There is a lot of talk on these pages about whether city or country life is preferable for MGTOW.
This is my take on living in a small country town of around 3 500 people. Firstly know, I am a country boy – born and bred (although not of this parish) – I enjoy country life, country sports, small communities and neighbourliness.
If moving to a small town you need to know that all of the businesses have been owned by the same families for generations. You either need to start a brand-new enterprise that does not impinge on anybody else’s income or you need skills that are both desperately needed and unobtainable in the area. This is unlikely.
No matter how good a plumber you are – for example – the job will first be offered to cousin Bob who has a few tools in a rusted bucket and a charge account at the silicone store. That’s just the way it is.
It is preferable to have some kind of business that you can do on-line/at distance and bring it – and your customers – with you.
Having a wife and children actually helps you get into the community.
The wimmenz will meet at the school gate/store/coffee shop, circle and sniff each other and then start trading favours and gossip.
Once you are known as ‘X’s-husband’, job-seeking gets a little easier.
Very few business owners hire-and-fire without ‘discussing’ the options with their wives.
If the wives approve of your wife then you stand a chance of getting an interview.
Bear in mind, you will not be offered a ‘good’ job. That will be reserved for the owners’ useless second-cousin. You will be the assistant to the second-cousin (i.e. doing the job at one third of the money whilst Cuz is out fishing or golfing)
Country life can be very quiet and whilst men work their way out of boredom, women tend to gossip and scheme their way out of boredom.
Like children, they create all sorts of mischief, encouraging each other in all manner of silly games and helping create huge problems where none had ever been.
Should your wife be naturally inclined to discontent, she will soon find herself like-minded gossips who will then proceed to inflame each other with tales of hardship and sadness and they will eventually decide to become ‘strong and empowered’.
Men getting kicked to the curb tends to happen en masse.
The wimmenz will have worked themselves into a frenzy and find themselves unable to retreat from their sanctified positions of anger and hurt.
Within a few short weeks, relationships, households and families are in tatters. ‘Useless’ – and now abandoned – husbands take shelter wherever they can.
The men who can’t take the pain of losing their families tend to hit bottom quickly. These men drink too much, wear dirty, ratty clothes, don’t bathe and are sometimes found passed-out in the gutter.
These men are highly-valued by ALL of the local women.
These men are used as object lessons to keep husbands and boyfriends in line.
‘See what will happen to you if you don’t behave and I leave you’ is the unspoken threat.
Woe betide the man who celebrates his wife’s leaving. The man who suddenly starts thriving after the ‘loss’ of his wife. That man is NOT PLAYING BY THE RULES.
That man finds his job on the line, finds almost every avenue shut to him. He has to be taught a lesson and eventually he will be driven out of town.
The wimmenz can’t have a successful survivor proving the lie that men can’t survive without a wife.
That’s country life for you.
