This really deserves its own post.

You shouldn't really be representing, to begin with. Obviously, it goes without saying OP wasn't wrong and those of us who've been here long enough know exactly how MGTOW got hijacked by incel and "meninism". But you should not let that concern you.

To be honest, I've never been ok with MGTOW being some kind of movement. Frankly, it's ridiculous. There's no need to represent, we don't wear shirts and there's no club nor leadership. Even the fate of MGTOW should be no concern to you.

I feel it's almost my duty to point out a few things.

At the very core, there is you, who has become disenfranchised with society in some way shape or form. Mostly because 90% of you out there (including myself) were sold on this Disney dream, simply unrealistic for the masses.

To continue, in this cookie cutter world, you might even have to go to a job you're no longer interested in. You might have come out of relationships where you got burned and suffered many losses and failures.

What I've found is that there's one thing you shouldn't hand over to Google or conventional wisdom, and that is how to live your life, or how to think or what to do. Not in a totalitarian kind of way. This is what distinguishes you from the average NPC out there.

MGTOW is no exception either. Don't let others tell you what MGTOW means, or what you can and can't do. Don't just step up for a helping of dogma. You define MGTOW, you are powerful, and you are in control.

Be here, yes on this sub for the conversational value, and discussion. Don't be here to try and form some social movement, that's not GYOW. That's taking a direction to form a social movement, and yet again still participating in the chaos of this world. It is essentially taking responsibility for the failures of others.

Meninism (MGTOW1) does this. It steps in as some kind of punishment/retaliation movement. Meninism is a social justice movement. It's justice against feminism. Do you want to devote your whole life to some kind of teenage-level invisible war? Leave that to the moronic.

Same goes for MGTOW. No one is asking you to defend it, or make it known or market it. You want to do that, go right ahead, but that's not MGTOW.

MGTOW is literally stepping out of that box. It's not about arming you to fight in that box. It's about getting you totally out of the box where you can have peace of mind etc.

The idea behind MGTOW is nothing new. Most religions have the same principle this whole "Come out from among them and be ye separate" -> Christians. Buddhist Monks seeking solitude in their monasteries. Virtually the entire Koran is dedicated to describing infidels.

You don't have to physically lock yourself away, or be a total recluse, but if you do nothing else, just stop paying attention to all this shit on the internet. Don't get caught up in any drama.

None of that shit matters and it's all temporary and not even that interesting. Consider how many millions of hours have been wasted by people watching Youtube drama bullshit. Do you think anyone is going to care about that shit in 50 or 100 years?

Essentially just relax and stop giving a shit about what's not important. This too isn't a movement (or it shouldn't be) and whatever happens to MGTOW is of no concern to you.

What's more of a concern is how you spent your day, this week, next month, next year and so on.

And don't be static in your thinking either. You may or may not find a girl. Don't write off the possibility. That's ludicrous. Pay attention sure, learn from the mistakes of others and your own and look out for those red flags. Don't set any hard and fast rules.

And live a bit and risk a bit. And get used to failure. When it comes to relationships, it's an area clouded in failure. Expect to fail, many many times before MAYBE you find some success.

That's just life if you can't handle that, then quit this talk too about real men, and manginas, because a real man can come to grips with such an epic challenge. Like my grandfather used to say. Get back on that horse.
