I have to say, this website has really put me in a great mood. Some posts I’ve read gave me the perspective, from the person posting, that this site trends to the negative. I don’t agree. Men are gruff and straight forward with one another when things count.
For the last two – three years before I found MGTOW I have been a complete wreck full of insecurities about my physical appearance, and lack of accomplishments. I believe I was slowly programmed to believe this through the influences of the last “she devil” I was trying to follow societal norms with.
With the appearance of more than intolerable behavior continuing to become present in the “she devil” my resolve started to solidify.
I up and walked out of the “she devil’s” life without telling her when it was going to happen or how. I made a plan, had patience, and followed through. I really wasn’t sure what to expect for my future. I left because the intolerable behavior could not be tolerated anymore.
When I bought my house and moved in I was on a high. It is my decision what new appliances I was going to get, what style of furniture suite me best, what paint I was going to select to make this house mine, etc. Things seemed… better?
No, I was still dragging the sulky, wimpy, insecure me through life. I had a good start immediately after leaving, but there was still a lot I did not recognize that I was missing. I started to feel as though I was stuck in a rut with the diff case half submerged in muck, and/or high centered. The wheels are spinning and there is a lot of noise, but I wasn’t moving my own way to betterment.
I would come home every day with lack of motivation. I would get the basic chores done, etc., but there was no improvement to my station.
I don’t even remember how I came about this MGTOW movement/ideology, but it has forced me to self-analyze my way of thinking, and conduct in general.
This week after my first posts and lurking on others I decided to finally climb down out of the Jeep and grab the shovel, winch cable, and Hi-Lift jack. Damn, I can see with clarity all the stuck I am actually in now. It is some disgusting muck, gentlemen. No tow truck is making it down this trail to help. I’m going to get this thing moving again, and I’m going to get it done solo.
There are those here in a world of hurt, and there are some that seem to be on top of the world while others are somewhere in between. Before coming here I thought I was at the bottom, but come to find out there are other poor bastards worse off than I. Whether you can buy a gold Rolex, or barely afford a can of soup, we all have one thing that few others have – an understanding that societal norms are not correct. We may be fighting our own individual battles, but our direction is the same, and it is our own way! If you are on the bottom… keep working because your accomplishments are going to be that much more grand!
I wanted to thank you guys for providing a man’s garage forum, and the instructions on how to use my shovel, winch, and jack. Directly, or indirectly, in some cases, you all provided me something to strive for… making myself better which leads to a better life.
I made a bet on another thread about limiting the unnecessary in life as much as possible. I started that yesterday – one less beer was drank for the night. Tonight, one less. Also, the Total Gym, dumbbells, and Wavemaster will be reintroduced to the schedule. My inner twelve year old plans on kicking my ass everyday now, and I’m actually looking forward to it.
Thank you for the recovery tools instructions, gentlemen!
MGTOW helps men build their inner strength and turn away from the consequences of over indulgence of the unnecessary.
