I haven't had a chance to read all of the responses to this post, so maybe I'm missing some important points, but I thought I'd just throw my 2 cents in. You don't need a spouse to keep a clean house, or to take care of your non-financial needs, but then again a wife is much more than a housekeeper. She is meant to provide support, emotional nourishment, and physical intimacy as well. So while I would say that the MGTOW lifestyle is somewhat sustainable (there will always be men who forego marriage/relationships with women), it's probably not going to meet all of your needs. With that being said, I can understand how enticing the MGTOW lifestyle may be to a lot of men out there. There aren't a lot of high quality women—and I'm not even touching on appearance. I mean in terms of manners, behavior, treatment of others and overall attitude. My husband and I are the only couple in our massive circle of acquaintances that is married, in a stable monogamous relationship and having a child within marriage. With all the loving patience we can muster, we observe and oftentimes endure (in the case of my husband's coworkers) inappropriate, slutty and childish behavior from women who can't seem to stop getting pregnant out of wedlock, engage in abusive behavior towards their male "partners", drink/smoke excessively, flirt shamelessly with countless men and overall act brutish and uncivilized. I do not know ANY WOMAN in my town that I would even slightly consider to be a good choice for a partner, and I feel bad for a lot of the hard-working young men in my community who sometimes work 2-3 jobs and become punching bags for crazy women they feel roped into dating (the dating pool here is shallow, I'll tell you that). There ARE good women out there, but they're becoming increasingly difficult to find. Feminism and leftism has so greatly penetrated every facet of our society that finding a woman who has not been indoctrinated into it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You want a woman of virtue and value? Good luck. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try your hardest to find that perfect woman, but it's a difficult quest and I sympathize. My own gender makes me look bad, and that greatly frustrates me. This is coming from a conservative Christian wife. I don't consider myself attractive, and I'm overweight (though I've lost 30+ pounds in pregnancy) but I would gladly keep the body I'm in if it meant avoiding turning into a feminist or the like.
