Effects of a low stress life. Yes.

How it feels when you no longer have to walk on egg shells

It is amazing when you realize the primary contributor of stress in men is women. All it takes to be happy is to stop caring about them and their "happiness". Welcome and I hope you enjoy going your own way!

Who cares about normality. Sounds like bliss!

HansKrinkelSchneider · 2018-07-21T18:11:57+00:00

Yea. I've been moving towards a more minimalist life. I only listen to mellow, relaxing music. Limit my hobbies, go for walks, stay out of idiotic drama, cut connections with toxic people. Turn off mass media, etc.

It's not worth the stress anymore.

You got that stupid fantasy that girls are where happiness comes from in life out of your head. Frees a man like crazy. Still trying to get there myself....

Porn doesn't really effect me like it used to.

I noticed this as well. I care about it way less than I used to.

Totally normal. Once you realize you're in charge of your own life and look within for happiness, it's like a weight is lifted off your shoulders.

My blood pressure is down too, and I was trying to think of what might have changed. MGTOW was the only difference. Just realized this, thanks bro.

Apaullo35 · 2018-07-21T23:40:19+00:00

I feel the same with porn. Masturbation is still a bad habit, but there isnt anything I want to look for.

Not pursuing women reduced life’s difficulties by over 75%. -unknown

Sir_manalot · 2018-07-22T01:29:42+00:00

You are disillusioned.

Women aren't as sexy now that you know what us behind the pleasure.

Happened to me too.

everythingisatoms · 2018-07-22T03:48:00+00:00

Yes it’s normal. It’s called the Not-Giving-A-Fuck lifestyle.

Mchooofer · 2018-07-22T16:36:48+00:00

Yes lndeed. I experienced the same release from my addictions.. the very reason I needed my fixes was because I believed that I would wasn't enough as I was.

I got married before finishing my bachelors. I sent my then wife at the time on vacation to her parents place far away from me. My grades shot back up to a 4.0. She came back. I literally almost failed a class and had to drop it.

Women are a shitty mess.

2018-07-22T00:41:26+00:00

Porn still does it for me. I know I never have to deal with any of them IRL.

HansKrinkelSchneider · 2018-07-22T04:41:55+00:00

OP, I forgot to mention a few things, but here is my take so far...

Porn doesn't really effect me like it used to

I'm actually ok with porn, as long as it's in a moderation, or light use. I've gone more of a 'can live at least 5 days without stroking it/using porn' and also looked into somewhat of the 'no-fap' type deal, but not in a religious sense, or breaking a habit, or being hardcore about the whole 'no-fap'. For me, it was looking at the concepts of testosterone, and the physical/hormonal level of just 'letting it be'. Just seeing how my energy level is, etc. Also, it might be because of my age as well, that my sex-drive/hormonal levels are dropping off, and at 40+, I've kinda gotten into the 'meh' on beating the meat/chasing women for tail, etc. I've found other stuff to keep me preoccupied. I don't suggest 100% no-fap, sometimes it's better to go celibate for a few days and let your juice build up.

my blood pressure has dropped (for the better)

Every time I go into the docs office/psychiatrist practitioner and have my blood pressure taken, I've always been told it is really good. And that's after years of tobacco (cigarette) use. Granted, I've layed way back on smokes, but still. I always get good comments on my blood pressure, and, as I mentioned above, post 40+ you need to keep an eye on that, and not let your life stress knock you out. I probably get more stress from dealing with a narcissistic mother than any other women out there, but overall, just keeping my relationships with my brothers and niece has been far less stressful, and helps with the blood pressure. I also only drink water/ice water and black coffee for the most part. Low on diet soda consumption (no more than 1 per day, IF that), and take regular walks. So I'm sure that helps alot.

Anyway, I know I'm a little late to the post, but just wanted to add some extra input. I'm also around 5'11" height wise, and around 175-180 lbs and I have shed quite a few pounds over the years. One final thing, I don't drink alcohol. No alcohol for me for at least 10+ years. Just something to think about, considering the long term effects on the body from alcohol use.

Solstus22 · 2018-07-22T08:10:34+00:00

When you realize that you CAN cut certain things out of your life (that people kept telling you it was a matter of life and death), then yes its normal. Take it from the MGTOWs who live their lives for themselves.
