The big list of (other) blue pill bullshit.

Social Status

Big one, it's a bunch of unnecessary bullshit. Your perceived social status makes you nothing more than an expendable commodity to others. All it serves is to keep people separated into fickle little bullshit cliques.

Career Choice

Choose only what you truly want to do.

im not sure what you are looking for here. if you do home ownership or property ownership in general correctly it is very beneficial. and if you actually work while going to college you can leave not owing very much.

Working Out

Generalising horrendously, but. There's a law of diminishing returns here. A little goes a long way. Yeah, you owe it to yourself to achieve and maintain a basic level of strength, fitness, and aesthetic appeal. But beyond that, meh, the "rewards" really don't justify the extra work.

Here goes : -Work hard on a degree.

-Marry a 30+yr old single mom with 2 kids preferably from 2 different men.

Buy her a house, a car, expensive gifts & take her on vacations. Put her kids in pvt. schools & plan for their college education. Always remeber if she treats you horribly it's becoz of the patriarchy.

-Hand over the house & car to her when she kicks you out for being unhappy. Work hard to pay her alimony, cs, etc. Fight the false dv & child molestation charges. Continue paying their college fees.

After a few months, find another single mom.

Also don't forget to :

Be a feminist ally.
Man up & defend women from their own bad choices. Bonus points if you get stabbed or shot.
Teach your sons not to rape. Teach them to check their cis male previlige.

-Teach your daughters that they deserve special treatment & respect just cause.

Fame. I've never had it, but it doesn't seem to provide a very meaningful level of satisfaction.

Losing your virginity.

As for cars. Well, my relationship with cars has undergone a couple of evolutions. Right now I only value cars for their utility as transport - I used to have a much more emotional investment in them, I was all about those rear wheel kilowatts for a couple of years.

But that kind of money, for those kinds of cars, in a built up city where you could rarely drive above 60km/h. What was I thinking. The opportunity costs, yikes.

I think if I wanted those kind of thrills again, I'd just rent for a weekend. But hey, if it gives you joy and you've got the scratch - by all means.

Bars and Clubs

I wouldn't knock home ownership. Its nice to be done with rent

oldredder · 2016-04-10T08:18:37+00:00

Solid. If you can find a legal jurisdiction in which to own/build a home but NOT pay forever-rent in the form of tax that's great. In the world there are places but most of us don't live there. America, Australia, UK, Canada are no such places. Even the Phillipines or Vietnam are not such places.

Cars: if you can build/repair your own that makes real value.

Travel: if you can do it cheap, making it part of your work, or hitch-hiking, it can be good, and that includes trading/barter to get boat-rides the hell out of dodge.

Body-building: this is fitness. This is your health. This is your core foundation. If you lack this your life will be one of illness and early mechanical failure so you depend on others who will probably steal from you when you are too weak to stop them even though they are paid to make your meals, your bed or to help you around in old age. This is incredibly common.

Jewelry : depends on quality of metal and rarity of stones. Some things are higher value like pure gold, platinum and saphire, jade or lapis lazuli. A lot else is shit for value like diamonds.

bars & clubs: depends on what you're doing. If you're making money directly from them by selling booze to them or running DJ shows or something, it could be quite lucrative.

Mikehateseverything · 2016-04-10T00:30:22+00:00

All good. You can definitely do home ownership and higher education intelligently and get a good ROI (however you care to define that for yourself). Most people don't though - that's kind of what I'm driving at - most people do these things because "it's what you're supposed to do". I think anything that gets that label needs closer examination.

If you guys are interested, I figure we should talk about the flipside of this too:

social status, home ownership done wrong ( 90%+ do it wrong ), travel done wrong ( 90%+ do it wrong ), keeping up with newest gadgets ( bigger TV, newer phone, fucking apple watch, etc ), big apartment/house, LTR with a hot but dumb woman aka bimbo

the things you own end up owning you unless you are very careful

its tough to know what youre going to want to do in ten months much less ten years when the only thing you can count on is you

fame does not serve the famous

alot of guys have huge joint problems later in life from exercise

i personally listen to my body, match calories to activity level, dont own things that are difficult to move ie i can relocate to new place in An afternoon, and im nearly 40

i dont treat my life like im building a statue of perfection, there will be no perfect moment where i will be satisfied, i will always be fluid, i will always have goals until im dead

the things i do have tell a story, mine, and having tools for 10, 20, 30 years is more important than bling

i have a drum pad ive had since i was 12 that my mom got me for christmas. its a 30 dollar object that has accompanied me.

will any woman ever understand and respect this, so far maybe one or two.

but things like this add richness to your life, they help you mark the passage of time and demonstrate your unique spirit.

a night in the vip, a new car, a fancy house, cant do these things, in fact new additions to my kit no matter how expensive will feel wrong unless carefully considered, if i got a porsche tomorrow it would make me feel fake to myself

hope this helps

I'm going for living within my means.

I'm staying with my dad, and helping him with food, chores, and bills. It's low-rent, a roof over my head, and lets me catch up on my finances. His second wife fucked him over and ran off because her life wasn't 'ideal'. Hell, I think my dad is an unintentional MGTOW. He's planning to live out of a van in a few years so he can live out his elder days traveling the roads of NA.

With the GI Bill benefits, disability, and simple part time work I can save $1000 a month. After I pay my car off in less than a year, even more.

To add to the list:

95% of pop culture (music, TV, films, news, etc.)

Ass-kissing for careers

85% of social sciences

Feel good products (Homeopathy, Massages etc.)

Counselors (Marriage, Psychiatry etc.)

Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Consumerism

Honestly, you should scrutinize everything.

The premise of MGTOW is establishing your own path. That means calling just about everything into question, and living free of ideological bonds. It's a painful process, but if want the truth then you have to set yourself apart.

IMO the "proper/correct way" (for an MGTOW) to buy/own a home is to:

EDIT: I should add that the above ONLY applies to buying a house as YOUR permanent/final residence.
