Proving Yourself

[Lone Sea VoyagerParticipant 506]

A lot of average men like to “prove themselves” to people, as in act out in a certain way in front of people in order to convince everyone that they are something. It’s a huge trend that has going on for awhile, and men who do this do not realize the pitfalls of what they are doing. To put it simply, they are the male equivalent to the female narcissist who likes to post her selfies all the time to garner likes. It’s madness. Unfortunately, many young MGTOWs are vulnerable to this since they can be more angry and are more set on “proving to everyone” that they don’t give a f~~~, which is a oxymoron in itself. If you are a man of MGTOW, make sure that you are NOT trying to do this, because it negates the point of being a MGHOW in the first place!

DO NOT try to “prove” to people that you don’t care, just do it naturally!
DO NOT try to act tough to convince everyone you are, just do it naturally!
BE A MGTOW regardless if anyone is watching you!

That is what it really means to be a man, not doing something because of the opinions of people, but because you want to regardless of what anyone besides you thinks.

The media is set on pushing the message on men that you have to “prove yourself” to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Prove your this, prove your that, etc. Who cares?? If you are those things, why do you need to prove anything at all? And why do you care what they think? Remember that the thoughts of people don’t change reality about you one bit, unless you allow it.

How tired must the average Joe be from trying to prove himself everywhere he goes, when he could just stop worrying about this non-trivial issue and prove it without effort by just naturally doing everything, instead of coming off as an insecure f~~~wit.

Do not fall for this trap. In the end, you become massively insecure once you become set on “proving yourself” to others. MGTOWs do not care about the opinions of others, and because of that, they do not need to prove themselves to anyone but themselves. If you are worried about proving that you are a MGTOW to other people, then you should re-evaluate your priorities.

“Prove them wrong.”, “Prove yourself.”, etc.

Don’t worry about it. If you are a MGHOW, then you are a MGHOW regardless of what any person says!

Average being the key word here. Top Gun post Sir.

Take a look at some motivation videos and products. It’s all centered around “proving yourself”.
Insecurity in a clever disguise as “masculinity”.

Awesome post Lone Sea Voyager! The only person a man should attempt to prove something to is the man himself to himself! Pushing our own limitations, bettering ourselves as a challenge while no one around is aware of this!
Attempting to show off doesn’t better oneself in fact it’s quite the opposite!

Great post. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Ever notice the real badasses that have done some crazy s~~~ never brag or talk about it?

As soon as some douchebag starts bragging I walk away – means he’s a f~~~ing poser.

They proved themselves by their virtues, not trying to convince people because “people might think bad about me!”. And it took little to no effort because all they had to do was just be themselves, which is what hardly anyone does anymore since they often put out a fake persona to impress people who don’t even know them.

Nothing is accomplished that way except for making yourself more insecure and becoming more dependent on others.

You obviously know who is so set on getting social acceptance. It’s poetic almost.

Great post!

When you try to prove something to people who dont care, guess what? You just proved that YOU CARE.

Keep in mind what the hive purpose of a man proving himself serves.

Nearly every aspect of hive life has been carefully engineered for centuries as ways for guys to prove themselves. You are constantly being monitored and ranked by women.

I added an extra plate to my deadlift today, been working on that for 11 months. Nobody but me saw it. I proved it to the only person that matters, me.

Once you prove yourself, everyone says,”I forgot, what have you done for me lately?”
