Way back in the day, they were called 'bachelors'. And viewed with some suspicion. Mostly quite undeserved.
Today, these same people have been hijacked by what is known as MGTOW. Or 'Men Going Their Own Way'.
And the term has become one that causes even vicars to swear.
Let me tell you a story.
In a universe not a million light years from here, there was a man who has taken a long, hard look at life, and come to a few conclusions. So he posted a thread on a site that shall remain anonymous. And he wrote something similar to this.
Let us suppose I am a young man, single, successful in my work, happy as I am. I do not wish to have a steady girlfriend. And I have no wish to marry.
But I am not a misogynist I do like the company of women. But when one wants female company, this is often interpreted by the woman to be 'hitting' on her. or a precursor to either a long term relationship, or a one-night stand.
So how to get around the problem ?
I could get in touch with an agency and hire an escort. but I only want to share a pizza and a bit of conversation. And an escort would come very expensive.
But I do now a woman whom I get along well with. A sort of acquaintance.
Next time we meet I propose to suggest to her that she joins me for a pizza and a bottle of wine. It is not a date. I would just like the pleasure of her company for this meal.
I will, of course, be paying. And after the meal I will get her a taxi to wherever she wishes to go. I have some other things I have planned for later in the evening.
There are no strings attached, no obligations.
So, folks, what is so wrong with that ?
The so-called MGTOW reasoning will follow later if you would like to follow my thinking on this subject.
