The best thing is to be open...if it´s for you...you wil get there.

But marriage is a choice, an option, and often a very big decision, not for everybody.

Out of morbid curiosity I read some posts on a "mgtow" site. Good God. So many men saying women are worthless, stupid, inferior to men in every way and only exist because of their reproductive organs. This is what they say about their mothers, sisters, nieces, and possibly, daughters. Pretty sick mindset.

Luckily, they also seem content to just cheer each other on via the internet and not interact too much with decent, intelligent, mentally healthy people.

It's called a tantrum.

That's the sad thing about the whole "movement." If it really were about guys positively supporting each other for doing their own thing outside of societal and familial expectations, great! Have at it. But there's this underlying layer of misogyny and bad social science and even hate speech that's just not at all cool.

They complain about lunatics like Andrea Dworkin and the whole "every man's a rapist" b.s. line of thinking, but I don't see where their attitude toward women is any different in its presumptions.

Bottom line is that these are guys who feel entitled to things they haven't earned, whether it's respect or a spot in a desirable woman's life. They write, and therefore most likely behave, like jackasses. It's a giant circle jerk of bitter douchebags and social misfits who have no concept of women as humans. Quite simply, they hate what they so desperately want and need, and they aren't man enough to own and correct their own circumstances.

Attaboys. You want to go your own way? Don't walk. I'll pay for your cab.

I fully agree, and hopefully they went their own way long before they reproduced!

It's not even underlying. Those that are saying that it's not about putting down or hating women are in serious denial.

Anytime you are putting others down, in order to make yourself feel better............ you need to take a good hard look at yourself and make some changes.

Doesn't matter if it's gender, race, religion or anything else.

Their site? Like just one? Like its their headquarters? There are myriads of websites. Did I not explain there is no organization, no structure? There, now I have said it twice.
