This is an interesting community. I was linked here by a self-identified MGTOW person on BitChute. Lately, I've been seeking different communities online to engage in discussion with because I've found most of the mainstream communities haven't really been working for me.
I wouldn't describe myself as a MGTOW, nor MRA, nor RedPill, nor an Incel but I, a man, definitely have issues with women, feminism and how men's issues are treated by society. I think a lot of people here are being awfully harsh on the MGTOWs which highlights the problems I have with how dismissive society is of men's issues. All these communities exist for a reason, which is that these men aren't able to get fulfillment out of their lives under our current society's structure such that they turn to other people for support and this is how these communities are created. Dismissing the issues these men face I would say is quite ignorant and lacks compassion, though dismissing the solutions they come up with can be justified, especially if you have better solutions.
The root issue for all these men is being unable to attract women they find attractive. The solution the MGTOWs have come up with to this problem is to boycott the system and convince themselves they don't actually want to attract an attractive woman. It's not really a solution though because we all know these men do still deep down want to attract an attractive woman no matter the mental gymnastics they go through to deceive themselves into thinking that's not what they want. The community's solution to their problem reminds me of my friend in grade 6 who loved candy then fainted one day and was diagnosed with diabetes so he wasn't allowed to eat candy anymore. I asked him how he could handle not being able to eat candy anymore and his response was that he didn't like candy. It's a childish psychological trick to cope with situations out of people's control. MGTOWs know they can't change society and they know they can't get what they want from society the way it is so they've opted to change their perspective to avoid coming to terms with the fact that they will never truly get what they want out of life.
That to me still isn't a solution but rather a coping mechanism. That's why I think you are all being a little too harsh on MGTOW because it is a coping mechanism for men whose truths of their existence is that they will never find the fulfillment they seek out of life. For such a harsh reality, the need for a coping mechanism should be evident and we shouldn't be so dismissive of these men's coping mechanisms. If it helps them feel better about being unable to attract an attractive woman then that should be seen as a good thing and of all the communities this one seems the least adversarial, which should be viewed positively by the people who view these men's communities in a negative light.
