Less Reliant on Validation

[Anonymous 7]

Every since I went MGTOW I have been extremely less dependent on others emotionally.
I have absolutely no intimate thoughts about women or the want of female friends.

Also I seem to care even less about what other people thought of me than before.
While this thought process is very similar to most MGTOWs I was just comparing this to the ideology of other men my age which is;

Spend thousands of dollars on frats and parties, desperately want a girlfriend, and seek validation on social media. Along with subconsciously doing everything and anything to attract women.
Like how do men even have instagram accounts its sickening.

Brothers do ever seek validation from anyone in real life?

NEVER…. well … not anymore.

Since becoming mgtow EVERYTHING is now 100% focus on my direction.

I have improved myself beyond anything I could have imagined.

I pay women little to no attention … unless I pay by the hour.

In my work I’m cooler, quiter and lazer guided. Many people have passed comment. I’ve even been pushed up for promotion on new equipment …. twice.

I want ALL men to go mgtow. What a fking amazing world it would be.

It would be a much more normal, healthy world. It would also force women to radically change their behavior or they would be very lonely.

It seems that with each wave of feminism, the wreckage of man washes further up the beaches, that is until the riptide of MGTOW!

Don’t worry boys, that’s the sands of time rushing through feminism’s toes, she’ll be washed out to sea within a generation!

Lately I’ve been much more able to just say to people (esp. women) what I think as I have been reading MGTOW resources that explained how to do that and how to reply when somebody gets mad. My mindset completely changed making things much easier. Hell, can you imagine, I, a man, afraid of women until quite recently? That goes against my very nature…I am a man for f~~~’s sake. I am happy that I’ve finally flapped my wings and liberated myself on things like that but also sad that I’ve been programmed to go against my nature for years and now have to toil to reset that as best as I can. F~~~ing hell.

If you don't understand my post at first, no worries, it's probably my English. 😉

women and white knights often spend money they don’t have, trying to impress people they don’t know.

mgtows rarely ever do this kind of s~~~.

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

[Anonymous 24]

The older I get, the less of a s~~~ I give about what others think. In a way, life gets easier even though it gets tougher physically. I pity those over 30 or so and still haven’t broken away from societal pressures. I would say that when you are young all that should matter is family, when you get older, even family pressures should be non existent. It is much easier to do what makes you happy in life, and don’t be fooled if that does not include a full time “respectable” job, a mortgage, a wife, and 2.5 kids with a pair of leased cars in the garage. That actually sounds like my worst nightmare.

I agree with you when you say that MGTOW are less dependent on others’ validation. Most certainly, MGTOW are less dependent on female validation. However, let us not begin to think that we have somehow unshackled ourselves of millennia of evolution. We are social animals; we need validation.
You said that you don’t understand why men have Instagram. This is probably driven by the need for validation.

Men are driven by validation, even MGTOW. However, human beings have evolved to the point where validation from other people can be substituted by self-validation. We can quench the thirst for validation by self-validating.
However, having become cognizant of the fact that self-validation is the best kind (others might argue otherwise), we fall into nihilism.
We are forced to determine the values by which we self-validate.

So, let us not fill ourselves with hubris and mock other men who seek others’ validation (men or women).
They are serving their gynocentric urges to procreate and are willing to hurt themselves.
We should try to reach out to those we care about who are in need of the red pill.

Agree 100%. Surprisingly this isn’t limited to MGTOW – Every year or two i see an article about “Deathbed Regrets” and all that – and coming in at #1

I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

Same happen to me i dont dress thinking about.impressing women, everything.i do after.i became.mgtow.is because.i.like it and don’t give.one fly f~~~ about.what women think.of me

[Mellow midnightsParticipant 19]

I agree with homie redpillman, i could give a damn about what women think of the way i dress. When i look at clothes, im not consumed in fantasies or thoughts of what women would like and what they would be attracted in me wearing. I see something and if i like it I’m gonna sport it regardless of whether i get attention or not, and if i do, i won’t feed women attention in return, screw all the “this or that would look nice on you” lines, and screw all the stereotypes or expectations of people. Happiness can be found from within, I’ll dress up in my favorite outfit to go fishing or camping alone or with a couple of my boys, NO women.

well going mgtow frees your brain to act logicaly and rationaly, so you just realize validation is just a form of shaming tactic employed by society.

I used to seek validation back in what I call my blue pill days. Nothing good ever came to me by seeking popularity.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

[BurgundyParticipant 1525]

Ever since I found this site I have gradually further reduced my spendings on stuff I don’t really need, and gained a surplus of savings. And I thought myself as spartan in my spendings beforehand.

After realizing that MGTOW philosophy, and that you aren’t mad for seeing the world, the way we do, the need for a certain amount of social validation, is reduced or removed.

In short, I learned to care less about s~~~, I really don’t need to care about in the first place, and in a way, MGTOW.com is simply that new validation of it, in a way a replacement, whenever we empty something, we probably just fill it with something new, and hopefully better, which MGTOW core certainly is.

I’ve stopped pretty much. There are a few people I respect in life and their words can sway me and they are usually really experienced in what we are talking about, but other than that people can shove it up their ass. Of course, I think most mgtows don’t really need validation from anyone, because society at large won’t validate our decision to be mgtow, and yet here we are, going our own way. If any of us really needed validation, then we’d be the pussy whipped manginas and white knights we see all around us. A good way to think about it is

“Is this person’s opinion important? In the grand scheme of MY life, who has the final say?”

And you will find it’s you. Life’s about freedom, fellas. Drink it in.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

[Zuberi TauParticipant 10606]

There are men rugged enough to be themselves and not give a fraction of a damn about validation.

Hell, I certainly don’t.
