Hi everyone.
I wasn't sure where to post this kind of "new member" post but the over 25 seems reasonable to me, I'm not sure if many of the younger posters care about this stuff over Game tips or applications.
I stumbled upon one of the Manosphere blogs (not sure which one) and from there went into Tomassi's Rational Male.
After reading a few of the Rational's posts I was captivated by the insights and the quality of the writing.
I am a scientist and some of these things I already knew from personal experience and having an open mind - a clear example for me was "Choreplay" which I tried a few times before concluding was bull**** with a fair degree of statistical certainty. I guess there it helped me that I am aware of "Skinner boxes" in many aspects of life.
I focused my free time and after several days I have read his "Best of Selection" (and some of the other posts linked from those), and culminated now by reading his first book - I pretty much skimmed through most of the book.
I was already thinking of joining the community so that I could contribute and discuss some aspects, but it was the afterword in the book that made me took the plunge and select this forum instead of e.g. the TRP reddit.
So Rollo if you see this, your writing did help me become more aware.
My thanks go primarily to Rollo but in this kind of pursuit, as he well knows, we stand on each other's shoulders. I hope I can contribute something myself.
