I personally never bother with relationships or dating. I only masturbate to porn and every now and then I walk into a registered brothel, give a fake name, and pay with cash. I cannot fathom how men can take risks with relationships given how easy it is for a woman to falsely accuse a man of rape or to spermjack him or sabotage the condom so that she can enslave the man with a child thereby guaranteeing passive income in the form of alimony and child maintenance fees. A safe and prosperous life of MGTOW filled with freedom involves abstaining from women and going monk mode interspresed with moments of masturbation or visiting sex workers in order to relieve sexual desire if that desire becomes too intense. Channel your sexual energy instead into bettering yourself and giving yourself more freedom. Minimize debt and lower your obligations to others. You owe nothing to no one but yourself.
