What is this really about

You don't get to define mgtow. Sounds an awful lot like you're trying to pull mgtow back to the plantation. There are a shit-load of nasty risks that come along with pump/dumping too. I'm celibate by choice, enjoy games, but I'm not angry. Why generalise? I'd rather not take the risks anymore after many scares and close calls. Can't dodge bullets forever. Let men do what they want to do.

I don't care if you fuck or not.

Almost exactly that. You spend your resources on you and don't enter into arrangements that don't benefit you or that you can't end. The only time I'll agree to something "not being what MGTOW is about" is if it's getting married or not prioritizing you and your needs over others.

If that means being "a sexless video game playing angry guy" then so be it. That's MGTOW in my book.

To me it means some pump & dump, until I get bored/too caught up in work/projects.

Some MGTOW are older than me or simply less inclined to have sex. They just got bored. Every year I get less interested in sex. I know several MGTOW who clearly have more testosterone in their system than me who have simply lost all interest in sex. I think when you are living a good life and have full days of exciting activities sex ends up low on the list of experiences that make life worth living.

Well, for me it's improving my career and becoming financially independent.

And with some luck I'll get there around 40, hopefully I'll have enough to work less yet have plenty to spend on whatever I want, be it health related or leisure related.

And you know, I just want peace of mind and stability. I had a rough upbringing so the prospect of having a stable life is very attractive me. I don't want to fuck that up with marriage or being "oops'd".

And sure, maybe he'll play video games, maybe I'll learn surfing or rock climbing. Maybe I'll get a pilot's license. Fuck, the possibilities are exciting.

That's exactly what I'm saying. I got blasted by a few people yesterday because I touched on this subject. I still think we should be bettering ourselves at all costs and still pump and dumping at every possible opportunity. I will still actively seek that kind of stuff out. I'll basically try to reverse their game on them. Either way I'm doing whatever the fuck I want and not getting married or giving resources to chicks ever again.

I am a guy who wanted a relationship and marriage. Sex came with those things. Not all guys just want to fuck women and leave them. However I realize that the deck is stacked against me so relationships are off the table. I just don't deal with women now. Pumping and dumping is not me and it's also a huge risk for rape accusations and possible pregnancies. I'm just lucky I can get by with masturbation. Most guys I know cant.

My understanding is: no cohabitation, no marriage.

Other than that, take peace of mind that every shaming tactic and advertising tactic of mainstream society is attempting to push you into committing to a woman so that you will be forced to play by its every rule and regulation for 20-25 years minimum and be a good boy for the system. Just ignore the false hype they offer.

CrustyMainer · 2017-03-02T20:20:20+00:00

Go your own way. Why the fuck is this concept so difficult to understand? Do what you see fit. Shit, a MGTOW could get married if he wanted to. That's the thing about MGTOW. A man going his own way, does what the man wants to do.

tribalbandit · 2017-03-02T20:21:06+00:00

The tenets are whatever you decide they are. It is about you doing things for you. It is now your time brother. That is what it is all about.

DJGrom · 2017-03-02T21:28:19+00:00

I get head from a woman every night after work, but I'm not gonna marry her :) just play it smart. If you know your resources are the carrot, dangle it. Get what you want, and snatch it away :)

It's been working for me :)

Mac290 · 2017-03-02T21:36:28+00:00

To me, this sub is about showing evidence (either thru facts or anecdotal stories of getting fucked over) that the path for your life that has been laid out is NOT the only way. It's not even the best way. It is, in fact, wrought with danger.

I'd compare what you're saying to owning a pit bull. They can be extremely loving and caring. Fun to play with. Loyal. Until that moment they decide to use those vice-like jaws and get on your neck. And now you're dead. Killed by your best friend.

On another note I do have to admit that I never used to think this way. I used to actually want to be the nice provider guy for my ex. I actually thought that was some kind of reward or goal of some sort. I think I was just conditioned to think that's what I was supposed to be. Thank God I'm not that retarded anymore. I don't want to be deceitful but I have NEVER met a chick that wasn't deceitful. And it gets worse every day with almost every chick I talk to. Entitled cunts is what they are. Why would I allow myself to be shit on? The goal is to mindfuck these bitches back into their place. Take the power back. And if it doesn't work out that way, at least I will know I ain't no fuckin sucker.

It's not a movement. It means something different to everyman. That's hard for people in this day and age to understand--independence.

Have sex; don't have sex. Be angry, don't be angry. We don't give a shit and have no leadership, strictures, tenants, or even a handbook.
