      Also please explain what mgtow is. And the pill thing, I always mix those up - is the red pill being incel or being a normie and not seeing how the world really is?

        I think Men Going Their Own Way was initially ostensibly for men learning and supporting each other to be chill with being single for life. Nice stuff like appreciating walks in the forest, woodworking, etc. It got overrun with misogynists and became as spiteful as incels.

        Before I almost gave up on dating I was looking for decent male communities and MGTOW superficially appeared to be what I wanted. I scratched the surface and ran away.

          Someone should tell these men that you’re allowed to do this stuff when you have a partner, hell the partner can even join in

            I don’t think that would help. These men aren’t rejecting a partner, they’re rejecting dating. Getting past the dating stage to the partnership stage is something they never succeeded at, so they’re giving up on it.
