What are some lifestyle choices or decisions you’ve made that most people would consider “unconventional”? — taking a different path, coloring outside the lines, etc. If those choices are in hindsight, how do you think about them now?

I chose porn over normal human relationships, turned women down, and went my own way. It bugs me that it still seems like the obvious right choice, which means I must be extremely weird and not know it. Like looking at a clearly longer line knowing it must be an illusion.
Interesting that you’re having trouble triangulating why this seems right for you! Surely there are internet communities where this is discussed? Is this aligned with MGTOW? (Sorry if stupid question, I’m not too familiar.)

Reddit gave me every last look inside people's marriages and why they like it, shows me why other people reject my views, and gives names to all the personality traits that might make me weird. It doesn't change my subjective egotism that says "OK, but that's a dumb way to be."

I did read a lot of stuff as a kid that you would recognize as MGTOW now -- there's sort of a mix of misogyny and cost-benefit calculation in some conservative thought. And I'm the kind of person who makes a life strategy based on the advice he read about as a kid.
