The closest I've ever gotten to telling people about my MGTOW beliefs has been something along the lines of "I'm not cut out for relationships" and that's about it. I've never gone to: "listen I've weighed the pros and cons of relationships with women for men in the west, and I've decided that the risks far outweigh the benefits and have decided to not gamble on that hoping it works but instead I've chose to abstain. Permanently."

I don't hate women, the most important people in my life right now are women, sisters, mothers, niece. I work with plenty of women, I respect them we have light laughs etc... But it feels like if I shared my beliefs of why I've chosen the path I did. It could only lead to one conclusion; Misogynist

I don't mind the "he's probably in the closet(gay)" rumours floating around the office now, because I happen to be successful, ok looking, pleasant and sociable to a certain point for a work environment. That doesn't bother me, makes me laugh. But the misogynist label is something I'd have a hard time with.

Where I'm from, there's one province that already has amended their common law. in B.C. for i.e. according to the province you're as good as married if you live with you're GF for two years or more and follow the same laws as if you were married. Quebec is also going this route but with a shorter time limit requirement. It makes me wonder how can any man with a brain, who happens to be successful even consider stepping into this kind of arrangement hoping for the best, hoping she doesn't turn into a psychopath in X amount of years and not take him to the cleaners, all because she can and has the backing of courts and judicial system to do so.

So it would seem like with knowledge like that it would make sense for men not to want to take the risk and me being able to say no thanks I'm MGTOW should be no problem or stigma attached to it but there is.

So yeah, I'm in the closet about it and I think it's a quiet revolution that's going to grow steadily.
