^^Replying to GreyMan.
I've been wanting to tell my story for a while bc I think older assholes like me have some things that may well be beneficial to some younger men here...and/or I just want to be relevant in a narcissistic way; who knows. ALittle historical perspective about me as well as shit I just feel like talking about.
My original goal on Roosh V was exactly like most here....pick up, become a better man,
get over a girl, etcetc. I'm not a repped member nor have particularly insightful written advice on here as I hate typing and suck at it. I've been a lurker mostly.
How old are you my friend? Please, I don't want to come off as condescending. I agree with the innate points you've made. I thank you for the time you took to write. Here goes.

'...What's cool is that everything here job wise is at your fingertips. Do you want to go to war? You probably can because there is always some war going on.'
You ever been to war? I have. ALot. I was a part of a highly specialized career field in the US military. Now, I'm no NasaTestPilot....

BUT... was running operations into Afghanistan via Pakistan starting ohh around Oct/Nov of 2001. That's relevant only in that it gives some perspective concerning what I did both in my youth and the adherence to the mantra around here of 'get in shape, make your paper, get good at approaching...'.
Ok by the numbers. I'm ex-special operations Vet. I am(was) 6.0 tall and considered good looking in my prime (and now, if the 80/20 rule still applies on fuxkn Tinder/dating apps are any indication of looks...), and built if not by most standards in very good shape.
I trained in BJJ at what was the start of the MMA craze early 90's with names most here would recognize as some of the principal players that brought the UFC into existence due to living in northern California at the time. I further have lived in the obscenely obvious party capital of the US(world??) for close to a decade. Was a bartender at one point in my life at a porno bar. Strippers on the counter ass cheek to head doing shots off of. Stupid shit like that. Sex in the office from a girl you just gave a shot to, then on a whim pull upstairs JUST to see if you could. Once had every seat at my barcounter damn near filled up with a woman I had sex with at one time or the other. Talk about juggling lol. (not that big a bar but still..)
At the risk of doxing myself I have to be alittle vague, forgive me. Just honestly due to my own abhorrent decision making, ease of prior career to identify.....shrug, maybe not that it really matters, but who knows what is taken here and collected.
Don't do what I did. I hope at some point to be able to expound further.
I broke myself both in service to my country physically, and in my mindset by being a utter 'blue' pilled bitch even while having what most would consider an "alpha" job. I feel like a tool just typing that, but whatever. I've been both material well off once, now a pauper by most accounts. My uneducated actions regarding women, our legal system, and some other poor choices regarding mind set rendered me here.
Now all I want is peace and quiet. I have a dog. I garden. I limitedly teach select people both in my tribe and others both combat tactics and TCCC. I try to be a good member in my community. But I'm alone.

This.
We as men can't stay isolated much longer. I don't know how. Tho I was a team leader at times I know I'm a better teacher than leader of men. The greatest struggle men in America have is the duality of our frontier Independent spirit at odds with a/our constitutional republic National mindset...
How do we come together in unity if/when the time comes, much less NOW, to advert a clear and present danger??
It starts in the home(or lack there of if this thread speaks to you)...much less a nation in distress...me of not many ask now "whats the point???" Pussy? Dismal. Family? Broken values all around. Community? Diversity killed that according to the statisitics via Stefan Molyneux (ppl stay in doors and watch more tv). Nation? Hows it going out there?? There are no effective strategies using lone wolfs entirely as a battle plan much less a nation building plan...and thats what all us are. We got to find a way to heal this shit.
This goes beyond the scope of this thread BUT...remember.
The reason men stand on walls is because we have shit to fight for. Namely our women and children. Community. Country.

'...Those images of feminine women glowing with happiness as they play with small children nearly bring a tear to my eye...'
Believe me brother; It'll happen more and more as you get older whilest watching both the land you grew up loving and bleeding for as well as the world at large, descend into what can only be described as a satanic orgy by design AND choice....

'...Paradoxically people are having less sex but with a little masculine self development it is much easier for the chad to have as many girls as he wants...'
I don't want to, anymore, brother. I did that. I thought it would bring me happiness. It did...ish. Then, it became more and more the pursuit of validation. Then, it became a desperation to FEEL SOMETHING...
Then...
It became a a desperate attempt to ward off the Darkness.
Like I tell my nephews, I will tell you younger lions. There are some roads that I will ASK you not to go down simply because the stain on your soul is something you can never ever wash away.
Go down them if you really want to. Just.....know thyself and what it will cost you. Much like the bullshit paradigm that's fed to young woman these days i.e. YOLO in your 20's, career and then family with a 666 man in your 30's, blahblahblah....
It's always a trade off even doing the 'right' thing. It comes with consequences both good and, at times, a low key nagging 'grass is greener' piqued interest that inherently tickles your brain and loins...
And that is where I come in. Again, maybe I just want to feel relevant... YMMV
I will not tell you young men what to do. Only what war, taking of lives, saving lives, being both moral and hedonistic will garner you. I've been warrior, stripper, fighter, brother, hypocrite, moral, evil, honorable...a man both good and bad that yearns now for a wife and peace. Stop fucking shit women. Lead by action. I know its societal rot but on this platform are some truly powerful men. Be that. Not that I like the 3% movement but it does have its relevance in that only a handful of men were the ones out on the Green getting fired on by the RedCoats. War and battles are fought by only a surprisingly few men. Whats that statistic? Freakonomics: Only something like 10% of a population is needed to unify voice to change the course of a nation?

I fully realize I did not set myself up for success in that. I wish I had someone that would have taken an interest in me as a younger man to impart some knowledge that I think is incumbent on all middle age/older lions to share. To whit, that's what I do now. So you younger men, if and when old men prattle at times....maybe listen for a sec before dismissing us. Some men have, much like the albeit desperately few glimpses I had into my WWII fathers mind when he wasn't drinking and kicking my ass...a story that maybe of use at some point.
Til then I'll continue to fight the good fight. For a while. But another 30+ years of this in my life time....that's a hard thought being as alone as I feel.
Thanks for listening men.
