Hi guys, I’ve been a level 2/3 MGTOW for about 4 years now and didn’t even know it. A smarter, more single friend of mine sent me a link to this site and I immediately knew I had to sign up. My red pill moment: After my wife divorced me, took my house and ran off with her new found professional hand drummer/snowboard instructor/ sushi restaurant manager/ Harley Davidson Wannabe/soul mate, I immediately searched out and found a new girlfriend because I knew having a woman in my life was the surest way to bring me happiness and contentment.
It wasn’t long before I moved into her 5000 sqft house, paid for by her ex husband who, incidentally, is currently living in his parent’s basement. The house “she deserved” had an apartment above the garage that she rented to a single, 50’s divorced guy who, surprise, surprise, lost his house to his ex wife. One day his toilet started backing up and my girl friend asked me to fix it because, well, that’s what men are for.
As a beta male I dutifully agreed and I tried for half an hour to remove the obstruction in the toilet but couldn’t force it through. Eventually removing the toilet from the floor I found the problem – not with the toilet but with my life. In a moment of clarity I sat on the floor and thought what the f~~~ am I doing? I’m literally covered in s~~~ because the bitch that stole my house resulted in me moving in with a bitch that stole her house that resulted in me shoving my hand up a toilet for a guy that had a bitch steal his house. Living the dream. Of course it was much more than just the financial injustices that hit me.
I started thinking of all the other crap I accepted as being part of a “normal” relationship and after taking a really hard look at everything I realized it was all a house of cards. I told her we were done. The next day I picked up all my possessions from her lawn (really) and in 5 years I haven’t looked back. I have never, ever regretted a second of my being single. The older I get the more I realize how little importance a woman has in my life.
I know being single isn’t perfect and there are times I miss the intimacy of a close relationship but it doesn’t take long for those thoughts to get blown away by the memories of the reality of living with (for?) a woman. I just can’t see paying the cost for something that has such diminishing returns. More and more of my friends and co workers realize the same thing and it only reinforces my new attitude and reading through the articles and forums on this site cements it. Looking forward to reading lots more on this site.
P.S. While figuring out what to write for this introduction I thought of a few things I have never had to do in the last 5 years:
• go shopping for: tampons, Jewelry, flowers, healing crystals,
• eat a salad with mandarin oranges,
• explain why mandarin oranges in a salad tastes like s~~~
• watch Dancing with the Stars
• actually go Dancing,
• eat couscous, tofu, or quinoa.
• turn off hockey/baseball/football/basketball/Formula1/MotoGP/NOVA/Family Guy
• go to a fortune teller
• answer the question: If I die would you re-marry?
• put my toilet seat down
• smell patchouli oil
• listen to the complete Black Crows first album. Then listen to it again. And then again.
• hide my money so I don’t have to explain why I’m spending my money
• Say “of course you look younger than your real age”
