So over on MGTOWforums, the regulars are pondering the age-old question – should these committed women-avoiders deal with their continued desire to stick their penises in the women they’re allegedly avoiding by resorting to prostitutes?
In the midst of a lively discussion on the advantages of “going pro” over trying to pick up a “bar hog,” one regular by the nom de internet Xtc sets forth some thoughts that, for a moment at least, seem to transcend the usual MGTOW crudity and bitterness.
“I don’t think it’s really about sex,” he writes. “I think what a lot of people are looking for is love, respect, and intimacy – which you can’t buy.”
Why, that almost seems like an insight!
Alas, in his very next sentence he spoils the moment by returning to the standard MGTOW narrative of female perfidy:
I think what put me off women altogether was the realisation that you’ll NEVER get [love, respect, and intimacy] for real. It’s sad and sobering, but that’s the way it is.
Thinking that the attention of women validates you as a person collapses once you realise they are attracted to the worst qualities in the worst men.
Thinking that the attention of women equals affection, intimacy, or love – collapses once you realise they will leave you in a second if they sense any weakness or if a BBD [bigger better deal] comes along. Then you’ll realise that the meter was running all the time, whether this was clear at the time or not.
Women are like a bitter medicine that you force yourself to swallow because you believe it is doing you good. Once you realise it’s a quack remedy, and the whole thing is a scam, you’re free to spit it out and never partake again.
That leaves you with sex alone, which is really rather easy to come by.
If women really and truly are “attracted to the worst qualities of the worst men,” why aren’t they lining up at these dudes’ front doors?
You know how you heal? You stop obsessing over a relationship that didn’t work out and you move on. You do not go around looking for random groups of women to drag into your personal drama, or project that drama onto the dating marketplace as a whole.
Dude, seriously, what part of “GO AWAY” do you not understand?
@ Cassandra:
Hahahahaha!!!! Beautiful. “The Sleeper has awakened!!!”
OMG BOB. GO AWAY. WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE.
My god, he’s as bad as Tom Martin for sheer verbosity!
Holy shit, Bob. We no longer want to talk about your problem. You can’t understand why? Fuck.
Well, you see, he came here, discovered that he could get some attention from some women who were a captive audience, and then this happened.
(Yes, Bob, I am going to keep mocking you with silly videos until you go away.)
We’re not going to validate you, Bob. Go away.
*applause*
So, anyway, back to the booze conversation. What’s the weirdest thing that anyone has ever kept in their liquor cabinet?
Strega. It’s a thick spirit made of saffron. It soothing after a heavy meal. Strega means witch in Italian, by the way. So when you order it after a meal, you ask for “the witch.”
It’s not weird, because it’s too awesome, but violet syrup. I have to order it online because no bottle shops are awesome/weird enough to stock it. Of course someone is probably going to say they keep a baby alligator in theirs and make me look very mundane…
But here is a recipe that I made up for a royal cocktail (I invented it the night of the latest royal wedding and has a royally feel to it).
violet syrup, chambord, vodka and lemonade mixed over ice. Or shaken with ice and drunk out of a fancy glass.
It’s a delightful purpley colour.
*de-lurking for a moment* Love the bengal kitty video. 🙂 Weirdest thing in my liquor cabinet was a bottle of habu sake. It’s special sake from Okinawa that uses extract from the habu snake. What was weird about this bottle was that mine had an actual snake in it. 😀
I can’t think of anything especially weird I’ve ever kept in mine. The weirdest thing is probably an ancient bottle of green cream de menthe that I don’t remember why I bought.
I also have a jar of homemade vegan Irish cream in my freezer that I need to thaw out and drink this week. I’m trying to empty out my refrigerator and freezer as much as possible before I order a new one.
The grossest liquor I’ve had was a premixed drink – a bottle of Smirnoff Tuscan lemonade. It tasted like vodka + dollar store lemonade mix. Even the name “Tuscan lemonade” makes me shudder now. I poured most of it down the sink.
That sounds absolutely delicious.
Sadly, I have exactly zero of those ingredients (well, okay, I have ice), or I’d try it right now.
The weirdest booze I have on hand is Amarula, which is probably not particularly weird to South Africans but is pretty weird to people from the American Midwest. It’s fairly tasty.
I’ve seen bottles of that stuff (Amarula)on the shelves for years, but never got around to trying it. It’s a cream liqueur, isn’t it?
Just clicked on the link. That’s definitely going on my to try list. 🙂

Late to the party, but:
“Bob’s eyes teared up with silent tears of silent sadness. The women would never understand. No woman would ever understand him! Then, suddenly, his sad eyes met those of another poster, whose tragically romantic fuckwittery nearly matched his own. Their manly gazes met in a manly way and an electric spark of manliness flew between them. Could it be? Could this verbose new troll heal his cruelly shattered heart? Could Diogenes be the one?”
Just read the whole thread.
Why oh why did I just read the whole thread? I feel like a part of me died inside.
Weird alcohol:
-151 proof everclear
-homebrew beer
-honey beer
-peppermint schnapps 110 proof
-Arak
Although the last thing isn’t weird if you’re used to Middle-Eastern food, I guess.
*raises imaginary glass of booze*
To you, LBT. 😀

Genuinely funny, but I’m not a troll. Nor am I verbose.
Did you read about my dating from the other site?
Violet syrup sounds tasty. I am fond of rose syrup, though all the ways I know of to use it are Arab, so no surprise that none of them are boozy. Snake sake – NO. Not because of the sake, because of the snake. I’ve eaten alligator, and reptiles and I do not get along.
Beer cocktails – why? Beer does not go with other booze. I had snakebite as a teenager (Brit drink – beer mixed with cider) and blech.
How do you make vegan Irish creme? What makes it creamy?
As far as more tasty things to keep on hand, I used to have ginger-infused soju, but I drank it all. I need to make some more soon.
Cassandra, it’s creamy from powdered soymilk, a little water, some sugar and some coconut milk. I was basing it off a dairy-ful recipe from my sister that had sweetened condensed milk, half and half, and coconut extract in it. Then Irish whiskey, of course, some cocoa powder and some instant coffee granules.
