MGTOW of course does not instantly mean hating women.

I don't hate anyone, unless they have done something pretty extreme to me in order for me to hate them. MGTOW, to me, is just doing his own thing, enjoying life, as he chooses. I do what I choose to do, and don't concern myself with other's choices (unless it imposes on or affects me negatively).

I have chosen not to date, and I don't see why that should affect others. And it doesn't mean I "hate" women or am some misogynist. . Not many, but I do have a couple female friends who accept that I don't want to date and don't get into the shaming of "you'll die alone" or "Awww keep trying there's someone for everyone".

I just go about whatever I have chosen to do, and if people (regardless of gender)make friendly conversation, I will do the same before going back to what it was I was doing. There simply is nothing misogynistic about going your own way and doing your own thing. Peace out.
