This blows (pressure to marry)...

You don't have to be married to not be alone, right?

Wrong question. The question you should be asking is, "you don't have to be single to be alone, right?" Trust me, the loneliest kind of lonely you can have is when you're married.

Lets be honest for everyone. The future of thise who hose MGTOW is a future that you will die alone. The quicker everyone here realizes this, the quicker we can all rhink of ways to support ourselves in our later years.

Youre parents arent wrong, and neither are you.

I'm from South India and I know what you're going through. I escaped this marriage trap as soon as I saw what happened to my friends and cousins. The following are the things that I have observed over the years.

It is exciting for a few days after marriage and then comes your way the unwanted problems from mainly your relatives. This will turn into a wild fire before you know it and the newly married groom (You) will be blamed for it.
You can't trust women these days. I have heard many of them talk bad about their husbands behind their backs and most importantly chatting with ex-boyfriends via facebook, whatsapp etc. They train themselves to fool their husbands each and everyday.
You will lose your freedom when you get married and most importantly when you have kids. You will almost deal with endless list of problems from both your wife and kids. There is no way you are going to escape that. Your problems+Your wife's problems+Your kids problems = Rapid Ageing & Poor Health = Early Miserable Death.
You are on your own after marriage and YOUR PROBLEMS are YOUR PROBLEMS. Nobody cares about you or your family. People (Relatives/Friends/Family Members) will tell you "It is your family and you are responsible for it". They will be the same people who told you to get MARRIED before.
You will have to invest a lot of TIME, ENERGY & MONEY into marriage without expecting any kind of RETURNS.
If you go through divorce, then you will mostly lose half of your hard earned money and assets to your wife and pay ALIMONY & CHILD SUPPORT for a long time. If you don't have the resources to pay them, then you will go to jail. Family courts are always harsh against the husbands. The people (Relatives/Friends/Family Members) who advised you or forced you to get married will not be there.

My Solution:

We all die alone whether we are married or not. So, why bother going through all this BS. Take one day at a time. Accept this reality and you will have unlimited power.
Make a plans to invest your LIMITED VALUABLE TIME, ENERGY & MONEY on YOURSELF. This will help you to become totally SELF-RELIANT, an important skill that you require to survive the harsh realities of life.
Keep upgrading your skills everyday. You will have more options both in your personal and professional life. You don't have to be a slave to anyone and will be valued and respected by everyone.
Take care of your health. Work out everyday and learn to cook healthy meals. I work out and cook everyday. I'm in my late 30's but I feel ten years younger.
Find loyal friends and form a group. I have very few friends (Male) but are very loyal to me. They will always have your back. It is better than having 1000 fake friends and so-called relatives.
SAVE MONEY & INVEST. This will help you to live a comfortable life after your retire.
Travel and meet new people and learn about their culture. The world is not small. It is too big.

I hope this information will guide you to make better decisions in the future. Good luck!

Honestly, ask your Mom to lay it off. Everyone expects everyone else to do stuff their way, actually making it seem like they're doing you a favor by pointing out your status, and trying to change it. Be confrontational. If she's your mother, you'd expect her to understand you more, not less.

Don’t get married.

I'm not sure why you're getting stressed over this. People can say whatever they want (freedom of speech), but you have no obligation to do what they say (freedom of choice). So in this case focus on your freedom of choice. Is there something that's making you so stressed? Is it your own beliefs that you need to please your parents in all matters to be considered a good son? If so you can change this belief slowly over time.

It's not possible to NOT die alone. I mean maybe if we were in a crash together and both died instantly...but you don't have to be married to do that...although one could say that marriage is that exact event, crashing and dying...just that it's slower and you'll die a thousand times emotionally and financially before you do physically finally get peace.

Actually...the car crash without marriage is actually less pain.

Correct me if I'm wrong, it sounds like you still live with your parents? There's nothing inherently wrong with that but it just means you have some obligation towards them. I would suggest making it a "goal" to move out and find your own place, rent or otherwise.

Reason I'm suggesting this is because it sounds like you feel "indebt" towards your parents. I think that's where the "pressure" is coming from. You have a good heart, because you could easily just lie to both your parents and potential wife with various excuses on why you won't marry. But you are honest and upfront about it.

Your kind and genuine nature is being conflicted, because being honest about how you feel will no doubt break your parents heart.

You are a little idealistic in wanting to pursue your dreams over a job. I'm guessing that's why you haven't achieve true financial independence from your parents. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

In terms of you mother, a lot of what she saying is her own feelings. Perhaps take it with a grain of salt or not put too much weight on it. Many of her fears she has is being projected onto you. Not so much out of malice, but out of concern for your well-being. But I will leave you with a special quote from my father, "I can give you money, a job, a home, but what I can't give you is happiness." All(most) parents want their children to find happiness, but sometimes they forget that happiness isn't something that's given.

Marry someone who is chasing the same goals are you. That's a way to put it. But I know it's easier said than done. It's easy to say too that you'll have your friends for life, you'll never know because you don't know how you rank on each other's priority list (I don't know how to better say it).

Living alone is no fun. That's what your mum's telling you. Have you tried really picturing it in your mind? When they're gone, and all you have is work, and your brothers and sisters, but probably they'll have families of their own too. You'll be like a ghost.

I'm into this MGTOW stuff too but I try to have a clear vision and see past all other people's post dominated by hurt or fear of women. Some advice I really take into heart, some are just people ranting and looking for reasons not to step up their life.

I personally think marrying and not marrying are shit. You'd just need to take the lesser poison. People change too, that goes with yourself. I'm on my mid-20's now. I'm sexually driven. But I know a time will come were sex wouldn't mean a thing for me and I'll be focused more on building a legacy. That's why I'm going my own way preparing for that. A lot of people have a wrong picture of marriage. Marriage is not all about you. It's not pleasure island. People think that it is, and get butthurt when they see reality. Marriage is maturity and responsibility to bind yourself with someone who is as flawed as you, and maybe make something better out of that union. Two ropes weaved together are stronger than two separate ones. Difficult times will come, whether it be health, finance, or just existential loneliness, it's good when you have someone by your side. You also get to reciprocate too, someone to celebrate with life's successes too. That's something a friend couldn't easily replace.

You aren't left behind. I know a lot of people getting married by mid-late 30's if you want to get married. Just be wise if you're looking for a partner. Personally, living alone is my last option. I've known women who are honestly good to the core, and some women who are aware of the power of the p***y to corrupt their character and are really trying their sincere best not to. I've also seen all my aunts get divorced, I have some uncles who never had anything serious going on for them. I've seen some failed marriages that got fixed up. I've seen marriages that went the drain. I've seen some of my cousins get married to foreigners just for financial gains (I'm from South East Asia).

One thing I'll never forget is I've seen my grandpa and grandma at their deathbeds and surrounded by their loved ones. Death is a very scary thing and I'm really glad that they faced it with all their families with them. Honestly, I'd rather have that experience than going off alone.
