For a long time now I've found it difficult to accept the things MGTOW espouses. In part because of a naive hopefulness that was and perhaps still is present in me. In part because of the very hateful and negative messages this sub purports to avoid.

In complete honesty, I don't know how the hell I didn't reach this point sooner. Virtually every relationship I've witnessed (including my parents) and all of mine have been effected by female infidelity, blatantly disrespectful monkey branching and manipulation. I can only assume that like many of you prior to your inculcation of MGTOW's core tenets, I could not accept the reality of male disposability and female hypergamous nature. A flaw in my nature undoubtedly and likely something that wounds the male ego greatly for understandable reasons.

In my mind, many men are assholes too, cynical and nihilistically inclined, they perpetuate and accelerate the downfall of our society, oftentimes consciously much to my chagrin. It appears to me that besides rejecting the current state of affairs, men (and I include myself here), must become more. Not to land a partner, but to re-educate society on a moralistic/ethical level.

See, in my mind, MGTOW is partly symptomatic of a larger problem. Our society reveres the decadent and shallow in a way that seems almost unprecedented. Take Trump for example. Whether you are in support of him or not, it's very clear he's tapping into celebrity/youtube/twitter culture in a way other presidents have not. Acting as provocatively (casual threats of nuclear bombardment to Iran, grab her by the pussy etc etc...) as he has in recent years and still gaining monumental support, tells me there's a large element of society that idolizes the hyper distorted, almost sociopathically masculine. It's as though the subtler and more well thought out, considered elements of manhood are being utterly relegated into obsolescence as people idolize increasingly shallow and sociopathic individuals and then have the audacity to complain (much in the same way women do) when these individuals completely ruin them. I have no idea the extent to which this is the fault of modern feminism, but the overwhelming popularity of men such as Trump tells me there's likely some correlation here.

In a way my belief, is that in a broader sense, we are in a cultural decline, in someways analogous to the fall of the Roman Empire. We're idolizing people to almost god like status when they are clearly flawed as individuals. I mean, when I was a child, I looked up to astronauts and visionaries. Now, it seems more often than not, young people are looking up to vacous instagram/youtube/twitch personalities. It's like we're practically guaranteeing our own demise as a society by aiming so lowly.

The way I think these things are linked, is that we're becoming overwhelmed by our baser, shallower, more selfish instincts as a society and sadly, on a systematic level, this is being positively encouraged. The obvious comparison here being the more unethical and impulsive natures of women being positively encouraged by the court systems as male rights are progressively diminished.

These are just some of my musings anyway. Feel free to add your own thoughts.
