Found this thread after searching the board to see if there was a general incel thread. Kinda surprised there isn't, but I guess this is close enough.
Not gonna lie, I dipped my toe in MGTOW-ism a while back when I stumbled across one of their videos while I was going through my unpleasant and very one-sided divorce, and their talk about how women exploit men struck a chord. But the sentiment quickly turned from "hooray, these guys can empathize with me" to "holy crap, look at these clowns." Neither now nor then, I can't rile up nearly as much vitriol against my ex-wife as these dweebs do against the abstract concept of women as a whole. And now, having survived the divorce experience (★☆☆☆☆ would give zero stars if I could), instead of dusting myself off and trying again, I'm instead supposed to just drop out of the game and satisfy my biology with prostitutes and sex dolls instead? Are you kidding me?
In particular, their complaints about how women may have goals of their own and may ask their partners to change as part of that just annoyed me. Women who are unmotivated and complacent and answer every question with "I dunno, what do you want to do?" bore the hell out of me. Maybe that's why some of them talk about sex dolls so much; they're basically door mats with orifices.
So I guess I dodged a bullet there, though it was a very large, slow-moving bullet flashing bright red.
