Seeking resources to start a MGTOW support group locally

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

I called the United Way 211 info line to see about trying to get support for myself. I discussed my situation, and the person on the other end suggested I start a support group for men in my boat. Consider this a MGTOW support group where I am.

Anyone know any resources, etc… that may be of value to starting one? I would be up for having as much help as I can. This way I can also do things of value, and get out of the dumps and DO more, and THINK less on things.

Any input would be helpful.

We are almost 10,000 mgtow now. I think starting to combine our energy and resources to create support groups for men is a great idea. I also think some type of mgtow items that can be sold to fellow mgtows where 100% of profits go to help other men would be a great idea. In terms of the practicalities of setting up such a group you might be able to get some free advice on setting up a charity. Not sure what issues you are looking to address, but women get all the support in the world so you could always copy some of what they do but geared towards men.

I do think any specifics would be best left to the private forum when it comes on line though. We know how much hate is out there towards charity to other men and there are plenty of lurkers who are sociopathic and dont like the idea of men being helped. I’m up for discussing ideas. We may all live in different geographical areas but we may be able to create a virtual support site or something and that may get to the largest number of men. We could then signpost them to other men’s organisations that do offer support for men i.e. I know a few male domestic violence charities and a parenting charity we could signpost men to. That way we don’t have to learn all the skills and we can be an umbrella organisation as we grow.

Hell, give them the support of knowledge and guys who have been in the same boat. Send em here. Hell, I can’t tell you how much good just being on here has done me, I’ll donate whatever I can to you guys at any rate, but I don’t think men will ever get the support groups they need like “poor fragile pretty women” do.

I would definitely be down to discuss this further once we have more of a private area to do so. Meetup.com is a great tool to start a local get together for just about anything but there isn’t really any privacy involved. And like machiavelli mentioned we all know how these feminists would love to destroy anything that may actually benefit a man. But if you’re really looking to just lay some ground work, that’d be somewhere to start.

Keymaster is the website guru. This website is amazing. If we could put some resources up here in a private area and a way to arrange meets or have it as a separate site that might work well. I think it would be good if keymaster would like to give a steer if there is any particular way he would like to achieve this as this is his site after all and working together as a team with a common aim of helping other men is the best way to go I think.

It’s nice to see us getting our heads together to help other men. I think this is great. Proud of all the guys here.

Definitely keep specifics out of it for now. And while were on that subject f**k off lurkers.

Keep low key guy’s until more security is in place.

It’s not just tuna that lurks but also media.

When things are safe we will definitely talk further.

For now STEALTH

Agreed. (I agree a lot with ILiveAgain.) Give them the gift of knowledge, guide them to the wisdom of understanding. Material contributions should wait until BBC, et al, are not breathing down the necks of those who are easily influenced by mass media.

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

In just reading up to this point I’d have to agree with ILA.. if a private portions of the site is going up soon, then I’d def wait for that. Posting something here is just far too wreckless. Remember, where there is progress there is also those attempting to mitigate it. We’ve seen this over the last few months with the media, as well as dirty-catfish skulking around the site. Of course, that’s just my simple opinon.

Funny, isn't it? How women thrive on a mans time, attention and resources, while simultaneously telling him he isn't enough...

Support group is a great idea. So are other ways to spread mgtow. But guess what? The time is not right. You can’t rush the growth of a beautiful tree. Mgtow is the tree and men are the roots. Women going nuts is the water and websites/youtube videos are the sunlight. Let the tree bear fruit than we make pick from it and eat. For now go stealth and just sow seeds. Our time is coming.

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.

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

For myself, I am just trying to find a few guys who are in the same boat I am to bounce ideas off of, and brainstorm, and also have someone to listen. The road of going alone will sometimes cause the ideas to run dry, so I figured I would see if there were any ideas. I may not even use “MGTOW” as the label of the support group, just guys who aren’t married, or who are in astranged marriages on their way to divorce (I see this as MGTOW), and no women at the meetings. I saw a few Meetup groups, and at least one had at least one woman as a member. It does look like a long haul thing, so I would be up for whatever help I can get, in addition to sharing what I find.

I’m with ILA.

My town has thousands of feminists from the damn art college that would descend upon any publicly proclaimed MGTOWs like a swarm of locusts. Vicious bitter harpies they are with an unreceptive media in tow . I live in the coastal area which is more conservative, but my city is a weird mix of conservatives and vicious liberals unlike the rest of the South that tends to be conservative. I pretty much keep my mouth shut unless I know I’m in a safe place.

I’ve found even discussing simple white knighting is over the heads of most men. My alpha pussy addict friend who has a notch count above reproach thinks it’s humorous that he has two friends that speak of red pills.

Our numbers are growing organically. However, two things are required to become MGTOW. First, one must have the temperament to tell the herd to f~~~ itself. Second, one must have some trials and tribulations that bring out the MGHOW. Most men will fail at point one.

Now, if you can find a group of like minded men. I’d keep it on the down low. Do not go public whatever you do. Do not contact the media. I think you need to network, but MGTOW is a very personal thing. The concept itself is so alien. Created by blowback froom repression of men by the gynocratic and central banking cartels more and more men are going MGTOW.

I do have a real MGHOW friend though.

I’m not sure physically meeting would be that safe, to be honest. Online chats/video chats and whatnot may be a better bet. There was a group of men who met at a university to discuss Male Suicide and were hounded by feminists to the point where fire alarms were pulled in order to disrupt the meeting. The police did nothing, despite laws being broken. Videos all over YouTube about it, with that red-headed feminits screaming “shut the f~~~ up” and “patriarchy” over and over again.

Its just not worth it at the point, in my opinion, unless you host at a private residence which carries its own set of dangers.

However, there are several MeetUps for single fathers, bachelors, and divorce support groups. Yes, some of them have female members, but that doesn’t mean they show up to meetings. The prepper meetup group I belong to has several hundred members, but only a dozen or so show up to the various monthly meetings.

But you know where the real discussions happen? Afterwards at the local diner. You gravitate towards a few folks who share your point of view and ask if they wanna grab a bite to eat or a cup of coffee. Next thing you know there’s 4-5 of you and you can set up something private amongst yourselves.

If there’s not one in your area, you could always start a MeetUp group for single men or male divorce support, or male domestic abuse survivors. It doesn’t need to be MGTOW-specific. I’d avoid using MRM as well unless you want to invite scrutiny, unless you’re a MRM activist as well.

Its sad that men who want to remain single and would like some sort of support system (without taxpayer funding) in place need to worry about these things. Unfortunately, that’s where things are.

Where I am, meetup groups go to die. Due to commuting distance people do to get to jobs that pay enough, anything after work suffers. This is part of the challenge involved with things, and why I see more low key. I know you need a minimum of 4-6 regulars as a starting point, and that is a kicker. Thing about MGTOW, is I am sure that men doing this usually do a lot of lone wolf, so it is hard to have this happen. I keep hearing how there is a presumption for social reasons that MGTOW want to meet, but I see it has to be more than just someone to hang out. The ability to enjoy one’s freedom, ends up being more alluring than wanting to meet others. But I do press on here. I do see the MGTOW meetups have had not so good turnout (the LA one didn’t go well). My focus is on support, and being able to have the group do things of value. I see meeting to just try to spread the MGTOW message like it is a religion, isn’t going to go anywhere. And that isn’t my way. My way is different.

Support in what way? I mean, how do you plan to support something that isn’t a movement, isn’t organized, and has no real desire to be organized?

What, exactly, are you trying to support? Men? Just men in general? Being single? Divorced men discussion groups?

Maybe I’m not clear on what you’re trying to accomplish, but in some ways it seems more geared towards a MRM-type thing, not necessarily a MGTOW thing.

Put another way, if I was living in the same town as you, what would you say to me that would make me interested in meeting up? What would you plan to do if such a meeting were to occur?

What would you offer to an individual going his own path that he can’t find inside himself?

I need to figure this out. I know I have a ton of challenges in life I need to work out, and going it solo can end up providing challenges, beyond the usual. Ideas I had were to be able to get out of the rat race, managing loneliness and other parts of a lack of connecting, managing depression and purposelessness, and so on.

What you said about being interested in meeting up is exactly one of the barriers I can see MGTOW having problems meeting off the Net, or working together.

The support I have is for men who aren’t married, or maybe married, but on the way to divorce.

We have a mens only support group in my city. It is an hour long and you are allowed to talk about anything, good or bad. Most men talk about drug, alcohol and gambling addictions. Some of them talk about sex addictions. Some talk about death, divorce and other s~~~.

I suggest you search around on the internet or ask people in person. Go to an AA meeting. Lots of those guys go to other meetings to.

If your into that whole church thing, you could probably find some info there.

Hell, join a mens only sports team.

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

What I see is single’s support groups, and also one for men. I don’t see one for unmarried men particularly. I was seeing if something could be done there.
