I'd like to start off by saying that I'm a 20 year old MGTOW. I've been following the philosophy for about a year now since my last girlfriend cheated on me.

Growing up and learning from other people they've always told me that I'll find a girlfriend eventually I'll find a wife eventually and eventually that's just kind of what happened as I started believing it. And I learned late in high school to not let women know how smart I am because then we'll see that as an opportunity for them to grab money. For example when I told them that I would be majoring in electrical engineering these females that I worked with would say "oh my Lord hit me up in a couple years and I'll be the perfect wife that you want." And even though I was still bluepilled it still made me feel disgusting that they would only want to marry me after I started making a lot of money.

Once I started college I've started going through the typical broke college phase. And I noticed that since I was paying for my way through school I didn't have a lot of money just to have a lot of fun with and because of that it was also pretty obvious that women wanted nothing to do with me because I didn't have a lot of excess money to spend on them. And I didn't really care about it but I could tell that my family was a little worried cuz they always brought up the fact that eventually girls will start coming to me once I finish school and that I should still keep trying to get a girlfriend now rather than later. And it just kind of felt weird that they wanted me to try to get someone to stay with me before I've made it. And I've explained to them that I find these girls at College disgusting because all they do is party and do drugs and don't care about the consequences of their actions.

Recently I just finished my sophomore year of college and got my first internship doing process engineering at and oil refinery. And honestly they're paying me extremely well just for an internship, $26 an hour. And I noticed that once I told my female friends how much I was making they started paying more attention to me and started trying to message me more. Even the ones who are in relationships started trying to form a connection with me. The other side of this is that my grandfather and his friends and my parents have all started telling me to start ignoring all signals from women even my mom has told me to start ignoring women cuz they're only going to be after me for my money. but of course that's only started once they knew that I had obtained this job and this pay.

It's just crazy to me that people will switch that fast just because of money in especially women switching instantly to wanting to try to Monkey grants to me because they know that I'm going to have a fantastic life and its security for them. Of course I've already learned my lesson don't trust females do my own thing go my own way and only worry about me and my dog.
