Hi brothers. I'm new here (although lurking for about a year), and I am far from new to MGTOW, which I first became aware of as a “recognized” lifestyle \ philosophy back in ohh… around 2011 when I stumbled on Nacho’s forum.

However, that imploded rather spectacularly, and I lurked on the two that rose from the ashes, one of which has since been closed off from the public, and the other later became a bit quiet.

Then there was MGTOW.com that seems to have become a bit quietly senile after a superb promising start; watching it die reminded me of HAL going insane in 2001. A big shame, as there were some fantastic contributors

I have just been lurker on the aforementioned forums, and finally decided to join one – here, on Reddit.

And a little about me with more to come – early 50s, bachelor, and truly loving it. Very happy I never married. To you youngins – I know it is difficult with all those hormones and mainstream indoctrination urging you to max out on sex and “love” etc. But believe me, it gets easier, and better.

Most friends I know who have a wife \ long term GF – the women are on various mental medications and shit. Imagine dealing, every single fucking day with a walking talking bundle of neurosis, and if you are very lucky, psychosis, babbling on, every single day about it. Yeeeesh…. When you think about it, it is the ultimate bait and switch; what mainstream society tries to sell us .v. what we find we wind up with if we buy. As i have read - many of you have been very experienced in dealing with this - I don't envy you.
