Tonight I went for a long walk in the city. I do that often, it's great an done of the perks of living in Manhattan. When I do that I like to watch and observe architecture, interesting stores, urban landscape and people interacting with other people. And I think about all sort of stuff, from work to hobbies to life's mysteries.

And tonight I was thinking about MGTOW and I was looking back at my relationships with women (I've had quite a few and quite different flavors of relationships) and there's an MO that's often recurring: the duality of either being a victim or being the-best-there-is. There's not middle of the ground, they go from "I'm the best and I'll prove you" and then - when confronted with, you know, facts - they go into victimhood: "patriarchy" etc...

And that's not a "female" behavior, that's a sociopath / narcissist . gaslighting behavior. And being on the receiving side of it, it's - by all means - abuse.

I've got it made, I consider myself a MGTOW member although I have 1 FB/FWB for, you know, sex. I am financially stable, I like my present job enough (temp consulting gig) and I have a small company as my "job/career" which I love although the cash flow is not much, yet. Working on it, and still "enough" for my very-low-overhead lifestyle.

So, there it is, sorry but not sorry for rambling all over the place for such a short post; what' are you going to do? Complain?
