Hello everyone,
I’ve been going MGTOW for about a year and a half now, but it’s just now that I’m finally starting to want to get my story out there. As the title implies, I am an Arab American who’s been born and raised in the United States. Although I was raised Christian, I have been an Atheist since I was 15 years old. The reason for my story is because I want people to know about the Middle Eastern culture, and how oppressive and destructive it is for men. People talk much about how bad it is for women, but I assure everyone, that it’s ten fold times worse for men. The Arab culture is all about men working like dogs to support their wives and their families while their wives go on vacation and go on day spas with their friends and relatives, and the man is expected to pay for all of it. Arab women are raised to be beautiful so that they could find a rich man, and men are told as children that if they don’t become a doctor or a lawyer, then they are not men and will never find anyone to marry them. Needless to say, this is how I was raised, for my parents told me that no matter what, I have to become a lawyer or a doctor if I ever want to be called a man by people in my community.
About myself, I am in my late 20’s and I have a Bachelor’s and 2 Master’s degrees, and I received my education from 1st-tier universities. Needless to say, I am very well educated for my age and I have accomplished much, and I paid for my entire education myself, for my parents told me that I’m not a man unless I pay for everything myself. There were days in middle and high school where I went hungry for the entire day because my Mom told me that I’m a man, and I need to work if I want to eat, and she wouldn’t give me any money lunch money. Keep in mind that I was in my early teens at this point. Anyways, I have dated dozens of girls in my life, and it never worked out (especially after college) with any of them because I wasn’t “rich enough” for them, especially from the Arab girls that I dated. Every Arab girl told me that I wasn’t good enough for her because I didn’t have everything ready for them, like the house, the cars, the career, and everything else women want in a marriage, even though I was still a student. One Arab girl I dated for a year only dated me because I was “fun to hang out with,” yet she left me when her Mom found a man for her to marry, and he was 20 years older than her and was fat, bald and very unattractive, yet she decided to marry him because he’s very wealthy and the following month, they had their engagement party. She only met him once before the engagement party. I was quite upset and depressed after this. It was after years of this kind of torture that I decided for myself that I would never date any woman every again, and certainly not marry anyone either. My parents think of me as a failure, even though I’m quite successful for my age (and I have started my own business last year), just because I don’t want to get married. They even tried to get me to marry my first cousin! Cousin marriages are also very common in the Middle Eastern culture. Anyways, my Mom tells all her sisters and friends about how disappointed she is in me, and everyone is trying their hardest to get me to get married. They don’t understand, and I doubt they ever will. I’m the only Arab that I know who’s decided to take this path in life (and I know literally thousands of Arabs), and no one in my community even tries to understand why I decided to take this path. What a destructive and incredibly unreasonable culture this is.
Anyways, I just wanted everyone to be aware of how oppressed Arab men are, for they all feel the same pain that I did, yet they are all too weak to leave the culture and go on their own, as that is how they were raised. Taking the red pill was hard for me, but breaking free of my indoctrination was the most liberating feeling I have ever felt in my entire life, and I will continue to encourage those in my community to break free of their indoctrination and leave this destructive culture once and for all.
