What her letter tells me is that she’s a selfish, spoiled brat who’s a frustrated gold digger.

I would advise men to stay FAR away from someone that shallow.

Do you really not understand that donating sperm does NOT include having sex with the woman?

I honestly think that if it weren’t for sex men in the past probably would not have married.

I suspect that there is truth in that.

My mother told me how after her mother's 5-6th child, she suggested they cool it a little and his response was *I got married to have a good time*.

She went on to have 8 more kids for a total of 13.

Somehow, she still survived to the age of 81.

You are a rarity indeed.

I hope you find some woman who deserves you.

Programs like “Sex in the City” reflect this female dilemma.

On the one hand they are hoping for “Mr. Right” and having it all, man, sex, career, material comfort.

On the other hand they want to still meet daily with the “gals” in restaurants and brag about their sex lives and frustrations.

It’s like the old “Virginia Slims” cigarette ad, “You’ve come a long way baby” but yet they have damaged themselves.

Not from the cigarettes but trying to have it all by being the dominant sex and trying to juggle everything at the expense of everything. This has lead to confusion, frustration and being single for a lifetime.

Hypergamy by default places women higher than men and teaches men to place their worth lower than women, and that their sexual strategy is evil while the hypergamous sexual strategy of women is good.

A woman doesnt have to be a radical feminist to regard men as lower to them. You just have to think the current status quo of now unrestrained hypergamy is morally okay and fair.

Of course that did happen, (they both voluntered for a church camp for kids), and no it wasn’t love at first sight....but the environment they were in was conducive to get to know each other just for the work they each did there. He liked her, she liked him....and you can guess how the story went from there.

I think you have hit on a HUGE factor there. The whole dating scene encourages deceit.

You CANNOT get to know someone, what they are really like, from simply going out on dates where you are on your best behavior, look your best, don't encounter any real life situations that show how the other person is going to react, etc.

Best to keep an eye on those you are friends with and see what happens from there.

I know with my kids, watching them in their 20's, there is far more openness among girls and guys than has been in the past, and they are more likely to hang out in non-dating social situations, as friends, rather than girlfriend/boyfriend.

My son is married already and my younger daughter is very interested in marrying but sees that the field is not populated with very many responsible men.

And your forgetting something very significant....the Husband is called to ‘love’ his wife as Christ loves his own...A women will ‘never’ have a sense of jealousy when she feels ‘secure in her husbands love’...and it is up to him to create that security in her. If that’s not happening then no amount of submissiveness on her part is going to make a marriage work.

It's certainly not going to happen when he buries himself in his work to escape instead of working on figuring out what the problem is. But men don't want to have to work at the relationship.

Instead they blame shift onto women and the comments on this thread bear that out.

In a dispute/divorce the advantage in front of a judge is almost entirely with the woman, even if she makes most of the money.

And that is SO wrong.

Women pre 1990 didn’t use gutter language as normal conversation.

If it's good enough for men, why not women?

I don’t think you understand the nature of their offer, as it was offered.

Although I passed on that opportunity, I did eventually do a few threesomes with hetero women.

/// shaming languate, guilt-trips, conserva-feminist. ///

Although I really hate feminists, as Red Pill men, we do owe feminists massively in one respect: they helped expose the true nature of women and gynocracy. Whether traditional society or feminist, those societies are all gynocentric.

Thanks to feminists, I understand gynocracy, gynocentrism, hypergamy, Briffault’s Law, “Alpha fux, beta bux”, sexual market value after focusing on those topics.

Some things I already mostly understood, such as “The Wall” and “Men age like wine, women age like milk” - although actually experiencing them is enlightening. A lot of women my age look like the Crypt Keeper or weigh more than I do despite being shorter (I’m 6’2, 193 but dropping further). I elicit interest in women 15 years younger.

I find it amusing when an older woman who is a 5 or a 6 acts like she’s an 8, and expects she can get a guy who is an 8/9 and has lots of money. That guy doesn’t need the Crypt Keeper who has been used more than Google by alpha dudes when she was in her 20’s.

They’d rather drive a new Corvette than a used Pinto.

Norman Osborne in “Spiderman” actually had some great advice on women: “Harry, please. Look at her. You think a woman like that’s sniffing around because she likes your personality? Your mother was beautiful too, they’re all beautiful - until they’re snarling after your trust fund like a pack of ravening wolves!”

“A word to the not-so-wise about your little girlfriend: do what you need to with her, then broom her fast!”

Shows you how dense most men are, including me. If a man is strictly looking for sex, he shouldn't get married, especially in today's world.

I've said as much to my oldest son, who turns 28 today. That same advice will be delivered in a few years to my youngest son, when he turns 18.

BTW, I got in a bit of trouble at work a while back, when I was overheard saying, "I told my sons it's ok to date women with tattoos, you just don't marry them." I work in an office that's 2 to 1 female, with 5 of the six supervisors being female, many with "body art."

First time in my 40+ years in the workforce that I wouldn't want to have a relationship with any woman I work with. "Slovenly" and "overbearing" are two adjectives that fit them.

Both of my sons are going to have awesome lives, because I will help them navigate the job market, and because they will never have to worry about divorce, family court, child support or vagimony. I’ll show them how to budget, save money, invest and there will be no parasites bleeding them dry, either in marriage or a divorce.

My oldest is 19 and he is even more Red Pill than I am. And he hasn’t even been screwed over by women yet.

And that’s the point: he won’t be.

Don't get me wrong, I love my in-laws, a huge Hispanic family. Having said that, my sons have seen the drama that comes with a large family, having six aunts on their mom's side.

My soon to be 30 YO daughter has seen it, too, and she follow's Dad's attitude when it comes to family vacations: "no mas!" lol

The women in that family are all-push, that's what they learned from their mother. I loved my MIL, may she rest in peace, but she was really dominant. All 7 are still vying to be the matriarch of the family, nearly 10 years after her passing. I admit I'm lucky, my wife is one of the best of that bunch.

I'll bet she thrived to 81. How many descendants does she have?

LOL, I heard that, too, a loooong time ago. One thing I noticed about my son and wife...exact same smile. I, mother-in-law, love that girl.
