The perks of being Mgtow

[RennieParticipant]

[FermatParticipant 3478]

NO ONE IS JUDGING/NAGGING/CRITICIZING ME! I just made spaghetti and vegetables for myself. The ex would have judged the hell of my cooking.

I also didn’t make my bed today. I usually do, but today was busy. Guess what? The world DIDN’T end!

My phone is silent. No constant vibrating every night. I can finally go to bed at a reasonable time. Oh and when I sleep, and there’s a little drool or a loud snore, no one gets annoyed at me. It’s a miracle.

I’m listening to music right now that would likely get me laughed at by a female. “Fermat, why do listen to X, its so Y, you should really be listening to Z”. None of that nonsense anymore. I can blast my tunes and there’s no shame. Only peace of mind.

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.

Fortnight pay into our joint account and a hundred or two a fortnight I was ‘allowed’ to spend, which also had to cover petrol, meals out or store-bought meals during my weekday lunchbreak. Yes, very blue-pill I know, but very common arrangement from my discussions with those unfortunate men who are still married. Many women think a marriage contract gives them automatic control of the purse strings.

Punishment would be her going off in a huff or the silent treatment (which was actually a reward by the end). And yet I was expected to bite my lip about how much she spent on hair salons, travel, clothes, alcohol, taxi fares to party with her friends while she contributed f~~~-all to the mortgage. A good dose of Red Pill ensures that never happens again.

Hmmm….

Let’s see. Things that have not been said to, or screamed in my face since my divorce in 2003:

I’m not haaaaaaapy… (her happiness became my responsibility, apparently)
I want a baby, Goddammit!! (yeah, that’s an actual quote…from an unemployed woman)
I KNOW you’re f~~~ing around on me! (I could prove that I wasn’t)
All the proof in the world doesn’t prove anything! (when I showed her the proof)
All men cheat! (when a marriage counselor asked her why she didn’t trust me)

The blue ribbon winner:
I’m going to burn your medical degree! (screamed in my face in my own home by a person living there rent free)

Other things that have been absent from my life since my divorce:
Police at my door…
Repo’ men in my driveway…
Lawyers on the phone…
Collection agents in my mailbox… (all looking for my deadbeat spouse. My credit score is 810)
Locksmiths at my door…
The cloud of potpourri in my bathroom… (How I loathe the smell of that crap to this day!)
Oprah and Dr Phil on my tv EVERY. F~~~ING. DAY.
100s of dollars in charges on my credit card to the psychic hotline network (to find out if I was cheating on her-see above)

I don’t need any prizes for being mgtow, though I have collected quite a few. If the only result of going mgtow was the removal of all the negatives from being married, it would still have been the best decision I ever made.

But as I look around at my life, there is no single perk that sticks out so much as there is just this whole collection of a hundred different small decisions from the home I live in, the car I drive, toys I own, dishes, guns, soap, music, vacations, food, furniture, clothes, movies I watch, landscaping in the yard, money management strategies and the money that results from them… ALL exactly custom tailored to be for MY maximum benefit.

Never asked permission. Never compelled to compromise. Never had to apologize.

Never accused. Never insulted. Never threatened again…

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

Yeah that’s my favorite. Like her happiness is my cardio.

I admit I laughed here.

The perks of being Mgtow

I’m very conscious of what I am grateful for and I wouldn’t call them perks. They are essentials. Using Brain Pilot’s examples, I wouldn’t consider NOT getting nagged, harassed, cajoled, shouted at , and accused of s~~~ I never even did…… “PERKS”.

• I don’t think it’s “awesome” that she couldn’t rob me in divorce
• It’s not “fantastic” that a woman didn’t put me in jail.
• I’m not “celebrating” not writing a monthly check for 18 years.

PS…. Next week, I’m having an “I’m not having a baby” shower , and you’re all in invited.

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

[Back in BlackParticipant 1732]

There are so many great things about going MOW, but to me nothing beats having a silent house. No more incessant babbling, non-stop ramblings or stream of conscience about absolutely nothing; that i would be required to listen to and pay attention to because everything that comes out of her mouth is so f~~~ing important (to her).

After being married to that for 10 nearly 10 years I love nothing more than waking up, makin a strong coffee and sitting quietly and peacefully on the porch while I drink away.
Nothing beats the peace and quiet for me.

"Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place.” Quote from Arthur Shopenhauer, 17th century philosopher

[BrainPilotParticipant 7640]

yeah, I figured I’d take a bit o laughing at the “Mistress Cleo Psychic Hotline Network” charges. If I EVER were to have any second thought at all about wether or not I made the right decision to bail from that marriage, reminding myself of that little incident would stop it. When I presented proof that it would be impossible for me to be cheating on her, her response that ‘all the proof in the world doesn’t prove anything’ seemed like a completely irrational brain fart at the time. Later, I realized that the reason that all the documentation of every dollar I’d earned or spent, every call I’d made or received, and all the time I spent out of the house “didn’t prove anything…” was because Mistress Cleo’s Psychic Hotline Network must have confirmed I was cheating on her…

Few things in my life make me p~~~ed off and laugh at the same time, but that was one of them.

The ‘not having a baby’ shower is the best possible idea for any real world mgtow gathering, if there ever is one.

and that morning coffee in total silence is an experience no married man can get without either asking permission, or forgiveness…

The perk I have enjoyed the most is not having someone undermine everything I try to do. Like paying off a credit card only to find it maxed out again and the constant fixing of emotional problems that never really existed.

I love living alone!

The radio is going off way too loud for any human roommates. My roommate is a dog, and it doesn’t seem to mind.

I can stomp outdoors and do some amateur astronomy. No one objects. Although, the dog often wants to come along.

I can eat, drink, attire myself, in any way I please.

If a robot came on the market which could do my housework, I’d buy it. Until then, I’m happy to fend for myself.

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

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9544]

If having a wife or girlfriend is anything like having a mother, aunt or female teenage cousin, I prefer living alone. I never got involved in the female species in the first place and thanks to my female relatives and some other real world examples, I refuse to live that way.

Here are my perks for going the MGTOW route:
1 My money (however I comes in) is MINE, and I’m free to do what the frog ever with it.
2 I can design my bedroom to be in part the man cave of my dreams; blue SEGA neon sign, old license plates on the wall, Coors Light bar mirror on the wall, Conan sword on the wall, TRUMP yard sign on the wall, homemade Umbrella logo in one of my double windows, Coors Light flag in the other side of my double window, NY pre-9/11 skyline picture on the wall, Star Wars FX lightsabers on the wall above the double window, computer, HDTV, 7.2 surround sound, PS3 with all my Resident Evil games, SPEED LIMIT 45 road sign on the wall, Resident Evil T-shirts on the wall, turn left intersection diamond street sign on the wall, MAN CAVE ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK tin sign on the wall above the closet, BUILT FORD TOUGH sign over door, Leon S. Kennedy police costume on the wall, blue neon Pontiac clock on the wall. You get the idea, it’s man décor.
3 Not being nagged or guilted into doing something I don’t want to
4 I sleep whenever I want to, even if it’s for over 12 hours a day
5 I hang with the fellas whenever we can
6 I go to the 24/7 gym whenever I want to, and I work what I want to workout
7 I listen to my music as loud and as much as I want to
8 Not feeling embarrassed about the things I identify my manliness with
9 Fart and burp as nasty as I want
10 I can watch downloaded internet porn videos and capture images off of chat sites using the Print Scrn key
11 I bike ride shirtless from May to October
12 I can walk around shirtless around the house
13 I have my own bathroom and shower
14 Speaking of which, I can bathe as often or not as I want
15 I can play Resident Evil whenever I want
16 No pink, red or white in my life; those are Valentine colors
17 Man movies, FOX News as much as I want
18 NO Lifetime, Oxygen Channels
19 Not being asked if this [something] makes me look fat and ugly
20 Not having to pay for her ass

Perks about being part of this site:
1 I can talk man talk; tech, fitness, men’s health, man movies/shows
2 I get and give advice on how to better my life
3 Unlike YouTube and IMDb, I don’t get trollers here, except for 2 and one of them isn’t around much anymore
4 People here are friendly
5 Men help men out better their lives (same with #2)
6 Men sharing things they’re interested about; movies, music, politics, things to make women look like bungling fools
7 This site makes me feel like I’m part of a brotherhood, and a site men are united. It’s a site that treats men like civilized human beings
8 This site gave me more examples of women behavior and women lifestyles I didn’t know without living it myself
9 The men here have the same common interests as myself when it comes to politics, fitness, goals, ways of making money, health, preparing a manly meal, and anti-women relationships, and more
10 No one here bashes me for being autistic with Asperger’s Syndrome, and being unemployed long-term. I wish I had MGTOW like people growing up, because I was one of those types who got picked on a lot and I still do by my bitch of an aunt and her well-provided teenage brats!

This site makes me feel like I’m part of a brotherhood.

Had A pOF date last night or what she may have called it; straight boredom. In the end without asking for anything sexual she asked to show me her dick sucking skills and I gave her the okay. She emptied the sac and had the nerve to act like she was aggrivated and cranky (after feeding her McDonald’s an hour earlier). I guess she felt that her giving me a blow job was a privelage. I dropped the heffa home and went home and had a great sleep.

[BritGHOWParticipant 2566]

I could lump all the perks of being MGTOW into a single word, sovereignty.

I’ve said it before, Being MGTOW gives me (near) complete control over my own destiny, provided I remain within the limits of the law I am able to do pretty much anything I want, without the need to seek anyone’s permission or approval but my own, that freedom is not something you can put a price on.

No compromises, no Xmas dinners with boring in laws, no weddings , christenings …

Is there more of a wasted day than a christening ?

No driving home thinking we are off to Vegas tomorrow , but two week with her 24/7 f~~~ that.

[Mr. CrowleyParticipant 384]

I would argue a perks would be something like this forum.

Paraphrasing what Keymaster said, our god given unalienable rights aren’t and should not be considered a ‘perk’

But communication with others who have the same mindset from around the world in an intelligent and thought provoking manner is a great perk! Completely agree with residentevil and frostbyte.

Friday, Getting home, firing my PC on my 50 inch Plasma and putting on my expensive audio setup to spend 3+ hours on gaming, music or movies.

Then, saturday, wake upt at 6 am, clean my home in 2 hours, buy the stuff I want to eat that day, throw out the garbage, and leave something cooking for my lunch.

Its 9-10 am now. Now I get to do some exercise, and I get ready to play my favorite game: Starcraft Broodwar.
I play for a few hours, then decide Id like a beer and I go out to get myself a beer (or 5).
I get home, check the lunch cooking, and read a bit about economics, math or do some market models.

I eat lunch watching something interesting on youtube and then I get ready to mod Morrowind for the 5th time.
I start playing morrowind, spend 7 hours just in the first town reading everything, talking to every NPC in there.

Since its been such a hard day, I should rest on Sunday: Time to go to a store and look for a cheap old movie that I loved my childhood.

I stream some Broodwar and I get ready for a new week at work.

Next weekend, I might do something different or not.

NOW, what are the perks of being a MGTOW you ask?
Easy: Read the entire thing again, this time change what you dont like for something you do like. Thats your MGTOW.
