If you’ve ever wondered what the carefree, unencumbered-by-women-and-their-cooties life of a true Man Going His Own Way looks like, you’re in luck, as the video above presents ACTUAL FOOTAGE of just this. Apparently, Going Your Own Way looks an awful lot like Hanging Around and Pestering, at least if you’re Vention1MGTOW, a YouTube videoblogger who regularly offers up little glimpses into his awesome life.
In the video above, our hero, in between fits of giggles, gleefully relates how he “trolled” a cutsey YouTube video showing a high school coach who’d gotten his team to help him propose to his girlfriend. Vention1MGTOW did his best to ruin the mood by posting “a few strategic comments” (that is, endless screeds) attacking marriage and women and, well, you know the drill. My favorite line from his comments, which he proudly reads aloud:
I’m sure some old wrinkled up, STD, ex-party party girl would love to move into my home and begin diverting my income for her own use but I don’t really see a benefit for me in that deal.
I hate to break it to you, dude, but I’m pretty sure even the most thoroughly wrinkled-up ex-party girl would rather die alone and unloved than have to put up with you. Hell, I’m pretty sure the only reason your dog (he has a dog) puts up with you is because he has no idea what you’re saying.
If you check out the coach’s video, you can see that a whole swarm of MGTOWers have descended upon the comments. Vention1MGTOW’s comments are actually some of the more polite from that bunch.
Vention1MGTOW – from his choice of snack (ramen noodles) to his, er, casual sense of interior decoration – seems like such a perfect embodiment of MGTOWer stereotypes that it’s hard to believe he’s for real. But he is. He’s got 82 videos up on his YouTube channel detailing his various obsessions: MGTOW, Bitcoins, hugelkultur gardening, doomsday prepping. Oh, and he’s got a Segway.
If the video above merely whetted your appetite for more of Vention1MGTOW’s trolling, here’s a video in which he successfully infiltrates the YouTube comments for an Enya video in order to inform the women there that they’re all going to get old and ugly and no one will want them.
I may have to come back to him again later. He’s a charmer.
Many thanks to the unknown hero on Reddit who brought this fellow to my attention.
Yup. My first thought was “take away all her money and send her back to the kitchen, then!” Because if you don’t practice what you preach, what does that make you?
grumpycat – yeah, I saw Schlafy’s latest rubbish on RS. She reckons men don’t like marrying women who earn more than them so there should be a bigger wage gap. Evidently there’s no such thing as men who’re not insecure misogynists, or women who actually need to earn a living for themselves, or equal pay for equal work even in theory, or people who aren’t into marrying or otherwise partnering people of the opposite sex, or, or, or …
I think I see where this is going. The next step is for him to post a video where he deletes all the negative comments from this video, while chuckling: “Now no one will be able to see your opinion, haw-haw!”. Then he’ll do a “making of” video for that video where he demonstrates all his early attempts to figure out how to delete comments.
We’re well past of the simple Red Pill/Blue Pill paradigm of “The Matrix”. We’re going straight down the rabbit hole into “Inception”!
Anyway, what are we talking about? Oh, Papa John’s. I ordered from there once, right after they opened an outlet in my neighborhood. When I picked up the first slice, the toppings slid off into the box and I was left holding an empty triangle of crust. How is that even possible? It wasn’t any hotter than the usual delivered pizza.
Chaos Engineer – cor, I’ve had a few dud pizzas in my time, but that’s … yeah, how is that even possible?
Teflon Toppings, the ones that won’t stick to anything.
Jumpy the dog looks enough like one of my dogs that they could be litter mates! But my boy is a former shelter dog whose brain got sort of broken from his long incarceration, so even though he knows some tricks, we consider his most impressive achievement to be his amazing “not-completely-losing-my-shit-at-every-damned-pedestrian-I-see” behavior. So that part is different.
Woa! Woa! I present a video in the hope of bringing ManBoobz and MGTOW together in unity and peace and all you can do is insult me!? Is that any way to treat a newcomer to this forum?! Well…I don’t know what to say! I most certainly didn’t expect this! Surely we can overcome our differences!
Watch the video again – but this time – really, really listen! This is a peace offering from MGTOW to ManBoobz! Honest! I’ve been sent as an ambassador of peace! Surely you can see this!

My very first attempt at bringing our little, harmony loving, non-misandric/non-mysogynistic communities together was obviously a great failure – over a single video featuring modern male/fe-male interaction?! I am rendered utterly and completely speechless!
We obviously have a long, long way to go to bridge our differences! I sense a bit of tension between us! Let us work together in love and peace to rebuild our broken bridges! It’s the future of humanity (or, if you prefer, hufemity) we’re taking about here!
Tim, actually we just kind of don’t care about you, and wish you would really go away. For real, instead of just play acting. Go your own way already.
Tim Murphy: You’re back? Again?
You fail at going your own way.
And Pizza Hut has really upped its game recently. It’s pretty damned good.
I just realised I know quite a lot of Men Who Have Gone Their Own Way – some of them are gay, of course, so are happily Going along with other men. One is one of my best friends – and he’s my husband’s best friend. He’s just doing his own thing. Another is the father of a teenage girl so Goes His Way in company.
Most of them are feminists, and have found that feminism allows them to escape the dictated male role, so they’re happy about that.
None of them rant on about MWAHAHAHA YOU’LL ONE DAY BE FIFTY, admittedly.
@Tim Murphy:
Taking a page from Tolkien here: we will have peace when your kind actually goes your own way and leave the rest of us alone.
RE: Tim Murphy

Yes. I totally believe you. Sure I do. Uh huh.
Is that any way to treat a newcomer to this forum?
The site tagline is “Misogyny, I mock it.” We mock people. And yet you seem surprised.
This is a peace offering from MGTOW to ManBoobz! Honest!
You have yet to explain why or how or why we should believe you.
I am rendered utterly and completely speechless!
And yet you speechlessly write four paragraphs.
Let us work together in love and peace to rebuild our broken bridges!
I see lots of talkin’, but no walkin’. Seriously, we’re supposed to get all this from a pop song? Can I become buddies with you if I post queercore or feminist metal?
From Tim’s link:
help I think I sprained something laughing too much. I can’t feel my legs
@LBT
“chronic assholism” XD I wish there really was a medicine that could cure it… :/
@Tim Murphy
So, I just read most of what’s listed under the “About” tab on the website you linked to. Have you read it, Tim? There’s some pretty messed up stuff in there.
Scott, how could you possibly doubt Tim Murphy’s act of good faith! Look at all the things he’s done to convince us of our good will! Like… like saying he’s here in good faith! A lot of times! Think of all the keyboard-tapping he had to do!
I mean, he’s just BLEEDING earnestness, ain’t he?
Don’t cry, Tim, we love you really. Here, have a welcome package designed to acknowledge the pain you suffer as a man watching YouTube.

(Yay recycling.)
Lol! You’re wonderful, LBT. ^_^
Unfortunately, I just finished reading the glossary page on that mgtow site. :/
List of groups they define as not-people: women, fat people, men who disagree with them 🙁
They are truly despicable…
Another dog going his own way. His own way in this case being forward and then straight up into the air.
No, they are enlighted by MANPHIPHANIES shooting up in their brains STRAIGHT FROM THEIR BALLS.
Look Tim, I can randomly post songs too!
Whoooa, pathetic.
We get it dude, the prospect of growing older alone and unloved has driven you, errr, totally weird (bitter, freakishly off-putting) in the most unamusing and uninteresting way possible.
Your fucked up giggling is a subsititute for the tears you would rather shed but don’t have the courage to show. Why not display a gun on your tabletop instead? Misters with handguns can’t be vulnerable, right? It’ll make up for the fact that you feel utterly alone in the universe based on your inability to be a likeable human being.
People who enjoy being single — and I know a shit load who do, don’t think about strangers on YouTube getting engaged. They don’t have a lot of venom at all for others who are enjoying their lives — because they are too busy enjoying theirs.
I hope the dog is treated well.
Uh, MGTOW dudes, hope you approve of this guy. He is you, you are him. He’s one of your spokesmen now.
I’m very pleased that there are more women embracing the single life than settling for/ and or attempting to reform a creepy-ass tool like him. Women have better things to do, thank god.
Aw, Tim, I’m sorry everyone else is jumping all over you. I know that you offered that video as an honest gesture of goodwill (and that you didn’t know that your example of “modern” interaction is in fact 44 years old). I will offer another music video demonstrating male-female interaction in reply, as my own personal gesture of goodwill.
Why did Tim write female as fe-male? By the way? Hmm.
Schlafly used the term “hypergamy”. That is the problem with the manosphere–they export their crap to the right-wing assholes, and that is the last thing we need.
On the topic of right-wing assholes, Doug Phillips, one of the founders of one of the big “Christian Patriarchy” organizations, Vision Forum, resigned a few months back over an “inappropriate relationship.”
Well, the details have come out, and “inappropriate relationship” is not really the term for grooming and sexually assaulting your unpaid live-in nanny, and now she’s suing his ass.
Libby Ann has been following this case, and here’s her report on this:
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejoyfeminism/2014/04/doug-phillips-the-rest-of-the-story.html
Right Wing Watch has more excerpts from the filings. The quote I think sums up the whole mess is this:
From here: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/religious-right-leader-sued-sexual-battery-treating-young-follower-personal-sex-object
Anyway, this account just proves what I’ve long suspected: in patriarchy as stated, both men and women have “complementary” rights and responsibilities. In patriarchy as lived, men have rights and women have responsibilities–she’s responsible for his misbehavior, despite having no socially-sanctioned method of changing it.
Out of curiosity I just had to read that stupid glossary too. Yikes. Apparently, a good girl who withholds sex is a whore because she’s trying to extract a high price for sex. Yet a woman who has casual sex is a slut. So all women are either whores or sluts. Lovely.
