Avoiding TV and movies

[AwakenedMGHOWParticipant 100]

Do any of you MGTOW avoid TV and movies all together? If so, what do you guys do for entertainment?

I still watch older movies and anime every now and then, but that’s getting old as f~~~ to me.

I created this thread because I wanted to know of other forms of entertainment that I can use to keep myself from getting bored when I’m not working and in my free time.

Yes I got rid of my tv’s and turned off the radio 3years ago. What do I do with my time?
Bought a motorcycle and rode all over Western Canada.
Planning a trip down US Route 66 and then up the Pacific Coast Road (hwy 5) in July 2017 with an old friend from high school We will both be 65 y.O.
Took a course in motorcycle repair in the off season.
Started building a trike as part of the course.
Learned to make wine, beer,and spirits (legal within limits in my Province)
How did I pay for all this s~~~? With the money I didn’t spend on pussy. Where did I find the time? Same as above.

i’ve noticed that 99.5% of all movies have at least one white knight or mangina character in it.

nevertheless, i still watch movies sometimes.

i also spend time on sports, music, and the outdoors.

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

I am starting to spend time working on ‘self’ – eating a bit better – cooking more, may start a workout plan soon, and am tracking spending better.

but for entertainment. — well I have a Steam account so..

If you’re not a gamer – find a hobby outdoors(previously I was a trail runner, looking to get back into that) or a topic you are passionate about and look to reading the greats who’ve achieved in that particular field.

I’m on a youtube, netflix, porn diet. I don’t watch any garbage on tv these days. Not even the news because it’s oversaturated with feminist and celebrity views instead of actual relevant info that could affect our futures.

TV will literally make you stupid if your exposed to it on a regular basis. It turns you into a pawn when you could become a king. I might see a movie in theatres once a month but thats it.

Read books, learn new skills, set goals and reach them. You need to be in a state of constant improvement if you want to be truly free from society’s constructs and once you stop fighting to improve you lose.

Read, Read, Read. I’ve always loved reading books. I watch TV less and less nowadays. The BBC in the UK which many years ago was a decent institution is now in a sorrowful state. And the BBC news…has to be the most far left, liberal, politically correct, pro feminist bulls~~~ show of them all. Most things on TV now have some underlying spin and propaganda going on. Its all a bit or a tragedy really. But at least I get to read more books, up to a 100 a year. I also occasionally play PC based games, Football Manager, Civilization. The best bit about it is I simply can do what I want when I want.

Women are so bad, if they changed the law so I kept the house, I still wouldn't marry one. I'd rather be homeless.

Hardly watch TV anymore. Too many times I’ve walked on shows that are blatantly misandrist, or have stupid fake female characters that couldn’t exist in real life.

I paid $300 to cancel my DirecTV contract over a year ago. No regrets. I never watched it. Really I just wanted the NFL ticket. I just download the game the next day if at all. Mostly I watch a movie here or there from NEtflix. Lots of interesting Youtube stuff… like work out videos or MGTOW stuff. I get plenty of entertainment. I save about $125 a month. Add that to the saving of no kids and no wife… cha-CHING $$$$$$ !!!!!

I avoid TV like the plague. I do still watch movies ; I enjoy critiquing them, analyzing the themes, finding positive and negative things, etc. Since film analysis has been an amateur hobby for sometime now, I can usually see if there is an agenda being pushed, so I always tread carefully and with low expectations, particularly with newer material.
I’ll also watch the occasional series/anime, but a lot of them seem repetitive and derivative. There are of course exceptions (expl. my avatar, from the anime/film Akira).

I cannot agree more with this post, however.

Reading will always have a special place for me. If you can get into it, it sparks the imagination and provokes thought like no other medium.

I’m the absolute opposite; I can’t live without a TV set going. I like to watch current events, political news, Pawn Stars on History, American Restoration on History, and now Bates Motel has just started its 4th season on A&E last Monday. I have a flash drive with all my DVDs and Blu-Rays on them in MP4 format going. So for me I’m not much a book reader, but I will read Resident Evil novels and how-to books; and I can’t live without a TV set.

I used to be highly into video games from childhood until my mid 20s, but I greatly slowed down. I’ve not been a fan of where Resident Evil has been going for last several years. For me, the last acceptable Resident Evil game was Resident Evil 5 in 2009.

I have had no TV (TV signal that is) connected to my TV that I use as a monitor for my PC since … 2003? I cant recall, its been too long.
I do watch movies and series thou, but very few.

Things I do for entertainment in order of how often I do them:

1. Gaming
2. Reading (mostly online about economics, math, astrophysics, human behavior; but I drift often).
3. Listening to music (Got a good system, I can spend hours at a time).
4. Cooking, especially experimental cooking.

Thats what I do the most, because its what I like the most. I mix it up a little from time to time to try some new things, but so far, have not found anything that sticks.

Garry’s Mod best game ever
Space Engineers good when it runs
Nekopara play it
Counter Strike It’s good
Data A Live It’s awesome
Writing Software It’s really f~~~ing fun and it challenges you.
Electronics it’s a cheap and enjoyable hobby

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

TV? I don’t understand why somebody would pay to watch advertisements for stuff they don’t need. If I need something I go get it I don’t wait for somebody to show me a pretty picture of it first and then decide I somehow need it. But obviously I’m not the intended audience of “commercials” anyway. Commercials are for those who spend other people’s money on useless s~~~. And then there’s the whole brainwashing part of the “actual” programming.

Movies? Like TV brainwashing but without the ads for useless s~~~ part. No thanks.

Got rid of my TV about 5 or 6 years ago and have never regretted it. My laptop serves as my entertainment now and will be cutting back on that too. Will be getting back to reading more books again.
