Good evening Gentlemen

[CELParticipant 29]

Gentlemen,

It’s a pleasure to be joining this community and to be in your company.

I’m a 36 year old engineer from Australia and I’ve been a MGTOW for as long as I can remember. I’m glad I’ve found this forum to connect with like minded men who are living, or have a desire to live, life on their own terms and not be held accountable or be judged against the expectations of others.

I take life and the world as it comes with an open mind and insatiable curiosity. The struggles have been many, but equally, the rewards of investing in myself have been rich. I have travelled the globe, seen and done extraordinary things and lived many of my dreams.

While doing so I’ve always tried to do it my way. Of course, there are constraints so far as working and earning a living is concerned. But even then – I’ve never stayed in a job that has compromised my values or sense of self. I don’t suffer fools gladly. If I invite you into my life it’s because I truly value you. I’d rather have a handful of close mates than a fruit salad of acquaintances. I don’t tolerate bulls~~~ or political correctness. I believe that the route to enlightenment is through being secure in yourself, knowing what your values are and living by them, constantly pursuing honesty and truth as the highest of ideals, treating others as you expect to be treated yourself, being empowered to say ‘no’ and going to bed at night with an open mind and a clear conscious.

Needless to say I don’t get it right all the time. But it doesn’t stop me trying.

I should put my cards on the table and say that I’m gay. I’d like to think that won’t be an issue here. I’ve never subscribed in any way to what is commonly referred to as ‘gay culture’. I do my best to not wear my sexuality on my sleeve or turn it into a bargaining chip. I’m just me and I don’t let this aspect of my character define me or my life. I’m an everyday guy who happens to be attracted to men.

I only mention it because rejection of the traditional idealogy of heterosexual relationships or marriage – and everything that goes with it – seems to be a common thread among MGTOW. For me, being gay means that women are totally superfluous so far as intimate relationships are concerned, thus I have no direct personal experience to offer there. And I certainly don’t subscribe to the idea of ‘marriage’.

However, my closest friends and the vast majority of my work colleagues over the years are all straight men who have had their share of trials and tribulations with women. And I’ve been with them through thick and thin and done my best to support them along the way.

I’ve seen the inherent bias against men in the Courts and the effect this has. I’ve seen men who are in emotionally abusive relationships be shunned and ignored when they’ve needed help. I’ve seen the pain that men feel when they are denied relationships with their children through no fault of their own. I’ve seen men be taken advantage of and loose their life savings or investment for retirement. I’ve seen men struggle to find their place in the world and be inhibited from reaching their full potential.

As men, I think we’ve got to talk about this. And now more than ever, we need to support one another.

In Australia the traditional sterotypes and expectations of what it means to ‘be a man’ in society are failing our fathers, sons and brothers. Suicide in men – at a rate of three times that of women – is the leading cause of death for men aged 15-44 (source: Lifeline Australia). There is very little awareness of this. Why? Because it’s being drowned out by noise coming from feminists, the political left, the media and the politically correct army who want to demonise men and shut down discussion at every turn.

This is why I’ve joined MGTOW. To try and do my part to help guys who might feel, in light of everything working against them, that they have no where else to go.

In closing I’d like to say that what really inspires me are the men who overcome the odds, succeed in life and build something from nothing. I salute you. Because overcoming the odds, however highly they are stacked against you, is a no mean feat in the 21st Century.

By no means am I perfect. I often get it wrong and I’m writing my own story as it evolves too.

If I can provide some ideas or insight, be your sounding board or simply give some encouragement to guys out there – whoever you are, whatever your circumstances – I’ll be happy to try and do so.

Here’s to being MGTOW and proud of it.

welcome

how did you find out about mgtow? the reason I ask is because I know they are banning the red pill movie there. mgtow shows high numbers on google trends in Australia, but doesn’t seem to correspond to high numbers here. I’ve sometimes wondered where they all go, maybe reddit, I dunno as I dont go there

[CELParticipant 29]

Hi mate, cheers.

My best mate told me about MGTOW. We watched some of the videos on YouTube and talked about it. Hence – here I am.

I watched The Red Pill today on iTunes and it’s available elsewhere online. The film hasn’t been ‘banned’ as such in Australia – but showings have certainly been disrupted by feminist groups and screenings were cancelled in a couple of cinema chains. Also two of our leftist TV shows gave Cassie Jaye (the Director) a hard time. They have since been exposed for it and made to look like the idiots that they are.

Exactly. Too many people these days believe in their own lies and keep changing their “values”.

It doesn’t matter. You are till part of this brotherhood.

A tranquil mind is neither happy nor sad, it is uninfluenced by external conditions.

Cheers mate. It’s hard to sum up Australia, suffice to say that in my opinion, it’s the best country in the world and has something to offer everyone. Whatever you’re into in life you’ll find a way to explore it here.

[CELParticipant 29]

Thanks for the replies gents. Much appreciated.

Welcome.

Whatever you have to input or say, then others can learn from it too.

It’s all the blocks of texts on these forums that’s helping, comforting and literally SAVING good guys out there.

From the abyss of abuse dished out by modern woman and her man destroying courts.

[Anonymous 42]

You’ll fit right in! We all like to hear about another man’s aspirations, challenges, adventures, the whole ball of wax! Younger men need to hear from men like you and I that became self focused in a world that rather you not!

My life is packed with positive episodes, chalanges, and doing the extraordinary!

THE REWARD FOR LEAVING THIS NARCISSISTIC EFFEMINATE GYNOCRENTRIC SOCIETY TO IT’S OWN ENDS!

I’ve flown with and without wings!

Lets hear your story!

[Anonymous 3]

Thank you for your post. Your philosophy is what I find to b a healthy & self-defining way to live. No one is perfect, but those of us who know are principles & ideals don’t lose them b/c of backsliding.
Here is my bottom line on my approach to living: kindness, generosity, compassion, equanimity. And I spend a good deal of time in meditation, in silence & in solitude. This is the first time I have ever written or told anyone my stance, but your openness & honesty inspired me to follow suit. I am basically an urban hermit & I have kept my own counsel for a long time.
The feminazies, moon bats, political correctness & the mass media brought me here along with a number of futile attempts at attaining the American dream with a woman.
The so-called modern woman of today is really not worth bothering with. Thank you again for your post & despite the fact that your from “down under” we meet in MGTOW.
How cool is that ( as the kids say today)

[Anonymous 18]

Very warm welcome dear friend.

It never is. Nor will it ever be.

How your world works and despite great efforts to keep men in deception, more and more men are realizing the truth.

Its in our DNA to decipher truth and to understand it and manipulate it for our benefits. What makes men, well men.

Regarding women men have broken their own rules and we have collectively paid the price.

Until now. For some men.

Welcome Cel. I visited Australia in 1976 and 1978 (Brisbane), and it was my second favorite port of call. The first was Singapore. When I read about the political s~~~ going on in Australia these days I’m glad I was there so long ago. We’re all looking forward to your input here.
