I've looked at a number of the side links and I'm not sure I fully understand.

Quick back story: Wife of 22 years decided she didn't want to be married any more and left my 3 kids and I. Shortly after, she contacted me about more time with the kids because, and I quote, "I need at least 146 night/yr with them" which just happens to be the magic number for 50/50 custody and support.

I make 6 figures. She makes $11/hr and works part time, so I'm getting raked terribly in court.

About me: Not terribly attractive but I'm able to date relatively decent looking women, but not really finding women that are "take home to mom" types. This dating rotation is not my style at all, but I work from home 100% and online dating is my only way of meeting women.

So, that brings me to why I came in here. I hate the power that women seem to have over men. Maybe i'm jaded from it being 100% online dating, but women are just flat out using me for nights out or whatever and then toss me aside because they get bombarded with new offers on their app. It's the "next best thing" deal.

What I want to know about MGTOW is this:

Are you choosing to go solo 100%? If so, how on earth do you cope with the human companionship desires that plague us? If that's not the case, then what is the approach to women in the dating sense?

I could go on and on but that's my current hang up. I desire women terribly, need companionship, but I HATE being used and treated poorly. I will freely admit that I feel like men are giving them this power and then paying for it through the shit behavior we see back, but maybe I'm wrong and I'm totally here to see what your views are on it.

Thanks
