I had never even remotely come across the phrase "MGTOW" till an hour ago when I was going through the comment section for a YouTube video of women lecturing men how they should "behave" to be "deserving" of them.

I swore to myself that I wouldn't get into anything that could even remotely be considered a relationship years ago. It is very difficult, but I've stayed true to my promise (haven't gone monk, but close enough on purpose). I'm tired of being cheated on, backstabbed, called pathetic for being nice in general, played down for my lack of conformity, and blamed for all the bad ways women have treated me my entire life.

I guess the most difficult part was thinking that I was the only one walking down this road. You guys have no idea how much better I feel knowing that I'm not the only one living this life!
