Wink,
As I read through that list of questions you posted, my brain started to drift around to answers I might have given to those questions a few years back when I was younger and still getting them. As it did, I found myself starting to get irritated slightly, but couldn’t figure out immediately why. Then, it occurred to me that the reason I was starting to feel irritated is the same reason these questions irritated me back in the day when I got them posed to me directly.
Don’t misunderstand. I’m not irritated at you for posting the questions here. But when I got those questions, (usually from nosey bitches who wanted something from me) they irritated me because the answers are generally NONE OF HER F~~~ING BUSINESS. Who the f~~~ does any nosey bitch think she is that she is entitled to have these insights into MY thinking, MY decisions, MY life? Who the hell is she to challenge me about MY decisions about MY life?
So before I get to my answers to these questions, I have one of my own: where did she get the idea that I or you or anyone else owes her any of these answers? The reality is that these questions are usually an invitation to you to put the reasons for your decisions on display so they can be used for target practice. The goal behind these questions is never to help you in any way. It is to learn more about your thinking so that it can be ridiculed or shamed or otherwise influenced toward thinking in other ways that have more potential to benefit someone else.
MGTOW does not mean I go my own way after I’ve explained my reasons and gotten approval for them. It means I no longer value that approval. So I have no need to explain at all.
But if I was feeling generous and polite (one the few minutes of each year that this occurs), I might say something like: I take full responsibility and accept 100% of all the results of every decision that I make. I’ve been doing this for a very long time. Since no one else is affected by my decisions, I don’t have to come up with explanations for them. I’d like to answer your question, but it’s been so long since I’ve needed to explain myself, I can’t remember very well how anymore. Smile and be polite when you say it, and they just get this dumb, confused look on their face and generally move on to someone else (which is exactly my goal: to get rid of them, but make them think it was their idea to leave me the f~~~ alone).
But all that being said, I’ll post a selection of my canned answers with the disclaimer that when a person asks me something that is none of their f~~~ing business, I take it as permission to lie to them, distract them, or use them for my own entertainment. But I NEVER feel obligated to tell them what they have no business knowing.
Afraid of commitment?
I’m not too afraid of commitment. I’m just too smart.
Why not married?
I’m not married for the same reason.
Why don’t I man up and…?
The behavior of a real man is not dictated to him by what someone else tells him he should man up and do…
When am I getting married?
I’ll be getting married at the exact time as my wife: which is when the benefit to me becomes worth the cost to me … <this sounds like sarcasm, but it isn’t… which is what makes it so beautiful when you think it through carefully>
I have a friend…
If I wanted to be in a committed relationship, and needed an introduction, I would have asked you already.
Why do I have so many guns?
Why do you have so many shoes?
Look, it's not my fault that tornado dropped a house on your sister. Now get back on your broom and get your ass out of here... and take your monkeys with you
