No more friends

After a certain age, men don't have friends, we have allies and acquaintances, maybe drinking buddies. Friendship is a remnant of childhood that women have always clung to, while most men just go their own way even before MGTOW was a thing.

You have to know people in general are shitty. These friends see you as a tool, the moment you got no use you're done. Try finding people with the same hobbies as you.

Having a Y chromosome does not make them incapable of selfishness.

Nice guys finnish last. Good guys and great friends are suckers who get taken advantage of. Just like simps and cucks in beta provider relationships with women.

Real friends are gold mate. Don’t expect gold. If you have two friends, you’re a really rich man. But if you have them, then for life. And that’s not gonna happen ever with a woman. Friendship is hard to form and it’s almost always forged in the fire of crisis.

Alone is a power that many few can handle. Honestly man the smaller your friend circle, the better (even if you are the only one left in it).

It also happened to me couple of months ago. I met 2 of my high school friends after 6 years of studying and working. Both of them appear to be self called money makers and are on the route to becoming millionaires. They both kept on going about how they are making money, will buy this and that and so on. I literally stayed quiet in the back seat and didn't contribute to the conversation because I was happy with what I had and was going for. In all honesty, I was getting jealous because they appear to be coming from wealthy background but I wasn't. Anyway, after going out with them for a meal, I clearly knew that I am better of alone than any friends because they are a big distraction in my life (financially). After a few weeks, one of them calls me asking for some money (£300) because his payments were stuck. Pathetic people...

So my advice would be to focus on yourself and goals. It can get lonely because you've no-one around you but this gives you a clear opportunity to self develop yourself. Trust me when I say this, once you become a successful men, you'll have a aura around you that will force people to crave for your attention. Even then you should be alone unless you find a fellow MGTOWer to go along with you.

you have to understand that most of these men where raise by woman they don't understand what friendship means start ghosting them and one of the most important lesson my father told me was never to trust some one 100%

Its tough man. But men who are true friends are friends for life. Trust me. There are definitely bros that are A1.

Had something similar happen to me kodechamp. Perhaps my experience can help you.

I dropped three of my closest friends I had known since junior high because I finally realized I wasn’t really their friend. One guy kept dancing between girlfriends and I called him out for being a pussy whipped simp, and one of the other guys didn’t like it. I shared some mgtow videos and beliefs with this particular person, not to mention my own experiences with women, and it had little effect. Some guys can’t be helped or taught, they have to learn on their own.

What you must learn is that personal growth is filled with constant obstacles that include both pain and pleasure. Enduring the pain is the key, but over time you won’t feel it as much, you’ll be inoculated to some degree. Take pleasure in the fact that YOU have moved on, YOU have grown, and YOU are a better person for doing so.

The guys I knew had little experience with women. I had quite a bit. Two of those guys were virgins. In the end, I decided that it was time to move on and grow. The biggest lesson I learned was that sometimes your closest friends can be as toxic as a girlfriend. They make you spend money you don’t want to, take you places you don’t want to go, and make you feel lonelier for being around them. I love myself, I love spending and investing my money on me, and I love going places alone. Yet I still love interacting with people, hearing what they have to say, and having a drink in their company. But those experiences are from the journey. Just because you walk alone doesn’t mean you’ll always be that way.

Hang tough and live it up kodechamp.

I don't have a friend who's truly mgtow. Several aware but stuck in cuck. We'll do what we do and enjoy the socialization but I prefer my kids

Every single person in the world is out for themselves brother. Realize that but don't let it make you bitter. It is what it is. You're your own best company.

There are 2 categories of friends:

1) friends that have a positive influence on your life

by definition, they are around enough to be an influence, usually they have 'time' to actually be a 'friend'. friends are great. motorcycles, bullshitting at the bar, having a general 'good time'.

2) friends that don't

They are not a good influence on you in any way so it's best to limit interaction with them. Sometimes it's worth it to keep them as 'friends', sometimes it's not. Either way, it's not like you have to ghost them or worry about it, usually their significant other will have taken care of that already. :)

You just have to realize and re-evaluate these friendships as people get married and have kids or get in relationships with un-cool GFs. Keep them in category 2 when they get controlled too much or become negative or tear you down.

Personally, I've noticed my true friends are very supportive of *whatever I happen to be doing. They truly enjoy seeing me happy and it's nice to be around them and support them as well. A good friend like this is like family to me.
