Okay now we are delving into hypotheticals which is pointless. I was a medic in the military. I was a Navy corpsman who graduated from fleet marine training battalion and was able to be the "doc" of an entire platoon. I was trained in combat medicine and learned about anthrax and other biochemical weapons. I know for a fact that hydroxychloriquine is administered to SARS patients and even covid patients in the VA (veteran affairs) hospitals despite all the backlash against it because of people's hatred for Trump. After I got my bachelors, I got accepted to numerous medical schools but I decided to be a healthcare administrator instead.
I probably could have been a physician's assistant. In fact I know I could have. But I would never tell anyone they should not be a PA. Just because I didn't do it does not mean my reality is any more important.
My question is...what makes you feel like you are on such a high horse that you think you can tell people whether they should or should not marry? Do you have any kids? Do you have any experience in THAT domain?
One of the greatest hubris of men is that just because we are good in one area, we think we are good in other areas. Socrates was wise when he said he knew very little.
You are a PA (physician assistant), correct? A PA giving advice about marriage and relationships.
I was a combat medic who used to be the head seduction guru of the entire city of San Francisco...And yet I am still humble enough to say "Amante knows what he's doing."
I could have surely gotten a better career than you in healthcare if I wanted to (I probably get paid more now anyway) and I can surely run circles around you when it comes to relationships and women yet I am still humble enough to know my place when it comes to a grown man's choices when it comes to marriage.
We should never use Amante as any example for any narrative.
The point is not marriage. The point is character. Your character will attract your female equivalent.
And Amante has excellent character.
I can talk the way I do because I have taught hundreds of men about relationships. I have actual merit. So tell me, what is YOUR merit? Is it purely your ego from the medical field? And do you think this makes you unique? Lol.
Sometimes I want to know the source behind people's "air of authority". A lot of times, it's just empty entitlement born from ego.
If all you are is a PA, then color me unimpressed.
Actually, yes, I was married and I detailed it greatly on SoSuave. I was also the one who filed for divorce and then moved it to an annulment. I wanted kids, still do, but was stuck in a two year battle just to undo that piece of paper. In total, it cost around 25k for me to get this undone, and her about 16k. I offered to dissolve it w/o lawyers, she disagreed. She tried to get my pre-maritial home and for me to pay for other things, she lost on every account.
Please note, I am not, in any way, shape or form, singling out Amante. The lives the next county over from me; or did. I am merely pointing out the actions, what I advised not to, and what could happen. It's a different world now in New York State than prior to 2012. After 2012, non-fault was now legal in New York. Which means, a person can get divorced for any reason and it will be granted. Average attorney rates in the New York City area is between 375 - 650 PER HOUR. That's where they get you.
I am just trying to head warning that this piece of paper could be the most costly mistake anyone can make. There is ZERO modern research that a marriage license keeps two people together more than just cohabitation. None. In fact, many Hispanic families do this all the time. We should learn from them and how they do things.
As for my background, yes, I am a PA in the Connecticut Healthcare system. My B.S. was psychology, and I did do some of my residence in a psychological ward in Waterbury. Over the past decade, I've hosted many No More Mr. Nice Guy groups and meetups in NYC.
