I would agree. I think traditional values come into play more than political affiliation. I think OP is confused on the 2, and I get it. Conservatives generally tend to be more traditional than progressives.

No. That's a horrible thought process. If we're talking legit love, it would be creepy as hell for him to be in love with you from day 1. Granted, he should know pretty soon after (6 weeks or so), but not only is your friend setting up HORRIBLE expectations for men, she's getting infatuation and love confused.

Ah. Thanks for clarifying. We all have baises, and mine definitely come from the reality that I didn't go to college and when I worked, made $60k a year. My mother, who also doesn't work, has taken home over 100k a year with no degree for over a decade. Granted, my husband has 2 masters and makes $130k, which I don't realistically ever see myself making without a degree/education of some type. I think for OP, it depends on if she wants to make a lot of $€£ or have a highly purposeful life (so sa…

Wow. I really appreciate you taking the time to say that. I have such a heart for so many of the posts here, and the idea of not feeling like you're enough personally resonates very deeply with me. I love that this is a relatively no BS sub, but we have to remember that truth, spoken in love, is the best. You made my day!!! ❤️

A. I'm glad you broke up with him. He was trash. B. You need time to mourn the situation. This was something that was important to you, and now it's gone. I grew up religious as well, and remember when I had the same experience. Don't push it down and suppress how you feel. Grieve. Mourn. And then forgive yourself. C. I know it feels like no high value man will want you, but that is just not true. You cannot control whether you're a virgin any longer, but you can control whether you're enjoyable…

It's fine that you think that. To me, it's terrible advice to tell someone to sign up for $80k in debt because they may be able to pay it off one day. We have 10 years of anecdotal evidence in America that this mentality is just NOT working. Again, it depends where one lives. Here, you can do squat with a bachelor's in psychology, except go for your master's.

I completely disagree with another poster. Financial freedom is not to be found through a loan. That is literally indentured servitude. Not sure where you live, but you can find MANY well paying jobs through and apprenticeship or 2 year degree program (paying community college prices).

My husband saw me when he walked into the shop and decided to sit down in the big fluffy chair next to me. He proceeded to kinda stare at me over his book (in a less creepy way than what I just typed) until I got the hint. We ended up chatting for so long that we closed the coffee shop down. He asked if I'd like to keep the conversation going over dinner... and we proceeded to close the Mexican restaurant down as well. After that, it all just fell into place. I WILL SAY THIS: I think the geograp…

I'd recommend looking up the Kitchner essences. I'm Soft Dramatic in kibbe, and while I always knew that things like wrap dresses looked good on me, I cannot fathom wearing most of the SD wardrobe. Then I found the Kitchener essences and it all clicked (for me, I'm a mix of classic and romantic with just a tad of dramatic). Also, even though I'm 5'7", I don't read as 'tall' the way most SDs do. For complexion, if you can't figure out whether you're cool toned or warm toned, you could be neutral …

Yes. My husband is currently driving our first car from Washington to Virginia. I'm not with him because I'm pregnant and it's not safe to drive that long. I miss him and look forward to him being home in a few days. I will say: I'm not sure if it's because we've recently turned a corner into summer, if it's because I know he's still in the continental US, or of it's because I recently had to deal with him being in Thailand for a whole month, but this separation is WAY easier for me than it woul…

Currently cooking up baby nunber 1. Due in 2 months. I've been a SAHW since April of 2022. We have a spreadsheet we stick to. Every 2 weeks, we sit down and go over it. We allocate what money goes where. We built into our budget each of our 'discretionary funds' ($200) for whatever the individual wants, and a date night budget of $300.

You've literally taken away ANY power you have in this situation. You're playing wife to someone who won't propose. And why would he? By your actions, you've said you're accepting of whatever he deems fit to give you. He absolutely feels entitled, and if you aren't willing to leave this situation, you will always be right exactly here.

I dated a 52M when I was 26. I would not recommend. Looking back, I now see that there was a reason he was dating someone so young... and it's not because I was just so mature. It was because he was that immature in his development that nobody his age wanted to be with him. There's a reason for these things. Now, I'm 29 and married to a 37 year old. That's a 7ish year age gap, and I find it MUCH better. My husband is 100 times the man my ex was, and is like 30 years younger. Age does NOT automat…

I'm against no-fault divorce, but not against divorce altogether. With technology being what it is, it is NOT that hard to submit proof of abuse via Ring, etc. (looking at you, Steven Crowder). However, if the parameters are "emotional abuse", there will inevitably be those that just don't want to be married, but use the "emotional abuse" excuse to get their way. Idk if it can be implemented in today's society.

It has to be on the ground, and not government mandates. Work on yourself, marry a good man, and raise kids NOT to be this way. Take young girls that are struggling under your wing and show them a better way than the one they have. I'm not here to normalize shaming women foe their pasts (and have gotten much hate on this sub by arguing that). We have to be able to articulate and show young girls why the 'normal' path is a road to destruction, not fulfillment.

No, this is a man attempting to normalize infidelity. This is NOT "just how men are". This is how children act. You are under no obligation to "come to terms with it." Unfortunately, you're going to have to address that this is NOT acceptable now, or you will resent this in 10 years, after he's given you an STD from fu**ing around (happened to my great aunt).

No, I do not agree with this. I know you're a MOD and I say the following with full respect for the position: While everyone deserves to be happy, you CANNOT say, in good faith, that being a sugar baby conforms to RPW ideology. Actually, it goes against MULTIPLE things in the wiki. Women have inherent power due to their sexuality, and selling that power to a man does nothing to ensure her long-term happiness, nor increase her prospects at finding a mate. This is basic RPW ideology. Also, the ide…

No!!! This is what I hate about the whole 'body count' talk. It NEVER goes well, and your bf ends up judging who you were, not who you are.. You are NOT worthless. You ABSOLUTELY have value. It sounds like you need to grieve and mourn your past, but you are NOT defined by it. Of course, your bf may see this as a no-go for him, but to me, that shows that he has no grace for your growth as a person (as a Christian, I find that to be a little icky). The reality is that you once lived a life that yo…

May I ask you a question, a Christian woman to a Muslim woman? How does the age difference factor in for you? Is this relatively common in Muslim circles? Is it abnormal? Is it culturally accepted? I know that a 20 year age gap would be VERY scrutinized in most non-cult parts of Chriatian culture.

Abso-fucking-lutely NOT. A. He is okay with dating someone 20 years younger than him. Not good. B. He's twice divorced. Which means he doesn't know how to be in a healthy relationship long-term. (My mother married my father after his 2 divorces. Guess what? He was a piss-poor husband, and the relationship lasted 7 years). C. He cheated. Nuff said. D.

Not sure which country you're in. Here in America, there are many 2 year degrees (our normal degree is a bachelor's at 4 years). The 2 year degree is absolutely recognized as a legitimate path, but it's moreso for jobs that don't need extended training (sonography and dental hygienist are 2 2 year degree options). I would recommend looking I to something like that, so that you DO have a path to gainful employment, should you need it. There's no guarantee that you'll get wiped up next week, and a…

This will naturally fade as you age.. I had EXTREMELY baby-faced cheeks until I was 23 or 24. As you get into your 40s, you'll appreciate that you had so much collagen, because you won't get the sunken-in cheek thing. Imo, there are some topical things you can do in the meantime: - adopt a more sophisticated hairstyle. Extra long hair SCREAMS 'young'. Think past your shoulders but before your boobs. - dress the age you want to be. When I was in my early 20's, I was all about cheap clothes from F…

Here's my 2 cents: women naturally look for things/people to nurture. It's biologically built into us. This is not a bad thing, but can absolutely be taken advantage of by the wrong person. You MUST have 7 you will end up being used by someone who either wants a mommy or a maid. This urge you have to nurture shouldn't be suppressed, but it should be protected.

I read your older post, and it sounds like you have some trauma to work through. IMO, "making peace" with never having sex again puts the power and control into the hands of your abusers. That fear/shame/whatever emotion controls you, and will continue to do so until you conquer it. Also, I do not feel it's fair to vilify men for their sexual needs and nature. Men bond by accomplishing tasks with those they care about (eg, making their partner orgasm). To take that away from someone, or expect t…

I get this, to some degree. I grew up in a very fundamentalist religious community and I scared all the guys (and they bored me). By the time I was 20, I realized I didn't know how to date, so I downloaded an app to learn how to talk to guys and go on dates well. It helped me. Obviously, you have to be discerning, but you have to eventually get out there and try, imo.

It is unwise to put expectations of how you're "supposed" to feel on yourself. Speaking from personal experience, I used to have a very similar situation. I was raised in a family where the motto was, "When you have to choose between logic and emotion, choose logic." This impressed upon me the idea that emotions are bad and to be repressed. Obviously, this is untrue. I would recommend you take some time alone with yourself to journal how you're feeling. Currently, it sounds like you're going thr…

I agree. What constitutes as being a HVM on this sub is woefully narrow, imo. Also, it seems that it's usually the case that some dude calls himself a HVM, and then the woman just accepts it and goes with it without scrutinizing.

You may not want to hear this, but that likely due to your age. We've all been there. For me, it was a guy 27 years older than me (I cringe to think about that now.) At the time, I thought "well, I'm obviously just very mature to be able to keep the interest of someone that age." Now, I realize that he was just that immature that a 23 year old kept his interest. I promise, you can do better than this guy.

I agree with you. My man is very stereotypically masculine (career Army), but he'd be the absolute first to say that there are things I'm better at/more suited to/know more about than him. And obviously, vice versa. It isn't about surrendering all of your autonomy to some dude, imo. It's about feeling safe enough in your relationship that you cannlet go of the urge to do it all and be it all. That's true for me, anyway.

I come from 5 generations of divorce on my mother's side, and I've never met my biological father, as he wanted me aborted.

Yall need to have a polite conversation about this. If he's going into debt to spoil you, that's not good, and is actually counterproductive in showing you he can be a good provider. I would sit him down and say, very nicely, "I appreciate all the gestures, but I'm slightly uncomfortable with this and don't know how to respond." Fair warning: depending on how young he is, he may get a Lil hissy over this.

Regardless of his creepy social media postings, 14 years is a BIG red flag, trust me.

Yeah, so not a single thing about that says "provider". That screams that he wants to cosplay the 1950's on your side, but has no interest in ponying up on his end. Have you asked him where he sees this relationship going? How old are y'all and how long have y'all been together?

You are not his wife. You have no obligation to play wife if he has not made you the offer of marriage. Turn it around on him: how is he actively working to provide for y'alls future? How is he showing up to be the man that you deserve? Quite frankly, I imagine that if he were acting put his part of the equation, you might naturally feel safer to exude femininity.

Odd contribution, but doing things with your husband that are an obstacle that y'all can overcome. When men overcome an obstacle with someone, their body releases vasopressin, which is the male bonding hormone. (This is why you should never fake it in bed.

I get what you're saying, and for the most part, I agree. To respond to your murder example, I could say that that is an extreme example. If someone is a recovered alcoholic, and shows that they've changed, I would not hold them to the standard of their worst self, because I believe in redemption and growth. That said, I may not choose to enter into a relationship with someone who has been divorced 3 times, because my values do not align with divorce. I agree that the number of sexual partners h…

Yeah, I don't buy that. Emotional maturity and the effort to improve oneself is far superior, in terms of potential longevity of a relationship, than the number of dudes you drunkenly hooked up with in college. I DO believe that women with higher body counts are trying to overcome some deep-seated fear/resentment within themselves, but body count alone is not an accurate predictor of relationship compatibility or emotional health, for that matter.
/r/RedPillWomen12/04/23 11:32 PM

That's a great point that I've never thought about. My husband and I have never discussed body count, because it doesn't matter. Of course, we've discussed past previous relationships, especially if there were lasting effects, but as we were both serious from the get-go, past sexual partners were irrelevant. In this case, it sounds like OP brought it up, and I cannot understand why women on this sub are so fixated on it.

The location tracking is a symptom of a larger issue. That issue is the fact that you haven't worked through past traumas, and you are now punishing an innocent individual for the depravity of an ex. The location tracking is a bandaid, but it won't fix the gaping wound. You have to do that work yourself.

Real question: why are people talking about body counts at all? Presumably, if you're looking to find a long-term romantic partner, past partners are irrelevant.

Have you verbally acknowledged to him "hey, I see that what I'm working through can wear you down, and I wanted to say 'thank you' for having grace for me? I want you to know that I do see it and I really am thankful"? Sometimes, acknowledgment will go REALLY far in helping the situation. I also wanted to add: i know a lot of the other comments say "nuh uh. He is low value. I would never let that slide." The reason I didn't jump there is because it can be SO easy to have leftovers from previous …

It depends. I see 2 scenarios: Dude has a habit of being unsupportive or emotionally wishy washy even outside of these insecurity interactions. If that's the case, I'm afraid that that's how he is and there's no way you can change that (he has to want to change on his own). He is otherwise very supportive naturally. If that's the case, I'd sit him down and say "I've been doing a lot of reflecting on this issue. As we've previously discussed, I have some anxious attachments I'm actively working t…

Gentle reminder that the picture isn't really the problem, your insecurity is. I'm not judging because I had the exact same issue when dating my then-bf (now husband). I straight up told him on date number 4 or 5 (after I could tell there was something between us) that trust was hard for me and that I will get there, but I'll be a Lil twitchy for the first 6 months or so. He was thankful that I gave him that heads up and was SO gracious during that process. He didn't bounce, and when I got a lit…

I thinknits natural cause and effect. The broader culture has swung so far to the humanist/secular side, and everyone seems effing miserable, that there will necessarily be a backlash of people who want nothing to do with that life and will start exploring religion. If/when that does happen, it's the responsibility of the church to foster that in a healthy way. I'm skeptical of how much the Church has learned and grown in the last decade.

If I have learned one thing, it is this: you cannot attempt to coerce or convince someone in this situation to have a change of heart. This is NOT a small matter. If he DOES 'come around' (read: give in to make you happy), he will likely resent you later for it. This is why it is SO important to have the hard conversations super early. I know women hate that idea, because they assume that men will be scared off. The truth is: men will NOT be scared off. Boys will be scared off. Men are looking t…

He's still developing mentally. Since he's not innately horny for marriage, he'll probably wait until his 30s to get married. This is very common for men. Women mature faster and are aware of our biological clock, so we're more apt to get married younger. I'd be really honest with myself if I were you. If you know what you want, is this individual worth the sacrifice?

That last paragraph is some TOXIC AF internalized misogyny. Of course your hobbies are just as important. You're not your family's doormat. You need time to and for yourself. I would recommend really looking into where in you that last paragraph stems from. That is a real quick recipe for you going down this path for a decade only to wake up and realize you're miserable and resentful.

Pretty sure one does not need to be a cochise addict to "speak out" and say it's a life-ruining addiction. Likewise, you do not have to be black to say that fatherlessness is one of the major problems facing the black community. Facts are facts are facts. No skin color or sexual orientation will change that. I had a big WTF moment during COVID too. I'd recommend you just keep unlearning the lies and filling yourself up with truth.

This. This is the way. No checklist is going to make you marriage material. Sure, some guys won't like certain attributes, but there's not a "do these things and you're good to go" strategy.

Imo, you're trying to solve an internal issue with external solutions. No amount of dresses or a soft spoken demeanor can fix your opinion of yourself. Unfortunately, I fear that what may be driving men away is what you called 'desperation' in another comment.

Online dating isn't particularly effective in finding a potential partner, imo. On these platforms, people are generally looking for things they see as deal breakers, where if you were in person, these attributes may not seem such a big deal. I'd recommend either joining an adult sports league, finding a religious community with people your age, and/or making friends with married couples, because married couples want to hook all their single friend up.

My girl, we had sex our second date. It worked out well and we're now married with a baby on the way (so it does show that there are times where it works out) but I would NOT recommend this. I'm not sure where I stand on sex outside of marriage as a Christian context, but I DEFINITELY see why it's beneficial to wait. Looking back, I have regrets about the people I slept with *mainly I regret where I was emotionally at those times), and admit that it would be really nice for both my husband and I…

The second to the last sentence of your first paragraph says it all. Tell him that. Personally, my husband and I didn't wait to have sex, even though I was raised in the Church my whole life. Looking back, I wish I'd waited ... not just with him, but with anyone I'd had sex with.

I relate a lot. The men in my family wanted respect they did not earn, and it gave me a HORRIBLE view of masculinity for the longest time.

I had this in certain aspects... not so much in baking or wearing dresses, but I had this inability to let a man help me, because it made me feel weak. I eschewed the color punk because I hated the connotation.

From on Christian to another (who has been exactly where you are re: the shame and self-loathing) You MUST forgive yourself. The Bible teaches that if we ask for forgiveness and are truly repentant, Jesus will always forgive. This is not a surprise to Him; He loves you just as much now as He did then. Ask God to show you how HE sees you because we are to renew our minds to see like Christ... NOT like how we see. I'm not saying that you can do whatever and it's fine because you're forgiven, obvs …

Yes. He's not interested in bettering himself; the apathy proves that. If you see a future with him, make sure to factor in the probability that he will always be this way... especially as he's approaching 30. This is a 21 year old mindset that he has no interest in changing.

Good on you for telling her. That takes balls and shouldn't be overlooked. Hopefully this is a good learning opportunity. Also, if I can offer a piece of unsolicited advice: DON'T date random on the internet.

The sunken cost fallacy is ABSOLUTELY a thing for women.. especially when they're either a certain age or have invested a lot of time into a relationship. I see this with my own sister.

Again, my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt: As you're not his wife, trying to take that place without the title leads to an increased possibility of resentment on both sides (this is Kevin Samuels saying this, I can probably find the video on this if you want.)

I'm not sure that you can reasonably complain of her doing this, as it's been 4 years and you're not married. B. Yes, it does sound like his mother is infantilizing him.

Personally, as a practicing Christian, I believe that a women is to submit to her husband, as the Church submits to Christ. I ALSO believe that a man is to die (to himself) the way Chriat died for the Church. Practically, that looks like my husband making the decisions in the realm that he's moat comfortable, and I make decisions in the realm I'm most comfortable. It works well for us.

You cannot help someone with a problem that they either don't see as a problem, or don't want help with.

Nice men do not have the ability/desire to ever tell you the hard thing that's in your best interest.

Morality is not innately feminine. I think certain aspects may appeal to men and women differently (eg nurturing for women and chivalry for men). But having good morals is universal.
