In the last comment thread Rational Male regular, Glenn, had an interesting exchange that went like this:
My marriage exactly. And she really did turn on me by the time my daughter was 2, also having two miscarriages. It was as though a switch went off and she simply fucking hated me. In my case, I had too much dignity and many women who were interested in me who seemed quite fine, so I put my foot down and my ex then just began an affair with a Plan B she had in the wings (hotties always have a Plan B guys, especially wives). She married him and destroyed him too, but it wrecked my relationship with my daughter along the way. So much destruction and pain.
I often look back on my marriage now from the RP perspective and have started to blame myself for not being more dominant and not seeing shit tests for what they were etc, but I also wonder if there was anything I could have done? She was hot, there were always good looking guys willing to fuck her ā I mean, is it just inevitable for some women?
As I’m finishing up the final edits of the next book, I’m once again reminded of its main purpose ā a cautionary explanation of what men can expect of contemporary women at the various phases of their maturity. In Anger Management I detailed the anger men direct at themselves, not at the women who followed a natural predictable ‘flow’ of rationalizations and social conventions they can be expected to as their conditions in life dictate. Naturally any anger a man may deal with or express in this regard is always presumed to be directed towards women. A feminine dominant social order is one founded on the innate solipsism of women.
Now, before I dig in a bit deeper here, I want to make clear that while Glenn’s comment started my thinking process about this week’s topic, what I’m going to get at here isn’t a reflection on anything personal. His story of being “turned on” by a wife he believed was playing on his team is a very common one related by many a post-divorced man using the hindsight of a Red Pill lens.
I’m adding this caveat since only Glenn can really say for himself whether his mindset at the time he first met, and later married, the wife who turned on him was colored by Blue Pill idealism and / or a Beta self-perception. My guess, as with most men in his situation, was that he actually had what was a realistic expectation of a reciprocal relationship based on what he thought would be her genuine appreciation of his efforts and merits.
Betas at the Epiphany
I’ve discussed in several prior threads the Alpha Fucks / Beta Bucks strategy women use in both the short and long term. What I think needs a bit more explanation is the long term effects of that strategy on the Beta man’s mindset as a result of his fem-centric conditioning.
When a woman approaches and enters into her Epiphany Phase, she has a limbic understanding that her genetic chips need to be cashed in with a man who has ‘proper’ long term provisioning potential. For the greater part, those men are at least expected by women to have a Blue Pill, Beta conditioning that will make them more compliant with, now, what’s becoming an unignorable open Hypergamy.
These are the men Sheryl Sandberg describes as,
“ā¦someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home.”
These are nice euphemisms used to describe a man willing to accept his position of powerlessness in the grand scheme of feminine-primacy and open Hypergamy for his participation in realizing women’s dominant sexual strategy.
The Beta man encountering this new found attraction convinces himself that women’s interest in him is genuine and organic. In a sense it is, but although this attraction (not to be confused with arousal) is perceived as genuine on the part of women, it’s an attraction born of necessity. That necessity is the need to consolidate on monogamy with a man who’ll willingly ignore not just her past Alpha Fucks indiscretions, but participate in what he’s been conditioned to believe is his duty as a man from society and start to build a “mature adult” life with her.
A Beta at the Epiphany phase believes his ship has finally come in and his self-righteous AFC strategy of patience and perseverance will be rewarded. The social conventions at the time make him believe he’s to be more lauded for ‘forgiving’ a woman’s past, irrespective of whether he can expect praise for looking past her misgivings.
The Alpha Widow orĀ carousel riding wife-to-be may then convince herself that she in fact actually sees an Alpha potential, or a potential for long term success, in ‘settling’ on that Beta in the long term. While I have had men relate horror stories about women knowing that they were settling and being insecure about their futures before or at the time of their wedding, I’m going to suggest that this foreknowledge is rarelyĀ a conscious aspect of women’s insight. “Turning” on their husband-to-be later in is life rarelyĀ a preconceived plan, but it is a predictable outcome for men who persist in a Beta mindset throughout their marriages.
Getting Her Settled Best
Saving the Best continues to be a seminal post on Rational Male, not the least of which because so many men could relate to the experience. However, this may not have been the experience of discovering a sexual past his wife had no intention of ever allowing him to share with her , but rather the expectation men have of receiving a woman’s ‘sexual best’ in marriage. That may not amount to the sexual experimentation she had in her Party Years, but forĀ a Beta who believes his patience and virtue are to be rewarded at long last it is an expectation of enjoying the same or better sexual urgency his wife-to-be shared with her past lovers.
That Beta believes it’s his turn, because why else would a woman commit to a lifetime investment in a man she didn’t think was her best option?
Remember, during the Epiphany Phase a woman’s rationale for choosing the Beta for a long term investment is because she’s “experienced it all” and finally “knows better than to keep dating the Bad Boys who don’t appreciate her.” Thus the Beta believes heĀ must be the best option for her by virtue of her investment in that belief.
And if she’s finally come to realize he’s the best option, why would sheĀ notĀ expect to enjoy her best sexual performance with him? After all, even Sheryl Sandberg said, “ā¦in time, nothing’s sexier.”
For the Alpha Widow marrying the Beta-in-waiting, the comparison of his sexual appeal with prior lovers conflicts with her need to finalize the long term security she couldn’t with her previous Alphas (or the men she perceived as Alpha). Thus comes reserved, self-restrained and self-conscious sex with her new Beta provider.Ā She knows that sex with her Beta lacks the intensity of her prior lovers, but falls back on her Epiphany Phase rationalizations that she’s “doing it for the right reasons this time”.
That right reason being of course getting pregnant to further consolidate long term provisioning.
Our Beta simply lacks the same sexual experience as his wife-to-be to know any better (unless of course he finds proof of that experience later), but he gradually suspects her progressive lack of passion, reservations and self-consciousness by comparing it to porn or some of the other women’s he’s had sex with.
Social conventions abound for women to rely on as they become less incentivized to have sex with their Beta after the first child. Body image considerations, ‘mismatched libidos’ and “well, sex is supposed to taper off after marriage, everyone knows that” are just some of the prepackaged tropes ready for use.
The Turning
Once the first (and possibly second) child arrives, a woman’s order of intimate priorities changes, “turns” to that of the child. The sex “reward”, the ‘cookie time for good boy’, for desired behavior or performance ‘turns’ off, or sex is used as an intermittent reward for desired behavior (i.e. Choreplay). Sex becomes a utility; a positive reinforcer for her BetaĀ increasing hisĀ provisioning capacity rather than the true visceral enjoyment she had with her past lovers.
This new functionality sex represents to a wife becomes ‘turning’ on her husband who believed he would always be her most intimate priority. In the instance of a woman marrying her ‘Alpha Provider’ this may in fact be the case, but as with the hierarchies of love that Alpha doesn’t have the same concern with, and didn’t marry his wife under the same pre-expectations a Beta does.
For the man who persists in his Beta mindset (or the guy who regresses into that mindset) this ‘turning’ becomes more and more pronounced. The turning comes out of the bedroom and into other aspects of their relationship ā finances, familial ties, her expectations of his ambitiousness, his asserting himself at work or with their mutual friends ā on more and more fronts he’s compared to other men and the ghosts of the Alphas she knows or has known.
Even though the Beta is aware his children are now his wife’s true priority, his Blue Pill conditioning still predisposes him to sacrifices. Again, he meets with ready-made social conventions that shame his discontent; “Is sexĀ all that’s important to you?” It shouldn’t be, because it’s really “what’s on the inside that counts”, but he can’t shake the feeling he’s slipping out of her respect.
This is when Beta Dad doubles down. His Blue Pill expectations of himself require an all-consuming, self-sacrificing predisposition. The horse will work harder. His wife may have lost respect for him by this point, but his sense of honor and duty press him on. He doesn’t want to be like his oppressive or non-present father was. He wants to ‘out-support’ his father’s ghost, or what he believes ‘other guys’ would do when their marriages get tough.
So he waits it out, but she’s ‘turned’ on him by this point. It wasn’t planned, but all of his martyr-like determination only makes her that much more resentful for having settled on this Beta. After a certain stressing point, her disinterest or indignation goes even beyond his capacity to stay committed to a losing investment. These are the guys who tell me, “Damn Rollo, where where you when I was 30? I wish I’d known then what I know now.”
Do all marriages and relationships follow this schedule? No, but it’s important that men know the signs, understand what’s really expected of them and know when they’re being settled on despite all a woman’s self-interested refutations of that. It’s important they realize that performance isn’t limited to how well they meet a woman’s expectations, but that performance means ignoring those preconceptions and exceeding them because he has a passion to excel on his own, and for himself.
It’s important that he lives in his own Frame and that any woman, wife or otherwise, participates in his Frame at his pleasure. Beta men rarely have those expectations, beginning from a position of scarcity and a preconditioned responsibility to forgive a woman’s sexual strategy while still being gushingly appreciative that sheĀ chose him to settle on.
@Bad Painter… how is marriage beneficial to a man? (this is a good/best scenario – where both partners have decided to meet each others’ needs and commit to each other only). Benefits: amazing sex (I know… apparently many women drop the ball on this one, but if you’re up front about this as being a non-negotiable in your marriage, then its out there and should be a benefit), constant (through the years) & frequent passionate sex (again, apparently very hard to find… same above disclosure applies), a partner in doing life together, a companion to pursue goals (any life goals…… Read more »

Badpainter,
Just to make my position clear, I don’t think casual sex for women always results in pump&dump – sometimes it results in a loving relationship. Same for marriage. It’s an emotional decision and not a rational one nowadays. Thus, to sell a woman casual sex, one does not rely on using logic. And to sell marriage to a man, I bet the method is the same.
re: “Benefits: amazing sex (I knowā¦ apparently many women drop the ball on this one, but if youāre up front about this as being a non-negotiable in your marriage, then its out there and should be a benefit), constant (through the years) & frequent passionate sex (again, apparently very hard to findā¦ same above disclosure applies)” Badpainter makes the point about the all-too typical bait and switch clearly enough, so I’ll make a few different points. 1) In a marriage “amazing sex” is identical to, defined by, “constant and frequent passionate sex.” To even be able to think otherwise, much… Read more »

Besides marriage conveying to men the considerable benefits of #1.

More concretely, this is really a benefit to *women*: married *women* get better sex, and more orgasms, etc. we have several other putative… Read more »
@ Emma the emo
I agree. I think, however, a man sells marriage to himself based on his situation. I really can’t think of a more life altering decision. And while emotion plays a not insignificant role the logic of the whole thing has to be there. That logic of course is in some part based on what he sees as the benefits of marriage vs. the benefits of being single. That calculus has changed a lot in the last 20 years.
re: casual sex study
“Women like casual sex just as much as men! Even more so! Women are better at being men than men are! Hah hah! Take that, you bad boys who used me and dumped me! I was using you! I would have dumped you, but I was trying to trick you into thinking it wasn’t as casual, see.”
In my marriage… My ex wife always put put. She did whatever I wanted and I have the videos to prove it. This confuses me to this day. Everything I read, none of it truly explains my marriage.

Heartiste makes the usual claim that it is best to exhibit preselection by a higher SMV girl. In actuality, preselection works best when the girl is clearly sluttier. I’m talking her squirming like things-probably-oozing-out-of-her sluttier.
Maybe we’re saying the same thing, but I think not. Women *love* to compete with sluts for men’s attention; women do not want to compete with actually high value women, since they’d lose.
re: preselection
It makes perfect sense from a sexual conflict perspective. Recall, the key concept is women doing their best to oppose men’s reproductive strategies. So here’s the explanation, in toto: If a man shows up with another woman he is clearly going to have sex with, she feels compelled to intervene.
It couldn’t be shorter or more direct.
I have to say, the more I hear about Tinder, the less I want the hassle of all those women. There wouldn’t be any plausible deniability, and all those scorned women would firebomb my house.
All women are sluts. You just have to give them the opportunity, the safety, the intimacy, and the trust. So they can be a slut for you. It’s inherent in their programming. The married guys need to work their game hard to make their wives want to be their slut. Else they have lost. What a constant battle to wage. When they see you at your worst and rarely at your best because you save that for your job. No wonder the successful cultures put restraints on women.

@zdr01dz, re: “But there is another large group of women that love sex.
I donāt know what the true percentages are”
Desired monthly frequency of sex tells the entire story. Young women after the honeymoon period consider ten times a month to be “all the time”, while young men think it is “hardly ever”. The overlap between men and women is not large at all. Most lesbian couples experience bed death within the first year.
Most women don’t even bother masturbating to climax, much less do so frequently.
In all honesty zdr01dz I doubt it breaks into thirds. Briffault’s (sp) law comes immediately to mind. Do some enjoy it? Yes, no doubt. Do they even casually reach the tiers of desire that men have? A scant few perhaps, but only with medications applied, otherwise, hardly. Lesbian bed death, which jf12 mentioned, is very real and very well documented at this point.

The less she needs provisioning, the less impulse there is outside of a “natural” drive she’ll feel to scratch… Read more »

Me too. I hear it from my own, naturally, but most women all claim to know they ought to appreciate what their husbands do, so plenty of women claim that they do appreciate it.

She should instead be doing for him, and HE should be judging HER on her performance.

Your reasoning error is of distribution. Betas are sold the hypothetical vaj; some alphas want sweetness, warmth, and loyalty since they already have as much vaj as they want.

Hence the woman’s orgasming is negatively correlated with her perception of passion and hotness. She rewards the reproductive behaviors in men that go against his ability to reproduce with other women.

Forget Brazzers. Have you seen what actual lesbians look like? It’s amazing they can keep it going for a year. [Shudder]
Great stuff. …a couple caveat I would note from my experience through divorce and ongoing, red-pill ascension. #1 – Being alpha in a marriage does *not* protect you against being turned on by a wife. When her desire to get what she wants – to provision – runs up against your assertive setting of limits and financial priorities, she will rebel. She doesn’t want that type of alpha. I was a typical blue-pill conditioned man through 17 years of marriage and 3 kids. However, as I aged, I became stronger and more assertive – more manly and alpha-like. ‘No, you… Read more »
@jf12 Wow!!! So cynical – LOL!!! š You sound way more cynical than normal about the benefits!! Oh my goodness! You said: “1) In a marriage āamazing sexā is identical to, defined by, āconstant and frequent passionate sex.ā To even be able to think otherwise, much less be able to say otherwise, says a lot about ā¦ a lot. 2) EVERY MAN was always āup front about this as being a non-negotiableā. Donāt you dare blame men for womenās dropping the ball. Her biology is not his fault. Her psychology is not his fault. 3) āapparently very hard to findā… Read more »
@ girltatooblahblahblah – Oh, so women don’t know that men expect that their wives will continue to want to have sex with them frequently once they get married? Lol, what the fuck are you talking about? This is not due to men’s “naivete” – it’s due to women’s perfidy. But we don’t understand women, that’s true. We are taught they are morally superior to us and that the highest achievement of a man’s life is to win the “love” of a woman. Women created these lies, not men. Romantic love and courtly love, along with it’s vassalage is a female… Read more »
I’m not trying to blame men at all… online conversations are insane… I’m so sorry for what you went through, I’ve seen that scenario many times which is why I try to write about those issues. BadPainter asked what were the benefits… I tried to explain from my own experience and understanding. I’m 28… so obviously I don’t know everything.
Look Glenn, you sound like you really loved your daughter… I’m sorry I assumed you didn’t, you sound like an asshole here, but maybe its just all the pain and hurt you’ve internalized. I hope you find healing, and truly do hope your daughter relationship is repaired at some point.
Healing won’t come from arguing with me back and forth me. We should just leave it & let it go. I wish the best for you.
“Betas are sold the hypothetical vaj; some alphas want sweetness, warmth, and loyalty since they already have as much vaj as they want. Those alphas make a rational decision.” This jives with what I see. Which is really just one of the many manifestations of “wait for it”. Hypothetical vaj is the shoehorn for slipping a beta into the pre-defined “relationship” of her choosing. Because she is not sufficiently being lubed-up by his alpha traits she instead lubes-up the beta up with the potential. “Some require pr0nst@r sex, but that is irrational since it contradicts the loyalty requirement.” This is… Read more »
Let’s go along with the thesis that women are 100% hard-wired for hypergamy, and there are no environmental influences that can change this. This would absolve all women of any and all responsibility for any of their sexual behaviors, since the argument would be that they are not free agents. Their sexual preferences are completely pre-determined and their environment/upbringing, etc., has absolutely no bearing on this at all. They are like robots operating from a program that is set in stone, no matter what time period they were born in or what culture they were raised in. In that line… Read more »
@rpa We have power when weāre single. We know it. Women know it. And things just work better when men have power in relationships with women Yeah, I agree with this. I know Rollo has written about how cohabitation without marriage is bad, but I feel like if done with careful arrangement so as not to find yourself trapped by common-law or contractual obligation you can maintain your power. If at any moment you can remove her from your life without any legal or financial ramifications (and you find subtle ways to keep her aware of it), it acts as… Read more »
re: “many men arenāt even AWARE that theyāll have these needs”
Oh come one! “There was this one guy I heard about once. I think he may have lived in Japan and got his testicles nuked or something.” EVERY MAN has been well aware of his needs since the first day of puberty, and has striven (strived? stroveded?) mightily to control his needs since about, er, the first week of puberty.
Oh come on …
re: cohabitation
Cohabitors suffer the exact same post-honeymoon deblissification as married folks suffer. It seems to be the woman’s constant contact with the man that dooms it, e.g. incest avoidance etc.
Regarding the comment about sex by girlwithadragonflytattoo amazing sex is different to me, because its like pornstar sex ā ridiculously visceral sexā¦ thatās not the same to me as just āpassionate sexā which could be almost the same but is usually more romantic. A good marriage has both, and sex is frequent like as in 3-5 times a week or almost daily. I know this is the internet but I’ll take her at her word. There are a lot of women that enjoy a good pounding. Remember your work-buddy who told you at lunch that his wife squirts and has… Read more »
Note that “usually more romantic” gets an automatic demotion from a woman, one she feels is so obvious it doesn’t even need explaining.
@zdr01dz, re: “her word.”
Her word is that amazing sex is different from
1)constant
2)frequent
3)passionate
Hence it must be
1)inconstant
2)infrequent
and last but not least
3)dispassionate
which she further defines as unromantic and all about the man forcing his needs on her.
@ jf12
which she further defines as unromantic and all about the man forcing his needs on her.
Yep, that’s why it is called a good pounding. Girls want to be taken. That’s what women love to read about. It’s an element in every romance novel.
“And then the equal, beta provider approached me and asked me if I would be willing to have sex on my terms after I felt comfortable.”
That story line turns on exactly zero women.
@sun I’ve been thinking about cohabitation myself (having a girlfriend of a year+). I think it definitely blocks some of the worst types of emasculation marriage inflicts on men today. But it prevents us from creating space in the relationship. Creating space and separation is something that seems so important in managing relationships with women. It’s how you assert your power and protect your own identity. In my heart of hearts, I know I’m happiest having my own home and my own personal space, but still having a stable relationship with a woman. They, of course, hate this because they… Read more »
re: “Girls want to be taken”
Yes, but not constantly, and not frequently. The conundrum for a man is that he wants it constantly (or at least frequently). It is, her word, “ridiculous”, to expect a man to conform to a woman’s schedule and to only pound her when she wants it,
Where does an apparently aware woman get off speculating that most men don’t KNOW their own needs? How did such a woman NOT get the idea that men are forced to mightly suppress their needs?
@ jf12
Yes, but not constantly, and not frequently.
It’s my experience that when a woman is really turned on she wants it just as much as I do. But the frequency of having strong desire is about 50% less. Your mileage may vary.
@jf12
Cohabitors suffer the exact same post-honeymoon deblissification as married folks suffer.
I have no doubt you’re right. That’s half the reason I consider the arrangement valid. When that happens, it’s time to move on. If you ever find a unicorn where it doesn’t and your game is solid, maybe consider escalation to full on marriage. But it seems like a better solution than taking the full plunge, then saying the exact title of this article followed by “… then took half my shit and the kids” when it turns out you were wrong about her.
jf12 – “How did such a woman NOT get the idea that men are forced to mightly suppress their needs?”
The same place men got the “be nice”, “just be yourself” message; other women.
re: “when a woman is really turned on”
Nobody argues otherwise. The points of interesting debate are
1) How she gets that way with the least effort on his part
2) How should he best try to make her that way more frequently
3) What’s in it for him? Why should he exert himself at all for *her* reproductive strategies, instead of relentlessly promoting his own needs?
I can hardly wait for the Hamsterpocalypse when the 50 Shades of Grey movie premiers next month.
You want to see Open Hypergamy in its rawest self-conflicting dichotomy? You want to see women tear themselves apart from the inside out trying to both deny and affirm the truths of the story’s popularity? Just wait until February 14th.
@Sun Wukong, re: “When that happens, itās time to move on. If you ever find a unicorn where it doesnāt”
This cohabiting things is exactly women’s reproductive strategy: serial monogamy for a couple of years or so for each ltr. And she has a live-in lightbulb changer too. Win-win for women. Not clear what is in it for men.
Cohabitors suffer the exact same post-honeymoon deblissification as married folks suffer. My best friend moved in with his girlfriend back in our college days. They fought constantly. A couple of years later they got married. After marriage they continued their endless bickering. Fast forward to last month I was over at their house. My buddy was drinking a beer while we played video games in his office. His wife walked in the room and started an innocuous conversation. Out of nowhere he turned on her and let her have it. The screamfest began and I could tell she was scared.… Read more »
Man’s optimal reproductive strategy for his needs, in a nutshell.
Step 1. Pound your woman good. Skittles, maybe, if she’s nice.
Step 2. Pound another woman good. Not even skittles.
Step 3. Pound another woman good. She brings the skittles.
See the pattern?
Woman’s optimal reproductive strategy, thumbnail sketch.
Step 1. She doesn’t let any of those nasty boys do anything.
Step 2. Well one of them was special and he could do anything, until she didn’t want to any more with him.
Step 3. Another one was more special.
Rinse, repeat.
@ droid
Are you kidding me? She does all the cooking, cleaning, holiday planning, birthdays, etc. etc. All the old school girl stuff. And yes, sheās American.
LOL, all that 5h1t is for her. She has to feed the plowhorse and clean up his stall; she needs to eat and live there, too. Do you seriously care about holidays or birthdays?
@jf12
serial monogamy for a couple of years or so for each ltr
You think I’m suggesting the male be faithful during this time?

@ Rollo
I can hardly wait for the Hamsterpocalypse when the 50 Shades of Grey movie premiers next month.
I’m embarrassed to admit this but my wife asked me to take her to see 50 Shades if she can’t align schedules with her lowbrow friend. At least I get to see boobs.
If this happens I’m going in redpill aware and I’ll be sure to write a book report. My hope is that the middle-aged women in the audience put on a good show for me. Cries, gasps, nervous laughter.
@ jf12
Step 3. Pound another woman good. She brings the skittles.
Women have always brought the skittles for me, including Mrs. Gamer. She doesn’t like having to bring the skittles.
@ Sun Wukong
What tag do you use to post photos? That’s awesome.
Despite women’s too-commonly wistful false memories of actively seeking good poundings plural, the truth is that as soon as any woman gets to feeling any degree of sexual power the very first thing she discards from the sexual relationship is the quickies. She then constantly ups his performance requirements, requiring enormous amounts of foreplay and other activities.
Her choices betray her real feelings.
@Rollo
Defintely going to be a hamsterapocalypse, got that movie and valentines day on the same day, jeez. Im actually trying see if I can use these two events in conjunction to my advantage, could be reward full.
Also, you need to do something about the comments section, needs like a overhaul or upgrading, there aren’t even any page counters, makes it a hassle just to get to the last page/latest comment lol.
@ Glenn
GWADFT doesn’t understand feminine sexuality–it’s clear. Her ideas fly in the face of it. Give her points for trying, though.
@ jf12
She then constantly ups his performance requirements, requiring enormous amounts of foreplay and other activities.
For me it went in the opposite direction. On balance each Time+1 has meant less foreplay and more sex.
@Badpainter, re: other women.
I don’t think it’s other women that make women destroy relationships. I think women destroy things just fine by themselves.
“Youre not meeting my needs! Waah! Ok, well, you’re right. You have been meeting my needs. Too well! You’re not meeting my needs for you to ignore my needs! Waah!”
@tasdg, re: “Give her points for trying, though.”
Yes, major props for that.
I am embarrassed to say that I never read those two linked posts Rollo. I must have taken a longer break from the manosphere than I realized. It was funny to read/think about the female projection onto 35-45 year old men who know their relative SMV. It is pure projection and it comes from a perspective of a lifetime of untempered getting what you want. Only someone who has spent their entire life getting what they want sexually would suggest that someone who has worked their ass to get where they are on the SMV scale is only looking for… Read more »
I really hope I’m not too late to the party here, because I have something really important to say. Do you really believe that a virgin who marries a man who does not inspire sexual arousal is going to have a great marriage? Is she really more “bonded” to her beta husband? If she is attractive, is she really impervious to the good looking sexy men who may give her the eye? I agree that women reach an epiphany at some point that they have to stop dating exciting but unreliable guys, but I don’t think past sexual experience is… Read more »
Re: 50 Shades

tell her you will take her if she wears a BDSM collar, for fun

Indeed, please describe your “happy medium”, in detail. And then, please describe how consistent your definition of a “happy medium” is across the female landscape. And then, just for fun, please haul out your diary/journal since before you were 18, and collate all your descriptions of “happy medium” throughout your life.

@girl I think the tl;dr of all the responses you’re getting here is pretty simple: pay attention to what you and other women DO, not what they SAY or THINK. Actions speak a helluva lot louder than words, and I can tell you that in my experience women’s actions don’t line up with any of the words you’re typing here. And if these dudes sound mad, they are. But not at you, per se. You’re just the messenger. They’re mad at a culture that tossed them aside, treated them as toxic waste, lied to them, strip mined them for value,… Read more »
@Jeremy – what point are you trying to make? I am merely stating that some characteristics that are sexy are known to make someone an undesirable partner, such as very high novelty seeking, for example. This is true whether we are talking about the male race car driving alcoholic or the female porn star, as extreme examples. A happy medium is some combination of sexy and reliable. For women that looks like someone physically fit, with a backbone and self respect, who does not take shit (passes shit tests and uses some dread game), and who maneuvers through the world… Read more »
@Glenn …One of my wifeās older sisters married a traditional, older guy and she was quite traditional herself. During the post baby time, my ex became increasingly derisive and insulting towards me publicly. Escalating or ignoring didnāt help.
