MGTOW AND THE BALOONIST

[Carl CParticipant 12]

Part short story, part joke, part life lesson and a increasingly all too familiar situation.

A woman was given a hot-air balloon, using it to visit a friend she loses control of it, drifts off and gets completely lost, after a while, she looks down and sees a man walking below!

Excited, as the balloon drifts drift’s closer, she shouts down “where am I? I promised a friend I would meet her in a few hours, but have no idea where she might be, where i am heading or how to control this thing.”

The man does not glance up and without breaking his stride he shrugs and says, “you’re in a hot-air balloon, approximately thirty feet in the air above a largely empty land mass, and you are heading wherever the wind decides” and continues on without another word.

The woman in the balloon screams at his back, “you must be MGTOW!”

Continuing on his way and without turning he replies “Good guess”.

Spitting with anger she screams “It was obvious, you are a typical MGTOW.” and then explains, “you see, while the information you gave me about my situation was technically correct, it’s completely unhelpful, because there’s nothing I can do with it. Also you did not even bother to turn your head and look at me or break stride when answering me.” She pauses and then shouts accusingly “So just what are you going to do about this situation DAMN YOU!!?.”

Walking out of view the man replies in a calm voice “And its also obvious you are a typical woman” then falls silent.

“What is that supposed to mean?” she howls over and over as she loses sight of him.

Finally she stops shouting and barely audible above the wind she just manages to hear the same calm voice reply, “You tried controlling something you did not understand, you made promises you couldn’t keep, you have no idea where you are and you have no idea where you’re going, you expect others to solve your problems for you, and you think it’s all their fault when they don’t.”

A nice bed time story for all MGTOW.

That’s brilliant and ever so true.

Is a old joke/story i modified in a way i knew would strike a familiar chord.

[DeepInThoughtParticipant 2710]

Wasn’t the old joke based on an Engineer?

There is a version like that, others have said it has been used in a officer and infantryman situation so it could go back as far as WW1 or earlier for all i know,
