yesterday my best friend confirmed he's indeed going to get married to his girl, after only 5 months of dating.
in this time i've slowly and indirectly tried to drop as much MGTOW theory on him as possible but to no avail. he will be my last great best friend who will get married. every other bro has left my life and the few times i meet them, are full of sadness.
This guy has always been a kind of blue pill romantic, but as he's gotten older, he has improved alot, his looks, his health, plus he has tons of experience with prostitutes so he knows women's nature, but every time a girl is into him, he just gets such a confidence boost because i think deep down he doesn't have much confidence and feels he's a failure so anyone that would "love him" truly is worth it.
its hard. i don't like her that much. he tells me things about her that just signal red flags. she's a super insecure overly attached GF type. he tells me she HAS TO compliment her beauty when they meet, if he doesn't compliment her she asks why and gets mad at him for days. during sex he has to look her in the eyes and say he loves her many times, if not, she gets mad. he loves sitcoms, she hates sitcoms. i asked what they do after fucking, what do they watch and he says they just talk all night. I think that's nice they have a good friendship and can talk on end for hours, but I also know that ends, we get older and no matter who we're close to, need other things to share in besides being able to talk on end. he has no job, and says he hopes to be a house husband. Granted, i can't blame him for hoping well with this girl when she works and he has no savings, but i know that'll naturally put her in the masculine energy of the relationship, he'll become the abused wife at home who she berates with mean shit because he can't grow a spine.
i told him he should send her overly attached girlfriend memes as a joke, but he said he could never do that, because she's too sensitive, to which i replied, how can you two be best friends and not joke about things you know are true. everything is a safety step with her, do this or that so she doesn't cry or get upset. I hope the best for him, but i know once she hits the wall (she's 25 and its approaching fast)....that things will fall apart since now the entire relationship is based on intimate sex.
.........i love my bros. i always put their relationships as things i'd never compromise for my gf's or lovers (before I was MGTOW). but they are all gone now. i'm only 34 and all 5 of my best friends in life have gone blue pill and become sad slaves stepping on egg shells to not upset their overly sensitive childish woman.
sorry, just a random rant, but feeling emotional today. MGTOW isn't just about letting go of women, but everyone, knowing you cannot trust anyone but yourself, even great and strong men who are your friends, that's a hard reality to swallow when so many are willing to give into their sensitive creatures crazy demands just to prevent another bickering argument.

man it drives me crazy when people who have slept with escorts still can't figure it out. You'd think otherwise, right?
imo a lot of people who won't quit a questionable relationship has gotten themselves trapped in some sunk cost nonsense. Your best friend could easily walk away - maybe not go full mgtow but if he's in a relationship with somebody where he's already on eggshells, getting in marriage with the same person will rid him of all of his remaining freedom. He won't even be walking on eggshells - he'll be asking permission for every little thing
But alas, you can't save some people.

other than the general respect I give people who earn it, the only way I can say "respect" and "women" in the same sentence is the same way I would say "respect" and "wild bear" in the same sentence.
If a person has had enough experience with women to know better and still want to play russian roulette, that's the "you can't save some people" i am talking about.
You aren't going to rationalize him out of his predicament. He will employ all manner of confirmation bias and self-fulfilling prophecy to ensure that he ends up a beta buck cuck.
However: I have found some success in attacking a person's belief from multiple angles.
