It Certainly Has

This is actually a pretty common Misrepresentation of the poem. You need the whole thing for the context.

It pretty much means that we justify our actions by saying we took the better Road, but we don't actually know what's on the other road. We just tell ourselves that to feel better

Wow I never thought of MGTOW as a " road less traveled" but it absolutely is

One of my all time favorite quotes.

From my understanding from learning about that poem at some point, the moral of it was that he had a harder time on the road less travelled and it ended up not being a road at all. The path less travelled becomes more and more undefined until it is one with the environment. It is a nonexistent path because no one is him at that point at time in regards to decisions.

Once he got to that point, he looked around and couldn’t see the other road any more. That was because both are untravelled; no one is you to have made that choice at that point in time. So all decisions that you make won’t ever be the exact same as others. The roads in the beginning looked different because because more people took that initial direction.

This is a lot more overthinking when the normal interpretation suits MGTOW perfectly. My comment here is a big IIRC and would appreciate it if anyone else learned about it and want to straighten out anything I have here. Sorry for a long comment, but this topic in particular is fun to think about.

One of my favorite quotes and I've always lived my life by it.
