Hi, folks. I just finished writing an article called "Missing Out on Love," which tackles the common negative belief that bachelors/MGTOW miss out on love, and in particular, miss out on the deepest and most profound form of love, which is romantic-sexual relationships. Here is an excerpt, with a link below if you'd like to read more.
"If you are trying to live a happy, contented life as a bachelor, you have an enemy, and the enemy is inside. Actually, there are about a dozen of them.
I’m talking about a set of destructive, interlocking negative beliefs about the alleged perils of bachelorhood. These beliefs can ruin your chances of having a good, satisfying bachelor life. They can leave you stuck, feeling sad, remorseful, envious, shamed, or uncertain.
Here are some examples. If you’re a bachelor, you’re immature. There’s something wrong with you; you didn’t measure up somehow. Your life won’t be as meaningful and fulfilling. You won’t be as happy. You won’t live as long. You will miss out on intimacy. You will miss out on love.
In order to have a satisfying life as a bachelor, you have to uproot these beliefs at a core level. That is not easy, because these beliefs get instilled in us at an early age, they come at us from a variety of quarters (family, media, religion, biology, peers, etc.) and they are repeated perpetually.
I want to pick apart these ideas, one at a time.
I’ll focus on this one first — the idea that bachelors miss out on love, and that, in particular, they miss out on the deepest and most profound form of love there is, a long-term, sexual-romantic relationship with a woman.
As I’m sure you’ll agree, if that is true, it’s is a pretty big deal. If we are missing out on one of the most meaningful experiences in life, that’s bad. So, let’s take a look at this idea.
I’ve wrestled with it for many years, and I’ve 95% rooted it out of my system. I’d like to pass on what I’ve learned. If you’ve ever been bothered by doubts in this area, you might find this useful. Even if you already know what I’m about to say, it can help to get a refresher, because the cultural and biological programming is so pervasive."
