"Why don't you get a girlfriend?"

[Manspread MansplainerParticipant 4222]

Says my pops.
Haven’t seen the guy in a couple years because it’s long distance.
Lately, when I’ve called him (on speaker with mumsy) he say’s this masterful simp line: “why don’t you get a girlfriend?”

I’m not sure if it’s to sound tough in front my mom or what, but I’m trying to deflect his moronic comments without griping how awful the ‘modern’ woman has become as that would play into his trap.

Example:
Why don’t you get a girlfriend son?
Can’t find one that will live without being sucked into her phone every 10 mins.

This would cause him to have ammo to return in a classic NAWALT argument.
Last thing I want is to go down the road of discussing this with parents.

So I’m going to flip the tables by saying things like:

Dad, I’d rather spend time with you right now. Think if I had a girlfriend I’d be visiting now?

And in front of my mom I can say:

Can’t find a girlfriend talking to you, not sure the last time you looked for a new girlfriend dad but things are different now. I need to protect my assets first.

I’m hoping this will get him to drop it. I know it’s his blue pill plantation mentality, but need to avoid the awkwardness of having my old man bother me with this.

Any other strategies?
Keep in mind I hardly see this guy and he’s getting old.
Also I have no real parent issues as I have been ghosting them for years.

If women ran the world = It would become the shithole you are seeing.

Classic shame tactic. He wants you to be as miserable as he is!

You have to talk to Blue Pill People in Blue Pill Language that they will understand.

“Son, Why haven’t you got a girlfriend ? ”

“Dad, I’m waiting for the RIGHT ONE, and in the mean time I’m doing my best to work hard, pat my bills, and save my cash so when the right one comes along I will have something to offer her. ”

“That’s a good Son. ”

Wow. That is blue pill.

“Have something to offer her” Haaaaaaa!

Of the three answers I would take the third:

I’ve got another take on his reason for wanting to see you fit in. This is something I figured out years after when my dad was hassling me to get a girlfriend when I was 19.

He was getting peer pressure from his colleagues at work.

The old boys discuss how their kids are turning out at lunch break and my dad must have had the only son who didn’t have a girlfriend. I think he got sick of trying to fend off subtle or not so subtle accusations that “His boy may be a F~~”!!

He had no need to worry as I made up for my slow start with women pretty soon after.

Anyways. All I can say is that I was mad at him for pressuring me, but I never considdered that he may have been getting pressure himself.

Don’t be too hard on your dad. He only wants what (he thinks) is best for you.

I know your situation may not allow it, but I would struggle not to just lay it out there. “I don’t want a girlfriend because she would make me miserable and I want to keep being happy.”

I think Awakened has the best response if you can’t be truthful.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

My son doesn’t have a girlfriend because he’s too busy f~~~ing your wives!

I simply tell my parents I didn’t work as hard as I did in school and as I do now. To be control by some asshole in a dress and a pair to stiletto’s. Give no f~~~s and just speak your mind and let it be.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

Couldn’t do that anymore. I just don’t care that much.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

If you really want to get him off your back, tell him you have been looking and dating, but haven’t found anyone like Mom yet.

I approve.

Sometimes when dealing hard-core blue pills, you have to blow smoke up their asses.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

In my opinion, It’s just the easiest way to shut them down because they are NEVER going to understand. So, WHY continue to fight the pointless battle ???

“Minimum necessary.”

The least amount of work and information necessary. Not just for dealing with cupcakes.

Cupcakes are Cold. MGTOW is Absolute Zero.

For years I went through this with the grandparents. When are you getting married.. when are you having kids… I always laughed it off and said it probably wouldnt happen to look to someone else. They thought I was joking but I was always serious. Still am. Point is love your pop as blue pill as the f~~~er is, but if he cant handle the truth thats on him.

The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us!"....... and i'll look down and whisper "No."

Use your Akido

deflect (I’m waiting for the RIGHT ONE)

and redirect (in the mean time I’m doing my best to work hard, pat my bills, and save my cash).

Perfect Plan

Last time a family member asked me this question I looked at her as if were about to punch her in the throat and said, after the last one I don’t want another one.

That was about 10 years ago and I have not been asked the question since.

You are focusing on your career.

This. Awakened is entirely correct. The best way to deflect those question is to “agree and amplify”.

A less effective way is to bring up a negative example personally known the questioner. I have an aunt who asked me about marriage plans every time we met. I “agreed and amplified” for years which didn’t stop her prying. What finally ended her questions was this:

– When are you going to find a girl and settle down?
– You mean like Rick?

Rick was her son who had been divorced raped, briefly imprisoned on the usual DV charges, falsely accused of child molestation, and lived on the streets for a period of time.

My aunt doesn’t ask me that question anymore.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

I haven’t any children, but I naturally assume a Father wants his son to do better than him. I know I certainly wouldn’t desire my son to tread the path I have.

[BadgerParticipant 2277]

Great response, OldBill! There are always family members or friends that can be cited as bad examples. Another thing if it is a parent asking, if they are concerned that you might be gay, assure them you are not if you aren’t.
