No kidding,

I had no knowledge of the acronym, nor it's meaning... I was somewhat familiar with the basic concept, but I was not aware of the "movement" (so to speak)

I am an older guy, and understood the notion of a "confirmed bachelor", but I was beginning to think that "thinking being alone is better", was just something I had dreamed up for myself.. haha

I had decided several years ago (after my divorce from a 33 year long marriage), that "women" were simply not worth the investment (emotionally, financially, etc.), I realized that I could be happier on my own, in total control of my life decisions.

Anyway, I never thought that apparently millions of other guys feel the same way.

I certainly don't hate/dislike women (still love the physical part whenever possible ;)) , but "relationships" in any conventional sense is something I plan to keep in my rear-view mirror.

I do what I want, when I want, how I want....  FREEDOM IS BETTER than anything, including "love" and certainly sex

You are doing it wrong.  I have freedom and an awesome marriage.  I wouldn’t trade having a partner for life.

Well, the reason I didn't spell it out (MGTOW  = Men Going Their Own Way), is because I truly thought I was pretty much the only one not to know, I was pretty sure I was way late on the uptake :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_Going_Their_Own_Way

Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW /'m?gta?/) is a mostly pseudonymous online community[3][4] of men supported by websites and social media presences[5] cautioning men against serious romantic relationships with women, especially marriage.[6][7]

The community is part of what is more broadly termed the manosphere. MGTOW have "...vowed to stay away from women, stop dating and not have children".[9] MGTOW focuses on men's self-ownership rather than changing the status quo through activism and protest, making MGTOW distinct from the men's rights movement.[10] The Southern Poverty Law Center has identified MGTOW as a male supremacist group.[11]

There's a lot of crazy going on these days in the internet. The MGTOW movement is nothing compared to the incel movement, which has already spawned several shootings. Elliot Rodger is now literally worshiped as some sort of prophet/saint to them.

MGTOW is an anti West psyop.  Look who it's always directed at.  Don't do it.  There are things more important than us as individuals.

I dunno....

I had (before I fucked up bad...) a good 33 year long marriage, kids, house, cars, $$$.. pretty much "everything" the American dream can offer a man

But, after learning a few VERY HARD life lessons, I realized that the "system" in this country, this culture is terribly slanted against men, rather much in favor of the females.

I also learned A LOT about "women" after almost 6 decades on this planet........

Call me loser, call me "beta" WTF you wish, but young(er) men be warned

and NO, I am not gay or :coming out"... haha

I am simply beginning to understand there is a better way than the bill of goods that I was sold ever since my childhood

Everything is becoming polarized in this damn world.

How about you just meet a bunch of chicks and have some standards/be picky for the ones you enter into relationships with?

I'm sure a bunch of people have gotten burned in relationships for the last ten thousand years... why just swear off women? That's dumb. I go on dates with girls, sometimes it lasts one date or fifty. If you find yourselves at an impassable crossroads, just politely part ways.

(I realize someone will say "I couldn't do that with this chick bro, she's crazy!" Well, if she's real crazy you shoulda screened better and if she's a whore you shouldn't be emotionally involved with whores.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sour%20Grapes

Sour Grapes
In an old fable by Aesop, a hungry fox noticed a bunch of juicy grapes hanging from a vine. After several failed attempts to reach the grapes, the fox gave up and insisted that he didn't want them anyway because they were probably sour.

Nowadays when somebody expresses sour grapes, it means that they put down something simply because they can't have it.
This accurately describes 90%+ of the MGTOW types. They are basically incels but don't want to admit it, and are too lazy to try to change it.

Man you guys get so butthurt over it. You all want to talk all this shit then go off and cry about it when someone calls you on it

- maybe not you personally, I have no idea but the other guys sure get upset over getting called on it....

Sorry, not sorry I call out stupidity when I see it. Deal with it

ETA- you could have at least tagged me in this, I almost missed the call out!

One last thing- ask yourself how many threads I've started on the topic (0), then go see how many threads the he-man woman hater (MGTOW/TRP) club has started (100s) and ask yourself finally who are the ones obsessed with the topic.
