Practical reasons. Regularly visiting the MGTOW sub is unsustainable for me if I want to live a healthy emotional life. The temptation to pick up my phone and browse for a little anger fix is too great. Anger can be addictive.

Warmongering has very little to do with masculinity beyond the most superficial level. If Bush could have swayed the public to support the invasion of Iraq by wearing a tutu, he'd have been doing pirouettes at press conferences. Media writers would have gushed, regardless, because enforcing the status quo is their job. Feminism was once poised to do something that really would have challenged the prevailing order of the world during the second wave. It recognised that men were suffering because …

They're easy targets. Since men are viewed as occhpying a privileged position regardless of their actual circumstances, someone who has that and still "fails" is seen as a worthy of insult.

I remember a blog, Humans of New York. A photographer would take pictures of interesting looking people and allow them a small caption. One sticks out in my mind, an older black guy with sunglasses whose quote was simply, "your birth was your validation".

There's more to ghosting than just not replying to text messages. The point is to be leading such a full life that answering her is optional. No time wasted sitting around wondering "what if", no staring at old pictures. Ghosting is remembering why it didn't work out and having the strength to allow both people to live their own way. If they contact you, that's their moment of weakness and none of your business.

The writer sounds hopelessly naïve. The idea that she was single for a year and all she achieved was casual sex and drinking in 'finding herself' is embarrassing. It suggests her problems run much deeper than not being able to find a long-term partner. It seems to me that her problem is she has all the emotional and intellectual depth of a fucking spoon.

There's a lot of truth to what you're saying. Unfortunately I come from a place where it's still acceptable to call someone gay as a slur, and I suspect the tactic is still used a lot. The difference is that the power has diminished.

You've struck on something important, something that I wasn't encouraged to do until I was a 24 year old graduate student. You've adapted your own passions and interests to your work. Putting aside all the bullshit about women or whatever else in this sub, independent study is maybe the most important thing I have ever learned, and singularly responsible for shaping my life. Hold onto this lesson and there's really no stopping you. Good luck for the essay.

The reverse is true. I've always been a wreck in relationships. It's only since staying single and taking care of my own needs that I've found any thing close to peace of mind, a happy life, good friendships, etc.. I also still have my foreskin, which is a bonus.

It's tempting to look at this as just a collection of anecdotes, but then it was the feminist movement that coined the phrase "the personal is political". What does it reveal about our broader social and political structures that things like this happen so often?

They were trying to provoke a reaction or make you doubt yourself. The entire point is to make you second guess whether they were talking about you, whether there's something wrong with you, etc.. This is the kind of thing women do to eachother throughout their entire young life, like a social sport. It's so natural for many that they do it without thinking. It's also pretty cowardly and low-risk for women to take little shots at guys, for exactly the reasons you describe. Why they would want to…

I've had cumulative, terrible experiences with women, but these aren't interesting and they're minor contributing factors. The main thing to move me in this direction wasn't a push, it was a pull. I love my work, I enjoy earning money, I love planning my career. Nowhere in the vision I have for my life do I see a wedding or steady partner. The world is too interesting for me to want that, there's too much I want to do. Outside of work, I'm also a political activist (not directly related to gende…

I can't relate at all to people who feel their youths are the best part of their lives. Everything I value about myself has come with time and effort. Compassion, emotional toughness, education. The world is so much bigger and more interesting than I could have ever realised as a younger man. There's so much to do that my only worry about getting older is that I'm not using my time wisely enough right now.

The topic title reminded me of the profound feeling of loss after my long term relationships. It is upsetting to lose the affection/intimacy and everything, but the worst part for me was the loss of time.

I'm 27 and haven't got life all figured out yet, but I love posts like this because people often can't see the possibilities ahead of them.

You've struck upon something I've been thinking about how to introduce to MGTOW for a while. Charles Bukowski wrote, “I guess the only time most people think about injustice is when it happens to them.” And it's disturbingly true. I belonged (and to some degree still do belong) to activist circles, people who care deeply about systemic bias and bettering the condition of everyone, but it's hard not to notice that the majority of us care about the issues which touch upon us most directly.

I'd love to raise a kid, truthfully. Striving to give them a better life than the one I had, imparting my values, seeing what way they grow, giving them all the advantages I could.

I've found myself having to undo a lot of the messages I received about the world from cinema. I used to love films as a kid, and while rationally I always knew the difference between fiction and reality, media is designed to be emotionally compelling. To pretend that years of exposure to it doesn't affect you is absurd. Viewed in that light, it's amazing the steady diet of crap we're willing to feed our minds.

My last became long distance after a four year stretch. She was cruising OKCupid and Craigslist for sex, and in fact she made no effort to hide it. She then began taking male hormones and identifying as queer. That was about two years ago. I still can't believe I got so emotionally caught up in something so ridiculous, but have been counting my blessings every day that it wasn't more serious. I take comfort in the fact that she is several thousand miles away.

My nephew. He's only 7 years old, but I know he's going to lead a hard life. I have 20 years on him, so my idea is that by the time he reaches his teens I'll be there to give him advice, then in early adulthood I can lend money, help him out with his first car and flat, etc., all the things I would have wanted growing up. Otherwise I quite like the ideas in this thread, to find someone to mentor, or to simply leave it to charity.

The dolls are also used for medical purposes, male and transgender dolls are made, and the robots automatically end conversations about violence. It's interesting. For all the attempts to portray this as sinister and seedy, it seems the creator really does seem to be creating these dolls from a place of compassion.

Men, just like women, need a place to vent. They need support, and they often have to deal with a lot of contradictions about dating that aren't easy to understand. Take it up with the people who've been deliberately invading, changing, dismantling or belittling male spaces for decades.

It might be worth introspecting why you're insecure about it and reaching some level of acceptance. You say yourself you're comfortably within average range (actually a little above if I remember the stats correctly), so you must see it's irrational. Not to go all armchair psychologist, but if there's any particular thing that feeds those thoughts that you're somehow inadequate when the facts show you're not, you should stop exposing yourself to that thing.

This is just your usual 'showerthought' (i.e. coming from many quality seconds of thought) type speculation, but this is what happens when a generation of men reach maturity with unlimited access to porn.

I disagree, economic and social value is heavily context dependant. A few generations ago young men would have been dying in wars or exploited as industrial labour. Not to mention, surely everyone should have some innate value just by the virtue of being a human being.

Funny that this should come up now. Recently I was looking through old conversations with an ex dating back to 2013 - 2015. It's strange how much your memory deviates from what was really there. In retrospect I could see she was playing a game, while I was emotionally invested. She kept herself in a position of power. I don't have any social media so my exes aren't capable of telling if I'm any happier. At the same time, I'd never dream of inflicting that on myself.

I think it depends on how you treat the original culture. If you're making money off crass stereotypes then it is disrespectful and seedy. If you're using the culture as a genuine creative influence, instead of a novelty, then you're just participating in it and spreading something you enjoy. Problem is, this a) usually requires a bit of knowledge about the history of genre/culture, and b) is largely a matter of taste. The example I'd fall back on is hip hop.

Exactly. Conflating romantic relationships with 'emotional growth' in other areas of your life simply isn't accurate: any work environment, any team sport, any hobby involving other people...

One thing I don't like is the association between 'not dating' or 'giving up on women' and 'checking out of society'. I am participating in society as fully as I can. I'm at the beginning of a career I care for a lot where I'll have the chance at helping people collectively. I have hobbies and interests. I get on well with my family, I support my friends and parents emotionally. The arrogance in assuming you must be a mental teenager because you're fed up with the dating game or don't want to br…

At one point I was very stereotypically good looking. Shortish, but thick and well styled hair, flattering stubble, slim but well built. I had horrible experiences where girls would try to physically drag me to dance with them, flirt with me openly in front of boyfriends, and sometimes even press their bodies against my crotch without any signal I was interested. Since then I've sort of stopped caring. I work out to feel good, still, but I no longer keep the stylish haircut, letting it grow out …

If you give up on women, you are allowing these evil parasites to deprive you of your happiness. There are millions of other men who will happily take your place. Giving up on women is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Yet more people who cannot accept that no, really, it is not worth it to me and that yes, I am the best judge of my interests. Let the men who will jump in my place do so, they're welcome to it. People fall into this trap of thinking MGTOW is some sort of protest or d…

I completely agree. It's part of an entire narrative that men are sexually easy to satisfy, always available, always looking, and have virtually no standards for who they sleep with.

Our entire lives, we’d been surrounded by this big, supportive community, parents, teachers, a group of friends our own age. When all that went away, we felt more alone than we ever had before.

No, I don't think so. The activities against working men's groups were carried out by the state in the interest of business.

I have to disagree, there's a long, ugly historical record of violence against groups representing working class men.

I think much of it is to do with the near total removal of class from public discourse.

I don't think that model would work economically. You can run the crappiest gym and a lot of men will turn up, because most of them care more about physical fitness.

It's striking that the person they refer to for another point of view, a psychologist, only has some very vague and wishy-washy things to say about role models and a rudderless generation. Clearly that's untrue, even in the example presented. That teenager clearly looked up to his brother and his uncle, and observed that relationships with women ruined their lives. That's not 'chaotic', that's straightforward learning from the world around you and the experiences of people you care about. I get …

MGTOW is stereotyped as hating women because there's a lot of anger here. I'm not passing judgement, but there is a post not two or three places from this one titled "why some cunts become femicunts". I think what needs to be grasped is that individually people on MGTOW have different attitudes.

Long answer: I love food and variety in taste, but for a number of reasons I tend to think of it in practical terms as fuel before an experience. First is that I was raised on a pretty good diet in a family household concerned with nutrition. Emphasis was how to get things done cheaply, tastily, and in the right amounts for the body. Second is that I follow a pretty intensive exercise programme, so when I look at food I think "will this help me recover and function optimally" rather than "how wi…

The best thing is to really not be bitter. That's difficult. However if you do feel bitterness, people really should be aware that how you feel doesn't invalidate your point.

There are a number of terrible myths surrounding fitness, one of which is that women shouldn't touch weights, or that lifting beyond a certain range will make them 'bulky', etc.. Public health information is slowly changing to reflect what fit and strong people have known for a long while: that lifting has a lot of benefits, that you don't need to kill yourself every workout, and that resistance exercise can be very efficient for otherwise busy people.

Purely anecdotal, but every gym I've been to in my area has about 3:1 ratio of men to women. The men also tend to be doing things which have a far greater effect on the metabolism, such as throwing around free weights or doing calisthenics. Men are encouraged to think of themselves as physically strong and fit, and judged more closely than women when they're not. The tradeoff is that women are raised in relative ignorance of fitness and how to practically work towards it in everyday life. Just a…

I actually think it's okay to let it get to you, for now. Be honest with yourself, you're angry and with good reason.

People have different values. I didn't watch the video, but clearly it was extremely important for him to adopt. My guess is he was extremely emotionally connected to the kid(s), which is great. I think preservation of genes is an, at best partial, and at worst inadequate, explanation for a lot of human behaviours. We clearly have a lot of choice and self-awareness in our behaviours, which is something quite unique to us. That being said, knowing your child is yours is important to you. That's t…

It's remarkable that 'relinquishing inappropriate control' is considered 'surrendering'. Power dynamics in relationships, particularly long term relationships, can be an ugly thing.

My first instinct is to say that generally I am accepting of any expansion of worker's rights.

This is one of the best aspects of MGTOW. It's a dissenting community first and foremost, encouraging men to do something that's virtually never suggested anywhere else: to take control over every aspect of their lives, not just material, but with regard to sex and relationships, too. Not only that, but it's non-hierarchical. No one here competes for social status, or as far as I can tell, even sees much value in the idea.

This entire thread is really fascinating, and makes me wonder about what sort of life I should be leaving as someone just turned 26 years old. I have no idea how my life will look in ten years, but like most people here, I want as much freedom and security as I can acquire in my lifetime. I do want to save, invest, and buy land in the future. I wish I had more to add, but I will say I do seem to have an instinct for finding unconventional routes and interesting jobs with an unusually high degree…

I'm torn over this. From a public health perspective, the statement from the council is correct, in the UK women do tend to participate less in physical activity at all ages. I can see why this might have seemed a good idea initially. Yet the guy who sued is also correct that it is a discriminatory business model. The problem seems to be in the proposed solution. The idea of having women pay an optional additional cost if they wish to attend during those hours seems pretty reasonable, but may ru…

People with unrealistic standards tend to isolate themselves, if not practically then emotionally. The girlfriend may tear through any number of people feeling constantly dissatisfied, not realising that people like the guy you've described are really on the high end of catches as partners. I'm sure the guy will have better luck with a more down to earth person. It's no loss to anyone but the ex girlfriend, really.

Even teenaged boys and young men, those who aren't likely to have the knowledge or experience to navigate these situations? There's a reason why these scams work. They deserve our compassion and support.

I have a personal view that is deeply sympathetic to the individualism, self-sufficiency, resistance to conformity, etc. that's often expressed through MGTOW, but I completely disagree with Red Pill politics and social Darwinism. I like reading MGTOW in particular because I understand the mindset, I can see people trying to make sound judgements on the basis of their own critical capacities. I may disagree with the conclusions many people come to, but disagreeing is okay. I still like the core m…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
