That name did have me once assume it was only for gay men.

That group hates women so it may be close to it.

I wouldn't say gay men hate women. It is a sexual preference. No more than a straight guy hating another guy.

Why hatred at all? That's the pathetic part, hating others because of your own shortcomings.

I guess that this will be my last post until Female Valentine Day 02142016 maybe on Male Valentine Day
( SUPERBOWL 50TH) 02072016 , If the mood moves me I
will give my Sltate of the Union Speech on the men vs. Women World War's.

I have had problems in my life ,but to be honest (Women)
are the least of my concerns, and I want to make a short
list of the many positive contributions that they contribute
to our's life's on a constant and daily basic.

1. The Faking of Orgasms/Climax's..Ice Princesses my hat is off to all of you , and you know who you are...
2. The constant stroking of our's pitiful Ugly Male Ego's
3. The convincing of A Man that's He's A Winser & Not A LOSER......Winser means half Winner/ half Loser..
4. The making of A Man Legacy by the painful ordeal of
CHILD BIRTH....
5. The visual image of what true self sacrifice looks like...
6. The personality traits of Nurturing others
7. The personality traits of forgiveness
8. Great Meals/Shopping For Great Meals..LOL....

At least they'll have a good theme song. I loves me some Fleetwood Mac even though they were a bit before my time.

On one hand, I think it's great that MGTOW offers a place for these men to go, where they can meet other men who have been through similar painful experiences, and they are given support and encouragement. I see it as sort of a lonely hearts club for men. Everyone needs to have a sense of belonging to something!

I support the concept of putting aside the things in your life that are not working and building a new life that does work for you, even if it's outside what our society considers the norm.

On the other hand, my concern is that they appear to dwell in negativity and blaming others and never move past that. Their wounds don't heal. They only festure and and MGTOW adds fuel to the fire, when they are vulnerable, only adding to their unhappy mental and emotional state.

Do men who belong to MGTOW ever heal and evolve into happy people, who are capable of love?

Can you imagine what it must be like to living an entire life carrying around that level of bitterness and hostility? It must be a living hell and a terribly heavy burden. It makes me shudder to think about it.

I read this whole thread and I am amazed how many replies a topic about self-marginalized men generates. Me personally, I will never opt out of dating. I am not very active in the dating world right now but I will never shut the door completely on it or marriage. I opted out of the Judaeo-Christian nuclear family 25 years or so ago and I have never regretted that decision but that is apparently not really what this thread is about.

I do not like how the phrase "men going their own way" is commandeered for such a harsh level of social withdrawal. I like to think that given my age / generation and religious upbringing that I went my own way by eschewing the nuclear family tradition but I would never take such a hard line on dating and interpersonal relationships.

Yes - please don't confuse guys who are in the MGTOW movement with single guys like me who are dating women, but still have 0 interest in marriage or starting a family.
