"My Standards Are Higher As a Single Mother," Woman Says Men Should Do More For Her and Her Son
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
The Internet is probably the biggest factor in that change.
Think about it. If you wanted to consume porn 40 years ago, you had to go out of your way to do it. Now it’s just a click away.
Sexual market value.
It the way of evaluating someone’s value as a potential mate.
In the manosphere a 10 is the highest score and 0 is the lowest score.
A 5 means that the woman is average.
While beauty is one major factor there are other factors that can adjust the number up and down.
Wealth adjust up, poverty adjusts down.
Kids adjust down.
Personality adjusts up and down.
Integrity adjusts up.
Sociopathy adjust down.
Body count adjusts down.
etc etc etc.
and he has a hot wife to prove it ...
Well said. lol
I don't recall him seeing me play any of my sports more than a few times. I never paid much attention to it. Contrast that with my children and grandkids. I was a Lariette Dad, and a Band Dad for 8 years, enjoyed every minute of it. Following my now 14 YO grandson's exploits, it took us to Cooperstown two years ago for a tournament...for a baseball freak like me, it was glorious.
It was a bitter divorce, I never heard whether he was up to date on child support. It wasn't until the day I graduated from Gonzaga that they deigned to take a picture together.
I do know that he was proud of my accomplishments. When I was in Officers Basic at Fort Bliss, he stopped for a few days enroute to DC, where he was transferred. I took him out to dinner at the O'Club, a heady experience for a WWII sailor, dining amongst a number of officers, to include his son.
Due to my upbringing, I vowed to stay married, that no other man was going to raise my children. Come April, that will be 38 years of marriage and fatherhood. I'm no saint, but I married a woman who is a better wife than I deserve.
Exactly—while her comments on the video may appear merely stupid at first glance they start to look like she is a sociopath if you pay close attention.
On the SMV.
Appearance-6
Adjustments:
—minus two for the kid
—minus two for indications of sociopathy
Total score: 2 out of 10.
The only men who will pay her any attention at all will be guys on the lam from the law for domestic abuse.
She really might do well to wear football helmets on dates.
Lol.
That's all the Democrats have at this point.
“Its the legal system, yes. But its also the typical modern woman out there today, as well.”
Don’t women run our legal system these days?
Correct - but one must also note that, under some circumstances, one or both participants are simply looking for a short-term "hook-up," and under other circumstances, one or both participants are striving for a long-term relationship and/or marriage.
Depending upon the time-horizon, the relative importance of various components of SMV may vary somewhat.
One's criteria will probably also vary considerably in different phases of life. A 17-year-old college freshman can thus not seriously view himself as good "marriage material." He - and the group of women in his usual social circles that he can plausibly court - are thus not looking to find a mate for life. And a 29-year-old woman nearing "The Wall" will likewise have shifted criteria. She might, e.g., wish to create a child with a stunningly handsome man, and then subsequently "settle down" with a boring provider with few options who is thus willing to nurture the other man's seed. Catchword: DUAL MATING STRATEGY.
While beauty is one major factor there are other factors that can adjust the number up and down. Wealth adjust up, poverty adjusts down.
SMV is NOT symmetrical! Males attach very little importance to a woman's wealth - since it's unlikely that he'll ever benefit from it. While women routinely expect the man to make 157% as much as the women.
And so on, and so forth.

Yup—I mentioned the money issue for a couple of reasons.
Many young women have insane college debt.
That has got to be a couple of points negative for anything more than a one night stand.
That is like starting a horse race with a cement block on the jockey.
As for female wealth—what it means long term is that if things go south the man will not be the one paying alimony and/or child support—long term that has got to be a plus.
For one night stands the SMV is almost all about looks.
Anything with longer time horizons has to take all other factors into account.
he was a diagnosed paranoid schizo, who was in a calm period ( probably Medicated) but then went off the rails.
She did not know until he had a crisis and was committed- the whole family kept it a secret. She got out eventually but I remember she could not divorce someone who was institutionalized so she had to wait till his release.
I was just a kid when this happens so I do not have all the info.
No pity here. She chose to get pregnant without being married. No mention if baby daddy is helping her — Wonder why? Actions have consequences. Just another lazy woman who wants a sugar daddy. so she doesn’t have to work.
Well said.

What is all the uproar here?
This forum seems to have no problem with Elon Musk’s impregnating multiple baby mamas.
But, you’re in an uproar over a woman who advocates for higher standards? Because she wants to marry and have more children?
This forum makes no sense sometimes.
But it rarely comes to that (i.e., to a woman being milked dry in the divorce courts), because women - on a "gut" level - understand that they (as the richer partner) would be at a disadvantage, and would be unable to squeeze resources out of the man, so they avoid such scenarios from the get-go.
To underscore the truth of this position, consider the statistics: 1) Women expect the man to make 157% of her salary, and 2) If a man (even through no fault of his own) suffers a sudden, medium-term drop in earning power, women will quickly develop an aversion towards the man, resulting in a break-up or divorce.

Sexual Mating Value, IIRC.
“Nice guy” is the operative term. If he wasn’t such a nice guy — that is, he is being assertive, setting boundaries and willing to argue — she would respect him enough to treat him better.
cgbg says Sexual Market Value. That sounds correct; I goofed.
