What does 'going your own way' actually mean?

[DocParticipant]

Before I say another word I am certainly not attempting to lecture people here but having read some of the recent posts and the heated debate that has occurred I have been reflecting on what it all means.

I ended up coming up with a few thoughts which I want to share.

If we take the term ‘going your own way’ as an absolute term then it must mean heading in a direction that nobody else has.

But that is impossible. Nor what we are doing here.
It appears that for the men who have found this place ‘going your own way’ meant making the decision to walk away from women, or not having anything to do with them to begin with. I would argue the former applies to the vast majority of us here. When youngsters appear and show they have little experience of women we send them back to the shark pool and say come back when they have been bitten. Perhaps I am wrong.

Anyway my point is that the individual decisions we each made to walk away from women forms a collective decision which by definition means we are going our way. Collectively.

Thinking about what El C~~~o Punto said about us not truly going our own way because we bitch about women – at one level he was right but he was taking the definition of ‘going your own way’ to another level.
His definition is closer to the absolute I mention above.
Take this to the absolute and none of us would even be here as we would all be off completely going our own way.

Now if one of the definitions of going our own way means literally doing what we want then men who are still fully signed up Blue Pill are also going their own way. In other words, no matter what a man chooses, whether that be live in total solitude or be a fully signed up blue pill he could argue he is going his own way.

So there appear to be multiple definitions to what MGTOW means.

I think we would all agree that blue pill man is not by our definition going his own way.

So therefore the common idea of what defines men going there own way has to be the one that fits. In other words if most men who define themselves as MGTOW are the ones who have been f~~~ed over by women and come here for peace, support and to call women the c~~~s that they are then that is the true definition of MGTOW.
but we can’t ignore the definitions that lie either side of this spectrum. We are the middle ground.
Follow the circle towards blue pill man and we end up in the same place as if we follow the circle around to El C~~~o Puntos definition. Taken to the extreme we end up in the same place.

If that makes sense.

Anyway. Just my observations.
Whatever you define yourselves as then your definition would be correct.

My 50 cents:

Yes, going your own way means doing what ever the f~~~ you want.

Some monk it out, some pump and dump, some are still married.

But I think we all agree that MARRIAGE IS A BAD DEAL.

And since this days living with a women is basically equal to marriage…

Some people are masochist and like pain. Maybe some men like to be cucked, or divorce raped, maybe they get high on the s~~~ storm. Maybe that’s their way.

But the truth is most of us do not have that fetish.

Marriage or even living with a women was and is a bad deal, but we where told a lie “sugar, spice and everything nice” my mother raised me to be a “gentleman “ who knows how to treat a “lady” she raised a fool, and after almost ruin my life, she is full of regret now, she didn’t knew better, I didn’t knew better, but now I know.

First you stay the f~~~ away from women, then you find your own way, it’s almost impossible to GYOW still hooked on pussy.

Some of us might cross path in our ways, there is the hermits wanna be like me and tower, there is the insane rebel like DYD, the ogre like gargamel, the business men like venom or market watcher. We are walking, diferent or similar way, but we all walking, even some rebel is walking in circles or not at all.

GYOW is not going away from women, is what you do after you walk away from them, and more than that, is what you do after you walk away from the lie they sell you.

Just my share.

Got my IELTS now, wish me luck.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

I see it as a collection of blokes who have each others backs and are weathering the storm of the being taken for granted in life. We were once fathers, husbands, loyal to our partners or just looking for a wife (trouble/strife) but for whatever reason were pushed out of the plantation and finally said f~~~ it, nough is enough, I’m out.

Many have come and gone on this site with similar topics! The site could have been called “Men who’ve had enough” or “What genius came up with a gynocentric system?” or “Men who’ve discovered how shady women really are!” And so forth! It’s pointless to stop and try to study/analyze what “Men Going Their Own Way ” literally means! The men on here know intrinsically the meaning of Men Going Their Own Way! It can’t be bottled or pin down! It can only be lived and shared.

[DocParticipant]

Thank you.

I don’t have a definition for what I am up to.
I move through each day and treat ALL people I encounter with caution. Not just the wimmin folk.

I work with too many people and have learned most are c~~~s. Simple and plain.
I would ghost if I could and outside of work I practice that as much as I can.

Finding out I had Aspergers a few years ago and the sense of being judged for it pushed me further away from people. The irony is that now people are pursuing me. I laugh because it’s done. I walked. I keep walking.

Where – f~~~ knows. Just away. My way.

It starts with the pulling of the plug. The awareness…

You cannot be plugged in and blind, else you brush off the truth like an annoyance. The notion that there’s a different reality than that you’ve been conditioned to will upset a man who’s not willing to see the world for what it is.

Whether hermit, playboy, or awakened married man, once one sees the ugly side of reality, it’s impossible to go back. The veil is lifted, and choices must be made.

A solo life would be ideal, free of all the chaos and servitude that befalls the man involved with a modern SEI female. Sadly, many fall to that trap on a daily basis, and some of us were not enlightened until it was far too late.

I have a friend that lives the MGTOW lifestyle, but I don’t know if he’s even heard of us. He’s divorced many years ago, and had his life ripped from him. In our many conversations he emulates exactly what the message of this forum is.

I have another friend who’ve I’ve attempted to lay some knowledge on (gained from personal experience). He will not listen. He’s in his 40’s, so far not married, and is getting married to a baby rabies women in her late 30s next year. He should know better, but shows no compunction to not f~~~ up his entire extistence. For what reason I do not know (he’s already bitching about the s~~~ testing and lack of sex)

In conclusion…. AWALT, so go GALT if you can. If not, embrace the truth and effect influence from the inside. (family men like myself, I’m talking to you.) Teach your sons well so they do not repeat the mistakes of their fathers.

keep your head out of the noose just say no do your thing no commitment’s to women no promises simmple

[freedomParticipant 5129]

I disagree, going your own way is not about going in a direction that no one chose to himself, it’s about having your choices not influenced by social norms which dictated to people how to conduct for over a century while ignoring the dynamic world we’re living in.

Marriage is the number one social norm, it has been there for thousands of years, but lately it has been falling apart, because the laws of marriage are unfitting to current times, as women are no longer limited to being housekeepers or small meaningless jobs, therefore, losing a marriage is not as bad as it is for man, not at all.
We as men need to analyze the situation and understand that it’s simply not a good deal for us, even though we were brainwashed to believe that we are ought to go with it, going against that social norm can bring a lot of head turns on you and you choose to ignore it because you are living for yourself, that is going your own way.

[Anonymous 42]

It means you add stability and predictability to your life ending the cycle of abuse that has you constantly mopping up the shattered pieces of your life.

It means you no longer share your life with the modern burden laden female.

It means no phone call evicting you from your home and making your life turmoil and unproductive.

It’s cutting out the cancer of life!

Thank you for posting guys.
I appreciate your thoughts on this.

Yes – cutting out the one cancer that is totally preventable. Some can f~~~ you regardless of how you live – don’t smoke, don’t play with asbestos, use sunscreen, eat your spinach, etc., and you can still get some cancer out to kill you.

But gynocentric-empowered AWALT cancer is 100% preventable. And still running rampant…

Save yourselves and enjoy life.

Don’t get married.
Don’t have children.
Just don’t.

Not in this f~~~ed up world.

[chirParticipant]

It means you have realized that most “modern” societies are hypergamus cesspools which both enslave us to “societal norms” as defined by hypergamy and leave us with nothing but debt and death.

We also realize that we cannot change hypergamy in society. Why? Because we see hypergamy’s enablers working day in and day out. Simps, mangina’s, cucks, white knights all enable the hypergamus hive mind (now even more influential thanks to social media) on the outside chance that they may be given a chance at reproduction.

We cannot change hypergamy, yet we still have the option to CHOOSE what we do with our lives, become a slave to hypergamy or not. For now, CHOICE is still available.

We CHOOSE to not destroy our dignity, our right to self ownership, and refuse to be slaves to a hypergamus system which will take everything including our lives from us.

MGTOW “going your own way” means CHOICE.

What we do with that choice is up to each individual. Some travel, some make bank, some drop out, some become monks, some scream from the mountain top to all men that they have a choice and some just find happiness in living well.

Each tale of what we do after making that choice is unique as the man themselves.

When you don’t buy into the blue pill lies, and can see through the everyday bulls~~~ called ‘society’ there’s no going back.

Your fellow humans will run you down for not wrangling in that unicorn, then act normal as they gripe about their wives and s~~~ty kids and lousy jobs.

No thanks.

If women ran the world = It would become the shithole you are seeing.

I like getting on here and calling them c~~~s.

Nice line carnage

For me going my own way is merely seeing reality for what it really and truly is and then making the best possible choices based on that. Basically, overcoming or escaping denial, and in time, “eventually” getting to a place of true acceptance.

I’m not 100% there yet. But yeah, giving up on women, I think is a must. Whether you decide to go back at a later time, different story. But you’ve got to cut that umbilical cord to where you don’t care if you ever get laid or get approval from another woman for the rest of your life.

As far as mgtow. All the stuff I just said on seeing reality for what it really is.

We’re all different. None of us are equal. The world isn’t fair.

What works best for me is just what works best for me.

Trying to copy someone else’s way of being, over time, it’ll lead to the same issues that brought us here. Speaking in terms of generations.

All these false values came from somewhere. Overtime, people bought into them and they became social norms. When everyone believed it was true, it then became very difficult to question for ourselves that which is rarely or never questioned. Perhaps at one time they were true but circumstances were different.

Not just on women, I’m talking about everything. Women is just the biggest piece because the desire for love, or reproduction, is the main driving force.

To me MGTOW isn’t really about walking away from women. It’s just that once I made that decision, it’s like I’m finally coming to terms with reality and who I am, my nature, what actually makes me happy, what is the best way for me to live.

At the end of the day, I just want to enjoy my life. Following the norm, dealing with women, rat race, all that. It never worked for me, and I wasn’t bad at, I was probably above average. I just kept constantly looking around at everyone and everything and thinking “I’m literally just waiting to die…”

Giving up on women is what it took to break that spell. Mgtow is what I’m doing after that effect.

Truth has no place to live in the mind of a woman.

[TicParticipant 4329]

it’s an awakening.

it’s seeing the truth about the world and formulating new ideas in how as a man to deal with all the dangers out there when it comes to women.

It doesn’t mean you have to do away from having a woman in your life. It just means you now do it on YOUR OWN TERMS and not based on social norms.

For me, it’s putting Tic as numero uno and being basically a selfish bastard to protect my sovereignty.

God bless peace and freedom.

[Cú ChulainnParticipant 3910]

Not everyone comes here to bitch about women. I’m over that phase, I’m looking forward to the positives that await me.

I know we are all at different stages, and some are very stressed out, while others are more chilled. That probably means the former are mostly those going through the s~~~ vortex, or recently got through it; these will post more about the female of the species.

[Anonymous 1]

I think the bigger awakening is realizing that Society views you as a disposable “Cog” in a great big machine. Figuring out how to have a meaningful life in spite of this, means going your own way. Leaving behind everything you were indoctrinated to believe in. Question everything you took for granted and forge ahead. We must also know that certain forces in our Society are actively trying to coax us back onto the plantation. Reject the easy road and choose the road less traveled.

[DocParticipant]

I definitely agree that the coaxing back onto the plantation goes on.

I like what tic said – LIVE LIFE ON YOUR OWN TERMS.
I am doing that for the first time ever. In 45 f~~~ing years.

For me, doing what I want, when I want, how I want. No explaining my actions to a dream crusher.

How many men have given up their dreams and goals for access to assumed vagina?

I never thought GMOY would actually be this fun. It took an adjustment period, but now I’ll never go back to the plantation. Every day is an unplanned opportunity for me. Seriously, I have no idea were I’ll end up tonight.
