But we're not made of stone here, at least I'm not. If you are banging a chick for long enough you will develop some kind of pair bond, and eventually that will lead to emotional investment, and it's concomitant pain, one way or the other.
That's how they get you.
Don't Bang Crazy.
An old acquaintance messaged me today, I hadn't seen him since 2008. In 2008 he was just coming off of a divorce, but fit, and rebuilding his life, getting back on track.
His message to me recently? His ex-wife, who he married because, in his words, "she was a fellow Christian," had committed a crime involving his daughter, a crime which made the papers, while she was intoxicated with her new shaved-head, bearded boyfriend, and my acquaintance was down to grasping at straws to find money for an attorney, to try to save his daughter from more chaos in her environment.
The man is out of shape, can't focus, and financially destroyed. He probably hasn't had a clear thought in his head in years.
Look, betas are going to beta, but it's my hope that a few of them will read the stuff on the forum and avoid a lifetime of misery.
The guys here talking about "get with the times, man," "all women are sluts," "it's ok because I'm more alpha than the rest," those guys have no clue how hard their ass is going to get destroyed, their lack of self-control in regards to pussy and a feeling of invincibility blinds them to what lies on the road ahead.
That, or they're judgment proof and have a high tolerance for a low-quality life.
The rules on what qualities make for a good wife were written far before our time, by men far wiser than any of us, and the human species has not fundamentally changed since then.
The men that wrote these rules were trying to give future generations a leg up, if our egos persuade us to disregard their advice, we do so at our own peril.
The sad part is that for your acquaintance, inspite of the ex's craziness, he has very little chance of rescuing his daughter. Courts very rarely do much of anything to the custodial mother which is what I'm assuming she is right now.
I really feel sorry for young guys today, it is very hard to find a proper woman to trust enough to wife up. A lot of these girls have slept around way too much, so many are on antidepressant meds and hell even the so called chaste girls have other issues like entitlement and spoiled princess syndrome. Not to mention that most women are feminists on one level or another. Take this case that the OP Mensch has posted for us to dissect. Clearly something is not sitting right with him, thus the post and appeal for advice. Look, girls that have lots of issues can still be loving and caring, that's innate in most human beings. They can even make decent ltrs. The problem though is that eventually, these red flags will eventually blow up and create a serious mess that often cannot get cleaned up without much pain and anguish. Typically it happens after you get married and have kids with the woman.
Men need to be uncompromising. They need to aspire to be the highest value they can be. You want a great woman, then you better start and be great first. Or else you're going to end up with crap to choose from. If you are high value, then you get to be uncompromising and demand that your woman be of high value, behave in a proper manner and accept nothing less from her. You hold the leverage because your the prize, not her. Too many of these chicks think that they are the prize and I make it clear that they most certainly are not. Too many guys want to accept compromises that they can't ultimately live with because they don't want to lose the chick. But at what cost? If more men would demand more from their women, and be less pussified, we wouldn't be in this mess.
As far as what Rat said, I think he's an older guy like me who's been through the ringer with women so it matters much less to us if we get with chicks who have seen beaucoup dick. Lord knows I ain't ever getting married again. For younger guys though, no, you need to find something decent and lead and mold her to what you want her to be, not the other way around. If she ain't down with that program, then toss her ass overboard without remorse.
