My question is should I tell him about mgtow? Now before you give me hate let me tell you why I haven’t told him yet.

For me I was doing a lot of research on women and wanted to find a community that would share similar interests. The product of that time spent was finding the MGTOW philosophy. The reason I haven’t told him about it is because I think if he was driven enough to find a community like this it would almost be like his rite of passage.

Likewise I want to expand the community and grow this site. (By the way I’m not selfish; I’m just not quite sure what to do…”

Any thoughts? Opinions?

If he’s sensible he will then go investigate each ….. and kick your door down for the red one 😀

There is something to be said about internalizing MGTOW. It’s like understanding the punchline to a joke that others don’t get. Once you have to explain it, it’s just not funny anymore. Even you admit that the idea wasn’t “sold” to you. It was very much a calling, and it’s really the only way it works. Men arrive at MGTOW organically.

It’s not necessary to mention “MGTOW” specifically – or explain it – but to SHOW it.
Whether you intend it or not, MGTOW will come out in you speech patterns, body language, walking pace, attitude, and even posture.

I have a blue pill friend who makes me wanna puke in the way he runs after girls, drops what he is doing to responds to a text, and showers them in compliments for no reason . It’s disgusting – and embarrassing – especially when we’re in a group. Now I have never used the letters “MGTOW” in any of my conversations with him, but he is aware of my general stance. I slap him senseless when we might be eating somewhere, and he will stop mid-sentence and answer his phone like his girlfriend keeps him on the shortest leash.

It drives him CRAZY that I don’t answer a text from him in under 3 minutes. He goes out of his mind – just like a chick. “why are you ignoring me?”. It’s pathetic. I have to explain to this idiot that my phone is not a colostomy bag like it is with him. I can’t say “MGTOW, man. Google it.” because that will do him no good. All he would see is the same s~~~ women see “oh it’s just a bunch of guys bitching about women on the internet”.

No.

“It’s a bunch of guys who would never be caught dead doing what YOU’RE doing”. But when he told me he is getting married (in California no less!), he already knew my reaction. He said “married”….. I heard “murdered”. He knew it already that I would think it’s the WORST mistake he could make with his life…. JUST from being around me and understanding my general attitude.

It isn’t 5 letters. It’s an entire way of life. It’s going grocery shopping on a Wednesday evening at 10PM instead of a Saturday morning at 10 AM when everyone else is doing it. It’s NOT taking long weekends when everyone else does, and taking a vacation when nobody else does. MGTOW is going to a movie on Monday night at 11PM being the only person in a totally empty theatre all to yourself…… instead of standing and waiting in line ups on a Friday evening at 7. It translates to every facet of your life.

You can’t “explain” that to anyone, or sell them the idea.
Just DO it, and let them notice.

It’s just a matter of time before he signs up here after the divorce.
I know his girlfriend. She thinks I’m hilarious, and knows he’s whipped beyond belief.
Tick tock. Tick tock.

Reason:

1). It can sound as something religious/political imho. You or him don’t even need to say it’s mgtow, to just do your thing and be cautious OR avoid relationships. Thats why it’s so awesome, it’s not an Agenda to be pushed on.

But It can look like one at a first glance, especially for people who are still in to social/female relationships etc. Let people discover what it is for themselves. They can know there is ALWAYS more then one choice, of course, but they should make one themselves.

2). Yes, the rite of passage, the feeling of getting to understand yourself and discover things yourself is great. When it feels like your idea.

Opposite of that is being forced/told about a thing. Not by intention of course, we want to help.

Honestly: I don’t know 100%. I support my friends, I linked this website’s threads to them, and left it at that.

I share MY thoughts with them when its needed. We are in when we have the time, and party. Overall, mistakes are still there for them to make and learn from, sadly, that’s the freedom of it.

I am there to support them before/when/after s~~~ hits the fan. Of course, better if it doesn’t. Even before I discovered the website.

What they do know – is my overall stance on avoiding the relationships 100% and they are completely cool with it and understand it.

People generally have to be able to see it for themselves before they can accept it. I’ve tried to explain it to some of my friends and since they don’t get it, they say this site is full of men who “hate women”.

Why…

Offer him the red pill. He will either take it or not. Either way, do not rub his nose in it. He will only open his eyes when he is ready to see. In other words, I agree with the previous posts.

I even post before reading the whole thread and only read OP. And then I post a 200+ word piece. /facepalm

You can spread mgtow around the web.

I’ve found it VERY effective – in comment sections etc. – not to go on in a multitude of paragraphs, but just drop five letters:

“MGTOW”.

Period.

That’s it. In response to these endless gynocentric articles or rants about how there are no men left, or “Men are stupid”, or “15 reasons to date a single mother”… don’t even bother writing a sentence. Just drop “MGTOW” and the eye will go straight to it.

So I’v read forums for weeks before joining.
