Any 50+ yr old MGTOWs want to share their experiences being single?

[OneforfreedomParticipant 930]

So one of the things that I keep being bombarded with, even though I have decided not to pursue marriage/relationships, is that I will “grow to be a lonely old depressed man.” This statement is hurled at me from both males and females.

I have decided that the best way to counter the insecurity that this statement could generate, is to hear examples of happy living from MGTOWs who are on the older side of life. Can anyone age 50+ share how happy they are as a MGHOW?

I’ll put this as simple as I can…… I no longer have the 10,000 biting flies chewing on my brain!
It’s amazing how much torment you can take before you realize it’s torture!
There’s something about the male mangina mind that has an extraordinary ability to ignore pain, and paint things in a more acceptable light, they also view life from the obscured vision of feminism, like driving a race car while looking through soda bottles!

Millions of lonely old me out there …. that are still married to someone that hates their guts.

Go ask an old married man when the wife is not around.

I am very happy now. Even if I die alone ….. that’s fine.

Just no nagging or bitching … I’d sell a ball for that deal.

Men are good alone … they can survive …

Females not so much….. and I’m glad.

51 here, and happier than I have been in a long time. Now, you and I won’t be in the same position because I’m divorced with two teenage daughters. So, it sucks not being with them every day, because I actually love the day to day with my girls and it sucks to only see them in small chunks of time. But being away from the daily grind with the ex is priceless.

I think you may have a greater appreciation for heaven if you have actually seen just had a tour in hell. But heaven’s still pretty sweet!

I spent part of New Year’s with three friends, one freshly divorce and two married. The married guys aren’t necessarily in hell, but they are still jealous. Even an OK women is a pain in the ass to live with. The two married guys were my roommates in college and right after. They both want to go back to those days. BBQ every night, ping pong, sports on TV all the time. What a s~~~ty existence.

Plus, the money. Oh good God the money. I would be a multi millionaire if I never got married.

Tell your friends to f~~~ off. Or don’t. They will be potential roommates after their tour in hell.

Order the good wine

Even though I am not quite the age group you’re addressing here Oneforfreedom I am happy, too and I could go on a bet saying that I would most definitely post the same following few lines here again in about five and a half years’ time:

“I am a single in justified delight,
with no f~~~s given
to put up any pointless fight.”

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body. Back to the plantation..? Me..? Hey, literally: I won't ever fucking kid myself...YZERLMNTSIC

“grow to be a lonely old depressed man.”

When people hurl catchphrases at you, it means they are running on autopilot. They are not exerting conscious control of their lives. They are merely justifying the failures in their own lives by projecting them onto you.

The way I figure it, “lonely and depressed” could happen to anyone be he single or married. I am taking my chances with single.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

[Anonymous 7]

I’m 45 and it’s not a problem for me.
Probably not what you’re wanting to hear if you’re like most, but 8 years ago I was a mess after my divorce (exit affair on her part).

I had a spiritual experience when I was at my lowest point back then, and for me at least, that’s made all the difference.

Now I never feel “alone”, not totally. Everyone has their moments, hell… even happily married people feel alone sometimes. But it’s rare for me.

But I’d say being alone for 8 years straight and being healthier mentally,emotionally, and spiritually speaks for itself.

My solution was in realizing that religion itself was gynocentric… a bad boy devil who women can’t resist, and a good boy savior who they know they need but can’t accept is sacrificed daily. It’s all the perfect model of a woman’s subconsious animus.

Anyway, I followed my own path spiritually (MGTO(S)piritualW?) and here I am, and it’s bearing much fruit after 8 years.

Hope that helps.

[Anonymous 7]

Oh, and the bonus… I never liked myself when I was married. I couldn’t be alone.

Now, I’m so comfortable with myself that I prefer my own company.

That’s quite a change and speaks for itself I think.

Thank you all for your responses!

Can you go into some details on why even an OK woman is “a pain in the ass to live with?”
Why can’t those married guys do BBQs, ping-pong, sports?

Congratulations on your spiritual experience.
Excellent. This helps bring me a ton of reassurance. Thank you so much!!!!

I’ll be 50 in the not too distant future.

Every man I know who is either married or in a long term relations~~~ is jealous of me so that speaks volumes.

First of all, Happy Birthday in advance.
Second, can you please share some specific examples that showed you that a man in a relationship is jealous of you? Did they say something that indicated they were jealous? Stories/your experiences will help a lot!

I had a 47 year old married man tell my I was smart for not being married.

I predict he will divorced within 3 years.

Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.

@oneforfreedom:

To be fair, I’ve had more than a few friends try to set me up and tell me I should be married as misery loves company.

I’ve never been married, and I’ve had a few married friends tell me to never get married. I’m one to heed the wise words of others especially when they match my observations.

It’s mostly snarky comments about how they are envious of me being able to do whatever I want whenever I want while they have to beg for permission to do anything. Even when I’ve been in relationships, I just did whatever the f~~~ I wanted to do anyway. That really gets them p~~~ed at you come branch swinging time too.

Have you ever seen a grown mangina beg for permission from his wife via a mobile phone to order a $5 meal at a fast food restaurant using money he made? Well, I have, and it’s scary yet funny too.

This mangina sat there silently while my other friend and I ate our food. Had he not been so pathetic we probably would have paid for it ourselves. I’ve seen the same thing happen over a six pack of beer too with another friend.

These types of marriages are ones where the man is simply a slave. The ones I know where the man does what he wants to do result in my friends having knock down verbal fights with their wives wasting precious energy and finite male time.

It’s just a hell of a lot simpler being single. I am not lonely and have a very content life.

Damn, that fast food situation is just ridiculous.
Thanks for the write-up.

Also, because of this post and other ones of yours that I really like, I want you to know that you are the first person on this website that I will “follow” through the profile settings option.

My woman has been ok at times. Better than some, and not bad (like Christmas eve most of the time)

Her mood changes with the cycle, she decides when we sex, Her money is her money my money is our money, she can be loud when frustrated, can’t handle stress well, throws fits, drove my friends away, relies on me to figure out many things….

Oh wait, it is that bad.

Are you guys married? Was she always like this? If not, when did such behavior first surface?

[Anonymous 24]

After doing the wife and kids thing, this extreme MGTOW went off on his own at the age of 51 and ended up living in the woods, alone, for the most part, until he was 82. He was an incredible man. Women do not have this in them and this is what separates us. Men can be just fine alone, even in the extreme sense of the word. Just laugh the shaming off and do as you please.

[TheWalkerParticipant 58]

I just turned 52 and found out about MGTOW in the last year or so although I realise I’ve been doing down that route for quite some time now. I still want to see women because I enjoy the sex BUT I am less prepared to put up with their bulls~~~ for the sake of pussy. Which I’m perfectly happy with.
On a personal note I’m working very hard on my fitness which is my investment for the future. I can run a half marathon in less than 2 hours and am training for a full marathon. It saddens me greatly that so many women here in the UK are overweight – knock off the stupid women, fat women, entitled women and all the special snowflakes and I wonder if there’s anybody left.

Crap, it won’t let me edit my accidental double post of that video… Anyhow I was trying to post part 1 and 2, you can find em on Youtube…

[Dr PhibesParticipant 155]

WARNING! Do NOT end up like me!

I’ll be 51 this year, no kids, never married.

I have no debt, own all of my possessions outright, have money in the bank, and work because I want to, not because I have to.

I have plenty of friends, but I can be alone whenever I feel like it. Speaking of friends, 25 years ago they all warned me that I would die alone and that the longer I waited to find someone, the harder it would be. Now, these same friends tell me that they wished they’d stayed single, like I did.

If I want to do something, I do it. If I want to go somewhere, I book a flight. If I want to eat something, I’ll go out and get it, or make it myself.

Whenever I get the urge, I rub one out or occasionally hire a (legal) pro.

Yeah, life sucks. Whatever you do, don’t end up like me.
