From a link in the side bar:

Assuming you really do want to see this positive life-affirming advice, self-empowerment stuff, and aren't just saying it to troll us, just how do you think anyone gets to that place?

There are tremendous success stories here, great bits of advice, positive affirmations of MGTOW to other MGTOW, and good news of success. All through this subreddit. But in order to find these things, you have to first understand what this subreddit is about, and how we go about getting you to where you want to be.

This sub, r/MGTOW, isn't some phony, PR-designed sales pitch to show you the wonderful life you will have if you just take the redpill and go your own way. If that's what you are looking for, a sales pitch to convince you that we hold the secret to your unlocked potential, a perfectly polished façade that shares stories about bungie jumping, selfie moments, loads of cash, bikini-clad pumps and dumps on beaches, retirements by 40, and all of that crap, go to the PUAs on r/TheRedPill. They'll give you all the "positivity" you want, and it's just as easy as "up your game bro," with a rote list of things you need to do ("lift bro," "STEM bro," "neg, bro," "antifragile bro," etc.). In fact, they are so into positivity there, if you even dare suggest--even hint--that something is wrong, you'll get called out ("That's not how an alpha talks, bro," "read Gorilla Mindset bro," "that's how betas talk, bro").

If you are a man who needs to be sold on an idea by the number of happy, successful, testimonials made on the idea's behalf, then I am sorry to say that r/MGTOW might not be the sub for you, and that going your own way might not be what you are looking for. Full stop. If you don't like the "negativity" or the "hate about women" or the "bitterness" or "bitching about dating and marriage," then I don't think you realize what is going on in here, and why it's necessary here.

When you say "I don't understand how MGTOW is good for men, because all I see are negative threads and complaints about women," you are saying something akin to "I don't understand how this hospital is good for health, because all I see are diseases and injuries here."

This is a hospital for the male spirit. It is NOT a hospice for the male spirit, designed to make you comfortable, like r/ForeverAlone. Nor is it a plastic surgeon for the male spirit, designed to form you into the shape that you aren't, to get you the things you think you ought to be getting, like r/TheRedPill.

This is a hospital, a place to heal you and send you on your way. As such, it is a place where you will see ugly things. You will see savage illnesses here. You will see disgusting things here. And you will see painful things here. And if you go through the treatment,you too might become one of those disgusting things, those savage things, those ugly things.

But those of us who have been around the hospital for awhile, and even some bright young interns who are studying hard, we became physicians of the male soul, and you can see the work we do in the threads. Some of our methods of healing you are, themselves, sickening, disgusting, cruel, and perhaps sad; they involve toxic substances and are unfit to do in environments outside of here. But they are necessary if we are to get you on your way, your own way, so you can live your male life in good health from here on forward. Perhaps you will want to practice here as well, but it is often an unrewarding experience, to be honest.

It's unrewarding for the same reasons psychiatry is unrewarding, or law is unrewarding: we only ever see our patients when they are at their lowest point. When we get them to a state where they can be these positive, successful, life affirming and adventuresome people, they aren't here. They are out in the world going their own ways, without the illness of gynocentric-induced disease weighing them down. They are free to be the men they are, which may differ significantly from the man they thought they wanted to be.

See, we aren't in the business of selling you on why you should go your own way. We can't do it, because it is about going your own way, not the way of whatever you think your own way ought to go. We can't promise you success, or popularity, or loads of pussy, or any of that. We can't, because we don't know you, and not only that, we aren't even sure if you know yourself.

But if it's one thing I know about this sub, r/MGTOW, we have little patience for PR, positivity cults, idealistic notions, or BS. We are into the reality of the situation, knee deep in the bones and guts of it all, and it ain't pretty. It doesn't always even have a good outcome.

But at the end of the day, we save lives. And if we get called a bunch of bad names, and cast as a bunch of negative people, posting negative things, so be it. Because the work we do here is work that needs to be done.

This sub is therapy for us, so fuck off if you don't like it.

I got a lot of negative votes when telling a dude a female waiter does not affect his business when dining so stop trying to make it a big deal...
