My Introduction

[amb6zParticipant 19]

This is probably going to be pretty long. I posted here a few years ago, can’t remember my old account name, nor my email. I had to delete a few main email accounts because of various reasons, including a crazy ex girlfriend. One of those was probably my old account email.

I know it’s kind of hipster to say I was MGTOW before I knew what it was, but originally it wasn’t based on many of the logical reasons I’ve read from men here. I was severely abused by my parents growing up, all my siblings were, and originally it came from that. I said there was no way in hell I would ever get married or have kids, when I was around 10 years old. The lessons I learned growing up and the way I was treated cemented this in my mind, as early as I can remember.

In my early 20’s though, I was honestly pretty mangina. I wanted a girl to complete me, and I wasted a lot of my time seeking out the perfect girl. I did still and always have intended on never getting married. I lost my virginity at a late age, to a single mother in her late 30’s, and I became a complete mangina simp for her, helping her with chores around the house, even doing some construction work, fixing her place up for free. She was probably honestly with other dudes when this was happening, I caught her snorting crushed up pills one morning, and I still didn’t leave her.

I finally did after awhile, mainly because of my mental illness, I would date for awhile, then lose interest in a woman. Thankfully this happened, and I was done. I thought about all the ways I could have been legally screwed while I was dating her, her getting busted with pills and I lose my student loans. She knew I was in college and didn’t give a s~~~, she wanted me to run with her and do a couple deals, I explained the student loan thing and she didn’t give a s~~~. I didn’t go, obviously.

She did have the nerve to tell me one day she had a 4.0 in college, comparing it to what I was doing, and acting like she was better because I have a 3.6, I replied, “Yeah, but you majored in art and history, I’m doing chemistry and math, slight difference in difficulty there.”

Earlier in my 20’s, at 23, I joined the Army as a combat medic and did a tour overseas in 2004, when the whole Iraq s~~~ was kicking off. It was a crazy experience, and I learned a lot. I had women in medic school that were total sluts, I never did anything with any of them because I was painfully shy. We would get a hotel room in San Antonio on the weekends and get drunk, I only did this once. I’d usually stay in the barracks on the weekends and play Halo with a friend I had met there.

Decided to go to college in 2006, and it has been a rough ride. I’ve dropped out 5 times over the years due to my medical issues. Spring of 2016 was the last time. I was a month into my final semester, taking nuclear physics and inorganic chemistry together, and I ended up being hospitalized at the VA for a week. I dropped out for the last time. Around this time, my disability finally came through, 12 years after I was discharged. I moved to Washington state last July, have been here since.

Due to issues here, I have to move out at the end of the month. I decided since I was already here, I would hike the 2650 mile Pacific Crest Trail, fly down to San Diego and start the 4th of April. I had already completed the Appalachian Trail in 2010, 2185 miles through 14 states or so. That’s my profile pic, after 5 months hiking from Georgia to Maine. It was an enjoyable experience, and I’m surprised that I waited this long to do another one.

I’ll go back home and finish my degree when I am done. Since I have the finances now, I am just going to take one class a semester, since the last two are the most difficult for my degree. Then I want to do some traveling, some more hiking, who knows what else.

But the last few years have really come together as far as the MGTOW thing, not sure if it’s just a lot more confidence in myself, my goals, getting older, or what. But I just want to do my own thing. I knew anyways that most of my interests wouldn’t appeal to anyone I was dating, I live pretty uncomfortably while I hike, no real luxuries, stripped down gear for weight considerations and such. I’m not interested in buying things, or owning a car or house. I don’t care much about money.

I’ve always been a minimalist, but the last few years I’ve really gotten rid of almost everything. I can fit everything I own into a 45L backpack with room to spare aside from this computer, of course. I’m happier with less, and it opens up so many avenues for traveling and hiking in the future.

I’ll probably just mainly lurk here, and post a few comments from time to time. Hopefully I can finish college by the end of next year, mainly because I am so close to being done, moreso than actually needing the degree. I do have my review Compensation and Pension exam at the VA in 2020, so that’ll basically decide what I do after. They can cut everything, or decide the current rate is fine, and leave it as is. That’ll basically be the last one.

Thanks for your re-introduction. I’m happy you’re enjoing life, BUT…

Please don’t dox yourself. You dropped a lot of info accompanied with an actual photo of yourself. Remember this is not a private space and anyone can come here and read this thread. How would you like a raging feminist labeling you as a woman hater and harassing you, your family members, employers and dean? Change your avatar, man.

I'm no white knight, Sir. Give me a strong suit of armour, a swift steed and the open road and stick the hand of the princess up your arse. I've no ring to put on it and I'm fresh out of fucks to give.

I’ll probably change the pic, but other than that, I haven’t really said anything to specifically hone in on me, to find out who I am. And I don’t have an employer. Also, my chemistry department doesn’t hold much weight for feminists, we tend to focus on data and facts.

Congratulations…. it took me 40 years to get mine. Most of that time was spent listening to NSO’s from every organization you can name tell me I had no claim. Consequently, it never got filed, so when I finally got it, no back pay. When I finally got someone to listen to me, my claim was awarded in 3 months.
It’s tough to be used up by women like that. Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, doesn’t make it right, but doing the right thing for the wrong reasons? Well, that’s called serendipity…..
Welcome to da house, brother.

Typical woman hypocrite, you are doing some heavy lifting brother. To have a GPA in a program like that is commendable. Good job. Thank you for your service.

Yeah, haven’t played in forever though, 4 was the last one I played. I think the first one had the most balanced weapons. Everyone complained and they ruined the pistol. That thing was a pro’s weapon, and no matter what anyone carried, if you were good, you had a fighting chance. People hated me using it, I could land a headshot with every bullet, did a 16 player game when I got out of the Army and won every game for 8 hours straight by a huge margin, I’d walk into a room and kill 4 people with one pistol mag, all headshots, while moving. I hadn’t played an xbox before then, but I started playing shooters on PC with the wolf3d demo, and once I got the controller down, it was brutal.

Even funnier was my favorite weapon was the plasma pistol, and I don’t mean charged shots. People literally didn’t expect to get destroyed with that. I liked it in the campaign because they were everywhere, ammo lasted forever, and they were a good jack of all trades weapons, you could take on elites with charged shots, and everyone else with bursts to the head. I’d always switch to using that when people complained about my pistol use.

For my ex, I probably did a couple grand worth of work to her place in labor. I had framed houses for two years when I was 19, it was really hard work, but I actually enjoyed it, and got paid well. I ended up doing all the cuts for the house, as I could make the cuts within a quarter millimeter of the measurement the foreman gave, I was at work every day on time, and I learned fast. I also didn’t smoke or drink on the job, if anyone here is familiar with construction work, they know about the rampant drug use. I kept all the tools in my trunk, because a crackhead would sell them, and I’d show up early and set everything up, boss would come in, drop the compressor, and we were ready to go. Of all the “s~~~” jobs I had in my 20s, that was honestly my favorite, I was outside all day, and the work put me in excellent shape.

Framing and renovation were really good skills to learn, I also bought a manual and a few tools for my first car, and did all my own vehicle work from then on, self taught, saved myself thousands over the years, I’d buy a car for a grand, fix a few things, and drive it for years. It helped learning what to look for too, so I didn’t get screwed buying a used car.

I really like you style bro – you’ll fit in fine here. We have great people on board and KM keeps things running like clockwork.

Man you must have been good tp do that on an X-box. Hate the controls. I’m a PC player – the Bungie port to PC of Halo Combat Evolved was the best FPS I have ever played to this day.

The pistol was mean. The M1 rifle was s~~~ but they fixed that in Halo 2. The best combo I used was Plasma Gun and Plama Pistol. These two would take down anything. Especially liked the overcharge on the pistol for killing Elites. In Halo 2 the rifle was just as good. I had many happy MGHOW hours on both.

I did not play other Halo or spinoffs like Reach as there was no PC versions. I hate Bungie for selling out to Microsoft on this game.

Anyway great to hear from a fellow Spartan and enjoy the site. Peace bro.

Yeah, I prefer PC, mainly play that. Grew up playing console as well. I build my own gaming PCs because it is cheaper, and you get better parts. I easily saved a grand with my current build over what Alienware wanted, Ibuypower, ect.

It’s a i5 6600k OC to 4GHz, 32GB DDR4 3600MHz, 980Ti OC 6GB, runs most games at 90-100 FPS Ultra at 1440p, whole build including monitor was right at $2,800. That’s a complete build, tower, everything. Obviously you save rebuilding with some old stuff, tower, monitor, ect, but I moved and wanted a really good PC, had budget systems most of my life. Last one was an AMD8350FX with 16GB RAM I built for 800, gave that to a vet friend when I moved.

Welcome bro. Thanks for your service!

Lots of minimalists here, or budding minimalists. IT goes hand in had with disconnecting from the matrix.

Look forward to hearing more from you.
