After burning through much heartache, headache, time, money, and resources, I’d reached 6 key realizations that led me to the decision of going MGTOW. MGTOW is an acronym for “Men Going Their Own Way”, which I’ll roughly define as men who avoid long-term relationships and particularly marriage and co-habitation. At this very moment, I’m in “Monk mode” where I’m not pursuing any sexual relations, which I find optimal for living a cheap low-stress lifestyle. Depending on your particular personality, history and circumstances, these reasons may or may not resonate with you. However, I suspect that for most men in the West today, at least a couple will strike a chord.

The current sexual marketplace, particularly in the West, is quite unfavorable to the majority of men. In my case, the women that I could pull fall into one of two categories and neither is satisfying:

– Insufficiently physically attractive for my taste

– Physically attractive but a huge pain in the butt in terms of attitude and personality Women (their looks anyway) are a depreciating asset. I recognize that my looks will be depreciating as well, but chances are my financial assets won’t be. Marriage (including common-law marriage) may put me in a legally and financially compromising position. In the West, women file for divorce in the majority of cases and also come out with the most cash and prizes at the end. While in a relationship, I often feel that my freedom to do as I please with my time is greatly constrained. Although relationships often start out fun, once the novelty has inevitably worn off, they tend to quickly get boring and become more of a pain than they’re worth. Women and God-for-bid children are too expensive. They would likely force me to come out of the bliss of my early retirement. Speaking of which, if you want to escape the rat race in the feminazi West, I have all the details spelled out including the optimal recommended country and why, the detailed budget breakdown, and much more in my book: MGTOW’s Guide to Retiring on $200K in SE Asia at mgtowbooks.com.
