But tending to infants was still their responsibilities, not men's in large part due to nursing. That's all I meant. This is true, yes. I only took exception to the idea that people "tended" infants all that much. Anything past keeping the baby alive was pretty much disposable. (My own infant mother was usually left in the care of her next-oldest siblings, a pair of seven-years-older twin girls who sometimes took her out to a cornfield and left her there. My grandparents were subsistence farmers…

Maybe most women are used to being the wooed instead of the wooer so they don't see the work that goes into a good/nice time? Jacktenofhearts once made a very interesting comment on MRP; his sister told him that she had gone out on a date with this guy where he had taken her for a hike, and she had had a delightful time and thought very highly of the dude for taking her on such a fantastic date. So J10 thought, "Cool," and the next time he asked a girl out, he took her on a hike, on a difficult …

their principle role was as the primary caregiver. No. Before the Industrial Revolution, the primary role of married mothers was to contribute to the household through domestic labor, kitchen gardens, and so forth. (Edit: or if the family in question owned a business, such as a store or a printing shop, the wife would contribute to that business, as well.) Women no more served primarily as caregivers for children than men did. There was too much work and it was too physically demanding. Early Am…

Well, yes, this is why I want to know what is meant by "smart," because often, it is a lazy way of saying "women who went to college," which isn't the same thing as "smart." Most women end up having children. This may or may not change in the future, but right now, most women, both smart and dumb, end up having kids.

No, these are all people that I knew for over a decade before any of us had kids. I also came from a weirdly high-achieving group of people in high school, and all of them have kids now except for one.

What, exactly, do you mean by "smart?" All my college friends are objectively extremely smart. The smallest number of children that any of us have is two. My extremely smart and hardworking and stupefyingly high-achieving BFF has five. (Edit: All of us are married; none of us have been divorced.)

Reposting under automod: Depends on what kind of relationship the man wants with his child and how strongly he feels about having the right to that relationship guaranteed by law. If he is not married to the baby's mother, in many states, a woman can give the child up for adoption without the father's consent, unless he files with the putative father registry. And I know that in Georgia, an unmarried father who is listed on the birth certificate does not automatically have parental rights to the…

This is exactly what a lot of terps and merps don't understand. Most women avoid real alphas, and for good reason. Most feminine women - actually, most women, period - find actual alphas frightening and alarming. They are right to do so.

The issue is not cheating, and I don't know why so many men here keep acting as though it is. A paternity test doesn't determine whether a woman is cheating; it determines whether a woman is cheating, has gotten pregnant, and is passing the baby off as her husband's, which is orders of magnitude worse than cheating. The results could come back 100% on the square and guess what? She could still be cheating on you. There's no shortage of women who are happy to cheat, but who take care to make sure…

I never actually signed a birth certificate in either of the states where our kids were born. Neither did Mr. Arthur. Edit: In both places, we never even got a birth certificate for any of the kids until we requested one from the state government (city government, in the case of DC). What we did get in the hospital was a piece of paper with the baby's footprints and the date. We filled out the name, I think. It was basically a keepsake, and not at all any kind of legal document; when Thing 1 ran…

Are you kidding me? My mother didn't have indoor plumbing until she was 8. She didn't have electricity until she was 5. Hell, she actually picked cotton, for money when she was 5. I think of that when I read pieces about how terrible daycare is. I am pretty sure that my mother would have preferred the fancy friendly daycare that Thing 3 goes to, over picking actual cotton during an Oklahoma summer.

Well, Mr. Arthur first brought up marriage when we had been dating for 2 months; he had double pneumonia and I had taken him to the ER for his diagnosis and was taking care of him while he convalesced at my shitty tenement apartment. One afternoon he puked into my bathroom wastebasket and then blearily told me that I would make a great wife and might I be interested in being his great wife? I said sure. We didn't get married for a few more years, though. (And we had known one another for over a …

I once asked Mr. Arthur what he would have done if I had asked him for a pre-nup, and he said that he never would have married me. Which I thought was interesting, seeing as how he is actually for-real UC - his great-grandmother was invited to and attended Elizabeth II's coronation - and I am but a humble working-class child of immigrants and poor white trash.

In my own particular marriage, in the context of what was necessary for me to have a successful pregnancy in the first place, in the context of events that took place before those successful pregnancies - I once miscarried in a bathroom at a DoD facility and then got right back to work, because North Korea was up to shenanigans and I couldn't be spared - it would be extremely difficult to let something like that go. I can count on one hand the number of grudges I have ever held, but this would v…

I'm never the target audience for anything! I like u/AstuteBlackMan a lot, and I do hope that he finds a nice girl and addresses the paternity test thing with her early on, but he is 21. I remember being 21. I had no idea what it was like to have been with someone for 20 years and go through medical problems and job loss and dying parents and the deaths of family members and all kinds of shit like that with them. These are things that most 21-year-olds don't think about when they ask questions a…

Of course it would make a difference. If Mr. Arthur had brought it up in a reasonable fashion at the beginning of the relationship, then I'd probably would have been inclined to say, "Sure, sounds good," because at that point, it would be 100% about him, and not at all about me. But it was not easy for me to have a successful pregnancy, and if he had sprung such a request upon me once I was already pregnant with the twins - as the OP suggested - then I would not only be caught flat-footed, but I…

The problem with a lot of these kinds of posts is that they ask people (women, in the case of the referenced post) "what would you think if your husband/partner/boyfriend/affianced asked you for a paternity test after you told him you were pregnant." It is asking about how this request would be received in the context of specific, individual relationships, not how "women" would respond if "men" asked for paternity tests. In the vast majority of the specific relationships referenced in that post,…

This is why most of the women responding are saying that they would be insulted and upset; because the OP asked them about their own particular relationships, and in their own particular relationships, such a request would be completely out of nowhere and therefore extremely unsettling. I went through a lot to give Mr. Arthur these children and I'm sure that it was no picnic for him, but it wasn't his body that was the staging ground for all this bullshit. If he had sprung something like this on…

If my hypothetical wife was a virgin when we met and eventually get married, then I'd have no problem worrying about getting a paternity test. Good for you. I'm not married to you and the OP didn't ask for my thoughts on what would happen if I was married to u/satanic_hamster and he asked me for a paternity test, so I am going to disregard your feelz on this issue.

I think a lot of these guys are responding as though I am married to them personally and not Mr. Arthur. “If I were married to you...” Yeah, but you’re not, and that’s not what the OP was about, so why should I give a shit what these guys think?

I have this insecurity about it This isn't Mr. Arthur; your question concerns somebody that I am not married to. He doesn't dump his insecurities on me and ask me to reassure him. Maybe other guys could use this line on their wives and they would be grudgingly understanding about it, but no, this would make no sense in the context of our particular relationship.

If he did it without my knowing about it, then whatever; I obviously can't get pissed off about what I don't know about. But OP was asking about prenatal paternity screening, which can only be accomplished with the knowledge and consent of the mother.

There are prenatal blood screens that can determine paternity; Natera has one called Panorama. Its main purpose is to screen for chromosomal defects, but it can also screen for paternity. But insurance doesn't cover it unless there is a medical reason (such as advanced maternal age) and even so, I believe that you'd have to pay out of pocket for the paternity screen, since it's not done as a matter of course. And, of course, there is no way that any husband could get a prenatal paternity screeni…

You think I'm only going to live until I'm 53? :-( As I have said, my husband holds a grudge like nobody I have ever met in my life. If I asked him to perform whatever the male cognate of a paternity test is - idk, submit his DNA to 23 and Me for the express purpose of assuring me that he doesn't have any bastards running around out there - he would never, ever forgive me. Ever.

Because you are responding to women here as if they discussing all men, not their own particular husbands, in spite of the fact that your OP queries them about their own husbands and relationships. So for you to tell them that their feelings aren't justified is odd; you are not privy to their relationships and you have no idea whether they would be justified or not in being upset at such a request. Should "men" in general ask "women" in general for paternity tests? Sure, go nuts. Why not. Should…

My argument is her feelings don't seem justified. You are asking women how they would feel if their PARTICULAR husbands, not men in general, asked for paternity tests. These women are telling you that their PARTICULAR husbands, not you, not men in general, are not justified in feeling sufficient doubt to request a paternity test. If you want to demand a paternity test, go nuts. But no, you will never be able to convince me that I MYSELF would not be justified in feeling insulted and angry if MY …

Rates of paternity fraud are closely correlated to culture and SES, and since Mr. Arthur and I are from a culture and SES where it hardly ever happens, yes, he would be accusing me of cheating. If you are from a culture and SES where you see it all the time, as you have indicated that you are, then maybe those women will be more philosophical about such a request. I don't know.

The thing is, IRL, Mr. Arthur 100% knows that I would stick that in my back pocket to use for the rest of his life. He is Irish, for Christ's sake; he holds grudges longer and more avidly than anybody else I've ever met (except maybe u/buartha) and if I asked him for the female cognate of whatever a paternity test is, he would never in a million years forgive me.

It is absolutely 100% legal for a father to cheek swab his kids and send away for results. Why wouldn't it be? Those kinds of tests are not admissible in court, but they are pretty reliable nevertheless.

1) If you tell your SO you're pregnant and he asks you for a Paternity Test how would you feel? I would smile brightly at him and say, "Fine!" And then when it came back that he was the father, I would stick that in my back pocket to use for the rest of his life. It would be a major breach. 2) Would it damage your relationship or hinder it in anyway? Sure as hell wouldn't help. 3) Would you assume he might be cheating? I have no idea. 4) Do you think your SO wouldn't trust you? Since he basicall…

Absolutely no naked pictures or naughty pictures of any kind, ever, for any reason.

My grandma had succumbed to dementia by the time she went into a nursing home. She found it completely delightful, because she and her roommate immediately engaged in a shared delusion whereby they had lived next door to one another when they were young mothers and had raised their children together, the best of friends! Grandma also thought that she was in a very fine and exclusive luxury hotel. This belief was so strong that when she started acting stroppy with the staff, my dad told her, "You…

I'll have to ask Mr. Arthur about his experience with this, and also about what he has been doing with my chocolates and card for the past 20 years, because I have never ever gotten them.

Do Tom Clancy books feature player men? They do not. Jack Ryan's wife is a doctor; the other male characters are all married. There is one book with plot points that revolve around women; I can't remember the title, but it's the one where John Clark falls in love with a girl from Baltimore whom he does not know is a new hooker. Her pimp murders her and that is the plot point that drives the rest of the novel, which is all vengeance and blood. But Clancy never wrote anything where the romance was…

All these modern-day dudes who would run to Canada before enlisting in the Army, talking about the last 5000 years of human history as though those men had the same priorities. Allow me to enlighten you: For nearly all of human history, men have WANTED to go to war. They have DESPERATELY WANTED TO GO TO WAR to prove themselves as men. They have STARTED WARS expressly for the purpose of HAVING WARS TO FIGHT IN. EVEN TODAY, soldiers in t…

They both lost status as soon as they got knocked up by randos. This was my initial reaction, too, but the OP doesn't actually say that. It says that they got knocked up by "an unplanned hookup with (a) male friend." That's different, IMO, and it means that neither woman would lose status in my eyes. If they didn't marry, then that would cost them status. Indeed, a friend of mine from college got pregnant and didn't marry the father, and it cost her plenty, even though she was in her 30s and had…

no one cares about bastardization. Speak for yourself. Nobody in Mr. Arthur's family has ever had an illegitimate child, and they're not going to start now. And that is the only kind of illegitimate child. This weird definition you made up about "the child isn't mine" is not illegitimacy.

This may be the case for some men, but not all men. My father had the most domineering mother of all time. She made Amy Chua look like Mary Poppins.

For the kind of man who actually listens to women, though, yeah, having a controlling and domineering mother will probably impact his future sexual success.

We probably could have annulled with the Church for failure to consummate, but not with the District of Columbia. Even if I was all shammy (which I am; my father was an E4 and he taught me carefully), we still couldn't have legally annulled without hosing both of our careers. If Mr. Arthur was the one accused of violence, he'd never teach again. If I was, I'd lose my clearance. Again, it could be easier in other states.

We were married in DC, where it is exceedingly rare for annulments to be granted, and only under three different circumstances. (In the event of consanguinity or bigamy, the marriage is invalid ab initio, but the couple still might want to get an annulment saying so.) Since neither of us was under age or mentally impaired, that would leave the threat of force or violence. Mr. Arthur is a teacher, so if I had levied that charge to get an annulment, he would forfeit his career. It might be easier …

Men are forced to provide during marriage. This is just patently untrue. BOTH parties to the marriage have EQUAL access to any resources that EITHER party accumulates DURING the marriage. If the man has $5 million that he earned and socked away BEFORE the marriage, he is perfectly legally able to not share that with his wife. (And vice versa.) If a husband wants to quit his job and live in a box, his wife can't stop him. The courts won't stop him. The police won't stop him. And if he wants to qu…

Why do people keep saying this? If we wanted to get married in the Catholic Church, as we did, then we had to get legally married. The priest made sure that we had the marriage license before he performed the ceremony. There is no mainstream church in the US that will allow you to use them to perform a sham ceremony. I guess if you're having your internet-ordained cousin perform a ceremony in the park, you could pursue the non-legal course of action.

I hate to break it to you, but only a tiny minority of men follow RP ideology to any degree whatsoever. And even among those who do, the vast majority content themselves with nodding at anger phase OPs on the subreddit. GayLubeOil himself has written more than once about how most terps will never even set foot into a gym. I'm married to a guy who looks damned good at age 47, so I know that it is possible for men to keep up their appearance even if they get married, even if they have three kids. …

I am bewildered by this perception on Reddit that men look like George Clooney as they age, and women turn into Roseanne Barr. In real life, where the people live, I find that men who don't spend time maintaining their appearance or their fitness, which is most men, turn into Danny Devito (or, worse, Danny Devito as the Penguin).

My mother had an uncle, Etcil, who came back from the war kind of touched in the head. He loved snakes. It was not unusual for him to park his Model A a bit down the road from the farm where my mom grew up, find a rattlesnake or two on the walk up the driveway, and appear at the door to the house, draped in snakes. My grandmother thought he was a crazy lunatic, and she was probably right.

Because even in 19th century New England, something like 40% of brides were not virgins, based on how soon after the wedding the first child was born.

When my sister lived in AZ, she had a little spider pet that lived in her shed. She would bring it small insects from time to time. One day, my BIL came into the house and said, "I killed that spider in the shed." "WTF? MY SPIDER?" My sister was quite upset. My BIL stared at her. "Yes. The black widow. I killed it." But my sister has been living on borrowed time for the past 22 years, so the rest of us do not share her risk assessment practices.

You're assuming that women rarely have sex with men they don't find attractive, or with men whose children they aren't interested in carrying. They do, often, for reasons that have nothing to do with rape. There are still a lot of women all around the world who are delivered into arranged marriages to men they are not attracted to and do not love. There are guys right here at PPD who say that women will have unenthusiastic sex with their BB husbands to make sure that the gravy train keeps runnin…

My dad still flips out when people leave food around. Vietnam gave him a major bug phobia* and he insists that all food be locked down like depleted uranium and that the countertops be scoured of crumbs. Since my dad is a man, I guess this means that he has a "clear line of sight to reality." *And he is not the only one; my advisor wrote a book about US strategy in Vietnam after the Tet Offensive, and, to my amusement, he included two pages describing how terrible the insect life is in Vietnam. …

The so-called cock carousel is very much a moving target. Some guys think that a woman rode the CC if she had five LTRs. Some think that it's club girls who are fucking guys in the bathrooms. Some think that it's a girl who has a boyfriend in college, has three ONSs after college, and then has another LTR before meeting and marrying her husband. Some (a minority) think it's any woman who was not a virgin when she married. If there was a fixed definition, there might be an opposite. But there isn…

You are addressing a point that I was not making. Wekacuck was talking about how revolting it is for a man to contemplate being fooled into raising a child that is not his, and made a comparison to a thing that cannot happen. I pointed out that the female cognate to being cuckolded in that way is being impregnated by a man whose child she does not want to carry. He agreed. Abortion and child support and whatever else you are talking about have nothing to do with that exchange.

I agree that there is some bias in that comment, but maybe not as much as you think. It referred to guys on TRP who had been cheated on, not all men everywhere. By definition, as the terps here admit, a man whose life is humming along smoothly does not go to TRP. The guys there are guys who have not been able to figure out, on their own, how to be attractive to women.

No, for women, the cognate is becoming my pregnant by a man whose child they do not want, and every woman knows on a visceral, prerational level exactly how revolting this is. It is just that this cognate does not pertain to a discussion of infidelity.

because men don't always mean actual submission, they mean how they feel about the idea of being the center of the story or the leader.

I have no problem with the fact that sex CAN have a transactional nature. I get exasperated by the tedious people who insist that ALL sex is women trading their vaginas and fornices for men's bank accounts and spines.

I don't see the point of maintaining separate finances once you're married. You can have the bank account that your grandma opened for you when you were 6 and the first post-wedding paycheck that gets direct deposited will still be considered property of the marriage and not of you individually.

It is illegal to be a communist in the US, you can be denied citizenship and federal jobs and appointments. What? No, it's not. By the time I filled out my first SF-86, they had long since gotten rid of the question "Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?"

They seem to have a moral disagreement with the idea they're "supposed" to be mothers. I have noticed this, yes, and holy crap they spend a lot of time and energy thinking about this. I don't give a shit if people have kids or not, but I don't think there's much difference between having kids because you're "supposed" to and spending 40% of your energy fuming about the perception that you're "supposed" to have kids. Either way, you're letting other people's agendas take up your valuable time.

Rollo writes about ESFJ women. Since a high percentage of women are ESFJ, it works out pretty well for him.

Apart from him, I am now at the stage of life where “the prize” is a four-hour stretch of time where I may focus exclusively on my work, unencumbered by children, dogs, vacuuming up dog hair, preparing three to five meals, or contacting State Farm about the downed tree that did a number on the 68-year-old slate roof.

I have only been to Vegas for my sister's wedding and I hated every minute and got the fuck out as soon as I could, but if a guy told me he liked it, I'd be curious and ask him why.

she will dutifully open her legs, close her eyes, not call it rape, and pop out a kid once or twice? - and thats what a man wants? I mean, this is basically what happened with the vast majority of married couples, pre-sexual revolution, and there is no shortage of terps/merps who think that it was an ideal state of affairs. So it is not going too far afield to state that there are at least some men who want this.

There are lots of other ways men can be attractive to women. u/Atlas_B_Shruggin has talked very candidly about how attracted she is to men who step into the protector role. Neither she nor I particularly value provisioning. The majority of women might want a husband who is the sole breadwinner, or the breadwinner by a large margin. Judging by the number of married couples where both work and earn roughly the same amount, however, I am guessing that most women put the "man = sole breadwinner" fan…

Yes I have. I went to a women’s college and have an insanely high-achieving group of friends. They are all married and some of them are very good-looking. (The highest achiever by far is also the best-looking by far.) None of us are married to low-value schlubs, but all of us are married to lower-achieving men.

men select women based on themselves, with little if any consideration for their social groups, leaving no somewhat objective reference points to be found to base a scale of value upon. Okay, now I see why you and I disagreed on this over in your other OP, and I'm slightly annoyed with myself that I didn't think of it earlier. This line of thinking is a pretty big prole tell. I'll bow out.

My BFF is indeed beautiful. But that is the least of her very many virtues. Pretty much any value beyond how well she generates love is completely subjective to the guy. I am interested in your perspective where my BFF's value as compared to the Walmart fatty's is "subjective," and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Every so often there is a TRP OP wherein the dude is RIGHTEOUSLY INDIGNANT about the fact that one of his plates IS FUCKING OTHER GUYS. HOW COULD SHE, THAT WHORE? Every time I've seen one of these OPs, literally every single comment is "No shit she's fucking other guys, you idiot. What, exactly, do you think a plate is?"

I don't think there really are shitty women. There are just women. Oh, yes, there is no difference between my BFF and the 300-pound slattern I saw yelling at her kids at Walmart the other day. And the only reason that my BFF's husband married her instead of the hambeast is my BFF's "ability to make him fall in love with her." Which, of course, has nothing to do with her value. Do you even listen to yourself when you say this stuff?

Esther Perel's book was featured in an Atlantic article this month. This really struck me: As I listen to her, I start to suspect that her affair is about neither her husband nor their relationship.

For these seekers, infidelity is less likely to be a symptom of a problem, and more likely an expansive experience that involves growth, exploration, and transfo…

No. Back in Olden Times, women knew their place. They knew they had to be loving and supportive of their BB husbands, and no woman was ever a shrew. Women were modest and chaste, except in the marriage bed, where they happily provided weka anal and blowjobs and threesomes and foursomes and ATM and whatever that pee fetish thing is called. Because Olden Times People had the same sexual tastes and expectations that 21st century porn addicts have. Source: My Brain.

Chad comprises such a vanishingly small percentage of men that he is not worth talking about except in conjunction with the CC, which all women joyfully ride. The vast majority of men are unattractive and cannot hope to ever have sex. In the olden days they could have married a perfectly good woman and the fact that there was no marital rape means that he could have insisted that she sex him frequently, vigorously, and enthusiastically. Otherwise he could have thrown her on the street to starve.…

A lot of masculinity is orthogonal to attracting women. A lot of masculinity is, instead, related to being a leader of men. And yeah, a lot of those traits are upsetting or frightening to women. Women will have varying degrees of tolerance for that kind of masculinity; my father had (has) a lot of traits that most women here would probably find upsetting or frightening, but my own tolerance for those kinds of traits is pretty high.

[The Red Pill] also acknowledges that the world isn't fair and not everybody is on equal ground.

I don't really perceive satisfaction that way; I associate having an incomplete task or unachieved goal with psychological discomfort. "I should really be getting this done." And that is my motivator to get it done, which then leads to a temporary sense of satisfaction, which then leads, eventually, to aggravated complacency and a search for a new target. But if you associate that with satisfaction, then more power to you! That's probably a healthier perspective than mine.

Yes, most. Fortunately, most men aren't naturally all that dominant. If dominance is on a scale of 1 - 10 (apologies to Camille), with 1 being a literal doormat and 10 being Genghis Khan, most women hover in the 2-5 range. Since most women want a man who is more dominant than they are, they will mainly be happy with men in the 4-7 range. But wanting a man who is more dominant does not mean they want Genghis Kahn; the delta between a woman who is a 4 and a man who is a 9 would make that woman - a…

If he's too alpha he's not going to "tune" himself or temper his traits for any woman.

Most women have a low tolerance for dominant behavior, and will be alarmed and frightened and repulsed by a man who shows an abundance of strongly-accentuated "alpha" characteristics.

And by definition, if they aren't attractive to women, they aren't alpha behaviours. This is absolutely 100% untrue.

There are some that, in moderation, women find sexy; taken to the extreme, women will find the same characteristic alarming and disturbing. I have NO IDEA why TRP insists on defining SO MUC…

The question was about a high-value man, not necessarily a man I would be interested in. General George Marshall was a high value man, but I wouldn't want to have sex with him. But yeah, for me to be interested in a man, in addition to the above, I would have to find him attractive. I don't much care about status, and often find it orthogonal to actual value.

"High value man" is contextual. My high-value man might not be somebody else's high-value man. That said, to me, a high-value man has a strong internal sense of self. He has his own ideas of right and wrong and makes his own judgments. He might take other people's thoughts and ideas into consideration, but he will not defer to or indulge them if he decides they are wrong. He has a strong work ethic. He doesn't blame others for his mistakes. If he has a choice between doing the right thing and th…

Having children in wedlock is not a thing that is passed on like hula hoops and other trendy fads; it is (or was) a main supporting pillar of nearly every society on earth. If anything, the increasing trend of OOW children is a meme. Not having children within the confines of marriage.

Waiting until marriage to have children is not a "meme." Perhaps you are thinking of "cultural norm." It is a norm that has changed already for a great many people, but there are plenty of women out there who would no sooner have a child out of wedlock than they would set themselves on fire. Even my SIL, who has rejected her UC upbringing in nearly every possible way, balked at having a baby out of wedlock.

His whole family is like that! My poor WASP husband thought we were all a bunch of lunatics the first time I brought him to my grandmother's for Christmas Eve.

I will say that in actual crisis situations, my dad is great. The one time in my pre-adult life when I had a time-sensitive, urgent, real problem that I couldn't handle by myself, I called my dad, and he delivered magnificently. But the general run of day-to-day, non-crisis life? Good Lord.

The STOIC ALPHA ideal perpetuated by TRP absolutely cracks me up. I have mentioned my father here before; he is the single most alpha man I have ever met in my life, and he is also probably the single most emotional human being, man or woman, that I have ever met in my life. He is tossed in a sea of emotion. He has been this way his entire life. Nobody gets as angry as he does, nobody is as happy as he is, nobody is as despondent as he is. I think that actual natural alphas are often very emotio…

My dad's whole family is full of them. I myself am arguably one.

in the real world attractive women almost never end up being at the bottom of social hierarchies. If their much older husbands have thrust them into a social hierarchy comprised entirely of their husband's age mates, then yes, they absolutely do. Because as Smurfy says, the wives are the ones who run the social calendars. The FSM is not PornHub.

It's like the guys who say they are going to go to Eastern Europe to find a "sweet submissive feminine woman." Eastern European women are carnivores. They will submit to you if you are Ivan the Terrible, yeah, but if you were Ivan the Terrible, you probably wouldn't be trying to scope out submissive women from all the way across the globe.

That's what the study revealed, yes.

The result of the second study, the one that you quote in your OP, actually becomes more interesting when juxtaposed with the results of the first study. Men who are feeling flush with cash are both sterner judges of their own LTR's attractiveness, and are more likely to hit up a random woman they think is hot. This isn't much of a surprise, honestly. Women who are feeling flush aren't going to start finding fault with their LTR's appearance or think that they somehow "deserve" a hot dude, but t…

But that's not what that part of the study examined. It looked at whether the perception that they had more money affected the value they assigned to their partner's physical appearance. I don't think it's exactly a revelation that wealthy men feel more entitled to hot women than working joes. u/SmurfESmurferson can probably confirm.

Results of Study 1 showed that men who were primed to feel that they had relatively more money were less satisfied with their partners' physical attractiveness than those primed to feel that they had less money, suggesting that the subjective feeling of having more or less money may affect men's preferences regarding the physical appearance of a mate in a long-term relationship. Interestingly, this difference was not significant for women. In other news, water is wet.

There was none of any of that where I went to college. None. We had hall advisors, but they were juniors and seniors; the only adults on campus after 8 PM or so were three or four public safety guys. And this is a women's college. Whole dorms peopled solely by female undergraduates with no adult in sight. And yet my parents dropped me off at age 17 with nary a second thought.

Again, as I note elsewhere, the men here are envisioning some kind of porny scenario that I do not have in mind. I don't mean the wife getting dolled up in Agent Provocateur, crawling across the living room floor, and purring, "Please please fuck me darling." Of course men like that. The wife muttering "We should fuck tonight" at her husband while he comes in from walking the dogs and she is emptying the kitchen trash and the kids are screaming at one another about Minecraft over in the living r…

This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. At no point did I say "bitchy." I just said "forthright." But men, in spite of saying that they want direct and forthright women, very often read actual forthrightness as bitchiness, as you just did. "Motherfucker. My boss read me the riot act in front of everybody at this morning's meeting. That asshole." "Emotionally considerate": "Aw, that sucks, sweetie. How could he do that to his best sales rep? Let me make you a dark and stormy." Straightforward: "H…

Ha ha ha ha ha. Do you understand that I'm not talking about an anime porn doll whispering seductively in your ear, "We should fuck tonight?" That I am talking about your 40-something wife in her bathrobe, buttering toast for your (and her) feral children in the kitchen while the dogs are fighting over a Greenie, muttering, "So, later tonight..." Maybe 2% of men alive actually find that attractive.

I honestly have no idea, but Mr. Arthur's ex was an ESTJ (he has a thing for man-brained women) and he has told me more than once that if I ever spontaneously discorporate, he, an INTP, will never ever ever have anything to do with any xSxx women ever again.

Well, you can either roast a goose (recommended) or you can obey Amazon when it helpfully suggests that you order a quart of duck fat (also recommended; duck fat is nearly as good).

What means "too many carbs?" Mr. Arthur is half Irish and doesn't like potatoes (except roasted in goose fat) and it makes me frown.

My sister's best friend in college was from Finland and holy shit I have never met a more direct communicator in all my life. She made me look like a master of doublespeak and subterfuge. Even my dad, who has zero patience for feminine foolishness and who did not hesitate to beat it out of my sister and me (mostly metaphorically) was taken aback for a few hours before he decided that she was the greatest person on the face of the planet.

It's not offensive, it's just overly dramatic, like a SAHM posting memes to Facebook about how GRUELLING it is to be home all day with a 9-month-old. it's hard work that not only you won't do, but you're not capable of doing. With the exception of your heavy gas-powered tools, which I say again neither of us have never used at our house, I am capable of doing everything you listed, and have done everything you listed. Indeed, I am the one who is primarily responsible for everything you listed.

No, nor would I. But when I posited this very scenario to Mr. Arthur not five minutes ago and asked if he would find it backbreaking, he gave me an annoyed look and said no, of course not.
/r/PurplePillDebate28/08/17 05:05 PM

Not at all. But if you're in good shape, why do you characterize this stuff as "backbreaking" when you know goddamned well it's not?

We have never used any gas powered tools that weigh over 100 pounds; if we did, Mr. Arthur would probably carry them to and fro and not characterize it as backbreaking, because he's in very good shape. Our attic is accessed by stairs, but I do all the rest of that stuff, as well as ripping out the old carpeting and linoleum (mmmmm, asbestosy!) in the basement and laying 800 sf of new flooring. (Why are you hauling your pressure washer up a ladder? Why don't you just buy a longer hose?) None of i…

What the hell kind of home maintenance work is "backbreaking?" Our house, built by Mr. Arthur's pediatrician and her husband, originally had a live-in housekeeper (her room is now our guest room) and a full-time gardener. Even considering that we have a house and yard that were never intended to be looked after and kept up without the help of full-time staff, none of our maintenance work is "backbreaking." And I'm fully qualified to assess that, as I do most of it and I am but a weak and feeble …

We did a bunch of those logic puzzles in 5th grade, for some reason. "John, Ed, and Jim all have different cars. Jim's car is not blue. John drives a Ford. Ed doesn't drive a Toyota, a Chevrolet, or a green car. Whose car is whose?" Maybe they were getting us all ready for the LSAT? I really have no idea.

According to other posts you ??? I'm sure that for a ONS, a guy would be not at all bothered by "We should fuck." But the same guy would find it unbecoming in a LTR or wife.
