I have been following MGTOW for a while now and while I agree with its philosophy I also feel that some men, including myself, are hard wired to need female companionship. Whether it was engrained from youth or biological I’m not sure, however, in spite of that I have tried to go my own way and develop myself as a person and pursue my own interests.

That being said, I was married for 12 years and since my divorce 2 years ago I have had memberships with several online dating sites and even joined a local singles club/organization for a time. However, in that time I have not had any dates since no women have shown any interest in me or my profiles. It’s discouraging to say the least. There have been times I had thoughts about suicide because the day to day loneliness felt too much to handle. I don’t think I could ever do it though, I have kids from my marriage I would be leaving behind and that would be quite traumatic for them.

I guess I feel I am at a loss. I have no idea what to do and while going my own way is entertaining and passes the time, it hasn’t brought me any happiness. Any advice?
