Hi gang. Apologies, but this a bit of a rant. Its also a bit of an observation that new Mgtows should hear, and older Mgtows can relate to.

On my lunch break today, as I'm sitting down chowing down on some Indian food, I look up and notice that seated at the table in front of me was an ex of mine. Her back was turned to me, so she didn't see me. She was looking sideways toward the ordering line, probably sitting and waiting for someone to arrive. We were together about 3 years and have been split for about that long. We were really great together, she's nerdy smart, which is hot, but we parted under stupid circumstances and probably could have worked it out.

However.. since then, I have taken the majestic red pill, doubled my income, had some seriously amazing adventures, and have been full "monk mode" for about 2 years. It has actually been many months since I had even thought about even trying to date someone living in a "singles" town. I really am in a happy place now, the master of my own future, and at peace.

So, back to the restaurant. I think about going over and talking to her: say hello, make some small talk, something about the ring on her finger, or about how she hasn't hit the wall yet. Whatever. I don't, because it hits me. And, this might relate to everyone else:

I'm not that person anymore. That part of my life is over: the games, the chasing, the bullshit. I can't go back in time, even for the sake of reliving more familiar, "happier" times. You can't be afraid of change, because it is always around us and ever present. I'm not the blue pill that I was a few years ago, and I've been so long out of "the game" that I don't think about it actively any more. I couldn't care less if I ever date again. I don't think I ever will. Even if there was a chance that she would want to date me again, suddenly leap at me with open arms, I don't think I would even want to.

That's what MGTOW is: the complete exit of the dating pool, never to return, free from being a slave to it. Once you've gone your own path, and stick to it, you'll never want to go back. Your thoughts are your own, and you free yourself from time wasted thinking about women. To go back would mean lowering yourself to that level. Your money is yours, your time is yours, and you stop thinking about the "need" for someone in your life to "share" it with, when in reality you're spending your time on someone else. This is what society tell you what you want, but you know it is false.

I dunno, but there it is. So, to new MGTOWs: know that it gets better, and you are more free every day. To older MGTOWs, I hope this affirms that your path is free and forever.
