Monkey branching is fine.

eh it's not really a gendered thing assuming there is no hatred there. A partner will keep you around until they find someone else. for example a man not giving a woman a ring for several years. Breaking up with her. Then marrying the next woman he's with almost instantly. A sad state of affairs.

I don’t think I disagree with you but I think the whole concept of monkey branching is a bit flawed.

The idea that people, mostly women, leave men for someone better, but that’s not always the case and better is subjective.

Most people who cheat just cheat, they don’t think of “better” or “hotter” or “richer” they just cheat. They mostly cheat Within their own social circles as well, the idea that women cheat on average men with hot rich guys and leave the average man for a millionaire is probably one in hundreds.

What if a woman leave a hot dude for a rich one, is that monkey branching? But I thought women only cared about looks.

What if she left a rich man for a hot one? Hypergamy is financial so are women not hypergamous?

Truth is people, both men and women leave for valid and ridiculous reasons, and they may think they’re upgrading but objectively from an outside view point they maybe not. But monkey branching is just “a man’s worst nightmare” but it’s mostly that, just a nightmare.

If someone left then There’s a reason, valid or not they’re allowed to and it just reflect on them, not their whole gender.

It’s not fine, and you clearly stated why it’s not. Of course that doesn’t mean some people of both genders won’t do it, but that doesn’t make something “fine.”

Now I do agree people need to be aware of monkey branching, but realistically you aren’t always going to be able to tell if your partner is doing that. And you can end up self-sabotaging a relationship with constant suspicions, so have to be careful not to go too far one way or the other.

Believing this is also believing commitment is meaningless

KGmagic52 · 2024-11-05T12:11:16+00:00

Calling self improvement monkey branching is a pretty slippery slope. And defending monkey branching is a brain dead take.

Demasii · 2024-11-05T13:42:26+00:00

Is it shitty for the person on the other side, yes it is.

Very shitty. Hence why monkey branching is not fine.

All I am saying is that it's not feasible to work on the relationship everytime and better options are available.

So break up THEN pursue other relationships.

Healthy, well-rounded, and responsible adults don't do this, though. If a relationship becomes untenable, you end it, stay single for a season, and take in the lessons you learned in that relationship. That's how you get better at being a partner. That's why people who do this "monkey branching" nonsense are toxic as fuck. Self-reflection is a HUGE part of personal growth, and it is a skill that is sorely lacking among pill boy/girls.

Savings-Bee-4993 · 2024-11-05T18:22:45+00:00

Of course it’s not “fine” and not “not…wrong.” You admit yourself here that it’s a “shitty thing to do.”

You’re speaking as if something happening in reality means it’s not bad. That’s simply not true.

While people have free will and can (mostly) do what they want, ‘monkey branching’ is dishonest, dishonorable, and selfish. And in those cases where the person has made a commitment to another (e.g. marriage) which has not been violated by that person, it is immoral and shameful.

For many people "monkey branching" is just the plug they pull on a relationship that was dead for a long time, but they were afraid of letting go. Meeting the other person and falling in love with them is the necessary push for leaving a bad relationship for many people. I was one of them myself.

flipsidetroll · 2024-11-05T10:31:16+00:00

Redpill men: it’s disgusting when women test men, are transactional, and won’t love us for who we are.

Also redpill men: I’m going to test my partner constantly, use my money as a bargaining chip, and then glow up to be so much better looking than anyone she can get.

Look, we get it. You are total hypocrites, but if you can’t see it, you are really unintelligent, and if you see it but you can’t be honest, you’re trashy. But either way, only person you are embarrassing is yourself.

Monkey branching slowly deteriorate the social contract and contribute to a shit society so the argument is only fine if you think that having a third world country mentality is fine (it's not).

purplish_possum · 2024-11-05T22:18:43+00:00

Sure. Women are free to do whatever they want. However, men are equally free to not believe women when they profess loyalty

rustlerhuskyjeans · 2024-11-06T06:27:05+00:00

How it ends up is just an excuse to cheat. It’s highly not likely to work out with the first person they try it with. Then the monkey brancher won’t leave and just say they didn’t do it.

Objective_Ad_6265 · 2024-11-06T20:15:13+00:00

No, it's not fine, it's terrible thing to do to someone. And to begin with it's wrong and predatory to date better than nothing for the sake of not being alone while you know it's not your forever person but just a placeholder until you meet better.

sansan6 · 2024-11-05T09:50:19+00:00

This gotta be the dumbest shit I read on here

berichorbeburied · 2024-11-05T09:39:39+00:00

This is the battle/war of virtue/love vs formula/strategy/success

Basically if you don’t believe or practice love or virtue everything you said makes sense and is very calculating and wise

As nobody is entitled for someone to stay and anyone can leave at any time. So being prepared is the wise course of thinking

Along with knowing you are only “loved” for meeting certain requirements and checklists and milestones

In a sense earning your relationship/situation through performance and aptitude and etc

On the other side

Where love/virtue reign

You are supposed to have complete loyalty no matter what. Sacrifice your happiness and etc for commitment. Keep your relationship together. And be content with what you do have. And etc etc

On this hand what you wrote is blasphemy and they would probably say don’t enter into a relationship you want to leave and villainize you

But this only works if both parties are on this same wave length

And people fought hard for no fault divorce amongst other things

So the idea of true loyalty or sacrifice is not that prevalent for someone to really be on this side

Nevertheless if one did have virtue/love and the relationship was built on that

I actually do understand that pov as well

I’m stuck in between both of these world views

And so even though I see both sides

I haven’t chose a side yet

I’ll self reflect on this tonite

Monkey branching is only evil' when men do it. When women do it then its good that she choose whats best for her and left that loser behind.
