"so you ended up as a mgtow, eh'' with either a condescending or mocking tone. Resist the temptation to justify or get into an argument with them by trying to prove how morally depraved the modern women are.

Gentlemen, we are breaking free from the so-called 'time-tested' tradition because it is becoming inhuman to lead a blue pill life in the current times. I was afraid i would become a masochist or worse i might end up getting jailed for letting instincts overcome prefrontal cortex. So irrespective of whether it's right or wrong, i had to go on my own. It is the logical next step in my decision making process when perceived realities weren't matching the promised expectations.

The knowledge about the fallacy of the blue pill should make you pass through the same 5 stages of grief:

  1. Denial
  2. Anger
  3. Bargain
  4. Depression
  5. Acceptance.

It's been two years since my break-up and i am currently in the depression phase. Somewhere in-between i subscribed to atheism. I am assuring myself daily that i won't get enough validation- either from family or the society. Remember the scene from 'True detective' season 1- episode 1, when Marty recollects visiting Rust's unfurnished apartment, he tells ''i tell you guys and believe me, past a certain age and a man without a family can be a bad thing". This is what we are going to fight- Men with family got something to worry about all the time while we are going to have a lot of time in our hands for ourselves. We ought to make the best of it.

I look forward for the acceptance stage, when it's a bold brave new world out there to start everything fresh.

From there we need to define what constitutes an accomplished life and start living that, making necessary corrections to the original plan upon the feedback / progress.

So the answer to "so u ended up as an mgtow" is: IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING, i mutter to myself. Everybody needs assurance that their lives are the best. So keep the blue pillers happy by telling them what they want to hear; because what matters to us is not what others say; it is what we do with our lives.
