Do the people in your life or your coworkers know you're a MGHOW?

First rule. Never talk about mgtow.

scorched_throwaway · 2016-08-23T04:01:25+00:00

Rule #1 of negotiation: never talk in negatives. Don't say you're "against" marriage, relationships, or any other blue pill thing. You're single because you have other, better opportunities to pursue. Define yourself by the things you do, not by the things you don't do.

The MGTOW community seems to be split into 2 distinct camps. The first camp is interested in economics and investment. The second camp is interested in leisure and enjoying their own money. What binds the two together is their shared interest of reserving all wealth for themselves, regardless of what the specific purpose is.

My parents know I have no interest in settling down with a woman, but I doubt they've heard of the acronym "MGTOW" before. They're from a different generation, I doubt they would understand anyway. They think I'm just taking my time finding a woman, let them keep thinking that.

They still prod me every once in awhile with the whole "when can we expect grand children" thing, but my response to them is always "ask (my sister), only she can answer that question for you."

I think half my co workers are mgtow.. We usually get called manwhore tho..

Get shamed one way or the other I guess

scorched_throwaway · 2016-08-23T00:34:35+00:00

yes, every bloody person i know and work with knows i'm MGTOW. in most cases i spell it out to them, just so they're educated and clear what MGTOW means and i do call out bigotry and sexism against men and boys, every time i witness it. i do this daily, with zero reservations and could give two fucks what their feelz are about it. if find the right artist, i may even tat MGTOW somewhere prominent. EDIT: i refuse to hide my beliefs.

People don't know shit.

2016-08-23T03:16:39+00:00

haha yes. this religious girl I work with is really bothered by it.

2016-08-23T03:46:53+00:00

My Parents know. My mom's in denial though

I just say "i'm taking a break from dating." It's been a blissful six years since I dumped my BPD ex. I shan't return to the plantation. What's weird is how pissed off guys get about it. I don't bother to shit talk women because I really don't care about them anymore but they get heated up to defend women when I'll point out a womans behavior is controlling to them.

Only those close to me know. Only times when I purposely bring it up is when one of my blue pill friends is depressed over some chick, and I sometimes HAVE to bring it up when my PUA friend keeps trying to get me to become an obsessed PUA like him. I have to remind him that I don't do that shit and I'm going my own way.

One of my co workers is also mgtow. The others are manginas. One is in a straight up abusive relationship with his fat bitch wife, but he's a complete retard so he deserves it.

To be honest, unless you're a Chad with a 6 or 7 figure income (or appear to have that potential), most people don't care. Society seems to know quite well - even though they will never admit it - that not all men are expected to reproduce and the ones who don't "have what it takes" won't. So they feel it's best not to rub it in by asking questions. In general, after 35, the vast majority of men are simply ignored by society. After 40, unless you're a movie star or something, you're practically invisible. Parents dead or dying. Relatives living their own lives. No wife. No kids. You're on your own. So I wouldn't worry about "having to hide it" for long.

YungSwami · 2016-08-23T00:33:25+00:00

I subtlety drop hints on the regular around my friends and trusted male coworkers.

I find more and more men are increasingly becoming rp-aware, but I've over the years less and less push-back to the shit I say.

2016-08-23T04:58:25+00:00

I think people might "guess" that I'm a MGHOW, but I've never used any of the jargon or discuss MGTOW itself. I do talk a lot about being childfree and marriagefree.

I try to keep it as gender-neutral as possible. Thus I frame it as self-preservation against an overreaching government, and I try to mention women as little as possible in my reasoning.

Whenever anybody asks me about "settling down" I just play this video.

guys. i'm not meaning to sound like a jerk, i'm really not. i understand. there are social, familial and financial reasons to keep it inside. though isn't this why your here. freedom means quite a lot. it means giving up something, (fear), for something better. you feared all of that which you came from, now your hear expressing your preconditioned fears, i do not blame you. my advice, to only those whom can, in our circumstance. stand up, be you, hold no spite and do an be as you believe, MGTOW or other. be free for once, try it. once you feel it, you may just say fuck it, this is my life now. ..and anyone whom rejects you for MGTOW, that's bigotry. nothing wrong with not being afraid

Not by that name. I'm just a single man with hobbies.

Let me tell you, Invisibility is a good super power.

The less people know about you, The less weapon they owned to use it againts you.
