Zero to Hero

Salutations.

I’m a damn lucky bastard. My life is all silver lining now, and no cloud left.
Being born geeky and raised beta, my romantic life can best be summarized by the phrase “frustrative non-reward.” I thought my romantic failures were a curse, but now I am considering early retirement precisely because no woman ever gained access to my resources.
It was a close call, though, having been raised to want marriage and kids. I figured out that I didn’t actually like kids at around 20 or so years of age, and started realizing that marriage was a rigged game just a few years after that. Now I can’t imagine any circumstance under which I would ever sign a marriage contract.
Now that I have the alpha traits and resources to make women chase, its just not worth the effort. Rejection taught me emotional independence, which gave me freedom. I get fulfillment from my friends, studying, lifting, meditation, and video games.

I like freedom. I’m keeping it.

It is wise to fear dangerous commitments.

That’s a damn happy story! I hope the younger men here take your message to heart — man avoids cohabitation, marriage and kids and has a happy life. The end.

Welcome!

Love seeing young men going MGTOW. Look forward to hearing more from you.

Welcome! Your story is an inspiration to all men!

Welcome brother, and nice work on the early retirement! Do you mind if i ask what your target age is to check out? I ask because i’m working on a similar plan but have all the financial damage from divorce to recover from.

Welcome to freedom, Freedom!

The answer is NO. “I could but I won’t”. Memini murum!

Sorry to hear about your divorce. 🙁 Don’t let the bitch crush your spirit.

I promised myself I wouldn’t work past 50, which is still a ways off. I could retire right now, but only barely, and would like a little more security/luxury than I could now afford. But I am not really sure where the right point is, so I am just kind of feeling it out. I am also afraid that I might fall into depression if I just quit working cold-turkey; I understand that is common in men. Something about productivity being a source of self-worth.

Anyway, life isn’t a race to see who can retire first. I had to put up with a lot of long hours and stress to get where I am, and it did get to me at times, so everything is a trade-off.

Welcome Freedom.

I too was geeky – I did not have my first LTR until I was done all my post-secondary education at about 27. Odd hook-up, but nothing long term. Unlike yourself, I fell into the whole social programming, found one I though was a unicorn, dated for about 4 years and was married and divorced within a few after she monkey branched and left.

I was lucky and did not have children. I avoid the divorce rape, but still bear painful scars from the encounter. It’s been a few years since all went sideways – I am almost back to where I was in my independence in my mid-late 30’s. I learned from my mistake – glad you learned before you suffered my fate.

I live a frugal lifestyle. Provided we don’t have a total financial collapse, I should be able to retire by 55 in a lifestyle I enjoy. I still will work/consult to keep myself mentally and physically active when the desire arises – dream is to retire to the water on a boat/yacht
