Reposted this from a few minutes ago. Let me start by saying I’m not MGTOW just yet just a lurker, but it is really tempting and I see very few downsides. I’m 18, just graduated HS and have just started my first semester of Uni. I have just recently gotten into my first serious relationship its been 6-7 months. I did my “background check” of this new girl i liked to make sure she wasn’t some sleazy girl that had been passed around and found out she also hadn’t dated throughout HS. She liked me back and we soon started officially dating after a few dates. She didn’t have a job at the time so I paid for every date and movie we saw, used my car to go places and whatnot. I didn’t really mind at the time. About three months into the relationship She starts showing her true colors. She is hard to compromise with, and likes to start arguments over seemingly nothing. She is also very sarcastic and it's hard to tell when she really means something. She has a bad home life and her dad and her fight alot. I really liked this girl and wanted to know what I could do better for this to work. One thing that woke me up and told me you could never please a woman is when this happened. When I asked for her to tell me where she feels I’ve been lacking, she told me I needed to give her feedback and solutions to her problems whenever she is venting and express my emotions more. I said “Ok I can work on that for you”. After this she then becomes upset and says “But I shouldn’t have to tell you these things!” She points out a flaw, I acknowledge the flaw and promise to work on it and it's still not enough. I have to be able to mindread and not have that “flaw” in the first place. She is lazy and has skipped her first semester of college because she procrastinated and still doesn’t have a job. I’m too young to be stressed like this and I am just tired. The only thing you get out of having a gf is occasional sex and social validation that you are a “good man”. I want to cut it off and be single again. I had more money, time and good friends around me. I want to let young men my age know its not worth it fellas.
