    Recommending Men Going Their Own Way doesn’t bode well in regards to your opinion, so… OP, please disregard.

      Recommending Men Going Their Own Way doesn’t bode well in regards to your opinion

      So working on yourself and improving yourself, building self-respect, setting personal standards that you refuse to compromise on, and focusing on intrinsic motivation is somehow “not boding well”?

      What a weird way of punching down.

      And for decades now, women have been screaming at men to “leave me alone”, for men to not bother them or approach them or hit on them or engage with them in any way unless engaged with first… yet you have issues with men who do exactly that? You have problems with men whose entire philosophy is to ignore women in exactly the ways that women have been demanding?

      Again, what a strangely hypocritical criticism.

      The entire point of MGTOW is to give men a path out of “incel-dom”, to show them that there is an alternative path to fulfilment and peace and effective happiness that is entirely self-achievable because it does not hang on the sharp hooks of female approval. That any man can fully divest themselves of this cycle of bigotry and external blame and the bigoted societal expectations of men to focus on what truly matters - themselves.

      And in our society where ¾ of all suicide victims are men, we desperately need more men to focus on themselves, first.

        That is not what MGTOW means in reality, and you know it. Stop playing coy.

          Ah, ignorance. It exists both as an innocent lack of information as well as an intentional rejection of facts. Yes, your cultivated ignorance is on full display.
