Are you a closeted MGTOW? What is your MGTOW Lifestyle?

[007 (Reborn)Participant 1672]

How is it hanging brothers?

I’ll get right to the point. I’m a closeted mgtow. I haven’t told anybody about my affiliation with this state of mind. Not even my purple pilled best friend. It seems like it would be very dangerous to do so. Especially in my environment. I work at a non-profit company where 80% of employees are women and approximately 15% are married men (mostly manginas). I go to a college that has been infected with, safe spaces, micro-aggressions, lumbersexuals, hipsters, and feminazis. I will face major scrutiny if I voice an opinion that doesn’t conform to the societal standard. I’ve resorted to becoming introverted and have eliminated most interpersonal relationships with toxic friends and acquaintances. The only ways that I express my mgtow beliefs are through my decisions and when I give advice to other men. Otherwise, I’ve gone completely rogue by living a minimalist lifestyle, dedicating my free time to only myself, saving 50% of all my income, and staying away from from relationships with women. This is the lifestyle of a true maverick.

How open are you about your connection with mgtow? Does it ever cause social conflicts? Also, how has mgtow affected your lifestyle?

I understand the problem with being able to espouse your ideology in the workplace; but honestly you have to realize that almost everybody except feminists are limited in that area. One thing i’ve learned is to keep my work life totally professional, no fraternization with the people I work with either below or above my station, and to espouse 100% safe views that still manage to work in a redpill undertone. Luckily I work in a place where most of the employees are pretty conservative so I don’t stick out too much when someone asks me about current events in q public setting.

However, to my friends i’m unashamedly MGTOW. I don’t say things i consider edgy and unproductive “All women are c~~~s, I hate them etc.” because while that’s part of the natural redpill rage, it doesn’t further the conversation I try to have with them. Essentially I try to espouse my ideology innocuously in every way I can without being over the top, or pushy. In the end this is always a solitary path though, so don’t expect many people to agree with you fully.

Literally only one or two of my friends know I’m MGTOW. But to be fair, a lot of my friends don’t even know what MGTOW is.Though most people who know me can gather that I shun dating and relationships.

[PhantomParticipant 3328]

hey 007, decided to drop in & am glad I did.

At the risk of sounding like I am cherry picking and/or nitpicking, my apologies, but closeted MGTOW is when I was trying to escape my last relationship.

I believe I get your meaning though, and seriously, yeah, I don’t “advertise” my lifestyle either. However, I don’t look at it as being closeted, but being stealthy.

Perhaps it just semantics, but to me anyway, closeted is a “dirty” word in my book, and always gives me that vibe of shame. Not trying to put words in your mouth, nor anyone else, just my own personal ramblings and take on it, in regards to myself.

As for the MGTOW lifestyle itself though, in my perspective, it is a neon sign over my head, whenever I go out in public. Why? For many reasons. I will try to explain what I mean.

When I am out in public, I am a “free” man. Well, as much as we can be in this day and age, anyway. I am not being shamed by a female, nor am I carrying her purse, pushing a stroller, buying her tampons, or spending my money on her.

I also am able to walk with my head up, knowing that I have been unplugged, and rarely even acknowledge females when I am out. Of course, this has had an unwanted side effect, and females will smile at me, say hi, and engage me.

It’s funny, I spent years trying to get that, and now that it no longer means anything ….sorry, trailed off. I digress.

^This and more of this.^ Basically, in a nutshell, my tactic as well.

I am tighter than a funeral drum about it, outside of this website. I do not engage myself on this level anywhere else online, nor out in day to day life, with anyone. Of course, I no longer have any friends in real life, so it makes it real easy for me to live this way.

Because of my decision to go my own way, I finally have a life. As for finding this site last year, I discovered I was not alone, and that I wasn’t just some f~~~ing loser with women, and had a really unlucky run when I was involved with them.

As for going into the myriad of all that I have gained and am gaining from MGTOW.com, it would take a lifetime, and I imagine for myself anyway, it would still not be enough time, to cover everything this site and the men here, on what all it means to me.

Suffice to say, I will do my best and utmost to give it a bloody good go, on trying to though, as time goes by.

In short, this is home, and my sanctuary.

[IGMOW (I Go My Own Way)Participant 2572]

I have a MGTOW YouTube channel. Beyond that, I just do my own life. I do whatever works for me, or try to. I will explain my single state and explain at my age, trying to get a wife and kids would be madness. I just do my life now. I am trying to get back on my feet, be responsible, and build up the finances. It is pretty much whatever everyone else does, except I spend my free time on game things.

i have told a couple of my friends about mgtow. It sparked small debates but nothing personal.

it has given me a peace of mind.

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

[Dunn GoofdParticipant 119]

I would only speak about this lifestyle to a really close male friend who is ready to take the red pill, or needs guidance to take it.

It would only bring problems to discuss MGTOW with women or blue pillers, just a waste of my time.

[Anonymous 11]

I’m closeted too. MGTOWs are born of fire. Those who have not gone thorough the process just can’t handle it.

I freely discuss my multiple UFO experiences with random strangers just to freak them out about them. I won’t ever discuss MGTOW.

I once tried explaining White Knighting to blue pillers and got mocked. F~~~ ’em. They’ll learn it the hard way.

[OldBillParticipant]

Interesting question, 007. When it comes to MGTOW I’m not closeted, but I’m not standing on street corners with a placard and bullhorn either.

I don’t harangue or proselytize, but I do drop facts and figures into conversations when appropriate. That last bit is important. I don’t steer conversations towards MGTOW or men’s rights topics. When such topics do come up, I’m not shy about stating opinions and providing facts. And I don’t belabor the point either. I say my piece and let the conversation flow along from there.

People are adverse to being preached at. We’ll spread the MGTOW message more by living as an example of MGTOW thinking than by any other method.

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

when i first found mgtow and the red pill truths , i wanted to tell my friends and i did ..most of them know i’m a freethinker and have always known me to say whatever i’m thinking ….so they really didn’t flinch when i told them about what i found .
they said stuff like ” well that’s cause you’re angry about women ” and ” that’s great if it works for you ”
i went “stealth ” with it after a few weeks because it started raising too many eyebrows..my co-workers are bat s~~~ crazy , so they quickly move on to some superficial bulls~~~,only 2 close friends know i am a mgtow and they think it’s been terrific for me.
mostly it’s been forgotten by anyone i told,fine by me .
people have VERY short memories and look for NOW NOW NOW …
i prefer blending in to the woodwork at this point..
you can lead a horse to water , but you can’t make them drink.
i like talking about theoretical physics instead ..it F~~~S with them ..nicely ..

[guiParticipant 825]

I do the things I want to do and don’t pay attention to women. When my friends or other people ask me about it I just say I have better thing to focus on now.
I really think today’s society works like a zombie apocalipse. I just try to not draw attention to me because you can’t reason with the zombies and they must break out of their trance by themselves.

[mgtow_85Participant 752]

I don’t discuss my MGTOW lifestyle at work when it’s definitely something that could get me fired once people assume I’m a “woman-hater”. Coworkers have me pegged as a guy who’s “down on his luck with past s~~~ty relationships and just waiting for the right girl to come along”. I don’t dare correct them on that. It’s pretty much the truth, except for the part where I’m “waiting for the right girl”. I’m celebrating my bachelor status, that’s the truth.
My boss, who is a woman, is also unmarried. She asked me if I was married once. I said “Nope, and I’m not really in a hurry to be either when I have other goals in mind.” She laughed and said, “Good for you! Marriage is overrated anyway” and that was that. So I have an ally to my excuse for being single, just as long as I don’t bring up any topic that says that WOMEN are the main reason behind the failure of modern marriage. Yeah, I say that, I might as well update my resume.
And people don’t give me s~~~ at work for being single either. They give me more s~~~ about the Chimichangas that I choose to bring in for my lunch more than anything else. “That’s all you ever eat for lunch?” and s~~~ like that. Basically, I find their inquiries annoying and it’s none of their damn business about what I choose to eat, but it’s better than getting the “you should get married” discussion, especially when paying for weddings and honeymoons is far more expensive than what we get paid. LOL.

[Grim-Participant 454]

I’m a closeted MGTOW as well. I have to be, because I’m still currently living with my parents to pay off my college debt. I’m paying around $200 dollars month while living here to save up money also.

What I tell people when they ask me about marriage/women:

(me) I just haven’t found the right woman yet, I want to date multiple women until I find the “right one” to marry. If it takes me till I’m 80, I’m fine with that.

(me) I may or may not end up marrying at some point, but I don’t want to make comprises. And, from the man’s point of view, “compromise” almost always means “doing what she wants to do.”

I’ve told my mom and others those exact same lines. They’re perfectly fine with that.

[Silverstone the SecondParticipant]

For the most part, people don’t know I’m mgtow. I only ever reveal it to guys that have already revealed that they know what’s going on, ie red pill. I mean, there’s so much opposition it’s almost funny. But think of it this way.

You know how people criticize videogames for micro payments and all that bulls~~~? They sit there and p~~~ and moan all day long about how it’s bulls~~~, and then they go out and buy it anyway. It doesn’t really matter what you say if your actions don’t back it up. They turn around and buy the game anyway. A big thing is “vote with your wallet” I’ve heard. Companies don’t care how many hours you rant online about it. They want you to buy the damn thing.

In the end, we don’t need to protest in the streets and burn bras. We just have to act, vote with your wallet so to speak. Don’t talk, just act. By not getting married, you spoke louder than any rant online.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

I won’t mention MGTOW at work, around my friends (most of them are married), or my family members. It’s sort of like Fight Club to me. I won’t discuss it because people will get offended and I may have to pay some sort of social/occupational price for it. I just keep my mouth shut, work, pay my bills, and go on lonely dates with myself. This forum & YouTube is the only place where I vent my dissatisfaction with my society. Some people will say I’m pathetic, I will die alone, and no one will ever love me. So what. At the end of my life, at least I can say, “I DID IT MY WAY.”

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

[VarunParticipant 2981]

I would say I am a closeted MGTOW. I am a closeted individual , to be precise. I’ve only told one or two of my closest friends about my MGTOW lifestyle (and I trust they won’t rant out on me). Unlike most of you here, I don’t live in constant danger of being shunned for my beliefs (’cause many people over here don’t even understand what feminism is; they believe in superstition more than they beieve in reality).

Even if people did find out on a large scale that “there is a MGTOW in our area”, I don’t think anybody would hardly care. A 20-year-old dude is still regarded as a child in India. It works towards my benifit, so why complain?

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

[LunaticReasonParticipant 78]

I keep that fact to myself, only one friend knows because he was the one who introduced me to the horrors of feminism although he himself isn’t Mgtow.

Its just not safe to be out, in this gynocentric world. I found that any criticism made of women or simply not agreeing them got you attacked so I stopped having opinions or any meaningful interactions with them especially whatever I said was disregarded as “mansplaining”.

I still interact with them on a daily basis because it’s part of my job, and i’m just a congenial person but I no longer have the thirst or desire to white knight for them. The only time I may flirt with them is just to see if I can test my charisma skills but those interactions are meaningless to me. Mere Pua head games.

The only thing I do for my MGTOW lifestyle is to do things that makes me happy and improves myself without a care about what anyone else thinks. I can act a slob, or dress fancy it doesn’t matter because its all for me not them. I can spend more money on myself because I’m not paying for dates. I always wanted to try growing a beard but was too afraid to because I was afraid it would turn off women. I made a resolution for this year that I would grow it and I am, I’ve got a nice goatee developing. It makes me look more manly and It’s been drawing girl’s attention but again I pay them absolutely no mind.

[SpacemonkeyParticipant 1481]

I lead an unconventional lifestyle anyway so I don’t have the presures to conform as most others do particularly in the area of work.

I have few friends and pretty much keep myself to myself. I have sufficient funds to do and go where I want when I want. I like to travel and I always travel alone.

I was told once that I project an aura of F~~~ OFF! People may be aware of my presence but avoid contact. I think most people consider me a wierdo and maybe even a bit dangerous so they leave me alone, which is fine by me.
