To start off with, I do currently have a girlfriend which adds to my life. She said she wouldn’t even mind a glass ring, she loves playing video games with me, always chilled, we never fight, and has the same general requirements for life in terms of money, housing etc. She is totally on my side regarding the inequality in most relationships. She hasn’t being raised to demand more than her fair share or to place her desires above others. It really is awesome to hang out with her and I do love her. I was and would be perfectly happy single so I don’t get why many guys I know put up with being bossed around, demeaned, controlled and pressured into expensive crap that they have to mostly pay for. I just feels really amazing to be in this situation that I am in of happy both ways.

While talking about relationships today, I realised just how happy I am to be free of the double standards MGTWW (Men going the Women’s way – is this a term?) kowtow to.

Firstly, a colleague. Someone told her about my steadfast attitude to women. Unless they add something to my life, then I dump them. She was shocked that I dumped a girl because she bought a $1.5k LV handbag (“So.. you don’t like LV?”) or that I’d dump a girl if she wanted an expensive diamond ring or for me to stop playing video games. We joked that we’d break up in just a few short hours. Yet despite a massive rock on her finger, she actually recommended I keep my girl because she would be happy with glass.

Then a friend talking about others’ and his past relationships where there was a disagreement of where to live (and get a backbreaking mortgage). I asked him if he knew any couples where there was a conflict on where to live, and the woman did not get her way. He said that those relationships don’t end well. That was my point, I said. It seems like these guys either agree to crazy demands (like living near the beach) or deal with an unhappy wife = unhappy life situation. It was the same with getting rid of hobbies or any lifestyle changes. The girls always gets her way. He just shrugged meekly (“That’s how it is”). Often the guys rationalize these surrenders (“It’ll be nice to walk the dog on the beach”, "I just grew out of video games anyway").

It’s really nice that I love my hobbies of gaming, game development, hiking, reading and travelling, (all while being frugal) and by not being willing to compromise on them, I found a girl that fits into that perfectly. She’s actually less fussed with luxuries than I am. Meanwhile, you get losers talking about how “Fighting makes our relationship stronger”, “She’s got a strong personality (hehe)” or “Can’t do X, my girl wants to spend tiem with me” (mine just wants to join or is happy to let me go).

I’m not trying to gloat as I would really be very happy single as well. Just wanting to share that MGTOW can actually lead to a good example for the blue-pill guys.
