How does your amount of free time look now versus when it did when you were dating, in an LTR, etc?

These are my priorities (taken from the great Patrice O'Neal):

Me
My career
My mother
My family and close friends
My hobbies
Any potential short term relationship

To answer your question, so much time and much less heart ache.

I never realized how much time I invested into finding a girlfriend until I started checking out MGTOW articles and threads and really clicked with them. Even when I was reading TRP it was all about finding a girl. Now I look at TRP from the perspective of constantly improving myself and developing self-discipline. As a result I've taken my career more seriously, I've put more time and especially effort into my hobbies and interests, and--most importantly--into strengthening my male relationships and family ties. To answer your question, I now have a paradoxical view of free time. Every minute is now free time to pursue whatever I want, but I pretty much have no free time because I pursue the above all day! And it makes me incredibly content because I can see my improvement towards my goals and my relationships are stronger. And I have focused less on the end-game of the goals and more on the journey of pursuing the goals. I don't plan on getting married, but I will still date as long as the women meet my standards. It is still fun and exciting, but it is one of my lowest priorities in life right now; plus, I spend minimal time and effort on dating. Man...life is awesome.

More free time and better toys.

I have so much free time it's unreal. It's to do as I please with. Before, my weeks were spent dating, planning dates, etc. Now, I'm free to do anything and everything I want. I listen to colleagues at work about their weekend plans and it's all centred around doing shit they don't want to do for the sake of a relationship. I think to myself, poor bastards.

I recently made a little arcade cabinet and made a pretty successful post on r/DIY about it and one of the comments said something along the lines of "I can't wait until I retire so I'll have time to work on stuff like this". And I just thought about how happy I am to be 24, work full time and still have time to do dope shit.

I have two kids, so the free time I had when I was married is about the same, but I'm free to use it differently. My kids are old enough to where we can do just about anything and it's not a major pain in the ass. Ever try to go camping with toddlers and a nagging wife? I'd rather take a shovel to the face. But now it's completely stress free. The kids (teen and pre-teen) love it, and we can literally do whatever we want. They're nerds like me, so there's no complaining if I want to do a Star Wars marathon on a lazy Sunday afternoon, or if we all just want to sit around and read for a few hours.

Way more free time! It's fantastic. My Band is coming together, work is great, I work out more, I go on vacations, hobbies are frequent and I visit prostitutes every few weeks.

Why do I need a woman again?

Now

Lots of free time to do whatever I want.

In a relationship

What is "free time"?

At least 30% more of it but more importantly I use it so much more wisely. I love the way I am setting up my life. Serenity in life and money in the bank.

Actually nothing changed, I had a gf for six years but I didn't exactly put her above my goals and beloved free time.

Jeez bruv, For 2 years I was dating one of those has-everything Barbie girls and was constantly on a roller coaster and strung out with stress feeling like I had to prove myself to her. (Yes, I was the bluest mangina when she met me. I get that after these months by myself).

Any how, as a single man I never knew how much time there was in a day and how peaceful it is putting your needs first; she calls now and then to check up on me although she has a girlfriend and I make it a point to tell her how other women are taking notice of me and pass her now recognizable shite tests.
