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.
Oh holy hell, wordsp1nner, that’s terrible and horrifying. 🙁
I hereby offer up this cheesy 80’s music video in order to bring about world peace. Also, it’s may favorite 80’s one hot wonder. Also, it’s a so g about chess from a musical about chess. Also, there’s misandry at the end.

words1nner – I saw that “hypergamy” in the RS story and nearly fell over laughing. Schlafy must be aiming to be a gramMRA.
:ducks:
Oh wow. As scott1139 mentioned, the “about” page sure is…
Something.
That should be “rejecting”, not ejecting, because ejecting implies a jetpack (as someone once told me). I think it’s spelled manifestation. I think it’s impossible to look at “no one else” for “social cues”, since you take social cues from other people. I don’ think you can manifest the word no when you eject something, because that implies a void with nothing else in it, while what they want to be all about is their own social grace. Refusing to bow, kneel and serve for the oppertunity to be treated is an odd, weird, strange phrase I would rather have been different. Why the and with a comma?
2 / 10, message was unclear.
HAPPINESS IS AN EAGLE
The reason an eagle doesn’t worry about the wind is because it can’t, it lacks (according to brain size studies and neurological interviews of animals) a prognosticative mindset. How is deep roots and giving up freedom connected with going your own way? That’s only true for some species of fish, especially and generally those regarded as bottom-feeders – which I find both symbolically and metaphorically appropriate, that is true.
Mountains of poon, yet no caring for the “modern feminist”. Mountains of poon, yet the glossary defines a slut as “Slut: Any woman who gives a man complete sexual access without first securing proof of that man’s commitment to providing ongoing resources – regardless of how frequently or infrequently she engages in such behavior. For the male version of a slut, see White Knight.”, which seem at best counter-intuitive.
Mountains of poon, yet the glossary definition of promiscuity spells Holy Matrimony with capitals.
(No, really, it does: “Promiscuity: The act of having a sexual relationship with anyone outside of the bonds of Holy Matrimony. While the definition of promiscuity is the same for men as it is for women, the ease of access and the resulting consequences are vastly different for the two genders, which often leads women and beta males to the false assumption that there is a double standard.”)
Mountains of poon yet— wait what. What’s that last line I’ve selectively cropped out say?
Woah.
wooooaaaah.
That… That’s kind of sad, yeah? Wow. All this antipathy, rage and acrimony from sad automatons who was promised their grand efforts would land them wife, work and wonder and then found out at some point that being a hollow, angry shell of a human puppet obsessed with status won’t endear you to anyone else and now it’s just being upset about their perceived betrayal by all those evil other things they can no longer support with their holy hands.
Jeez.
One Night in Bangkok? Wheee!
Here’s another, just the song, not a video — “Mexican Radio” by Wall of Voodoo.
That’s like saying they don’t look to other people for hugs. Nah, not us, we’re independent men, we’ll just be over here hugging ourselves while trolling YT.
Oh, dear. The glossary.
“Statistically significant” is only meaningful in the context of comparison. Basically, it means whatever the two statistics/groups/theories you are comparing are very unlikely to be the same*. You have a statistically significant percentage of .001%. You can have a statistically significant difference of .001% between groups, but you’d have to have a huge-ass sample.
What he probably meant was something more along the line of socially significant, but still… if 1% of the population is a serial killer, that is pretty damn socially significant, so it is still meaningless.
*Typically, you are either comparing groups to each other (i.e., comparing heights between men and women) or comparing actual samples to a theoretical constructions, i.e., deciding whether a coin is fair by comparing the result to a binomial distribution where p=5. Sample size is hugely important–60% heads means nothing if you don’t know if that is out of 5 tosses or 5 thousand.
What I meant to quote:
And it is supposed to be p = 0.5.
I’ve had run-ins with this guy. He’s miserable and desperate. A total Zen experience.
Hugging themselves is one way to describe it.
House Mouse Queen, I am astonished to hear he’s miserable and desperate – just totes astonished, I say!
@wordsp1nner
That Doug Phillips story, wow. Yet another example of how, once you start thinking you’re above the rules of human decency because you have the Truth and everyone else is Tainted by Evil, abuse inevitably follows.
The quote that stood out for me was “He further repeatedly told Ms. Torres that he loved her, that he would take care of her, and that what they were doing was not wrong. He also stated that if it was wrong, it was completely her fault.”
David, not sure if you had seen this, quite interesting, (I believe the survey has closed now): http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/04/15/confirmed-mens-rights-activism-is-for-misogynists-without-god/
Huh? What immediate families? If they’re married, then these two statements don’t belong together (and they’re not MGTOW). If they’re divorced with kids, they’re not providing, they’re figuring out ways to stiff the ex-wife and kids on child support. If they’re single, then who are they talking about? Parents and siblings? The OP was complaining bitterly on one comment thread about his sisters and how they mistreated (ie failed to worship) him. I doubt they have much love for their mothers, either.
The only part of that sentence that doesn’t ring false is “ourselves”. The rest is a travel-brochure come-on designed to make a life of ramen noodles, bitter YouTube tantrums, and weepy masturbation sound alluring to men who might be on the fence. One look at that video should be enough to convince them that regular human interaction is, in fact, A Very Good Thing.
Conquering mountains of poon?
There it is again. Sex isn’t a team sport for these guys. It’s something you take from a woman. Something the MRAs, PUAs and MGTOW have in common is that they manage to take something fun that most people really enjoy and make is sound disgusting and abusive. And…”Conquer”? Really? As if getting laid was as much of a dangerous challenge as sacking Byzantium. I don’t care how exciting your sex life is, you aren’t Genghis Khan. It’s just sex.
Ew. From that glossary:
Her: What the… What’s this box?
Him: That’s my Bitch Bin:
Her: The what now? Why is it full of hairbrushes, hair ties, and what appears to be several used lipsticks?
Him: They’re all the items left behind by all the women I sleep with. Oh yeah.
Her: You… you keep stuff from women you sleep with… in a box… which you call the bitch bin.
I… hang on a second, is that my lipstick? It is! I thought I lost it, but it’s here. You took my lipstick and put it in this thing? What’s wrong with you?
Him: It’s what Alpha Men do, baby.
Her: TAKE ME NOW YOU RUGGED MAN, YOU!
A completely plausible scenario, yup.
@leatapp
Well, it kind of is, but the other players aren’t women, they’re the other men they brag to. Women are the ball.
And the women they take it from have to be reluctant, at best. It’s no challenge for these guys to be lousy in the sack and get written off as “never again”; that would be their default state. No, for them to be Real Men they have to make it worse than that.
The funniest part of the misogynist line of thinking is that all straight women are cock craving whores and sluts with only basic animal instincts, but getting a straight or bi woman to have sex with you is seen as the hardest thing in the world because women just don’t enjoy or desire sex. That’s some impressive cognitive dissonance. It really shines a light on their belief that straight and bi women are having sex with the wrong sort of men (aka not them). That they can’t trick or trap a woman into being with them is what really pisses them off. Other people’s happiness, be it in a romantic relationship(s) or without makes them so angry that they tie themselves in mental knots to find ways to see the happy folks grapes as sour.
Married? Fools! You’ll be miserable soon!
Staying single, while being female? Fools! Misery for you!
Single but having fulfilling sexual relationships? Did I mention the misery? Oh, it’s coming. You’ll see!…also…Fools!
I can imagine that if you invited one of these guys to a kid’s party, they’d run around popping the children’s balloons and yelling, “There is no Easter Bunny! That cake will be gone soon and then you’ll all starve! DOOOOOOM!”
Tim, cry more. I have a new batch of skin cream to make, and man tears add that special something.
I’m not going to lie, I’ve got some pretty major schadenfreude about the Doug Philips/Bill Gothard meltdowns. They put on such big, holy faces of piety and sweeping talk about cultural issues but they were both nothing but dirty ol men at the end of the day.
My sympathy to the victims, though: it sounds like both those guys sought out family ministries so they’d have a readymade supply of sexual victims to groom to taste from childhood. Ick.
Aaaaaand THIS is why I don’t give a shit for “peace offerings” from misogynists who can’t even write woman, only “fe-male” (yecch). I am not a fucking Poon Mountain to be “conquered”, I am a PERSON to be treated equally. And if you don’t want to see me as such, there can be no peace between us.
Fuck you, Timbo, and fuck the sanctimonious horse you rode in on.
Picking just one thing out of that steaming pile of crap on thoughtcatalog. . . . are there any women here who have actually been able to “cry their way out of a speeding ticket?” Is that even really a thing that happens or it that just an “eek an mouse” kind of urban legend stereotype?
I’ve never gotten a speeding ticket, but I think that has a lot less to do with female privilege than the fact that I don’t speed.
Also, I am getting increasingly disgusted by the way these “men rights” types have a habit of referring to children as “it”s.
Poor MGTOW. Their threats that women will age (!!) and be alone forever (!!!!) might have a bit more impact if the rest of us didn’t, you know, live in the world, where we can see happily partnered people of all genders and ages, as well as many happily unpartnered people. I know plenty of women that began relationships in their 40s, 50s, 60s.
