I have just recently found this subreddit and immediately joined it. I have been a MGTOW for quite some time now and I did not even realize it before I subscribed here.

From what I gather many MGTOW here are the ones that have been hurt by women under various circumstances. Now, my story is different.

I am a 27yo virgin male and I have never been in a relationship. It is not that I am asexual. There are mating instincts within me, but I choose not to act on them. Fair enough, I have tried to pursue some women in the past, but those were literally 2 cases, which ended in failure. On the other hand I have been approached by some women, I reckon number of them being about 10 up to now. I have rejected them, not because of their looks or even character, but because I knew for a fact our relationship-to-be would not last long. Hell, there was even one occasion where I was terribly drunk with a girl in a bed (typical unexpected one-night-stand), but I was too stressed and too drunk to perform and thus stayed a virgin further, which I am thankful for now, however it sounds.

Now, hear me. For one, I have seen too many of my friends in relationships, some long (11 years), other shorter, but still long (4 years; 5 years) and some other. They lived with their gfs and all that, but ultimately all of them suffered a breakup (parties to blame various, reasons for me unknown). I reckon they all fell prey to sexual revolution, that is a cult of body at the cost of soul. Mechanical sex and worthless relationships, pretending to be family etc. For the other part I am Christian and I believe my life has turned out that way, not the other for a reason. I believe stable relationship with a woman is marriage and in my case only when my wife would be a virgin just like myself. I do not delude myself. There is virtually no chance for me to find such a woman in age range suitable for mating to me. I do not think love even exists at this point.

As you can see, I am a MGTOW because of some morality and principles I subscribe to, reinforced by the observation of events and conclusions flowing out of them. I hope there is a place for such users as myself here too.
