I’m a new member but an old guy….age 71 so I can add some prespective from my past. Women have changed tremendously in the last 50 years and expotentially so in the last 20 years. Much of this change, maybe most of it, comes from the enormous increase in the standard of living we have now. Women were more vulnerable to the appeal of increased wealth than men. For example, store shelves are nowadays stocked with items designed and packaged to sell to women. This was not true in the 1940s and 50s. Department store items then were more mundane and malls hardly existed. The women’s movement just provided direct income to women who would run straight to the mall paycheck in hand. The idea that additonal family income was used to pay the bills and feed the kids is complete nonsense.

Young girls and women of the 1950 era were mostly interested in home and children. You can see that reflected in all aspects of life and culture from that era. Women then had not seen much TV. Hell, TV hardly existed before 1950.

I was first married at age 25. Divorced at age 37. Gained custody of a preadolecent handicapped female child. I was told this was a rarity. My wife was good at first but she became vulnerable to media nonsense like the Phil Donohue show. My ex would recite lines directly from TV such as “male chauvinist pig” and had no sense of pause about labeling me as a pig. Needless to say this led to the end of our marriage. I wonder how many marriages were ruined by tv shows that poisoned minds. It still amazes me today the depth and strength of the grip by nonstake holders over women’s pcyche. My god, are halftime ads now more significant to fans than the football game?

I remained single for about 7 years. I stuck to the idea that a happy marriage to a good woman was possible. I tried all the conventional things, eg women at work, dating services, casual encounters, etc. Toward the end of the 7 years it became clear that my idea of a suitable woman no longer existed. Most of’em I met were suspicious, had too much self esteem, expected lots but offered little, were overly concerned about their “careers”, usually conveyed in a whiney monotone. I had 15 years of professional experience and a MBA from a top school but all I had was a “job”. I was well off but gold diggers are easy to spot.

Anyway I thought it might be possible to find a woman unaffected by media/shopping/brainless/femnist/blame others rain cloud that so infected the women I knew. I began writing overseas and soon found what was to become now my wife of 27 years. It’s worked our great for me. But I’d say you need to be on guard ready to challenge what may seem appealing to a new non American wife all too ready to accept foolishness. Many foreign women learn to see the spoiled and abusive nature of American women and if properly informed can be your best ally. Fortunately my wife was among them.

Anyway I could write books about some of the ideas and experirnces above. The truth of it all is that the best of the old life is still possible in limited circumstances. Of course going you own way is certainly a good option, but be aware many of the lessons of mgtow life can be useful even if you do remarry. I think I’m living proof.
Cheers, Steve

Appreciate your intro very much, and I nodded in agreement about the last 20 years.

The misandry bubble seemed to balloon almost immediately after Donahue with Oprah and the like – particularly in the mid-90s, so your timing is bang-on accurate.

be aware many of the lessons of mgtow life can be useful even if you do remarry. I think I’m living proof.

Our “MGHOW of the day” (on the homepage) is married and would agree with you.
What he had to say is completely in sync.

Big thanks and wish you every success.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Women betray their own kind. An older woman who rode a bunch of c~~~s through her 20s, said “no” to the nice guys, and waited until she was 36 and her eggs started drying up to try and secure herself a husband ….. should be pulling every 14-year-old girl by the pigtails and telling them to “be nice to the boys who pay attention to you”.

When a older man says “shut up and listen”, I know I’m about to learn something of value. When a woman does that, she is teaching women’s studies, falsely programming and polluting as many young female minds as possible so they end up as miserable as she is. A woman who tells feminists “screw you, I hate football, I love being a mother and a wife, and enjoy bringing warmth to my husband and family” …. is pouring salt & vinegar on every feminist wound.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

When you were younger did you even predict things would turn out this way or did you think it would never happen? Feel free to share more of you wisdom and stories with us šŸ™‚
