Let's qualify that even further:

A beautiful 24 year old woman on your arm, who is pleasant to be around, has a good personality, and is a conservative is a signifier of value. She could still be hot and be an insufferable liberal.

A 54 year old woman on your arm, who has kept herself looking good, is well dressed and has no tattoos can also be a signifier of value.

It comes down to the value of the woman.

Almost all men, who use porn, do so because they aren’t feeling loved by women.

The primary driver behind porn use is a dopamine-endorphin surge that reinforces the behavior through intense reward and craving.

Love and bonding involve oxytocin and vasopressin, but those chemicals play only a minor role in porn consumption.

Porn isn’t about feeling unloved—it’s about chasing a dopamine-endorphin-specific neurochemical high.

Porn is simply a time saver and speeds up the “self love process” for men. Efficiency.

I prefer a companion similar in age. Someone to get my stupid, obscure movie references. Plus, they are usually great kissers by then.

I find the responses to articles of this type fascinating. Hope y'all find love in the arms of a warm, soft female. See you in the war threads!

Oh, that is first month together. She has to appreciate Spaceballs, Airplane and the like and be able to quote them at appropriate times. If she hasn’t seen them, we watch them. It’s a test. If she laughs, hang on to her for a while.

Brilliant. Constructive. Hope the author is taking notes.

Why get married?
Just find a woman you hate and give her half of everything you have.
Save money on lawyers and court fees….
🤦🏻‍♂️

“cI just remembered something. I’ll be right back. Don’t go anywhere now, I just have to make a quick phone call.’

“Door to restaurant slams shut, tires squeel as the corvette peels out of the parking lot.”

That’s what my sister did when she found out her blind date had voted for Clinton.

Jeff Childers wrote an excellent analysis of This Woman’s opinion piece. Not flattering.

The inability of the feminists and the left in general to demonstrate even the most minute amount of self-introspection is quite impressive. Narcissism on a scale that never existed before.

“A lot of men are into body count. Its hard wired. Women too. How did we get here? The separation of church and state.”

No. The pill! Separation of church and state has always been there.

Before easily available birth control women faced by far bigger consequences from sex outside marriage. An unwanted pregnancy ruined your life. So they were very careful and wanted real life long commitment from a man before giving him what he most wanted.

With the advent of the pill, (and unlimited abortion in case you forgot the pill) those realities changed. Suddenly women too could enjoy “free love” with as many men as she wanted without that serious repercussion.

And that accelerated the rise of feminism - women can be and act like men and sleep around without consequences.

But there was a big unforseen price for women to pay with their newfound “free love” and willingness to dispense of what’s between their legs for a cup of coffee instead of a lifelong commitment.

By feminism lowering the price of what men wanted most from women, men all of sudden could get the “milk” without having to “buy the cow”. What a deal!

Sadly for women, this didn’t get them what THEY naturally most want from a man - committment, security, affection, a home with kids.

And as for men, whereas pre-pill they would have been more motivated to pay the high price of a long term commitment and “settle down” in return for a woman’s “affection”, now they could get what they wanted without paying that price. What a deal!

Sadly that deal didn’t really work out all that well for either women or men.

Women are not getting what they want most from a man - long term commitment, a family - hence millions of cat ladies including this author. And men by not having to commit many have become irresponsible adolescents over their whole life addicted to porn.

And the biggest loser in all of this is society through the decay of family and the rise of hedonism. We’ve seen this play before - Rome.

The problem is she is a woke leftist and thus abhorrent to a real man.

My concern is not one woke leftist and her dating games, but rather the whole nation and the repercussions for all of our friends and families. Our society is permeated with porneia, which is normalized, and it seduces both the old and the young, ruining marriages and families.

She was smart to do so. She sounds very sensible.

Good point if one visits Lost Angeles.

They can shame speech writers.

“Yes you did. We had to be over 6 feet and have a 6 figure income, always there to meet your needs and you never cared about ours.”

The 6-6-6-6 thing.

6 feet tall.
6 figure income.
6 pack abs.
6 inch **** minimum.

That’s about 2% of American men over 50 and they ain’t looking for her.

Ask Bill Belichick if he cares what you think. Does he look like he cares?
