So I was browsing YouTube and found this lady’s video. After five minutes or so or so-so content, it started to get interesting. She was talking about how men derive their identity and self respect from what they do, as opposed to women who derive it by what they are. When a man is free to compete and work with other men with men’s rules, work becomes meaningful. When women infiltrate and worse, demand changes to the culture of such a workplace, men lose meaning in their work, and might even come to regard it as an ongoing daily humiliation. Not to mention the whole thing with men and women where a man can have his self-defined role as father or husband taken away for no reason by a capricious wife, we begin to see marriage as a bear trap.
Watch the video if you’re interested in these issues. I’m interested to see what @Rin thinks as well.

I knew a guy in his mid 60's, successful professional, divorced once. He was still dating and said he was getting laid by 21 year old girls from time to time. I believed him.


He was paying for it

I was in a similar situation, and pay for it was both accurate and inaccurate.

In my case, the young female was dating guys who had no money nor the desire to spend any of it dating her.
When she came to see me, I gave her some $ to fix her crappy car. She was a student and just working part time and I had the dough so why not? Another time she got a flat and called me and I told her I would pay for a new tire ($65).

I also paid her car insurance a couple of times, which I didn't mind at the time. She didn't seem to be interested in going out to expensive restaurants and my apartment is very nice, she enjoyed having a place to hang around after the beach (6 minutes away).

I dated another girl who was in her 30's and she actually cost me much more because she liked to eat out in fancy joints, then continue to bars. I calculated once it cost me about $250 on a date with her.

My favorite lately is in her 30's single mom, struggling and not super hot but very interested in seeing a safe guy.

What I think happens with younger females is they realize that their value is decreasing over time, and they resent that they don't seem to get anything in return from guys who spend time with them and don't pay her anything, ever. I have heard the young one say about her friend dating a guy who is broke "Why is she with a guy who can't do anything for her?"

Deep down I think girls know that they need men, and the feminist stuff is all bullshit. They realize they've been tricked and young ones are seeking some benefit while they can get it.

Personally I would always prefer to hand a girl some cash rather than sit around eating at a fancy place. She can use the dough more than the toilet can use the result tomorrow.

I find it hilarious when fundie Reps whinge about the deterioration of the 'traditional' nuclear family and then follow it up with this:


So let me get you on the record here:
1. “Diversity is great! Everyone is different! You can’t judge a person by his appearance!”
2. Everyone who disagrees with me on anything is exactly the same and probably a disgusting white male fundamentalist Christian!

Interesting points!

Nice jump in logic there! But no. I don't give two shits if you're married or not. Have all sorts of kids with different partners. But so many people here seem to think the traditional man+woman family is the bedrock of civilization and then run on about how big of a player they are, and how marriage is for chumps, it's hilarious and kind of sad.

I've been happily married for 15 years, in one of those 'traditional' unions. You guys should be applauding me, I'm one of the guys propping up our collapsing society!

I agree that the goal should be finding a traditional wife and have a life long union and kids. But since there are very few out there making good wives and mothers the players are just a symptom. Currently there is an big overhang of good guys vs good womyn so some will naturally resort to playing.

Yes, it's always the woman's fault. There's never any quality women out there! I'm a perfect guy, I'm a total catch, the ladies should be bending over backwards to be my slave.

It's easy to cast people as losers but the statistics are backing my assertion. Men are dragging their feet while 3/4 of divorces are initiated by women. Plus I know many that claim to be happily married when in fact they are being cucked by a less than desirable woman. Especially in the bay area where hotties are pretty rare. Some are being bossed around so.badly that I'd rather see them free as much as I root for the family. I am suspicious of people who claim to have the perfect wives esp. here as the general hostility towards men rubs off even on the most traditional unicorn hottie. Your environment influences you and I have always told struggling buddies to move the fuck out of such a misandristic area.

I'm 46 and still pull early 30s hotties. Much younger than that and I find them boring and annoying usually. Strike that. I find them boring and annoying immediately rather than after a while.


I did too before getting married. Good strategy. A 30s who kept young is better than a 20s. For marrying 25-35 depending on looks and health is a good age for her.

I'll tell you why that's happening. In EVERY instant that I've seen divorces, the guy went into the relationship thinking with the wrong head (the lower one). Getting married based on a PHYSICAL attraction very rarely works out. It's the COMPLETE package that makes the difference.

I'll never claim to have the perfect wife, but after 38 years, it's the best it's ever been. That's not to say it hasn't been extremely hard work, some big battles, and other crap. But the key is to work through all that stuff, and come out the other end, with the bandages. What I see in many cases are the couples not willing to work it out, and instead, take the easier route, and just bail through divorce. That's typical with how people handle every other issue in their lives, bail out instead of fix.

It's easy to cast people as losers, when, in fact, they are losers. Our man Trump does it all the time! And if 3/4 of divorces are initiated by women, what does that say about the men they're attached to?

No it means that the majority of women initiating those divorces were unfit for marriage and got baited by the advantageous divorce laws. Did guys make bad choices with them? Sure but if you bail out of a marriage thr problem is you in 80+% of cases. The pareto principle always holds.

Abuse by the husband is relatively rare. Give it 10% which is generous so yeah the rest are unfit. Why else would you break a sworn lifelong bond and potentially wreck kids.

This is 100% speculation. There are a million reasons to initiate a divorce. Are some gaming the divorce laws? Sure. Are there other possible reasons? Yep.

This.

I can't count how many times I've heard married guys I work with wish they were in my shoes. Complain about the slavery they're in. Seems like it's near 90% and those are the ones who aren't even raped in divorce court yet.

Sounds like they have the pussy in the relationship. Why don't they take off their skirts, get their balls back, and take control of their situation. It's easy to blame the wife when they have no balls. Do they act that same way at work, let others boss them around and not take responsibility and step up?
49   clambo   2018 Dec 30, 12:00pm  

Marriage is simply not the natural arrangement between males and females. The present legal arrangement violates mans nature.

Today the male is severely punished for having a sexual partner in addition to the aging, enlarging, and controlling one he is married to.

Men who are older can still attract younger females, but the converse is not true; older females generally can not attract males of any age.

Having someone to have conversations with, spend time with, go out to eat with, etc. doesn't require marriage. I do these with my widow neighbor.

As far as sexual relations go, I have younger ones for this activity. Everyone likes the arrangement as far as I can tell.

Critique all you like. You're delusional though if you think I give a shit about what you think. Marriage is a construct, people have raised kids for hundreds of thousands of years without it. I've got great family and it worked well for them. These days though you're marrying the government. Fuck that.

Official marriage is only just a piece of paper. Stop getting hung up. Its more about the committment, through thick and thin that determines the relationship. Guys who can't make that committment, or have shitty skills at picking good mates, are the ones not getting married.

Blaming a piece of paper for entrapment is a cop out and shows a failed loser. I'm sure that carries over to other parts of his life too.

Things were different when you were young. My parents are on 47 and I am quite certain if my dad was in his 20s and got married right now he'd last about a year. Family law in the west is fucked (THANK YOU BOOMERS) and even worse in the UK. I wouldn't even date a single mom in the NW US. Judges are sticking guys with child support for kids that aren't even their kid in that area.

I'm not sure how many out of wedlock kids there are running around these days but I'd guess it's over 50%. (If you include divorce) Daddy is now, "The state", and you serve only at the pleasure of your wife.

I agree with much of what you're saying, but there is one thing that LTRs or marriage give you if done right...love. I don't mean to sound sappy, but superficial relationships with many women (albeit hella fun) wouldn't cut it for me especially as I grow old, which I'm not yet. There's something unique and special about being with someone for decades, sharing memories and a family together, making it through the ups and downs, etc. If you've never tasted that, I understand why you'd go the route you choose. But for me, it's priceless.

How old were you when you married? As I mentioned above I think if you marry somewhat young there are great opportunities. I come from a huge family with great marriages. I had health problems in my 20s and early 30s and worked my ass off to pay for and solve them as well as to climb out of poverty. Didn't spend those years looking to get married. Not a multi-millionaire yet but soon will be. No way I'm fucking that up now with what's leftover in the culture we live in now though.

I was young...23. I certainly understand the risks you'd be taking by getting married, which I wouldn't do if I waited later in life for the reasons you cite, unless I was 100% sure. The laws are far too discriminatory against men and breadwinners.
