That doesn't work as well if you don't follow it with "You're overreacting"


And if that doesn’t do it, just calmly say “you’re being a little crazy”

It’s like magic.

Happy wife = Happy life


One of the most damaging statements ever invented. It implies that her happiness is all that ever counts and a man should do everything she wants.
First off, what about the man’s happiness?
Second, if you give her everything she wants every time she demands it, she will view you as weak and probably leave you.

Only a woman overthinks this much

I feel that there is a lot of details being left out here!

Or a man who has lived it and spent a long time studying the topic. Plus, each person is responsible for his/her own happiness, and if you look to someone else to provide it, you are doomed

Exactly. Don't put the pussy on a pedestal.

Not to go all incel, but of course it's right.

In 1955 that slogan probably had a lot of truth to it. It's not necessarily false now, but what qualifies as "happy wife" has drastically changed and probably, in this context, not really for the better in a lot of cases.

Unfortunately I just don't think "putting your wife/gf on a pedestal" is sound advice in a lot of/most scenarios today. Which, candidly, sucks. I think a lot of guys grew up seeing some variant of that - see it as an ideal really - and try and map it onto modern dating/relationships and it's just a very awkward (and often self-destructive) fit.

Frick that. I mean yeah, within reason. If you have to put yourself in a position where youre miserable (debt, working multiple jobs, not hunting or fishing at all, etc) to make your wife happy then that shite ain't worth it.


If making your wife happy requires you to be miserable, you’ve chosen poorly when it comes to a wife.

I lost my first two loves to cancer. Taught me patience and tolerance.

Most people that get married don't have the right discussions:
What do you want to do when you retire?
Do you want to go to Disney every year, and consider Mexico a foreign destination?
What are your goals for 10 years from now?
Is your idea of fun driving from TX to Illinois to California and back every summer?
What do you consider "camping?"

Agree with everything she says. Then, she'll eventually view you as soft and unwilling to fight for what you believe in, so she'll look for another man to put up with her shite.


This is why you remain mysterious and don’t reveal any of your true beliefs.

It allows flexibility in these cases in order to appear like your convictions just align with hers

Ride in and hitch your horse to the post. Go to local cathouse, have fun, get clean, get on horse and leave town.

I can tell you're so much of a man you don't have iron on your hip, 100% of the time when it's legal. And sometimes not legal.

ETA: If you don't carry on a date, when clothing permits, because you're scared of how she'll react, you're part of the problem. If you're going to carry, you don't have to beat them over the head with it, but they're going to feel it when they hug you.

Think of a man, then take away reason and accountability.
