Men's Societal Pressure

[Anonymous 6]

Why do we as men have to cave into societal pressure in order to be labeled as a “Real Man”. Under different circumstances I, as I would think most of the men on this site, would not mind having a wife and kid. But when laws are against men and evidence shows how bad marriage can be for men, it would be suicide to get married in today’s world. I just hate that men are expected to put their lives on hold to become some woman’s personal ATM Machine and we’re supposed to be happy with that. I have goals, i have aspirations, by the logic of the women, i’m supposed to say forget what i want and embrace what she wants.

Men don’t compromise in marriage, they just give her whatever she wants so she will leave them alone. On top of the usual bills that we all pay, your expected to take on an additional bill (Wife) with the prospect of more bills( Kids). Those both are bills that can never be paid in full no matter how much you throw at it. I’m a country boy, so I love my trucks. I always say I want two trucks and a house to park them at. Real simple life is all i want. With the ability to invest my money in smart stocks and bonds. Save up whatever i want and spend as much or as little as i want. By women’s logic, i’m supposed to say NO to buying two trucks. NO to investing, and NO to doing what i want to do. Marriage to me in the modern sense, is just slavery with a new name.

But they will call you cheap when you bring up money, they will tell you to man up when you should provide them with a resource. The church will tell you to go ahead and get married despite it being filled with people from an older generation that didn’t go through the stuff that we go through now. In their eyes, everything is alright and it’s the guys that need to shape up. I just hate that i’m supposed to embrace something that puts me at a detriment. Hell, whenever someone asks me about the subject, I simply say, that i’m too focused on my career to settle down. They usually leave me alone after that. Or they start plotting because they know i’ll be a good financial catch. Nobody is entitled to my money other than me and whoever i choose to donate to.

If a woman wants something in life, they will have to work for it like everyone else. And while they do that, I gotta research some aftermarket parts to put on these two trucks.

yes, indeed.
the laws set by the courts will dictate how you live your life, and where to spend your hard earned money.

unfortunately, single mothers is one of the biggest tax burdens on western nations

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

True, the old guys who are in a boring marriage tell to get married, when i tell them i dont want to suffer like them, their answer is ”i will get a nawalt girl”

I still remember my Dads best friend, the preacher at our hard core Church of Christ, he as a great guy I loved him and his wife when I was a kid. Years later she divorced him out of the blue, their son had committed sucide years earlier and she went over the deep end because of this. Very Sad. My point is that even the supposedly great marriages will probably suffer and break up when struggles come up and they always will. Are we truly a pair bonding species? Despite my beliefs in God, I don’t think so. The bible seems to indicate that and with a few exceptions it is better to go your own way.

Venom, society will always try to shame you because you are not following the crowd, just continue to look at it with indifference and focus on you.

Well a marriage contract is agreeing to be indentured.

Parents wanna see kids and for woman, giving birth to a child is the biggest achievment ever (not sure why, does not seem to take much skill if you ask me).

My father did almost never show his emotions. He could not, because when he did in his childhood, he would be beaten up like crazy. I am the youngest of 3 children and have two older bitch…eh sisters. However, as my mother told me, my father only cried at my birth, because he was so happy, to have someone who would continue the name.

Eventually there seem to be two major conflicts: Society, needs children to survive. You don’t contribute childrens, you are not deserving a piece of what they will come up with in the future (that is what I am told over and over…from parents whos Child is just eating sand…well)

Letting society know, that you look out for yourself and you put your well-being first (this ofc does include the fact that you do not sign a contract that will destroy your life for good), is viewed as an extremly egoistic thing to do. Let’s be honest: it is. That does not make it wrong.

Last not least, lets not forget that their are many MGOTW, which want neither of the things you described. I don’t want a child and I damn sure am not made for monogomy. Seeing how there are two groups of MGTOW, they will pick out the “worse” example (me) and focus on that only.
