need wedding excuses

[lonestar77Participant 406]

As a true MGTOW, I despise weddings needless to say. I know I will never marry, but I need some good excuses on how to bail from my friend’s wedding. He already asked to be in his wedding and I stupidly said yes because he asked with his fat bitchy fiance present and the pressure was on. I’m such a idiot. Everything about weddings makes me sick to my stomach. Nothing to see but a bunch of drunk, sloppy, emotionally spent women out of control.  That grin the bride has on her stupid face the entire time is the worst of all. Not to mention it will probably be the last time I will see my friend before he disappears to the abyss of marriage.  A MGTOW going to a wedding is like Satan entering a Church. It just shouldn’t happen. So I ask all my brothers here, how do I get out of it but still remain friends with him? I have a feeling I’m f~~~ed on this one…

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me

What’s most important?  YOU.

Meet him (without her) for a beer, and tell him the truth (weddings make you sick), and you appreciate the offer to be in the wedding, but you can’t.

Whether he remains a friend or not is up to him.

XSDBS has a good point. what is most important to you?

you know i kinda felt the same way you do. Last year in June one of my best friends got married i did all i could as well as my other friend to try and sway him but he swallowed the blue pills and the bottle and wasnt coming back. honestly i didnt want to go it was going to be a f~~~ing headache and as you said awkward for a MGTOW being at a wedding. but i ended up going anyway i was also a groomsman so that was kinda weird too… but because i felt even if he is a blue piller from hell he’s still my friend and couldnt turn my back on him and i made sure i let him know my stance by cracking joking about his slavery. at that point all you can do is shake your head and laugh haha though i’ll admit the wedding for me personally was s~~~ the only thing that made it better was the OPEN BAR!!! where i found myself a seat and parked my ass right there and had drink after drink haha

so i guess you can say you can go and support your friend even though its something you disagree with wholeheartedly and may turn out to be even more s~~~ty for you if there isnt an open bar like i had or you can get with your friend and tell him in person you wont be going and why.

either way there is no right or wrong choice its what you want to do man and do it. i just thought id give you my experience if it helped any

I've killed worse than you on my way to real problems.

My advice. Just be straight up or do this do you him as a friend on Facebook???? This is what I do. At the beginning of spring each year I post a message that says don’t invite me to any wedding. I say I hate weddings and everyone I’ve been too. I hate being uncomfortable in a suit, in a hot humid church on a hot Saturday. I also say there’s is no benefit to get married and I’m not going endorse this. I post this message every year and I haven’t been invited to any wedding ever since I started doing this. Try it!

My best friend of +20 years called me up in 2010 and invited me to his wedding. He expected I could FLY there, pay for airfare, accommodation, new shoes, new suit + gift…. you know the deal.

Absolutely not. And why?? Because he will never celebrate my MGTOW life choice.
I didn’t say that out loud, though. This is what I said instead:
“Friends don’t let friends sign marriage contracts”.

After about 20 seconds of pure dumbfounded silence on the other end of the phone, he understood…. and I appended: “I can’t do it man. I can’t watch you do it, and I sure as s~~~ won’t PAY to watch you do it”.

Nobody is EVER going to celebrate your MGTOW life choice. Nobody will register at Tiffany’s and throw a party. Nobody will cross town to attend your “I’m not having a baby shower” (you should hold one annually) and bring you the Bellini baby basket filled with goodies. Nobody is going to FLY to where you live to celebrate your life choice or decision NOT to engage in that emotional masturbation ritual in front of 200 of your friends and family.

Now I don’t know about YOU, but that’s a f~~~ing good reason to tell him NO.

Save a Male and Stop A Wedding™ is an unregistered trademark of MGTOW.COM
If you don’t do it, we will. We will contact him and tell him “no” FOR you.

… OH an PS…..

Within 4 months after the wedding, his wife was f~~~ing a greasy unemployed musician on a stolen motorbike who had enough body piercings to hang a shower curtain. He was married for 4 months. Imagine how I felt after I found that out. Imagine how p~~~ed I would be if attended using my well-earned vacation days.

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

It’s so funny you post about this as I was thinking about the same thing.  I was invited to a friend of mine and his fiance’s wedding shower.  First thought: They have a registry.  Can’t they buy their own danged things?  I’m already struggling financially as is!  I can’t just go buying things for the “lovely couple” so I can fit into a crowd of “everyone else that brought gifts!”  This guy always had a white knight-ish attitude, even worse than myself when I was younger…now he, along with several of my other old “church friends” as I call them (I only ever knew them from church and rarely saw them outside of it) are all engaged.  It makes me want to attend all of these guys’ wedding showers just to say “why are you guys getting married?  Seriously?  Oh, so you can finally say you can have sex with them?  You’re willing to sacrifice everything financially, emotionally, and intellectually so you can have a little ‘physical intimacy’ with someone who has a very high chance of screwing you over, and a higher chance of doing so than you do to her?  Welllllp, have fun.”

Bang the bride to be..take pics..present to him before saying “I do”…save his life.

I remained friends with my freshman year roommate for quite a long time until he got married.  I was in grad school at the time and I was having difficulties with my research.  Each day, each hour I could spend on it was necessary in order to make progress, so I couldn’t just take a weekend off to watch him sign his freedom away.  If I remember correctly, I also bought tickets to a concert I wanted to go to and got them before he announced his intentions to engage in that foolishness.

 

He wasn’t pleased that I wasn’t there, though I think it was because I didn’t send a present.  That was nearly 34 years ago and I only saw him once during that time.  I finally got to meet the cupcake he married.  He was a mangina-in-training when we roomed together but I saw during our last meeting that she had finished the job.  She had him completely wrapped around her finger.

 

Better him than me.

Weddings are an opportunity for easy pump-and-dumps.  That’s all I see them as.  There’s nothing you can do for your friend, at least until the divorce comes, so why not use the event to your own best advantage?  And it’s a free meal, with cake.

That’s assuming it’s local.  As @keymaster  points out, if you have to pay to attend, it’s not worth it.  I don’t care how good the sex or the cake is, it’s not worth spending your own money on it.

lonestar77,

Is this really a matter of your own personal philosophy vs. your buddy getting married in the general sense, or is it really that you don’t support WHO he is marrying? Do some self-reflection on the root of your objection and when you’ve got it sorted out, give your friend the raw data.

Personally, I attend bachelor parties but not weddings. Simple numbers game. The vast majority of my friends who get married end up as servile little c~~~s, relegated to their basements while their wives and offspring run the house that he pays for. Not all of them, but we’re talking at least 90%. So anticipating the inevitable “I don’t want you hanging around with him anymore”, I view it as a living wake. I’d rather remember my friends as who they are how they want to be, rather than as some broken-spirited farm animal.

Tell him you have explosive diarrhea for the next six months.  You can thank me later…

HISTORY...learn from it, memorize it, DON'T repeat it...

[Mango IngawayParticipant 2264]

Personally, I’d go to the marriage “for teh lulz”. I’ve reached a point where this kind of blue pill bs makes me laugh my ass off, to be honest. I swear, when people start spewing some cheesy “till death (or my hypergamic desire for some richer guy with a bigger schlong) do us apart”, I have a darn hard time not pointing my finger at them and laughing like a madman.

It is a common failing of childhood to think that if one makes a hero out of a demon the demon will be satisfied.

I was drinking at a bar and showed up right after the wedding ceremony of my best friend’s first marriage. He was p~~~ed, but we stayed friends. His little cupcake turned out to be a rattlesnake, but I got to eat.

On his second marriage, he did not expect me to travel for it. I probably trained him on the first time.

I tried to make it to my non-feminist niece’s wedding and had car trouble. By the time I struggled back home to get my truck, I missed that wedding too. I got to eat at that one too.

There’s two excuses for you.

Well put. KeyMaster for the win, once again.

I’m not going to your wedding because I know at some point the minister is going to say something like, “If anyone has good reason why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace…”

And I just don’t think I’m going to be able to keep my mouth shut…:-P

Look, it's not my fault that tornado dropped a house on your sister. Now get back on your broom and get your ass out of here... and take your monkeys with you

[….Participant 305]

My nephew is getting married this summer. Not wanting to hurt my nephew, I told him I just couldn’t afford to attend , withe the travel,motel, boarding my dogs etc. Kinda the truth…it’s just money I don’t want to waste.( I don’t know if you can use that one but the money part might be understandable to him. )Perhaps I’ll attend the divorce celebration  (if it’s an open bar). In reality, I have no interest in spending all that money (not to mention the time and sitting through the ritual) just to attend the first step in a future divorce. If I want to witness a neutering, I’m sure  my Vet will let me watch one.

beg off anyway you have to.

I should plan one of these to get some reaction from my friends and family. It was funny to read but more so when I imagined their reaction.

 

I was bound to be misunderstood, and I laugh at those who misunderstand me. Kind mockery at the well intentioned, but unfettered cruelty towards those would be prison guards of my creative possibilities. This so as to learn as much from misunderstanding as from understanding. Taking pleasure in worthy opponents and making language fluid and flowing like a river yet pointed and precise as a dagger. Contradicts the socialistic purpose of language and makes for a wonderful linguistic dance, A verbal martial art with constant parries that hone the weapon that is the two edged sword of my mouth.

[KeymasterKeymaster]

Soulmans’s suggestion of explosive diarrhea for the next few months … LMAO.

Tell him you’re p~~~ing our your ass so bad, you could s~~~ through a screen door and not touch a wire.

That should do it.

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

Hey lonestar. CP24 just talked about wedding season and I just posted this to my Facebook profile. Incase if you thought I was being facetious, I’m as serious as a heart attack. I do this every year and never get any wedding invites! I’ve been on Facebook since 2007 and it works like a charm every year!

This is my face post I just posted:

Ok I thought I do this a bit early since they are talking about this on CP24 right now. It’s almost spring then it will be summer soon enough. Now since I added some new friends since last year, I usually say this. Those people who are getting married DO NOT INVITE ME!!!!! Yes I’m yelling in caps. I hate weddings and marriage. I hate being hot in a suit for over 8 hours in the summer in a non-air conditioned church on a Saturday when I could be doing other things. I’ve hated every wedding I’ve been too due to the fact I’m not a suit and tie guy. The only pants I wear are jeans, cargo pants, and track pants. And I only wear running shoes and biker boots or shoes. I’m putting this disclaimer out there since I do allow public post now. Oh and for those whose feeling may be hurt that I said I hated your wedding get over it. LOL…… I don’t hate you but you’re attempt the put me in a box for 8 plus hours made me feel very uncomfortable. Needless to say certain people won’t get my Mustang for their act of treason. Or my Star Wars figure collection. Or my wrestling figure collection. Let’s face it I have a lot of cool stuff. Some of these people already have 2 strikes Sheldon style.  Oh and those who didn’t invite to your past wedding, your act of benevolence will be rewarded!  Those who invited me and expected me to come, you’re out of luck. No Star Wars figures for you in soup nazi tone! I will post this again probably in 2 months. Thank you and this has been a live voice!
