I’m 39, from Scotland and first came across MGTOW through Diana Davidson (Feminism LOL) on Youtube a few months ago. From there I discovered other Channels: Sandman, Mayor of MGTOWN, Stardusk etc. I cannot express just how delighted I am to have found a community which shares the same outlook which I’ve held from the past 10 years or so.

I won’t go into any specifics regarding my personal relationships with women, but suffice to say it’s fairly generic in terms of what has brought us all here.

It’s just such a relief to find more guys who feel the same. Since giving up on women and going my own way I’ve undergone just about every type of shame inducing attempts from friends, family and work colleagues alike; speculations about my sexuallity, accusations of misogyny, being regarded as ‘cold’, anti-social, ad nauseam…

The workplace can be the most challenging in this respect. I don’t engage with the women I work with on a personal level. My exchanges with them are solely work related and professional. The reaction to this is both hilarious and bewildering; it’s as if I’m breaking some unspoken law by not flirting and fawning over them just like every other male does. It gets to the point where if I walk past a group of them at the they will burst into a feigned laughter or increase the intonation in their voices in some sort of attempt to shame me. And of course I get the obligatory hair flicking and upturned nose. It’s really like you’re just not allowed to dismiss women sexually from your own life.

Naturally there’s the white knighting too, which usually comes in the form of speculations about my being gay or a misogynist – or both.

Since actively making the decision to abandon the company of women I’ve always been careful not to do it disrespectfully. But, in most cases, they can’t help but take offence anyway – so f~~~ them 😀

Anyway… As I said, I’m ABSOLUTELY STOKED to have found a community that shares my outlook. It really means so much after all this time of being made to feel like some kind of freak.

It’s like finding an underground resistance in a world taken over by an insane gynocentric cult.

Cheers guys!

Survivor – Yeah, you’re right. But I’m quite the introvert, so it’s an effort to maintain that kind of superficial banter to an effective degree. But I should try harder.

Nah, I haven’t really talked aboot it (haha). There’s one guy I work with who’s more of a PUA type, he’s cool enough, and I’ve confided in him to a certain extent and he seems to get it. But I wouldn’t mention it to anyone else.

As you pointed out though my behaviour freaks them out. And I’m quite stubborn in that I don’t like compromising my integrity – so therein lies the problem I suppose.

I think Scotsmen are predisposed to becoming MGTOW. Now with UK rape laws, and the likes of Heir/Frau Emma Wotson, all Englishmen are predisposed to becoming MGTOW.

Welcome to MGTOW. The only real requirement is a swinging dick, and the will to be Tarzan!

Yes, it’s all gone to s~~~ here and will undoubtedly get worse. Am just glad have found MGTOW,  with these few responses I’m feeling so empowered already!

Again – thanks.

I am of Scottish descent myself, with lots of all-American mutt thrown in.

You will fit right in here

Welcome GP, your intro resonated with me and was exactly how I felt when I stumbled across this website. “Wait.. I’m not a freak?!”.

Alas my discovery was a couple of years late and I got married and a son to her. Son is awesome, wife is damaged goods.

I’m based in the north of England and often working up in the borders if you ever fancied a pint.
