Do you ever get... lonely?

Get a dog.

Have a forever girlfriend. Meaning you wont have kids via condom/vasectomy/IUD. Depending on your age it can last for a few years. You can do the family get together and vacations till she finally finds someone's to marry. Then you repeat the process. I've done this twice. My buddy has done this for 10 years

Your brain is confusing sexual drive and hormones with love.

People who can differentiate this - and there are a lot who can't - will find that women no longer have a hold on them.

If you think you’re lonely now, wait til you’re married.

There’s not a person or a creature on this earth that does anything solely for the good of others. Life is selfish and love is just an animalistic instinct and therefore a part of life. There’s nothing wrong with that, you want to get married to somebody who will make you happy and with any luck you’ll make them happy too. But there’s no shame in feeling like you’re doing it for yourself, MGTOW all the way friend

Hang out with some friends out there. Train, read, play, learn a new hobby. The key is to keep busy

Don't get caught-up in the dream.

You know, dating is okay buddy. Most others on here might be full blown “no women allowed”, but a lot of us just don’t want to be tied up in the legal system via marriage or kids.

All I would advise is that if you do decide to date and still very much espouse MGTOW views, set yourself some solid rules first. Such as “No sex without protection”, “I’m only willing to spend X on this person”, “If I suspect she’s not faithful or looking to monkey-branch, then I’ll block her number, etc”.

Just remember it’s your life and Go Your Own Way. That doesn’t mean be a celibate monk. Seek out what makes you happy and figure out what you’re not willing to compromise on first.

No, never.

Fairfax_Cary · 2020-02-17T04:46:20+00:00

Of course I get lonely, but a woman is no solution to that problem. Being with an unpleasant person is worse than being lonely.

Exactly_what_I_think · 2020-02-17T06:37:09+00:00

I would rather be lonely while alone then go back to being lonely while in a relationship.

Marriage is nothing more than a contract; a contract where you sign away your property and your rights to the whims of whatever tingles your partner might or might not be feeling that day. Marriage isn't the answer for any man in the current zeitgeist. Regardless of if you're feeling lonely or not, never get married. Ever. Just don't do it, please.

On the other hand, companionship is certainly a real thing. It is healthy to have companionship. If you're so inclined, maybe seek an escort (if you can skirt around the legality of this), or at least get a pet that will keep you company. There are ways of filling the void of missing companionship.

I don't necessarily get lonely but I do get nostalgic. That's when I know it's time to give myself a good slap across the face and cut that shit out. I know better. Experience has taught me too well. The world will tell you to follow your heart, but don't do it. It's a trap.

2020-02-17T03:33:40+00:00

go skateboarding or surfing

Jetleg26 · 2020-02-17T04:22:44+00:00

I get this feeling all the time, but I've come to the realization that as a man you're not entitled to it.

It's better to forget about it.

johnph240472 · 2020-02-17T04:49:56+00:00

There is a void that you need to fill with exciting projects,hobbies and interests.Learn new things to keep yourself occupied.Your lizard brain wants you to seek out females and it takes effort to get over this impulse but it gets easier.

I still get the urges sometimes but I remind myself what it's like going down that rabbit hole and I come to my senses (so far anyway).

thatMGTOWguy · 2020-02-17T06:40:50+00:00

You’re not selfish, you have needs. Physical, psychological, social and emotional

CrossfadeAMV · 2020-02-17T08:28:01+00:00

Nope. Sorry, I just cannot connect with you over this. For me people (male or female) who need others to feel complete are a foreign land.

VagabondLonewolf · 2020-02-17T09:21:30+00:00

Well you could order and escort as well.

keeperteeper · 2020-02-17T15:36:50+00:00

Honestly when I feel like this I just pump and dump, then 3 months later when I feel the same I do it again

Invduck77 · 2020-02-17T21:27:59+00:00

People will mess up what you have. The longer you stay away the better your life will be. You find yourself surrounded by what you like, what you want to eat, what you want to do. You don’t need anyone, they will just screw you over. Also get a pet.
