Night shift master race checking in! Nothing more fun than going shopping for steak and potatoes at 8 a.m. when I get off while everyone else is buying donuts and bullshit

it's so nice to not have anyone in your way

That's the best thing. The ability to do what you want, when you want. The other day I went to the cinema to watch Logan. Everyone was asking me who are you going with but I wanted to see it alone and they were kind of shocked as though that's something you can't do.

I like snowboarding alone. So peaceful, I go where I want when I want. The exception is when I board with my brother, cause we like to board the same terrain.
Before my marriage ended I started skiing with my wife. Holy hell. Want to destroy a perfect day on a mountain? Take your wife with you.

Watching movies by myself is actually become a very enjoyable hobby for me. No more waiting for flaky people, deciding on a place to go and date/time. I go when I want, to see what I want.
People can't comprehend that you'd do something by yourself like this.
Saw Fate and the Furious in gold class today, really enjoyed it.

No having to fucking explain what JUST HAPPENED to someone more concerned with their phone than the movie. That there is well worth it.

Before my last ex I used to go to the movies on my own all the time. I loved it. It was my little escape from everything.
I'd go again but a movie hasn't grabbed me in a while.

I actually prefer festivals and concerts on my own. I've been to heaps.
Like you I usually make friends while there. You'll see other people on their own or just start talking to a group.

I got stood up twice going to the movies, it was after the second time I realized watching the movies on my own was the most fun I've ever had. I don't have to worry about paying for anyone but myself. I can leave for the movie anytime I want. I can leave the movie if I don't like it. Freedom is awesome!
[–]coqui252 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You can do it, but I am not paying to see an overpriced movie.
I've never really understood people who need company to do things or just to sit in a room with. I like being alone just as much as I like good company. I consider myself the best friend I have and he always does what I like and never complains :)

Oh, working nights is the best. Don't forget to take vitamin D3 supplements though.

Also a lone ranger here; holidays, raves, days out to the beach.
That is mostly circumstantial though as I've simply given up trying to arrange anything with BP friends. At my ages (33) I have absolutely nobody left to call on for a night out or holiday or anything.
The roads are absolutely shocking in the UK, to go anywhere during the day is a complete waste of a day because of the traffic, bad driving and road designed made to slow you to a crawl, so I also do my shopping, etc, in the middle of the night to minimise my exposure to mouth breathers.

Someone should start a group where mgtows can meet each other

Grocery shopping in the middle of the night is so much fun! If you have a good 24-hour store, you can even get yourself some oysters or frozen lobster and boil up a seafood meal in the middle of the night.
It's fun, like being in a dream almost. And the place I go to always has rarely-heard 80's-style music playing in the store. Perfect atmosphere. If it's not real late, you can also go to the fast food drive-through, or go to a gas station for snacks.
If you aren't a night person who can enjoy time spent by yourself, it might be hard to understand what I'm talking about. But there's just something fun about it. It's a bit like still being in college, with people being awake at all time of the day and night. Of course, you have to have a job for which you are able to be up that late.
There's a form of peacefulness too. I never really saw myself as still being a late-night person, at this stage of my life. I guess I thought I'd at least be married. Ha ha. But, what I finally learned about dating was, as far as I could tell, all that really mattered was what I looked like. So I would only go so far in dating -- so why bother with an unfair system.
With MGTOW, you no longer fall into the traditional lifestyle. It is a bit like being in college forever. You CAN have lobster in the middle of the night. As long as you can fit things in with your job. Even with traditional jobs, you generally have the weekend off. So, you can play video games all night, or watch a whole season of a TV show, all night long on Friday night.
It's too bad that I don't have a partner that can experience all this freedom and fun with me, but it's simply not my fault. I tried. In fact, I should have quit dating way sooner than I did. When I dated, years ago, I hadn't heard of MGTOW. And the mainstream just covers up how poor a typical guy's chances are of having a romantic relationship that he would want. Because of that, I guess a lot of us guys have to waste time for YEARS.
But no more illusions for me. I think the next best thing to having what you dreamed of, is to understand that you can't have what you dreamed of because it doesn't exist, and why it doesn't exist. There's a certain satisfaction to at least understanding why.
With clear eyes and a clear mind as to what can only be a dream, and what is reality, I'll save the dream world for how the empty stores seem dream-like when I shop in the middle of the night. :-)

There's a song about being alone called "Splendid Isolation," which I suggest be added to any Official MGTOW Playlist. It's by Warren Zevon, the guy who sang the song "Werewolves of London."
Other songs I suggest for MGTOW:
"Ridin' Solo" - Jason DeRulo
"Wrong" - Waylon Jennings
"You Can Go Your Own Way" - Fleetwood Mac (of course)

Sounds like the narrative for a mgtow comic.
