I suppose when I found this site, it was a breath of fresh air and was a place where I could finally feel amongst brethren, so in hindsight, I probably got pretty carried away.

This one hit close to home for me. Since joining the forums with my intro that self proclaimed: “I am the guy that usually keeps his mouth shut until my opinion is needed”(or something to that effect). I have chimed in on topics for sheer sport of putting in my 2 cents. Even though, most of the time others have already hit the key points(this post displays that fact clearly).

While still in the lurking stage and even now, some of the most influential posts were/are the long drawn out types that broke the issue down instead of just generalizing it. Thats what men do when problem solving. If same style of problem solving is used for automotive repair techniques, it is considered good. The thing is, automotive repair is a norm for men(more acceptable) and deals with many more definites than human behavior and social influence. Therefore, it takes a little more “yammering” to get the point across sometimes. So when explaining a social norm(point A) to a new and better way (point B). The directions of logical path are sometimes necessary to validate the point. The fact is, that the old school values of “its better left unsaid and move on” has become obsolete due to the changing social norm when dealing with women and the environment around us. If we do not change with it, we are left very exposed to being taken for a chump. Mgtow is about sharing information and a lifestyle to counter that.

Lastly, your friend is likely to just have different interests at the moment. If this was (again) an automotive forum and his interests were in computing. A detailed post on an engine overhaul would likely give him a similar opinion of being more drawn out than necessary. So it is far from something to kick yourself in your manly low hanging humongous testacles over. So keep the red pills coming and prattle away.

My 2 cents.

haha you guys are so f~~~ing great.

At risk of making another “wordy” post:

I really appreciate you guys being so great about it, and I thank you for taking the time to include your thoughts on the matter.  After everything I’ve been through in life, and some of the very weird and not so wonderful places I’ve been, I can not stress enough that I count your fellows opinions as some of the most important “things” I’ve ever encountered.  I am a very spiritual person by nature.  Please don’t confuse that with organized religion.

It is difficult at times to put into words.  This place is extremely important to me.  Therefore I never want to treat it as somewhere that I might hurt or annoy my fellow brothers.  I am an exceptionally protective person by nature.

I have spent what feels sometimes like an eternity wandering in the desert.  I truly believe this place to be a stop on a Pilgrimage of mine.  For lack of a better word, this place actually has Religious meaning to me.  I have spent my life without a term for how I lived my life, and quite alone.  Imagine stumbling upon a bastion which contained so many similar souls after half a century of walking a very lonely, and at times very rocky path.  It was and continues to be an uncanny experience.

I often thank Keymaster for this place, often to the point where it would appear that I am being a sycophant, or am what one might deem to be a “suck-up”.  This is not the case.  I’ve not yet found words to express the true importance of MGTOW.com.  I probably won’t.  That’s probably why I don’t shut the f~~~ up.  I keep trying to spit it out, to no avail.

I would hate to see anyone taking this place for granted.  Or just treating it as another place where they can come by and be a user who just s~~~s out two comments out of spite, or on a completely unrelated issue and then leave, like so many places on the ‘Net.  I am not Christian, but I’d certainly never go to a place of worship and desecrate it in any way.  This place has become my old stone church, a place hidden away by old oaks and ivy.

As per my friend, no he’s not a dips~~~ or insecure or such.  He is super f~~~ing ugly, has very weak arms and is a ginormous f~~, but that’s completely unrelated.  I know you’re reading this, Kirk.  hahahahahaahaha.  I’ll leave his story to him;  you guys will most likely like him very much.

I can’t thank you guys enough for the reassurance.  I am very much my own man, I just never want to leave any sort of a footprint in this place that one would prefer filled with water and washed away.

Long live MGTOW.  All of them.

Great to see you back to normal EMP. We’re here to support each other. We’re all different as day and night yet respect each other as comrades in arms. I, for example, am a very strong Christian. I do not attend church, because group think is anathema to me. If MGTOW were a group think Internet cult, I would not be here.

Outsiders make the common mistake the we MGTOWs are just sounding boards resonating off each other. In fact, quite the opposite. MGTOWs are born of fire. Seething flames have annealed us all into something completely different. We are better versions of ourselves due to becoming MGTOWs.

I apologize for this. There really is nothing worse than someone constantly yammering off and over-talking about everything. I can assure you, I’m really not that type of individual in person.

..you can check my older posts and they are even worse. So better don’t and relax 🙂

And Im reading your posts at full, same as BK,D,KM,rT,Sr,Ft,ILA,CP,Fx etc. etc. etc. If it’s true and I have time, I don’t mind enjoying a good, long post.

Thanks man.  Good of you to post; I appreciate it and I’ve read many of yours.  I’ve always liked a long read myself.  I guess it can be a matter of preference.  I had just feared, after reading some of my own previous posts that maybe I’d gone too far in a few cases.

In a way, for a bit while reading my own stuff, I reminded me of a guy I used to work with.  He could take the simplest question and it would take him fifteen minutes to answer it.  Really, really annoyingly, and in a very condescending manner.

I guess after I spoke with my pal on the phone that I’d maybe have unwittingly done the same thing and didn’t want to be “that guy“.

Again, this is the first place where I’ve ever really “not been quiet”, barring my how I display my professional attitude.  My “work self”, due to the nature of many of the occupations which I’ve had, has often demanded that I constantly speak up and such so it’s not like I had a choice.

I appreciate it FME. 🙂

@EscapedMentalPatient our dear friend – and legendary forums member who changed his username. You’re one of my all-time favorite people here, so please shut the f~~~ up. When I hear a man apologizing, it hurts me in my b~~~~. I don’t need to say it in 5 paragraphs either when I can say it in 4 sentences, and I frequently marvel at guys like CAP, Sidecar and Zuberi Tau who can say the same s~~~ with a well-chosen GIF….. But it’s for the lurkers too. It’s for people who never even THOUGHT about it another way. Take for example “the accusation of misogyny”. Some idiot says “YOU HATE WOMEN!!!” and thinks they have proven something. Now while you can just flip them the bird because everyone knows it holds no validity, it requires a paragraph or three to show the 871657265146514326543 ways in which that statement is a f~~~ing joke. It would be like typing to someone across the net that they hate brussel sprouts. Stupid. So you absolutely humiliate them with some clever articulations and thoughts they hadn’t previously considered, so they will be forced to wrap their pee brains around a simple concept, and finally they are forced to shut the f~~~ up, and hopefully they will learn to not try that s~~~ again. When someone says “There is a mouse on Mars“….. replying with “lol no there isn’t” isn’t enough for these retards. They were unable (and unwilling) to PROVE there is a Mouse on Mars in the first place. “It isn’t enough to just politely tap someone on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them over the head with a goddam sledgehammer….. and then you’ll notice, you have their strict attention”. – Kevin Spacey Apology not accepted. Happily.

Ah yes, good sir knight.  This is precisely the sort of reason why I joined here.  You are the only man I’ve ever met who was able to give me a good swift kick in the ass before I met him hahahahaha.

One of the best parts of being here my dear friend, is the pinpoint accuracy at which you are able to identify, explain, remedy and conclude issues.

You are of an ilk which stands alone; in a category by yourself, and the number of people who you’ve already exponentially helped could never be quantified by the counter on the main page of a website.

I have more respect for your thought process and your ability to so concisely identify core principles than anyone I’ve met during my life, both privately and professionally.

You are, indeed, the “Keymaster”.

Same here too. I am constantly working with people solving problems for them. The one thing I’ve learned over the years is to make sure I consider the other person especially if they are introverted so as not to overwhelm them. A number of my friends are introverts as is my brother. Once you break through the shell they will talk as much as we do they are just not as socially promiscuous and more guarded. I found they will relate deeply to a selected few while extroverts seek out different people on a regular basis.

I feed off of people rather than grow tired of them and can get quite enthusiastic and entertaining to boot.

Yes!  Some of the most fascinating people are very introverted.  It can unfortunately be easy to shove them into their shell by overwhelming them, as you say.  Very well put.  I find once I get home from work (this isn’t the case these days.  Been working from home and am even more isolated), that I often take my hat and shoes off, and then really appreciate the quiet though.  I like my cave as a refuge, and that often includes being away from noise.  While I can be very extroverted while performing work functions, I really do prize “quiet time”.

Tell your friend tough s~~~ and procede as you were.

But your post did inspire me to write something short this time.

This is the best I could do.

@brainpilot.

I am still wiping tears from my eyes re:  Retarded Kid With A Fire Hose hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.  Oh, the mental imagery.

Thank you sir, and oddly enough I was just enjoying one of your posts over on the Women Contributing to Men’s Success thread:

BP on Women Contributing To Men’s Success

That’s a great read, BrainPilot.

All my life I seem to be playing catch up.
I am amazed that after all that time of your friend reading here, that was all he had to say???
I had to read that a few times, and it sounds to alien for me to absorb.

Not so long ago, I walked through the majestic doors of this awe inspiring palace of great men!
After reading just a few threads, it dawned on me…

My ship had finally come home.
I enjoy reading long posts and I used to think I had gone overboard with some of mine.

I realize I am not only late to the party on this thread, but probably missed it in it’s entirety, but still wanted to leave a note on the door expressing my appreciation for all the posts I read here, and on this amazing site.

It’s just f~~~ing Stellar!!!

If your way is to talk alot, then talk alot. NEVER be sorry for your way. You need to master who you are and work with it, and not care what strangers think, or even those in a forum. The only scoreboard that matters is yours, not what others have. If you feel it may be a bit off, then get out Microsoft Word, outline and think what you will say, and do an essay, proofread it, and then post it. In short, slow down and maybe be more meaningful. It isn’t the quantity of text that matters, but the quality. And own whatever works for you. One thing that irritates me about “oh a real man doesn’t X” is that it prevents a man from doing what he is suited for. When you do something, it is no longer something that a woman does, it is something that you do. Only exception would be maybe if you had a period, and had bleeding. Then I would question this. There is also giving birth to a child. I think if you gave birth to a child on this forum, that could cause problems.
