Is monastic life after 50s better for men?

[cronusParticipant 8]

Hi everybody,
Myself is Soubhab and I’m from India. I am 33 years old. I hold a solid job and look handsome. I have been MGTOW throughout my life and certainly have no desire to set up a family of my own or having children. I have no girlfriend also and have very few family members. When I look back at history of India I see that MGTOW is very common throughout the history. Almost all of my friends are married or getting married (few of them got divorce also). I have no desire to marry despite having pressure from parents and peers. But my friends are having children and when they will be old enough they will have their fully grown up adult children at the time of their retirement.
In my 20’s I fancy about being a member of Buddhist monastery or a Hindu ashram and I saw plenty of pump and dump scenarios and lost my faith totally on modern women. I felt that monastic life is the ideal life style that suits me. Although I earn a huge salary, I lead a very simple non-materialistic life style. I mostly spent my time on my hobbies.
Therefore, my question to the senior members of this forum is that “Do you think that being a full-time monk in 50’s and later is better than being surrounded by your grown-up children and old wife at your 50’s and later?” Both of them have their own unique advantages and disadvantages.

It’s better at any age.

No risk of disease.

No risk of false accusation.

The historical Family has been destroyed for all intents and purposes.

The wealth of a nation was once based on the man and “his” family, now the family is for all intents and purposes a government institution giving all powers over the family to the woman in conjunction with the government.

As men we are only slaves to this modern endeavor of female empowerment through the power of laws and regulations, we are nothing in their eyes outside being the providers for this dastardly change to the old culture to this new one where family means nothing to a man! No security, no safety, no longevity, and no happiness, just a long train of misery and endless abuse.

It’s best to travel light and unloaded in a world set ablaze. Otherwise you’re likely to perish in the fire!

Stay single, stay free, travel lightly, commit to nothing, go your own way!

Family is DEAD! It’s nothing but a deadly trap now that men have absolutely no control over it, or the members in it!

The fire I speak of is metaphorically real and fed a long line of men each and every day!

Don’t stand in that line!

RUN!

There’s little guarantee that you will still be married you’re in your 50’s, and if you are; you may NOT want to be. Most Marriages only get worse over time as do Women.

As far as kids go. They will probably be, and should be out making their own life whatever that may be. You shouldn’t want nor expect to be “surrounded” by them.

The Monastic Life Style is the extreme opposite, and that might not be the best option either. Only YOU can decide that one.

Why don’t you just keep doing what you’re doing to enjoy life as well as sacking away cash for YOUR FUTURE ?

As you must know, India has some of the most horrific gynocentric laws on the planet with the 498A laws being arguably the worst. It used to be that only large cities were affected but the madness is now spreading into regional towns as well.
It’s the same “One Phone Call” situation there as it is anywhere else in the western world, possibly worse with India’s antiquated and over loaded legal system. You’re ruined if it’s your word against hers.
Just about every Indian man who’s ever posted here has explained the enormous social and family pressure they’re under to marry, despite the extremely gender biased family court system.
If you can survive the peer pressure, and also realize there’s no such thing as NAWALTS, you’ll live a long peaceful life and enjoy every moment of your solitude.

Less stress.

More money.

If you ever need help around the house, their are plenty of domestic services available, at rates FAR cheaper than any wife over the long run.

YES the monastic life style is the way to go. When I lived in Iowa I can very close to actually joining a monastery.

The pleasure of having and raising his OWN child(ren) for a man is beyond any other experience. Regardless of what men here or anywhere say. Granted each man is his own individual yet I am hard pressed to accept that each and every man in red pill/MGTOW community shuns the idea of having his own little ones.

To address your question – full-time monk in 50s is almost a given – even if you marry now and have 10 children. You won’t be having sex, your kids will grow (or almost) into adults. You will have time for your hobbies (if you are not divorced and paying alimony/child support).

What matters more is choosing monk in your 20s and 30s. The pain of sacrifice and discipline will offset the societal pressures and blames on you as a man when you see your peers enjoying the companionship and achievements of their own children.

If you enjoy women/sex without cultivating a strong sense of why you choose not to marry and have kids now, and make it a very rational, well-thought out ideology – there is a world of regret and hurt waiting for you in your 50s.

Don’t be deluded by the MGTOW mantra of single life as best version of being a man in our modern times. Even if it were a 100% truth the evolutionary deep seated desire to pass on your genes and have your own children is extremely strong for most men. MGTOW or not.

So if you choose to be a monk – now is the time. It is a process that cultivates your senses and rationals and you weigh your choices, calibrate them so when the time comes for you to grow old – you will be content in your choices and not get sucked into the facade of faux-happiness of otherwise miserable men and society in general that will go out of their way to make you feel less than human for forgoing misery through marriage and a wife to enjoy the satisfaction of having your own children.
