Greetings HM,
Appreciate your Introduction.
Many of us here at MGTOW are freed slaves and are just enjoying life outside the Plantation. Old guys like me who have been through Blue Pill Hell for too long, have emotion/ social scars and tend to be twitchy with a pitiful sense of humor. The Blue Pill is actually a hard core addiction, exactly like heroin. Even when former Blue Pill addicts are completely abstinent, we are damaged goods and function poorly in the world. And we are powerless over our addiction.
In Blue Pill Hell, I never listened to the advice of my wizened elders:
“The f~~~ing that you get….. Isn’t worth the f~~~ing that you’ll get.”
“If it flies, floats, or f~~~s … then rent.”
So, your situation sounds like heaven.
Nevertheless, I have had the honor of knowing a few Natural Born MGTOWs. They all gave me good advice on how to live. Here is a link to a Post I made about some of this sage advice:
Advice from an Old Farmer
The best MGTOW I know personally is my mentor Dave who I have written about in the Forums.
Dave is thirty years older than me and is one of the greatest guys I know. He has been “Red Pill” all of his life. He helped me to keep power plants running safely and avoid blowing them up. He is one of the best Engineers any one has ever known. Dave still lives at his parents’ home that his Father built and he is in his eighties. There were plans to build a log cabin in Montana when he retired, but more interesting things came up. And that was and still is HIS choice. Besides, he enjoyed his folks and was there to help them out when they were in their nineties. They never had to go to a nursing home and Dave was with them when they passed.
One of the reasons Dave never went off to Montana is because of his popularity in Illinois. For as long as I can remember, Dave always has a great sense of humor mixed with a state of peace and tranquility that transfers to anyone who is with him. Even in his eighties, his days are full of social calls, adventures, relaxation, harmony, and merriment. Some of his activities include shooting, sports cars, biking, nature walks, reading, and meetings with likeminded fellows.
Dave will dine out with the occasional woman but they are mostly “boring” and usually try to get Dave to fight with their neighbors. Dave claims that “when women get together in groups, they sound like a bunch of hens clucking.”
Dave had plenty of opportunities for marriage, but they all “didn’t work out.” Instead of sitting around feeling depressed when a “Unicorn” turned out to be just another “Filthy Mule,” Dave would jump out of planes in a parachute or go hang gliding. When the greatest blue pill “temptation” fell through, she was not his “Soul Mate” after all, Dave went out and got his Pilot’s License.
One of the greatest gifts that Dave gave me was the realization of Serenity. With the attainment of Serenity, Peace and Tranquility are glorious treasures. Having Serenity makes an interval spent watching sun sets/ rises, Bird Watching, and being Outdoors in Primal Forests a sacred time.
…Lately however, I’ve been feeling a little lost or confused with my life, like there is no direction.
It is good that you are not tempted to get into an addiction like Unicorn Hunting and having a RelationS~~~.
What you are feeling is a result of the times and “Culture” we are living in.
I have often wondered if Dave would have as much Serenity, if he were born in our generation.
We are subjected to more Serenity destroying addictions than Dave’s Generation.
Our soulless, materialistic, and Narcissistic “Culture” makes us bored with peace and tranquility.
Compared to what our ancestors had, we are culturally deprived.
Once you get past the glitter and flash, our modern lives are empty.
The series of fiction books starting with “Ishmael,” by Daniel Quinn do a nice job of explaining why you are feeling that way and he has an interesting fun approach to examining our soul destroying “Culture.”

………any guidance you brothers can provide will be fantastic.
You have found a Gold Mine here in MGTOW. Congratulations and Keep Digging.
Read and listen to the Archives/ Forums.
Our MGTOW brothers have deposited many nuggets of wisdom.
You can read all of the posts by your favorite MGTOWs by looking inside their Profiles and clicking their “Forums” tab.
I am adding some links below of topics I started which you may find useful. Feel free to comment on them.
The spiritual stuff below is an easy way to start. The useful stuff is really a form of mind training which helps for thinking outside the box.
A Course in Miracles
Celibacy and internal Martial Arts was another path that helped me. The comradery from training with other men is very important.

The following link discusses fun activities for MGTOWs.
