Membership on this site is for men who have swallowed the red pill and do not keep hopes for a girlfriend or wife! If you do have those hopes (if you are blue pill or purple pill) and registered because you want to talk with us, you've made a mistake, so instead of wasting time doing an Intro please PM a moderator to close your account, no harm, no foul. You should instead chat with us using the Nonmember Questions & Opposing Views sub-forum as an Unregistered Guest.
A valid Intro is required from each new red pill member. We have provided this Sticky to help you be successful in writing yours. Please read fully the information below before you begin. Once you post your Intro, you will not see it right away on the site because a Moderator will need to first see it.
How to Intro? When in doubt, be specific. We'd like to know about: your relationships, what happened, your experiences with women (good, bad, and ugly), how you came to swallow the red pill, and anything else about who you are & your life experiences. As you may well know, MGTOW gets its share of trolls. By understanding your history and what makes you tick, we can do a better job of ensuring the right people make it through. One more thing- do let us know how you heard of this site.
A heads-up, if you are a member of 'HQ', there is no requirement for you to make an Intro (you can if you like, following our criteria). However, in lieu of making an Intro, we will need to confirm your 'HQ' membership as active. For this, we would have you log into that site and send to us there (to a username we will give you) a PM containing the URL of your HQ Intro.
In order to discern genuine users from trolls, we will request the following information:
1. Relationship history (experience with women, red pills, what about it made you made you aware; note- you don't HAVE to have had relationships but you can speak of your interactions with women) -- it turns out trolls don't have good, realistic stories of this ilk.
2. Awareness: your previous blue pill perspectives, how you transitioned to red pill, with enough detail about what brought you to MGTOW.
3. Who you are: tell us a little bit of who you are. What you like, what you do, etc.
9 times out of 10, a failed intro will NOT provide enough detail about who you are and relationship history. A mod will request more detail. At which point, more detail should be provided soon. If it's not forthcoming, the user will be removed. We need to be strict about this to ensure the community stays high-quality as it has been from the start.
Important: Our mods currently active on this forum are sirreaper, Mr Wombat, and Unboxxed. They will come by to review your Intro. They may ask a question such as "Please provide more info on your relationships?". This is for your own benefit- they need this information to ensure the community can vet you in accordance with our principles and ensure we're getting people with the right intentions. Trolls usually don't have a life story; so this filters them out. So please answer the question if asked. If you argue or ignore this request, you will be banned.
If you're new entirely or a lurker on the old forums, please intro yourself.
Thanks!

Example of a good intro.
