In the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, a wise elder who calls himself lonewolf-chicago warns his younger colleagues to watch out for the insidious danger of … women who dye their hair. You may think these women look hot, he tells the assembled MGTOWs, but they don’t look hot, because their hair is a LIE! Also, he notes, his ex-wife has a fat butt.
Let’s hear him out:
I’m an older guy. I’m 45 and there are no women anywhere close to my age that doesn’t dye their hair. Some have pretty faces a few are even fit but they all died their hair.
If they did not dye their hair all of them would look like old ladies. All of them. So just this one act of dying their hair conceals at least 10 years of age.
Damn these women for trying to look their best!
So if a woman is 35 or 40 and she dyes her hair you have to imagine what she looks like without her hair dyed.
Er, why exactly do you have to do this?
I am 45 I have very little gray hair I do not wear makeup… obviously, but women my age smile and become coy when they get carded at a restaurant or at a bar even though it’s only because the Law States the bouncers must card everyone who walks in the place.
Their narcissism makes them believe that it’s because they still look young. But it’s only because they dye their hair.
Wait, I thought it was because the bouncers have to card everyone. Keep it together, man, you’re losing it!
One of my Ex-Wives friend has been almost totally gray since she was 30 years old she’s 44 years old now she is a hairdresser. She is attractive but she dyes her hair which means she’s not attractive … she hit the wall at 30.
It’s like a MGTOW Koan: What is the sound of one women who is attractive but also not attractive?
If you didn’t look at my ex-wife’s ass and the horrible fat lard cottage cheese on the back of her legs you would say that she’s attractive. She has humongous tits but her nipples never come out… so they are basically a big slab of fat. She dyes her hair. She would not look pretty if she did not dye her hair she would look like an old lady.
Somehow I don’t think this woman really regrets kicking this guy to the curb.
Women are narcissists and they live in a fantasy world. They think what they look like with colored hair and makeup and those undergarments that suck in all the fat is how they actually look. They live in a fantasy land.
Have you guys gotten the picture yet? Do you get it? Women over 40 for sure do not look like they actually look. It’s fucking makeup. It’s fake.
WOMEN OVER 40 DO NOT LOOK LIKE THEY ACTUALLY LOOK.
You heard it here first.
Oh, blow it out your ass, sparky.
Sweet buttery Jesus, I hope someone ties his dick into a knot and puts a lock on it.
Of course, in other news, I have dyed my hair radical purple and that plus my age means I’m like SJW Hag or something.
Pshhht. My field of fucks given continues to be barren.
@Skiriki
Oh nice, perfect for repelling the wild MGTOW.

IF YOU DO LITERALLY ANYTHING AT ALL TO IMPROVE YOUR APPEARANCE TO YOU AREN’T REALLY HOT
IT MAKES ME SO FURIOUS
Even these so-called “women” who haven’t ever “died” their hair still bathe and take showers! that’s just lies! i know how you REALLY smell! and what about the removal of body hair so many of them do!? if you can’t have naturally smooth legs and arm pits without the assistance of creams or razors, you might as well be a goddamn fur-coated monkey as far as i’m concerned!
and clothes!? don’t get me started about the horrible foul illusions these witches weave by wearing clothes that look “nice” on their “bodies”! if you can’t be an HB8 while wearing a sack-cloth monk’s robe, you can fuck right off!
i’m not even going to touch the evils of oral hygiene and hair styling.
Women are horrible if they try to look conventionally attractive. Women are horrible if they don’t try to look conventionally attractive. Men are fine no matter what they look like. What else is new?
I’m sure Mr. Lonewolf-Chicago is the picture of manliness what with all the not grey hair and all.
I’ll be 47 in a few weeks and haven’t gone grey yet, but when I do, I’m dying it lavender. That should keep them away.
I also love how he says women are narcissistic all the while complaining that women do things that is not exactly what he wants. For once I’d like one of these guys to have just a little bit (maybe a tiny amount would be more manageable) of self awareness.
Why the fuck do they keep thinking anyone cares what they think is attractive?
Nobody is trying to impress mgtows but other mgtows.
For once I’m willing to believe this is a MGTOW who’s as old as he claims and has actually been married.
I can’t help but think though his rant is a combination of trying to persuade himself, and perhaps others, that he’s glad his wife dumped him; and also panic that she’s so much better off without him. This very much reads like “Please don’t date my ex. She’s not really as attractive as she seems. Honest!”
So, men dye their hair too. That MUST mean they’re all hideous slug monsters with a hunger for human flesh. The hair dye just makes them look human enough to try to eat human feeeemales.
I mean, if you see a man who’s over the wall (which is OBVIOUSLY when they turn 20, I mean, who the fuck wants to date a man old enough to drink, am I right fellow females???) it’s obvious he dyes his hair, so you HAVE TO wonder (by government mandate, hail Katie) what kind of hideous slug monster he looks like when his hair isn’t dyed.
I mean, I don’t have an ex-husband, but if I did he’d clearly be a hideous green slug with a head full of ugly gray hair.
Clearly men are narcissists because society tells them they have to dye their hair to be taken seriously.
I mean, look at George Clooney! Clearly a washup well past his prime!

This reminds me of the scene in “The Name of the Rose” where the old monk is telling the young monk to focus on how gross the girl is inside, where it really counts.
I’m not sure why, but I’m always amazed at just how blatant the misogyny of the MGTOW subreddit is.
yeah, my less sarcastic non-fake-mgtow response is just: what the fuck people? where’s the line? you expect women to look nice and shave their legs and wear makeup, but oh god not TOO MUCH makeup, and dress up, but dear lord don’t dress up in THAT because… what? it does too much to improve your appearance?
i just don’t fucking get it. there’s some hidden line that once you cross it you’re no longer trying to look your best but LYING about how you REALLY look. how… how does that work? if you look like that then you look like that. just what is this shit?
Isn’t he the actor chappie who’s married to Amal Alamuddin?
(I know I’ve said that before, but it tickles me that that’s how the Bar see him)
*has dyed hair*
Yep, the fact that my hair is a dark auburn is proof that I’m really some kind of snail, or maybe a large catfish.
YOU ARE DIVINE! THAT WAS AWESOME!

Oh FYI, Joss Whedon’s days as a public “feminist” seem to be over with this thing: http://www.thewrap.com/joss-whedon-feminist-hypocrite-infidelity-affairs-ex-wife-kai-cole-says/
Kai Cole (ex-wife) spills the beans.
YOU AS WELL! DIVINE!
I’m over 40. I do not dye my hair. So, by his logic, either (1) I am not really over 40; or (2) I do dye my hair and I am either lying or deluded when I say I don’t.
I am, in fact, over 50. And I have very little gray hair. And am not bothered by what I have, because I do not assume there is something wrong with being over 50 or having gray hair. These are both things that just are.
Most women I know that are 45 do not look “old” – they may look middle aged, and some of them may look old, and some of them may look young, but so what? If he’s 45, why does he expect to be attractive to women in their 20s, anyway? Maybe these young women would prefer a younger man. Maybe they feel that men “hit the wall” at 30. Or maybe they don’t. Try being a decent human being if you want them to be interested in you – and try to learn enough grammar so that your tenses match, you spell things correctly, and you punctuate in a consistent and reasonably grammatical manner that doesn’t mark you as someone who just spouts nonsense without caring what you actually sound like – or is editing your prose the same as dying your hair? Deceit? Trying to look better?
That’s it! None of these MGTOWs can write a coherent rant because they don’t want to be hypocrites and deceive the ladies into thinking they are literate.
I have gray or, in the right light, silvery hair. I like it. I do have some lavender streaks that I had dyed just recently, and I like them. I’m in my mid-60s and I really don’t give one flying fuck what anyone else thinks about it. I have a friend who cannot see herself with gray hair, so she dyes it to the color she had for most of her life (red). Why would anyone have a problem with the choice of either one of us? It’s just all-out weird. My friend and I have both been married for decades and both of us do as we want and no one, least of all our spouses, thinks a thing of it. All this nonsense about how it’s “lying” is laughable, to say the least. These guys are just pathetic. Or would be, if they didn’t contribute to the pool of horrific shit done to women.
Off topic, but I’ve recently learned about Umoja, a village in Kenya where woman have quite literally gone their own way.

I can only imagine the panic attacks this would set off if the MGTOWS ever found out about them.
I topped up my hair dye today because the roots were coming through. But I don’t do it to look younger even though I’ve hit the wall now I’m 30.
I dye it red, orange, green, blue and purple because I want to trick men into thinking I’M AN ACTUAL RAINBOW!
Such misandry.
Also, if I ask the guy I’m dating to put fake tan on me, is that a.) less misandry because I’m not tricking him, or b.) more misandry because he’s doing things for me? He doesn’t seem to mind so I just don’t know.
I love how easy it is to upset these dudes. Plus I look good doing it.

The whole point is that the line is completely arbitrary, and can therefore be placed wherever it’s most convenient to punish women. It’s not about what she looks like, it’s about an opportunity to abuse her.
Demanding adherence to mutually exclusive standards is a classic abuse tactic. Here we’re seeing the demand that a woman must be stunningly beautiful at all times…without doing anything to achieve that. Failing to meet both those standards simultaneously means the abuser has ammunition to make her feel bad about herself.
There’s theoretically a balance point, where the victim manages to strike exactly the right amount of beauty vs. effort to please the abuser. But of course that point is at the discretion of the abuser…who will simply change it if the woman gets too close. Because this is not about what she looks like.
This is exactly why I no longer pay any attention to beauty norms, and do whatever the hell I like with my appearance. Someone will always be unhappy. Their problem, not mine.
I am over 40, and do not dye my hair. But next week, I’m going to get it dyed blue as part of my “Yay! I didn’t die last year!” celebration. (The fact that this is the wildest thing I am doing to commemorate surviving a hemorrhagic stroke probably says a lot about me.) Having it annoy MGTOWs is a side benefit.
For the curious, Mr. Parasol cheered my decision and thinks it’s a swell idea. He’s also the kind of husband who last Christmas told me all he wanted was me, alive, as a Christmas present. I’m sure the MGTOW contingent would bray about how “whipped” he is. In this, as in so much else, they are wrong. Luckily, we can go our merry way without their approval.
