		<description><![CDATA[[&#8230;] With the notable exceptions of natural born Alphas, I believe most men would overwhelmingly default to being compassionate, empathic souls, steeped in romantic notions of chivalry, dedication and honor. Whether this sentiment is the result of a genuine dedication to principle or inspired by a hope that women will appreciate his sacrifices to principle and reciprocate with her intimacy is really a Crisis of Motive.

		<description><![CDATA[Here is my story:  

I broke up for good with the girl my former beta self thought was the ONE in fall 2010 (she kept dumping me and then crawling back and even though I was heartbroken about it I finally found the balls to put an end to the cycle) … sometime in spring 2011 I stumbled upon Roosh&#039;s blog and some other PUA type websites and became fascinated with pickup with the unspoken intention of finding another ONE … flash forward to summer 2012 and I think I finally found another ONE who I am head over heels for … she promptly dumps me a few weeks later after piercing my alpha exterior and becoming repulsed by my beta true self … that is the point I hit rock bottom and experienced total ego death … after a few weeks in an alcoholic haze, I finally went searching for answers and found your best of year one post and the rest is history … Thanks for everything, Rollo …]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The reason why men should work out is simple. 

It builds testosterone. More testosterone means more dominance. More dominance means more success with women and social settings. 

The actual muscles build certainly look good. But that is secondary compared to the heightened testosterone levels.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marriage fell apart (not in one cataclysmic moment, but slowly over several years).  She moved out, took the kids, left me to deal with the mortgage company and the house, I supported (and still do) her and the kids.

One day I decided to quit being a lazy fat guy, so started working out.  I also tried to get her back (in all the wrong ways) - when that backfired, I found No More Mr. Nice Guy and the forum over there.  From there, I found Way of the Superior Man and Married Man&#039;s Sex Life Primer.  All those pointed to more and more references.

Now, I read a few blogs and have become more attuned / aware.  I can see things a bit clearer - and have changed some things in and around my life - but have not been able to apply it to my STBXW - she still has my number.  I have identified my &quot;mental illness&quot;, but have yet to decide to fix it.]]></description>
