Attending sporting events alone

[WOTGMSpectator 749]

I was thinking of going to a hockey game alone for the first time. Before going MGTOW I would have never considered such a thing, but after going MGTOW I realized how nice it was just to go out and eat alone, to get coffee alone etc. there was no pressure of trying to “impress” anyone and it was so peaceful and relaxing.

So now I figured “Why not go to a game alone?” and the plus side is I could get really good seats, since I’m only spending money for 1 ticket as opposed to 2. Has anyone here ever gone to a sporting event alone?

I don’t mind going to a game or a movie alone, but not a show or a concert.

At least you won’t have anybody asking you “Hey, what are they doing?”

[OrangeMan12Participant 71]

I commend you for even considering such a thing. I think it’ll be a great way to allow some introspective time and experience something new- having fun doesn’t always have to be with someone. Just last week I went to a Mets game and thought about bringing someone along, but ended up going alone and had a great time- mingled with the crowd, got an awesome seats and proudly crossed it off on my bucket list. I hope you find this helpful and hope you have a great time.

I go to sporting events, concerts, movies alone all the time.

I don’t need any one else to have a good time and enjoy myself.

It’s a zen movement – just the event and myself.

Plus, when ever I go alone I can truly enjoy the event itself, and not be bothered with listening to someone elses opinions, editorials or pointless banter.

Being with another person tends to make most events less enjoyable IMO.

Try it once and see if you’ll like it.

I have found that going to events alone, especially ticketed events, allows me to consistently get better seats than I get while going with a group.

Plus there always seems to be a group dynamic occurring that screws things up.

Great plan and enjoy the match.

Last year I ran 28 marathons in 5 states, all travelling alone except for one. Great to travel interstate without drama. Also, stayed in hostels and got to have convos with men down on their luck.

Years ago, I was anxious about going to movies or restaurants or museums alone. I thought about what everyone else in the restaurant might think of me. But I got frustrated with trying to take women and having them ruin the experience with their childish, obnoxious behavior. I wait inviting them, but kept going to those places anyway. I’ve eaten alone many times in some of the most expensive restaurants in town. The first time or two, I was aware of it and not 100% comfortable with it. But, f~~~ it… I was hungry so I did it anyway.

I learned a few things: I can walk in w no reservation, sit at the bar immediately and get dinner served from same kitchen by bartender in a fraction of the time. Tables have a wait. Anyone can grab any available bar stool anytime. No reservation. No wait for table. No wait for date to decide her order. No wait for date to finish eating.

I decide where I want to eat with no discussion. 10 seconds later, I’m in car on my way. I’m not stopping to pick anyone up, or waiting for them to meet me. I’m not waiting for her to finish make up, hair and all that other crap while my stomach growls and reservation time passes.

When I’m done, the check is about half what it would have been, and I’m on my way to whatever else I planned, or didn’t plan, for myself. I’ll arrive on my own schedule, see the museum exhibit at my own pace, and leave anytime I choose. I won’t be made late for a movie or concert, and I can use the money saved on the diner check to upgrade seats.

After living this way for a very short time, I realized that the benefits a woman might have brought are not worth the headaches they always brought. I also learned that the approval of the other people in the place wasn’t worth much either. It occurs to me now that anyone else there who could only have been there with another person has a weakness. They are functionally handicapped if they can’t perform the mechanics of living their own life without the permission and approval of one or more other people.

I don’t have that weakness. But if I did, it would be my own approval I would be missing.

Also Brainpilot, you can always troll people by complaining about being stood up… e.g. have imaginary GF cell phone arguments which will spread the MGTOWspel

WOTGM…

Nothing wrong with this at all. Buy a season ticket. If for some games your mate(s) come, sit somewhere else together. I’m sure there are non-reserved seats?

Last season I did exactly that. Went to around 40% of games on my own. Why? Because all of my mates are stuck in relationships/have kids. Sometime they can come along, sometimes not.

Years ago I tried taking a date to a game. At halftime she went to the toilet, after 10 mins I get a txt from her saying she left. That was the last time I ever took a girl to a sporting event, and will remain the last time.

I go to dinner, gigs, events by myself all the time. I dont want to wait for someone else to be available and miss out on enjoying my life. Most of my friends are married with kids, so they are too busy doing everything for them or needing permission from the wife.
F~~~ living like that. You dont need anyone else to have fun. Sure its great to have a fun time with friends but its still good to do things for yourself. 🙂

All the time. Sports, theater, dining, you name it. It’s never held any terrors for me.

I pity the poor simp who hesitates before doing anything he wants to do or going anyplace he wants to go on the basis of whether he’s alone or not. Might as well mail your b~~~~ back to the hospital if you’re that craven.

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

I go to almost everything alone. I love it. sporting events restaurants when I do go out to eat.

I go on vacations alone which I noticed is the biggest difference. I sat at a table and a lady kept complaining how I could travel alone to her husbank next to her. She would not shut up. I sat their smiling eating my meal enjoying my drink. I look up and see see the look on the husbank’s face. He wouldv’e switched places with me in a second.

I just went on my first weekend trip on my own about a month ago. I thought it might be weird, but it was great. Ate where I wanted when I wanted, did what I wanted to do once I got there and checked everything out.

I heard a NASCAR driver once on the radio doing an interview. The guy was single. He referred to the other guys’ wives and girlfriends as their “restrictor plates”. Always slowing you down. That seems a pretty appropriate analogy.

Go do it. You’ll have a great time and nobody around you will remember you for more than 2 seconds.

I’ve always been an introvert and loner. Especially at work, I need my breaks alone to unwind.

[Can’t Stump TrumpParticipant]

Having been stood up multiple times (as has likely been the case with other men here), I figured out how to have a good time on my own long ago. I learned to schedule dates only for things I loved to do regardless. When she didn’t show, I never felt like I wasted my time. Nowadays I just skip the middle step and go on my own from the start.

Women are better at multitasking? Fucking up several things at once is not multitasking.

When I still bothered dating I would schedule first meets during my lunch breaks and always within a 3 block radius of where I worked. So if they failed to turn up I wasn’t affected.

I got sick of being used for free dinners, coffee’s etc

[SamsquanchParticipant 4226]

Yes, I’ve been to a Blue Jacket’s game alone. Got a seat 3 rows from the ice for about $20 bucks since it was a single ticket.

You won’t be disappointed.

Edit:

Back in August I went to a beach in NC. I arrived at the house a little early and the overweight cleaning lady was there. She couldn’t believe that I was spending a week by myself. She mentioned it two or three times….”I just can’t believe it”

I shrugged, took a shot of vodka, opened a beer then walked to the beach.

That’s a lot of pavement to cover, congrats man.

When I was first going through my divorce I was hesitant about going out alone. After years of being with someone and suddenly very alone it was hard. I remember reaching out to a blue pill coworker whom I thought was a friend. Told him I was having trouble being alone and would need to lean on friends. He actually came back and said something about learning to be comfortable with myself. I took that to heart though I think it was self-serving as I found out later he was uncomfortable being around me because of my divorce and his own marriage wascon shaky ground.

Regardless the advice was actually good advice. Funnily enough I got the similar advice from a female coworker I asked out. She told me “I should learn to be happy being alone.” She also reported me to HR and I lost my job st a place where I had gotten her the job but that’s a story for another day.

The point is I do a lot of things alone. I have learned to be ok with it and find enjoyment. From simple movies to taking trips to other countries. You can do it.
