What do you guys consider to be “Going your own way”?

Noah-Izzy · 2019-06-26T02:53:12+00:00

I consider going my own way to be living my life the way I want to, with no one, and no thing, for that matter, to tell me how to live my life. I don’t want to be held down by a nagging gf or wife, but I also don’t want to be held down by a job that doesn’t let me do as I please. I have gone my own way by choosing to live a simple, calculated, safe, and happy life.

Life life on your terms. That means...you want to travel? Travel. You want to buy a house or start a business? Do that. For me? It means paying off my cheap house, stacking money and not going out and being very frugal and cheap. The women i meet who come and go and just hookups and i don't spend more than 2 to 3 beers on em at a time. NO dinner dates or anything like that. I don't believe in the whole monk mode thing or whatever the terminology is. I will NEVER get married or live with a dependapotamus. Idc if the woman works, if she lives with you she will always want to go out to eat and shop and vacation and spend your money. I've been with enough. I'd rather live alone and maybe get a roommate down the road. Not because I want to live with one, but because I would like the extra income. I love living alone man. It's all about chasing your dreams and doing things on your terms in life.

The rejection of;

Male servitude

Gynocentric conditioning

Identity politics

Women's equality

Not caring what the society thinks of us when we refuse marrying and live for ourselves

Pretty much being Gorean-minded.

But you have to compromise with this philosophy or you would end in jail in no time.

Rejection of the male's "traditional" roles (i.e. protector & provider) for women. That's all.

Getting my shit together, without the societal cliches. In other words, be a grown-up man.

Addicted to video game? Stop that. Find a graduate program and learn a skill instead of having a kid and let the parental instinct do the job.

Feeling lonely and worthless? Open your eye and learn how to not give a f*ck, instead of seeking psychiatrists or a wife for fix.

Not happy with how people treat you? Grow a backbone and stay away, meanwhile grab a few skills that make me important so that they wouldn't do it, instead of going home and seeking comfort from a wife.

I am the only one in charge of my life. That's all.

*Do what you want.* That's it.

Sounds kinda like Satanism lol

Well, with the precept being that the goal is good health, financial stability, and general happiness in life that a man is free to pursue because he is walking away from traditional social roles that are engendered in the Blue Pill plantation life, I would say that I am watching what I eat and getting more exercise to get into shape, I'm trying to invest as much as I can and am considering trying my hand at day trading to help me get to fill financial independence, and I am enjoying learning how to play acoustic fingerstyle guitar as a fun and challenging hobby to just let loose a bit.

I would say freedom. Of course freedom should be proportional to responsibility. The more freedom one takes, the more responsible they are for that freedom.

The more free you are, the more Mgtow you are imo.

malerevolution · 2019-06-29T13:27:06+00:00

Just doing what I want to do. If I want to go out, I go out and if I want to stay in, I stay in. Being free to pursue my own interests without any interference and not having anyone bother me about it.

vetiarvind · 2019-06-29T15:49:02+00:00

Not becoming a slave to my impulses, women or society in general while being able to contribute in areas I'm interested in. This means growing my skills, pursuing freedom (from being forced against my will) and living a peaceful and happy life.

NYCCOOP · 2019-08-23T02:27:45+00:00

I really want to change that. I want men from divorcees, widowers, pick up artists and even the more benign sexually frustrated young incels, and young men who have been hurt or taken advantage of; to realize that the prime value of their lives is not what they can provide for someone else, but for how they can LIVE for themselves.

And as long as there is a focus on what women do/want/behave, that can't happen for them.
