Lurkers Of The World, Unite!
I did this exercise last year and it was quite successful. I’m going to up the stakes. I want 100 new commenters. You don’t have to say anything except the following:
1. Age
2. Gender
3. Location
4. How you found my blog
If you want to give compliments to my blog, I won’t say no. If you have suggestions, speak up. If you think I’m just an old windbag, get off my lawn. If you’re a hater, your comment won’t make it through moderation.
Until I get 100 new commenters, this post stays up. You regulars, stay out of this. This is between me and my lurkers.

Been following a bunch of manosphere blogs recently, trying to keep up with new posts, and work my way back through the archives. I’ve been more focused on day game recently and have found some good advice in your articles, such as doing errands alone. I always have better results rolling dolo.
As a few of these guys, U of Man, Alpha Persona, etc., are falling off, it’d be nice to see someone pick up the slack in the areas they would cover. It’s nice to have various resources from health, to sociology, women, communication, travel… Helps to become more rounded and not just a pick-up scam artist.
Thanks!
The Manosphere is quite adaptable and look at the newer blogs to pick up the slack.

Atlanta
It’s been too long for me to remember. I started out reading Roissy/Roosh/Rollo about a year and a half ago, and just began following the guys whose comments I found enjoyable or insightful. I’ve generally lurked up until now, simply because when I first found this little corner of the Internet, I didn’t really have much value to add to the conversation. Everyone I follow is so much wiser/more experienced. I still feel like a rookie, but I’ll try to better about throwing my two cents out there, even if it’s just to agree with something or express my gratitude for a certain post.
As you learn and experience things, take notes and share. You’re at a great age to share. Oh, I lived in Atlanta on three separate occasions. I really like that city.
A lady never divulges her age……ok so I am 31. I am a little further away…Leicestershire, England. I came across you, so to speak, from a comment I made on Tao of Dirt about motorcycles! And I am now a secret addict and intruder on the ‘manosphere’! I look forward to your posts! Insightful and funny. Always something to be learned. Thankyou!
I’m still riding that motorcycle… it’s now got over 120K mikes on it, all mine.
It now has 120 ‘mikes’ on it! Interesting! Giggle! Over here it takes ages to clock up those mikes!
Oops, typo! But I’ll leave it unrepaired, just for shits and giggles.

I have read that Finland has a growing men’s rights movement. Is this true?
I am not sure about the movement, but Henry Laasanen blogs a lot about sexual marketplace and men’s rights. He is skilled at writing provocative essays, and some of his articles have gained a lot of popularity.
I think that his contribution has made these “heretic” ideas about SMP and sexual equality more well known, but I’m not aware of any large movements yet. 🙂
Question:
I get the general gist of what is meant, but can you tell me specifically what “taking the red pill” means?

Off link of UMan, gone but not forgotten.
LDS, are ya?
Nope, though LDS guys need game. Moved out here recently, but before finding the red pill. Came for the jobs, lot of work here in IT. Hell several of my friends ended up following me. It’s not a bad place, but I randomly catch flak from coworkers about not being married and I routinely about my age as it’s getting “weird”. Few of the drawbacks are the young marriage age of lot of girls, LDS girls tend to get plump (blame baking), and the bar booze rules. Even pre red pill would try my game at uni bars which basically don’t exist here due to zoning laws.
Though LDS guys are so nice they don’t really provide any competition, but as a favor to a friend I’m not actively trying to defile LDS girls.

Being a curious female, I followed and was more than pleased to find insightful information about men. I changed my online dating profile based on some of that information but it’s still work in progress…
I don’t have any links on my online dating profiles so it must have been one of my readers and good for him. It’s even better that you followed the link and came across the Manosphere. You should tell all your friends about it.

Hey, my names Jimi, reporting live from Australia. 21 years old, found your blog through The University of Man. Your writing is informative and quite neutral in tone, which I appreciate. L
Many thanks. Some Manosphere bloggers are quite strong with their words. I respect that and there’s a place for that. But I think that my more measured words and phrases have an equal appeal.
Quite right. Some proverb states roughly “you win more people over with soft words than with vitriol.” notice next time you hear somebody counter an argument without swearing, raising their voice or insults, and notice how much more effective they are. Softly softly, we men shall rise once again.
Keep up the good work. It’s pretty bad here in Australia. Hooded jumpers, short nails and flip flops (“thongs”) everywhere!

Discovered Chateau Heartiste about 6 months ago and have now assembled a roster of Manosphere blogs that I check regularly, your good self included. It’s always good to get different perspectives. I like yours because you sound about my age and with a similar personality type (quietly confident, f’ckd if you’re going to be anyone’s dancing monkey)
You and a few others prove what I knew already, you do not need to be super extrovert to swoop. Quiet confidence, frame and attitude are what counts. I kinda, sorta internalised this over the years, but it’s always good to see it laid out in black and white, which helps to crystalise it.
Keep up the good work.

49 yr. old female and her 21yr. old daughter from N. Carolina, we found you through other blogs.
I took what is now known as the “red pill” over ten years ago. When my daughter wanted to better understand the current male perspective and why she isn’t meeting the type of man/men she is looking for, one like her father, we went looking for answers.
You site has been helpful for her. Thanks.
The most hopeful comment yet… thanks so much.
No, thank you. Your blog is helpful and we haven’t been treated harshly when we dare ask a question, unlike some sites, one in which I was really surprised at the attitude I encountered considering the poignant header. The anger turned my daughter off for a while, but drove me to find out what was behind it so I started searching. Allow me to tell you and your gentlemen readers out there that all is not lost on American women. Some are getting it, look for them and reward their good behavior.
I think intutitively young women are starting to wake up and realise the teachings of the previous genereation were false and while I can not see us returning to the days of pre-feminism, I do see the Manosphere hearlding a time of accountablity for women that will change their current mode of thinking because in the end hetro women innately want to be in a relationship with men and will do what is required to be done to make that happen. Remember you hold the keys gentlmen, now jingle them where the ladies can see and hear them.
Everytime you get a chance to expouse red pill wisdom do. I do, sometimes it has to be ever so subtle as I live in a very liberal town and have to be careful. My daughter does in her actions and words at college and has seen two of her five roommates change for the better. I hope your readers will do the same. Change is coming but it is slow as always.
Privateman keep being a voice of change.

Wife decided she was not haaaaaappppy (for no apparent reason), started talking divorce. I started looking for answers. I found the Manosphere and took the Red Pill. It helped. I’m not sure if it was in time to save my marriage or not, I’m not sure I care. Apparently, everything I was told about women in my youth was a lie. Thank you and the Manosphere for the education.
” Apparently, everything I was told about women in my youth was a lie.” I just tweeted that, thanks!

I first found you through MMSL, and came over today from M3’s blog to delurk.
New verb, “delurk”. It has a nice ring to it.
Hello, Private Man.
41, female, Texas.
I’ve been lurking on your blog and other red pill blogs for about 6 months. I can’t recall the specifics, but I stumbled across your blog when I began searching for dating advice for women from a male perspective. Wait – now that I’m really thinking about it, I probably linked to your site via Roissy’s.
Your writing has been tremendously helpful to me, though at times I find your style to be a bit too cynical and acerbic. I guess that’s the point, really – taking pills isn’t supposed to be fun 😉 Your advice to women about focusing on a man’s good qualities using your women’s exercise is pure gold. I also found your online profile writing advice to be useful as well.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and talent with all of us.
And thanks for your kind words about my blog and how it has helped you.

I think I linke through In Mala Fide, or one of the many other manosphere blogs.
Cool. Thanks for reading!

Ah, the venerable Beppo. That’s a fine blog you have.
28, female, Indiana. About 6 months ago my husband suggested my brother start reading your blog (I think he found you through Dalrock) so I got on to see exactly what he was trying to corrupt my baby brother with, though it turns out it really was something my brother needed to read. He’s a great guy but waaaay too nice, and he dates too many entitled princesses. I found your blog entertaining and I like what you have to say so I read when I have free time.
I hope your brother learns and internalizes the things that the Manosphere teaches. Thanks!

I found the Manosphere through Hawaiian libertarian’s Paleo Baby post about a year ago, and it has been very enlightening. I immediately quit the shit-tests, quit nagging, grew my hair out, and adopted the “never say no” stance. I quit leading and making the decisions. I had already been mostly Paleo for over a year, so I already looked awesome 🙂
Refreshing and hopefully other women will see the benefits of Red Pill wisdom.
Male, 47, UK, linked from Hawaiian Libertarian.
Took the the red pill about three and half years ago and still trying deal with the realisation that the first 19 years of my marriage could have been as good as the last – for both me and my wife.
It’s never too late to learn.

28, female, Kenya. I found my way here after a search for good profile advice. Followed the breadcrumbs and here I am. Your topics resonate even back here where most of the young guys in town are settling to be Betas and bowing to women. Its frustrating. I am from the last city-kids generation which saw our fathers lead the family. Now there’s a new breed of women in town telling us its okay to take over. It wasn’t broken, why fix it? Am spreading word of this blog to all my friends. Thank you.
Wow, it’s even going on in Africa. Astounding. Thanks for spreading the word of my blog and the Manosphere.
Hi! I’m female, 46 years old and live in the PNW. Found your blog through moxie.
Clever user name you have there. And Moxie’s good people… a bit prickly on the outside, however.
Thanks so much! A “franny” is a sponge-mom-sweatpants, which of course I’m not 😉 Love the blog, read all the archives and spread the wisdom of the manosphere here where things tend to be a bit backwards. I have a 22yo son and do not intend for him to get stuck in the beta/blue pill lifestyle, helllll no! He’s getting it, no more special snowflakes for him!

I’m the one who turned Amber onto the Manosphere.
Not sure how I got to this blog. Probably either Roosh or UMan.
My eyes started opening after my heart was broken.
Weirdly, the woman who broke my heart was not my ex-wife (I was very lucky in my escape there).
It usually takes a broken heart to motivate a man to take the Red Pill.

I think I found this blog through a search for dating and relationships. Private Man, I enjoy reading your blog. You provide much food for thought and encouraged me to take a hard look at the “entitled princess” still in me. Keep up the good work.
PS. Your dog is a cutie. No way is she ugly.
Please, spread the word! My dog is ugly, I stand behind that assertion.

I just rode my motorbike right across your lawn. Looks like you’ve got some groundwork to do there now.
Lurked for a year, but like the rest of my life I’m not actually sure how I got here.
Virtual pint!
Well, your motorbike sucks! Thanks for the comment, however.

31, Male, Birmingham, AL. Found your place via Danny. Excellent writing. I also rather like your writing style. I’m an early 30’s professional and the elder among my social circle. It’s nice to have someone that has seen a bit more of the world than I have and doesn’t feel the need to come to me for advice.
Send those guys over here. Or send them to the Roosh forum.
I’m a little late to the party, but why not.. Have been lurking for long enough.
27, Male, Canada
Hard to say exactly how I found you… It was so long ago now. If memory serves right, it was from one of Athol Kay’s posts that linked here. Either that, or somewhere between Chateau Heartiste, Real Assanova (do I ever miss his blog) and Badger’s Hut.
Whatever it was, I’ve been a devoted reader ever since, and the journey has been eye-opening. So thank you!
Lurkers gotta lurk? Yeah, Assanova was pretty cool stuff.
TJ – 48, Madison, WI, man
Found thru a manosphere blog like Dalrock or someone like that. Always enjoy the read and the emphasis that women are not all evil bitchez1!1!1!11
Yeah, the “evil bitchez!1!1!11” thing ain’t my style. I’d rather understand women and not alienate them.

Can’t remember how I got here, but it started when I found out my wife was cheating on me with her “first love” from 34 years ago – after 32 years of marriage. She found him on Facebook, and I went online looking for advice – first at Talking About Marriage forums.
Athol is all about the Talking About Marriage forum. It’s good stuff he writes there.
23, Female, US, found you through either Roissy or Dalrock, I found them thru feminist blogs, was immediately repulsed by Roissy, but slowly came around to the red pill side
Roissy is the hardcore Red Pill dispenser. But he was the one I found first. Yes, hard reading, but a crash course. I learned to take from his writing what I found useful and leave the rest.
Roissy is brutally honest with the focus on brutal. Glad you found the Red Pill.

Don’t remember how I found your blog.
I read mainly CH, which is brilliant if a bit too cynical and groupthink prone. I read your blog because you are close to my age, live in my area and have thoughtful online-dating suggestions.
A South FL meetup sounds like fun.
There’s a new page at the top of my blog, “Spring Break 2013”. I’ll be posting up some details as they unfold.

I found you, Badger, Dalrock, Athol, Ian Ironwood and the late lamented Ferd and UMan after a happenstance look at an article about Manosphere blogs set me googling to see if you all had any answer to the question of why so many relationships (like mine) are so totally unsatisfactory.
Another DC guy… what is it about DC?
29, male, Porto Alegre – Brazil
I did post some comments before, but just a few… I consider myself a lurker. Most of the times, when I think of posting something, someone already posted similar thoughts… as I am lazy, then I just don’t do it. 🙂
Found you after a friend had some relationship problems and I ended up in a “hardcore” MRM (if they could be really called that) forum… I could see that they had something going on, I could fell the “truth” behind it, but they were too blinded by rage to see it.
After that, searching lead me to MMSL, Badger, Ian, and yourself. It is amazing how the red pill changes your view about almost everything around. I am engaged to a very good woman right now, but I do sometimes feel like I could have enjoyed my single life a lot better had I found this knowledge before I entered this relationship…. I was a very shy young man that doubted of his own skills and “handsomeness” too much, even while inserted into a context where I had a lot of advantage. Pretty dumb, right? I expected to teach all this to my future son (if I ever have one) while he can still enjoy it. Right now, I am using all the insights I find in the manosphere to improve my current relationship.
Anyway, your blog is one that I can send to blue pill friends safely, without being afraid to scare ’em off. Keep up the good work, thank you.
18, F, The Universe,
Definitely found your blog through HUS 🙂 Keep up the good work, PM. Thanks for all the advice.

Yo Private Man,
38yr old Bitter Divorced Guy over here. I live around D. C. Any chance you D.C. Players want to meet? My friends are a disgrace to the word wing man.
I started following your blog after the insightful comments you made at Dalrock’s and HUS. You are one of the best bloggers out there. Keep up the good work, we divorced guys back in the game need it.
Also, you replied to a email I sent you and that was truly a honor. Oh btw way when are you finishing your fucking Dating book already?
