I'm too old to be a millennial but the falling rate of marriage is clear and the decreased interest of American men in being married seems to be a real social phenomenon.

So... my question to the men on this board (esp those who often speak poorly of marriage) is if this is a real thing? If you have opted out of marriage and legal relationships with women then do you consider yourself part of the MGTOW movement? Did you have the Red Pill moment that the MGTOW men seem to speak of most commonly?

Men Going Their Own Way.

Basically guys that have sworn off meaningful relationships with women because they believe they are one sided and pointless.

frick hookers and bar girls and keep your money basically.

All the broken hearts in the world still beat
Lets not make it harder than it has to be
Ooooooh it's all the same thing
Girls chase boys chase girls

I'm a little let down, but I'm not dead
There's a little bit more that has to be said
You play me, now I play you too
Lets just call it over

I go my own way.


But my way involves women. I'm just not marrying them anymore.

I think a lot of these MGTOW types have pretty much just given up on chicks.

I didn't know about it either until I stumbled across it - the acronym stands for Men Going Their Own Way. As best I understand it they are men who refuse to marry or become legally obligated to women. Most of their complaints seem to center of the lack of reproductive and financial equity that results if they enter into a relationship that results in marriage or children.

Because I see so many men around here speak so negatively about marriage I thought this would be a good place to ask if this was something they considered themselves to be a part of?

I blame the feminism movement. Women want to be treated equal and then expect us to pull all the weight.

There is very little incentive for a man to marry.

the MGTOW guys are essentially arguing you are a beta to women (all of whom are made alphas by the legal system unless you are already destitute).

Some of them seem quite willing to enter into physical relationships with women - but those who do seem hell bent on avoiding being trapped.

Carried to their extreme the MGTOWs will get vasectomies to avoid the chance of pregnancy with their flings and use a surrogate if they want to have a child that can not be taken away by the biological mother.

As introverted and quirky as I am (I'm not unlike Rain Man in some ways) I was able to find someone, mostly in spite of myself. Women are out there. If you can't find at least one, it's on you.

Scrolled through Red Pill on reddit. Those dudes must have been dropped pretty hard.

MGTOW is a small subset of the RP nothing more. Most of society is programmed to beta worker drones so the RP will never be huge. The only downside for the modern man is kids and that will be fixed with the male birth control in 2017. MGTOW is smart as we dont have the beta government system to fix our mistakes like women do. The only way to win a game is to not play.

MGTOWs are whiny grown men who have decided to give up on women(going their own way) instead of improving themselves to be more attractive to women and lead a better lifestyle.

The Red Pill, in this context (non-conspiratorial), is a most-of-the-time adopted mindset to be able to see the truth particularly in sex/gender relations and its connection to society at whole.
