Is it irrational for me to be a MGTOW?
It is not in my interest to get cucked or fucked over in a relationship (and this kind of shit is extremely common), so why bother approaching and dating women? Although of course the result could be from a million different factors, not just a girl's shitty character.
Yeah I know that it's "not all women" but I still don't trust women
Probably. Nothing wrong with not being interested in relationships. Or taking extra time to suss out a womans intentions. But even as someone that's been called a misogynist god knows how many times the whole movement just strikes me as desperate and kind of sad.
Do shit that makes you happy. No need to make a label part of your identity.

Not really. I mean you don't have to go full MGTOW. Just look at the horror stories and learn from them. That's what I do. Women are no angels, but they're not complete demons either. You need to get the right mix. Not a complete pushover and not a control freak.
Do what makes you happy and be yourself.

if I had a group of actually good friends I would go mgtow.
Never been cheated on or cucked, but modern women are still shit(i love grandmas, but obviously they're out of my age range). But also never had any real friends but always an abundance of female attention(this last year not so much) so i'm in a difficult spot.
Stop calling it MGTOW and start calling it 'single'. You being alone doesn't have to a stand against society. None of those MGTOW fucks can help you directly; the movement is an echo box. Be alone by yourself.

There is definitely something wrong with not trusting all women preemptively, that implies that your ability to judge a character and analyse situations is extremely poor so you just opt out altogether.
Choose wisely, think rationally and don't take shit and you will be fine. I think in a lot of the stories you see the people being fucked over are insecure, needy and afraid to let go, probably something they saw warning signs for much earlier.

Just become the lead guitarist of a melodic death metal band and you'll get all the GMILFS you want

Yes. Specifically, it is cowardice.
Putting a label such as "MGTOW" on your lifestyle choice is fucking retarded. Being worried about "cucking" by a female is fucking retarded. Your post screams of insecurities.
Live your goddamn life and stop worrying about insignificant shit you pansy.
