Seems to me, MGTOW people have 2 options of answering the question, " why dont you have a girlfriend" or "when are you getting married".

a) Explain that youre MGTOW. Explain what MGTOW is and why you choose to go that route.

or

b) just think of an easy-cop out excuse that will end the conversation in 1-2 seconds.

Now it's definitely a no-brainer that option B is the more practical option since option A will probably end up being a waste of time (since not everyone is aware nor open in accepting the MGTOW lifestlye).

When asked about pursuing relationships, I just go with the typical " I want to improve on myself first before I look for a woman" cop out reason. It's simple and straight to the point. Another cop out excuse would be " i don't even have the money to provide for myself"
