I’m not much for “spreading” the MGTOW philosophy if you know what I mean. Everyone must choose their path and I’ve often found it’s largely a waste of energy to try and alter another human’s course. The old saying “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink” is so spot on.

But since going down this path many years ago I absolutely noticed friends and family in committed relationships started to become more distant or disappear completely. I’m more of a listener than a talker, and no doubt when I found myself with a friend or family member that was married or in a serious relations~~~ they quickly opened up to me about their misery. I never encouraged anyone to break up, but I of course was always honest about my own happiness. Most men either envied me or were confused by me. How is it I didn’t struggle with life when it lacked marriage or serious commitment?

The only thing that has ever made me somewhat sad is just those that *can’t* come around anymore. They say a strong drink is liquid courage, but I think time around me was some kind of courage because my friends would briefly hype themselves up to telling their partner a “thing or two”.

I assume those battles were lost, and simply meeting up for a drink was now impossible. Always an excuse. Women who want to keep their men in check despise the likes of me. I don’t even have to speak a word for other men to desire what I have, freedom.

I’d dare say a woman would prefer a man keep the company of a prostitute than an evening of drink and conversation with me. At least with the prostitute she can use the betrayal as a tool to hold even more power over him.
