There is no way to win society's approval, unless youre a Chad, Tyrone, or basically someone who has powerful parents. When it comes to chasing women and MGTOW, damned if you do, damned if you dont.

a) If we go on a quest to look for our "ideal woman", her friends and family will shame us if we don't fit their set standards. And that's not the hard part: if we do get the girl and fit their standards, we always have to be "on guard" 24/7 to maintain the said expectations. The moment we don't reach the bar and someone better comes along, her family and friends will egg her to go dump our ass and monkey branch to someone better.

b) If we go MGTOW, sure we get shamed for "not being able to get any", "being secretly gay', "selfish", and the like but at the end of the day, at least we get to keep our resources to ourselves. At least we're not trying to jump through hoops in the name of the holy pussy.

In hindsight, MGTOW might seem like a "loser's excuse for not getting women" but when you think about it, it is actually a sensibly lifestyle. At least it is supported by a "cost-benefit analysis"/ risk-reward analysis" theory which is very crucial in making decisions.
