I saw a young man who looked almost exactly like me when I was that age. 14 or 15 at the oldest. He was walking like I used to, was overweight, and I couldn't help but just feel sorry for him. I was the fat dork. I'm not where I would prefer to be yet. I hate to even criticize this young man, because I know how hard it probably is on him. He doesn't know any better. I certainly didn't. I often think if I had become red pill aware at a young age, I would've just fought it and denied it.
Part of me wants to approach other guys and tell them about all this stuff, but few people (men or women) would actually read the material, do the work, or simply take the easiest "white knight" or NAWALT route. It's almost like I want to "spread the gospel", but this seems futile. A man must go through his own refining process. I can appreciate what many people in my past tried to tell me where I was messing up, even if they were going about it all wrong. It took years for me to figure it out, and now the only way to go is up.
I fear for that young man. I hope I'm wrong in my assessment. Maybe he has a strong male role model or maybe he actually likes or plays sports. I had strong male role models (all blue pill, though), and as far as sports, who wants to spend more time around the same guys that bully you in school? I hated that period of my life. Even now, I have to remind myself that I can't be hung up on something that happened half a lifetime ago.
