Mid-life crisis for women. Because the man just proved to himself that he could and he did. Win.

If your frame is made of straw, it will collapse if a woman farts in your general direction, much less a real shit test. The problem isn't with external forces in themselves, they are a given. The problem is in the design and construction of your frame itself. Think hard about designing an earthquake proof frame. It's a harder problem than you think. Because abstract.

Say you've got $100 in your wallet. And $100 worth of chutzpah in your soul. You've got $200 worth of "go" in the 'arena' with women. MGTOW merely bets that you'll be broke by date 3, and TRP and PUA will point you to many fictitious places for you to get payday loans to fund your addiction to women, whether or not you know how to game them. How you roll depends entirely on how you view debt.

Wrong on cooking. There's a shit ton you can learn about the culinary arts, nutrition, culture, travel, history, geopolitics. Some of the hardest core men out there are professional chefs. And line cooks are in a fucking foxhole 15 hours a day. But sure, you don't have to look at cooking this way, but my monk mode includes this badassery every time I enter it. Plus, women don't cook anymore. Sad.

You are asking the right questions. I could write a screed, but what would be more valuable is to introduce you to YouTube's Turd Flinging Monkey. Lots of great MGTOW philosophers out there, but TFM changed my worldview utterly and completely, and I am in a happier place because of him. YMMV, but I recommend him because of his even keel. If you care about fairness with a huge dose of mindful sarcasm, TFM is a great shot in the arm.

If there is meanness involved that is more than hormonal mood swings, she might be BPD or bipolar. My ex-wife showed all the same behaviors and I endured it like a boy scout for 15 years. (boy scout = idiot) Fwiw, they can't fix either condition. Know emotional abuse when you see it.

Hats off to you for sole custody and owning the responsibility. I know single parents and though I can't generalize one way or the other, I think mindfulness is the starting point and knowing when to apply and release pressure on these critters is key. Meaning, having self-awareness about whether or not an action by you is actually good parenting or you projecting your own needs onto them. I understand why pre-parent MGTOW would shit on the whole deal, because parenting is a huge set of challeng…

There are MGTOW who like anti-feminists and those who are suspicious of them. I think the jury is out. Either way, I think Lauren would be a blast to hang out with no matter what. You should see her slutwalk-reporting vids. Brave woman. Anyone who has the balls to break ranks is cool in my book. MGTOW is all about breaking ranks. Don't forget that. YMMV on this and that's fair.

NAWALT as a concept needs some precision, imo. Too loosey-goosey in its present incarnation. I'll take a stab at it. Here goes: Only 0.0001% of women are NAWALT. Better odds than Powerball, but still the suck. Play at your peril.

Fear of loneliness is the main reason most TRP'ers cannot go MGTOW. In other words, only until you can live life without women can you even entertain the possibility of living with them. Let that roll around in your head for a bit.

Oh, I am aware. Read Dawkins and Fisher ten years ago. Understanding it is one thing, controlling it is another. It's the epic battle between the limbic system and neocortex. Maybe you're a total badass at non-attachment, but I am not. At least not yet. Working on it.

And the not knowing is killing you somewhere inside. I know about this phenomenon. Been there. Am there. This is something that you must carry. No manosphere rhetoric will ever fully make it go away. Love is the most powerful emotion there is, and no one truly understands it, much less are in any position to control it.

Kubler Ross path over three years, a destructive but educational PUA-TRP phase, then MGTOW. Anger-sadness-anger-sadness throughout, with regrettable substance abuse. Better now, serenity as MGTOW. YMMV, but I truly believe the goal is serenity, through clarity, discipline, self-control and freedom.

I appreciate you asking (troll or not, whatever), if only to put my own thoughts into words. My answer will be unique to my situation. I am almost 50 and have a young daughter. I went through three years of extreme bitterness about women during my separation and divorce. But I realize that was counter-productive and corrosive. MGTOW, to me means simply separating the wheat from chaff. Bear in mind, I am MGTOW raising a female in a fucked up modern world. I read 300-800 pages of non-fiction a wee…

I'd love to think so. My nine year old daughter was part of one of the first real world field tests for the new Kano computer in coding camp this past summer, which I co-coordinated. She loved it, having never written a line of code prior to the camp. Her mother thought the whole idea was boring and nerdy and fought me on it tooth and nail. Now my daughter writes little programs using animation and logic and emails them to me as raw C code to be compiled on my end. I, father.

I spent 3 years dating aggressively after a long marriage that was abusive and awful. I dated women of all walks of life between 25-45. Of course I was successful, following the TRP ethos. It all works. I transitioned to MGTOW because I think hypergamy is positively real (after date #51). I decided that only until you can live without women can you actually live with them.

Downvote on shit attitude. It is entirely possible for a man to love a woman this deeply and not have it be fodder for dismissal. If he someday gets shafted, then let it be and have him deal with it like a man. But his words are incredible. I have had a failed marriage of 18 years, but I can tell you right now with certainty, that it wasn't all bad. Experiences are all instructive and what is instructive is inherently good. What you miss in his words is a heart alive and beating in a man. It is …

She never read the newspaper, had no idea where Syria was on a map, and guess what she did on her day off... she cooked for friends in these elaborate farm to table gatherings, but hid in…

I believe this a false premise, no matter how prevalent and strongly stated here. I think what TRP is a very good defensive framework for dealing with the fickle nature of women. I apply it everyday. But there are those here who think AWALT is a cop out, adding legitimacy to an inherently defensive framework. I, for one, know plenty of women who don't fall into the AWALT description. I have dated them, things don't work out, and contrary to popular opinion here, we settled into mutually respectf…

There are two parts to this. You've elaborated on one, therefore your thesis is incomplete. But I applaud you for giving it a go. As another commenter mentioned, other types of people have unshakeable conviction. All it takes is a walk down feminist and criminology lit and you will see that connecting masculinity to conviction alone isn't enough. It comes down to what exactly it is you believe in and are willing to defend to your marrow. Every code helps some, hurts others. Back to the drawing b…

This is so true. I've learned that every female upon first meeting her requires that I place a metaphorical price tag on her. I might think she is worth $500 for a perceived return of more than $500 (otherwise why pursue it?). She, of course, values herself at $5000, but whatever.

This is pandering to sell more tickets. It's not like they cast any old actress for the part. Monica Bellucci is still smoking hot and will give Bond a run for his money. What is interesting here is how they craft TRP Bond vs mainstream fem-power. My guess will be that Bond will stay pretty Bond, despite the politically "updated" hyperbole. Frankly, all the Bond girls have been pretty badass, so I am unconvinced this is anything all that significant in the cultural landscape.

You can try your damndest "not to get her bored". But you'll fail. Because hypergamy. And because it's missing the point. TRP teaches you to improve yourself so that the "I must try to entertain her at all times for fear that she'll stray" thinking doesn't even factor. The point being: you will be the one who gets bored because she becomes so predictable.

Betas set the expectations of compliance. Alphas set the expectations of IDGAF. Both have consequences to the male when things blow up, but the IDGAF mindset is the more resilient of the two. Management of expectations depends on how attached one is to the preservation of some end result. IDGAF mindset doesn't care about preservation of end results. Compliance mindset, however, does.

Where I often depart from the TRP obsession against Oneitis is that sometimes real Love is actually in da house. It takes real discernment, and vigilance to TRP principles still apply.

Though never made explicit, TRP is not anti-love p…

No one ever changes their minds on the spot. If they do change their minds at all, people typically do it quietly on their own, away from the gaze of like minded peers.
