupid and mysognistic those lame virgins were. Then when my ex moved away and we started our invisible friendship. I looked into it more but it hurt to read, it was scary but I felt like I was too far in. I tried to ignore it for a while and focus on my LDR and told myself that everything would be OK and how I was different (lol) but eventually we broke up and it crushed me. She fucked another guy 4 days later and it was a world destroyer. That&#039;s when I unplugged. Right now I&#039;m between stages 4 and 5. It isn&#039;t so bad anymore, I just recognise that the sexes are different and that&#039;s what we deal with as men.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m 51 and am somewhere in the Post-Red-Pill and disinterested stage.  I started off reading NMMNG, then onto MMSL, and then WOTSM - that was last fall (so only about 6-8 months into the understanding the whole thing).  I am a child of late 70&#039;s and was hitting my stride in the 80&#039;s.  But what brought me to this point - of consider anything of this information - was my failed marriage, separation, and pending divorce.  

I still fight the mental fight about loving my STBXW and wanting to &quot;convince&quot; her that we need to get back together and being so pissed off at her, that I can barely think.  I still don&#039;t have my balls back when dealing with her - after 17 years of marriage, it&#039;s difficult to break those patterns of thoughts and behaviors (but not impossible).

So there is a very bitter taste with the red pill - and at my age there is always that voice in the back of your head saying &quot;why did you waste so much time?&quot; - but none of that really matters.  It&#039;s about me as a man, and being the best dad I can be to my kids.  Literally, women are way in the back of mind right now.]]></description>
