Being a MGTOW who has rejected relationships, marriage, and children, I have been able to save up a considerable amount of money, but a few years ago I noticed that saving up money and doing nothing with it made me feel deprived, so I allowed myself the luxury of spending only the dividends from my investments.

Over time, I notice that as my investments grew in size, my dividend payments rose as well, and I don't have anything to do with the money so I spend it mostly on eating out, coffee, clothes, and I started going to the gym.

I noticed that as I started to spend more money on clothes and fitness that other people were intuitively starting to understand the benefits of a MGTOW lifestyle. They can do the math in their head, realize that being unmarried means you save up more and have more time on your hands to go to the gym, and so you're able to buy high quality luxury products and achieve a nicer body.

I felt a desire to prove to others that MGTOW was right, so I decided to go all in and buy lots of nice clothes, etc, but I started to wonder whether I am just doing all this because deep down in my mind I am just trying to appease women.

There are many MGTOWs who speak about buying sports cars or making enormous amounts of money but never marrying. They are teasing rather than appeasing.

What are your thoughts on this? Are these people really just brainwashed, if not by women then by big business?

By buying status symbols and achieving a ripped body, are they simply seeking validation from society to make up for the shame they suffered from a society that invalidates them because of their MGTOW lifestyle choice?
