Categories of MGTOWs (Where do you see you? Input welcome)

I had slept on this and I think I may have two more for reactive.  I say reactive here, because a guy happens to be responding to what he sees, and is trying to adjust, rather than has something he is trying to get to.

* Pragmatic Realist: A guy’s life circumstances are such, based on what he knows, that going his own way is what makes the most sense.  On the relationship with woman side, the entire dating relationship/marriage just doesn’t fit where he is.  The guy realizes this and moves on.

* Non-conformist: This can be connected with the Pragmatic Realist, but will often be more connected with ideals.  A guy realizes his goals and aspirations in life, in a general sense, don’t fit any social norms, and really wouldn’t fit having a woman either, so he goes his own way.  When looking at the relating to women, the entire social norms and structure just don’t fit what works for a guy.  In a certain sense, this is akin to Objectivist, but more a reactive reality.  It can be as perhaps a cross between Pragmatic Realist and Objectivist.

Ok, I ended up creating a thread in another forum on here, to discuss the nature of these categories, and get input.  Please feel free to comment there, and use here, to discuss what you see yourself as.  Here is a link to the new thread:

I fit way too many of these categories lol, wounded, rejected, rejecter, warrior, scholar, and professional.

Oh same here, Dcue95, and the more categories richardhutnik comes up with, with all due respect for his work intense processes of thinking clearly, the even more complicated it might get to put me into numerous of such theoretical categories.

But fair enough, in case you guys might be interested, where I am coming from and where I am heading towards, (more or less for the fun sake of it) let me try to lay it out to you this way:

My original background I’d say is like   —> pragmatic realist, wounded, non conformist (since my youth part of which in a way is still there) & rejected (more often than not)

Ever since I signed up in here partly I already have moved and partly I am still in the process of moving (in short term) towards  —> proactive, scholar, rejecter, artist, professional, outcast philosopher & dudebro

In the long term scheme of things additionally to those I’d like to move towards the traveller type.

 

Ok, I guess that would sum it up precisely enough for me and my fairly high ambitions, phew..!

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body. Back to the plantation..? Me..? Hey, literally: I won't ever fucking kid myself...YZERLMNTSIC
