Crossroads, MGTOW or the "American Dream" (self.MGTOW)

NullIsUndefined が 投稿

My girlfriend of many years recently broke up with me. I moved to a new city to be with here, I've lived here for almost 6 years now and have had a hard time making new friends. I have a pretty great job right now, so that part of life is going well. Though I would consider moving back around my family (brother, cousins, parents, uncles, aunts) (where sadly the jobs aren't as good for programmers).

I'm basically trying to make some life decisions here. Should I seek a life of MGTOW or try for the American Dream.

I'd like to ask this group how they truly find purpose in life as MGTOW. I feel pretty "untethered right now", without much to ground me in a purpose. Working toward a future life with wife and kids sort of helped me feel grounded. I could try a few new hobbies, do more hiking, starr vloging, learning improve comedy, do some game programming, etc. But I honestly don't find that fulfilling, at the very least I think I need a better social life to feel fulfulling in life. But thats also far from a lifes purpose. I'm not religious by any means, so I think its up to you to chose your purpose in life. I'm not sure that a life of leisure is for me. Though recently a friend of mine bought a van and has been driving around the US and living in that, sounds kind of fun.

I make decent money and could easily support a wife and child or two. I'd only want to do it if I could meet a very responsible woman. Either capable of making a decent income to also help support the kids (and use daycare), or willing to give up some career time to be a mother for the first few years. The girl I was dating last wasn't very enthusiastic about kids, and didn't really make much money.

Strange rant, i dunno lol. I'm turning 29 in July. Life is a journey, how good is the MGTOW life really? What id the way to really find purpose?

Are we not biologically in need of a woman to feel good in life?

Are we not biologically in need of a woman to feel good in life?

No, we are in need. MGTOW isn't some kind of NOFAP movement. We're definitely in need, but because we're the bottom 80% of the barrel, we can't quench our thirst as easily as the upper echelon can.

So we resort to escorts, porn, and fleshlights to carry us through the thirsty years, in hopes, that one day, when we've made our own way, we'll be successful, happy, and not thirsty.

  1. "Not thirsty" can mean permanent celibacy, learning to spin plates, moving toward polyamory, or just sticking with escorts.

  2. Successful can mean a traveling sales job, your own business, a handy man, whatever.

  3. Happy can meet paying off a mortgage, becoming strong fit dude, having a tight social circle, whatever.

Asceticism, MGTOW, Monk Mode is a philosophy to help you choose how you want to quench your thirst, how you want to be successful, and how you want to be happy. MGTOW is different from TRP because TRP is built on a stricter set of rigid rules, like "You must practice day game. You must work out. You must learn to shit test back." Essentially, MGTOW uses the phrase, "You could" and TRP uses the phrase, "You must"
