A former student of mine now colleague who has become a good friend calls and wants to introduce me to her new boyfriend and tells me he hasn’t liked any of her friends so far and if he doesn’t like me she is breaking up with him as they have been fighting quite a bit as well. I jokingly tell her everyone likes me and I’m sure he will too. I arrive at the restaurant and she and boyfriend come in shortly and I can see his unease. In the beginning he is constantly looking to her but he and I soon strike up a conversation and he loosens up and all three of us have a good time. I don’t know when it hit me but I was looking at him and began to feel sorry for the man. I saw my own situation with my ex-girlfriend and if I went down that road the lose of my hopes and dreams and the constant anxiety. I thought about the trips I have planned to swim with humpback whales and scuba dive in the Caymans with my best friend and other adventures I want to take. If I was this man across from me I would not be able to do those things. Life would only be about making her happy. By the end of the night he liked me so much that he wanted to set me up with his sister, I politely declined but told him I would think about it. I truly hope the best for my friend and her boyfriend but the odds are not in their favor. This video by CS MgTOW has me thinking twice about even entering into any kind of relationship.
Two days later I meet up with another friend who is gay and having relationship difficulties with his boyfriend. We meet every once in a while and talk about medicine, life, relationships. Again, I see the same anxiety on my friends face that I saw a couple of nights before. After talking about his boyfriend and discussing how hard it is for him to break up with his boyfriend despite the toxic relationship it is, we talk about my ex who described her father as unhappy, working all the time and basically being the worker drone. She wanted me to be this as well and I broke up with her with shocking (to me) ease. After describing this my friend looks at me and is honest and says I have an anti social personality, not unfriendly but described it as not necessarily needing to be around people and that he was the opposite and needed to be around people. Explained to him that there is more to life than just spreading my seed, there has to be more to life. I asked him how many truly happy marriages do we really see? He could not answer. Less than a year ago I was sitting in a doctors office having my blood taken to find out if I was going to live or die. I didn’t and feel so fortunate to have escaped but realize how truly fragile our lives are. I will never forget what the doctor told me and it can apply to anything in life. He looked hard at me and says life is not about this disease it’s about what’s out there and he points out the window. For you young MGTOW, find what gives your life meaning, live your dreams don’t waste it chasing women and relationships.
"what a waste of a life, to marry, give up your freedom, just for the hope of not dying alone. Don't get married Son."
I spent today with friends drinking and playing board games and during this time they talked about how their partners take all the blanket, leaving them cold or driving them mad some other way wishing they had their own beds, I laughed as I used to be the ‘blanket stealer’ and I love having my bed to myself. Even if I did have a partner I would drive them insane with my difficulties getting to sleep. It’s so peaceful having my own space; I can’t imagine having to share it with someone.

Several important threads to inform members of upcoming schedule, recent trouble shooting and more. These threads will be removed from "sticky" status to not be so in your face as you're browsing. They are for your interest and info and ordered by priority.
Updated 08.24, we have implemented a mechanism to automatically check for ( and publish ) any pending topics every 5 minutes. It is tested confirmed working, however in one case, the timestamp is setting it to GMT time (in the future) so any replies will appear before the topic. So, we have reverted the mechanism and will handle it manually until the timestamp issue can be solved. Thank you.
