Just remember folks, this is how the mainstream media portrays single men with no kids

SnooDrawings4726 · 2021-04-29T10:41:47+00:00

Scene from “family guy” If I remember the episode correctly, this guy is divorced and the wife has the kids, and he says “this, this is better” while living alone in squalor... pretty based if you ask me

batfish55 · 2021-04-29T12:18:11+00:00

That's not a pic of a single man with no kids. That's a pic of a divorced man whose kids were taken from him but he's still paying to support.

rookeryop · 2021-05-14T16:52:26+00:00

This is more accurately: "guy who has been divorce raped".

Worried-Principle580 · 2021-04-29T12:29:59+00:00

As a single man with no kids, I see nothing wrong with that image.

geraldhayne3038 · 2021-04-29T10:47:19+00:00

When in reality, those who haven't been divorce raped, are productive members of society who handle their own shit. Their houses are well put together and maintained, you have no idea they are alone, and often no idea they are even there...

7firewire · 2021-04-29T12:33:39+00:00

Well if I look around at my MGTOW apartment I see.....

$2000 electric Skateboard

Oculus Quest 2 VR headset

HP Reverb G2 VR Racecar Simulator

6 surfboards

2 gaming PCs

A massive TV

A fridge full of healthy food (Solara meal service)

A clean apartment as I have a professional cleaner.

So this is BS.

Tookarn · 2021-04-29T11:58:32+00:00

Honestly I'm okay with this depiction. I've read stories of men that got divorced rape and would have to sell off possessions or live in their van and they report being happier that way. I would argue that people may use shaming tactics to try and discourage this lifestyle but it may be the most free way to live. You live for yourself and you don't have to own nice things in order to impress a woman or anyone for that matter. Surely that's the definition of a man going his own way

selfreliancedan · 2021-04-29T10:53:56+00:00

Sure that’s me. But I’ll be a lot better off and the surroundings and conditions will be 100% better because I’ll put what would be alimony, into keeping my place nice as fuck instead.

bobo007 · 2021-04-29T12:31:20+00:00

Looks more like a recently divorced man

KING_CPB · 2021-04-29T12:17:48+00:00

Wildhouse83 · 2021-04-29T15:05:38+00:00

This guy looks way more happy and balanced than almost any husband, not to mention the divorced guys.

BlueCollarSinner · 2021-05-06T15:09:55+00:00

6 digits in the bank and can live the way you want, Seems like a win for the single men.

Silencio00 · 2021-04-29T13:48:53+00:00

To be fair, Family Guy makes fun of everybody and everything but yeah you're right.

I am single with no kids and my life is nothing like this.

empatheticapathetic · 2021-04-29T13:35:39+00:00

Pretty much me tho tbh

GlitchyBlasphemer · 2021-04-29T13:18:49+00:00

They left out my PS5 and gaming rig lol.

Ben_Paul_ · 2021-04-29T12:45:56+00:00

I know a guy at my workplace who's single with no kids and actually lives like that lol. Nothing wrong with it though, I think it's best to be a minimalist anyways.

Just think how much money you'd have if you didn't spend most of it on materialism, junk you never hardly use or just pointless spending on consumerism. You'd have money for travelling, paying off your house, enjoying fine cousine or banging escorts etc.

Blazelini · 2021-04-29T21:28:21+00:00

That’s more peaceful than being in some miserable marriage😂😂😂

Diamond_Road · 2021-04-30T01:46:30+00:00

Come on, family guy gives it to everyone. They certainly don’t shy away from mocking women.

This is a pretty weak place to find offense

ManofGod1000 · 2021-04-29T12:31:37+00:00

That would seem to me to more likely be the divorced dad that lost everything, including his kids. (At least initially but then, he would find MGTOW and start to self improve over time.)

Physical-Pie748 · 2021-04-29T14:59:41+00:00

im rather this guy than a married guy with pets a nagging wife who spends all my money and 3 kids

medlabunicorn · 2021-04-29T23:03:58+00:00

TBF, that’s about how my husband was living when I met him.

Chicagoan81 · 2021-04-29T13:47:10+00:00

And they show single woman as heroes working as police officers putting men behind bars. And many of them lesbians because men are sexually inadequate to please them.

jpsouzamatos · 2021-04-29T18:36:26+00:00

Just boycott mainstream media. Put your tv on the trash. Don't watch netflix and hollywood movies. Use the free time to hobbies or personal development.

thenicedayguy · 2021-04-29T18:49:11+00:00

A lot of bachelorette apartments are like that as well....just saying

MostlyPeacefulReddit · 2021-04-29T20:10:28+00:00

I love how he says something along the lines of “this is pretty great” though. Because he’s right, it’s pretty great if you don’t get divorce raped.

nothing5630 · 2021-04-29T19:52:34+00:00

Thats actually my life

Let me check here....yup still 100 percent prefer it over marriage and kids with a western woman.

francis656 · 2021-04-30T03:25:07+00:00

Which is of course bullshit. As an intentionally single man who has no intention of having children I take care of myself well in every aspect. Presenting single men with no kids as helpless, dangerous or depressed misfits is just a trap. In reality, many of the men I know who are in relationships are often anxious, aimless and look after themselves poorly.

Society attempts to shove men in some woman's lap as quickly as possible before we attain too much individuality, self-awareness, and self-determined purpose, and then they berate men for being non-commital, insensitive and indecisive.

It's one long proccess of reducing men into thoughtless and emotionally blind instruments. I picked up on the scheme quite early. As early as 18. Since then I've been happily single and constantly growing in every way that's meaningful. I'm 28 now. Fuck society's tactics of humiliation and dehumanization. Our value comes from within ourselves rather than who we're expected to satisfy.

TraehNoil · 2021-04-29T22:26:00+00:00

The joke is about how constant nagging can exhaust a man incredibly, like a harmless river can create a huge canyon. A man rather enjoys living in a dirty home than in a toxic environment.

redcherryfruit · 2021-04-30T05:07:18+00:00

Only if media can support male rights by creating realistic women characters instead of perfect mary sues, shows where good men win against evil women, male characters not accepting women to hit or abuse them, men not white knighting etc, I believe it'd cause mass awareness and positivity for male rights. Even some series talking about double standards by reversing genders in situations would open a lot of eyes. But we all know media will never do that. They like men the way they are right now. Treated like shit and accepts it because "men need to be strong"

Squiddy-the-wise · 2021-04-30T00:20:07+00:00

He looks content

comptejete · 2021-04-30T01:26:08+00:00

If he wishes his situation was different, here's to hoping he's working to change it. If he's happy as he is and genuinely doesn't care about how he is perceived, then all power to him.

Pilotman49 · 2021-04-29T22:06:25+00:00

thegreyone3000 · 2021-04-29T17:53:53+00:00

To be honest, that dude has the right idea.

Look how little he is spending on materialistic things. (imagine the money he is saving)

Look how many fucks he gives (zero)

Not to mention, when you put yourself into an enviroment like that (having nothing nice) on purpose. It drives you to be a success (if that's what you want, so you can escape the rat race - though I know others here will probably just ditch the race and go living in the woods, which is fine, each to their own) and to get out of the shit hole you purposefully dropped yourself into... It's like Goku going into the hyperbolic time chamber and staying there for a year, just to train.

classicliberal1 · 2021-04-29T14:46:49+00:00

I'll admit that in my 20s, my tv was on a cardboard box. However, my apartment was nice and it was clean. It was mostly empty because I was in saving and investing mode. That was a very good financial decision.

Also, the torch lamp should be black, not white. Who has a white torch lamp?

stronzorello · 2021-04-29T17:58:58+00:00

zarthos · 2021-04-30T20:09:48+00:00

There is a reason why the media demonizes single, unmarried men. We make terrible consumers. We do not feed the capitalist beast as much as it would like to be fed.

Think of all the married men whose wives are always buying little useless items. Think of all the men who are buying expensive watches, clothes or cars trying to show off their status to impress potential mates. Think of all the men working overtime to earn money for useless travels to satisfy their wives, or to pay off some debts.

None of these things apply to us. We are hitting all of these companies where it hurts - their pockets, by not engaging, or at least not to the desired degree, in activities that would generate their revenue. We are a threat to the very fabric of modern, consumerist society.

Few-Pineapple7698 · 2021-04-30T15:20:57+00:00

Recently I bought and renewed my own home in the first countryside (close to a big city). Nice position and view, good neighbors, and a garage (very pricey where I live). The price was obscenely low because the previous owner needed to sell. I knew the deal for me would eventually come, it was just about waiting. If I had a girlfriend/wife I'd have ended like too many people I know: stuck with a long mortgage in a mediocre place and in mediocre conditions in some overrated area of the city. That for saying lol, I'm definitely not like that guy, my home is brand new and I paid it a 30% less of its value if not more. I'm not special tho, just free. Probably the guy in the clip has been divorce raped. And if it's the case, better that house than a life with someone so shallow to put him in that condition.

John-Crimson · 2021-05-09T15:08:10+00:00

This isn’t meant to brag; just letting you guys know what’s on the other side.

I divorced my wife last year. We made a combined $120k and lived paycheck to paycheck because of our spending habits.

I started seeing this other woman and noticed she was taking my money as well. Asking me to buy her groceries and making me feel bad when I didn’t. Ordering the most expensive thing in the menu. Etc...

I’m single now and make $90k and have more money than I know what to do with. I live in one of the nicest communities in my city and just started going to a hunting club to meet other guys. We drink beer, throw darts, and talk about wildlife. There’s nothing better.

If you’re married or in a relationship and you feel bad about leaving...don’t. Just leave. You owe nothing to nobody.

So they depict and justify the result of divorce rape. Social Conditioning at it's second highest right there. It's highest is outright telling young males that they're worthless, which often the media does.

Coweatsman · 2021-04-30T00:25:57+00:00

Any society needs a target to bully in order to build community cohesion. The easiest form for this to take is to identify a "danger" to women like a "misogynist" or a racial minority. In WWI whitefeathering served this need. Women will reward those who shirtfront and "step up" or "man up" or "speak up" or wear red high heels on designated fem worship ritual days to protect the honour of fair maidens everywhere. Getting men to fight men to win the mating rights and prove themselves to be good protectors and providers. I call it the "Quinn Morgendorffer effect". Feminism is just another expression of the old chivalry values. Values I believe to be deeply biologically rooted. SO single childfree men are a suitable target du jour.
