Oneitis comes packaged within love. It is unavoidable.
Love is NOT rational. But it is still necessary for human existence. A man can love a woman selflessly, but not children. A woman can love a child selflessly, but not a man.
That is the reality. In my opinion, contrary to much opinion on this board, these are not reasons not to love.
Love will always involve risk and sacrifice. The downsides can be largely offset by establishing dominance early and maintaining it, with a woman who values your dominance and discipline. There are more women who crave a man's discipline that one might think.
I think it is a huge mistake to get married before the age of 40. Women have their heads completely up their asses until about that age, when they start to learn humility. I'm 59, have never been married, and seriously considering marriage at this point because I've found a woman who is seriously above average in class, looks, and submissiveness. I've been around the block in my life, and this one is several cuts above.
The trick is to find a woman who values femininity and wants to fulfill that role IRL. They are rare but they exist. A man's love for a woman will always be sacrificial and far more unconditional that hers is for him. This is nature. It should not stop a man from loving an exceptional women, because an exceptional woman will love a man more deeply if he maintains dominance. This is the conditional part of love. A woman can only love a man whom she perceives as superior to her. It's the wiring; the way it works. Don't let the wiring cause you to be cynical and deprive your life of love.
There is a certain satisfaction in developing oneself as a man who is worthy of a superior woman's love. It is possible to stay one step ahead of her, to keep her in fear of losing you. All I learned about this, I learned here at SS. I learned the rules (the training wheels), then shed the training wheels and customized the principles to my own personality in order to make them work for me, rather than my working for them, which is necessary at first. Now the SS principles are tools and levers that I can depend on do manifest the effects I want to manifest.
C0cky/funny, push/pull, dread game, dominance, mysteriousness, negs, and all the other tools that are discussed here are used clumsily by most at first, but they eventually become integrated into a system that works when used enough and integrated in a calibrated way into your personality. The result: You are qualified to love a woman because you understand the game and the dynamic, and you understand that nature is not fair. It is the man's lot to sacrifice. It is the superior man's job to learn how to sacrifice for high yield.
