I picked the name Casper because I think it suits me.  I don’t Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Tumblr, Tinder, Match, etc.  This website is just about the extent of my social media presence.  I’ve never been married and I don’t have any kids.  I don’t ever want to get married or have any kids.  I graduated high school when I was seventeen, college when I was twenty, and have retired before forty.  I love life, and people often tell me they are jealous of me and that anyone would be lucky to be me.  Some people just hate me, though, lol.  People hate because they have to work, are older, and don’t think that is fair, or they are divorced paying alimony and/or child support and are just all around miserable, or they are women who are trying and failing to sink their claws into me.  People are always trying to set me up with this person or that person, and it is annoying.  I wish they’d stop, and I tell them as much, but they don’t.

Anyway, I’ve never given my lifestyle a label before, but when I discovered MGTOW and this site, it all just fit.  I’ve been reading over this site the past few days, and I have just been laughing so much, because it is all true.  This is a great place and the time I’ve spent reading, watching, and listening to the content of this site has been most enjoyable.  Thanks, to all of you who contribute.  🙂

I picked my name based on an individual I knew, who lived and died the MGTOW life, long before it was ever defined. He is my role model.

You retired before 40! Holy hell lol. What kind of work did you do? What are you doing with your life right now? Some cool and fun stuff I bet!

You are absolutely brilliant and insightful, for being someone of your generation to have gone MGTOW. You came to the conclusion and had the foresight to see what it took men an extra 20+ years to see, that marriage is a bad deal. As someone who is only 23 I feel like there’s a ton I can learn from you. Feel free to share your wisdom and experiences here.

We need a future generation of MGTOWs so you should rethink the not having kids part and ditch the old ball and chain.

If you already have a son, raise him to be a MGTOW. But we don’t need to create baby boys just to have MGTOWs. MGTOW is a naturally occurring rational phenomenon that is a reaction to the changes that gynocentrism has brought to gender dynamics and marriage. Many men are MGTOW and don’t even know it yet. Just sit back and watch it happen, MGTOW is exploding.

I was probably a product of my environment as far as the MGTOW lifestyle goes.  I’ve read here that a smart person learns from their mistakes, but the really sharp ones learn from the mistakes of others.  That is me.  I saw the people around me suffering from bad relationships from the time I was very young.  My parents were both well educated and both made very good money, but they hated each other.  They never got divorced, but I remember them sitting me down one day to tell me that they were thinking about it, and they asked me who I would want to live with.  I told them I wanted to live with both of them.  Maybe that is why they never divorced.  But, I received much insight into their thinking since they shared with me at a very young age just how much they hated each other and constantly were amazed I loved either of them, lol.

I have two brothers and a sister.  My sister was unfaithful to her husband, had an abortion of the baby of the man she was having an affair with, and then told my ex-brother in law that she had a miscarriage.  Obviously, they divorced.  My younger brother is divorced, and my older brother’s relationship with his wife has always been shaky as they have separated and have had mental breakdowns.  So, I picked up on all of this and just decided to do my own thing.

I have dated and had a few one night stands, but over the years I was able to pick up some tricks that women do to trap men, and it was just a huge turn off for me.  Many of the guys I worked with were paying ridiculous alimony and child support.  They were spending so much money, I seriously questioned how they actually could afford a place to live for themselves.  I had a co-worker sabotage her birth control on purpose to have a kid.  If you pay attention to people, you can see the injustice everywhere.  Hell, I once walked into a convenience store and the female clerk was bragging about how much her ex had to pay her, and said, “that’s his problem.”  Now, when I look around, my eyes are really open, and I have no intention to ever place myself in a position to be taken advantage of.  I realize how good I have it right now, and want to keep it that way.

As far as the jobs I’ve had go, I don’t want to go into details about them right now, but the important thing to retire early is to save, save, save money.  Most people spend more than they earn and that is a big mistake.  Save as much as you can, because being a slave is no way to live.

Save as much as you can, because being a slave is no way to live.

What a great piece of wisdom,,,,,,and a mighty welcome to the boards Casper.

It’s fun to save, despite the feminazi shaming. Scrooge, skinflint, tightwad,,,,all putdowns originating from women.
Once you realise it’s just feminazi shaming, backed by materialistic capitalism,,,,,,it’s loads of fun.
It’s even more loads of fun to have loads of cash reserves. It gives you freedom, choice, therefore POWER!

I’m MGTOW level 3 now and I have been for well over 10 years. It means I’ve basically retired, but I still get a bit bored so I work part time mostly.
I find that if I start over working and earning too much I buy way too much STUFF.
If I had a woman that wouldn’t be any problem at all because no amount of earning can satiate their spending desires. Ask any millionaire,,,their demands increase proportionally to the amount of money they think they’re entitled to.

That’s just the money side of it.
I had my own relationship experience to learn from but it was the observational awareness that nailed it for me.
Including the so called “Successful” marriages that were really perpetual states of horror beneath a thin veneer of perfection.
I learned to never go fishing more than once or twice with a guy in a “Successful” marriage. The reality of his life oozes out like puss from a lanced boil once he feels comfortable and safe enough to start sharing.

Then the net came along, lol.
Hope you don’t feel quite so “weird” now, knowing there’s a whole generation of guys going the same way as you, for the same reasons.

Now, when I look around, my eyes are really open, and I have no intention to ever place myself in a position to be taken advantage of.  I realize how good I have it right now, and want to keep it that way.

A lot of us MGTOW’s are seeing the world and society with such clarity as this now. It is refreshing and disturbing at the same time. For me, I have now realized how dumb most people really are, I mean the complete lack of common sense and spatial awareness is mind blowing.

I have been criticized, abused, called weird and insecure because I have no intention of getting married at 40 y/o now. It’s like when you tell them this clearly and directly you can actually see their eyes spinning trying to calculate it in their tiny bubble minds. And yet the same dumbass responses always come out. So I just tend to avoid people now or when they ask, I flatly tell them “None of your business.” Then sometimes on that they reply “Are you gay?” People, most people I meet are grubs, they act and portray the “good hearted person” but as Casper said you’ve just got to watch them, because they really are grubs!
