MGTOW vs being asocial

Make it not a schism. Decide what's more important to you - not being awkward or not being disgusted. Then it's no longer a schism - one thing is more valued than the other.

What do you do when you can't have the cake and eat it? You decide to either have the cake and not eat it, or you eat the cake and not have it.

MGTOW is just one stand on one position (i.e. marriage/cohabitation with female). In all other respects, we tend to be more social towards our hobbies and interests. That's because it frees up the massive amounts of time from the usual female nonsense. For example, I did a bike tour yesterday with a friend (also a MGTOW). I wouldn't likely be able to do if I were not a MGTOW.

I don't have that "schism". Women are vapid, annoying, a liability, and a nuisance. There's a reason so many articles make it plain men can't be friends with women.

I regard socialisation as a necessary exercise to stay healthy. Conversations even with people who are crass and bigoted are good mental stimulation. It's not about winning or losing the argument,it's the engagement.

I have been a mgtow my whole life without knowing what it is or what the rules are. Shortly after I completely distanced myself for humanity I discovered this sub. I have no desire to be around anyone anymore, man woman child or senior citizen. Everybody has an ulterior motive, but women's agendas are the worst.

I went the misanthrope direction because my boss screwed me over and he stole all ,you money so trust me humanity is shit. One day a man will betray you as well and you'll see you need something like mgtow and misanthropy to protect you from everyone in the world who isn't you.

Turn your home into your fortress against the outside.

Men don't have friends. Boys can have friends because they are not expected to be independent functioning individuals in society.

Men cooperate, but it is conditional on getting back benefits that are better than what you put in. There has to be some kind of value-add.

There's nothing wrong with being alone for extended periods of time. Before cell phones and the internet, people would spend the better part of the working day doing things independently. Today, people get annoyed with you if you are unavailable at any moment to handle their request. The idea of email is even becoming "too slow."

Before the telephone, people lived incredibly isolated lives. Kids at college would be out of contact for days as letters made their way back and forth.

With early telephone service, long distance calls were very expensive. You simply didn't call home every day.

And the same applies to life before automobiles were common. Without cars, people outside of town, didn't see each other much outside of Sunday at church.

This is also why people are less civil now than they used to be. When you see people all the time, the interaction has less value.

So don't worry about it. If anything, you're seeing more people more of the time than you would have 50 and especially 100 years ago. You can't blame yourself if you've had enough of it already.

Since I read a lot about this whole mgtow thing and female nature in general, I am just so disgusted that I dont want to meet people anymore, but I know that I should because I would be totally awkward. People are just plain stupid and I am just not fitting in and to completely cut them off seems to be too harsh from my point of view - even they are stupid, sometimes it is just ok to be with them.

Train yourself on how to interact with other people, but set limits on interactions. There are dozens of books on interpersonal skills and small talk (available for free at your local public library or cheap on Amazon).

Find some people who share some interest you have and mingle with them to meet your social interaction needs.

look at them, smile at them, talk with them, tease them, flirt with them, laugh about em, just keep in mind "i go my way". i can promise you the day will come when you will just value your personal peace without them. Just dont get trapped till then . . .

If you feel awkward when interacting then I recommend reading and practice to improve your skills. The less you interact the harder it will be. As far as finding people that are intelligent in that they are open minded and think for themselves, I have no idea where to find them. Look for meet up groups that center around activities that interest you. You can usually see who attends and then avoid groups dominated by women.

I stopped looking for great friends that meet my every requirement. Now I look for people that meet the bare minimum who are activity friends. For instance I'll have a friend for watching movies, and a friend for working out.
