"I will not make any deals with you. I have resigned.
"I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered.
"My life is my own."
Patrick McGoohan, The Prisoner.
This, it seems to me, should be the watchword of MGTOW. I serve no man. I do not owe anybody anything unless I have consented to the obligation. This means value for value, tit-for-tat.
Unlike Briffault's Law ("what have you done for me lately?"), however, I will hold a chit: if you do something for me, I will pay you back in a manner we can both agree upon, even if it be some time in the future, at your discretion, I pay my bills. I have learned "the bill always comes due, eventually."
