PREAMBLE

I myself have been romantically limerent, or in limerence, since 1994. I've been nominally limerent for an aunt - niece pair for 30 years now, and counting. I've been seriously limerent for that same aunt - niece pair (LO01 and LO02, respectively) for at least 22 of those years.

This one relationship has united the majority of the years, indeed.

I was romantically limerent for my "first love," my first object of limerence (LO), from 1994 to 2010. As a Boomer, ex-LO LO01 is the biological aunt of LO02, but not my aunt.

I have been romantically limerent for my current object of limerence, LO02, since 2008. As an elder Millennial, she is the biological niece of LO01, but not my niece.

INTENTIONAL SERIAL MONOGAMY

Women can be intentional serial monogamists. A great example is none other than LO01.

In terms of personal character, she is now a shadow of her former self. In recent years, she had an online interview in which she stated that she has been divorced more than once, and in which she has openly proclaimed herself to be a serial monogamist. Now tired of marriage, she is in the interpersonal business of intentionally hopping from one not-so-long-term boyfriend to another. If you were to become her next boyfriend, it means she will move on and dump you once you're no longer useful.

THROWAWAY PARTNERS NEEDED

The manosphere is all about casual sex, so I view its positions as misogynist noise. Besides, it is men who do "Alpha Fucks / Beta Bucks," and this has somehow been projected onto women.

For men without relationship experience (not sex, per se), the male equivalent of intentional female serial monogamy is the starter girlfriend.

It is justified for late bloomer men to lie and manipulate in order to obtain experience with living together, and thus cease to be relationship virgins. It is also justified for the same late bloomers to kick out their starter girlfriends once their relationship use value is no longer there.

The more so, I would argue, if they are in the 35 - 45 age range.
