It actually is designed to appeal to these men to TAKE THEM AWAY from being involved politically.



Very bad idea. They recruit men so they can focus on "themselves" and not give their power over to a women. A view I completely agree with and am doing at this moment.

Go your own way, do your own thing, no one cares. romantic involvement. MGTOW is largely apolitical, although most of its adherents seem to be Rump voters. If they actively support men's rights, let alone contacted their congressional representative on the issue, they'd be MRA's, not MGTOW's. Those movements are actually rivals: MRA's blast MGTOW's for not trying to (re)gain rights for men, while MGTOW's claim that MRA's are wasting their time campaigning for a lost cause. Another rival movement is Red Pill, which basically teaches men what women are attracted to and how to leverage that. The infamous Roosh V was once a Red Piller, but is now MRA.There are different levels of MGTOW. Most are nowhere near as extreme as the hearsay would suggest. Some MGTOW's even enjoy being friends with women, as well as hookups/flings. They just eschew any and allinvolvement. Last edited by MillennialUrbanist; 05-14-2017 at 09:39 AM ..

And, you yourself admit that you're not interested in marriage, so I'm guessing that part of that may be because you don't want to get into a situation where divorce may be a possibility. Not criticizing this, because I feel exactly the same way. I'm just making a point here. Again, I'm against the MGOTW "movement" but I do agree that getting married & divorced would definitely be a lot more expensive/costly/time-consuming than not getting married at all. I do think that guys who are concerned about getting screwed in a divorce & having to deal with lawyers, etc. do have a valid concern. Maybe the extent of the financial drain of a divorce is exaggerated, but anytime you're dealing with lawyers you're spending a pretty penny. Obviously women would have to spend $ on a divorce as well.And, you yourself admit that you're not interested in marriage, so I'm guessing that part of that may be because you don't want to get into a situation where divorce may be a possibility.

Besides, avoiding marriage but keeping oneself open to other kinds of romantic relationships does not guarantee a life without disappointment, setbacks, or sadness. Being involved with another person in life costs time, effort, and yes, money. A lot of the MGOTW guys talk about a bad marriage like it's just something that happens that you have no control over, like being crapped on by a bird. I've been surrounded by good marriages my whole life, and what I've seen from them is that a good marriage is a choice that you make every day, beginning with what partner you choose. Your spouse is your teammate, not your opponent. That's not it at all. Right now I'm happy with my life and the way it is, I'm getting older and probably more set in my ways, and as the bumper sticker says, "it would take a fantastic husband to be better than none at all." Avoiding divorce is not even on my radar. Men, relationships, and disappointment are not my enemy. Divorce hurts everyone involved, not just the husband.Besides, avoiding marriage but keeping oneself open to other kinds of romantic relationships does not guarantee a life without disappointment, setbacks, or sadness.

Once more for the folks in the back. 05-14-2017, 10:43 PM sholomar Location: Sector 001 7,784 posts, read 7,219,232 times Reputation: 9063 It's because women are crazy and respond to bad boys and cocky type behavior and most of the MGTOW crowd are more logical and grounded or laid back... They don't want the drama and have to jump through all the hoops to keep today's self entitled women who know their worth in the dating scene and demand only the top of the social pack, even if it means continued heartbreak. Traditional gender roles are blurred. Men need to feel appreciated and feel like he's needed or there's no point to dating. Ironic that women price themselves out of some quality men to end up with ones that will just "cluck and Chuck" them and complain their heart is always broke.



A woman needs to have control of herself and not be crazy or demand constant stimulation... She needs to act like and adult, not someone in high school, and have realistic expectations. It's harder to find than you might think. 05-14-2017, 10:51 PM stan4 Location: Texas 44,266 posts, read 56,078,717 times Reputation: 73415 Quote: stockwiz Originally Posted by I
