r/MGTOW Is Not Good For Mental Health

Duke_LFG · 2020-04-28T00:01:34+00:00

Yeah, fully agree. That subreddit is just cancerous. I like it here because no one is forcing some brand of identity on me.

proactive-defense · 2020-04-28T00:18:44+00:00

There is a difference between:

pointing out the facts of female nature and trends of female behaviour
and hating women

Do not conflate the two.

I sometimes visit because it's like a train wreck: you can't look away and part of you wants to help somehow even though it's largely pointless and puts yourself in harm's way.

jeffumopolis · 2020-04-28T02:03:57+00:00

Lol it’s Like r/MGTOW2 is literally part 2, The final half. Accepting, establishing, and applying the philosophy. Where as r/MGTOW is the beginning half, where you bitch, moan, cry about women, and learn about the existence of the philosophy.

JudgementalChair · 2020-04-28T01:37:09+00:00

I've noticed that my "red-pill rage" phase has greatly dissipated after leaving mgtow. I don't hate women, but I really hate the blatant pandering, sexism, and systemic bias that 3rd wave Feminism has generated in our society. My problem is with feminism not females

tdreampo · 2020-04-28T01:25:08+00:00

Mgtow is about being the best version of yourself. Hating on ANYONE is bad for your mental health.

Great_Sandwich · 2020-04-28T02:25:35+00:00

As a member of BOTH subs, allow me to ask you this: Why did you join r/MGTOW in the first place?

Likely, you joined because you were at a certain place in your life. Likely, you had given your love and your loyalty to a woman, who then turned around and betrayed you in some way.

r/MGTOW is filled with men who have been brought to their knees through their best intentions toward women; filled with men who have tried their best only to be destroyed time, and again.

I joined because after my last one, I absolutely reached my fill. I'm a man in his late 50s who has been put through the ringer. My last one had me going to a cardiologist twice, and for a CAT scan once. All results were negative. The chest pain and headaches were the result of stress. Brought on by her.

r/MGTOW serves a role. Think of it as an intermediate stage through which men must pass to regain their health. I am in no way as angry as I used to be. Since that time I came to r/MGTOW2.

But I will state this plainly: Only ONE of you is hostile toward the other. Only ONE of you constantly demeans the other, and insults them, looking down their noses at them as something less than they are. And its r/MGTOW2. I have never seen the world "incel" used as much as it is here. You may or may not believe it, but I have NEVER seen a harsh word toward men, or this site in particular, on r/MGTOW.

r/MGTOW is a site where good men profess their desire toward "self-improvement", yet you shit all over your brothers who are presently going through a stage you yourselves went through. If "self-improvement" is your goal, you can start there. Remember where you came from. Remember what that last woman put you through. Not everyone is going to respond in the same way.

I agree it’s not good for mental health but neither is walking blindly into the trap that is marriage and family court. I’m glad I took the red pill so I don’t kill myself down the line when shit hits the fan

Jamez4401 · 2020-04-28T02:58:57+00:00

I think r/MGTOW is where a lot of guys go who’ve been cheated on/experienced something bad with female nature and vent to express their feelings

Once they cool down I guess they come here which is more about men improving themselves and less memes about women. I’m not saying r/MGTOW is bad, I just think it’s necessary when a guy’s just gone through some heavy shit relating to females and he’s angry/disappointed.

SuperSayanVegeta · 2020-04-28T00:56:16+00:00

I don't get people who constantly waste time on hating someone. If you don't like women, ignore them and don't spill shit on them every single day. Just live your life, what's the point of criticizing them non stop?

pull_a_sickie · 2020-04-28T07:07:37+00:00

This post got me to leave mgtow. I had discovered this part 2 sub a while back, lurking for a bit. Lurked on the original too. Until this post made me aware, I went to the subreddit and discovered that scrolling down a few pages - yes, it’s all female centric, not going your own way centric. Let’s hope this sub continues and doesn’t degenerate into its original counterpart.

901735 · 2020-04-27T23:49:40+00:00

Because of that I became more active in r/MGTOW2.

If it was because of "that" and not "you", you might have a good portion of your path still ahead of you.

Anybody else feel this way about r/MGTOW?

Nope. Nobody. You're ALL alone. But you got this, you can make it. We promise. ]=)

manfrombelow · 2020-04-28T07:25:58+00:00

Couldn't have said it better.

At MGTOW, many times I had to ask myself: "Since when did MGTOW equals hating the women gender?"

Yes you can point out the true nature and certain default traits of the female gender, but hating them is another story. And that's the problem with MGTOW.

Milk_moustache · 2020-04-28T07:43:39+00:00

Unless you’re some single alpha male living in the wilderness they’ll never accept you. Those types of people never post either, I don’t think the wilderness gets good 4G signal

krazyrobus1 · 2020-04-28T10:04:00+00:00

As the about says, it's a hospital and it's ugly in hospitals but you are not supposed to live in a hospital, you are meant to get better and move out.

ValkyBoi · 2020-04-28T10:03:41+00:00

lmao simp

Cheeky9 · 2020-04-28T08:13:58+00:00

Ironically, it was a post on r/MGTOW that helped me get over my hatred of women. Although I get how some people would find that place toxic.

akihonj · 2020-04-28T00:06:54+00:00

I don't bother with that sub anymore myself, at one time they were great much like this sub is now, a guy falls down they were there to pick him up, now it's just descended into hate.

I was starting to find that I'd moved on from hate and yes like all men get pissed off from time to time, come on here have a rant about it, brothers are calm say hey that happens don't sweat it, you're good.

There it's just oh that's because your a faggot and other bs.

There was a time when I found that sub I was near ending it and some guys talked me down, I don't think it's much use for that now, this sub is still like that, you know men banding together and looking out for each other.

I hope it always stays that way.

stutzydripgod · 2020-04-28T00:43:06+00:00

Yeah I get that as well. Back when they quarantined the Red Pill, I found it ridiculous. It was just a group of guys sharing the evolutionary biology of women and how to improve yourself, create goals, have ambitions, and apply yourself in the 21st century. Ever since then, this subreddit was the next best thing to echo those same principles.

fagstick123 · 2020-04-28T00:52:38+00:00

It is a total hive mind. You can MGTOW without hating women. Hating is useless, mostly.

independent_thinker3 · 2020-04-28T01:03:22+00:00

Yes, that sub is toxic, as is the feminism sub. I try to avoid toxic subs that don't lead to thoughtful discussion and nuance. The anarco_cap sub is getting close.

Bennyjig · 2020-04-28T01:10:04+00:00

The issue is it got too big. When I first joined years ago it was great, people talking about their lives as single men living the way they want to and people being very encouraging. Now it’s just stupid memes and no intelligent conversations or thoughts being put forward. After 4 or 5 years, I left a couple months back.

saamohod · 2020-04-28T02:21:37+00:00

You're right, hating on women makes no sense. It's their nature. Just keep a safe distance.

upload_error · 2020-04-28T02:43:08+00:00

Its the fucking mods over there who let the place turn into an anti-woman sub instead of being a promale one. After td and trp got censored they should have took notice and ban all the red pill rage shit. That sub has given us a notorious rep here on reddit it deserves to get banned.

Abdul_Alhazred_ · 2020-04-28T03:34:26+00:00

All the Men Going Their Own Way left r/MGTOW a long time ago, that place is now full of incels.

victor_knight · 2020-04-28T03:37:44+00:00

You could also try r/GenuineMGTOW which is a bit older than this place but pretty much along the same lines.

FutureMike999 · 2020-04-28T04:10:01+00:00

I was banned from MGTOW because I said we should post more positive and uplifting things about men and post less women hating

Mars_Pornhub · 2020-04-28T05:07:42+00:00

I've noticed that. Many MGTOW guys online just hate women. They are no better than the feminists. I love women, I had many friends with benefits I loved to hang out and spend time with. I'm just not willing to have a serious relationship.

MGTOWmadness · 2020-04-28T05:22:09+00:00

Agreed.

SoloAssassin45 · 2020-04-28T03:29:31+00:00
