Actually, Men *Do* Like Independent Women Part 2

Or at least a lot of them would, if truly independent women weren’t so rare. It’s easy to talk the talk of being a “strong, independent womyn” but when it comes to walking the walk many women stumble and fall. Most don’t even know they’re doing it, but then are at a complete loss in the world of relationships. Here’s 3 more things that actual “strong, independent women” do.

“WGTOW” Is A Misappropriation

Hello, all.
A number of readers took some minor offense to my last post, or were confused by it, with good reason. It seemed as though I was supporting the sudden rash of women who have taken to calling themselves WGTOWs, or women going their own way. I want to clear this misconception up right now:

Do women ever Go Their Own Way?

Some do, they are few and far between. For the most part,women who are single past age 25-30 often write posts that speak more to a false sense of  “you go grrl” mentality or worse…a lamentation of “where have all the good men gone”.

Types of Singlehood

Are you single? If so, what type of single person are you? No, I don’t mean I want a list of personality traits…you can be an “adventurous” single woman or a “homebody” single man, but that’s not quite what I’m asking.

All The Single Ladies

In going over the data I have for MGTOWs that I’ve gotten so far, a pattern has begun to emerge. Namely, that a significant number of men going their own way who are single do not necessarily wish to be…in other words, they would like to be in a committed relationship but do not feel that the current divorce/alimony/custody laws are sufficiently fair (read: not fair at all) to warrant such a gamble. Hence, we of the Western world** have a subset of men who, under more equal circumstances, would actually prefer to be in loving marriages and LTRs with women. Of course, other MGTOWs are perfectly happy being bachelors and wouldn’t be interested in marriage or LTRs even with optimal conditions.

Lack Of Submission = Being A Bitch?

An interesting observation that I’ve made reading certain parts of the manosphere is that some (not all, and honestly not even a majority) of male bloggers/commenters have a huge misunderstanding of what constitutes “bitchy” behavior.

“Alone” Doesn’t Always Mean “Lonely”

Last week, I had a very telling conversation with the young lady who runs the tea shop by my workplace. She seemed upset, so naturally I asked her what was troubling her. This is the discussion that followed;

Why Going Your Own Way Isn’t A Bad Idea

Ever since I was very young, I’ve known that I was a loner. In 1st grade, my class had to make a collage with the theme “What will I Do in 20 Years”. Out of us 15 kids, I was the only one to not include something relating to marriage or children. This sparked a letter home to my mother, telling her that

The Cheese Stands Alone

As my 30th year of life approaches, I have more and more people asking me one of two questions; when will I marry and when will I have kids. My answer to them?

Never.
