| 2 | MGTOW Health and FitnessOh no...I completely disagree with you. Not about the concept of prioritizing stress reduction, hydration, sleep, a healthy diet and exercise. Every solo man should prioritize all of the above - that's just common sense. I disagree completely with the methods you've prescribed and highly doubt they will achieve the desired outcome. I'm also not calling you a moron. I'm telling you you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to health and that I think you're lying about a lot of what y… | /r/MGTOW2 | 18/07/21 09:00 PM |
| 0 | MGTOW Health and FitnessYou didn't really take into consideration... No, I absolutely did. I just didn't want to type a novel, but since we're going down the rabbit hole... It doesn't matter what your motivations are and it doesn't matter if you're following a carnivorous diet for 2 weeks or 10 years, our digestive system and the human body in general isn't designed for it, period. Now if you're overweight, that adds another wrinkle to the equation. If you've been eating the kind of garbage that would make you overweig… | /r/MGTOW2 | 18/07/21 08:10 PM |

No. This is not only wrong and extreme, it's potentially very harmful on several levels and just as bad as suggesting veganism is the shining path to health. Ever hear of diverticulitis? Maybe colorectal cancer? Humans are opportunistic omnivores that require a BALANCED diet, including lots of fiber (which works with water to keep your digestive system working properly) and vitamins/nutrients that are not found in meat.

I'm not trying to shit on your dreams, but I believe you have an idealistic/romanticized perspective about the realities of living off grid as I did when I first considered doing the same. Living off grid is hard, but doing it solo is damn near impossible.

Someone should link this sub in her comments.See, the thing she can't seem to understand is that not everyone chooses to make their perceived victimhood the dominant aspect of their identity. As a female, she is part of a protected class. Women have never had it better than they do at this point in history, yet she remains either incapable of or unwilling to accept the fact that her world view is not supported by objective truth (not her truth or my truth, THE truth).

| 2 | Recommendations for investing into a trade.Absolutely. Carpenter: Of all the trades, carpenters are most likely the ones to become site superintendents, custom home builders, teachers or inspectors. You learn everything about building structures, but you can also specialize in say log homes, timber frame construction or get into side-hustles like furniture building. Most carpenters I know also do concrete, masonry, drywall and roofing and because of their wide knowledge base, eventually move into general contracting or running sites.

I still work in the construction industry, but not on the tools. The one thing I always tell anyone considering a career in the trades is this - as soon as you decide what trade you want to get into, start planning your exit strategy.

| 4 | Eat well GentlemenI'm not trying to shit on your post 'cause that sammy looks tasty, but I wouldn't consider that eating well. I see bread (bad for gut health and therefore brain health), processed meat (carcinogenic) and lemonade, which is basically just liquid sugar. If you want to eat well, eat paleo. As MGTOW, if we're choosing to face life solo, we have to take care of ourselves. There are few better things that we can do to improve our well being than a good diet. Just my 2 cents. | /r/MGTOW2 | 17/06/21 01:11 AM |
| 1 | How do you guys feel about vasectomies?I said he should discuss it with his doctor, not take his doctor's word as gospel. There's no justification (other than laziness) in the present day for failure to educate oneself, considering the resources we have at our disposal.

| 1 | Staring, Withdrawing Affection, is Domestic Violence, according to new GuidelinesI worked on a job site on a university campus several years ago. We were told in no uncertain terms that if we were caught staring at a female for more than 3 seconds, we could be charged with harassment and banned form working on university grounds. Even if we were just gapping out, lost in thought, if a female perceived that we were leering, that's all it would take. Basically, just stare at the ground. | /r/MGTOW2 | 13/06/21 05:10 PM |

As with any surgery and despite minimization by those that have had positive experiences, there are risks and lots of horror stories out there...just do a search. To each their own, but lack of self control (condoms are very inexpensive and have the added benefit of preventing STDs) is a pretty stupid reason for unnecessary surgery in my opinion.

I haven't actually listened to Gang of Four in a while, but as a result of your post, I'm on my way down the 80s rabbit hole tonight (Ministry, New Order, Siouxsie and the Banshees...listening to Mothers talk by Tears for Fears as I write this), so thanks for the soundtrack to my Friday night. | /r/MGTOW2 | 04/06/21 10:59 PM |

If it weren't for traffic, that same commute would have been about 2 hours round trip. I basically had enough time during the week to go to work, come home, squeeze in a quick workout (if I felt like it, which was rare), eat dinner, wash up, relax for about an hour, then go to bed to get enough sleep (which was poor quality due to stress) to get up a… | /r/MGTOW2 | 03/06/21 10:46 AM |

What you just described is AVOIDING a punch, slipping a punch, or bobbing, not taking a punch. Apparently training hasn't done much to prevent you from being a dumb fuck, so I'm not sure why you figure it would help anyone else.

If you're that fragile and don't want to be called out on your bullshit, don't post or comment. This is literally the opposite of a leap in logic.

Boxing will certainly toughen you up a bit, but sustaining repeated sub-concussive blows to your head over years is going to result in some form of cognitive impairment (CTE), no matter how good your chin is and even if you keep sparring light.

| 29 | Let's Forget about women for a second..MGTOW for me is part Buddhism and part prepper mentality. I have no interest in being a "lethal threat to the system". I just want nothing to do with it and do everything in my power to feed it as little as possible. Just live a simple life, try to be happy and do your best to limit the impact clownworld has on you. You can do that by being self-reliant, reclaiming your place in nature and decoupling from consumerism. Worked for me. | /r/MGTOW2 | 01/10/20 06:12 PM |
| 2 | Life no longer works the same way, now that I'm adult. I'm no match for many of the challenges that have plagued me recently. Is anyone else going through the same thing?My brother...I understand what you're going through. I've been there and I am just emerging into the light at the end of my tunnel. It has been a long and very difficult slog and I almost didn't make it. It may be hard to believe, but this will ultimately land you in a positive place, as long as you view this as an opportunity to remake yourself. What you are describing parallels the experience of contemporary masculinity. You have been chewed up and spat out by modern society and are disgusted … | /r/MGTOW2 | 30/09/20 09:28 PM |

I can't see how you would feel the need to respond the way you did if my little story didn't make you question your misguided world view. some people do have low standards for themselves And others have an inflated sense of self worth. What's your point? If you were destined for greatness, I find it difficult to believe that you … | /r/MGTOW2 | 30/09/20 07:28 PM |

This little story elegantly illustrates a simple truth it took me a half a lifetime to understand, despite the fact that it was staring me in the face the whole time. I couldn’t care less if you find it challenging to see the value in a quiet, simple life. The OP asked for an opinion and I provided it.

| 2 | Question on politicsOh, I agree. It just seems to me that it's more obvious now than at any point in my life...that they are actively stoking the flames of division and not even attempting to make a show of trying to hide the corruption. Not sure where you live, but you should see the shit that's been going on in Canada over the last 5 years or so and especially what's been happening since the start of the plandemic. It would be really quite comical if it wasn't so dangerous. | /r/MGTOW2 | 29/09/20 12:12 PM |
| 1 | Question on politicsThanks dude. the average citizen has absolutely ZERO baring on things Maybe not, but like I said to the guy above, you can still limit the impact that all the bullshit has on your life if you just stop accepting it. You can choose to take greater control of your own life. If you: Prioritize health. Work out. Move to the country and live as a part of nature. Only own property that provides practical and strategic value. Learn martial arts. Meditate. Grow and hunt your own food. Build and fix your… | /r/MGTOW2 | 29/09/20 01:16 AM |
| 2 | Question on politicsIt won't, but it doesn't need to change - especially not for a formidable man. People don't realize that obtaining "fuck you money" isn't the only way out. Self-sufficiency and decoupling from the system as much as possible is the other escape. Sure, you still need some money, but if you look at everything causing conflict in our society, it's all downstream from greed in some way. From politics to professional sports to the media to entertainment to tech to finance...all these fuckers only have… | /r/MGTOW2 | 29/09/20 01:03 AM |
| 11 | Building a businessAlso, read this: The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived. | /r/MGTOW2 | 28/09/20 06:37 PM |

As he sat, he saw a Brazilian fisherman rowing a small boat towards the shore having caught quite few big fish. The businessman was impressed and asked the fisherman, “How long does it take you to catch so many fish?” The fisherman replied, “Oh, just a short while.” “Then why don’t you stay longer at sea and catch even more?” The businessman was astonished. “This is enough to feed… | /r/MGTOW2 | 28/09/20 06:32 PM |
| 7 | Question on politicsI'm anti-politics. When you really look at it objectively, politics these days exists to ensure the plebs are at each other's throats while the ruling classes pillage our capital and resources. If you need an example, the racial strife infecting the west at present is really a class issue. However, because politicians see it as an opportunity to direct the anger away from the ruling classes and towards a scapegoat (working and middle-class White people) while cultivating an image and prolonging … | /r/MGTOW2 | 28/09/20 03:41 PM |

One of the biggest problems with MGTOW is the romanticization of skilled trades work by guys that just don't know what they're talking about.

As I got older, I started paying taxes, mortgage, car payment, commuting for 3 hours a day (plus side jobs on weekends) to a job that paid well, but I hated and that damaged my physical and mental health.

| 1 | Honest questionThe assumptions you've heard are clearly those of toxic people who feel the need to vilify that which they fear or couldn't be bothered to try to understand. It's much easier and less damaging to their world view to dismiss the MGTOW community as misogynistic/racist/whatever-phobic incels than it is to see them as human beings and try to understand where they're coming from. It's far less difficult to destroy a straw man than a rational argument. | /r/MGTOW2 | 25/03/20 04:30 PM |
| 2 | How to dealWhy don't you just tell them that you're single, happy, that your love life isn't their business and that their energy would be better spent on themselves. Tell them that pestering you about your private life is disrespectful and that this will be the last time they ask you about it if they want to keep your relationship on good terms. Be kind, but be firm and make it clear that you're basically telling them to fuck off and mind their own business without being rude about it. | /r/MGTOW2 | 16/03/20 04:40 PM |

It's about turning your back on a society that has gone completely insane. The truth is that LGBTQ politics have had a profound contribution to how fucked up things are at the moment.

There are many people who have had a profound impact on humanity and yet taken their own lives. I would argue that the meaning of life is to be happy. In the grand scheme of things, my life isn't going to mean much, if anything, to humanity.

He's clearly talking about Ayn Rand. I've read every one of her books and really bought into the Objectivist Philosophy many years ago. While some of the concepts in her work still speak to me, I find it more and more difficult to support her opinions. | /r/MGTOW2 | 27/01/20 10:19 PM |
| 5 | The hardest lesson was learning to walk away.I've always been a bit of a loner myself, but I had to walk away from a group of friends about 8 months ago. I'm 41 now and these are people I've known, in some cases, since I was 5 years old. It became clear to me that they have always been toxic people that had and were continuing to have a profoundly negative impact on my life. Despite the fact that I believe you are ultimately responsible for your own choices, it saddens me to think what life could have been if I'd had the courage to surroun… | /r/MGTOW2 | 27/01/20 06:32 PM |

For many years, I was that guy at the party trying to rile the troops and make people aware of all the things (crony capitalism, environmental issues, the normalization of degeneracy, influence of banks, Agenda 21, the war on boys, etc.) that were going on in the world that down the road would make things very difficult for their children.

"Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of the cancer cell." - Edward Abbey I'm not some black-pilled, nihilistic misanthrope, but if you can't see the inherent value in a man living quiet, simple life - especially considering the current state of things in western society and of our planet in general - you might want to engage in a little introspection and decide whether you control your ego or if it'… | /r/MGTOW | 26/01/20 02:18 PM |

You: "I like our arrangement as it stands. I'm single for a reason and happy that way. If you want to keep seeing me, this is how it's going to be.

| 6 | Eating AloneNope. I'm on a first name basis with all the servers in all the restaurants that I frequent. They're usually inquisitive at first as to why I'm sitting there with a book instead of with a girlfriend. I don't talk about MGTOW, I just tell them very succinctly that I am happily single. They never bring it up again. I straight up don't give a fuck what anybody thinks about me or the way I live my personal life anyway. | /r/MGTOW | 11/11/19 01:39 AM |

Don't wast time being intimidated...you will never find greater acceptance or camaraderie than among martial artists. Depending on the size of your city and the number of gyms, you could easily go a couple of times a week for a month before you have to start paying.

Is that the only goal there is?You're making a lot of assumptions and, despite the length of your post, not really providing much beyond your personal opinions to support your conclusions. Though I would never assume your motivations, I suspect you don't have much experience with fitness. I can also see that you're still in the phase where you're focused on women instead of yourself.

What I was saying was that the people referencing anecdotal evidence are usually the ones promoting a plant-based diet and their judgement is often clouded by bias and ignorant of established facts.

| 3 | Eat Plant Based Guys - Join a Recreation Center - Super HealthyBut it is the consensus. This is nutrition, not quantum mechanics. Individual people may have varying opinions based on personal experience or anecdotal evidence and they might even have compelling arguments to back up their beliefs.

| 7 | Eat Plant Based Guys - Join a Recreation Center - Super HealthyWhy do you need a peer reviewed study? A basic understanding of human physiology will tell you that a vegan diet is severely deficient in a wide range of nutrients that are required for optimal human health and that our bodies are set up to consume the kind of omnivorous diet that would be the product of life as an opportunistic hunter-gatherer.

It is not wrong to do what is in one's nature. There is quite literally nothing more natural for a human being than to hunt and gather sustenance. BTW, an animal's milk is for their offspring, not for human consumption.

First and foremost, you're doing something that is both uncomfortable (as much as you may enjoy it, eventually) and requires a level of discipline most people simply don't have.
