The average man doesn't need so much stuff. As long as he's able to afford his hobbies and eat, there's really not much else to desire for a MGHOW. Women, on the other hand, see little and immediately think I WANT MORE STUFF, irrespective of whether they need it or not.

My first apartment I bought some sheets and slept on the carpet. I was perfectly happy.

Nesting is a female thing.

Being ready to roll your life up into a rucksack and bounce is a man thing.

There is no issue, we're just different.

No nonsense minimalist life style. If you don't like it, you don't get it.

pizzasteak · 2018-12-14T00:45:33+00:00

seems pretty easy to vacuum. i'd get a projection tv and use the entire wall.

I will never understand materialists. They seem empty to me.

SneakyThrowawaySnek · 2018-12-14T00:34:46+00:00

WTF!!!

I like being surrounded by varnished wooden furniture, my books, my family history, my souvenirs from places I've been, my tastefully (imho) decorated house, my creature comforts, my music collection, and my piles of 'it'll come in handy one day' stuff.

TLDR: She is talking out of her arse.

It’s as if women don’t understand the difference between need and greed. I mean c’mon .. play some WoW and learn the difference.

I was helping out students figure out housing in the early 2000s. The dudes were fine in a 2x2 meter room with a window and hardly any space. The women needed duplex rooms with a "living area" and a "kitchen" and a "sleeping area".

Later on I saw pictures of one of the women's rooms. She had weird porcelain shit all over the place. I asked what is was for. "Design" But what is the purpose? "It's design" Do you put stuff in them? "No they don't open." So why do you have them? "It's design, geez, UGH."

A relative of mine is probably going to die in a couple years. I'll probably have to get rid of her "antiques" that she collected her entire life. Might be a grand total of 2000 bucks, maybe more... to have the garbage people take that shit out.

When I split up with a long-term ex a while back I sold or tossed out the stuff we had bought together (read: she picked it, I paid for it) for a nice clean start. My apartment looked exactly like this, minus the chair.

I got rid of a sectional couch and a "rustic" dining table from Macy's, the latter of which was probably used eight times in three years because it was 'too expensive to get dirty'. The bedroom set was a Japanese modern design Fujian bed, including matching dressers that held zero of my stuff. It looked like a cool porno bed but you'd bang your shins on the wooden platform all the time. Fuck that thing.

Persian-style rugs for the hardwood floors. Funky floor lamps from IKEA in every room, even though each one already had a light switch and overhead light. Useless "room accents" and knick-knacks from Sonoma Valley or Crate and Whatever the Fuck.

Mass produced paintings and prints. A giant fucking mirror with a lacquered wooden frame that was so heavy I had to hire a contractor to mount it. Nearly a dozen throw pillows. Matching curtains with fake rust-colored rods so they matched the exposed wood. All in all, maybe 10-15k+ worth of shit in a 2bed/2bath apartment.

My high school buddy was thinking of moving to my city for a new job but wanted to try it out first and asked if he could room with me. Dude's been single all his life but I warned him that the place was now spartan. He didn't care.

I moved my workstation and air mattress to one bedroom, and he bought a cot and tiny desk for his. We sat on the floor in the living room while watching TV or playing games. We ate our meals on a coffee table I made for a woodworking project. I set up my turntables in the back of the living room where the sectional couch used to be so we could spin records while smoking pot or enjoying a glass of Scotch. We turned the dining room nobody used into a gym with a weight bench, heavy bag, pull-up bar in the doorway, and boxing gloves.

The main dining room wall where that worthless mirror hung turned into the Adventure Zone where we mounted our rifles, shotguns, pistols, bows, fishing poles, and maps for the next hunting trips. No frills, no bullshit, and everything had a clear and practical use.

That shit was badass.

What's funny is that every chick we brought back from the bars thought we were crazy and had ideas on how to improve the place, along with a laundry list of things to buy and which stores to visit. As if we had any intention of having them back a second time, or their opinion on our living space even mattered. Our guy friends loved hanging out there, their girls hated it. Need a chair? Grab a plastic crate that used to hold my records, or a throw pillow that finally has a purpose.

Some context: my buddy and I were in our mid 30's at the time, well-established in our careers, and were both making great money. The place was perfect as it was and we could have easily bought all of that nonsense, but we didn't need it.

Then, after a year of awesome, we both fucked up got girlfriends...

Mephitus · 2018-12-14T00:43:59+00:00

I will bitch about his lack of cable management and that his TV is mounted a bit low for that chair viewing angle. For the sake of practicality I would also recommend a small table for the chair. Where else you going to set your beer and food?

I see no Dolby Atmos capability.

There's a high correlation between MGTOW and all the shades of minimalism. I'm all for low maintenance without sacrificing comfort, a case of getting the right balance of just enough.

red_dread_redemption · 2018-12-14T03:07:13+00:00

It's 2.5 years since a woman has cohabitated with me, and I still don't have a bed frame. No shits given.

tegs94 · 2018-12-14T02:58:08+00:00

Fucking so true

ohyoureligious · 2018-12-14T03:05:47+00:00

One word. Minimalist.

Greetings1 · 2018-12-14T08:14:42+00:00

Men often simplify their lifestyle to increase their happiness because intuitively we know there is no one out there itching to take care of us to solve our problems. Women do not have that problem. OP, your username is interesting. Do you have a West African background?

RJ850 · 2018-12-14T10:48:20+00:00

An older friend of mine years ago was dating and living with a woman his age. Both in their late 70s. They lived in her house together. Her husband died a few years earlier. She died of lung cancer. He was getting rid of her stuff and asked me to come over and see if there was anything I wanted. This woman had so much stuff that the house was crammed full. A lot of stuff she bought was still in the original package it came in never opened. Clothing she bought was hanging from the store hangers with price tags on them. They ended up donating a lot of it to charity and what was left was thrown away in a dumpster. A lot of the stuff thrown in the dumpster was still packaged in it’s store package and never used. Women are hoarders.

iVah1d · 2018-12-14T13:03:48+00:00

most likely this bitch never paid any rent her whole life.

greywolf1968 · 2018-12-14T15:50:22+00:00

This picture is the perfect illustration of why mgtow men are a threat to society. Our steadfast refusal to get into debt to buy pointless consumer crap means that we can't be controlled or manipulated. Many of us are living a minimalist lifestyle and are perfectly contented.We work only when necessary and take pleasure in simple things and we avoid all the problems that blue pillers have.We have lives of liberty property and sanity ,all brought to us by feminism. Who'd have thought it?

Disposable__Male · 2018-12-14T04:49:38+00:00

I sleep and live in an 8'x10' with my L-desk, office chair, and futon. I used to use a bigger room, but honestly less is more when it comes to floorspace. I like that it forces me to tidy up.

Loban8990 · 2018-12-14T13:33:05+00:00

Mine would look like this but I'd have a few shelves for my Dvds and Blu-rays.

Fantoche_Dreemurr · 2018-12-14T13:38:06+00:00

Looks like my first apartment. It was simple but it was my place and I loved the feeling of independence

boytjie · 2018-12-14T14:36:23+00:00

I was pretty minimalist. I spent many years travelling internationally (in my youth), owning only what I could carry in a backpack. I left a trunk with a friend in London where I unloaded all the ‘essential’ crap I couldn’t bear to be parted with when I was passing through. I looked in it the other day and it was full of tatty clothes with sentimental value and ‘cultish’ books (I remember Watership Down was one and Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance).

It is very cheap to travel if you have no debt or expensive habits. Even working a crap job will give you enough for a plane ticket and a bit of change within a couple of months. Think – no baggage (emotional or otherwise) and no debt. Twenty-four hours notice. This is not scrimping and living like a pauper either (neither is it living high, wide and handsome). It can be done if you’re not bogged-down in commitments and debt.
