After reading some of Milo's responses in his AMA on /r/theredpill i got the impression his advise to average men is to "keep your head down and wait" - whilst people like Milo clear a path through the crazy.

Semi-tangentially I live in a sort of stealth mode and i'm wondering how many others of you are out there?

How many MGTOW's have girlfriends (or even wives) but are aware enough to benefit from some of it's ideals? Like religion, a diluted form of MGTOW is much more palatable to the average John.

I found MGTOW whilst in a relationship (someone posted a link as a reply to an /r/deadbedrooms post i made). MGTOW gave me a lot of things to think about. The posts about female nature made sense (for the most part). The posts about looking out for yourself first had obvious appealed.

However, it didn't make me want to leave my girlfriend but it did make me reassess the division of finances, labour, time and other resources inside the relationship.

I now buy sex when i need it. I ignore my GF's constant complaints and problems and never try and help her fix anything. I tell her "no" more than "yes".

I use her for social situations and status points. She's quite cute and as an IT worker has helped me seem more "normal".

I'm not really a believer in /r/theredpill or any PUA stuff. It all sounds like a waste of effort. When my current relationship ends i would probably avoid another.
