Got it. We have different frames then and we're looking for different things from women. I'm not satisfied with just the sex. No right or wrong here I guess, we're just different.

Let's take an extreme example. You're on an isolated island. You can share a high-on-resources Brad Pitt in his younger days with 10 other women, or have a not-good-looking low-on-resources man just for yourself. Would you choose the latter?

This speaks well for your good character, but it could have gone awfully bad for him - he put himself at your mercy - noble but unwise in my opinion. Couldn't he have gained the same fair arrangement officially without cutting your assets in half?

A men's frame = power over women as well, ideally, wouldn't you say? Look at human history until not so long ago. I've seen human personality broken down into different traits in a variety of similar theories, within both business and dating contexts. Frankly I think it's a gross...

I don't believe I talked specifically about solipsism anywhere in this thread, but here's one of my last arguments: "When it comes to breeding and mating drives, suddenly all that abstract critical thinking goes down the drain. I think it's a matter of awareness though - you can't fight what...

It's a classic case of confusing cause and effect. Men are clearly behind almost all great creations in human history, but that's not because they are better or more intelligent, it's because unlike women they had the proper incentive to do so as a way of climbing the social ladder or making...

The chances of the marriage succeeding, especially in this day and age, are far lower than the marriage failing - for many reasons you're well aware of. That's one hell of a risk I don't think I'd be willing to take. Do you think what you said applies to the younger generation as well? During...

Can you please elaborate and point out our wrong arguments?

That top 10% is not defined by plain economics - I think it's defined by alpha traits, or otherwise by men that are closest to meeting both sides of hypergamy, in which economics are indeed a factor. The only solution I see is climbing to the top of the social ladder and becoming that guy that...

The marriage was dependent on not having a prenup, which really speaks for itself. You dodged a bullet. It still hurts though, let time do its thing.

This could be explained by simple supply & demand don't you think? If I recall correctly - 90% of women go after the top 10% of men. That means 90% of men are fighting over 10% of the women. Of course as life progresses people settle, smvs change, etc, but that's the core of the dynamic as far...

Of course not, but them not running your set doesn't mean you run their set either. You can definitely assert dominance in a family situation, but there are certain people who's frame is always going to have a lot of friction with yours. Imagine being with a woman who's just as strong minded as...

Interesting

I do see what you're saying, it's observably true, at the very list in almost all cases. When it comes to breeding and mating drives, suddenly all that abstract critical thinking goes down the drain. I think it's a matter of awareness though - you can't fight what you can't see. Very few are...

I do believe she's harmless and has good intentions, she went through great lengths to prove that. The worst she could do is point us in a direction that's not in our best interest, regardless of those good intentions. That goes not just for her of course, it goes for anyone - man or woman...

It does, thanks for the response. btw I believe you keep shooting yourself in the foot when you go on describing how awesome you and your life are, regardless of whether what you say is true or not - at least as far as the rest of the guys in this thread are concerned. It's a pretty...

I'm actually doing my best to take you seriously, feel free to respond to my previous reply.

Personally I see no reason to doubt that it's indeed an accurate description of yourself and your life, and frankly I think it's of no relevance (no offense intended) and shouldn't be the focus of the conversation. As attractive as you might be for your age, I doubt you'd be able to compete...

I'm interested to know how many of the people that stay married do it for religious reasons, I wonder if there are such statistics. Except religious and spiritual groups, do you have other examples for "good" women to settle down with in the western world? Aren't the majority of western women...

Got it, is that an acronym? What's the origin of that word? Just curious. I suppose that'd depend on your definition. By top quality I refer to an extremely attractive woman with good values and a great mind. a.k.a. unicorn. Decently attractive is more feasible though. A woman like that is...
