He called me a "weirdo," "nutjob," and "radical" for being MGTOW.

​

I told him he's a sucker for spending all his hard-earned dollars on countless first dates with women. He complains about living paycheck to paycheck yet he regularly blows stacks on dates, eats out all the time, and wastes his money on anything that increases his chances of attracting women.

I told him that if these women were really worth dating, they wouldn't require him to provide free food/drinks in exchange for their consideration in evaluating him as a potential partner.

​

I went on to discuss the concept of equal responsibilities, and he claimed women have "more responsibilities" such as giving birth. Hence, they "deserve" to be paid for. They "deserve" to have the man lead the way, do all the work in bed, etc. because they give birth.

I said hypothetically speaking, if they were to give birth to a man's child, raise the kid right, be loyal and support the husband's endeavors, then yeah, MAYBE they do deserve financial/emotional support in return.

BUT, that's not how it works. I told him 80% of women initiate divorce and assume possession of an unfair amount of assets thanks to corrupt divorce costs.

His response: "maybe that's because the man was a piece of shit to her, or cheated on her."

​

I tried to conclude by saying each person is entitled to live whatever lifestyle they choose, so long as it is legal. I choose mine to achieve my personal goals, financial stability, mental health, and self development. I told him I came to this decision with simple cost benefit analysis.

​

His response: "having a woman by your side who will support you through those things would make you more successful. I'm spending all this money on dates to find mine. By paying for her, I show her I'm a real man and it's an act of good faith to earn her loyalty. Quality women are the ones who expect to be paid for."

My response: "So quality women have to be purchased? Isn't that counterintuitive? And okay, just don't complain about not owning property/having no savings in a few years because of your pursuit for a unicorn. You'll never find her, she doesn't exist. And if she does, she'll never respect a man who pays for strangers' shit upon meeting them for no reason."

​

He kept calling me "crazy" and an "ideologue."

​

I just said whatever, we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm using my time and money to invest in myself, I don't need a woman to succeed in life. Don't call me a "nut" and "weirdo" for having opinions that differ from yours.
