MGTOW don't marry vs MGTOW aren't married. There is a difference.

[IGMOW (I Go My Own Way)Participant 2572]

So, I am thinking here, that isn’t it better to say MGTOW don’t marry, as opposed to MGTOW aren’t married?  As someone pointed out in another thread, a man may be in a marriage that is dying, and is miserable, and he decides to start going MGTOW.  I can see that happen.  The difference is that, once a man is MGTOW, he isn’t going to get married (or he won’t be considered MGTOW).  Anyone care to comment on this and maybe tweak it as need it?  I am thinking of revising what I had been saying about MGTOW based on this, so I am up for feedback.

I’m not married, and even before finding this site, I was not ever inclined to marry.  This is based on my opinion that the vast majority of marriages that I’ve observed in my personal experience are a miserable existence for the men who are married.

Now that MGTOW has articulated the reasons why it’s too risky to get married (it all rings true when you read it) I don’t think I would go through with it.

Society, women, family all push you towards marriage, and try to make you feel inadequate if you don’t do it.  It’s a lot to overcome for some.

This is on point for me. Once things are finalized it’ll be the last time I am ever in a marriage or any form of LTR. I think you are right that there is the two types, one has already figured it out and knows to never get married, and then the others that have to figure it out the hard way. However, most will never figure it out, that’s why you have some men that have been married 4 different times.

Let’s hope as this site grows and informs the masses of blue pilled men, we will see the transition away from marriage and LTR’s. It’s funny since joining and reading a lot of introductions, the amount of new members that are really young and are already GTOW, makes me so happy. Whether they stay that way who knows, but if I knew back then what I know now, I’d be better off and a lot happier.

I agree with richard, MGTOW as a philosophy should be “to strive to not marry.” If you are already married, your aim will be to live a fulfilling red pill lifestyle while minimizing how much your wife can screw you over OR ideally either leaving and vowing never to marry again. For those who are not married, they sure as heck should strive to stay that way. MGTOW is more about your attitude towards marriage and way the system tries to destroy the will of men rather than build it. You attitude towards marriage will determine how you navigate your relationships, be you single or trapped.

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.

I was married for longuer than I care to admit to myself. I went my own way after that, not even considering letting a wemin have phone nr now. No one checks on me, tells me to turn right or left.
If it doesn’t stay that way that’ll mean I’m in jail.

I know married men who would dearly like to Go Their Own Way, but obviously they can not. They will have to cast off their shackles first.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

I think that is a lesson that would float around MGTOW.  I don’t know any man who could fully go his own way, if he is married.  That is a reason why MGTOW shouldn’t marry.  Of course, a lot of men don’t have a way of their own that is strong enough to defend and uphold, so they are more prone to get married.  Loneliness, emptiness, the sex drive, and social pressure all push a man to date, try to get a family and a wife, and so on.  Thrown in also that is what is seen as done, and that is what they do.

It is like the story of the ham pan and the ends being cut off from it.  It was done several generations for no reason that was able to be determined, by a family.  One man ended up letting his being curious get to him, so he investigates.  He found out that several generations back the ham pan was too small, so the ends were cut.  But, the custom continued.  And such is with the default of men getting married.

So, my hope with this is maybe there is a bit more clarity in regards to men who are married who want to be MGTOW, not just being shut out of the discussion or hanging around.

MGTOW are exactly what it says on the tin. It’s right there in the description.

MGTOW are Men GOING Their Own Way. So it’s all a matter of where they are GOING, not where they currently are.

If a man is going anywhere near an altar, he isn’t Going His OWN Way, and so can’t be a MGHOW.

Meantime an already married man can can wake up and be a MGHOW, because he can GO His Own Way. It’s called divorce.
