The anger you feel is definitely real. But it won’t last forever. We all came to MGTOW for our own reasons & I’ve spoken to others in the same boat as me, so this message is for them.
You should be grateful she left you, but not for the negatives. Sure, be grateful you don’t have to put up with her shit anymore; the expectations, the double-standards, the inanity, the selfish entitlement.
But be grateful that they have given you this opportunity.
Look around you. How many friends, fathers & brothers can you see trapped inside their invisible cages. They seem stressed, rung-out & when you go for drinks there’s pain behind their eyes. A lot of men my age are lost. They know something is wrong with them, but they can’t seem to find the right words to express it.
You have come this far & I urge you to keep going. Don’t stop. Once the anger abates, which it will, then the journey really begins; exercise, work ethic, self-examination, growth & integrity. These are not buzzwords - they’re real & they are attainable through hard work, openness & honesty.
So be grateful they made you look at your life another way. The gratitude might help you move through the anger & into a more fulfilling existence. Once you stop living for other people & begin living for yourself - everything changes.
MGTOW has it’s extremes - but these mean nothing. The anger-phase has the loudest voice, which is why these communities are filled with angry messages. It doesn’t matter. Once it fades for these men, they’ll be replaced by more & more angry voices. Remember this line - the universe is indifferent. The anger phase is a choice. You don’t realise it when you’re there, but you can leave whenever you want to. Seek advice from mentors & literature to help with this (read the sidebar.)
The real gems of the MGTOW community are you guys - the silent ones. The ones that check back every now & again, but are content with their place in the world. The ones with humility, who play the hands they’re dealt without excuses, without compromising their goals & character. So I think we should be grateful.
Time for a drink :)

I'm relatively young (24) and I'm fortunate enough to not have had my life screwed over by a female, but I have always been a hopeless romantic. So for me the anger stems from the dream crushing realization that AWALT.

This is bullshit. The only annoyance I feel is from someone assuming I was ever angry or someone left me. Stop pushing that trope. MGTOWs arent all ronry rosers.

I'm way beyond the anger phase but I still post on social media to remind people of how things are.
Sadly this gets misconstrued as me being in the anger phase. Either defense mechanism (I guess?) or angry feminists being feminists.
I've thought about quitting the "evidence of gynocentrism gone awry" posts but I also feel like that's what feminists want - to shut us up so that they can continue poisoning and monopolizing the discourse. Propaganda works best without freedom of expression, after all.
How would you handle it, fellow gentlemen? Shut up for the sake of appearances, or continue on your crusade?
