When I was young, I often dreamt of an alpha boy. With him, I belonged. I was important. Loved. We were going to marry and be together. Once I actually figured out how to get to him. But that was years ago and the foolish fantasies of a lonely teenager. Parallel worlds were only a theory. Alpha males were assholes who wanted to get their way. Soulmates were just stories for children. Then everything changed. One morning, I woke up on a park bench, unable to remember my name or how I got there. There was something not quite right about this place–and clearly I don't belong here.

With this, you're able to watch other men make mistakes and overcome hardships so that you don't have to. It's a selection of case studies for the praxeology of the red pill. Some men take one step forward and two steps back. Some men feel stagnant for months, only to have the entirety of their world test them all in a weeks time.
