My sudden enlightenment

[The Manipulated ManParticipant 1856]

Welcome Bobario.

Appreciate your introduction.

thank you for this site and others like it and thank you for helping to unplug me from the matrix.

Since I started participating in the Forms and reading the stories of other likeminded free men, my MGTOW awareness/ understanding of the world has increased exponentially. The growth of the last few years surpasses the last fifteen.

Then one Friday night I couldn’t get to sleep so I got up and turned to the web for something to do. I searched for something like going your own way in life or something like that…

Creative moments like that happen to me too. Here is one example:

The following definition of Briffault’s Law hit me like a ton of bricks and it explains a lot. On the surface, it was too obvious, but then with time it sank in more.

In the past, I would pay too much attention to the words that came out of my ex-girlfriends mouths. They would manipulate me into believing that it was my fault, whenever they broke up with me.

Briffault’s Law:

The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place. — Robert Briffault, The Mothers, Vol. I, p. 191

1. Past benefit provided by the male does not provide for continued or future association.

2. Any agreement where the male provides a current benefit in return for a promise of future association is null and void as soon as the male has provided the benefit (see corollary 1)

AWALT

What happens when a man finally comprehends the cold and calculating thoughts that are going through a woman's mind, while her eyes are brimming with tears?

Welcome Bobario and thanks for the intro. I found this sanctuary in a similar manner. Get out and ride those bikes while you’re planning your future. Loneliness is freedom in disguise.

Bobario, that’s a fine stable of wheels you have there. And yes, my Camber is a 29r, which is perfect for rolling over all of the roots and rocks on my local trails. My old bike, a Specialized Epic with 26″ wheels, was a full suspension bike as well, but the smaller wheels meant that you felt all of those roots and rocks a lot more. At 54 years old, I’m happy to have a bit softer ride while I’m bombing down the trail.

The Trek X-Caliber line is a great series of hard tails — you can’t go wrong there.

Damn, Mr. White, I’ve never read that before. I like it. I like it a lot.

I wish I could convey to you what a wonderful position you are in!
You have it all in place for a fantastic life. The only realistic threat wouid be a woman coming into your life. That’s the thing to guard against
I too wouid advise you to rent. If you feel bad about it simply rent it out to a woman. Having a woman pay your mortgage will simply be one in a million where the reverse applies!

Welcome and congrats to your motorbike licence. I feel the urge for a motorcycle too but I will have to wait another 1 or 2 years to buy me a BMW (R 1200S or R Nine T). Have a Bergamont Threesome EX 9.3 (26″) mountain bike too and use it daily.

Hello Bobario and welcome very much to MGTOW and the Forums.

For 20 years I put off getting my motorcycle license. I always wanted it. 2 years ago I made a pact with myself that I finally would….. and I just MADE myself do it, and got my license 3 weeks ago.

Take from that whatever you will.

I just don’t know what to do next or where my path lies.

That’s actually GOOD news. Because YOU decide that now.
There is no more waiting to be shown (or told). How awesome is that.

I liked reading your intro very much.
Be sure to let us know with a follow up when you get your license and we’ll drink to that.

Damn you. I was looking at the NINE-T as well. A bike is still a WAY distant fantasy ( I’m trying not to think about it ) but I admit to cruising eBay just to find my dream machine for fun. Wouldn’t you know … my favorite so far is a Paul Smart Ducati. That thing is a work of art.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Congrats for your licence, riding a motorcycle is so much fun!

Oh yeah the R Nine-T is some bike I´d like to own, yet it is too expensive (looking for a used one) but prices are too high yet, gotta be patient.

Throwing some oil on the fire:

The BMW R 1200 S I could buy right now but I´ll take my time. Like Duc´s too, beautiful bikes like the 848. Had a look at the Paul Smart Duc… goosebumps! You mean this one?

Ducati Paul Smart by Revival

I like the customized BMW R-Nine T the have on Bike Exif entry form.

I had a inline 2 Honda CJ 250 T (my first), a XL 500 R single cylinder Enduro, and my last one was a CB 900 F2 Bol d´ Or 4 banger now its time for something very reliable with a V2 or Boxer and a driveshaft. My drivechain tore once going on the Autobahn at 120 mph I was lucky getting out alive and not shredding the engine block. Duc´s are pretty high maintenance and complicated and I do most of repairs and maintenance myself, yet I like them. I set the valve clearance on a Ducati Vento 350 once (single cylinder), man what a hell of a job that desmodromic valves are. Guzzi´s are nice too and they got a drive shaft as well, yet they have a pretty flat stance and I´m 6ft 3″ not good for my back, but hey there´s some time to make my mind up, not going to rush things.

I have a half decent job, my own home, a car and a stable of expensive bicycles to my name. Oh and no kids or wife to spend all my money. My latest plan is saving up for five or so years till my mortgage is paid off then selling up and going travelling for a few years. Somewhere cheap where my money will last a long time.

Ecuador is cheap: about 1/5 the cost of the US national average. Internet is slower, electronics are NOT cheaper, but furniture, food, rent/mortgage…all very cheap. So is labor in case you want a housekeeper and maid.
