What "moment" in your life caused you to become MGTOW?

When I started questioning why should I put up with all the drama and bullshit just to get laid

Divorce...when my exw started talking to ex boyfriends online and tried to deny it when faced with the evidence. She then said it was my fault. That was enough for me. Swore I'd never be put in that position ever again.

It wasn't one event.

String of girlfriends over the years that always did the same thing

They started out pefect. Love bombed me until I was attached, then drew back and started playing fucking games. They usually ended up getting dumped shortly after this phase.

Never got married

Never had kids

Then I saw the "#WasteHisTime2016' hashtag on Twitter and started reading all the responses. It left a pretty sick feeling in my stomach.

Then MeeToo happened and I said Fuck Them! Act like a rattlesnake, expect to get treated like a rattlesnake :P

Then I found Sandman, Miggy, and Howard Dare.

It was on my third serious LTR that I noticed the strange similarities with all three women. Then I stumbled upon this sub and it all made sense at that point.

Birth.

It was way more than just one moment, but if I had to pick only one. It was the moment when the scale tipped over to women being a bad risk. Since then, the scale had bottomed out and I clearly see that women aren't worth my effort or time.

When I splurged on a GFE hooker. They pretend to love you no nagging and are a sure thing

When I realized that women are completely uninterested in my person and that I'm nowhere near the standards (especially physical standards) that women expect of men. Some MGTOW would say that it's a blessing that I don't have to deal with women given my situation, which isn't wrong, but it can be really soul-crushing when you're blue-pilled. You see all of your friends get in relationships, buying a house and having kids and you can't figure out what the hell is wrong with you that you can't have that yourself and why every single woman is rejecting you as soon as you open your mouth. That's how incels are created.

I'm sort of a hybrid between an incel and a MGTOW, but I really dislike the black-pill line of thought and I can't stand the incel community, so I eventually found MGTOW before becoming a desperate beta provider cuffed to a fat single mother or committing suicide due to severe loneliness. You could say I was sort of forced to go my own way.

I now aspire to become what we call a monk, someone completely unaffected by thoughts of relationship, romance or love and who lives for himself and self-development alone. All things considered and knowing what I know now about female nature, I realized that I don't need a relationship with a woman to become a fulfilled individual.

Well, I’ve been “MGTOW” for 8 years now, but I only heard of the term in 2017, which is also coincidentally the last time I got laid

8 years ago my ex lied about being pregnant to hook me into staying with her. This was shortly after my mum died and I really didn’t want to see anyone. I was actively pushing her away because I wanted to break up.

So, she lies about being pregnant to get me to snap out of it and step up, but then of course, she isn’t pregnant at all. I find out. The rest is history.

After I split up with her she stalked me, contacted my family, friends and colleagues.

Never ever again.

When I realized that I couldn't fight back when girls used to beat me up in school. Boys did too, but at least I could defend myself. With the boys it was always because I was weird and didn't play sports, while with the girls it was because I had no friends and was "ugly as hell". I'm 6.1", 165, work out, eat right, and have healthy hobbies and interests that they used to judge me for just because I was trying to improve myself.

Something that made me really go mgtow was my ex. I'm not going to go into detail because I've made a lot of posts about the bitch.
