Unmarried men need to consider how women have turned marriage into a fragile institution entirely dependent on where the wife's feelings are at any given time. Feelings take a dip? Time to divorce. The divorce statistics are brutal on men with 46% of first marriages ending in divorce and women initiating divorce 80% of the time: 90% if she's college educated. Guys, if your fiancee is not head-over-heels in love and burning with genuine desire for you, watch out. Your future marriage is held host…

I don't know if I can take 6 months of begging her to stay while getting nothing in return other than apathy. Look up the "pick me dance" and how it engenders great disrespect in women and the collapse of desire. You are doing exactly the wrong thing here.

...the Bible tells me that my wife and I should reconcile. The Bible and Jesus himself allow divorce of an adulterous spouse. Why do so many Christian men insist that marriages where the spouse abuses them through cheating must be honored and fought for? Cheaters are awful, selfish people and keeping yourself tied to such a person is a disaster for your life. I believe the repeat rate for cheaters is around 80% while serial cheaters are incorrigible. Why play Russian Roulette with 4 rounds in th…

Intermittent fasting. If you are doing caloric restriction and strenuous exercise you risk crashing your metabolism since your body thinks you are actually starving. Do you ever lack energy where before you had it? Do you ever feel extra cold? This is your body refusing to burn the calories you're eating because it thinks you are starving to death.

The police who called me used a google phone number and the phone number is not associated with any Police department. Anytime someone who claims to be in authority or claims to be your bank, broker or some other entity you do business with, and you aren't 100% convinced they are who they claim, ask for a phone number you can call them back with. If they can't or you check out the number and it's not attached to anything, you are a victim of an attempted fraud.

I don't think we are witnessing a pendulum effect. The creation of reliable hormonal birth control has upset the evolutionary applecart. It's the greatest human experiment ever conducted.

80% of marriages are caused by women... When you recount this statistic, many women will still blame the man for the failed marriage. Men cheat, are abusive or are lazy many women will use to excuse the epidemic of female led divorce. But you know what's interesting? Lesbians divorce at twice the rate of gay men.

A feature of the human species is that males are more genetically variable, for instance the fat tails in male intelligence statistics versus females, and consequently the genetically successful breed with multiple females while the genetically inferior do not breed at all. Female sex selection drives the genetically superior males to breed and improve the species. There are various numbers for this but I've read historically around 70% of males have offspring while 98% of females do. Today both…

But the men women really want are a small subset of men, and these men happen to have a large number of sexual options. So it seems, a small number of top guys and most women have a large number of sexual options that would work against entering relationships. These numbers mean many more women would be unavailable for relationships than men.

I don't know about same sex relationships but to the extent you bond with people and subsequently break that bond could have a cumulative harmful effect. We know with heterosexual couples, psychologists tell us promiscuity is a strong predictor of infidelity, marital dissatisfaction and divorce.

I stated my case too strongly as though I know promiscuity "causes" ill effects. The studies do not claim causation. They merely claim that promiscuity predicts infidelity, not perfectly of course. It's possible that promiscuity and infidelity are both caused by something else.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/07/23 01:40 AM

Touché. You are correct and normally I strive to not make this error. I apologize. Promiscuity and infidelity may both be caused by something else. The studies I'm familiar with do not claim causation. They just say that promiscuity predicts infidelity. Not perfectly of course. This is social science which deals in generalities, averages, data distributions and confidence levels. Individuals vary.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/07/23 01:35 AM

Yes it does, although some studies show the ill effects kick in at a higher threshold of promiscuity for men than women, the effects are still real.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/07/23 01:28 AM

Yes, the science is clear that promiscuity damages the ability to form healthy long-term relationships for both men and women. Several studies show the threshold of promiscuity before ill effects kick in as higher for men than women, but the effects are still real.

Because you do the best you can with the information at hand. The strongest predictor of cheating is previous cheating. It's entirely possible that an individual who cheats will never cheat again. But why roll the dice when you know cheating is a powerful predictor of further cheating?

The main reason has always been “paternal uncertainty” I think this too and not because every man has this conscious thought.

Everytime you see a society hating men and promoting feminism, you see a huge decline in the birth rate. I get this, but does this explain the demographics crashes in China, Japan and South Korea? There are other sources for population decline and they include: rising education of women, availability of birth control, women entering the workforce and the movement of people from the countryside where children are an asset to the city where children are an expensive liability.

I think we are arguing over a definition of the word "value." We've seen all sorts of stock 'crashes' because people mistook short term value as indicative of long term value ... Yes, the collective value of things changes with time. Look at the stock market every day. You seem to be arguing for some abstract platonic ideal of the concept of "value."

You're conflating short-term with long term value. My use of the term "value" is more concrete than yours in that it is measured in dollars where yours is measured in some abstract concept you hold in your head. Also, I agree there can be a time component to value. If I build a building, that's an investment in long-term value. If I buy a 20-year bond, that's an investment in long-term value. But both of these are examples of value measured in money.
