I'm so glad that I finally found the answer to literally all the problems in my life. All of the truths about women and society that MGTOW highlights, I feel that I always subconsciously knew but refused to acknowledge due to false hope and the fear of being alienated by others, since most men are blue pill.

The only reason I found MGTOW was someone name-dropping it in a thread on AskReddit about how millennials are having less sex than previous generations. Someone in the comments stated that it was only men that were having less sex, and more women than ever were, just with a smaller percentage of men (top 20-30%). This was such a lightning bolt of truth for me, as it was something I passively observed all of my teenage years until now, yet didn't consciously realize.

After googling MGTOW I immediately found this subreddit and have been reading it every day for the last week. I feel like I have learned so much, or rather fully revealed the facts I already knew, dragged them screaming into the light and accepted them instead of hiding them away because I was afraid of them before.

For the last few years my life has been very stagnant and depressing. I was in a pit of despair from thinking that I would "never be good enough" to be in a relationship, at least while I was still young. I had subconsciously blue-pilled myself as a future beta provider for a woman who had hit the wall. Since I felt that was all I had to look forward to, I stopped taking care of myself and working toward any meaningful goals. I spiraled into deeper and deeper depression until I was literally too lazy to even enjoy my hobbies. Everything I did was either passive consumption of shallow entertainment (youtube, netflix, etc) or instant gratification (playing a multiplayer shooter which required no thought or learning new things). I stopped reading completely for almost 2 years, I stopped playing new single player games that I had been excited to play, and just generally seeking new experiences. If my friends wanted to go new and exciting, I almost never went due to low self esteem and being trapped in my pathetic comfort zone. I smoked cigarettes more than ever (started at age 15, now I'm 22) and continued poor eating habits, no exercise and a horrible sleep schedule. I did quit smoking about 6 weeks ago however, before finding MGTOW.

After finding MGTOW, I have literally transformed overnight, at least in terms of mentality. I still have a long way to go for some of my issues, but I now have the motivation to do so and a plan. Every day I wake up and think about all the things I want to do. If things need to be done, I do them right away instead of procrastinating. I have so many long-term goals I think about, swirling around in my mind, and I'm finally so excited for the future for the first time I can remember since grade school. Now that I know that I don't NEED a woman to validate me, that I don't need to conform to societal expectations, I realize how much freedom that gives me. Without having to spend so much time doing things that she wants to do, I can focus all my time and energy on my both my work and my hobbies. I can live anywhere I want, and I can choose somewhere that is practical financially and functionally rather than an exorbitant status symbol. I can furnish and decorate my home any way I see fit without judgment. I can own guns, get a cool car, have a pool table, ridiculous gaming room, etc, etc. I WILL SAVE SO MUCH MONEY by not buying useless garbage, and especially not having children, which would make me a debt slave for the rest of my life. I can use that money to go to events that I've always wanted to attend (e3, CSGO tournaments, conventions etc) and travel the world, but not to go spend a vacation on a resort. I want to go see history and natural beauty. I'll visit London, Italy, Iceland and Sweden rather than Mexico or the Bahamas. I want to see castles and monuments and mountains, not luxurious complexes that idolize Western avarice.

I'll live my life the way I see fit and share it with like-minded friends. I will no longer care what anyone else thinks.

A lot of people on here say that MGTOW is not a movement. I personally think that it should be. If not for someone spreading the word elsewhere on Reddit, I would have never found this subreddit and who knows how long it would have taken to me wake up, if ever. Other men out there need our help, and I think we need to do our best to show them the way. We don't need to be organized and obnoxious about it. We should just take the opportunity to show other men the path when we see they might be receptive to the idea. Both in real life and online, if you see a man that is struggling to reconcile society's demands with his own internal logic and self-respect, let him know your thoughts. It could be a subtle nudge or a hard shove, depending on the situation. It's very difficult to come to these conclusions on your own, and I think that there are many men who would change their ways if they knew they were not alone. They deserve to be free

TL;DR - MGTOW has give me purpose in life again and I think that we should try to help other men who haven't taken the red pill yet
