I think MGTOW is silly because I believe the risk of dying alone with no family is both greater and more certain walking the MGTOW path than the risk of a bad divorce or dating experience ruining your life is if you pursue marriage.

But it’s retarded to pretend that the two sets of risk you put together are equivalent in outcome. A bad experience with a foreign prostitute is that she gives you crabs or steals your wallet or something. A bad experience with a marriage is potentially years of financial damage and the fallout of blowing up your social life as your friends have to figure out if they’re still friends with one or both of you singly instead of as a couple. Yeah, maybe she “deals unfairly in business” and you get soaked for an extra $50-$100. That’s fundamentally not the same as monthly alimony payments for years or anything like that.

The foreign prostitute simply doesn’t have the same leverage because you’re explicitly using her as a method of keeping sex/women at a distance. That’s the entire point. It does effectively mitigate that risk. When you say “actually, you can get into trouble with foreign prostitutes,” you aren’t exactly wrong, and the conclusion you’re arguing towards is correct, but you’re arguing it in the worst way for the dumbest reasons, because you’re putting literally the only advantage a foreign prostitute has on the table and making the argument about whether her advantage is big or not, instead of pointing out all the important parts of building a family or the moral parts of avoiding prostitution which are the actual arguments against that MGTOW position.
