No. Being a perpetual bachelor is not a new thing altogether. New era, different name. I never said I wasn't interested in interacting with women. I have women who are my friends. However, I'm also a loner. I only interact with anyone as much as I'm forced to. I avoid marriage and relationships altogether because I believe it is unbalanced and doesn't give me anything that I want out of life.
I don't want crotch-fruit of my own or others' makings in my life. I'm barely responsible for my cats - you expect me to raise children? Fuck that.
MGTOW is moreso about avoiding women altogether and self-insulating from them - for fear of false rape allegations, child support out of nowhere, and so on. I don't self-insulate from them, I work with them, and have them as my friends. I'm not worried about false rape allegations because I don't really interact with anyone in private settings. If someone wants to hang out, I have to get drug out of my home to a public place. I never just hang out with a single person - not out of some self-preservation instinct, it's just a waste of time for me if it's not multiple friends.
It's really not. In some areas of the country, it's actually -very- dangerous to let your girlfriend live with you - as you can be considered de facto married or in a marititious (sc) relationship. And she can actually bring you to court. In some states, it's legal to anonymously report or accuse someone of rape, domestic abuse, etc. and even get their licenses suspended.
Some areas have disproportionate laws in regard to this. People from those areas would do well to know the rules, especially if it can cost them so much. Especially "yes means yes" law where a woman can decide the next day they didn't want to have sex and accuse you of rape (has happened).
