Considering Leaving WSO

I have done my best over the last few years to try and provide advice, mentorship, guidance to those looking to enter the industry. Over the last few months, work has slowed down and I have become more active. 

I am considering leaving the forum though, I cannot take it anymore. The influx of prospects who continually throw monkey shit when they have no clue is annoying. It's not even worth my time anymore to try to help. I am sure that there are others who feel the same. 

Venting a little, but also feel that as someone who has been on this site for 10+ years it should carry some weight. WSO has gone soft. We went from a models and bottles type of site, to one that glorifies the SIMP and ostracizes those who criticize that type of behavior. WSO has even gotten to the point that they limit the amount of monkey shit thrown. What a fucking joke.

This dude deadass asked to fight me because he couldn't handle some flame on his shitty covid vaccine take. Yup, wso is getting soft but I don't think it's the prospects. You won't be missed boomer 

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
 

I think you’re putting too much thought into monkey shit, who gives a fuck about it? If you enjoy it here and you’re helping people, you should hang around. I recommend investing in tinder gold and splitting time between there (50%), here (40%) and LinkedIn (10%). The 50-40-10 ratio has never failed me buddy.

 

I don't need dating advice..... covid has provided a weird environment where I have too much time on my hands because everyone is afraid to go out. I am trying to give back and help prospects. But it just seems that no one these days wants actual advice. Instead, the want to "dunk" on people on social media and virtue signal like their life depends on it. 

 

You said in another post you're in your low to mid 20s, and now you're saying you've been on this site for 10+ years? So that your opinion can have more "weight"??? Get outta here buddy

 

LOL still salty about that sparring match yesterday in which you made a fool of yourself?
