Great read. Takes me back.

I think the key takeaway is that there are limits to what the individual can do. He either recognizes the limits that society places on him or he bands together with other men and leaves society or goes to war with society.

That is something that could also be elaborated on in your article. Many of these men left the West. Roosh, Lira, Forney. Most small-time PUA types live in SE Asia now. There they can go to prostitutes without having a mental breakdown because no one looks down on them for it.

The things people do when they are young and energetic and don't have a clue what else to do or why. Interesting modern subcultural review and introduction to the insider terminology thereof. Young males with revving engines but slipping clutches.

Reminds me of another idiom: being "young, dumb, and full of cum", https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/young%2c+dumb%2c+and+full+of+cum

Pretty much says the same thing, I agree. Much energy available for harnessing by themselves or others, though. Is how households used to be established.

Yes. If I don't marry a half-brain and add hearing her confused nonsense and smiling to it when at the end of the day I am done with the obligation I have to hear confused nonsense and smile to it in society and at "work", I am going to give off creepy-pervert vibes. I already do.

But at least there are chances I don't end my life jumping off a bridge — I doubt there would be chances for that if I had to co-exist with a lady, and her thinking and critical thinking faculties.
