As much as MGTOW is misunderstood by mainstream society, "Ghost" seems to be just as much misunderstood in the MGTOW community. We seem to be regarded as everything from a lunatic fringe of would-be off-the-grid survivalists to something like "32nd-Degree MGTOW" (if I may borrow the imagery from Freemasonry), to doom-and-gloom hermits and grumpy curmudgeons, to perpetual tourists staying off the radar of Big Daddy Government and Society-In-General. Well, any of those
could be Ghosts - but none of them exemplify Ghosts, or explain the Ghost perspective.
As I see it, a Ghost values his freedom above all else. He is self-reliant, comfortable with solitude, content to go unnoticed, and capable of living a fulfilling life on his own. And his personal freedom is more important to him than social approval, status, or sexual companionship. On the whole, we're not "antisocial," but we're generally asocial, indifferent to Society and its expectations, rules, and roles.
This leaves a lot of room for personal characteristics - intentionally so. Some ghosts
are hermits, living off-the-grid; some are city-dwellers, invisible within the faceless crowds. To borrow (not verbatim) from
Kipling's "Tommy," we're neither "heroes" nor blackguards, but ordinary people - "most remarkably like you." It is true that we have a higher tolerance for solitude than most, and a lower tolerance of the BS that goes with socializing and especially with the current version of "the mating dance." We're not here to entertain, or to serve, or to be of utility to The Princess Class; we live on our own terms, as much as we can, and we won't be arsed to live up to the "Real Manhood" terms thrust upon all men by Society.
One thing I'd like to emphasize: "Ghosting," as I see it, is about living the Good Life - solo. It's about enjoying your solitary life and doing things that your entrapped brethren hardly dare dream of doing. I realize that a lot of "casualties of Society" are going to come here as well, to lick their wounds and nurse their pain; but I hope that enough of you will come to realize that the solitary life has its own great rewards, and that you'll find contentment and fulfillment in living life your own way, for your own sake, unplugged from the Matrix.
