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

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.

*sniff* Darn dude *pats on back* It’s not to late to find a harpy to suck you dry of your freedom and ambition. It’ll get better…o wait. No it WON’T HAHA.

are you a chia pet in man drag

I enjoyed being single. I always heard that married men are more mature. I always disagreed and figured they were just jealous. They’re more house broken is all. I’m not single anymore, but I wish I was. I could’ve stayed single if I hadn’t been blind, and I would still have ended up with lots of nieces and grandnephews. The answer to “Don’t you want a family?” Life is what you make it. Don’t put yourself in a position where your happiness depends on someone else and you’ll do fine.

Let me start with a Thoreau quote, brother:

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

I’ll you, that in Thoreau’s day most of that mass of men were married.

Being single does not equate loneliness. Being married does not automatically provide companionship. Remember that.

We often post that famous Robin Williams’ quote here; “I used to think the worst think in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.” Remember that too.

There are plenty of men who come home from work, eat their dinner, and sit on the couch until it’s time to go to bed. Those men are lonely and many are married with children.

I live alone, yet I am not lonely. I am not lonely because I am active. Some of my activities are solitary ones, some involve other people. All that matters is that I am active mentally and physically.

I am engaged in my life. Being single gives me the opportunity to deepen that engagement in the best manner I see fit. I and my needs alone are the only things which constrain my life.

Being over fifty and single is a blessing.

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

For me it would be as follows.

1. Being single, raising my daughter while holding down a career. My career advancement slowed dramatically, despite having to be able to deploy immediately.
My life became shared responsibilities and commitment between my child and my career. I wasn’t even on the list of importance. It was just my job and her, so in essence I was married. I had no freedom to do as I pleased.
I was just sleep walking through life doing whatever my duty had to be at the time until my daughter reached her age of majority.
It was still a metric f~~~ tonne better than having her mother around draining me of finances, energy, and self respect.

2. Unattached, single, and alone.
Infinitely better. ALL of my time, resources, energy, thoughts, and all my concerns are about me and what I need or want. My daughter has reached age of majority and is gone.
The only thing keeping me here is the property I bought 12 years ago, and I am now preparing it to sell.
I quit my job, liquidated every unnecessary asset, got rid of a bunch of debts and I am preparing to continue to live the rest of my life the way I want to.

For me being “attached” to another human being is like being chained by the neck, wrists, and ankles to a single spot in a deep dark cave in perpetual slavery for her benefit. I believe I am a tad exhausted of supporting others, and am taking a chance on taking care of myself now.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

Yes. I also approach 50 next year.

Living single? People ask.

I say: “Since when do racing cars have a trailer clutch?”

My story is a longer one. Women turned me into a racing car, racing away from them at full speed.

Gargamel's 7-part MGTOW story introduction – as a work in progress

In July of 2018, this honey pot forum was sold out to an unidentified NPC sock puppet and troll organization. Most independent thinkers and writers migrated to other MGTOW forums as a result of the never-ending infighting and deliberate trouble starting caused by members who were given "carte blanche" by the admin to do whatever they want. Before my departure, I only left a few thousand cat pics here to comfort and ridicule the feminist owners who now run this place. Their background agenda is to make MGTOW look like a club of losers the public eye. And during the course of 2019, they actually managed to destroy almost all other MGTOW venues as well. Here is the truth about "theindependentman.org" aka "TIM" which was created as an extended workbench to further divide the community.

I agree sir. My dad is in his early 60s, and him and my mom have been married for 30 something years. I remember the whole time I was growing up any time my dad wanted to hang out with a friend, usually a coworker, my mom gave him a ration of s~~~. It was so bad he just stopped trying to have friends.

They are still married…but they barely just tolerate each other. My mom always threatens him with divorce, but I don’t think she’ll pull the trigger because she’s pushing 60 herself and not in that great of health. I think she likes to know that when her health inevitably takes a turn for the worst again my dad will be there for her.

Long story short…my dad is now one of the loneliest people I know. He was never allowed to have friends, he has a brother in law and a cousin he’ll do s~~~ with on the weekend once in a while, and that really only started later in life after my brother and I were grown and my mom got more interested in her friends than her home life, but beyond that, that is pretty much his entire social circle. 9 out of 10 times I just randomly stop by on the weekend he’s just home sitting on the couch watching tv absolutely thrilled someone stopped by to shoot the s~~~ for a while. Its f~~~ing terrible…its like he’s been trained over several decades that my mom could do whatever she wanted without him, but if he was doing something fun it had to include her. I’m not over 50 myself but when I look out how my dad’s life turned out I couldn’t imagine he’d be any more lonely than he is now if he just divorced 10-15 years ago and spent more time focusing on himself rather than being subservient to a woman who wanted to own him.

As a 60+ MGTOW all I can say that that the life of a lonely senior citizen that has cut off contact with women is just better than having to interact women with their role in society. Sadly, having to fight against all my biological and genetic urges is a not a pleasant experiences. We have seen how this and a society has turned Catholic priests who divert their sexual urges to alter boys.
As I see it, MGTOW is a stalling action against our biological destiny, though it is the lessor evil to what is in store for humanity.
