The people that enter your life, were put their to make you a better, stronger, wiser man.

Experience is a good "teacher". Nevertheless, it is such a shame that we were not taught these things growing up. I think that as Gynocentrism evolved and slowly encroached into Male Spaces, All this wisdom was stifled. Now we had generations of young boys that society programmed everyone into thinking we were defective girls and were shamed for it.
This is why it is a very dangerous path for single men. Society is programmed to perceive us as Problems and to be suspicious of us. Consider how differently they treat single females. They are Always welcomed into groups, events, and gatherings. Single men are simply forgotten or avoided. This causes a retreat into isolation, on the mans part. We are basically the leftovers of society. They just want us to do our job, in service to society, and GO AWAY.
Just look at how these Russian soldiers are being shot in the limbs and even the genitals, then the Ukrainian soldiers are calling their mothers and mocking them to their faces about how their sons are being tortured.
It's going to get much worse, Gentlemen.

Unfortunately, lessons burned are lessons learned.

Sometimes life's lessons can be harsh but they're useful. If nothing else it show's you what to avoid in the future.

Good for you, bro. I also went MGTOW around that age. However, I've never been married or never even moved any camels into my tent. So yeah, I'm a lifelong bachelor or the man who's never made that mistake once ;)

Only a GUY could be this profound? This is what I learned a long time ago is to GROW out of the CRAP life gives you? I say CRAP, but really it is much needed knowledge and strength. The sad part is it takes a life time to realize this truth? Not all MEN get it either? Women NEVER get it at all because they are pathetic children until they die.
