Found out about Mgtow almost 2 years ago. Had no idea there was a movement of men who were getting together and discussing these issues, but I wasn't surprised being that I spent almost 8 years prior in the PUA community. After going from one empty hook up to another I tried doing the long term relationship thing. Got into one or two LTR's which lasted around 2 to 3 years at a time which by then these women would get crazy as fuck (bi-polar type shit). Making demands, trying to manipulate me into unilateral agreements....so I'd walk away. One of the biggest forms of attraction to a woman is conveying to her that you come from a place of abundance, so I never had an issue ending shit. The last relationship I was in was around 2015 and I could never imagine myself getting into another one considering how crazy things have gotten (gynocentrism etc.). Women trapping guys into domestic abuse convictions, false rape accusations, and their idea that what's good for them is good for everyone else. While taking a break from women (I'd ended the relationship around october 2014, and this was in March of 2015) an acquaintance asked me if I was dating anyone and I said I was taking a long awaited break and how women were insane. He asked if I was MGTOW and I had no idea what he was talking about so I looked it up the next day. Youtube didn't have much MGTOW content as it has today but there was plenty of videos. I also started reading the mgtow subreddit. Needless to say, I found my new family. I've never been married, never wanted to be after seeing all my family members and friends get fat and depressed from divorce or their wives/girlfriends constantly getting on their case. Most became Financially ruined in some massive credit card debt. Alcoholism, drug abuse. Even guys I knew who were like "don't get married" were still getting into their 2nd and 3rd marriages. I'm a very logical person so it didn't add up that this should be something that men should do. Deep down inside I never trusted women and always saw how they manipulated people and got away with it (I have sisters and one of them was a bonafide cunt). After having been on youtube and reddit I decided it was time to get serious about this and join this forum. I'd heard about it but was hesitant being that I'd been a part of many PUA forums. But this is definitely different. I'd also just heard the Turd Flinging Monkey show which had the creator of this forum on his show last week (Late September 2017) and the dude sounded cool as fuck. Very grateful to him for putting all this work into this forum. I look forward to being able to contribute and help out where I can. I've been doing a lot of meditating the last year and made a ton of changes from who I hang out with (I basically cut everyone off who was a toxic sjw cuck) to my diet (Keto baby), and am currently in the process of switching careers and moving towards something more suited to MGTOW. I'm currently debt free (paid all my student loans off) but am no where near having "fuck you" money. These last two years I've learned how save money and become a minimalist.
