The other night at dinner, when my grandmother walked away for a minute to check on the laundry, we were talking about marriage when he dropped this on me:
I have a theory. My theory is that when a woman is secured in her marriage, I think there's this chemical that drips and drips and drips when you both are dating that makes her want to suck and fuck your brains out all the time. But, however, when she becomes secured and settled, has some kids and is living the "marriage life" that chemical slowly stops dripping and becomes more of an exchange of goods. She knows you want sex and he knows she wants a commitment. And that's marriage my boy, an exchange in goods and services. I then ask "why did you get married?" He then replied Because we know how this game works. She makes sure our sex life is good and makes sure I have food in my stomach and she knows that I am a good provider and will care and love her for the rest of her days. We take care of each other and out of that comes love and a successful marriage. (They have been married for 22 years btw)
Not really a long post boys. Just some grandfatherly advise.

Welp, good thing modern feminism put two bullets in that concept's head. We wouldn't want a woman thinking she might have, gasp, an obligation in a relationship, while freely taking the benefits of the man's obligations. That would be nigh slavery!

billythebeta 8y ago
"But muh freedom!"
Until men grow a sack and learn to enforce these social norms, fat feminists will keep trying to pursue against it by taking benefits without obligations.
Luckily even the most blue pill betas/omegas are wisening up with time, after they see failure after failure because their society has failed them. It's only a matter of time-- what's the term again? Something bubble.

When I go places (home included) and look at the door after entering, I often ask myself "Do you have the emotional, financial and physical ability to silently walk out that door, start a new life and never explain that decision to another human soul."
The peace an honest "yes" gives me is worth more than anything else that comes to mind.
I call this test the "Silent Goodby".
The old school couple in this story never questioned the man's ability to do this. So the women made sure he'd choose to come back every time he left. The chemical "drip" may have dried, but she knew he had that option and planned accordingly.
The moment a woman realizes you don't have that option, your last BJ from her is well behind you.
Plan accordingly.

What can a man offer long-term to a high powered career woman? Emotional support, sex, "life accomplishment"...I doubt these alone can sustain a marriage for 20+ years. As GP mentioned, once the heat dies down the relationship becomes an exchange of services. Eventually one party is going to get the shits and bail. Not that women shouldn't pursue careers, they most certainly should if they want to. However they must realise they've taken away a mans primary value, setting the bar extremely high for her potential partners.
scamper_22 8y ago
Well it depends on your view of marriage. A long time ago men had lots of wives and concubines. Marriage was mainly about status.
A long time ago, it was common for men and teen age boys to have an odd sexual mentor style relationship.
Traditional marriage as we know it was more egalitarian. Every man gets one woman. And every woman gets more attention. Men provide. Women take care of the home, kids, husbands comfort.
In each of those cases, your takeaway is different.
You can't get the same things from a traditional marriage anymore than a traditional marriage could expect the same from the old days of harems and concubines.
If your takeaway from a modern marriage is combining income and raising kids, that's what you can get out of it. Women won't get the attention and loving they wanted in a traditional marriage. Men won't get the respect, and comfort they wanted in a traditional marriage.
As long as both sides are aware of the 'social contract' things will change, but they can work. The problem today of course is people are not really aware of the social contract.
I got married before I found TRP, so take it for what it is. But, I was aware of the change in the social contract. My wife had to be earning and have a job, so that if we divorced, she can take care of herself and the splitting of our assets won't ruin me.
And I'm reasonably comfortable in that situation. I was in a more traditional LTR at one point where I highly out earned her. I got more respect and comfort, but if we were to divorce, I might get fucked. So where I am now is definitely better in that respect.
Where it goes, only time can tell. Maybe NEVER GET MARRIED is good advice.
But I think things will evolve. Unless the human race is heading for extinction. Kids will still be born. Families will still be there. Single people (men and women) can have kids on their own, but that's very stressful.
People will adapt and find value in the new kinds of relationships available to them.
You can't get stuck in thinking 'traditional' marriage is all there is and ever will be. Yeah, a high powered career woman won't need your income. In the end, they don't want to be alone. In the end, they know most of their 'friend' relationships are show. In the end, many want a family and comfort and company and status that marriage provides.
NickCiufi 8y ago
I don't believe a man's primary value is as a provider. I also don't believe that there would be a lot of agreement with that statement in terms of Red Pill theory, given the slippery slope from "good provider" to "beta bucks".
In my opinion, the primary value provided by a man is leadership.
rp_valiant 8y ago

The only solution is women marrying at 23 years of age men who are 10 years older and are already established in their careers. That means shortening the length of the cock carousel ride to only between 16 and 20.
Women who insist on dating men only slightly older and postpone finding a husband till their late 20s will be genetic dead-ends.
aang1818 8y ago
Buddy, I hate to say it, but you are deluded if you think the CC starts at 16. I have met 1 (maybe 2, cant remember exactly what the 2nd said) women who said they lost their virginity after 15. And both were hideous hamplanets who had trouble getting cock altogether prior to OKC and Tinder.
Literally every other woman I asked who was willing to answer said they took their first cock between 13 and 15. Even the 19 year old I just met has had 7 partners prior to me, and her 15 year old sister is even worse.

This is important-- women with careers can work, but it adds to the "risk" portion of a risk analysis when a man plans to marry a woman.
Why? Well, she will lack domesticity when she comes home (fewer hours of the day at home), is tired, doesn't want to cook/clean/watch kid-- things that are traditionally a woman's task.
Also the things you mentioned-- a man's commodities become less of a factor, and what's left-- her "tingles" for you, and we all know how susceptible the hamster is to turn to another man when her "feels" wear out.
rp_valiant 8y ago
Women like to marry up in status too, and if a woman has a high-powered career as a lawyer, banker, whatever, then the number of men who are "above" her will be much smaller. Women never ever marry down, given the choice. It's why there's a lot of strong independent black wymyn struggling to find a partner, crying "where have all the good men gone?" - they're still there, but they're no longer good enough for her and have become invisible.
billythebeta 8y ago
What's funny is that I distinctly recall one of my feminist English professors in high school shoveling this brand of horseshit to the class. She said something along the lines of "if you want to have a happy marriage, marry someone that is more successful or happy than you"-- obviously directed to the girls in the class.
the_Milkweed 8y ago
For both sides, women back in the day were treated as lesser individuals. Rather than being treated as a being equal but different, without each other we would not be here today.
There is a middle ground.
Edit: you can all be idiots, what the fuck is the captain and first mate idea? 28 people have mom issues
Edit 2: I enjoy the time when red pill meant that you looked outside of the box and took life for what it really is. You then took that information to make your life better. Now it's just fucking dumb gym monkeys jerking each other off. Sit on your high horse, you have all become the equal and opposite side of extremist feminist culture.

If you think men and women are equal in all aspects, just go look at nature a little closer. This might seem like a stupid comparison, but I remember deer hunting with my Dad when I was about 10 years old. If you shot (multiple times) at a Doe it would just stand there looking confused, if you even fart when a buck is nearby it will run for the hills in a split second. Also, it's basically a scientific fact that women have absolutely no logic whatsoever.
Edit: The comment in bold was not meant to be taken literally. I thought it was clear I was exaggerating, obviously a lot of people didn't catch that. Men and women have completely different logic, we all know that.

I can spend a whole fucking hour sitting down and explaining to people the sublties of the relationship between men and women and how the power dynamic of gender plays out in society and then someone like you comes around with your "women have absolutely no logic whatsoever" bullshit.
Of course women have had it easy in many ways, but that was no reason to prevent them from fucking voting and owning fucking property. But maybe I'm just still mad because my ancestors used to be considered fucking property right alongside the women.
I'm glad I've taught my daughters to hit guys like you in the fucking mouth as soon as you open it. Jesus Christ. There's a lot of good info and advice in this subreddit, but then I read shit like this and it makes me believe that it's just a subreddit full of butt hurt white guys mad because some black guy took "his" job and he can't find a woman to make him a sandwich because he says stupid shit like "women have absolutely no logic whatsoever".
Hitman4747 8y ago
From my life experience, women are not as intelligent as men in general. If you haven't picked that up in all the years that you've been on this earth then you must be below average intelligence, sorry.
When I said it's basically a scientific fact that women have no logic I was obviously hyperbolizing, sadly it went way over your head. The idea that women and men have totally different logic is a staple of TRP. I suggest catching up by reading the sidebar more before shitposting.
What the fuck are you talking about with this stupid shit about a black person taking someone's job? You seem ignorant enough to teach your daughters to hit men, they will probably end up in jail for domestic assault.

They exist, if it's what you're looking for. Sure, there are no unicorns, but not every woman today grows up with the full female entitlement message.
I've certainly heard women say the actual words "I'm in a relationship with him, so sex is part of my obligation". Transaction/obligation sex isn't enough, but it matters like crazy to find a woman who accepts that she has actual duties in her relationship. (And, who reliably carries out her duties in other settings. No use in finding someone who knows what they need to do but blows it off.)

CQC3 8y ago
I don't agree with Aang, but AWALT is AWALT. It doesn't mean you can't be in an LTR, and it doesn't mean you can't find a woman you like more than a plate. It does mean that you're not in the BP paradigm, and that you realize that no matter how she presents herself, what you've seen or heard, and what you feel, know that she is capable of what all women are capable of. Swinging to another branch. Men are romantic, women are opportunistic. Their love is not your love. That's what TRP is useful for outlining.
Sure, there's women out there that you can LTR, but you're probably going to have to find somebody with potential and vet them. There's also slim chances you can find a babe that was raised by an alpha father and knows how to behave, but that's few and far between. Most women are not LTR worthy and overall women are getting fatter, more entitled and are easily taught by society female game, meanwhile men are taught jack shit on how to game women.
AWALT means exactly that, every woman has the potential to be that way--especially if you aren't putting out good game, and even more important, sometimes the best game won't make a difference in a woman leaving you. That's why people say stuff like, she's not yours, it was only your turn.
TRP generally advises against LTR's, but there is LTR game because people are going to get into them, not everyone wants to plate up necessarily. Better to understand what you're getting into and provide information on it than just say "no LTR BAD!"
Overall, the deck is stacked against you in an LTR, and most of the LTR guys here consider the relationship as a prerequisite, disposable. LTR game in a nutshell is you enjoy a womans company, she puts out well, doesn't disrespect you much and follows your lead, and she gets LTR'd. The condition is also that you put up with zero shit and make that clear you can walk anytime. LTR's are manageable because of this, marriage...is not.

Yeah, that was two generations ago. Now she gets all the benefits legally enforced against you, and is still free to leave.
Your grandfather is still pretending that she loves him, even while agreeing that she's exploiting him (dripfeeding sex in exchange for provisioning).
While the observations are basically true, it's the beta life. And it's out of date. Marriage today is a fucked up deal for men, don't do it.
Don't think that the exchange of her sex for your provisioning results in a happy marriage, it doesn't. Marriage is her security (at your expense), your sex life is still your problem (and noone lets you cheat once they know you're married). It degenerates into "I know you've not had any for a month, and I'd just love to have sex with you but I'm so tired having to do the dishes all the time... if only there was a solution to that..."
Go across to the other reddit subs to see all this in action... "he thinks just because he married me and pays for everything he's entitled to monthly sex, the greedy shitlord!"
Don't think that TRP truths mean that you get a happy marriage based on exchange of value. It doesn't work like that.

Marriage was intended to stabilize stuff because in a free polygamous society, 16/17 men (as evidenced by historical DNA analysis) will end up without any sex and will either start waging war or stop working all together. The reason we have marriage is so men's productivity can be maximized.

Marriage is a ill-conceived feminine institution designed to give women what they (think) they "want" - at a particular time in their life / month. If we took away marriage, women would be HAPPLY trying to please WORTHY men to lock/keep them down - AND making themselves "happy" in the process.

BradPill 8y ago
Marriage serves both: the man gets regular sex (at least, that was the premise/promise), doesn't kill other men for pussy and focuses on advancing his family - and society. The woman gets off-spring in a secure setting and doesn't have to offer herself to different Alpha's (I suppose that is what happened in the cave-days), raising kids, advancing society.
It was a very clever, mutually beneficial construct.
stawek 8y ago
It was mutually beneficial in environment of poverty. Woman needed a man to get her food.
Nowadays woman needs no food from man, so marriage is her giving up Chads in exchange for nothing.
Remove taxes and wealth redistribution and women will get back in line instantly, when they no longer get free stuff from Daddy Sam.
BradPill 8y ago
Working women/single mothers pay for their own food. The problems start when HS-girls get financially supported and motivated/stimulated to have/keep the child - not graduating, severely limiting their options for getting a job. Birth-control and abortion should be mandatory, no kids before age 25. I'm sure only Trump agrees.

Lessons learned: Only spend time with women who still have the chemical dripping. Change women often, and do not, for the love of Jebus, get married. The exchange of goods isn't worth it, and the law only enforces your end of the deal.
oldredpillhardmode 8y ago
Why does everyone keep blaming the law, women, etc... I thought part of TPR was taking responsibility for your own situation. You need to do a much better job of choosing a wife, and providing boundaries and control once married. I personally think guys who go through life without finding a great wife are the losers. There also seems to be a lot of unwillingness to take responsibility for having children. There are a lot of posts along the lines of, "Im getting screwed because I have kids". One word for you guys, CONDOM. Just because the women might try to talk me into bareback, I have morals and they are strong enough to not let a little pussy compromise them. I don't drop my seed unless I'm fully prepared to take care of the child for the next 18 yrs, all on my own. If you aren't willing to do that, put on a condom. If you are, quit complaining.
tallwheel 8y ago
I fail to see how your reply is at all relevant to what I wrote above. No where did I blame women, the law, or try to get out of responsibility. I am advocating taking control of one's life by choosing only to partake in the most fun stage of relationships - the infatuation/lust stage. Everyone has a right to choose who they want to associate with and when. No one owes anyone a relationship, marriage, or kids.

Does it matter as long as both of you are happy? It's probably a combination of the two. I know my wife is crazy about me and she also thinks Im a little unpredictable and "crazy" which is good because it keeps her from becoming bored with the security and comfort I provide. I always keep things exciting for her. For instance I call her from work on Friday and tell her to "pack for a 3 day weekend and be ready for the limo to pick her up at 5:00pm, we are going to Vegas for the weekend." Keeps her from getting bored and looking for some excitement outside of the marriage. Bottom line is she is so damn busy keeping up with my excitement she has 0 time to think about anything else.

Hi, I'm new here, I want to ask a question without implying anything. OP seems to suggest that women don't care about sex? Is this a belief generally shared in this community?
sandbm5 8y ago
Women do care about sex but when it comes to their sexuality, it becomes more of a bargaining chip to the relationship. The man wants sex and the women wants commitment. However, this does not apply to all relationships and marriages, it's just what the majority have observed. Women enjoy sex as much as men do but they have the power to sleep with whom ever they want or choose. I believe it's more of an ego stroke for the woman when it comes to sex. But yes, women love/care about sex.

Pastelitomaracucho 8y ago
I guess I will never marry again. I love that "chemical that drips" way too much.
Having been married, I 100% concur with the OP's grandpa. Except for the sex part. My ex did not give a fuck if our sex life was good or not, but she was happy with the stability.
I have another theory, brought with one of my dad's friends, a kind of post-modern Quagmire:
"Marriage and long term relationships should be like leasing: renting a car leaves little strings that attach you, but is also expensive. You can always have the nicest sports car for a few days, but in the end you don't need it. When you buy a car you look for something reliable, maybe not as exciting, with a few years of driving your sober sedan you will look upon the others driving the fun sports cars. A lease its the perfect balance: not as expensive, allows you to enjoy the ride and as soon as you are bored with the car in a few years, you can upgrade to the next one".
He is clear that passion and romantic love last only a few years. This is something scientifically proven. He is also clear that once passion has worn out, its just better to move the fuck on and find someone new again.
I live by his example.
oldredpillhardmode 8y ago
Do you have a reference for that? I completely disagree with your post. Since Im living proof that passion and romance can last much longer that a few years. Marriage takes work. PAssion and romance don't just happen. You have to put effort into the relationship to get something out of it. You can't be a passive participant and expect to get a positive return on any relationship, especially marriage. Im beginning to feel like many of the TRP guys on this sub don't expect to put any effort into their relationships, they should just happen and everything should be wonderful. I see it much like a job. the vast majority of people go to work, do the minimum level of work and then complain that they don't get raises or satisfaction from their job. Duh... You have to put effort into the job before the job returns satisfaction. You have to put effort into a relationship if you expect to get something good out of it.

Don't forget that grandma at 75 years old (or so) doesn't exactly have a lot of options.
Divorce Rape is most critical when a young couple marries and the woman still has some SMV left.
By the time a woman reaches 45 her sexual value is essentially zero as she has lost all of her fertility. No one wants old ladies.
The highly critical period when marriage would ideally be optimized with dread (Marriage 1.0) is when the woman is under 27 years old.
The worst case scenario is a 28 year old guy marrying a 24 year old girl and her having a child then divorce raping him just as the guy enters his prime a few years later.
When you get up into the 50's, 60's and 70's if a woman is still "in the game" to be a wife she already has built in dread because she is fully aware how low her SMV has fallen.
Most guys past 50 start to lose interest entirely in old ladies, but will still desire youth and fertility if only for sex. The 50 year old guy flirts with 30 year old women.
Marriage 1.0 protected men in their prime.
Marriage 2.0 is dangerous for young men, but okay if you are very old.
...at any age above 45 for women there cannot be child support (she's infertile) in a divorce, so unless there was a very wealthy lifestyle in the marriage you pretty much part ways and that's it.
Social Security becomes an issue too, so old people might choose to not marry for that reason.

Thanks to feminism she can divorce him and he'll still have to provide for her for the rest of his life.
Never get married.
mutageno 8y ago
Yeah, and cooking isn't exactly rocket science. Plus if you are lifting you are quite on a diet and a woman will more often than not sabotage it.
cover20 8y ago
I don't think alimony works that way.
As for child support, it's supposed to be a separate deal if everyone is playing fair. Granted they don't always. Hire the most expensive lawyer you can find and fight even dirtier if it comes to that.
Date_Rate 8y ago
Child support is a joke and is commonly used as bonus alimony, because it's based on the income not on the child's needs. Watch the documentary Divorce Corp.
Never marry, ever.
renzy77 8y ago
And guess what, nowhere is it written that she has to prove that the money you're sending her is being spent on the kids.
For all you know, those monthly checks you're sending are financing the vacations she's taking with the guy she left you for.
voomer53 8y ago
My ex used to cash the child support checks at the liquor store - true story.
Date_Rate 8y ago
True. Another bonus is that where alimony is tax deductible, child support isn't, and the amount you need to pay her is after taxes.
VirtuaSaturn 8y ago
This has really been bugging me lately. I really want to continue my family and my traditions someday, but I do see that marriage is a trap.
Date_Rate 8y ago
Why does it bug you? I know what you feel because I felt it myself. When I really thought about it I was only hamstering, there is no benefit for me in marriage.
Or are you wondering about child support? I've seen many couples have kids and not get married, and it works out fine. Yes you would still be on the hook for CS, but I believe by being red pilled your chances of picking the wrong woman and making grave mistakes on your part are already 10 times slimmer. Not to mention that by refusing marriage, you will get a woman who wants you and not the ring/status/wedding.
Personally I'm still divided on getting kids, but there's still time so we'll see.
[deleted] 8y ago
There's two ways of still achieving it man. One way is to have children out of wedlock and pay CS as date_rate says. This will take a bit of financial planning but it's viable. The other is to use a surrogate (after making sure all the paperwork is looked over by a lawyer) and raise the child(ren) yourself or with the help of a quality lady. Finding one who's sterile will help here

Money. Her Aunt and Uncle are wealthy and financed her divorce. I spent 30k and was done. No more money for the divorce. They'd create paper storms week after week, dispositions of everybody including my boss and my employees at work. It just went on and on. They got the judge to believe I had hidden money, assets, the usual. So even thought the state only allows for 22% of your gross by law she got 46% of my gross or 60% of my net. Judges can do that.

Marriage means you found a hooker that you like, and she's willing to settle down with one client. A wife is a just a one-client hooker.
That's how God himself intended it to be.
fromdario 8y ago
At the age of 13, I asked my grandfather for an (admittedly stupid) bday gift.
He told me, “you are a man, go get a job and buy it yourself if you really want it.”
So I went and got a job and have been gainfully employed every since and relying on only myself to survive.
At the age of 15, he asked if I had a girlfriend. I started to complain about difficult girls (which was really me being a pussy) at my school.
He told me, “I should focus on my own happiness and go after the girls I want without apology and without compromise now that I was young.”
Took the advice and put myself and my family and friends above every woman. Was confident and direct with women, approached often. Watched as I got what I wanted in relationships again and again.
In my 20’s, my grandmother told me I should settle down and get married. My grandfather told me privately, “don’t get married until you find a woman who makes you a better person and improves your life…. and one you can’t stop wanting to fuck.” he chuckled.
In my 30s and still single, but with great friends/family, great career and several quality plates.
Context: Grandfather immigrated to the US as a teenager with nothing and built a very successful medium size business on no education.
(for transparency, this was paraphrased because this was all years ago but I remember the spirit of the advice.)
Thanks Grandpa.

I think this is gold, both people have to have some value, can't just leech off each other.

He wasn't all that TRP if his first marriage failed and he remarried. Glad it worked out the second time but I wouldn't say he's all alpha. More likely his second wife is more RPW.
sandbm5 8y ago
He actually cheated on his first wife with his current wife lol
oldredpillhardmode 8y ago
Maybe that has something to do with the need for a second wife. Didn't he break a commitment to his first wife by cheating?
sandbm5 8y ago
He did but his ex was a complete bitch. Telling him what he needed to do to make her happy, made him buy her things to prove his love etc. the circumstances were justified
[deleted] 8y ago
I'm sorry, but I hear about relationships failing all the time despite a guy pledging his commitment. Women don't feel obligated to give her provider sex. He has to earn it and her love on a daily basis, because she forgets about it on a daily basis. As soon as she starts feeling bad, whatever that specific bad feeling may be, she looks outward and blames it on the person closest. And as soon as someone else earns her love, she gets a free social pass because Chad was a better dude on day 534, despite the 533 days Roger was a great, nice guy. I don't doubt your grandpa is an awesome guy, but I think he's doing a lot of other things right, more than confirming the "contract" you talk about. Practically every guy does this and we still have a ridiculous feminized culture and rights-stripped manosphere. This idea of justice and balance and accountability in a relationship as a foundation of love is overwhelmingly absent in women.
[deleted] 8y ago
[deleted]
[deleted] 8y ago
I never specified how a man earns a woman's love in a LTR, so yes, it has to been done correctly, obviously, which is counter intuitive to most guys. But to be clear, it means constantly improving your value as a human being, providing consistent leadership in the relationship, and keeping yourself and your mate accountable for all of her actions, which means her mistakes and betrayals have consequences. The idea of a business contract is a good way to think of it, but you have to avoid making covert contracts with yourself and crying when the terms are violated. I think we can agree it all comes down to being punished for injustice and actually treating a woman as an accountable human being.

We (foolishly) dump our elderly into old age homes and let them mentally rot.
My grandfathers on both sides died before I was old enough to remember them. I have always wanted a grandfather to talk to, I couldn't imagine getting rid of your parents or grandparents like this. Considering how RP my surviving grandmother is, my grandfather would have had tons of great wisdom, from a lifetime of experience.
sandbm5 8y ago
It's a shame however, that's there's a slim chance of finding a woman like that in this generation. It's not impossible but extremely unlikely.
thenemaxofredpill 8y ago
You gotta train your woman. You are the captain and should set the standard and expect no less. You are looking for a business partner. If your business partner is not handling her side of the deal, then you stop doing business with her. Plain and simple. I constantly tell my LTR that this is just business when she give me shit about not telling her that I love her. I tell her it is just business and I like doing business with her and if she wants all that lovey dovey shit, then she needs to date a woman.
Started dating her when she was 22 and just won a big miss black pageant so she was all in the whole "I don't need a man but I will SETTLE for a guy who is rich and owns homes and travels and blah blah" stage. I pulled great game and then left her hanging for a month. Chick tracked me down through my friends and we dated ever since. Told her that she is more than welcome to go and wait for Mr. Prince Charming if she wants or she can get a grip and see what she has in front of her. You gotta keep these entitled bitches in check else they will run all over you and think you inferior.

I think he's 100% correct. The culture today isn't what it used to be, women aren't willing to follow anything more than basic emotions, and emotions will always lead you to cheating. Our society is too open and sex is too everywhere. That being said, good! Monogamy is so much more work than polyamory and such less satisfying, we aren't swans.
alcathiax 8y ago
Exactly. In fact, I saw this video about a self-proclaimed and proud "chauvinist" who apparently understands women all too well. He looks like he lifts and he is to the point. Video on YouTube
thenemaxofredpill 8y ago
Nice video. Dude was a boss and held frame well. Check out Dick Masterson on Youtube. Dude is also a boss.
renzy77 8y ago
The problem is with the "contract" that this kind of business partner comes with: if you sign a contract with this business partner, your "partner" can then renege on her end of the contract at any time and take your house, your kids, a significant portion of your assets and force you to send her monthly checks for the next 18 years of your life or face jail time if you fail to pay.
Nobody would legally bind themselves to such terms with a contract like that in the business world, but if you put the word "marriage" in front of it suddenly men are like lemmings off a cliff.
thenemaxofredpill 8y ago
I agree. I do not advocate marriage contracts. I do advocate free will business partnership. Meaning, LTR at the max.

Cyralea 8y ago
Not sure if your grandfather was aware, but that's exactly what oxytocin does (along with vasopressin). They're the love chemicals responsible for pair-bonding. After a few years they diminish to almost nothing -- the median age in which the effects of this were documented was around 4 years. Unsurprisingly divorce rates start heavily climbing after this duration.
Your grandfather may not have been a learned man, but you can tell he was a wise one.
[deleted] 8y ago
Where I live is pretty common for young people to get in LTR's in their 18-20 years. However I noticed a very interesting pattern - most of these LTR end around the 6 year mark. Is almost always the woman who initiates the break up. I know about 25 couples who break up this way and only two of these break ups were initiated by the man.
I live in the southern europe so feminism is not a big thing here. Slut shaming is still strong especially in small cities so I guess this makes girls gravitate torwards LTR than riding the CC.
Anyway, I think oxytocin plays a role in these scenarios. Maybe it's a way of nature to force women get new genes?
Cyralea 8y ago
That's exactly what it is. Women are pair-bonded for a few years because the first few years of a child's life were historically the most vulnerable, for both child and mother. Evolution worked out such that cheating at around 5 years was a more optimal reproductive strategy for women than simply remaining pair-bonded to the same mate.
Dustin_Bromain 8y ago
Do you have any sources on "pair-bonding"? I find it incredibly interesting.
itsbooming 8y ago
The pair bonding effects of oxytocin are widely published but I'm interested in the 4 year thing. Deserves a post.

Pubmed article.
Divorce rate peaks at 5-9 years post-marriage.
I can't find the specific article that documents the declining trend of oxytocin, I'll update if I can locate it.
