Enjoying my life my own way.

Booshank25 · 2016-04-10T17:09:06+00:00

This is a man really going his own way. Those saying it's depressing and to set sights higher are most probably the younger sort that still see success through an orthodox lens, some kind of validation seeking, stereotypical image of an alpha, that likes to lift, wear showy clothing, drive fast cars and generally be ostentatious in his presentation to the world, so they can lord it over others and say to women "look what you can't have.".

That's not to say those hobbies in themselves are any more or less worthy, I lift, however I don't sneer at what other's find fulfilling when GTOW. That's the whole damn point and anybody that feels OP is doing it wrong, or tries to slight him in any way misses the point and should ask themselves why do they personally think it looks depressing? Still plugged in are we? Some reflection on calling themselves MGTOW is in order I think.

I was thinking about this.

Go to work, look forward to coming home again and working on Lego as a hobby. Shit, you can make some amazing shit with Lego.

And nobody can nag you about it.

Pure bliss.

My first instinct when looking at is was to think, "Legos? What a loser." I immediately chastised myself for this. How deep the BP river runs!

He's doing what he wants, causing no harm. Who the hell am I to judge? Yet I have been so conditioned that to see a man enjoying himself on a simple folly like this invokes a feeling of repugnance. Men must accomplish great things and sacrifice for others to achieve fulfillment!

I hate what society has done to me, man.

aanarchist · 2016-04-10T10:29:01+00:00

i fucking loved leggos as a kid, when you finished the model it was such a feeling of satisfaction.

Agamand · 2016-04-10T10:46:06+00:00

Good stuff! Have any other finished builds worthy of a share-pic?

jebthecybersoldier · 2016-04-10T14:28:22+00:00

Looks neat,nice one OP.

JUST DON'T FUCKING STEP ON A LEGO

Sweet! I collect the large Star Wars UCS Lego. Most of it is now worth much more than I paid for it.

Just picked up the Ghost Busters Fire station.

victor_knight · 2016-04-11T00:09:07+00:00

When I was a mangina, I might have thought such a photo depicted a pathetic man-child who couldn't get a woman. However, now, as a MGTOW, I have the sense to see that a man changing a diaper or a PUA making a fool of himself to average-looking chicks are what's really pathetic.

IoSonCalaf · 2016-04-10T15:44:16+00:00

I upvote any post about Legos. They'll always be awesome!

soelc3 · 2016-04-10T19:02:46+00:00

I have nothing against any hobby that a man might choose to immerse himself in, but I fear that this is going to end up being posted on shitredditsays or some other anti-MGTOW site. Men face an enormous amount of social stigma for any hobby that doesn't fit the narrow definition of success tied to our gender role (athleticism, resource provision, etc.)

2016-04-10T19:51:16+00:00

Women's hobbies are buying useless shit like shoes that they will wear once a year. Men's hobbies are building shit and getting shit done. I see nothing wrong with this picture.

What a bunch of insecure bitches in the comments.

You look vaguely like Q from Star Trek.

Fuck yeah

DronedAgain · 2016-04-10T14:31:54+00:00

Rock on with your bad self.

In one of the SW extras they said the model for that ship was made from the cover of a street lamp, which I can never unsee. You can even see that in this lego version (especially since it's in the position it would be as a street light).

Vega-Pinto-Rust-BOOM · 2016-04-10T14:50:48+00:00

I like Legos.

MrJugsMcBulge · 2016-04-10T17:21:31+00:00

Nice. I used to love Legos, especially the Technic sets. I'd love to get back into collecting them, if they weren't so bloody expensive.

you kinda look like Pete from The League

ShadowOverMe · 2016-04-10T20:14:22+00:00

I recently realized I missed my LEGO collection that I used to have, so I went and bought 3 different lego castles and a minifig army and a pirate ship. Something like 900 bucks of Legos. I'm tempted to get into Hirst Arts molds. You basically cast little stones out of plaster and glue em into castles and such.

Hello fellow AFOL :)

Darth_Bicycle · 2016-04-11T00:37:16+00:00

I also loved lego's as a kid. That Millenium Falcon that you also made is so cool. I personally like 3d modeling as a hobby, so I can relate a bit.

Fuckin cool bro! Love it!

DforDeadpool · 2016-04-10T11:50:10+00:00

Good for you. Yet I'd recommend a more practical hobby, maybe like cooking (always helps), lockpicking (you don't know when it'd help), repairing old stuff, etc. But this is also good, for your brain.

thrownaway_MGTOW · 2016-04-11T04:07:45+00:00

LOL... talk about your deceptive thumbnails.

I didn't look at this thread before because the thumbnail looked like it was just a photo of some pile of clothes in the corner of a living room... and I though "Oh, typical bachelor pad. Just dump the laundry anywhere." Big deal.

DavidG993 · 2016-05-20T19:02:21+00:00

Dude, is that Slave-1?! Like the the from before the prequels?! That's awesome!

You're setting your sights/goals pretty low.

I didn't want to say anything but yeah. 100% depressing. I think the revolver to end it all is just out of frame.

Maybe he just need to smile and I'll stfu. (Maybe not)

I do plenty of things that cost money but don't make girl gush.

Credit for that as well. a Lego revolver would be pretty cool.

LOL... talk about your deceptive thumbnails.
