I am from Texas and have lived here my whole life, but have traveled extensively.

I am divorced, I know shocker huh? Recently engaged to a rare woman that is a feminist, and totally agrees with the MGTOW, ideology. Kind of a “if it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander.” Philosophy. It’s refreshing. <span style=”font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5;”>So fear not, there really are good women out there that “get it.” Not many though.</span>

I consider myself unbelievably lucky. Had I not found her I would not be in a long term nor even quasi permanent relationship with anyone of the opposite sex.

I am so looking forward to discussion and debate with others who see the imbalance in society where traditional gender roles are concerned.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you. Ask me anything, you’ll likely get an answer! I defy lot’s of stereotypes, and generally love life and my choices. I’m a registered nurse because I love doing it. I enjoy cooking, because I love doing it. So some people assume I’m a big push over, and hen pecked. Nothing is farther from the truth. My significant other is also a nurse, so we both bring home bacon in equal measure. We don’t “need” each other for anything. We simply love the company and sex.

I totally get why men are staying away from marriage in droves. I simply won the lottery, and found a rational, logical woman that truly believes in equality. Otherwise I would not be in a relationship with 99% of the users… err… women out there. I have utmost respect for those who show it. Most women don’t even have a clue, and there is no social pressure to get one. Then men are blamed for opting out of their no win scenario.

We should all have the freedom to pursue happiness in this life. Free from the perceived obligation to sacrifice all of your own choices, to make a woman happy. If you aren’t happy on your own, no one else is going to do it for you. Making a woman or anyone else for that matter is not my job. Only I can make me happy and fulfilled, I don’t need a woman in my life to have that. I just happen to find one that feels exactly the same way.

Looking forward to responses and getting to know you all.

And “rational, logical woman” is never something you can find in the same sentence. Unless you’re talking about women that LACK such things.

And you’re engaged to this woman? Sorry to say it, pal, but once you decide to sign a legal, binding contract with her, you’ll find that the sex is disappearing, her “support on MGTOW” views are gone, and rational and logical views that you find that she has has gone straight down the f~~~ing toilet. And you wouldn’t be a MGTOW anymore. Married MGTOW do not exist, despite the outcries from whiny married men who THINK they’re going their own way, and then have to cut the argument short because they gotta go to the store to buy bath oils for Cupcake so she doesn’t get angry.

You’ve been sold a bill of goods, pal. Women are GREAT actresses. They can play the part of the “loving, supporting, rational, logical, sexed-up” woman, right up until the ring is on her finger and your name is on the dotted line of the contract.

In case you haven’t heard, marriage is a BUSINESS, a WEALTH TRANSFER to the woman’s name. The fact that you even said “I’m engaged to a feminist” on a MGTOW forum board and not talking about dumping the bitch makes everyone want to f~~~ing bolt for the doors. Feminists don’t give a S~~~ about men. When you mentioned MGTOW to her and that she “supports” it, 100 percent most likely, she’s thinking, “Awwww, isn’t that cute? The loser men all have a little club talking about how they don’t want to get involved with women anymore. And my fiancee is one of them! I’ll just smile and play along for now, but once he marries me, I’ll put his loser ass in line and we’ll see WHO is REALLY in charge!”

Might want to think about that. And welcome to the forums…for the limited time that you’ll be on here, I’m sure.

Dude, RUN…. don’t wait do it now, you’ll thank me later. No feminist gives the first iota of a f~~~ about ANY man. You just think she cares because she hasn’t got you locked down yet with a ring and a contact. Mark my words, when she does…. well like Forrest Gump, just like that your runnin’ days are over.

You are not LUCKY, there is no such thing as luck especially with womyn. You are addicted to an illusion. You will regret this. Feminist = “MAN HATER”, and you, sir, are a challenge to her. Run before the barn door closes. You know she’s a feminist.

Hello there, you sound like me only a few years ago. Read my intro “no such thing as a unicorn.”

I am not dispensing legal advice, just simply my experience with these matters. Like a child touching the hot stove, you have to get burned to learn from the experience. You will have to make up your own mind. I am simply offering you a likely outcome.

Marriage changes the balance of power, and the dynamics. While you might be economically equal at this point, it does not mean it will stay that way. If you were to have children, custody and support tends to be weighted towards your wife by default. I have seen this game before – first child come along; child care responsibilities cause her to reduce her hours of work. Now she has posted a material loss. She will have her proverbial foot on your neck for the rest of your life. If you don’t meet her expectations, or she gets bored, or if she was just using you to fulfill her biological need, she will have the ammunition to make your life hell. Depending on where you live, she will get sole custody of the children, spousal support, the matrimonial home to maintain a stable environment for the best interest of the children. Plus, your fiancée is educated, and by your own admissions a feminist – high likelihood of a basement apartment in your future.

Be very cautious, she might be playing possum. If things are so great, continue on just enjoying each other’s company without a property rights contact. Marriage will not keep her with you – trust me – I learned that lesson. It matters not how fantastic a human you might be.

I wouldn’t let a feminist lick the sweat from my b~~~~

Dude, what the f~~~??? You’re quoting me in s~~~ that I NEVER even said???

“Quasi permanent”??? I barely know what the f~~~ that means, much less how to use it in a sentence! Unless there is another “mgtow 85” on this forum, I’m getting sick of people changing and twisting my quotes around into s~~~ that I never even said. You can quote YOURSELF on this s~~~. Not try to say that it was something that I posted.

If I found myself in a similar situation I would take the advice given here and not get married. If two people enjoy being together they can be together without the marriage contract. Love is a feeling and can’t be put on paper.

I deal with IT so bugs are part of my life so do not interpret my answer as flippant. I agree it’s confusing as hell.

@Key: I’m running Chrome on Win 8.1 Pro all fully updated and did draw quote from OP.

If I told you 55% of sky divers die on their first dive, would you do it?

If I said, hey man 54% of people who run with the bulls in Spain get gored and die of septicemia, would you chance it?

Well over 50% of marriages end in divorce, with over 70% initiated by women.

YOU’RE NOT SPECIAL OR UNIQUE!!! WITH ALL DUE RESPECT IT CAN ONLY END TWO WAYS MATHEMATICALLY.

Please think about what your doing, stay engaged but don’t ever get married.  Cohabitation is best its like being married but you can walk away at any time.  I’m not trying to scold you or condone your decisions, but if or when it ends badly and she wakes up and says, “I love you but im not in love with you,” you have no one to blame but yourself for getting married, cohabiting you can walk away mostly unscathed.

Think long and hard, make a spreadsheet and calculate the negatives and positives if it helps to make a decision.

As a gentlemen above said, you cannot be married and MGTOW, it doesn’t exist and IMO neither does being gay and MGTOW, its just rhetoric and utter BS in my humble opinion.

Think long and hard is all I can say, this decision is prob one of the biggest you will make with regards to your life, marriage is a death sentence sometimes, they either fry you or your bank account or if you’re really unlucky both.

Good Luck
