MGTOWNew guy – MGTOW https://www.mgtow.com/forums/topic/new-guy-3/feed/ Tue, 09 Jun 2020 04:12:58 +0000 http://bbpress.org/?v=2.5.14-6684 en-US https://www.mgtow.com/forums/topic/new-guy-3/page/278/#post-73238 <![CDATA[New guy]]> https://www.mgtow.com/forums/topic/new-guy-3/page/278/#post-73238 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 01:58:00 +0000 I’m 59 years old, divorced twice after two marriages of 10 years each, retired, and settling into a new area after my latest divorce and a move.

I don’t hold any grudges against my ex-wives. I should have seen the signs, especially in the case of the second one. What happened, happened. I paid the bill and walked away. I’m happy to drop it and leave it in the past. I certainly don’t anticipate getting married again.

I still socialize with women. For example I go out dancing a couple nights a week. (My username is a dancing reference.) As I head into my 60s as a confirmed bachelor, it’s important to stay social and build a network of acquaintances for mutual support and for trading off favors (rides to medical appointments and all that). And of course I seek out the company of other men as well: I belong to a gun club and engage in other sports-related activities.

So I’m not down on women. I stay in good shape and present a good appearance. At this age I’m a good catch and the women are pretty aggressive. I keep them at arm’s length and insist that they make the concessions if they want to get any closer that that. So no particular problems there. I just won’t marry them–my pension can’t take another hit like the last one.

So why am I here? I also like to do some chatting on Internet forums and message boards. I was on a couple semi-technical forums in the past and they were pretty easy-going. Guys could be casually crude, and the women would just roll their eyes and say something along the line of “Boys will be boys.” But there seems to have been a change over the last couple years. Now the message boards are run by female moderators, and everything has to be done by strict PC rules. Men are treated like neanderthals, and everyone is supposed to empathize with the rants of the females. If guys want to congregate in their own threads, female onlookers will hover on the fringes waiting to call out any misbehavior. Where there are younger female posters, you actually see rhetoric about how men are all porn-addicted “potential rapists.” If the younger gals don’t like something, they say “That sounds rape-y.” They love attaching the R-word to anything connected with men, in one form or another.

And like I say, those weren’t feminism-oriented message boards. They were semi-technical boards on neutral subjects where feminists took it upon themselves to engage in consciousness-raising and were supported by board management. Anyway, I’ve gotten tired of that stuff. It seems to be pretty rampant on the Internet. So I’m glad to find a place that’s men-only.

Again, I’m okay with women in the flesh. Women of my generation usually aren’t going to get in my face about feminism or whatever. (I just won’t marry them.) But I’m tired of the feminist presence on the Internet acting like it’s subversive when men get together and talk frankly and honestly about their experiences with women. So I’m happy to have a place on the Internet where I can bulls~~~ with other guys without Big Sister throwing a hissy fit (or at least without her doing it in my immediate vicinity).

They throw a hissifit because it ruins their scheming plans. They think we’re all stupid, and when they figure out we’re not and we have our heads together, they get nervous and REALLY dial up the insults.

In a recent example, a woman showed up underneath one of our video posts. We tore apart female behavior and it was shown that it applied to MOST (almost 100%) of women in the room. A women showed up to comment underneath it. You know what she said? Guess.

“Please don’t lump all women together like this. We’re not all like that.” which doesn’t even prove SHE is not like that. Nevermind the other 99.XX %. Of all the things to POSSIBLY comment….. she’s not concerned that men are out there taking it up the financial ass from their deceitful wives. She’s only concerned with how women are perceived, and would never even DREAM of saying “wow Im amazed you guys are all hip to this crap and DOING something about it!!”. Hell would freeze over first.

So we exist for a reason. A good one.

And that’s why notallwomenarelikethat.com points to this website too.

I’m perfectly OK with women in the flesh – and my everyday life – too. They just can’t get away with anything. They really HATE that.

Welcome. Great intro. Happy you found us. Make yourself at home.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Just because we opt not to marry does not mean that we don’t date even less have sex. Yea there are those in the community that would say no to all things related to women if possible but it’s not a general belief. Most guys that I’ve encountered on this website actually share a very similar story as you so I believe so the whole “Why am I here” part wasn’t really necessary in my opinion. I believe that you definitely share plenty of traits with the MGTOW community and as such I welcome you.

I agree. I’ve seen that from browsing the forums. The “Why am I here” part was just for purposes of full disclosure.

Generally, women aren’t a big problem until you have sex with them; at that point, they think they have their hooks in you and look to use it as a guilt trip when they want something from you. But they still haven’t gained any real legal leverage by simply having sex (short of a false rape or abuse accusation). It’s only when you marry them or get them pregnant that they truly become a threat. 🙂
