Well, I've been cheated on a lot, and lots of other guys I know, male family members in particular, get cheated on and never really know about it. I've also had the feeling since I was about 7 years old that my mum was cheating on my dad. Most of the women I see out in public are often doing a terrible job with dealing with their children as well and treat their husbands like servants. I've also been abused by a female teacher as well, I don't want to say a whole lot on this, but basically I have literal scars left over from that. Also, basically every woman I know is into drugs and sleeping around which Stef talked about in a video explaining basically how these things are actually really bad to have in your past when you're trying to make a family. Overall, I'm contemplating it because I don't want lots of shit to deal with in my life that I am legally bound to put up with otherwise I loose half of everything. I hate being screwed around.

Well, I have only met one other person who is like minded so far and I don't talk to her anymore. But other than that it seems to be progressing forward pretty well. What age would you consider to be old enough for contemplating MGTOW?

Wow, I did not see that coming... what were you CEO of? -
Yeah, .com domains are pretty expensive, but if it's a freemium or donations based site, then something like a .net or .act could be used. Also, .co as opposed to .com could also be a cheaper option.

Also @barn, how much business books do you read? I found that with any business book author, their work is great when combined with other works. If you read stuff from Tony Robbins, he aims at the self-esteem side of things, Robert Kiyosaki with the mindset side of things, Russel Brunson with the 'how to do it, step by step' side of things. None of these guys are perfect really. I'm not sure if you've noticed that as well, but let me know if you have

Well, at least you've started. The best time to start investing was 10 years ago. The second best time is today. Yeah, basically other people's debts turn into loans/stocks/bonds/etc.. when they are bought by someone else (eg: you). However, this could also become your own debt if the original debt holder doesn't pay you back. Absolutely yes! Friendships or any other type of mutually beneficial relationship is an investment. It's usually not a monetary investment, but it is just as important for building wealth. A guy called Robert Metcalfe (the guy who made ethernet and founder of 3Com) made an equation for the wealth of friendships: V=N^2. V=value of network, N=number of folk in network. The term network refers to a network of people, eg: a friend group. According to this equation, the internet is the most important network from a wealth building perspective. Companies who use the internet to gain wealth will probably out-compete companies that do not. This si why I think mainstream media will either need to adapt or die. It doesn't necessarily have to be friendship or whatever, the people in the network need to be of a certain mindset as well. The above equation is in relation to the poential value of that network, not its actual potential. The actual potential is determined by many other factors (eg: whether or not the group promotes a positive growth mindset or not). Also, just because you have lots of people in that network, it doesn't mean that network is worth a whole lot. If I'm part of a network of established CEO's, then that network will be more valuable than a network of 20 year old jocks from University (if my goal is to build wealth). This is also determined by how you go about building wealth too. A network of established CEO's is not going to be of much use if your method for building wealth is by being a business mentor and helping others to grow. In this case, the group of University Jocks would be a much more valuable network. Also, a network could also be a liability if you have the wrong people. A bunch of communists in your network won't help with building wealth. Overall, I think the best network to have is one where there is a great variety of people who are all willing to put the effort in to work together. They have to be willing to work together and have a positive growth mindset, otherwise they could just be a liability. Sorry for blabbering on, haha, Spladam

Well, if you're accumulating your own debt then obviously no. Haha. If we're talking about buying debt, then it really depends. I own some of another companies debt but it's not much and I'm not well-versed in debt accumulation. There are different instruments that can be used to amass the debt of others: stocks, bonds, loans, mutual funds, etc. It's usually in the form of some paper investment. For example, China has bought some of the US national debt. In other words, the US is basically owing China and China gets the principal back, plus interest, back from the US (by a certain time frame, or whatever the agreed timing is) all because they bought debt! Buying debt however holds a risk. It may never get paid back and you will have just lost all that money. You can play it safe in the debt buying game and buy debt which has low interest rates but high return reliability, or high interest rates with low return reliability. It's basically gambling unless you do insider trading which is illegal (well, in Australia it is). Hope that helps!

G'day Barnsley, Caveats in order: 1. Why would a rich person want to help others get rich? Doing so could create a threat to their wealth especially if they spawn a competitor from their teachings. It would make sense to mislead others, which could be exactly what this book is for. (Just a conspiracy for now). 2. His ideas worked for him during the 70's and 80's. What worked then in business is probably not going to work now, but it really depends on what the method is and how it is applied. 3. There are new factors in business now that never existed before, crypto-currency and online banks are a great example. 4. Depending on where you live, his advice may be useless. Chances are, if you live in a western nation his advice is definitely gold. That being said, I have read 3 of his books and so far it seems like they are really great at clarifying things in a very easy to understand manner. I don't think there is really anything that bad about his books, except for the 17th chapter in "The Business of the 21st Century" book, which is dedicated to 'how great women are and how hard men make the world for them' BS. His work is very reliable IMHO. Cheers, Spladam

Thank you, I'll certainly consider seeing a therapist, I think this would sort out a lot of other problems in my life as well.

Haha, nice photo but I'm not that bad. I get regular hair-cuts, work out (and am studying to become a PT), and my wardrobe is pretty good, it's juts the social skills which are terrible. I basically can't connect well with women. I wrote another post on here further up which explains the reasons why (it should be under a pros/cons list).

Any Australians at all on here?
-
Which video was this from? I looked around but found multiple videos each with different contexts of potential.
-
I would love to get married and have kids, so long as there wasn't such terrible consequences for loosing. Also, even if I do get it right, what if I get marriage done right with the wrong person? I guess I should get out there a bit more and see it for myself. But yeah, I am inspired by that
-
I see, so I may as well try to get better at self-knowledge, introspection, and reducing my flaws at this point in time, otherwise I will pay some other way (eg: lifelong depression or learning much later on).
-
Where do you get these statistics from?
-
How do I become better at self-knowledge? And yeah, the MGTOW community is messed up at times and says some stupid shit, but the fundamentals of MGTOW are pretty powerful (eg: understanding female nature). If I do go MGTOW then it will be without all the hatred just like I have been already. I don't understand how this relates, do you mind explaining? Kind regards, Spladam

Wow, there's some really great answers here with lots of insight. As for sleeping around, I would rather find a girl who is also a virgin and wait until at least a year or so into the relationship before penetrative sex. Sleeping around does not sound that great from what I've heard. (maybe this is too much to ask for?) Reasons against being with women: I've been screwed around and abused by women quite a bit in my life. My trust for them is next to zero. My social skills are terrible because my Mum never let me socialize with kids my own age until I was 4, and because I am Autistic. I get little respect from women, and don't really feel like I ever could. I have had relationships before with girls who most would consider as being sensible, but they have all cheated on me. I don't want any more of this in my life. How do I know if she is lying about her past or not? I wouldn't want to expend effort into a relationship that ends up becoming a scam later on. Reasons for marriage: I am good with children and could raise them well We need more whites I get lonely and would like an exclusive relationship with a woman Women are great at organizing things and managing time. I'm not. Sex looks like fun, especially when it's done with a woman. We could be really great at doing certain things together (eg: discussing philosophy) There are 2 inherant goals to life: survive and reproduce (successfully). I was MGTOW for a while, still am technically, but I am very open minded at this time in my life so this will probably change. If there was a woman who I knew 100% would be loyal, honest to me about herself, not abusive but respectful, and could be committed even if I'm no longer as great as I once was, then I would know the answer to my original question.

Currently 19 years old, deciding whether or not I should set myself up for the possibility of a family later on, or whether I should set myself up for being single for the rest of my life. Thoughts? Pros and Cons for each? I'm an Omega male so getting laid isn't an option.

INTJ-A. Also, it was interesting to read the charts which were linked to earlier on in the thread. Does the personality cause the society to be a certain way or does the society cause the personalities to be a certain way? I would say that the natural environment causes genetic and personality changes to occur, Genetic changes also compound the personality changes and the personalities cause the society to be a certain way. Challenge me on that.

If there is no alternative, then I guess getting a degree would be worth it. It's quite simple and boils down to 2 options here: get a degree and get the job, or look for a different job whether that be in the same field or a different field which requires the same skills. I think those are your two best options here, but whatever you do, keep on trying new things to see what you are truly interested in.

Online Dating Profiles - Patterns
Spladam replied to NotDarkYet's topic in Men's Issues, Feminism and Gender
I just started doing online dating about 2 days ago and can already see that there are no girls on there from my country who are any good. None of them have any real sense of right and wrong, let alone any personal strengths or good looks :/ However, I found a girl from america who is basically a big yes except for them being too religious to date non-Catholics... but I can understand why. Ask yourself this: "why would a girl need to do online dating?" think about it, they can get a guy whenever they like, so why go online?
