Most men make the mistake that every woman they meet is going to treat them like their wife, mom, sister or aunt. That is a mistake.

Remember, women have no loyalty. Two females can be heated enemies one minute, and best friends the next.

Many women will trade freedom for (perceived) security and end up with neither. I think that's a hard wired trait.

My solution? Trust no one, especially a female. Remember also that a marriage (post-physical affection) is a business arrangement. Maintain it as such and you won't be disappointed.

Women have base evolutionary drives to 1) favor security over freedom 2) hypergamy i.e. trading up current male for one with more money or power and always trying to date above themselves 3) collectivism.

Traditional societies kept female nature in check by laws that favored keeping families intact, by guilt and shame (e.g. slut shaming, out-of-wedlock pregnancy shame, etc), and men being in charge. Now modern “tolerant” society has taken away the controls, women are generally acting out their BASE evolutionary drives albeit in a modern day context.

I’ll be officially divorced in 4 months from my ex (that cheated with 4 different guys). I will never get re-married.

Unchecked (by laws or society) female behavior is essentially insanity and is a security threat to me.

Marriage is in fact a business arrangement, but I will not enter into a business arrangement with someone who can break all the terms of the contract and end it when they want, and who the laws will favor after they end it. (women push for 3/4 of the divorces). I will not sign a business contract with either the Mad Hatter or a woman.

Modern marriage is about the most poorly-engineered business contract ever. Imagine if all business contracts were operated the way marriage and divorce law operates. LOL.
