Yes. Convenient once you are an older women, right? It's hard to believe that they believe it.

1) If you want to get married, you are in the wrong sub 2) If an institution requires you to be exceedingly average, maybe you should ask why you want to participate in it 3) As a wrote in my other comment, this post is factually wrong concerning separate vs. communal property (wealth attained before or after marriage). You'd be wise to ignore it. I'm naturally more conservative, but the realities of today are harsh and require major adjustment to survive unscathed. Here's an example of actually…

Except the pieces of "practical" advice are asinine. From a legal perspective, it is legally better to get married after one becomes wealthy. That wealth is considered separate, not communal (unless deliberately converted). He's factually wrong about that. And, by the way, finances are the most common reason cited for the initiation of divorce. This guy is suggesting one limit the financial potential of the family for the sake of keeping it together. That's almost certainly not going to work and…

I normally wouldn't call someone out, but this is just a terrible piece- regardless of TRP endorsement badge. First, Rule 1: Do not get married. It doesn't need provisos or amendments. Just don't do it in America. Second, let's address this: "If you marry while Poor to a higher SMV "Good Girl" you can pull off a successful long term marriage as long as you make "just enough" to get by, but not "too much" to allow the woman to be spoiled." So the guys here should aspire to just "get by"? To be mi…

To be fair, we don't call them "bastards" anymore. At least, not to their faces. Divorce-rape is worse than out-of-wedlock children (to use a euphemism) because at least you'll still have the resources to raise them and give them opportunities rather than pay for your (and her) lawyer's summer home. I, too, am fairly traditional by nature. But, I also realize that my values are an anachronistic for today's social structure and rules. As such, I've changed practices accordingly.

I am calm- it's not my future. The format requires textual cues that I would normally use vocal intonations to indicate. Granted, all those things about TRP and its uses are true. However, the last one is the one that is given the most relevant and oft repeated slogan: Do not get married. You can choose to continue to see this girl, despite the concerning flags and views regarding responsibility (she completely ignores/denies her own agency), that is entirely up to you. The lack of agency is way…

What are you asking TRP for? Your espoused tenets are not exactly compatible with TRP. Why would you even entertain the notion of "wifing up" under the marriage 2.0 rules/regulations? Especially with a girl whose already waving red flags. Go over to r/relationships where they will tell you to empathize with her, drop the plates and marry her already. If your stated concerns are actually well-founded, there is no relationship good enough to risk the absolute ruination of your reputation and futur…

You have a GF and plates? Don't you mean you have one main plate and side dishes? Either way, you should immediately downgrade softly and slowly move on. You said it yourself: "I do not want to face some charges / be fired from my job when we eventually face a breakup" Why wait for this to blow up in your face? Get ahead of this while you can.

It's symptomatic of a general lack of wisdom- or disdain for it. Mothers, aunts, older women used to advise younger women that following their impulses should be checked by their limited time frame. Nowadays, no one is there to give advice anymore or are shouted down as misogynist and/or browbeaten into silence. It is only the pain of experience that can reveal reality. The question is: does she truly and faithfully explain her experiences & mistakes to the next generation, or does she double do…

"Feminist logic"- an oxymoron if I've ever heard one! Good points, here. People seems to treat exceptions as the rule as a mental salve to deny reality. Like: "College dropouts can become tech billionaires." Oh yeah? First of all, they got into & matriculated at Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford or some equally elite college. Moreover, look at who works for and runs the companies. Management and project leaders all have degrees from said institution. The founders are the least credentialed peop…

Not really. If she were in any way cognizant of how it looked or was interested in maintaining the relationship with Steve, it was a low-key way of "checking her". It would allowed her and him to save some face in front of the group. She could have laughed at the line, then shut her mouth for the rest of the night and backed off Bob. She crossed the line and it was an indirect way of telling her she was. Her escalating it from there (verbally comparing them) was the clear indication of lack of r…

It depends on what type of financial analysis you want to do and why you want to do it. I am an investment financial analyst at a fund, but there are many subsets of financial analysts (credit, ratings, equities, investment bank, etc.). Also, where is important: do you want to be in a major financial capital (NYC, London, Toyko, etc.) or elsewhere? Do you want work on the buyside (funds) or sellside (i.e. investment banks)? Do you want to work for a hedge fund, mutual fund, or a pension plan? Do…

Actually, that $78,000+ figure is without the MBA- Bachelors is the minimum requirement. Most financial analysts don't have MBA because financial statement analysis and other related skills do not require an advanced degree. That's why I was kinda surprised by the post. If OP went to a good business school, he should be aiming to clear $100,000 per annum at least. Otherwise, any salary increase would likely be eaten up by student loan payments (if he has any)- making the MBA a wash.

The discomfort is part of change. You're bending in a new direction. It'll end when you receive your first paycheck. To be honest, $63,050 (after bonus) isn't that much for financial analysis work, especially if you have an MBA from a legit institution. I'm kinda surprised it isn't more. Median pay is over $78,000 per year- so really, you have nothing to feel guilty about. Source: I'm a financial analyst.

Right. Effort matters. But emotionally, it is very different for men & women. For healthy women, it's like they are given $1M the day they turn 18, but she cannot keep it forever. The average healthy man has no endowments on his 18th birthday, and may only become a millionaire with hard work. But once he has it, it cannot be taken away. There are trade-off to this. Many men will never earn that $1M- but the opportunity was available for most.

In the same way women give men bad relationship advice, women give other women bad relationship advice. They think the qualities they find attractive in men, men must also find attractive in women. They want a man that is bold, career-oriented, successful, ambitious and somewhat disagreeable (i.e. demanding). It's an amusing self-gratifying notion. It's the blind leading the blind.

This is true. They've no legs to stand on (no pun intended) if they try the chaste, "True Love Waits" act. If they want even a hope of landing a long-term partner, they gotta put out. The Alexes of the world may be arriving late, but they are no mopes- they know these women have been around the block a time or two. That leaves these women vulnerable to the counter-strategy "pump 'n dump". If they don't put out, Alex will leave (which is exactly what happened in the article).

What?! That's the opposite of many guys' experience. Younger women are generally not looking for something serious, just fun: no drama, no pressure. With the added benefit of not sleeping with another man's wife and the potential risks and consequences that entails. Your cheating sidepiece isn't looking for something serious because that would be bigamy.

If you have such abundance, why are you doing something so dumb with no upside for you and plenty of potential pitfalls? The major risk factor you're not considering in your "analysis" is the potential you've set up for professional blowback. If this goes wrong in ANY way- if she catches feelings, she wants something more and you don't- she has you over a barrel. She could damage your reputation by claiming you asked for sex in exchange and she had no money, being injured and all. "He took advan…

You did not address my points, even obliquely. You assert that women are more valuable, but make no persuasive argument for the claim. "We vote with are genes"? What does that even mean? You seems like you don't grasp complementary and competition between the sexes. There is not absolutely one better strategy. They compete- they wax and wane. Otherwise, one would have dominated the other out of existence. For example, Genghis Khan is believed to be the progenitor of nearly 1 in 200 men in Asia (…

Understood. The issue is that this "contract" is only partially enforced. For example, the provisioning expectation from men is considered enforceable, but home & hearth/sexual access are NOT enforceable. So, OP claims that RP men should be OK with paying, but I doubt she would entertain the notion that she should live up to the expectations of her prospects. Her view is showing up is enough to fulfill her burden- it's not. It's not like educating women has been a thing for a long time, so men a…

You're one of the people who thinks 1 pound of muscle weighs more than 1 pound of flesh. Women are not more valuable automatically. Here's something to consider: the average women is not better than the average man. "Success" and "value" are not the same. Women's success in passing down 80% (vs. men's 40%) is about biology and physiology, not value. A women is physically weaker than an average man and thus less threatening.

It is not deductive reasoning if you treat a conditional statement as an absolute which is exactly what you are doing. It is very difficult to see for the uninitiated, but an Intro to Logic student can see the starkness of your mistake. There is even as strong case of circular reasoning, based on your responses (masculine men get laid, ergo men who are getting laid must be masculine; if a man is masculine, he must get laid.) No, I did not use a strawman, I proposed an alternative. You merely wan…

It is probably pretty important since every major civilization went to great pains to enact & codify significant controls. The greatest natural renewable human resource is male sexual desire. If you can channel that productively, you have an important building block for advancement. Because civilization throughout history is based on the family unit. Unchecked desire is disastrous and can easily sow disharmony.

You assert. You are making a logical fallacy with this entire post if that is your response. Yours is called the fallacy of the converse or "affirming the consequent". Your responses to all challenges have been to assert that B must follow A, unequivocally. You're presenting your conditional statement as an absolute. Not only is it flawed logic, it is not appropriate to pretend that you are open to changing your views. If a man is masculine, then he will get laid. A man is (not) getting laid. Th…

The real solution is completely getting rid of gov't licensure of voluntary arrangements. But considering that isn't going to happen, maybe a mix. There could be no-fault provisions if both parties consent. But, if one parties cheats and/or violates the terms of the marriage and it could be demonstrated, they would be considered at fault and would not be entitled to certain benefits (alimony, assets, etc.). Legally, marriage is a incorporation and there are rules of conduct for a corporations.

I don't really buy this at all. I think of it more as a release valve. For example, historically when men had to get married to access women, most men married young (male sexual demand is inelastic). Once reliable birth control was introduced, it relieved the pressure to get married so soon, so fewer men did. With prostitution, think of it as a "substitute good". If the price of one, preferable good (i.e. GF or wife) gets too expensive, demand switches to the substitute (escorts, call girls, etc…

I believe we've arrived at the core of our disagreement- an irreconcilable difference in our worldviews. Our views of what constitutes a "ban" and what is "freedom" are fundamentally incompatible. And that's OK, I guess. I just deeply disagree with how you use the words and what adults should appropriately be able to do without government permission. For example, I would say that codeine is banned in America. You would say it is not banned because you can get it with a doctor-written prescriptio…

For all intents and purposes, paternity tests are banned. So, not only did you not refute what I said (because it is unassailable), you revealed that you have thoroughly bought into the insanity of fearing the truth. It would be one thing if the government chose not to recognize tests from non-certified labs. They went further and banned ALL private use. The court ban applies to any non-sanctioned test, regardless if it is performed by the most meticulous and prestigious labs- it would still be …

Actually, they are unless ordered by a court. An unauthorized test, say, mail-ordered to Switzerland, carries a penalty is up to 1 year in prison and a €15,000 fine. The courts ruled that it could upset "domestic peace". It's under Article 226-28 of the Penal Code.

Yes. The home console model is that instead of taking a pocketful of quarters to the local arcade, you pay an upfront cost (plus cost of games) and you can have the full experience at home at your convenience and however long you want. It is limiting for people who don't have a few hundred dollars at the time, but time & technology have brought down costs so that even the poorest families can afford a console. Maybe they buy a PS3 for $200 instead of a PS4 for $400. But that is superior experien…

She should be shamed for violating her vows. She ended up cheating on him anyways and leaving him for one of her lovers. Shaming allows for punishment without violence.

Agreed. I think the OP made the mistake of being drawn into the author's frame. He labels the husband like a typical "beta", but he was getting weekly sex 18 years into a relationship. She claims it was "boring" and "uninspiring", but that reads as revisionist to me. That quantity is beyond duty sex of birthday, anniversary, and a tugjob at Christmas.

You're reading a lot of "alpha" & "beta" traits where I don't really think it's justified. For example, he was unyielding about no children. He refused outright several times and when he suspected she might have an "accident", he got a vasectomy. Isn't that holding his own?

Islamic marriages are to allow for de facto prostitution. For example, a man would travel to Egypt, a popular destination, and marry an 18-year old for a week or so while on vacation. Then, the marriage is dissolved when he leaves and she gets some money. It's just prostitution by another name, designed around the technicalities in the Koran/Hadith.

This only works in a world where there are consequences for failing. A marriage is transactional. If you do not uphold your end of the deal, there should be consequences. The laws are not structured to enforce any marital obligations. Hell, even fidelity is not a dischargeable offense (she could cheat, divorce and still get alimony).
