This probably has been asked a few times in one or another form. I completely understand why a MGTOW should be against the dominant relationship paradigm in our western society.

But what would you think about fully non-dependent relationships where there are no compromises and/or commitment you don't want? Wouldn't that make a long term relationship MGTOW compatible?

In this scenario you could have separate flats or houses, live your daily lives as self-sufficient as possible and do whatever you want and when you want. Both partners should have a job and should be financially independent from each other. Gifts and such might be exchanged but at an equal proportion between both parties. There might be sexual commitment or not, which could be negotiated from the start.

The reasoning behind this is, that if a woman commits herself to a relationship like this you pretty much rule out her being after your money or other nefarious intentions even subconscious ones. You guarantee that from the start she has no reason to be with you other than that she wants to be with you.

Also you evade the problem that often silently destroys normal relationships that there are no common grounds other than codependency and biochemistry. In a relationship like described you would only spend time together if you really wanted it to things together you both love. You will have the companionship and friendship without the hardship. Things you do not have in common can be done in each persons own time.

Furthermore I think a woman that agrees to this could be classified as some sort of "WGTOW" and set a good example for other women following the feminist ideal of women-worship.

So, would something like this be MGTOW compatible in your eyes? In mine it is.
