I just say "yeah that lifestyle isn't for me. I got better stuff to do"

Seems to get them thinking about their own lives/relationships.

Good opportunity to drop the “you can either love em or understand em, and I understand em”

Why would some random dude even ask that? I think in that situation the best answer is "Sorry bro, I'm not into dudes." Then he'll be on the defensive "I wasn't hitting on you..." or he'll admit that he was hitting on you and it will be awkward.

I generally feed the illusion. People aren't trying to wake up and smell the coffee, especially if they are in the gym for the purpose of 'getting bitches'.

Most people I know well or ended having up that conversation with, either share my views, or the ones in relationships are jealous of the lifestyle I lead.

its none of their business, and you look like an angry cunt when you say it like that. i just say "i enjoy being single"

tribalbandit · 2017-11-04T07:10:12+00:00

I always say I prefer being my own boss.

"There is only room in my bed for me and my waifu pillow".

Although true, I would more likely say that I'm still searching / haven't found the one yet / or that I'm hopeless boyfriend material.

Him: "Still single?"

You: "Yup"

Him: "Why?"

You: "Still looking"

Don't volunteer any info relating to MGTOW, give short, vague answers. If he keeps pressing, change the subject after a response.

"Yeah bro, life is good living as a free man...how's the ball and chain treating you?"

Sol_Install · 2017-11-04T08:02:03+00:00

Okay, I'll tell you want to do. Remember people are stupid and expect everyone to follow the herd and that women are to only be spoken about in a positive manner and men are to blame for everything. So I'll say it again: Use their own shaming tactics as your defense.

I'm immature and won't grow up.
Yep. I'm just mad that I don't get laid.
Yeah man. You know how we men are. Entitled perverts.
I'm selfish and only spend my money on myself.
My dick is too small

That's it. Any form of shaming that you've heard? Make that your weapon.

Cuck-WTF · 2017-11-04T09:56:19+00:00

My go to is: "I have no value in the eyes of women."

The follow ups are simple: "I've failed and I've had victory, I've compared the costs. The cost of victory is staggering."

I say I gave up.

That is more PC usually and people understand if they are normal or MGTOW. If they are normal they kinda rationalize how bad I am obviously and that I can't get any girl and they are better and I'm not competing with them. If they are MGTOW they kinda hint it and we tell each other stories.

"The gene for Huntingtons Disease runs in my family which means there's a 50% chance that I will die prematurely having been rendered demented and immobile. I dunno if I carry this gene but I'm certain that no good woman would want a liability like me should I carry it.And it wouldn't be fair to her anyway. So I'm happy just doing what I want, how I want and when I want before that fate may befall me". I found this to be an effective response to both men or women who pose that question as I smirk inside at their looks of pity or supercilious relief.

SamCasey98 · 2017-11-04T07:13:14+00:00

I tell em I am MGTOW. One possible response is "what's that"? Answer - Check it out Google it. Not something I can explain in the time we have. Another possible response "Oh you hate women". Answer "Nope you ignorant fuck. Educate before you pontificate. Google it hayseed. I don't have time to educate a dip stick."

CeleritySteam · 2017-11-04T13:08:55+00:00

"Heeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllll no!"

When they invariably remark that's an extreme response:

"You're right, I shouldn't extremely downplay it."

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccck no!"

This naturally prompts the question of why.

Carpet bomb with truths about financial health and free time. Hit him rapid fire for 15-30 seconds. Abruptly walk away while they're still processing.

DWShimoda · 2017-11-04T17:10:27+00:00

How do you respond?

"No point in buying the boat dude, much less hassle to just rent it by the hour."

(Then "drop mic" & walk away.)

logophiliac · 2017-11-04T19:17:48+00:00

I'm short and I wear three rings on my ring-finger, so I never hear this question.

veLiyoor_paappaan · 2017-11-04T18:16:31+00:00

I'd just say "yeah" and continue with whatever I was doing before the question was asked.

Option 2: Meh, nah, no option 2. My forst response stands.

Edited to add: Or, just to mess with him, "yeah, wanna fuck?"
