Interview Request — Writer from Men's Lifestyle Magazine

[cbriansmith902Participant 30]

Hey guys,

My name is Brian Smith and I’m a writer with MEL Magazine, a men’s lifestyle publication owned by Dollar Shave Club.

Here’s a story we did about millennial guys getting chin implants.
Here’s a story I wrote about man caves.

We’re working on a story about MGTOW and I was hoping to speak to some members. First name only is cool.

Please drop me a line if you’re interested.

Thanks,
Brian

How do we know you are legit and not just a t~~~/troll?

Just an east coast asshole who likes to curse, If you get offended by words like fuck, cunt, shit, piss, bitch or any racial slurs then you just scroll down.

Hi Brian. I believe you spoke to us a few weeks ago for a short chat that was cut short? Did you want to reschedule?

We have had some previous friction with other media sources who attempted to “interview MGTOW” and they didn’t have much journalistic integrity (to say the least), so there will be some apprehensive attitudes over this. Don’t take it personally because it’s not.

For example, the way the BBC approached their documentary on MGTOW was rather slippery and backhanded.

We are mgtow.com so we have a certain obligation to answer general questions when a paper or TV show writes to us, so we would be “mgtow.com” and not “a person”. Like if you contacted the New York Times…. you would be addressing “The New York Times”.

We will have someone contact you in the AM… or you can use the contact form and someone will get back usually within 24 hours. You can also submit a list of questions and we can respond in written form if you prefer.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Brian, sweet deal … I hope your story on MGTOW, isn’t like all the others out there. We’re really tired of half assed articles, claiming to be investigating MGTOW, and it ends up the same old same old shaming tactics and cliche’s over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Maybe try being the first journalist to actually write something that’s worth the paper it’s printed on … Or worth the pixels on my screen.

Oh god.

I’m going to be nice here, asking for interviews like this is generally frown upon. Especially if the person asking is making their first post a request. It makes you look suspicious, and we have had similar occurrences in the past if I’m not mistaken. I would suggest going to Reddit for stuff like this.

This forum is primarily for men to share their insight and experiences, and to give advice on personal matters. It’s not really for media requests.

Thanks for getting back to me guys. Can assure you I’m neither a t~~~ nor a troll.

Brian,

Unless you toe the feminist narrative you really run the risk of winding up on the feminist/Social Justice Warrior hit list. You might want to seriously consider not writing anything which could get you in trouble with them.

If you do toe the feminist line out of fear of what they could do to your career, well, we are use to it. The litter box is full of white knights, manginas, twits and t~~~s who scream shaming language until their keyboards break. We have heard it all before and we will continue on our merry way.

It would be nice once in a while for a writer to research and listen before writing a knee jerk reaction article of “they are losers”, “they are worthless”, “don’t listen to them”. So do your research, surprise us for once with a balanced view.

It appears that you are gay. No worries many of us here are Milo fans and root for him. You may be gay but that doesn’t exclude you from the gynocentric feminist society that has developed over the years. It does let you have a voice though at least until feminists / SJW redefine gay to not include whites or males. 🙂

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning; it is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

[StandUpGuyParticipant 334]

Just like the women; I will tell you the same thing; you got to PAY to play. So how will you be paying?

[hansmolemanParticipant 194]

Chin implants and man caves.

This is fluff. I can’t imagine mgtow being interested in this hipster/frat bro s~~~.

Brian i suggest you head over to bodybuilding.com or rooshv.com for your interviews, you will get better material and quotes for your article.

Thank me later.

Men getting implants for women?

My wallet has been getting implants since I’ve been going my own way:

You can use that in your article.

… and it could well be exactly those or similar implants, that he is after or couldn’t it …?

Well, one good thing here: most of us are bulls~~~ proof.

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body. Back to the plantation..? Me..? Hey, literally: I won't ever fucking kid myself...YZERLMNTSIC

Of course it is. You know why? Because you’re taking someone who lives in feminazistan to a little trip across enemy lines to MGTOW. Read: ACROSS ENEMY LINES. Doesn’t matter what he takes away from this, its going to be diluted into some cute article on how some men are “slightly annoyed” by women and are simply “waiting for the one, but just haven’t found her”. Most internet ‘journalists’ specialize in writing hit jobs or catchy titles to get their name on the map. Probably took an overpriced college course on it taught by a hyper feminist overpaid bitch with a hyphenated name. I f~~~ing hate hyphenated names, its such a dead giveaway. Cant appeal to the masses with substance. Good luck.

Brothers, let me strongly suggest that you don’t give this “journalist” the time of day. You know how these “interviews” always turn out and you can read about in the forums here. At worst it will be another hit piece like the BBC’s. At best it will nothing more than mindless click bait.

Given that Mr. Smith’s “publication” is owned by a shave club and given his previous “insightful” work on chin implants and man caves, I’m betting on mindless click bait, but why take the risk or give him anything for free?

If he wants to know about MGTOW, let him do what journalists used to do and research the subject instead of asking someone to hand him the Cliff Notes version. The archives are open to him and he can follow the links as well as anyone else.

Let Mr. Smith interview the Empty Chair.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

Agree.
We are out, MGTOW doesnt need publicity, there is thousands of us out there, i know 3 MGTOWs they dont called that of course they dont even know this exist. They just are, a renowed cardiologist, an very capable and inteligent otorrinolaringologist and a sistems manager. I was surprised when i learned about them in my firsts days GMOW.

losers? as i see it most MGTOW are decent men, men of principles and highly productive members of society.
Shame on society.

Dollar Shave Club sold out recently and made me sad. We can expect nothing but expensive razors in the future.. again. Even Harrys razors are being sold in Target now. FFS. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-20/why-unilever-really-bought-dollar-shave-club

DON’T TRUST HIM!!

[RASmanParticipant 1994]

By going our “own way” we’re saying we don’t subscribe to any single set of beliefs or behaviors; so to get an accurate interview, he’d have to interview 16,000 of us. And interviewing one or two and claiming that defines MGTOW would be inaccurate (but then, what has accuracy to do with “journalism”?). I suspect that the central idea of self ownership by staying off the plantation by avoiding as much interaction with females as possible (especially romantic) would be buried in, or subjugated to a “man cave” mentality oriented pejorative. Anyway, this won’t rate the Pulitzer.

[FermatParticipant 3478]

Chin implants? What the hell??

I have discovered a truly remarkable list of reasons why women are not necessary for a happy life, but alas this margin is too small to contain it.
