is that you are looked after when you get older

BS.

What is the solution to getting older sustainably, as a MGTOW?

2 solutions, out of many:

live below your means
don't get old

I'm an old MGTOW (in my 60's)

I don't need anyone to "look after me" because I've worked hard to live an independent life, take care of my health, gained many practical skills, and achieved financial success.

If you're going to be MGTOW monk you have to learn to live without affection. Sorry, that's the hard truth, but a rich life with friends and intellectual exploration can make up for it.

I do have children, but i will never allow them to care of me other than the occasional workday or project we do together. That's also a reciprocal deal too, because I have seeded them money for real estate.

Solution:

Avoid cohabitation & marriage, don't spend your time chasing skirt

1, take care of your health, eat well, avoid junk, exercise.

2 Invest early and often, work hard, network with people, and take reasonable risks to gain assets.

3 Buy real estate if you're staying in one area. Over time, it will always appreciate, and you have a place to live

4 Find work, hobbies, pursuits that bring you joy and happiness

5 Maintain an intellectual edge by always seeking knowledge of the world, languages, art, music,

6 Try to find like minded men to spend time with, and if you're lucky you might find friends too

My mother literally told my dad "why don't you hurry up and die already?". Married some 40 years. Is that what you're looking forward to?

(About 10 days later she got her wish. Fuck her.)

Where are these women and children "looking after you"? Why do you need looking after? Are you just assuming you'll be infirm and someone will give a crap?

You can buy old age care insurance and go to a facility that is amenable to that.

Wives divorce you, kids can hate you. You'll die alone no matter what. No amount of clutching anyone else will change that or make it less painful.

Care for yourself and your health. Die with your boots on and get run over by a herd of water buffalo.

You may get looked after when you’re older. The dream is no good if your wife divorced you, takes half your stuff, and then turns your own children against you.

If a full half of marriages end in divorce, then there are at least a good half of those which are just miserable.

We all die alone. At least you can make part of that path on your own terms.

How old are you?

Define "old".

I am in my mid 50's, and I have my own view of MGTOW. You see, I have been married twice and divorced twice, so to me it makes sense that MGTOW is someone who has tried the American dream: college, job, career, wife, house in the suburbs .. . . and then decided to take a different route, hence the "OW" in MGTOW. Personally I don't "get" very young guys GTOW without getting a full taste of what's like. You know, I might have been wrong, or unlucky or... I do believe that we all need to really try something in order to then, possibly, deciding it's not for us.

But, anyway.

My life is great. Really. I can honestly say that I am living the best part of my life. In broad strokes:

I am financially stable and secure. Good financial planning, a bit of luck, and hard work have paid off for me.
I am childfree, so that made things easier in the divorces and, consequently, with my finances.
I own my own little company. I make a fraction of what I used to make when I worked in the corporate world but I was miserable back then (not just because of work) and not I love everything I do
I am physically in the best shape of my life, I lift at the gym, and I have a body that shows it
These days I date casually; I don't spin plates (anymore), so I always have someone to hang out and have sex on a regular basis.
I have some social life, I do something social 2-3 times a week.
I travel internationally 3-5 times a year

What will the future hold for me? I don't know. I will have to figure it out as I go along; so far, so good.

I am trying to put together a weekly groups of "guys having a beer" but since all of the guys I know are either dating or married, it's struggling to take off; I am having it on a Monday night, nothing happens on a Monday night, but... you know how it is, at first the guys are enthusiastic about it, and then... something always happens most of the times the wife/gf sabotages and guilt him into not going.

So, that's my testimonial on it. Good post!

that you are looked after when you get older

That's a really self-serving, needy style of thinking, I suggest you get rid of it.

Eat right. Say no to sugar, quick metabolising carbs. Say fuck NO to alcohol. Rigorous exercise. i'd recommend the ketogenic diet. Research is suggesting that is the most superior way of eating. Researching the big pharma and big food is the next red pill people need to swallow.

Wtf? Mgtow actually gets easier as you get older because your sex drives drops. And the sex drive is the underlying drive that fuels the desire for female companionship and Male mother need.

So unless you’re Benjamin button, you’ll find mgtow getting easier. It’s the really young guys that find mgtow really early thats really hard on them.
