i feel like the worst thing to happen was online dating apps such as tinder


This is it for me 100%. I'm a workaholic. I don't invest time and effort into significant relationships women. It isn't a priority for me. I'm a decent looking guy, in shape, with a surprisingly quick wit for someone who learned to read in Mississippi...

I go on Tinder/Bumble, cast a wide net, and boom there is, a hit it and quit it or maybe I've found a fwb. They could be 4's, they could be 8's, but in the end I have had to put minimal effort into the situation and I've gotten laid.

The availability generated by these apps has created quite a slippery slope.

Change the learn to read in Mississippi to Louisiana and you pretty much describe my current situation.

This is basically what happened in the African American community. I'll let you decide how you think that has been working out.

Sometimes the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if there has been a concerted effort to destroy the nuclear family via imbalanced divorce courts and welfare. There's no denying the influence that a strong family contributes to determining success in future generations. I've wondered if certain individuals wanted to remove that influence and thus reduce the future competition for themselves and their own.

I believe it's part of the communist plan for subverting America from way back when.


It is. In his amazing biography of Pope John Paul II, Witness to Hope author George Weigel went into the Soviet and Polish archives. These forces were in play, in Poland, from 1946 onward. Make it to where BOTH parents have to work, and at different times meaning there's no family time; put the kids in school, and they'll never see one parent for long periods. Put them in summer camps, sexualize them, promote abortion, and before long, there nuclear family is no longer the norm, or the "authority" but instead, the State becomes the substitute.

Then, you have subservient little Statists who turn into subservient apparatchiks who value so little but whatever the State tells them to value.

Western society has followed suit, but instead of forcing it down their throats like the Communists, it's been one little "movement" after another, including feminism, no-fault divorce, "empowerment" "Having it all," and we've embraced all those things that the Eastern Europeans took sixty years to throw off. Western society is behind this curve, right now, and we are just now, really, feeling the effects so badly.

Let's be honest, most of the really high-value women that would make a guy want to hang up the spurs wouldn't entertain the idea of anyone other than a successful, driven, established man. Having your career and pursuits other than just pleasing her is part of the charm. If a guy is too available they wouldn't want them anyway.

Being married and doing whatever you want is pretty damn great, too.

Getting married doesn't mean you have to be a pussy.

Question, as a girl (I assume based on your screen name even though you could just be a middle aged dude in his parents’ basement) is the following somewhat accurate?

I have been working on an equation for how women experience “love”, as they do not seem to feel it the same way that men do. For them, it appears to be more situational than it is for men. What would be your opinions on the theory that women experience love when:

(lust + security) x trust > 100
It seems like women are “in love” over 100, but they waffle internally when the score falls between 90 and 100. It seems like once the score drops below 90, they “fall out” of love and start looking for ways to rationalize why it’s his fault and why they need to find someone else.

Does this seem plausible or is there some other factor you would add?
