If you have one ex and they were a piece of shit, the problem is the ex. If you have twenty exes and they were all shit, the problem is you. Most women are too solipsistic to realize this.
There is also the problem of online hookup apps, women have access to the top 10% of dudes but they end up getting pump and dumped because the top 10% of dudes have no shortage of poontang. Instead of settling with mr good enough they waste their youth chasing chad thundercock and then set their standards so high that they end up being cat mom spinsters. I have a number of exes who revealed to me that they had a bodycount over 20 when we dated, years later they're still riding the carousel, having learned absolutely nothing.
I don't do mgtow but I understand why it exists, it's basically a reactionary version of feminism for men who got fucked over by the current state of things. I know plenty who got divorce raped in courts, or they never get to see their kids but they pay 1500 a month in child support, it is all disgusting. In spite of all that my sister pays alimony to her ex husband because she makes six figs and he is a loser. Alimony is a crime.
The current legal state of things encourages men to be gay or trans. It's the only way they can gain equal legal rights to women.
I've said it before, but I'll repeat: My marriage is great. Certainly not perfect, but works quite well for us both. If she were to die, I probably wouldn't bother with marriage again. It's not useful, and being a man, the liability I'd assume is just not worth the risk. Hell, even dating isn't worth the risk, and to an extent, even dating or hookup apps aren't.
We're getting to a point in society where consent can be withdrawn after the fact, and suddenly it's "rape" even though she literally initiated every damned thing. I can't speak for anyone else, but I never particularly wish to be at that level of mercy of another human being. Because people aren't particularly merciful.
I don't trust men, and I trust women even less. If any given person believes they will gain advantage by making claims against me, they probably will. Therefore, I'd rather just avoid personal relationships. Easier to be a hermit than go through the legalities concerned.
Hopefully my wife outlives me so I don't have to worry about any of that shit.
