New MGTOW Advice

Naah. Read about scuba diving, model making, trail walking, cooking, LARPing or anything else you are interested in but that you've never tried before. MGTOW is about you and what you want to do and what you want to be. If political education is your thing then that list might be a start but focus on where you want to end up. Men are more about doing than anything else. I admit I get more satisfaction from the books I wrote than the books I read.

Go your own way. If you want to read philosophers then go do so. If you want to watch Game of Thrones in your boxers for the fourth time, go do that. The whole point of MGTOW is that you do whatever it is you love and not what someone else tells you to.

Imho Nietzsche is a bad example, he went crazy at the end of his life and thought he was jesus or god. He couldn't get laid because he was unwilling to shave his mustache, went to a brothel and contracted an STD which messed him up.

My favourite philosopher is Albert Camus, read his books like The Stranger. Camus was an MGTOW/Player, just enjoys his life without any baggage bullshit, kinda like Charles Bukowski.

My ranking of fav philosophies: Absurdism (Albert Camus), Epicureanism (Epicurus), Stoicism (Epictectus), Libertarianism/Objectivism (Ayn Rand)

I agree. don't just rely on "bitch of the week" mra stories to fuel the red pills. There is a lot very intelligent material on gender dynamics that blow the shit on this subject out of the water. I only come here for the funny stories on feminism that I would never find time to read on my own.

Don't give advice, unless asked ;)

(Save yourself some headache that way, especially since said headaches often come from stupid and stubborn people)

Hi.

First off, let's put things out of the way. I'm the guy who called you out last time. And reading more of your comments, I believe I might have jumped the gun and judged too harshly. Let me explain why.

I'm here this time to agree with you: I think this is very good advice. The books you recommend are indeed eye-opening and thought-provoking. They help the maturation process.

Where I disagreed with you was the entire notion that this is a brotherhood that needs to fight the good war together. When you mention

"It's about self actualization and being the man potential you have."

then I totally agree. Organically, like-minded people will bond and share a similar path. However, when one puts his personal interests in the mix of things about how this should be or not be, that's where I very much disagree. How people end up before/after reading these literary works is basically out of anyone's control (and really never was) except their own.

User My-Name-Is-No_one puts it very eloquently when he mentions

"Don't give advice, unless asked ;)".

I believe there is a lot of truth to this. The links are already there in the sidebar. The knowledge is out there. If someone is interested in growing up and seeks advice, they post (and we have seen this a few times now on this sub).

I think your post is a good beacon/reminder that these gold mines of quality content shouldn't be dismissed. But as you mention to user Jargonoid

"Thing about advice is that you can take it or leave it."

That's the truth of it. Advice is simply that: advice. Whatever happens next shouldn't shape or alter your own expectations.

Please understand that it's up to them to walk the path or not. That's the very core of respect.

Expecting respect because you became MGTOW before them, and out of generosity are giving advice to free them further will, IMO, only set you up for disappointment. The reason is simple: they never asked for it. I understand you have good intentions, but let them grow up by themselves, and perhaps some will grow, realize their own mistakes and try to make amends.

Mentioning sources of high quality knowledge is a good reminder and I think no one loses from this.

Peace out.

Nah. Learn only from this forum. New thoughts from regular joes have the most value.
