Those happy moments in life

[Bestieboy666Participant 2358]

I’ve been moving house over the last few weeks. While doing this I’ve come across loads of old junk and photos and it got me remembering all sorts of things over the last 35 years as an adult.
I found myself remembering nights out and holidays with my friends, good times, good company and a sense of empathy and kindness. Many friends from my late teens / early twenties are now memories as we all moved on in life, but I will never forget those great times we all used to have.
Girlfriends and relationships. Now this is odd. I know I’ve been single now for fifteen years, however for twenty years (15-35) I did have four live-in long term relationships and many other shorter affairs. For the life of me I can’t remember a single happy moment with any of them! There must of been at some point, the rosy glow period for example but I just can’t recall anything great. Have I conditioned myself so thoroughly that I have managed to wipe all those fond memories away? Were they even there in reality to start with? I can only remember the daily grind of a relationship, a sort of duty to be perfect solely for them. Why? Why did I bother? Why was I so damned stupid back in those days?
If after fifty years of life you can’t remember one bloody good thing about a relationship then it’s a bloody good thing I don’t waste my happiness with them anymore.
I actually feel quite smug I did eventually learn all those years ago. More importantly to the younger MGTOW out there, who have those bad days sometimes, I have a lot of happy moments in life now, a kind of contentedness that blocks out the worst part of society. Stick with it guys.

Women are so bad, if they changed the law so I kept the house, I still wouldn't marry one. I'd rather be homeless.

have you tried contacting your old friends and seeing how life is for them?

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

Some of happiest moments for me are just hiking in out of way places. There is a decent stream with long picturesque rapids about eight miles from me in fairly remote reserve area. I usually don’t see any people all day and either camp overnight or return as a day hike. If I do stay, I sometimes carry a very lightweight telescope w tiny mount on my pack board and do some star gazing as well. The entire trip cost me nothing but a little shoe leather and a few items of food that I pack along.

Women have never brought me happiness. Hell there not trying to.haha. Happyness comes from withen. A womans job is to f~~~ that up for you. I too learned that the hard way.

you’ve pretty much described my perfect life scenario right there….I am going to sell up next year (thank you ridiculous London property prices) and move to the English countryside with a load of spare cash to keep me going for years. Sick of the rat race

That’s awesome, I would love to say to a woman trying to bag me “I’m not interested in a relationship, I’ve been single for 15 years and I’m a MGTOW, by the way women repulse me, bye baby” 🙂

Interesting funny how only certain things stick in memory. Thanks for sharing this might be useful to me someday.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

Funny you should mention that. I was getting a haircut a few weeks back.

So are you seeing someone?
Not me. I’ve been single for a long time.
How long?
15 years now.
Really! Still looking for the right one?
Nope. Gave up on that unrealistic miracle.
Oh OK. I’ve got a sort of boyfriend. I prefer going out with my friends but its nice to have someone to go on holiday with. Don’t you go on holidays?
Not with women, They’re usually going out with their friends.

I didn’t want to go any riskier than that as she was the one holding the scissors!

A couple of hours ago, I was lying in my hammock deep in the forest, just behind the sand dunes but still close enough to hear Lake Michigan crash against the shore. I’ve been spending the day bikepacking my Pugsley through a national park, taking my time to see things like the raccoon swimming in a small pond trying to catch frogs and crayfish, or watching colorful rainbow darters fight for territory and females in a shallow, crystal clear lake. The fun and contentment I’ve been having today would have never been possible with a Cupcake in tow. It’s always something with Cupcakes: “I’m cold. I’m hot. It’s too windy. I can’t walk in this sand. Are we there yet?” GAH! With only one exception, I can honestly say that I have NO fond memories of hiking, backpacking, kayaking or biking with a significant other; all the memories that stick in my mind were either with a buddy or were from solo trips. Life is just better without them.
