Never posted in MGTOW before, here goes. I ran into a few MGTOW videos in the past month or two, and I've never had any exposure to this group... ever! Things I've lived for the past 30 years have been welling up the collective of male thought, globally? Really? Something that I can relate to? These are the events that got me to where I am today:

1) Extremely horrible experience growing up, and hearing my mom threaten my Dad with divorce. The constant broken record.... who needs that. I remember other kids at school, all talking about how their parents got a divorce. Some kids were living in apartments with their single mothers. I was in a house, I thought how horrible it must be to live in a place without a yard. This molded my early ideas about marriage.

2) The early arguments about how my Dad had to stay married in order to keep the house? Wow, what an education.

3) Before the age of 18 I recognized how religion kept all members of my extended family at odds with each other. The Mormon branch of the family was at odds with the Jehovah's Witnesses. This taught me, early on, that if you get involved with a girl, and she takes a notion to join some hate church, you could be screwed (in other ways).

4) It was when I was 24'ish, and on a construction job. Every person sitting around on break was separated from their wives, and paying some type of bill. This clued me in to the probability of success in marriage, and considering my home life... wow!

I was so cautious about what can happen if you accidently get a female pregnant, I wore condoms any time I had sex. I was extremely careful about what can happen to you, financially, should you get reckless with sex.

So here I am. I am at an age where some women who are, or have been married, they think I'm an alien from some other planet. I don't relate to them, and they don't relate to me.

I will take this a step further. They like to delusionalize things that don't exist about me, get all negative about the life I've chosen. I could go on, but I don't dwell on this 'single' choice I've made. It is just how things are, and its no big deal for me.. it is a bigger deal for women who can't relate to it.

I wrote this part, deleted it... and am writing it again. Has my life been better off? I believe it has. I also believe I would have been ruined financially had I gotten married, or been reckless about not wearing condoms. I've managed to accomplish some remarkable things in my life. I've had a major impact on global public safety issues (don't wish to discuss the details). These positive impacts upon society were accomplished, knowing fully well that I might lose my job. It is common for a problem solver to lose their job, that's just how it is. If you do something remarkable, people get all upset, and attack you for your societal contribution. Had I been married, and with kids? I would have thought of them first, and not made any positive contribution to the world. I'm not the only person who has discovered this connection, and I won't be the last.

One thing in our culture that I find disappointing is how women judge men because I've never been married. I've met at least one young lady who thought it was wrong of me to never have gotten married, and was so against my not having gotten married, I asked her the following question... so had I gotten married, and been divorced 1, 2, 3 times... would that make me a better man than the guy who never got married at all? Her answer was Yes! I than asked.. .what about a guy who solves some major human issue, dedicates their life to a cause, and that cause makes life more enjoyable for those who do have families? She wanted non of this 'nonsense' (her perspective). From her perspective, if you never married, you are second class.

This, and other similar female insanities is why I don't even go out anymore. I don't feel like I'm missing anything. It is peaceful here now. Having grown up in a house where arguing went on for the entire time I was awake, this is nice, this is peace.
