In 2 years I will be 40. For the first time in my adult life, I can honestly say I’m happy. Through a lot of work, patience and tough decisions, I am living comfortably. My job is solid. My apartment is nice. I have plenty of free time and disposable income. I have a great group of family and friends. No wife or gf or kids. Just the way I like it. I think I have been mgtow all my life, even when I was chasing girls in my younger years. Ultimately, it never felt worth it. I am a lot happier at home messing around with my hobbies than I ever was going to clubs and parties trying to get laid. Like most men, I am just fine on my own.
And that’s the problem with MGTOW.
See, it makes no difference to me if I live this way the rest of my life. I will generally be happy and comfortable because I don’t need much. Good food. A good book. A few beers and a joint. No drama. No toxic people. No lies. I am not under the assumption that one person checking out is going to doom society. But a thousand guys like me? A million? Now you have a problem. Because these men aren’t building cities. Curing cancer. Raising sons.
And nobody else can.
Feminism has taken away the role of the father and replaced it with conformity, consumerism and instant gratification media. There are no rewards for men who work hard and sacrifice, beyond simple rewards anyway. These days, the less a man participates in modern society, the happier he is likely to be. Like me.
But for the entire history of our species, men where engineered to be builders and protecters. In fact, men who did not participate found themselves exiled from the tribe. The same was true for women. A woman who was noisy and complaining and didn’t contribute would wake up one morning to find the tribe had abandoned her to die alone in the wilderness.
Today, my tax dollars prevent women from experiencing the consequences of their own poor choices while at the same time pay for the prisons that ensure that men still do. More and more men are waking up to this. Do just enough to provide for yourself and you can live happy and make your own choices.
I won’t be back. Guys like me aren’t coming back. It isn’t worth it. And the world will pay a price for it.
The problem with MGTOW isn't that men are unhappy alone. The problem is the vacuum we have be forced to leave behind.
spez: and for the record, I'm no incel or virgin or misogynist. Quite the opposite in fact. I love women and I enjoy sex. I am just not prepared to sacrifice my happiness for the sake of a broken system.

please don't! he built a fence (stealing more than half of the funds in the process) yet he let a literal terrorist (pharaon) just because he was rich. what's more, he's so anti-globalism in rhetoric but has signed CETA without resistance...

Cue MGTOW
Oh noes... Missy Scarlett gonna be hav'n problems, Missy Scarlett's slaves all dun been run off. How Miss Scarlett gonna git her cotton picked? An if'n ain't no slave menz to pick her cotton fer her, how she gone make money wat to pay fer to keep & fix up her menshun... Lordy be... 'Tara' gone end up wun o dem abandondeded roons!
Seriously dude, that's what this comes off as... some "call" to OTHER MEN for them to go back to the fucking plantation... to save all the Missy Scarlett's of the world (from themselves).
Fuck that.
See there's a shitload of problems with your entire base questions, especially this:
Who says we need (or want) more/bigger "cities"? Just how many fucking "McMansions" are you planning on slaving over to build for "Miss Scarlett"? (Only to have her kick your ass to the curb with the assistance of the please-men & their guns.) The bitch has two hands and two legs -- and she's an "modern, independent career women, who don't NEED no man" -- so [let her build her OWN fucking "mansion.]"](http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/12/28/article-0-1679CFA4000005DC-202_634x455.jpg)
What makes you think there even IS a "cure for cancer"? Or that developing it would somehow be (long term, overall) a GOOD thing? Seriously -- despite the bloviating bullshit from the Silicon-Valley pill-poppers -- NO ONE is gonna live forever... nor if they had a "clue" would they even want to. (Suggest you go visit a Nursing home.)
The state and women don't WANT men to be "raising sons" -- in fact they've actively PREVENTED that for well over a century -- and are now via various means taking possession of what few "sons" there are, and are trying to emasculate and in some cases even "castrate" them, convince them to be "gurls" -- Try to disagree, try to KEEP your sons to be raised into REAL MEN (by you and you alone especially against the "will" of the baby-momma), and other men WILL show up at your door with guns and handcuffs... Fight them if you want, even kill a couple... in the end THEY will win.
--
You think it somehow SHOULDN'T???
White Knighting on a GRAND scale.

And you will doubtless be downvoted for expressing that.
-- Whiny twats tend to bitch about EVERYTHING.
Write ANY long comment or main thread and they whinge, bitch & moan about "wall of text" (even though that "complaint" is really only applicable to things that DON'T have paragraph breaks and other formatting elements that "aid the eye").
Add formatting -- lines, bolding & italics and other things -- all of which not only emphasize points, but provide "anchors" for the eye to read, especially when the base "formating" (online fonts, line spacing, lack of indents, etc) is abysmal (as it most definitely is with Reddit)... and they whinge & bitch & moan about that.
-- And of course it's much worse than that: use some term or phrase they're not familiar with and -- despite having the easiest and most powerful "lookup" system humanity has ever known or had access to (literally a "lift a finger" level of effortlessness) -- they'll whinge & bitch & moan.
Explain what such things mean (or when they have multiple meanings, how you are using them, applying them) in some parenthetical or footnote -- and they will whinge & bitch & moan about the text is "too complex"*, and/or how you're being "to wordy" and "pedantic" and even "condescending" or "arrogant" or "obtuse" (LOL).
DARE, as I just did above to place words in quotation marks... and they'll whinge & bitch & moan about that too.
-- Plain fact of the matter is that said "whiney twats" are pragmatically/functionally ILLITERATE; and intellectually, dispositionally, they are nearly all "lazy, entitled little 'special' snowflakes." They've been so coddled and indulged and pandered to (also "controlled by" though they mostly DON'T get that) for so long that they sincerely think they can DEMAND just about anything, and that people will RUSH to kiss (rim) their buttholes as a result.
What most of them NEED of course... is a good swift KICK to said "butt."
They need to realize that other people are NOT their fucking "servants" ... and telling them to "fuck off" when they whinge & bitch & moan is one part of that.
-- Also, of course... I really Don't Give a Flying Fuck about anything the little "snowflakes" have to say.
* Even though the level/degree of "complexity" is trivial; its a matter of subjective experience -- people who are used to 140 character "tweets" (or even fewer character/word "meme" pics) -- will likely view anything longer as "complex."

-- There also never will be "A" [singular, silver bullet] "cure" for "cancer" because "cancer" is itself not a single monolithic disease...
-- The word is just a general descriptive term for an uncontrolled/abnormal growth of cells, with any number of different causes, including many and various different infections -- viral, bacterial, and parasitic. (Technically speaking common "warts" {verruca vulgaris} as "abnormal" growths of skin cells ARE in fact a form of "cancer" -- a perfectly benign form of "tumor" {caused by any of several types of Human Papiloma Viruses} that the body's immune system generally "clears" on its own, and which almost never metasize nor become malignant {i.e. spread/grow unchecked elsewhere in the body} -- people just don't use the "C" or "T" words to describe warts because those are *scary* words.)
-- Ironically, as far as "curing" cancer -- or more appropriately preventing the spread of infections that are known to CAUSE cancer...
Well, feminism -- and the resulting "free for all" of sexual hypergamy, which enables & facilitates the spread of all kinds of sexual & "intimate contact" diseases/infections (many of which are KNOWN to be "oncoviruses" or oncogenic viruses; that is "cancer causing") -- is quite literally a PRIMARY cause. Likewise with any and all systems that throw large numbers of people into regular, random & chaotic, "close contact" with each other -- such as the "socialistic" compulsory public schooling system, etc.
-- Ergo -- if you comprehend what is actually going on with the spread of the infectious causes -- it's really NOT much of a stretch to state that (factually) feminism AND socialism are "cancerous."
But of course... that doesn't fit "the narrative" -- so it's a taboo subject which cannot be discussed.

-- There are a shitload of things (i.e. "treatments") that are claimed to "kinda" (and "sorta") being "cures" for cancer.
-- But a "kinda" (sorta) "cure" really isn't one.
-- Again (as I noted in another comment) the chief problem is really one of "colloquial" misleading "definition" -- there is no singular "disease" named "cancer" -- thus there is not (nor will there be) a singular "silver bullet" cure.
[–]CadeyrnDragheim0 points1 point2 points (3 children) | Copy Link

IOW you're entirely clueless as to what the word "cure" actually means.
Also, the array of almost entirely bogus snake oil "cures/treatments" for cancer -- both mainstream medicine AND "alternative" naturopathic, etc -- are endless... and unlikely to ever disappear.
-- In part because cancer is a "long fuse" result -- more of a chronic (and somewhat arbitrary/random) "risk factor" rather than an acute and easily/directly comprehended "cause-effect" scenario -- plain fact of the matter is that virtually everyone ends up with an entire array of "cancerous growths" ni various parts of their body, and across their entire lifetime (most are simply so small {tiny} and relatively benign, that they are NOT debilitating, NOT likely to be fatal, and virtually undetectable*).
It looks like usually the body's immune system is able to "clear" such, and that it probably does so on a regular basis (much like small "cuts" heal on their own) thus if an when such things ARE detected (again see *) and are then left alone they quite commonly "disappear" -- ergo they are labeled as "spontaneous remission" (a ridiculous statement since it likely isn't "spontaneous" at all -- neither in origin nor in remission -- the origin is almost certainly "infection" related {and most likely "viral" disruption}, and the remission is a normal bodily function, just one that the medical profession does NOT understand).
-- * Something that is happening much more often, because the resolution of "detection" methods (CT scans, etc) has grown more refined, and he use of such things become much more common (along with a sort of pervasive -- if fallacious -- belief that "early detection" is key), so many such things that would previously have gone "unnoticed" are being "accidentally/coincidentally" discovered while the patient is being treated for something else (or even just generally "examined" with no underlying complaint): there is even a term for such trivial "tumors" they're called "incidentalomas" -- and the vast majority of them simply go "poof" in fairly short order.

totally with you, but when i got here i got confused:
"Today, my tax dollars prevent women from experiencing the consequences of their own poor choices while at the same time pay for the prisons that ensure that men still do. "
sorry, what's that mean? Like we pay for them to not be in jail or something?
