I get what you're saying and completely agree with your second paragraph. But in my view, in this case where you come from determines where you go - guys who go MGTOW are in overwhelming majority - as you put it - "leaving the dating game", they've had sex, relationships, marriages and turn away from that. I obviously don't have empirical evidence on this, but I'm quite convinced that experience with women is basically a requirement to go MGTOW. Guys in foreveralone can't "leave" - their issue i…

Setting aside some regular time for self-reflection has been the overarching change for me. I don't really have a thing for meditating, I just sit down on my balcony or a quiet place outside with my phone off and let my mind wander or write sort of an irregular diary. That led to most of those more list-able changes: commitment to running regularly instead of just leisurely, with planned training to run and improve at races lifting ~2 times a week to work out all parts of the body no more porn a…

"I just havent met the right girl yet", lying is not the right answer I don't think that's technically a lie though. If no girl in the world is right for you, of course you'll have a hard time finding the right girl. But it's still true that you didn't find the (non-existing) right girl yet. ​

You never know, man. I already told the story in here, recently reconnected with an old friend I hadn't met in years, turns out somewhere along the way he got redpilled and he's absolutely MGTOW (without knowing the term). Also it didn't even take a messed up relationship for him to realize all that.

I think you're absolutely spot on and I'm a little surprised this view doesn't have that much traction around here. I stopped jerking off about a month ago (always watched porn) and all in all I think there's a lot less sexual stuff on my mind.

Honestly man - what do you think what this "break" is meant to do? Like what's the idea behind it? Look, I get that you're coming here for the first time and there's people preaching stuff that may look like flat earth society to you, but taking a fucking "break" (or should I say "fucking break") is not red pill or MGTOW or whatever secret conspirational knowledge. This is just facts. Experienced and suffered by countless guys. Sorry to break it to you man.

The conversation then becomes pretty uncomfortable lol I usually try to change the topic or excuse myself That's why I just dodge the question, as probably most people on here do. It's none of their business anyways. And if you don't like lying, there's also the r/mgtow standard answer that's 100% true: "I just haven't found the right girl yet".

Men (with girlfriends/wives) usually say, "yeah, you're not wrong". Only when they're drunk, in my experience. When sober they want to convince you to share their misery.

Well, holy shit. It's sad to read what some men are willingly enduring. Stories like these are always a good reminder how wretched I could have ended up if things had developed just a bit differently though. She "will be visiting him one last time this weekend to tell him never to contact us [...] again", can't help laughing at that bit. Absolutely necessary to visit him to convey that message. I'm sure that's all activity that's planned for that visit.

I rebuilt myself and I was doing great. That's what I'm doing too. It's only been a little more than half a year, but I'm the best I've ever been right now and I'm improving daily. To be honest, you made me realize there's something inside me longing for the day this will happen to me.

being alone is just too hard for many people. You have to face yourself. You have to deal with you. Yeah, if you're at this point, facing yourself most likely will mean facing some uncomfortable truths. It's absolutely necessary though if you want to move forward - MGTOW or not. Diving head first into the next distraction will do no good, ever.

Disregarding the fact that the game never stops and you cannot be open or honest with her ever True. The part where I said "be completely open and honest" and so on was just meant to stay within the mainstream fiction of how relationships supposedly work. Saying their fiction doesn't even make sense in itself.
/r/MGTOW09/08/18 11:31 AM

Even the game itself made the whole experience unenjoyable alone. It's almost comical that you have to put on an epic show and play a game to find a partner to share your whole life and be completely open and honest with. Like how does that even remotely make sense?

I've never really been into the dating scene a lot, but that's basically the first thing I learned. I mean even just going for a walk will do. It requirs a certain amount of attention, it provides conversation points, and most importantly, both parties know that they can just nope out at basically any time without even having to think about needing to stay to pay the bill or whatever. But yeah, the issue not even about dating really. Man or woman, friend or family or whoever the fuck, I'll ask o…

Absolutely. It's not only dating though.. all the social pressures at school, just trying to belong, all the bullying and that stuff going on.. I remember kids destroying each other back then. Can hardly imagine that environment multiplied by social media.

I think I told the story before, we used to have so many pillows on our sofa that you could not sit there. We had to put them into the closet when we had people over or they would've had to stand. So ridiculous.

I have trouble believing that young, attractive, intelligent, healthy women would have any incentive to offer such a service. (After all, they could just get married instead.)
/r/MGTOW08/08/18 12:00 PM

Yeah, I had that thought before that MGTOW and minimalism go together quite well. Having less useless stuff you have to care about frees personal resources (time/money) and therefore awards a degree of freedom, which I like. Another idea that gets brought up a lot in here and seems to go similarly well with MGTOW is finanicial independence / early retirement, also making the connection by the freedom aspect.
/r/MGTOW08/08/18 08:40 AM

minimalist lifestyle is a cope for poor people That doesn't really work out though. A lot of people even argue that minimalism is a hobby for rich people. The argument being that hoarding clutter is a necessity for poor people because they can't afford to buy things multiple times, like minimalists might have to do ("I haven't used thing in over a year" - toss it - a year later - "oh, I need thing now, gotta buy it").

I recently re-connected with an old friend. We're both single and sat together with two other friends, one married, one in a relationship and with a kid.

I conveyed that I'm happy with my life at this point, but I didn't start preaching or going into any more detail.

Good attitude that, besides the ranting, you're making plans to improve your situation. Just sad to hear that that's life in Cali. I've been on a round trip there nearly a decade ago (I'm from Europe), and I remember beautiful nature and scenery and have a lot of fond memories of my time there.

Been there too, man. Props to you for fighting through, keep it up! Sports and gratitude is what's keeping me sane. I still have the occasional "relapse" day though, making me struggle to stay with the positive mindset. There's just this weird attraction to return to that place inside my head that I've come to know so well, to bathe in the familiar darkness. I have to conciously remind myself that it's a trap, that there's nothing but misery down there. Still struggling from time to time. Anyway…

Many people are afraid to. It took me a couple of months to just do it. It's just another one of those stupid expectations of society that you can't just go out for a nice meal on your own. People who do it are expected to be weird, loners, pychopaths, whatever. Sitting there, you get stupid looks, and you get envious looks. I don't mind people looking.

Absolutely agree. I just don't understand what this is about at all. This kind of makeup just takes everything that's individual away. They could just wear a plastic mask instead. They only look like the copy of a copy of a copy ... also, if you're not applying a blur filter to upload this to instagram, the whole shit looks like you'd need a hammer and chisel to get rid of it.

I don't feel like I have to explain myself. I haven't been single for too long so they mostly don't care yet, but whenever that starts, I'll politely let them know that it's none of their business.

I don't have sympathy for people who let themselves be abused I do, because I did let myself be abused too. Just a couple more wrong turns and that guy could have been me. Yes, of course I was weak, a pitiful existence. But what can you really do when you're raised that way and society tells you that's the meaning of life? Only when you see there's other ways and, despite that knowledge, you deliver yourself to the system again, that's when sympathy should end, imo.

Pretty much the same background for me, except I was (still am a little) "skinny fat". Average weight, but everything below the skin was just wobbly, no muscle. I started running in a more serious way, training plan and joining events and stuff, because I realized it helped me get out of my depression (told the story before). After about half a year, I realized that on my rest days, something's missing. Realized what's missing is sports, so I signed up for a gym membership. Seeing good progress …

You're not wrong regarding your spending on electronics. Personally, I'd just prefer to invest a majority of that money (and not give stuff away for free): I choose to only have one of the three major console platforms. My TV is from (I think) 2009, just plugged in one of those Amazon sticks, and boom it's a smart TV. I'm a hobbyist nerd, but my OnePlus 3 phone (2 year old model) that I bought used when its successor came out still serves me fine. My €300 computer from 2012 still does Hearthston…

Not doing anything too fancy aside from being a vegetarian (I'm not replacing meat with soy or similar dumb replacement products - I just leave it out). I try to clean eat and cook at home whenever possible. Order a pizza like once or twice per month max, have a beer with a good movie or sports event - strictly no sweets or snacks though, luckily I never even feel the urge. I'm active 6 days a week (running and lifting) and at 28 years old, I've never felt better/healthier in my entire life.

True. Also any form of property (be it house or apartment) you live in is protected from various demands of the state. That includes certain tax benefits, or unemployment support where you would have to use up your savings before getting support, while you wouldn't have to sell your house and use up that money.

That depends on both the individual circumstances and a number of assumptions you have to make about the future, plus usually comparing apples to oranges.

LONELINESS FEELS BETTER THAN HAVE HER CREATE CONSTANT DRAMA AND BITCHING If you feel lonely at times, there's lots of options to fix this that don't involve having to commit to a female.

All my experience says what "décor" usually means is piles of useless shit used as an excuse to throw your hard-earned money out of the window because a woman feels there is a need to just spend money.

It's the big stuff that you're locked into month after month that keeps you from building wealth ... and also from going your own way, to an extent.

If I ever get to that point and I don't happen to have a pump and dump candidate on hand, I'll go for an escort. But maybe that's not your thing either. It's your time man.

It may be a fact, but it can't be the truth. This doesn't make any sense to me. A fact is a fact. You can't discuss if a fact is the truth. The very meaning of those two words makes this nonsense.

I'll assume OP had that assessment made before, in a clear state of mind, and decided to steer clear of women, to go his own way. Now, as he describes himself, he's under stress and anxiety. This is not the time to assess situations. This is the time to come back to conclusions you drew before, from a neutral perspective.

What the fuck have they done to deserve one? Duh, they were born with a vagina and endured male privilege for decades, of course.

Man, the silence. Coming home to your place and just bathing in the silence for a couple of minutes after a long day at the office. It's like quick-charging my batteries.

Pretty accurate from my view. Of course you can socialize and have some small talk with colleagues. Gotta beware of the occasional bored woman collecting and spreading gossip all day though.

I'm probably just experiencing it differently because it's what I grew up with. As a Franke, I woudn't expect anything else from Schwaben though. ;)

Plus germans are quite cold and distant people. That's a bit harsh. Yeah, we're mostly not very outgoing. I traveled the US some years ago and I was pretty shocked how often people in the streets just talked to me out of nowhere or just made some remark about whatever just happened. I'd get annoyed with everybody being so superficially nice to me from time to time though. I think somewhere between those two extremes would be ideal. Also, but this might be a thing of the rural area I live in, you…

Is this a German thing? I'm German and just assumed that's how reasonable people do business worldwide...

Yeah, it is. Also, the ideas known as FI/RE in the US took a long time to spread to Europe. I wasted some good years worth of money and interest just fooling around because I was too dumb figuring these things out myself. Now I'm investing a good chunk of my income to eventually be able to work part time and fill the gap with passive income. I think just showing up 4 hrs a day instead of fully retiring would be the best circumstance for me, anyways.

Yes, I did. Another lesson learned. Enjoy the laugh man.

Honest thank you for saying that. I know and it's one of the reasons I got into bad situations before (like that last relationship). I'm fixing this, but you can't just flick a switch and it's gone.

And still, she'll find some fool to take care of her.

To put it short - got mentally and financially abused by an entitled bitch to the point that I got severe depression from it. When I pointed that out, she dumped me, and used the 7 days I granted her to find a place to stay to fuck another guy in my apartment while I was at work. I'll never get humiliated like that again.

Wow, man. This heavily resonated with me. I've come through something similar, although not nearly as bad (no intruding mother, no suicide attempt, no losing my job). The part about working your ass off, then coming home to clean up her mess for hours, exactly what I had to put up with as well. It was like living with a two-year-old, she dropped anything wherever she just happened to be. The concept of a trash can seemed foreign to her. Anyways. It took a heavy toll on me mentally, so I'm really…

I have no trouble believing this. I tried Tinder for two weeks or so. How those interactions work out really says it all. I won't go into judging my own looks but I got a couple of good matches without too much hassle. Anyway, 4 out of 10 won't even respond, another 4 out of 10 will - despite serious effort to strike up a good conversation - only answer "yes", "maybe", "no", 2 out of 10 will actually engage in conversation and agree to a date, which 1 of those 2 then won't attend. Those 9 out of…

I mean I found this sub after going MGTOW (before I knew it was even a thing). Its funny, but I think that happens to a lot of people - they realize how crazy society is today, and just check out, only to find groups of people that they identify with. I was kind of in the process of identifying more and more of the craziness of today's world. I already had decided that I would focus on myself and retreat from unnecessary social activities and relationships and I think it was then when I looked o…

Ha, neither do I, but I guess he accepts it to be able to be with his kid and have someone run the household. I'm just surprised because from my observation, even these women inexplicably seem to be able to always find another idiot to care for them.

To live is to suffer. A blissful life is nothing more than a blue-pilled dream. I don't know about you man, but when I just sit outside in the evenings, cold beer in my hand, watch the sun go down, I don't suffer. When I kick back and play on one of my game consoles, I don't suffer. When I take a walk in the woods and work my mind, I don't suffer. When I take my convertible out for a ride, I sure as hell don't suffer.

I'm 27 and it basically took me until now, through two long term relationships (plus some teenage flings before) to learn that my life is about me and me alone, and free myself from everyone's expectations. First relationship lasted 6 years (age 17 to 23). Talked about settling down, marriage, having kids. Of course, this is a time of your life where you're still very much in the process of finding / defining your self and I found that having kids was not an option for me. It was mandatory for h…

While I think a lot of people would have done just fine with a single session at my late grandma's (cry out your problems, get some variation of "get your shit together" followed by a story of real problems, hunger and fear during WWII in Germany), there's also mental conditions that require a professional.

Thanks brother. Luckily I'm doing fairly well. I started taking my running seriously (never had the time for serious training before, guess why) and will start my first half marathon soon. It's amazing how it positively changes my mind.

Luckily, that's exactly what I did. Can't say where I found the strength, but there's been no contact beyond the absolutely necessary to get her stuff out of my place (which was a bit of a hassle because as it turned out, surprise surprise, she's a mess who can't do shit on her own).

In hindsight, that's pretty much exactly how it went. She took advantage for sure. Not gonna happen again!

Yeah, I've seen a lot of guys who are that way. I guess I've once been a version of that too. Luckily I got out before marriage and kids. But there's other guys too, and I'm lucky enough that two of those are close friends of mine. The first one got a cute girl knocked up, she decided she wanted to have the kid and so they basically "ended up together". Not married and not planning to, custody stuff is worked out and signed to be 50/50 (of course you could still get fucked at court)... After the…

I've had the same thing with my last one. What made it infinitely more ridiculous is that, as I only realized after it was over, she was actively and conciously gaslighting me too. I got a nice depression from it that I'm still fighting now, and when I told her, she pretty much instantly dumped me. That's what brought me to the mgtow mindset. The whole story will make a great rant post if I ever find the time.
