Female Coworker asked me if I was MGTOW today

[Professor ChaosParticipant 489]

So I’m minding my business and a co-worker walks up to me and asks why I don’t have a girlfriend.

I’m busy as usual so I reply with a simple and uncontroversial, “I’m set in my ways and don’t want drama” that I thought would end the conversation.

Then she follows up to ask, “You’re not MGTOW, are you?”

I was surprised and acted like I didn’t know what she was talking about and changed the subject to something about work.

We’re bigger than most of us think.

Pretty crazy, eh?

Next time say “what’s MGTOW??”

Let her say

Then next day say “thank you soooo much for telling me bout MGTOW!!! I’m in!!”

The Hive is buzzing. The fact they asked you means that they have already made up their mind: you are a now a target.

RUN!

Title IX says that I do not have to answer and you cannot ask.

Do I really look Chinese to you?

How does she know that you don’t have one? She (and others including men) do not need to know that! Don’t share and talk out all your private life mindlessly, that will just create more attack points on you. Stealth at workplace.

A good answer is “I don’t talk private life at a workplace, it is unprofessional.” or something like that.

You’re not one of those runners off the plantation like Toby, are you?

Mgtow? What is that? No. I’m of dutch heritage.

If a cut is asking , we are huge.

Can only hope they don’t start hobbling us.

I’d buy her a card and some candy. That’ll fix her, permanently, for under $5. Feigning beta is a man’s best defense at times.

I hear you Greg but I talk about my life with co-workers I like and I’ve been at my company for a long time.

If we ask them out, they file sex harassment charges with HR

If we don’t ask them out they harass us for being single

WTF DO THEY WANT FROM US??????

I’m surprised she didn’t flip when you said you didn’t want any drama in your life.

I don't hate women. I just feel better when they're not around.

Then play “Mickey the Dope”: Admit nothing, deny everything.

– “You’re not MGTOW, are you?”
– “What’s mig-tau?”
– (Attempts to explain)
– Sounds like a bunch of losers to me.”

Admit nothing, deny everything

You owe no one an explanation.

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

MGTOW? whats that a poor Chinese copycat of the Russian jet fighter? Should it be MIG 2…

This is MIG thre3e

: “Are you a MGTOW?”
: “What does welding have to do with having a girlfriend? But since you asked, I know GMAW, a.k.a. mig, and GTAW, a.k.a tig, but I’ve never heard of MIGTAW. I use an AC/DC TIG because I work with a lot of aluminum and stainless.”
: “???”

[Secret Agent MGTOWParticipant 22537]

The reply was too mgtow. Nowadays.

Another way to go is “Haven’t found someone attractive enough and rich enough, to take care of me yet. You know how it is.”

Realistically one is safer saying This is work and that’s not a topic I discuss while I am at work.” Or “that’s a more personal topic and I don’t talk about that kind of thing at work.” Or “I am not comfortable talking about my personal life with you or anyone at work.”

Lets them know,you are warning them they are treading in a bad area and they are making you feel uncomfortable. That is HR actionable if they keep harassing you.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

I usually hold the outside door open for women. That usually sets them at ease and makes them think I view them as special.

The truth is, I hold the door for everyone because I do not want to turn my back on anyone.

He could walk in tomorrow and see her and say “I had to look up what that thing was you said yesterday.. MGTOW right? Thanks for turning me onto that.” Say it totally sarcastically. Watch her reaction.

Funny, but I wouldn’t mess with it guys. He handled it pretty well. No need to stir the pot where you work.
