You mean like on forums? <evil grin>

At least some people on forums have brains. Computer games and porn involve no intelligence. Just either adrenaline or Vaseline.

Yes, like forums. I like to yammer.


I'll defend some games like Assassin's Creed. It's filled with history and stuff to read. (that was in defense of husband. lol)

I'll defend porn, because can you imagine these lads without it?!!!

Well men without women and without porn is better than men without women but with porn. I already know you well enough to know you'll agree that having any form of sexual outlet promotes mental and physical health. Saves on laundry too.

What's not good for society are criminals, you know people who bring active harm to it. Not a small amount of men who don't date or reproduce and just stay to themselves. There's really no reason to focus on such an insignificant portion of the population that deserves neither sympathy or vitriol.

About the only thing "men dropping out of the mating game and **** to porn" accomplishes is to minimize population growth. That's a great way to save the world. (I'm being sarcastic.) It's a great way to have NO life.

There is a reason why tab A fits into slot B.
And some other man choosing not to mate affects you how? What effect does it have on the rest of the world?

To tell you the truth, I couldn't give a damn.

This has become an "issue" in Japan where the birth rate is actually lower than the death rate:

'Herbivore men' are why nobody's having sex in Japan - Business Insider

Japan's 'herbivore men' -- less interested in sex, money - CNN.com

This is not an issue here. I knew at the age of 18 that I would never want a wife and kids and still feel the same way at 36. This is a personal choice that has no effect on society as a whole. As others have stated, this does not create "problems" here as there are other guys who will replace those who drop out. More than likely the guys who drop out are omegas, like myself, who are not desirable anyways. Women will flock to the alphas who have desirable traits.

I never heard of MGTOW until I read this thread. I went to their forums and it's just a bunch of delusional, bitter men who hate women. Most of them appear to be divorced men who are paying alimony and/or child support. I don't have a problem with the philosophy of moving on if sex/relationships have had a negative impact on your life. However, most of these men appear to have serious anger issues with women that they need to address through therapy. Hating women will not solve your problems.

Single life is what you make of it. I have work, hobbies, friends, family, etc. that keep me happy and engaged. I have also lived alone for 15 years and love it. If you're a glass half empty type of person you will struggle with single life. You will also probably struggle with life in general, regardless of how often you are getting laid.

I wish more people didn't want children. We are up to our arm pits in over population. If anybody doesn't want to replicate, more power to them! Even better the people who know in advance they wouldn't be good parents. Why have children if you can't be good for them and raise them to become healthy, productive adults? You are doing humanity a favor by taking your genes out of the gene pool.

If you like your life alone, why should anybody criticize you for that? It's your life to do with whatever pleases you (within civilized rules of society). If it makes you happy to game all your time off and surf porn, nobody has any right to criticize that. If they do it's them being judgmental in thinking you should somehow meet their standards. That's their problem, not yours.

I'm not one of you but you're doing me no harm. Nobody is telling me how to live my own life. Or if they do they are wasting their time. I'm comfortable with myself, I am who I need to be, I am enthusiastic that I will have a good life.

I wish everybody the best no matter what your lifestyle choices are. Your life, your choice.

Nor had I, and I just navigated over to it and, agree with your sentiment.

I get the impression that these men are angry at these "selfish," "mean", "independent" and "indifferent" women because they act exactly like these very same men who are criticizing them -- and who have formed a movement against them. It must really hurt to look in the mirror and see one's own faults, flaws and bad character staring back. No wonder they are so upset.

No one there appears to be accepting blame for their own mistakes in choosing the wrong women! It's all the evil women's fault...
