But be careful brothers - "idle hands are the devil's workshop"... Not in a real sense (the devil is just a religious fairy tale, meant to keep believers in check) - but in the sense that you guys are exposed to temptations the rest of us are not.
Your lifestyle affords you the freedom to... become slaves to the worst possible masters.
Most of us can't spend the rest of our lives in an infinite loop of whores and drugs.
But the fact that you guys can, doesn't mean you should - in the sense that, IMHO anyway, it won't make you happy.
In a sense I fear for you guys more than for an average MGTOW.
The "do I just sleep all day" question is a blinking-red "danger, Will Robinson" indicator...
If you can accept some unsolicited advice from an old guy: the two things I found gave my life the most meaning, were:
- improving yourself in things that only you know, deep inside, you are underdeveloped in; things you can do better, and don't because you suck.
- and helping people that deserve to be helped - and seeing their gratitude.
To be clear: I obviously don't mean helping the useless females we are drowning in, by enslaving yourself to one. Fuck no. I mean helping decent fellow human beings: poor students that get great marks, want to learn more, but are barely making ends meet; orphans that get no help from anyone in this fucked-up planet; starving children in third-world hellscapes; etc.
Will you feel happy at the end of your life, looking at yourself in the mirror, knowing the only thing you did for 40 years is bang prostitutes and escape into the void of drugs?
Or will you feel better if you interacted with, and actually helped, a bunch of poor kids get a good job, a life?
I could be wrong, of course. But in my life, nothing gave me more satisfaction than hearing back from people I helped - and learning how I impacted their lives.
No drug highs, no Holy Vaginas, nothing could ever even possibly begin to compete with how that feels.
