MGTOW men have a miserable life! - By GabrielKnight

"MGTOW men have a miserable life!". I guess some of you have read or heard that phrase when you told a woman that you are going your own way and that you have no interest in getting married or having kids. Maybe even some men told you that. They also like to tell you that you will die alone and that your life has no purpose without children.

I want to talk about this topic and share my thoughts and experiences. I have been a MGTOW for many years and I had phases in my life where I was a MGTOW without even realizing it, so I think, I am qualified to talk about it.

Last year I spend my holidays on Mallorca and Gran Canaria. Alone. When I went to Mallorca, I booked my self a nice hotel where you could see the ocean from every room. I had a room in the 11th floor with a balcony and every morning I got up, I would hear the ocean, then I would step on the balcony and enjoy the fresh air and the outlook. Beautiful!

I could get up, whenever I wanted, I didn´t have to share the bathroom with my "better half" and when I went to the breakfast-room, I didn´t have to endure endless boring "conversations". In fact, I had some sadistic pleasure, listening to the nagging and complaining of wifes at the other tables who told their husbands what to do, how to eat or what to eat. Or they were just complaining about some stuff they weren´t happy with.

Mallorca is really beautiful with a lot of interesting places to go and beaches and nice ports everywhere. You can just drive anywhere randomly and you will find a nice place or a nice little cafe, where you can relax and have a coffe, watching people and talking to strangers. I rented a motorcycle for 11 days and I was good to go: A whole island to be explored, exciting things to be discovered. I could go WHERE I wanted, WHEN I wanted. The guys who rent the motorcycles even offered me a free tour with them to show me places on the island. They were really relaxed and cool guys and I enjoyed talking to them about the island, about their shop and about motorcycles.

In the evenings, I would go back to the hotel and enjoy my time at the pool with a beer. One day, a lady my age comes to me and starts a conversation. Not bad looking, a bit chubby but it suits her and she has a nice huge pair of boobs. I quickly find out that she is married. Oh well....I get to know her hubby and he is actually a very nice guy. After some time I actually enjoy talking with him more than with his wife. We have intersting conversations about technical stuff, music, work, sailing boats and motorcycles. They are both surprised that I am single and ask me if I don´t feel strange, going on vacation only by myself. I tell them that I actually enjoy being on my own, because I can do whatever I want. Her husband seems to understand the concept and I get the impression that maybe in the back of his head he starts to envy me a little bit.

I also meet an older woman there, she is funny and nice but full of all that stereotypes. She doesn´t understand at all that I don´t want a relationship and that I am not married and that I don´t have children. I tell her that the majority of women just isn´t worth the effort and that most women I met during the past years had serious mental issues.

After some days I get to know some of the people there and in most cases it´s the guys I am talking with. We often have very interesting conversations and in most cases they ask me what I do today. And when I tell them that I will go on a motorcycle trip to discover places or tell them about the places I have already been, most of them get excited and I get the impression that they are missing out on something....that maybe they would rather be somewhere else or do something different than going for coffee with their wifes....or sit at the pool with them.

I also had a short trip to Gran Canaria, mostly to get some sun and because I knew that the coming months would be loaded with work and I wanted to take a chance to relax. I mostly stayed at the hotel, had long lazy days at the pool or I went to the spa or their small fitness-center.

One evening, while I was sitting at the pool enjoying myself with a drink before I went to bed, a guy with his wife comes to my table. He is a cool guy, very nice and he sells motorcycles. We instantly have an interesting conversation going. His wife doesn´t talk much and I am not really interested in talking to her.

I then start to realize that it happens quite often, that men come to me and start talking to me, almost as if they wanted some companionship and are looking for an excuse to get away from rheir wifes for a moment. And most of them almost seem desperate to talk about something interesting. Once I start talking to them, they won´t stop. Maybe their wifes are pretty boring....and let´s be honest guys: We all know, that most women don´t know how to hold a decent conversation and have nothing to talk about. Those men look like dogs that have been neglected by their owners and are so happy that they have found someone who shows some interest in them and who plays with them. You can really see the eyes of some of those guys starting to glow, when they engage in a conversation about a topic that really interests me. Some of them tell me stories about their past....that they used to ride a motorcycle too....or about places they went before they were married.To me they look like those poor dogs you will find in an animal shelter who start wiggling their tail as soon as someone talks friendly to them and pets them.

So yes...it´s a really miserable life when you are a MGTOW. 

I can go where I want to go, whenever I want to. I can decide to go on a vacation and pick my destination just one day before and I don´t have to deal with a wife/girlfriend who wants to go somewhere else and I don´t have to make time for her. The whole day belongs to me. I can get drunk like hell and nobody conplains about it. I can flirt with the ladies and talk to whoever I want.

Oh and the famous "You will die lonely and alone!"...well...guess what: We all die alone. A former classmate has moved from germany to Texas, his parents still live here in germany. When they die, he won´t be around to hold their hands. And when one of them dies first, the other one will probably stay alone for the rest of his life. A marriage and children is no guarantee that all your kids and your partner will be at your side, when you die. (More likely: Your wife will divorce you and take half of your stuff.)

And what about: "Your life has no purpose!"? Well...all those married guys I met...does their life have more purpose than mine? Because they have to care for their wifes and children? I doubt it. If you want your life to have a purpose, you have to give it a purpose. Travel, learn languages, meet people or do charity work....do whatever inspires you.
