doing some research online...one question struck me
This question was asked by many many men....in fact there is now a movement that is still rather in its infancy and is growing "MGTOW" ....Men Go Their Own Way....With my research this is the first I heard of this movement.
Basically, this movement has a common question that men seem to ask...
With divorce favoring women as much as it does...what benefit is there for a man to become married?
Anyway....I am still doing my research and poking around on the internet....but found this interesting.
Any take on this?
Any answer to that question?

Only benifits after divorce is getting out of bad situation.
Marriage in most cases is loving and lasts, the ones that don,t is sad but no-one benifits because both parties left with hangups and could be hard to move on to better life------baggage comes to mind
Perhaps we are Onthecrest. lol
Anyway, with this new movement....it seems like that mindset among men is catching on.
Good stuff there....and I kinda think you have a grasp on the ideals of companionship for many these days....in regards to men and women both.
The research I have done and the information I have gained, they report that the number of divorces are going down...but so are those who are getting married today. The divorce rate here is about 50% whereas some other countries, it is up to 70%.
It boils down to a flip of a coin....hmmm....
With what divorce brings....is it worth getting married for a coin flip?
Even divorced men believe in this code.
MGTOW discusses the survival scenarios of the women specifically.
Not for the faint of heart,it's basis can be found in war torn countries or third world strategies where women must be armed.
were relating the topic to feminism.
It is several important themes beyond that,when one is choosing to be solely responsible for women and children in survival,urban combat.It covers many scenarios if brutality that I think our recently returned veterans have faced.
These types are typically military or security personnel with training.
Best Wishes...Ash.
This very short clip shows how MGTOW is misunderstood,and is not discussed in context to further impart the true meaning.
It is not relevant to feminism or #metoo or cultural differences in equality at all.
It is a militarily based ideology that addresses the survival of mankind after an impending disaster were the monetary system crashes and people are scavenging.It deals with people in hiding,mobility and living off the grid.
The men aren't thwarting women and are training them to defend themselves against the primary survivors,the fittest and most prepared.And their role among them will be as comrades and carry a brutal reality.These men are unique and not ready to have their possessions and families taken by force from them.
Have they established themselves,yes.
Is our government comfortable with their mobile compounds,no.
Is it reminiscent of the fallout shelters people invested in,yes.
Does this have anything to do with relationships changing..only if you intend to enter this system.
Is it like Jihads raping and/or training women,no.
So I will leave those reading my comments to their own ponderings.
Yes...a lot of people are preferring cohabitation these days. Unfortunately, in some circumstances, marriage is required.
I just heard about the MGTOW movement and the briefness of its introduction to me had nothing to do with a military aspect....but...from what you have commented later on, maybe it has something to do with something else.
I hope life is treating you well Ash...very nice to hear from you here.
I am very sorry to hear about your husband and how he treated you and your children. That is very sad. I too agree that both parents should be involved in the child(ren)'s life. Especially now....if there is no defined bread winner and no defined home maker....in other words if both parents work, then duties (I think) need to be changed to reflect that way of being.
I agree about just about everything in life has a risk...but there are some things that carry a bigger risks than others. In addition, there are some things, that are extremely difficult to do a risk assessment on determine an appropriate risk/reward calculation.
lol
I know.....like Molly says, something about romance and numbers...or something....it really is like water and oil....but there are some risk that are outright hardly reasonable.....or in my words, "insane."
Robert...I am starting to think that you are me and I am you.
Your white figure mixed in with Ash's with figure....therefore, somehow, I missed your comment...when doing my responses. But, I did read your response before commenting back...so, I knew you were in there somewhere.
Anyway...good question, where are the MGTOW men going? I gather they are just loving and leaving women on a very frequent basis...I think anyway.
I agree with you...about matters of the heart and the legal system..and I am finding out that this whole foreign country love has a lot of heart and legal system connections.
Pardon me,
I want to say "Hi to Ashy, And Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas."
Now eh Johnny, what is migtow ? Sounds like a special dish at a Chinese restaurant or something.
And remember, don't believe everything you see or read or hear on TV, newspaper, utube, etc .. but do believe what you read on the blogs.
Speaking of not believing what you read....
I went out earlier today and was looking to buy some book ends. Would you believe, I asked 3 different employees at two different stores, and none of them knew what book ends were.
lol
Just a little something for you to ponder my friend.
I swear Robert...
....we might be the same people....
We both ended our comments with the grin emoji
You and Robert Do Favor A Lot In Those Photos...
Brother's?.....
I Know! Right.....
Thank you Johnny for well balanced reply. Have a good day
Well...perhaps society needs to address the inequities of pay...regarding gender...why else would women care so much about money...a concern of women is that their partner is financially stable...rearing children is not paid for...women spend time caring for their children and other loved ones that is not paid for...loss of promotions in their careers etc tend to leave women poorer as a result...
Hopefully time will correct the inequities in life and men and women will be able to have a better balanced life together or separate...
Here is the extensive compendium.
There! I should have previewed it first.
Everything's up- to- date and globally referenced.
"Herbivore" men, also known as grass eaters, are a recent phenomenon in Japan of males eschewing social expectations to pursue relationships, marriage, or a family, concentrating instead on a single life. Men Going Their Own Way are obsessed with the herbivore men, whom they insist are part of their own movement, regardless of the differing social and cultural factors at play in Japan — even going so far as to speculate about why feminism has such a notable impact in Japan. In fact, the social pressures to marry in Japan (and many other cultures) are very un-feminist and apply to both genders, though males are somewhat better placed to defy these expectations.
