re: When did men decide 30 is the new 15? (FB post)

there are only so many people on earth smart enough to engage my mind like that. half are male. about 10% of the females are gay, trans, or asexual. so like 10-15% of the population from the outset quickly becomes 6.5-7%. of the entire world and then when you get into location, looks, emotional stability, etc it's just astronomical

At the risk of sounding like a pretentious a-hole, you don't need a woman to check every single one of those boxes. My wife will readily admit we're on a different level intellectually, but that is only a piece of the puzzle. I can find ways to stimulate my mind independent of conversations with my wife, provided she hits many of the other boxes. It is obviously a matter of personal preference.

You're hanging out with the wrong women.

Why would any man willingly decide to have to: 1. Share half his earnings for life whether or not he stays married? 2. Be told he is a caveman because he enjoys the outdoors and or engines? 3. Be told he does not love his children because he won't miss a meeting for a million dollar account to watch a six year old sing a 45 second song in a school play. 4. Take on a second mother (his wife) and third mother (his mother in law) who thinks she knows more about what he needs to do than he does? 5. Be the source of constant disappointment to a wife who is never satisfied with his actions? (Example: If he works in the yard, he does not help in the kitchen. If he loves to cook, he is not a real man.etc)

Yeah, you've definitely got to find a new circle of women. There are women out there where none of your list applies.

---

I wanted to make this post and decided against it But since you started it, I'll echo your thoughts. It's just typical OT to paint marriage that way. Literally nothing from his list applies to my life.

You're making way too much sense here. SFP will be forever alone of that is his standard for a partner. But he also won't veer complain about being in a marriage he didn't want either, so props to him for at least knowing what he needs. Even if those needs are for lack of a better phrase, basically unattainable.

i will get bored and either want to move on and seek out new stimulation or go evil and manipulate her

been down that road before a few times

, fair enough.

The dating pool outside of casual sex is completely awful for my generation. The amount of vapid girls who don't know how to clean or cook, engage in conversation outside of TV and movies, get trashed on a regular basis, etc is astounding. I can't blame anyone who opts out of the serious dating pool.

damn bro Laffy is that bad?

i was thinking of potentially relocating there to broaden my horizons

According to this retard we need to commit for the sake of committing

Why should I commit to a used up post wall whore who has had sex with over 100 guys? Spare me the "oh she isn't like that anymore the past is the past" garbage

basically

there are a lot of guys at the extremes (frick boys v. complete beta males) and a HUGE chunk in the middle that's just tired of it all. dudes are legit just checking out and slumming around (without that being the express purpose like a frick boy)

It's not so much having deep, engaged intellectual conversations (at least for me), it's just the need for someone sharp enough to argue well and not let me bullshite into doing whatever I want (which I am apt to do).

---

Understandable, but that also flies in the face with some of the sentiment on this board. You, SFP, and a few others are looking for a challenge. Many others are suggesting that women are too much of a challenge and not worth it.

i don't think that's their point

it's not that they're a challenge. in fact, it's the opposite. there are tons of casual options out there which offset the desire to take huge risks with things like marriage
