Men Going Their Own Way

So, there are some people - men - who have decided they don't want to be in relationships with women. They call themselves "men going their own way" or MGTOW for short.

These men have different reasons for making this decision. Some of them have had bad experiences with women in the past, and they don't want to risk getting hurt again. Others just prefer to be alone and focus on other things in their lives, like their careers or hobbies.

Basically, MGTOW is all about men choosing to live their lives on their own terms, without feeling like they have to conform to traditional gender roles or societal expectations. They believe that men and women are fundamentally different, and that trying to force them to be equal is a mistake.

Some people might think MGTOW is weird or selfish, but it's really just about people making choices that work best for them. Everyone has the right to live their life in a way that makes them happy, and MGTOW is one way some men have chosen to do that.
