Well, turns out it was almost impossible to find. I had plenty of success in terms of getting laid, but other than that my experiences with them were absolutely fucking horrible. No matter how bad it was, though, I just kept trying harder. I could literally write a book about it...a THICK book. Like War and Peace thick. For all my effort, I found ONE girl who fit all of the criteria I described above. Ironically, she was the one who burned me worse than anyone...which is really saying something.
It was only after my relationship with her ended that I realized I had to go my own way...I realized I'd never find what I was looking for, because it never existed. I realized I was literally destroying myself looking for something that I'd never find, and I needed to move on or it would kill me. I joined a MGTOW forum, and the rest is history. That was a couple years ago. I'm 32 now, and my life could not be better. MGTOW didn't just help me find a better place, it saved me.
Now my life is awesome. I have a lot of passions, hobbies and interests that I am fully immersed in all the time. My career is going great, I have a lot of financial goals that I am making progress on. I will have my student loans paid off by the time I'm 35, have a six figure net worth a few years after that, and I should have enough to retire on well before I reach 50. My goal is to retire in the Philippines and start a business there, maybe building guitar amps, or something. I might also take a sort of semi-retirement here first, working part time and just doing my thing in the meantime.
I have a lot of ideas, and a lot of things I want to do with my life. I'm working really hard right now, but I'm also really enjoying my life. For the first time in my life I feel really hopeful about the future. I'm doing all the things I always dreamed of doing, and life is just great. I don't see women the same way at all. I don't feel tempted by them, or even interested anymore. When my blue-pill fantasies pop back up every once in awhile, now there is a rational voice in my head that says "dude...everything is going so great, why would you want to go fuck everything up?" Even sex doesn't interest me, because I know what comes with it, and I'm not interested. Besides that, the women I see are pretty much all disgusting, damaged sluts who would try to ruin my life. What a joke.
So for me, there is really no reason and no temptation to pursue women at all anymore. Especially when I have so many other things that are actually worthy of pursuing. I just have better things to do now. I can pursue women, and watch my life go right back to shit like it always did, or I can keep pursuing my own goals and just watch my life keep getting better and better. It's a really easy choice...and I don't think I'm ever going back. I finally realized I never needed one to begin with, and I'm actually a lot better off and happier without one.
