Most mgtows had their TRP phase, their pua phase. A lot of mgtows have been married, or in LTRs, some had bad experiences with women, others simply have enough brains to observe society and realize women are not good. Contrast that with TRP, that is full of young inexperienced boys who cant even think past their thirst to get laid, they are redpilled though, but a lot of them won't even listen to what mgtow has to say, and in reality some TRPs are just incels competing for scraps, modern women. Even though MGTOW and TRP is indistinguishable in how they define female nature. TRP are normally younger men who lack direct experience with women long term, and have not seen the full effects of it. If the TRP dude is only looking for sex, not female validation, relationships with women, then he is in fact a mgtow. If the TRP is only looking for sex, a lot of times we would be better off going to 18 yo escorts that are 10/10, and cheaper in time and energy than going for a 6/10 25 years old that got a train run through her.

The most important reason to be mgtow, is because female companionship will destroy you as a man or at least hold you back. The fact that you might say this is might not be true, is because you are delusional and you didnt experience it. Female companionship is what makes a man comfortable and weak. History has plenty of examples of settled men being conquered by nomad unattached men. Its because female companionship reduces your testosterone.

It is hard once you are in an LTR to get out unless you have other options or you have a shocking behavior from her that forces you to leave, this shock always comes after many slow escalating redflags that the man keeps ignoring because he is hooked, and the more he ignores the worse it will be for him. Men are also unaware that even the frame he holds, the shit tests he passes and the fights he wins, in a relationship, are all tactical victories for a woman.

Most men are hooked in relationships, because of the 4 chemicals in our brains (serotonin, endorphine, dopamine and the T lowering oxytocin) that are realeased with female companionship. Those chemicals exist specifically to keep you hooked and provide for her, and in these days that is not good.

Also. Most relationships force the man to choose between being a cuck and get slowly destroyed or become an abusive alpha, there is no middle term. Middle term means you are being a beta cuck and with the stress of still being a little abusive. The woman knows that when you become abusive it means you are hooked and so fucked that you are willing to do whatever to keep her. Women reward abuse and dominance by being submissive and docile and punish beta behavior by cheating on you and increasing shit tests.

All the roads lead to mgtow or death.
