    Seems like 25-26 is the age for everyone to get married and start having kids. People I once knew, friends, associates all getting married and tying that knot. Kid on the way. None of its for me. As each year goes by I lose more and more interest in people. I’ve found a lot of happiness on my own. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t need other people to be satisfied with life, though I’m not 100% yet and don’t think it’s possible to be as life changes so much and you have to adapt learn and relearn things constantly. I get asked all the time how I do it, how I deal with being “alone” fact is I love it. I don’t waste time. I’ve picked up guitar again, learning ham radio for the license, fix and sell garbage picked small engine stuff and appliances for money on the side, opening an IRA and fully funding it for the year. Fact is my own happiness for the past few years has not been had because of others. It’s because of me. And Mgtow.

    how I deal with being “alone”

    I’m asked that same question all the time, 90% by women.
    It’s a guilt/shaming tactic…
    Flip it right back: “Why do you ask? Are you alone?”

    Another favorite is “Don’t you want to get married?”
    Response: “Nope, don’t want to get divorced!”

    Or “Don’t you like kids?”
    Response “Sure, I like pizza too, but I’m not going to got out and buy a Pizza Hut Franchise.”

    I’m going to be 24 in the summer, so I’m getting close to that age. I have one classmate that is married and I’ve heard of a couple of former students getting married now that they have graduated, but I don’t really speak with people about this topic so I can’t really say what they are doing as a group. As for my classmate, that poor bastard has a kid on the way. So he is graduating, looking for a job, supporting a family, and trying to get his career as a musician going. I feel sorry for him and hope the woman doesn’t divorce rape him.

    Yep, guess things haven’t changed as much as people claim. Well, before people used to get married before 20, especially women. The age has gone up a bit, but it’s kind of been at around 24-26 for awhile now.

    Some people on here claim that MGTOW is really catching on and marriage rates are really dropping, but I don’t know. Still seems to me the vast majority get married in the mid to late 20s. We are outliers, and I can’t see myself being any other way. I’m a lot older than that now and set in my ways, so even if things changed I just don’t see it.

    It would be awesome to me if the majority became MGTOW and marriage rates collapsed. Because when that would seriously start happening, there is no way the status quo could keep going.

    The truth of the matter is women badly need men, and not the other way around. Women have zero leverage or bargaining power the second men actually withdraw. Men would not have to do a thing besides withdraw ourselves, women would dismantle feminism and the misandrist government and media overnight. I guarantee you this.

    The only reason feminism keeps going is because the majority of men are blue pill and support it all. Women are nothing but followers. They only say feminist stuff because they think men like hearing it. If they thought men hated feminism they would drop it.

    Response: “Nope, don’t want to get divorced!”

    The way I am prepared to say it, and I believe I am getting this from Keymaster, is “I don’t believe in divorce”. Not only do I not want a divorce, I don’t believe in agreeing to a contract that is supposed to be “till death do us apart” that can simply be ended by one of the parties involved.

    At my age, I get asked the “why don’t you have a girlfriend yet” by my relatives. I’m not 100% sure how I am going to answer that next time. For now I’m just prepared to say something along the lines of “I’d rather do other things”, but then that invites the “die alone” type of comments and I’d rather not reveal too much about my views and insult my married relatives.

    I broke up with my last girlfriend at 27, at which point I went back to school for another 2 years for another degree and spent a year totally disinterested in dating because I was applying for jobs all over the country and wanted to be able to just move with no loose ends if I got an offer I had to move for…so in the end I wouldn’t have had the time or desire to date even if I thought a unicorn fell in my lap until 31 when I got settled in my new job.

    In that 4 year period the women have declined dramatically. I’m pretty sure the number of single moms around my age during the last 5 years has gone from about 1 in 4 of single girls to 9 out of 10 lol. Most of them also age like s~~~. Its strange how if I compare a picture of myself today with one when I was 25 I think I look older now, but people still think I’m younger than I actually am because they’ve gotten so use to the average 32 year old looking older and worn out from not taking care of themselves. I literally had a chick younger than me tell me the other night “Wait until you get to be 30” lol.

    Plus if you keep your own s~~~ together you continue to accumulate assets as you age, where as at this point in my life now its become quite obvious people who are train wrecks in their 20s are just bigger train wrecks in their 30s. Maybe I’d have tried to salvage a train wreck 10 years ago when the damage was a few thousand in debt and a couple loser exes, but now the damage is often a kid(s), more ex boyfriends than they would ever want you to know about it and the emotional damage that comes along with a decade of being a cum dumpster, and the difference in my assets to their debts meaning even a relatively short marriage could cost me a six figure sum…no f~~~ing thanks.

    People may ask you at 26 when are you going to settle down and have kids, and you might even doubt yourself a bit like you aren’t doing something right in life…but give it 5 more years, when people ask you that same question you’ll laugh in their face. When the dating pool is obviously comprised of single moms and whores who fell off the carousel its hilarious when people ask when you’ll marry up.

    marriage

    No way…MGTOW might be outliers but marriage is definitely on the decline. Admittedly I’m sure the numbers will tick up a bit as younger millennials are dragging the average down a bit, but if millennial marriages are lower than Gen X marriages it won’t even be 1/3 of us who end up married.

    I’m an older millennial, and a lot of the people I grew up with, friends, coworkers, and cousins are all in the same age bracket, and even among the 26+ millennials I’d think 26% being married is actually over estimated…I’d guess it around 10%, but I also think your region has a lot to do with that statistic as well. I live in a more liberal state…I’m sure if I was out in Utah or something it would be higher.

    I’m in my late 20’s so I’m still relatively young, but I’m so jealous of you young MGTOW’s. I wish I had this type of knowledge when I was f~~~ing 19. Thank god I don’t have kids though.

    Yeah I think the younger ages drag it down. If you just look at 26-33 it’s probably a higher percentage.

    But as I stated earlier, don’t get me wrong, I WANT the marriage rate to drop. I just have to be realistic. Most people still get married, just at older ages. Not MGTOW, but the blue pill men, who are definitely the majority.

    And even if they don’t get married, nowadays it becomes LTR with cohabitation which courts just count as marriage when cupcake wants to cash out. Until men cut off relations with women completely, nothing changes. These women get all the benefits of marriage without just having the ceremony right now. An LTR with cohabitation is no different than what marriage used to be hundreds of years ago, before the government had official records on it. It’s not like there was a government registry and stuff like that historically, yet it was still counted as marriage. And what was marriage? Just “yeah she’s my wife” and that made it marriage.

    A lot of these younger people, without being married, still hold themselves out as married. They will call their gf “wifey” and other words like that, sometimes “bae” and a bunch of other things I might not necessarily know the slang for.

    As long as men are still giving financial and emotional support as if they were married, women have no incentive to change anything.

    At some level it doesn’t matter if mgtow gets big or not.

    I have saved myself and that is what counts.

    If more get saved it is better, but some men will never learn.

    Aloneness does not have to be loneliness if you are the person in control of your life and are not trying to manipulate some other person for something. People who are alone and who feel lonely are just looking for someone to enslave or to entertain them or to manipulate to get some goodies from them. I have spent decades alone and don’t get lonely. Some of the other older and wiser members here keep saying that when you don’t want or need something from someone else, you are free of wanting to be around them.

    At my age, I get asked the “why don’t you have a girlfriend yet” by my relatives.

    I get that as well. Plus, I’m 25 and have NEVER dated in my life at all. This makes some people in my family think I’m gay as well. Which is hilarious to say the least. Before I found this website, I was still blue pill, but I held onto the “NAWALT” argument and only believed western women were c~~~s. After finding this website, I now know all women are c~~~s and will always screw you over if given the chance.

    Oh, and this is what I tell them when they ask me “when are you going to get a girlfriend?”

    : When are you going to get a girlfriend?

    : I’m just focusing on my career right now and getting my IT certs. Later in life when I’m settled down, I’ll THINK about dating.

    That way, I don’t start any drama or fights. I’m currently living with my parents now, so I definitely have to sugar coat what I say on subjects like that.

    Now if I were on my own, I’d be more blunt and say s~~~ like:

    : What the f~~~ do I need a girlfriend for? I have sex toys, porn, and when they get more advanced, virtual reality sex. Sex isn’t the worth the risk of STDs, pregnancy scares, or false accusations. So f~~~ that s~~~.

    Most of them also age like s~~~. Its strange how if I compare a picture of myself today with one when I was 25 I think I look older now, but people still think I’m younger than I actually am because they’ve gotten so use to the average 32 year old looking older and worn out from not taking care of themselves. I literally had a chick younger than me tell me the other night “Wait until you get to be 30” lol.

    Haha, I get the same s~~~. I maybe 25, but I look like I’m f~~~ing 15 years old to most people. Whenever I go to bars or casinos, I get carded almost every 10 minutes.

    When are you going to get a girlfriend?

    As a rule now, I would never answer a woman’s questions as directly as you did — by explaining yourself. That answer can be met with a smile and playing with these people.

    Why are you speaking about a girlfriend like she is a an object like a car?

    “A girlfriend or a wife? What for?? I can just find any woman who hates me and buy her a house!”

    … or a MGTOW response ….

    MGTOW: “A girlfriend us just a woman’s silly idea where she expects an unmarried man to behave like a husband, not bang other chicks and pay for everything. What IDIOT would ever sign up for THAT?”

    I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t need other people to be satisfied with life, though I’m not 100% yet and don’t think it’s possible to be as life changes so much and you have to adapt learn and relearn things constantly.

    Eloquently spoken by a man who regards himself as a work in progress.
    Well said.

    Seems like 25-26 is the age for everyone to get married and start having kids

    Which is JUST BEFORE a man begins to conceptualize his true potential and dreams.
    HER dreams realized. His dreams gone.

    Haha, give it 5 more years, you’ll stop giving a f~~~. I usually just tell people now I’m going to retire before I’m 40 and go live in Thailand where I could have sex with an endless supply of hot young hookers that will cost me a fraction of what a divorce at 40 would cost me. What better way to put a woman in her place than basically tell them you fully realize the only value of a woman is vagina.

    If you want the PG version just say you want to retire early and move to an Asian or South American country where living is much cheaper and you could easily find a wife 10-15 years younger. You still kinda come off as a blue pill white knight…but at the same time rejecting the femic~~~ whores most American women are these days in a passive manner.

    I’m definitely gonna use this next time someone asks me that stupid question. I’m tired of explaining myself constantly to women and blue pill men.

    I told my parents and other family members this before as well. I leave out the wife part, but my parents especially will think I’ll “suddenly change my mind” when I get older. I just ignore it now most of the time.

    But, the only thing that shuts my parents up is if I constantly explain myself.

    I am HAPPY to be single, never wanted kids anyway. When I am asked about the girl friend. I just tell them, I happy the way I am. Saying I know too many guys who have destroyed by divorce and the family courts. That’s one road I want to avoid at all cost. It p~~~es them off when I say that as they know the cats out of the bag on that one. They try to shame me, but I look at them like I don’t give a s~~~. It makes them really p~~~ed off.

    No way…MGTOW might be outliers but marriage is definitely on the decline.

    I’ve been thinking about the “declining marriage numbers.” I don’t think they reflect any drastic cultural shift. The new generation doesn’t get married anymore; rather, they have common law relationships, which are pretty much the same thing.

    I’d be willing to bet that common law marriages are on the rise.

    Common law marriages are defiantly on the rise, I know a few couples who live together, but are not married, but live like they are. Heck even the pope came out and said he hates common law marriages. He also came out and told us MGTOWS to get married as it goes against religion.

    Just like you, I’ve never dated. I made that decision at 18 and I’m in my early 30’s now.
