Feminism created this, not men. Guys are only accommodating to the WGTOW movement - feminism - "a woman needs a man like a fish needs bicycle - go to the gym, have a career or a business to spend money only on yourself, take a picture of you at 40 alone with a glass of wine". WGTOW, feminism, invented this, not men. What did women expect? That if women become WGTOW men would lie on the carpet next to their door and beg that they let them in after they wrote on the door "I'm fine alone"? It took men a decade to understand what women have done and they had no other choice but doing the same - MGTOW. Did they prefer it? No. Did women prefer it? No - women are trapped in the anorexia psychology that they have, of receiving satisfaction instead of from satiating needs, from starving the needs to gain control over the environment and feeling satisfaction from this control instead (in anorexia it's caused because of a controlling mother when the girl tries to gain any kind of autonomy by this, but the mechanism exists in all women just as self-sacrifice exists in all men - both mechanisms having lethal consequences when activated in the wrong context - suicides in men and self-starvation in women). But women created this reality and men are left with no other option but to do the same. Women can announce the destruction of WGTOW any time they want, and after a few years men will see that it's gone and abandon their MGTOW, they don't have the female anorectic psychological mechanism, only women have this, they are the ones starving themselves of love, it's up to them to get therapy, men won't lie on the carpet under the "I'm doing fine alone" WGTOW sign on the door, they can read a sign.

P.S., the writer is married with a kid, never divorced, and as a guy he always wanted to live with a cute sexy girl. He is justifying MGTOW not as feminists justify their choices - as a self-deception that one wants others to participate in to validate one's denials - but as an objective observer who is not a MGTOW guy himself.
