Imagine my pleasant surprise when I joined the wonderful MGTOW community and found that my fellow MGTOW also eschew Facebook and social networking.

In various threads, my fellow brilliant MGTOW posters have expressed, in passing mostly, why Facebook and Social Networking is anathema.  But I would like to discuss it in more detail, so I created this thread.

I’d like to know why the MGTOW philosophy eschews Facebook and other social networking.  Feel free to be repetitive if you’ve mentioned it in other threads.  Having this discussion here in one thread helps me get my own thoughts in order.

That’s not the point of modern “social networking”, it’s main purpose is to x-ray existing relationship graphs and abuse them for advertisement. Thus the correct term is “advertisement network sites”: You go to the sites to receive targeted advertisements, let other people you trust tell you, what you have to buy. That’s everything about it.

The thing that kept me away from the facebooks  initially was my aversion against using real-life data online. Nowadays I see, this was a wise decision, as we can see the typical SJW witch hunts across the net. I see not being is a part of this hive as a viable ghosting strategy.

There’s a base opinion on the internet (and in society in general called mores). Opinions can deviate only a few degrees from base and then opinions are not welcome.  MGTOW is more than a few degrees off.  MGTOW is progressive, rational, Male-led, Male-centered, and Male-dominated.   A Man’s point of view, His language and His sexuality are NOT acceptable in this current social climate.   Social media is not anathema to MGTOW…MGTOW is a scourge to social media and the status quo.  But, it’s also a great place to find some sad, blue-pill-f~~~er and give them a shiny red pill.

BTW, if you’re on FB, do you really think that anyone gives a s~~~ what you bought or where you went on vacation or what time you took a p~~~?  The whole thing is 1984-Orwellian.

Great topic.

Like marriage, Facebook is for women and gays. This comes from reading beauty and fashion magazines where they have fantasies of being famous celebrities for sweet f~~~ all. Just because Kim Kardashian makes the front page every time she takes a s~~~, grown women update their status with the same hope. They behave just like a f~~~ing 14 year old Facebook chick and think when a boy/man clicks on her profile , she convinced herself she has a “stalker”. Posts a picture of herself in a bikini and then thinks you’re a “perv” because you “liked” it.

F~~~ that. Get the f~~~ off Facebook as quickly as possible and starve them of the attention they require to function.
Attention is a woman’s lifeblood. By not being on Facebook, you turn off the tap to the constant flow of attention she needs.

If you need 100 other reasons, the first is… it obliterates “mystique”. You have none. Nobody will WONDER about you. This is a very powerful move for you in your social circle, because women will imagine all kinds of horses~~~ about you by NOT being there. What’s he doing? Who’s he f~~~ing? Where does he live? What’s he up to? Why doesn’t he count likes? Why doesn’t he care about attention and approval I LIVE for? OMG is he OK? Is he alive?

Gosh, I could go on….

After I deleted EVERYTHING from Facebook 3.5 years ago, I felt so f~~~ing awesome. Even in a job interview when they say “are you online? Do you have Facebook?” it is so satisfying to smile and say: “I have no time for that childish time-wasting nonsense”. Then watch the expression on her face.

A handful of women reached out to me and asked “why are you not on facebook?”. Nothing else. No hi how are you? No what are you up to? Not I miss you or anything like that. Just “why are you not on facebook?”. What the f~~~ kind of question is “why are you NOT?”. Just the wording is f~~~ed up.

… to which I extended the same courtesy and replied: “Facebook is for women and gays”.

BOOM. Roasted.

Other excellent replies and reasons:

• “I’m wanted in 13 states for crimes against humanity”.
• “Gay”.
• “What a weird question.”
• “I am. But I’m in the VIP lounge. Zuckerberg invite only. Not open to the public.”

And my personal favorite:

“Remember when little girls had diaries, and they would freak out when a boy just touched the cover? We’ve come a long way”.

That should do it.

PS. I wish to stress the use of the word “gay” as VERY important. Anyone who perceives this statement as a negative, doesn’t like gays. Saying Facebook is for gays is like saying cat food is for cats. That’s not an anti-cat (or catsogynistic) statement at all. So if you get ANY negative vibe back make sure you correct it and point out there is nothing negative about saying “Facebook is for women and gays”. If she perceives it as a negative, that’s in her own head. You can laugh about it. Because you know something she doesn’t.

To think Facebook was once considered the “classy” alternative to Myspace…

Initially Facebook was Zuckerberg’s trick to access pussy on campus. Now it’s a crowd control instrument.

Been on the internet since BBSs in the early 90’s, grew up with my dad building computers starting about 1990 or so.
