Greetings, Gentleman

[HermitParticipant 1121]

Recently joined the ranks of MGTOW and wanted to say hello. A little about my background, I’m 50 (probably makes me one one the older ones here) and have been divorced for four years.
In my youth, I was the classic blue pill white knight. I couldn’t understand why all these nice, pretty girls were dating all these terrible guys and I was convinced that once they got to know me and how I placed them on a pedestal, they would return my affection. Go ahead, roll your eyes, I deserve it.
Needless to say, I got burned, a lot. I became the “in between guy.” You know the “nice” guy a woman dates following her breakup for purposes of ego rebuilding, only to be dumped when she was ready for the next Chad.
You thought I would have learned, but no. At 39, I married for the first (and last) time. She was a single mother, my age, with a teenage daughter of 15. I know, what in the blue blazes of hell was I thinking?? Well, the wife was beautiful, and I was in love, and I just flat ignored all the blaring warning sirens going off all over the place. For example, my wife had so much emotional baggage and was so emotionally unstable that she started turning me into a basket case too not long after the honeymoon. The daughter, she had a whole mess of problems herself.
After seven strenuous years of marriage, she decided I wasn’t meeting her needs anymore, so she went out and found someone else. We divorced. The universe must have been protecting me because we never had children (I did the whole vasectomy thing), and she had this new guy in the bullpen ready to marry her, so no alimony either. I just left with my clothes and the dog. I was actually free. I didn’t just dodge a bullet, I dodged a missile.
Over time, I began to understand that my role in her life was that of placeholder. She had been a mother at a very early age and she missed out on the party girl life in her 20’s. Once the daughter turned 18 and her parental obligations were finished, she was ready to dump me and find herself a Chad in some sad attempt to regain her lost youth.Took her a little while, but she did it.
Of course, in the beginning I was angry and bitter. But the light, finally started to dawn. I had spent my entire life as a giant chump, spending countless hours and god only knows how much cash and energy on creatures that absolutely were not worth my time, or my money, or my life. That’s why I chose the handle “Miser,” because I’ve finally learned to be stingy about giving the best of me to women who only give me their worst. In the four years since the divorce, I found out about the red pill/blue pill line of thought and MGTOW. I happily discovered I wasn’t alone in my viewpoint. There were a lot of guys in my boat. I always suspected it, but I never thought it had become a movement.
I have been on one date since the divorce and all I could think about was the crap that any relationship would inevitably lead to, so I just backed off and never went out again. That’s when I realized I truly was done with all of it. Since that time, I’ve been quietly reorganizing my life, developing a more spartan existence, getting in shape for the first time, and enjoying the control I have regained over my own life. That gentlemen, is the greatest gift of all and I am never, ever, going to give it up again.
Happy to be here.

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

Welcome!
That was a great introduction. We have members of every age here and I’m sure you will feel right at home.

The answer is NO. “I could but I won’t”. Memini murum!

Welcome Miser

Glad to have another enlightened member of the brotherhood on board.

[Anonymous 18]

Gynocentrism is like HIV.

Destroys a man’s masculinity and tries to fill-in the void with servitude to women.

All the while denying treatment to men who realize they have been intentionally isolated to feel faulty. Shaming language is the first tool in their otherwise limited toolbag.

Marriage and dating dynamics are AIDS. Manifestations of underlying disorder.

Women are merely the needle you inject in your arm. They are replaceable but all of them cause some serious harm because they are the conduits by which gynocentric hatred for men is delivered.

Be free.

And watch the real men who are not misogynists embracing cuckoldry raising the sluts multicolored children.

[MGTOW_MedicParticipant 184]

You know my mom, of all people, used to warn me against dating when I was younger. She always said that Dating teaches people how to break up, not how to stay together. She would always segway that into a conclusion on how easy it is for people to get divorced in this day in age. While there may be some gaps in that logic, it’s not totally wrong. Both divorce and marriage is sold as a commodity, don’t believe me? Ask Crate and Barrel. Marriage and divorce, in our modern age of aberration, is merely a fashion statement that is tossed away when the times change.

All of the women who have left me, unloaded all their past issues, they held on to, in one, huge air-balloon sized rant of “f~~~ you’s” making it seem like it was all my fault and then walked away with an undeserved grin on their face. Unfortunately, this ego they need to constantly pump up, is merely a shadow.

When living life, consider Being-ness, Doing-ness, and Having-ness. What are the nature of these things? Also, when moving forward consider the positive side of getting into something NEW! Rather than trying to slug your way out of something old.

Of course, I don’t need to tell you any of these things, my friend, you seem very learned an experienced! Welcome aboard!

THIS IS WHAT THEY ALL DO, whether you are aware of it or not, even the most shy ad reserved of girls, (The one’s who’d NEVER do that), WILL do it.

Welcome Mr. Miser, well written too…..pull up a chair, have a beer with your brothers.

Yup, my last one was all about her relationship with the Supreme Being (don’t get me wrong, I am a believer. Sorry atheist brothers lol) and she still lumped all my stuff into the same category and it bore out, to her, as justified thought. Such dramatic times we live in when simple mistakes are fodder for the divorce cannons!

Greetings M,

We are in the same age group and have had similar experiences on the “Plantation.”

Your descriptions of your Red Pills is excellent.

Your choices are too familiar. I hope you are at a place where you can laugh at the role you played on the Plantation, see “nice guy” poster below.

Your perspective of life in Blue Pill Hell is right on the mark. So, you will fit in on this web site.

Congratulations for finding the MGTOW Road.

Nevertheless, you have NOT introduced yourself.

And your Profile has only twelve words, not much about your life as a free man.

No one here is being asked to give out specific details that will lead others to identify them. NO DOXING!

But, you are honor bound to provide general descriptions of your life as a Man.

So, here are some tips to Improve your “Introduction:”

In the reply box below, give general descriptions to the following questions:

What does YOUR Sovereignty look like these days?

Home, social, and work situations?

Hobbies?

What kind of fun things do YOU do?

Where have you lived?

What kind of jobs have you done?

Training/ Education?

Any future projects?

What happens when a man finally comprehends the cold and calculating thoughts that are going through a woman's mind, while her eyes are brimming with tears?

Welcome, Miser. Enjoy the future now that you have the knowledge and wisdom to do so.

You are among many your age and older. MGTOW has been around forever in very small circles, but awareness of it seems to be more prevalent more now than ever. That leaves us older gents with some stories to tell as we got redpilled early, but kept trying like bluepills only to find MGTOW so much later in life. Past is past. Share your experiences and hope it helps another man.

Welcome! I was a White Knight Mr. Nice guy for 40 yrs. Woke up, but thought I could do it differently. It was just changing seats on the Titanic & the band played on ( the BP delusion that is running society does not change) Glad you are here.
I stopped commiting myself to any action that does not benefit me. I keep my emotional life real but private. Indifference was my road to freedom.
You’ve paid your dues. Now,freedom is your inheritance.Enjoy the brotherhood of MGHOW

Welcome!

WELCOME !
I’m 56 , been through the same damn stuff Miser !
Being TOTALLY FREE is a GREAT FEELING. Great INTRO,… If you need me for anything feel free. MGTOW is NOT a group of men; it is a COMMUNITY of men who have ALL come to the same realization.

Marry again, Hell NO ! ( Even JESUS was hung on a cross just once)

I’m glad to hear you got out relatively unscathed.

Imagine being financially beholden to one of these vile creatures until the end of time.

Having to pay for some hypergamous, lazy, nasty ass bitch while you go short.

Welcome to life beyond the Matrix.

Hi Miser,

As you can see from the many posts your introduction has generated, MGTOW has many members from every demographic slice of life. I am 54 and became a member two months ago. You are among kindred spirits who can offer both knowledge and opinions, as well as are looking for your viewpoints and experience. You are welcomed and offered the sanctuary that can only be found among Men going their own way.

Peace to you
