The Official MGTOW Thread

1.This isn't a place to bash women. To put it simple. This is a thread for guys to talk about what they are doing day to day lives while they arent really pursuing dating.
2.Be supportive and positive.
3.No trolling or harassment.

Current Situation
Talking to one girl. Things have been going well ish, but she recently tried to claim I was ignoring her. I told her straight up I wasnt able to respond at the time. She read that message and hasn't responded. Sent her a funny meme pic hours later and she still hasn't responded. So the ball is now in her court. If she falls off the map then I legit have zero options. In my home town and in my current city.

Currently about to invest in Advanced Micro Devices. They're about to drop a new video card and this could put the heat on Nvdia. AMD stock is going for around 11.30 a share while Nvidia is like 144.35. If AMDs new Vega series of cards is legit at a lower price than Nvidias? Their stock value should go up. Also I'm looking at crypto currency. I missed out on the bitcoin bandwagon. 1 bitcoin is worth 2200 bucks right now. They were less than a dollar years ago. So I missed out on literally hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. Definitely gonna keep an eye on this stuff.

Also I was at like 245lbs a few aback. Sitting at a smooth 230ish right now. Trying to get my gains back and join the National Guard. Did 5 years active duty and as crazy as I sounds I miss some of the nonsense. Cheaper health care, potential to deploy and randomly go on orders. Why not.


I just made this thread since all the naturals, chads, and etc are tired of us clogging up theirs.

So if this is about men going their own way, how come the first piece of news in the opening post concerns progress towards banging a girl? Shouldn't it be about men doing cool, non-girl related stuff?

Isn't it counter-intuitive to have a MGTOW thread in a forum for relationship advice?

MGTOW doesn't mean you outright avoid all women. There are various levels and schools of thought. Im just not going out of my way to meet women and will probably not pursue getting married.

Not really. It falls within the world of relationship talk.

Dude...from less than 1.00 USD per bit coin to 2200 USD.

If I would have just dumped 1000 bucks into it 2013 I could literally be posting this from ***** on my own Island. Makes me want to Alt F4 life. So this has been the tipping point to get me into investing and monitoring business trends.

Im not actively trying to date. Only because I have more important things in my life. I don't get the whole MGTOW mentality. This thread is fine, because its clear you are focusing on yourself. I just feel the majority of this "movement' are men who are bad with women, "trying" to justify that and "take" their lives back. I feel like there is a stigma with the MGTOW mentality and its real for a reason. There isn't anything wrong with focusing on self improvement and putting women on the back burner. But most of the MGTOW movement is a way to trash women and make yourself feel better about yourself. Not looking at you here OP, just in general.

I support finding yourself before relationships anyway, because that helps sustain real relationships when they build.

In on thread. As a good looking brah who has **** experiences with woman, only thing I can do is self improve and not focus on them too much.

Currently gonna hit the gym with my sister today and that's about it. Still pissed off my recruiter hasn't contacted me for the marines.

I think otaku is in a unique situation where not "finding" himself is NOT the reason why is not successful. I agree, lack of success with women can stem from a negative mentality that results in lack of confidence that is shown towards women. but that implies that if the confidence was there, there would be success with women. I don't think is the case with otaku at all, or myself for that matter. Womens' reactions to us are independent of our mental state/success/independence/etc. This is complicated by the fact that both otaku and I see men get women who have the qualities that embody what everyone is telling on here is the reason why we never get women. "its your confidence" brb see an unconfident guy with his head hanging down with a cute girl. "Its your game". brb see a guy who can't approach a girl get approached and the girl thinks its "cute". and so on and so on. its INCREDIBLY frustrating and the reason why we fight back so much with this "game" bullchit.

I think MTGOW should be about focusing on your life inpedenent of women, but you can't deny that part of the motivation stems from lack of success and bitterness of the situation. that will always exist in some form. the point is, you are still building yourself and choosing to improve for yourself, even if it orignally was from getting just sick of the whole dating game.

Pretty much. The only option at this point is to figure out how to best go about your life knowing pulling women isn't your strong suit.

That's the rub man, i never started my education with business or investing in mind. I know quite a bit about the human body, and nothing about money or investments. I have always been interested in making my money work for me, but have no clue where to start. Lol

Tonight i'm just chillin after work. Cooking and getting patio sorted at new place, might watch movie on couch later on.

Saturday - gym in morning, then meeting a PT buddy at new burger joint on the beach. In evening heading out with an Army buddy whilst he is in from interstate.

Sunday - Might see a FWB otherwise it will be following Sat. I get bored with some of them. It's a 45 min drive for her, all good either way. If weather is golden like last weekend will head to beach&swim, otherwise will study up on few work things on patio.

Life's good.

I see, and what do you hope to accomplish with this philosophy of life? I'm not saying you're this way, but I gave MGTOW a legit chance of persuading me, and they came off as incredibly negative and jaded. This wasn't something I could associate myself with.

Been doing this for about 1.5 months. Go out, get yucky with the boys, girls fall into the fray, stay friendly but I dont push it, and they gravitate towards my other bros.

I just want to "feel" better. Granted nothing can really replace the feels of being in a relationship but idk. I have to do something. Contrary to the empty cliche advice people in this sub section throw out. "Being a man" or "getting over it" or "seeking counseling" isnt going to really fix this dent.

I've been seeing a prostitute for 2 years. Spent over $15,000 on her. I'm actually in love with her and want a relationship with her but she's not interested so I'm just gonna keep putting time and money into her until she changes her mind because I don't have any other prospects or options. And it's highly unlikely I'll ever meet someone better than her.

I also want to learn about investing. I think I'm going to start moving up in my job so I'm gonna learn to invest the extra money I make. Also might go back to school on the side to help with moving up in the company.

Being a "MGTOW" is a way that I've successfully picked up women. Women pick up on this behavior, and are attracted to it. However, it's important that even when you do get a potential girl, that you remember that this is one of the reasons that she was interested in you and continue live this type of "I'm going to live my life, and you can come along or not" type of lifestyle. If not, it's over. This thread has some serious potention, I applaud you OP!

Kudos on your success.

Because a movement about doing your own thing is somehow equivalent to a movement that was originally about gender equality (as third wave feminism have morphed into a different beast) are the same. You're just stupid person trying to be edgy. I stated in the above this thread isnt about chitting on women.
