Who else is happy being single?

IslandicFreedom · 2017-08-21T23:33:37+00:00

You can appreciate being alone after you've been married.

You get married for companionship but how many times do you end up doing only what she wants to do?

And now you're obligated to do her shit.

Being alone offers freedom you'll never get anywhere else. The pure freedom levels (especially if you don't have kids) is unbelievable.

fritzcat42 · 2017-08-21T23:48:18+00:00

For the longest time I couldn't reach this state, but after losing my virginity and realizing how little a relationship had to offer and how much maintenance it was, I've been a lot happier recently.

PizzaFaceGuy · 2017-08-21T23:17:13+00:00

Fuck yeah dude.

thoriumpoweredwatch · 2017-08-22T03:10:18+00:00

Never had a girlfriend and I was sad about it. Then I looked at my bank account and what other people had to go through just for some a diseased hole. And then I realized I was being a complete idiot.

Single is the way to live no matter how many people tell me about how I will meet "the one". It is both amusing and shocking how much they will believe these delusions.

nofilmynofucky · 2017-08-22T03:04:31+00:00

I started blue pill, unplugged, spent a while fucking a fair amount of girls, eventually became disinterested as they don't really have much to offer in this modern world and now I'm flirting with MGTOW/volceldom/endless monk mode.

Being single fucking rules. I don't see any reason to pursue a relationship again. 33 years old.

lonewolf-chicago · 2017-08-21T23:13:47+00:00

Me me me

realChebz · 2017-08-22T03:21:35+00:00

I dont understand man who are depressed and act pathetic because they are "alone" (like forever alone types).

Had a few girlfriends and there was some fun but overall there was always a good amount of drama involved that annoyed me.

Imagine you've never had a gf. And every attempt at picking one ended in a rejection. Is it clear why?

Humans are social creatures. We require validation, intimacy, and love (from other human beings, not dogs). Some men went through their entire lives never experiencing any of that. Simply some jock telling them that "chicks are annoying" aren't going to change their lust to experience a relationship.

whatwasthatcat · 2017-08-22T00:49:32+00:00

I have never been with a girl nor had sex. I have always been depressed and romanticized relationships. I don't really care anymore, however, like everything else in life, I still want to experience it at least once, even though I know it will be overrated. Also, I know most girls are bitches, but I am tired of thinking/analyzing, I just want to experience for once. Neuroscientists say touching other humans and being touched is good for your health, it doesn't matter if she is a bitch or not, you just gotta delude yourself sometimes to an extent, otherwise you will be filled with hate and frustration and you will go crazy. That is just human nature. Remember when you were a kid and you wanted that toy and got bored with it after a day? Well if you never got the toy you would never know/you would still crave it. So it is unfair for guys here who have been married for years and had sex for 20 years to come and tell the younger ones "ah it is overrated you need to go your whole life without sex or a girlfriend." Yea, doesn't work that way. One thing that's for sure though is that marriage is out of the question.

CynicalSoup · 2017-08-22T04:19:59+00:00

No wife

No kids

No problems

dmunny44 · 2017-08-21T23:54:11+00:00

They treat women and sex like the greatest thing ever.

Probably because they've never had it

Kingw3 · 2017-08-22T02:48:36+00:00

Bro I'm in a college with a 3:1 ratio of women. I'm not even looking at them. I talk to my roommates who are the only ones I care about.

greyray · 2017-08-21T23:41:22+00:00

Moi. Avoid women..keep semen..don't ejaculate... become fearless primate. The world needs more fearless primates.

drogosan · 2017-08-22T03:42:52+00:00

Every time the possibility of a relationship comes up, I ask myself "do I want the drama as well?"

No. Just no.

Living my life without the need to prove myself = peace.

Original_Username7 · 2017-08-22T04:09:59+00:00

Ah, the benefits of being solo ("alone" is a bullshit word invented by women). I never truly realized how much I actually LOVED being solo! I was just always so paralyzed by the FEAR of being ALONE, rather than realizing being solo wasn't the problem, but rather just the socially instilled fear of it.

Like other commenters, it wasn't until after marriage that I realized that I was sold a bill of goods. I married the PERFECT girl, sweet, submissive, respectful, GORGEOUS, best friend, loved having sex, everything. I'd thought I'd died and gone to heaven and I worshiped the socks off of her/us.

But she changed VERY soon after we got married and ended up changing the MOST after we had our daughter (she thought she had me locked in then). She immediately changed and became a bossy bitch who was showing me who the boss is now. She left to try to teach me who was in charge (after I tried to put my foot down for once), but she realized that she didn't even like marriage, could have her parents raise our daughter, could make me pay child support, and run off with her friends and go back to school, so she did.

It nearly destroyed me when all of this happened, but one of the things I found as I got over her and let go of this brainwashed image of what I was "supposed" to be and who I was "supposed" to be with, was, dang... I kind like not having to deal with all of her/female shit now! Dang, I can do all the things I was giving up before to be with her! Dang, if ever I get lonely or horny, all I gotta do to get right back to being happy solo again is wack off (biggest life hack ever). Honestly, our sex was good, but wacking off to hot internet babes is pretty comparable to the sex, oftentimes better, and it's DEFINITELY better when you realize how much time, money and hassle you're saving!

I have WAY more friends and a WAY better social life now being solo than I EVER did with her! I pretty much HATED her friends, and it eventually became only them that we got to hang out with anyway. Now, I even hang with couples and have a great time being the third wheel. In fact, it's always nice to be the third wheel with couples because you see how miserable the guys are. No joke, almost ALL of the men I know are MISERABLE with their wives (some even suicidally). I can only think of 1, maybe two guys who SEEM (from the outside) to have a good marriage, but they're so busy killing themselves trying to be redpill and keep everything together, it just doesn't seem worth it to me. They have to keep doing this the rest of their lives, and if they slip up once, they're FUCKED! If that's what it takes, practically killing yourself to always be on top/game, I don't have the energy for that. And the risks definitely don't seem worth it. I've never met a woman I was interested in enough for that.

Oh yeah, one other thing I'll say... Being a single dad on an every other weekend schedule freaking rocks! I love my daughter to death (but I wouldn't know what I was missing if I never had kids), and before, the ex always ran the show and told me how I had to interact with my daughter... not anymore! I raise her however I see fit and the ex can't do shit about it! And she HATES the fact that my daughter is super well-behaved with me and is a nightmare for her! She can't believe it and is always trying to explain it away. I get 3 days of super-focused quality time with my daughter, having lots of fun and enjoying each other, and right around the time I get tired and can feel the desire to do my own thing again, she goes right back to her mom! I actually think things have, surprisingly, worked out pretty ideal for me.

Remember guys: the pursuit of a woman is exhilarating, the attainment of a woman is satiating, and the maintaining of a woman is excruciating.

chasingsnow · 2017-08-22T05:40:25+00:00

because most mgtows are not incels or virgin. most mgtows are guys that had ENOUGH of women, and value being alone the most. This poses a problem, because guys that are virgin and incels have a harder time going mgtow because they are one blowjob away from the plantation. They are not sure of mgtow philosofies because they have little experience with women. So to a certain extent they are always thinking what if...

Onkel_Adolf · 2017-08-22T04:27:14+00:00

Got divorced last year..I LOVE the peace and quiet!

vvienna · 2017-08-21T23:40:00+00:00

I like being single but I feel like if I tell that to my coworkers and family they will think im strange, especially my coworkers who have tried to dig into my personal life. don't really care though I just keep it to myself

s0ma_ · 2017-08-22T03:02:30+00:00

no no. we are all unhappy basement-dwelling-neckbeards; shush!

Jonlife · 2017-08-22T10:45:26+00:00

Best thing ever. I've never even been close to being married but I've seen my friends and family deal with that mess. Society in general shames the fuck out of good looking guys who have their shit together and don't want to settle down with women. And to all you lurkers in here... No, mgtow isn't just guys who are divorced or bitter that they got screwed over by the family courts. There's plenty of mgtow who've been laughing all the way to the bank since day one.

This is why giving zero fucks works every time. Make your money, maintain good health and watch your investments grow.

I also love how women will try and flip it on you saying that you can't find a woman good enough to marry because you're not man enough or some bullshit. As if that had anything to do with being a man. Next they'll be saying that we're not men unless we let our tax dollars go towards subsidizing their abortions and medical costs. Fuck em

mgtownigga · 2017-08-22T03:21:27+00:00

the forever alone types never experienced any of it, from what I can tell. not hard to imagine what that's like.

EldritchSaffroN · 2017-08-21T23:55:36+00:00

It took me a while to climbatise to it. But yeah now that I've adapted, It would take a NAWALT to make me go back.

And I would drop her as soon as she was no longer worth the time.

Oh and never ever getting married.

MiGTOWing · 2017-08-21T23:31:10+00:00

Me.

hizek · 2017-08-22T00:54:57+00:00

raise his hand

asillynert · 2017-08-22T04:23:03+00:00

Honestly datings so stressful is today significant I know I had a shitty day but I need to comfort her tell her how great she is. Did I call to just call did I fail to read her mind. Worst yet is when you dont "get some nookie" you get in trouble for doing it yourself.

So many god damn ways to get in trouble but as single I want x to eat tonight no bitching. I log into bank account oh its exactly how I left it. I get aroused by movie or something can take care of it no debate. No pressure to spend money or do things because shes bored.

LeykisP1 · 2017-08-22T05:52:58+00:00

I was married for 12 years. By the end I used to dread going home. It was a sexless and loveless life after she'd had the children. Just endless nagging, chores and responsibility. Plus, while I worked unbelievably hard to earn money that all got spent on everyone except me, she had an affair with another man. After I got divorced I never felt any desire to go through that again and here I am 10 years later still single, with no nagging crazy bitch in my life to ruin everything.

calibanister · 2017-08-22T06:01:02+00:00

i enjoy being alone. i thought the foreveralone sub was all about that, but i quickly realized it wasn't.

Crovex250 · 2017-08-22T06:56:00+00:00

What ultimately dawned on me after a few years into my MGTOW life style was how much less drama I had to endure. Occasionally I run into a little bit at work, but by and large once you go MGTOW you just don't get stuck dealing with an endless supply of absolute nonsense.

gantz_au · 2017-08-22T09:26:50+00:00

Being single is SO good.

I've worked very hard to ensure that I've gotten a good education, a career that I enjoy, and have all the time and money in the world to do everything that I enjoy doing.

I've earned my freedom and nothing will convince me to give that up.

EMPIRE_OF_THE_CLOUDS · 2017-08-22T09:43:43+00:00

Have plenty of cash, lots of fun hobbies, and no woman around to take it all away from me or tell me "No." Life is fucking great.

rooman82 · 2017-08-22T10:07:47+00:00

34 years old, had three long-term relationshits in my life, lived with two of them. Could never get a relationship to develop further because I've always refused to be a wage-slave simp. Discovered MGTOW three years ago, it resonated with a lot of what I was already thinking, haven't looked back since.

Slaide · 2017-08-22T19:02:47+00:00

I eat what I want.

I spend my money how I want to.

I don't have to deal with drama.

I don't have to worry about spending money on a cunt only for her to get fucked by every men in a 500 mile radius.

I go to the gym when I want and take as long as I feel like.

I wake up when I want.

I don't have to listen to some bitch whining that I spent a hundred dollars on a pair of running shoes which will last me 3 months of intense use only for her to turn around and buy 500$ on shoes and clothing she'll wear maybe once.

No chances of being falsely accused of rape/harassment/being thrown out of my house just because women have this incredible ability to turn on the waterworks over the smallest shit.

I actually know how to cook, do laundry, fix shit, do anything I need. Why spend money on a modern woman who's only actual contribution in a relationship is spreading her legs? If I want an intelligent conversation, I have males bros and male cousins for that. Why waste time trying to speak to some vapid land whale who's gonna spend half her day on her phone?

Most modern women are so fucking lazy that the majority of them (in NA at least) become overweight, ugly, annoying, hairy, ugly cunts by the age of 30.

Yes, I am happy being single. The problem is that people in relationships trade a SHIT LOAD of stress and problems for some momentary filaments of happiness.

Silver-Noxx · 2017-08-22T04:18:00+00:00

I'm content. I love my space and living how I want to live. I hate being controlled. I want to be free and love freedom. Women don't let you have that. It's like they hate it when you enjoy anything and love to take away your freedom.

The relationships I've been in have been massive drama. I'm so easy going, friendly, and logical but somehow women find a way to just make everything completely insane. They create problems and trouble out of thin air. Their emotions are just nuts.

Of course you always think it would be nice once in a while to have companionship, but you can't without all the other nasty mess of crap that is wrapped up in women. When I think of being trapped in that it freaks me out so much. I guess it's nice to have had those experiences because it makes you truly appreciate being alone and having control of your entire life. Not controlled by someone else who has the emotions a child.

I did have one girl a couple years back that used to drive out from the city to see me once in a while. Easy to get along with (for now). But then she went off the deep end on some dating site and started dating tons of men, had like 4 boyfriends at ounce and asked me to be the 5th. I'm like....uh no thanks. Then she ditched all them when she had it out of her system and found just one dude. Then guess what, she was totally lame to me after that. I told her off for being crappy to toward me and that was that.

There were a bunch others very short term. But they ALL do the AWALT. All of them! Just different aspects of it in different degrees. But if you know what to look for you see it always there.

So it's a huge load off your mind never thinking of them at all and enjoying all my free time, my no stress, and all my freedom.

awesomesauceitch · 2017-08-22T05:35:54+00:00

My most recent relationship was about 5 years and it was horrible.

There once was an 8 year stretch where I was single and didn't hookup with anyone. Pretty much the best years of my life. I'm going to go back to that lifestyle.

happpster · 2017-08-21T23:30:20+00:00

I've been single for most of my life. I've few online flings years ago and one short lived relationship in middle school. I'm 19 now. I think being single is best for for young adults these days. It gives you time to focus on yourself.

fickle_fuck · 2017-08-22T13:49:46+00:00

Just because I'm alone doesn't mean I'm lonely. I love the freedom of living alone doing what I want when I want.

cashmoney_x · 2017-08-22T16:09:45+00:00

I was married once. Lived with another chick. House was full of stuff, plus endless complaints and rollercoaster emotions.

My "empty" house is filled with happiness, quiet and options. Been 5 years now and there's absolutely no way I'd EVER move another woman in. EVER.

solaceFromSolitude · 2017-08-22T17:21:49+00:00

I am generally very happy to be single. Every now and then I meet a woman, either online or in real life. I very rarely go on dates and when I do it is just to pump and dump. I am pretty straight forward about it. I do not want to have to lie about my intentions. I have also offered women money for sex. Straight up. Some are insulted, others consider it and say no. Some feel okay with it and agree. Others have always wanted to get paid for sex but were simply too shy about it. It does not hurt to ask. You have nothing to lose anyways.

Just last week I met a woman. 35. Quite good looking. Skinny. Of Eastern-European origin. I told her I do not intend to ever marry. She felt insulted but somehow thought she could convince me. I asked her what she could contribute to my life. She did not have any real answers. She was very straight forward about needing my resources so that I could have a "real woman". Whatever the hell that means... Anyways. We ended up fucking and that was that. She did feel like a real woman, that's for sure!

Today I went to lunch with a 40 year old. Skinny. Lovely face. I kept dropping red pills to test the waters mostly in response to her typical questions. It took an hour of my time and only little financial investment. I think after an evening date I could probably fuck her.

I think in general it is okay to have such simple encounters, but I would never proceed to the point of cohabitation. I am very done with cohabitation. My house is my house. Most of these women do not even know where I live, which I think is mostly a good thing.

Afab67 · 2017-08-22T19:25:01+00:00

Now that I've been married for 7 years and divorced for 4 years and date-free, I can honestly tell you my life has never been better. I am so much happier now I can hardly believe it. It took a while to get over it all and get things sorted out (like, what the hell was those 7 years all about??), but now that I have, I am truly enjoying my life.

Marque01 · 2017-08-22T19:38:57+00:00

I had to live with 2 women before I realized how great being alone was :) Sometimes you have to get burned to know not to touch fire.

As for sex, move to a big city (or visit), go flipping through the city's escort website, pick out the hottest, sexiest bitch you can find, order her, fuck her.

Once you've got that monkey off your back, wtf is a 'plain Jane' going to be able to do to you? :)

It's liberating.

Alphareboot · 2017-08-22T06:04:58+00:00

Had two 4 year relationships in my life, like mini marriages. I can't imagine going back.

The last serious one was about five years ago now. Even semi serious girls want to monopolise all your time and have you running round after them. Fuck that shit.

Now, on my own, I have the freedom to try new things. If they fail, and law of averages says that will happen, I just lost my own time.

If one works out like gangbusters, I'll know it could never have happened when I was stuck on the hamster wheel.

Zombocom1911 · 2017-08-22T01:05:42+00:00

but overall there was always a good amount of drama involved that annoyed me. Constantly trying to appease them, wasting money and time, bitchy attitudes etc.

exactly.

randomroxks · 2017-08-22T01:07:33+00:00

squidracer · 2017-08-22T04:53:30+00:00

IDK if I'm happy being single, but I know I was miserable in relationships

serenity_now_man · 2017-08-22T05:01:26+00:00

I know I would be happy if I was single :-P

Alternative-MGTOW · 2017-08-22T08:38:34+00:00

Happy being single yes, not happy about never getting to experience sex. Also what helps with the loneliness is that the chads pay for my welfare.

2017-08-22T11:13:15+00:00

My brother is the typical family man stereotype. He's married with 2 kids and has one on the way. He cannot even come to visit me without his wife wanting to check up on him every few hours. He's constantly on the phone replying to her messages.

I look at his life and i am so happy that i didn't follow that path of getting married and having kids.

His wife is so lazy and the house is always in a mess whilst my brother has to work hard. A few weeks ago he told my mum that if he had somewhere else to go he would. I really feel sorry for him but i guess he's made that reality for himself and now has to live with it.

solaceFromSolitude · 2017-08-22T11:13:52+00:00

The downside is that I don't earn much to pay for escorts 1-2 times a week. In fact, I don't do anything anymore and I'm a monk. But sometimes it would help. I am depressed and pathetic because I'm "alone" in the sense of no friends, but this has nothing to do with women.

JStheHammer · 2017-08-22T11:15:44+00:00

I find dating/ being in a relation draining after the first 3 months

Shimakaze4 · 2017-08-22T11:28:56+00:00

Sometimes I think it would be nice to have someone to cuddle up to at night, but then I just get some HD porn have a wank and I'm asleep in no time at all.

WhistlingAlong · 2017-08-22T11:32:02+00:00

It's definitely a unique lifestyle for the most apex and resilient individuals.

happyhumblehermit · 2017-08-22T12:25:35+00:00

I've been keeping myself super busy so whenever I spend time with a girl I always feel like I've wasted time that could have been better spent.

Urishima · 2017-08-22T14:33:53+00:00

Neither happy nor unhappy.

cleats4u · 2017-08-22T14:47:58+00:00

I was thinking about relationships. It's never just her that your getting. There is all her family and friends. All of whom must like you or they will be encouraging her to move on "be happy". It's open character assassination day in and day out until the day she leaves. Looking back...it's a fucking nightmare. One that I paid for with cash, time and labor. Every day is paradise away from that.

AR96 · 2017-08-22T18:15:44+00:00

It's 50/50 for me tbh. I got a very high sex drive and jerking it all the time gets kinda boring. Sometimes I use tinder for some pumping

Helikzhan · 2017-08-22T18:50:41+00:00

Right here. Been single for over a decade and don't regret it one bit. Finances are currently becoming less of a mess but home life is divine. Nothing to argue or contend with. Just me, my dogs and my luxuries.

What I really want is more time in the day. That's where I am right now.

Falfurin · 2017-08-23T00:29:50+00:00

Bloody oath mate, being single is way better than relationships. The freedom is unfathomable. It's hilarious when some married cuck tries to make fun of you by saying how lonely you must be. I always reply with "well if I want to do something, I do it" no time to be answering to some woman.

plutosheen · 2017-08-23T05:07:34+00:00

Me!!!!! I'm fucking ecstatic to be single!! Free time, more money, no nagging!!!

nepomuk167 · 2017-08-23T11:45:15+00:00

I lived with my ex together for about 2 years. I can honestly say the best moment of any day was when she'd get up before me, left the house and closed the door behind her. That feeling of relieve, of peace and quiteness was awesome.

retraderat · 2017-08-23T13:14:16+00:00

It was nice seeing this sub reach 30,000 but holy shit there is so much blue pill pussy thirsting here now.

Dank_Meems · 2017-08-23T20:50:50+00:00

It's rad, but tough sometimes. The thing that really keeps me going when I start thinking about relationships is it's always nice in your head, but when you actually date these broads, it's a different story.

Jack_Storm · 2017-08-24T06:52:48+00:00

I cant imagine giving up my freedom and single life. I've grown so accustomed to it and my come and go mindset that I can not imagine giving that up for any female. Also looking at my friends and seeing all the stuff they have to go thru like giving up hobbies or selling off things they like/collected to appease cupcake. I will just let everyone think it's something wrong with me.

and_00 · 2017-08-22T04:12:26+00:00

Being single is good when you're young. But sometimes I think about the senescence, who's gonna take care of me?
