What do you think about the MGTOW movement?

Question

If you're a young dude... take the damn red pill. You'll get raked over the coals just for living with a woman. She manages to get pregnant by you by digging a condom out of the trash can... you are fucked and you're paying after that. These are just straight facts... cry about it all you want... not my problem. Stay with her a certain amount of years, you're paying alimony. It's this way in every western country. What if she just accuses you of some shit you didn't do... dumbass, don't do anything alone with a woman. It's harsh advice but take it. Better than spending years in jail or paying out the ass.

Keep in mind... payments... go to the government first then to her and they take a cut. So you'll pay $500/month... she'll get $400 and then after she's bought her girly stuff or drugs... the kid might see something. The government is making this all happen and they're getting paid. The laws are just set against you as a dude... don't fuck with it and don't think things will work out for you just because of what you think is right and wrong. The world/gov doesn't give a shit about you.

Females... what should I say to you? You have friends that do this shit on purpose. You might do it.

It is men who have "given up" and fleeing from Western women. Many things in Western Culture have caused that retreat and many men have come to feel that pursuing a relationship is not worth the time, effort, emotional investment and financial expense.

But Your Own Way can be much different than a retreat. It can result from a cost/benefit analysis. When I was single, I "shopped around" locally and found nothing that appealed to me. There was far to much Woke political baggage to trudge through and lawyers and government had made Western women simply unworkable. All they offered was a pussy and a paycheck with no guarantee as to how long that would last before the fireworks started.

I got the impression that they were well decorated land mines that could explode, ruining my life and career, at any time with no reason except revenge against Testosterone and personal gain. That's when I evaluated recruiting from off-shore; The Orient and Latin America, where women were not poisoned by Western culture.

I presently have an East Asian woman sleeping in my bed waiting for coffee. I went my own way and feel like I am cheating fate every day.

They are the same as incels with the exception that they with their motto should leave women alone. So a better variant of incels if it would be this way. But sadly thats not really the case. They speak how they evolved into not needing women anymore and than ironically their biggest topic ever is... right women!!! So if they would actually do what they preach than fine I am great I dont have to deal with them but in the end its just another misogynistic group. Dont start telling me how their movement is different because like I said if they actually practice what they preach they would be fine but they are not even doing their main motto right.

Their "movement" is an absolute joke. They'll go on and on and on about how "we don't need women in our lives", and that "we've moved beyond that, we've walked away and now we're free and independent", and yet their favourite topic of conversation on these online sites is... wait for it... women. :D :D :D

They haven't "gone their own way" at all. They're just the male equivalent to the bitter and vindictive feminist who blames men for everything.

zeitgeist057 · Answer

I think it's great, but it's a bit of a joke. Basically, you have a bunch of men who are unwanted/unattractive to women, who are then responding to the rejection by saying "we're not available". Well, okay, power to you, but the only reason you are "unavailable" is because your feelings were hurt that no one wanted you to be available, or cared. It's a little boy at a party being ignored, then decides out of self-respect he's going to take the gift he bought (that no one wanted) and go home.

It's good for people to have self-respect, so for that element, it's great. Also, it removes a bunch of men from women whom the women are trying to avoid anyway. You don't have a bunch of attractive, sought after men joining the MGTOW. It's not like women are knocking their doors down, flirting with them, begging them to have sex, and these guys are saying, "Sorry, love. I'm part of MGTOW. Looks like you'll have to get your vitamin D somewhere else." Men who are attractive to women and getting female attention don't consider joining MGTOW, at least not on a permanent basis. Some might decide to be celibate for a bit as an experiment in focus and discipline, but that's different.

What do you think about the MGTOW movement?

I watched a little of the video, the girl was cute. But 22 minutes was too long for me to bother with it. I did skip around a bit and agree with her that "MGTOW" is a misnomer for a group of men who spend heaps of their time complaining about women and having conversations revolving around women. That's not "going their own way" at all, which would mean not worrying about or focusing on women at all.

Curmudgeon · Answer

MGTOW is, in the end, VERY good for men. However, MGTOW is – a process.

The men who start out in MGTOW are often very bitter, very hurt, and very angry at the pack of lies they were told all through their formative years. And they vent. A lot. And a lot of female readers or viewers or onlookers can find this a bit unsettling, and understandably so.

But the next step of MGTOW is for men to develop one's own talents, one's own skills, one's own hobbies. And not doing any of this because the ladies might like it, but for its (and their) own sake., because it makes them better men. And once the men have achieved this, they are much better off, even in terms of attracting and relating women. Perhaps especially in terms of that!

But the key point is that men have to do this for themselves, and motivate themselves to do this for themselves, not for any woman (although in the end, that may happen too). And focusing upon and developing themselves IS a good thing.

inhua · Answer

gotta love the haters who deliberately misinterpret its message to make themselves feel better. all the feminists and white knights alike wanna pretend they have absolutely no fucking clue with what's going on with the toxic behavior of modern women but when MGTOW points out these behaviors, apparently they are the toxic ones.

and lmao @ the shame tactics they employ

they expect men to go back to the plantation to become sacrificial lambs for women who hate him, cheat on him, falsely accuse them of rape and domestic violence, steal from them in divorce court. etc. if we flipped the genders around, feminists would be fucking screaming but we all know deep down feminists aren't for gender equality.

it's perfectly fine to shame MGTOW but heaven forbid you shame a woman for being strong and independent, needs no man and doesn't want kids.

NamerOfStars · Answer

There comes a point when the only honest thing to do is admit the game is rigged against you and walk away from it. Few even have the emotional honesty to start the process- and fewer still have the honesty to finish it. Realizing that you've been lied to your entire life would make anyone angry, but most of those I've dealt with (most of those who claimed membership, at least; those who DID move on were likely just quieter about it) never move past the anger.

They decry women as being responsible for the state of a society that was well underway when they were born into it, and they cast blame and aspersions just like the Feminists do. These men may be more forewarned, but I doubt most of them are any happier for it.

2ndCenturyWarlord · Answer

If that's a personal choice that men make en mass, their life their choice.

But as a *community*, the most vocal (and maybe the most in number) are just there to validate themselves and each other.

Now, I understand women feel negative emotions more frequently then men, and need positivity in their lives from people who understand, and I don't. But too often when people do this their negative qualities are excused or justified by people who share them.

This is what I see in the MGTOW community.

Nalix · Answer

It's definitely good to be cautious about relationships. MGTOW simply recognizes the societal power imbalance and thinks opting out of relationships is the wiser choice. There are a lot of ways they can do this though. Some look for relationships abroad, others simply avoid women, some are open to relationships if the conditions are right, but think that pursuing them is no longer worth the hassle. Others still seek to be free from their own sexual desires.

Each one will give you a different answer.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Just what I have noticed from my admittedly limited interactions:

The good: warning men of the potential pitfalls of marriage and even living together under modern laws, and an emphasis on getting finances in order, personal advancement, things like that.

The bad: AWALT (All Women Are Like That) and other such collectivist nonsense. Too many talking about going their own way while spending most of their time hating all women because a few messed them up. That is a bigot mindset, not an enlightened one.

The movement for Max Gross Take Off Weight of aircraft? I think it's good but it's going to result in higher taxes to pay for improved runways.

UCrayCray · Answer

I have zero issues with men, and women for that matter, who want to live on their own terms and not have to care or worry about anybody else.
But DO NOT claim you are “going your own way,” when spend you time online bitching about women.
That really works against the claim that you are “going your own way.”

Rogue_Agent · Answer

When I feel like I'm getting too fat to date I go my own way for a while.

Then I start jogging so I can attract women again.

As far as avoiding marriage goes, I'm still married to the last one legally so any new ones would have to pay for my divorce first. Then I have a strict rule that any woman i date should have more money than me so I have nothing to lose.

LazerBean · Answer

Nothing at all. They're insignificant. Didn't even know what they were until I was on this website. Neither did my husband, and he usually knows about silly social outcast groups like that.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

I think it's a natural movement given the decay of females, the hostility towards heterosexual males in the courts and media, and success of feminist in destroying the family system.

Men have no way to fight back except to walk away and seek their own peace -of-mind. Any objective person can see this is reasonable.

WhiteBoyChill · Answer

I think its a good thing. Women just aren’t worth the trouble anymore.

But I still see so many delusional guys these days struggling to get women and I just can’t understand why they waste their time when its easier to just chill tf out. I mean women offer no value anyway so why should I try and be that chad who’s got game?

There’s simply no point unless you’re a guy who just wants regular sex.

Brainsbeforebeauty · Answer

A bunch of men that want to blame women for their own failures in life… but mostly don’t give people like that much thought at all

Anonymous · Answer

I think MGTOW sprang from a simulation that was done by a supercomputer when all the data was entered in about finding, maintaining and keeping a relationship with a woman and here was the results it concluded. 😆😆😆

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I find the movement very sad, but I understand why it is happening. Men are tired of women being profoundly abusive people.

I don’t know what’s MGTOW and I don’t care to know anything about what’s happening in America. you guys need to stop this woke shit it’s getting annoying

Damian69 · Answer

It's reasonable for a man to separate himself from an abusive mother, ex, etc, in fact, he should for his own sake. But I don't think it's fair to disparage women as a whole just because one (or more) was shitty to him.

jshm2 · Answer

Just men too shy to admit they are insecure around women, but too masculine to admit they like men.

Anonymous · Answer

Woman should get married in their early 20s pick a good man that wants to take care of her so she can take care of the kids. Then she should be his wife. I don’t think this should be controversial.

loveslongnails · Answer

Bunch of butt hurt guys who don't know how to find a quality woman, and don't try to tell me "they don't exist".

Keishio · Answer

Like all things it does make some valid points and some not so great points. Just don't anchor yourself in so deep that you let the stuff you don't agree with slide by just because you like other things about the group

Snakeyes7 · Answer

I don't know why women care what they think of them. Even if it is true that they hate every fiber of a woman's being, why does it matter? It's better that they separate themselves from society than force you to live up to their standards.
