I am numb now to the vast amount of people insisting on their right to degradation in their conduct. Many (men) are waking up to the fact that chances are forever more means until someone else comes along who is brand new and shiny and offers the excitement that always quickly wears off from that honeymoon stage where there is still mystery.

I have watched groups from in what is called the manosphere online, such as TRP and Mgtow. A common saying among them was "she was never yours, it was just your turn."

I am thankful (despite being taken to the cleaners twice in divorce) to be older. I couldn't imagine being a young man today being led to the slaughter, or a young woman misled into believing the power over men via her looks and sex appeal has an expiration date, despite the illusions makeup and such offer.

It was unthinkable that we could be so disconnected from one another, trained to be vultures for a moments self gratification at others expense when I was young.

It's nice to read posts like this from one who is young like yourself. Perhaps voices such as yours can influence others who are naive due to the overwhelming power and illusion of invincibility their youth cages them in.
