I say do w/e you want to do. If you want to wear tailored suits everywhere and nice watches and drive nice cars because you want to, DO IT. Don't worry about what women want or don't want. Go your own way. If they compliment your shit, say thanks and walk away. I mean it's not like they can control your mind and make you entertain them in any way. Treat them like creeps if they linger and so on.

GoodMan_Gone · 2019-12-07T20:02:23+00:00

I hide in plain sight. No fancy clothes, watches, haircuts, shoes or cars. Works like a charm.

Encrypted587 · 2019-12-07T20:01:15+00:00

She has done her homework on expensive valuables it's all part of her game. You should have said it's not a bad watch for a fake one, I guarantee she will walk away.

narmohare · 2019-12-07T20:10:24+00:00

Say Thank you for the compliment and walk away, simple as that. Women are attracted to expensive items, because it means that man had value to them. Did she talk to you before you bought that? Well then why would she talk to you after you did?

Gibits · 2019-12-07T19:55:22+00:00

Congrats on the sweet watch. Don’t worry about attracting attention. Most women don’t come on to men but passivity invite you to hit on them. So just don’t accept that invite and you’re fine.

I’m saving for a Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso. After getting my first Rolex I’ve been a big admirer/wannabe collector of mechanical watches.

Zachjsrf · 2019-12-07T22:34:13+00:00

I make well over 6 figures and am in pretty good physical shape and I get some attention here and there but for the most part i take the compliments to stroke my ego and go right back to my life. Don't overthink it. You sound afraid just focus on yourself

ksmoothg · 2019-12-07T22:43:53+00:00

Invest invest invest. You will be a millionaire in no time. Once you have assets and wealth move to a forest area near you and never deal with people again.

hugaddiction · 2019-12-07T19:41:39+00:00

What I think she meant when she said “nice watch” is “hey, that looks expensive, I too am expensive”. Ball as hard as you want, as long as you are doing it for you, you shouldn’t care what the females around you are or are not attracted to.

Wolverine190 · 2019-12-07T19:24:07+00:00

One way to look at it is a convenient way of weeding out (or discarding) wastes of time/energy.

If they take the bait...NEXT!

EndlessPatriotism · 2019-12-07T23:01:20+00:00

Say "how much" when she says "how much what" you say "how much for sex" and when she says "Im not a prostitute" say "you could have fooled me". Problem solved. If she is a prostitute say that your not interested.

Part of me tells me to tell you fuck them all, just do what you want. It really depends if you are totally GYOW, or just are armed with the proper tools to be a Chad.

If this is something that freaks you out, you can still buy nice things that make you feel good, but do it in a stealth way. I was looking at Subs at one point, and spent 1/10 on a Steinhart. At that point in addition to girls noticing (don't be fooled, that girl may not "know" watches, but she knows status symbols) I was approached by Rolex owners. My watch had a better, more accurate movement, same crystal and ceramic bezel, etc etc as Rolexs do.

If you dive deep, you can do better with less money than the big brands offer.

Big name brands aren't "better" all of the time. Do you want labels or do you want "better"?

stewie88 · 2019-12-08T01:15:19+00:00

Separate your circles. Do not let your work circle touch your "social" circle. If you want to wear your good gear out and about, go ahead. But, stay away from the areas that your co-workers frequent. If your co-workers see you out with your Gucci gear, the word will spread pronto. Random encounters with strangers, and the smiles that go with the attention paid to the gear, are a nice stroke to the ego. However, ego is the enemy of accomplishment. Just my two cents. I should probably follow this advice a little more closely myself.

Edit: things that attract women are confidence, and self satisfaction. Both are on display when wearing the things that make you feel good. Do not let that stop you from wearing the things that make you feel good. Just be aware and handle the situation accordingly. All that said, make up your own mind and handle your business in a way that is best for you.

You'll notice the difference fast. Girls who never talked to you suddenly do. That's all you need to know. Keep at it though and be whatever person you want to be. This is MGTOW, not 'find a woman who really loves you for who you are'. Make yourself a promise to hold the same standards you held before. For most men in MGTOW this is a plus, as it increases your chance of getting laid even though you won't be bothering to go the marriage route.

GTOH4U · 2019-12-07T20:57:22+00:00

Just remember if women are noticing it so are thieves, I had a really good fake of a Breitling watch worth a lot of money... I decided I wasn't going to eventually get beaten up for it. As for women so what if more women are more interested in you, more women equals more options, no need to be rude, just go further with those that meet your criteria. Irrespective of what you think of superficial wealth status it does make a difference in how EVERYONE perceives you. Potentially decent women passed you up before because you looked average, just like you can be attracted to women who do themselves up at the weekend.

phrackrat · 2019-12-07T23:43:36+00:00

I bought a used Submariner to celebrate. However the day after I bought it a woman at the coffee shop I go to every day approached me and complimented me on it.

Totally get this, when I graduated college my late grandfather gifted me a very rare Breitling. I get tons of compliments, especially from women.

How do I avoid the usual indicators women use to filter for mates.

Clothing? Dress like a bum. When not coming to and from work (or some family/friend get together) I wear workout clothes and I wear old shoes. Still rock the watch. I am invisible to women. They are looking for nice/expensive clothing.

Car? I drive a very nice 3 year old mid level car. Nothing flashy as an everyday driver/errands. Sure I have a great sports car parked in the garage. I drive the nice one when I want to enjoy myself and I try not to take it places that I expect women to see. Drive the "junk" lots of places.

House? Just enough for me. Doesnt look any special. Inside I have walls covered in art that cost enough to buy some very very nice cars. Women dont get inside the home so they have no clue.

Grooming? Nothing special. I got rid of my expensive haircut that I would get done each week. Clippers at 1/4. Facial hair, I clip it dont to that "I shaved a few days ago" look. Easy to maintain. Look poor as fuck.

Interaction with women? I stole this from Howard Dare; I treat women the same way I would treat a long haired skinny man.

Out and about (like grocery shopping)? I wear my beats turned up. I enjoy myself and usually dance as I do my business. Its amazing how headphones is the "dont talk to me" sign. I know a good looking deaf girl that wears headphones (no music playing) out and about since it cuts rando interactions down.

I am invisible to rando ladies.

Crafty-Tackle · 2019-12-07T23:53:36+00:00

Do not waste your money on toys. I am not saying that buying a watch is so bad, but at some point, you need to invest money for the future. I recommend no-load stock and bond funds. You will not get rich, but you should be able to keep your earnings intact for the future when you will need them.

The3Percenterz · 2019-12-08T00:56:41+00:00

I attained my bachelor of science degree this year, and I'm 100% retired for life due to VA pension plus yearly COLA increases. I just say I'm rated 100% disability and they are gone. Plus, my pension can't be touched even by the IRS or divorce or bankruptcy. Source, currently almost finished with bankruptcy! I'll be living in my own apartment, free, don't need a job, and no kids, no wife, comfy furniture, and getting 39k inheritance soon. Done. With the free healthcare, that's 1.5 million bucks by age 67ish. Earlier if I land this recent invitation from Microsoft I just applied to their sales division on invite.

Mr_M0t0m0 · 2019-12-08T02:18:00+00:00

I keep my communication with them at a BARE MINIMUM because I know they are only interested in a male who will be only interested in them and be willingly controlled by them. I refuse to be subservient to the modern femoid. NON SERVIUM.

atheos42 · 2019-12-08T10:44:20+00:00

I would stop buying watches, and start buying assets. Watches and other items are liabilities, they just drain your cash-flow. Start buying assets that generate cash-flow. Assets like stocks and REITs. If you don't have a brokerage account, I would get one. Vanguard is awesome if you are just looking for a passive investment strategy.

Dress and live like you don't have money. Then take any extra money you don't need to live and invest the hell out of it. Hopefully you can retire early and really adopt the "no fucks given attitude".

wildfireboat · 2019-12-09T16:29:24+00:00

I think this is the perfect opportunity for you to learn a skill. That skill is accepting a compliment from a woman without hinting that you are interested in her or leading her to believe that your are secretly MGTOW.

Thirtysomething2019 · 2019-12-10T18:26:33+00:00

Driving any car that was built when you were in middle school helps.
