Long time lurker here and first post. Its great seeing this community grow over the last few years It's amazing and necessary, for men to find an outlet like this - keep going!

I would not consider myself full MGTOW but began following TRP while in college and am gradually shifting more towards MGTOW as I grow older.

I have had an easy time with women, I was blessed with good looks and have never had an issue meeting, sleeping with and getting involved with them - ITS A FRUITLESS GAME AND YOU ARE NOT MISSING ANYTHING. The grass is not greener in my shoes. I deal with the same shit every other guy deals with AWALT! Unless a women brings something to the table or gives me what I need I don't keep them around - do not compromise.

I think its really simple to deal with women these days. Just hold them to equal standards that you sent for your male friends/buddies/coworkers. That is what they want right? If you want a women in your life make sure you're holding her to the same standard as another male counterpart and don't put up with any less. Call out a girl out when shes not respecting you the same way you would if one of your mates disrespected you. If they cant deal with it -most all cant- they can leave. You teach people how you want to be treated. I see so many men just sucking up to girls just to get laid - you're worth more than that!

If women want all this equality and whatever else (the list is endless) then us as men need to hold them to equal standards. Let them take on the responsibility and watch what happens. Women are selfish in society you need to be selfish too!

Would you keep a friend around who never pays for anything when you go out? Would you always help a friend that never gives you anything in return? Would you give attention to a friend who never reaches out to you? Would you invite someone out who never invites you out? If a leech attaches to your leg do you let it stay there?

This community is not just for people who "cant get girls" or are "bad with women" which I think some people misconstrue this as. Its about holding people in society accountable. Start holding women to the same standards society holds us to. Everything becomes much more clear. Odds are there will be fewer women in your life and you will be going a different direction with dignity.

Above all - value yourself!
