I’ve been lurking for a while and finally decided to create an account and join. So yeah, hello all.

About me….40’s, never married, but living with partner of many years. She and I have a young son together. I discovered mgtow by accident but was immediately hooked and began reading this sub, mgtow forums and watching youtube video’s. A lot of my interest is in better understanding and recognizing women’s traits so that I can teach my son when the time comes. My own dad didn’t teach me shit about life or women at all. I’ve been screwed a lot but also been lucky and now finally have learned the truth.

Some of the stories and experiences other men relate are truly horrific. Thinking back on my own experiences, there were many times that women could have royally fucked me over. It was their own sense of guilt, morality, fairness, whatever that kept them from doing it. I dodged a few bullets when comparing to other men in similar situations.

Which brings me to the point of this post. I realize that AWALT is thrown around quite often and I understand why. It’s because it’s mostly true. But there are definitely degrees of behavior from one woman to the next and we as men should recognize that, even as we jokingly paint with such a broad brush. I want to be able to effectively teach my son knowing that he’s going to go after women. We’re genetically built to do so and there’s no point in denying that or telling him to ignore his innate desires. I want to help him think and be smart with women without vilifying all of them, which will make him tune out and lose trust in my advice. Those that swear off all women and go full-mgtow are usually those that have been repeatedly hurt, fucked over, or just extremely dedicated once that personal epiphany occurs. I don’t think other men’s horror stories will stop many younger men from sending themselves to the front lines. I want him to be prepared and would like to hear from any other dad’s about their success/failure in preparing their sons. Any thoughtful advice though is appreciated.

I know he’ll chase girls and I want to help him, but keep thinking of that line in that Faces song Ooh La la….”There’s nothing I can say. You’ll have to learn just like me and that’s the hardest way.”
