I have noticed for the fully self actualised mgtow, two pathways can occur by choice for the man with regards to what he does for the absence of women in his life. Some, like TFM naturally were inclined to find a substitute for the women, and experimented with the dolls and toys to obtain superior alternatives in their view. Others like Stardusk and those that take that path (me) have just undergone a conscious Adaptation to not need the lady, but maybe to enjoy one once a year or so when in control or convenient.

For myself, when superior options exist in the future for walking moving dolls, I will engage in a spoiling of myself I believe and would try it. Why not. However, I don't intend to replace the void women never filled that I feel I already resolved with mgtow. I suppose the next step is mgtow monk -but for young men this can be considered impossible for most.

Substitution or Adaptation appear to be the optional pathways.
