Okay. As a conservative man, what's your advice regarding marriage.

I think things like RedPill really do hit some good points. However, I also realize that some form of compromise is needed and a traditional family has proven to be the most effective way to rear children.

I just think our current legal system actually keeps men away from marriage for fear of losing everything.

Go to a non-pozzed church to find a wife. Hide your assets as much as possible. Swing down for femininity instead of up for looks.

ETA: I say this as someone who has not done so. I give better advice than I follow.

I'm old. The most bizarre thing to me is that in the 80s, there were lots of highfalutin ministers wanting to burn books. I say lots but it was actually a small number but the press ate it up.

When I was college age, if you had asked me which party had the higher probability of attacking free speech, I would have said Republicans. As a conservative, I thought those ministers were a blight against free speech.

Here we are decades later and it isn't a few ministers. Daily, liberals shout at the top of their lungs about the evils of conservative speech. They limit videos on all of the social media sites. Hell, last week, CNN pundits discussed if there was a way to stop racist Trump voters from voting.

It isn't a few ministers. It seems the majority of their party believe in destroying the first amendment. I never see our resident liberals upset about limitations on speech.

Same here.

As an aside:

The only refutations to their videos are generally due to the lack of nuance and the extreme superficiality of the arguments they present.

They are meant to get people asking, they aren't meant for foundational establishment of belief.

Every time I see a "{insert lefty} destroys Prager U on {insert topic}", I think: "Did you really spend all that time refuting what is basically a pamphlet?"

You just made their case for them

Prager himself is no fool. He is very intelligent and nuanced. I disagree with him on several things, but he is definitely foundationally sound.

Hundreds of responses along the line of "Thanks! Ive never heard of them and this is great!" and retweets of Prager's "Why no one trusts the mainstream media."

I wasn’t asked, but my advice is to look into women born and raised in the Philippines (where divorce is illegal, is viewed very negatively and among the worst things one can do to bring shame to an entire family). That’s what I did, although not intentionally for that reason — it was more of an added benefit.

My wife had no problem signing a comprehensive prenup, and is the easiest woman to get along with that I’ve ever met.

I also like that most of the women there are far more chaste than most Western women, are very religious (nearly all Christian, majority are Catholic) and many don’t even have sex until marriage.

I also like that look — the mixture of SE Asian and European blood.

I’ve had fewer arguments/fights with my wife over the course of 5+ years than most and maybe all previous girlfriends whom I was only with 6-18 months.

Just my $0.02. To each their own.

I just got sick of dealing with entitled women with attitudes, and by pure chance met a bright, kind and pleasant young woman who checked all of the boxes for me.

That’s not to suggest all American/Western women are entitled with bad attitudes or unstable, but most of the very attractive ones are — at least that’s been my experience. Probably just luck of the draw. Either way, once I got to know her and saw how very different she is from every other women I’ve ever been with, I had to act on it and haven’t had any regrets so far.

She has made clear she wants to avoid divorce at all costs, and signed legal paperwork ensuring that she has no financial motive to divorce me and stands to gain nothing if for any reason the marriage fails. I don’t expect it to fail unless I just fail miserably as a husband, and even then, she’d probably stick by me.

Just be careful if you go that route because there are some scam artists mixed in with the overwhelming majority of very nice, honest women. They give all women from there a bad name. Just don’t be stupid and don’t send money overseas to someone you’ve never met in person and you should be fine if you decide to try that route.

wanna know the funniest thing about Smanatha Bee and Trevor Noah?

Both have a team of writers, maybe 5-12 each. Yet the 'better' quips I read on the O-T and P-T are FAR funnier and more interesting than ANYTHING either ever puts out.

Imagine that... not funny, even with TEAMS of writers!!

Because neither Bee, nor her writers, actually have a sense of humor.

Progressive ideology is Very. Serious. Business.

We met here by chance while she was in the US visiting friends and relatives. Although we communicated online for almost a year before I traveled there to visit and meet her family before proposing after she returned from the US, and again for several months afterward before she was cleared to return here on a fiancé visa.
