I hail from Scotland as you probably guessed I am 23 years old and like many of you agree with the thoughts shared about how negative women are these days due to society and feminism etc. I know what many of you may be thinking right now, what only 23?? That’s nothing and this guy probably has not had the experience to fully understand what it is we are talking about, well I have to say that may be true but my young age doesn’t make me blind to the fact about how much easier the female of our species has it in our modern day to day world. This movement of men going their own way is something I am thoroughly interested in as I believe it will help me in life as it has evidently done so for many others. I would however expect nothing but the truth from anyone who decided to comment on this post about what they might think of it. This would be my first dose, of the red pill.

23 is old enough to know how gynocentric our society is. I’m 19 and a MGTOW. Here you’ll meet fellow MGHOWs who are even younger.
Yes it’s true that you’ll improve a lot after you stop chasing women. That is mainly because of saved resources (time, money, and labor). I suggest you start reading the archives, all the content is amazing and heavy in dose.

If you’re confused about where to start then I recommend this: Comments from Married Men. This is the most eye opening article on the blog and will teach you the 1st lesson of MGTOW, i.e. Never Get Married.

I am new myself though alot older (36 soon yay), and from your description you’ll fit right in. The big question the way I see it, is if you yearn to be a punching bag for a woman the rest of your life or not. If ‘no’, then you’ve definitely come to the right place.

Whatever you do with that knowledge; forming a family aware of the risks or living the life of an eternal bachelor? Now THAT is your way, you choose!

 

Anyhow, welcome.

Interesting article, but I disagree with a lot of what was said.  Based upon my personal experience

In my opinion women’s attempts to control their husbands are an instinctively motivated test of his strength and character. Deep down they want the man to rise to their challenge, not give in. Giving in to them all the time brings out their worst while standing up to them in a fair-handed way brings out their best.

Complete and utter balderdash.  Standing up to them brings about a relentless campaign to break you.

Over time the nagging, moods, etc greatly lessen if you make sure those tactics are the one sure way she never gets her way.

More bulls~~~.  The nagging and the moods do not lessen.  They intensify.

Society expects my to waste my life by serving others as a worker-drone in organized gene replication unit. Thanks, but no thanks. I will spend my life doing things that are good for me, because I am worth it.

The most accurate and eloquent assessment of marriage and the alternative I have ever read.

I’ve read Men on strike. Good book, but in the end I got the feeling she only wanted the plantation to stay whole and was just willing to reach further than other females to make it happen.

The comments are not from true Red Pillers, that’s why some are inaccurate. Still, those men have suffered first hand and are trying to figure it all out. It’s basically a mental talk to themselves. Did you read all of the nine sections?

In addition to ILiveAgain’s list (I’ve read them all). I’d also add “No More Mr. Nice Guy” by Dr. Robert Glover and “The Red Pill Handbook” 2nd edition. The latter is available as a free download at r/TheRedPill.

Yes I agree but there is much truth and insight also.

On balance it’s still good for 80% of it.

Just work on yourself, and don’t be driven by social expectations.  Define how you will interact with women, by your terms, not social norms, and become a better man.  Find your own way, and make it work.  Along the way likely involves getting resources so you can walk with more autonomy and not driven by demands of society.  Know that loneliness and your sex drive can end up undermining this, so learn to manage.

What matters more that you do it, than worry about a label, if you fit in or not.  I believe the core of MGTOW is Your Own Way (Men Going Their Own Way, for me means that it is each man going his own way, not as a collected unified way).   So, to not be MGTOW would be for you to go the way of someone else.

In all this, there will be skills that are recommended to be developed, so you don’t make things worse for yourself.  But, I won’t say what, because you don’t know me, and it would be presumptive for me to tell you now what these skills are.

Well, that is my take.  As you ask around, I am sure you will get dozens of other ones.  Find the take that works for you.  The rabbit hole can be seen as going VERY deep.
