I'm in my 30's. My mother educated me to be a gentleman. To show care and affection for women. I was always invested in women and romantic. It took a long time for me to understand that this hollywood like image of love is simply a lie. Women are primarly driven by hipergamy, meaning when you trully love them, you cannot give them too much of your time or confess feelings or invest too much in them because you'll look as a man with no better options and as a lower status. Women's interest is proportional with the amount of effort she needs to invest to keep you and amount of attention you get from the other women. The worst part is that women will never aknowledge this, heck they may not even be aware. But watching women's actions, not words, but actual things they are attracted to like women tendency to have more interest when they are ignored or the tendency to like bad boys and fuck boys are a proof of that. Those men inherit that name not because they are not attractive, but because they didn't choose her. Men are so much straightforward in their love, we often see love transactional, as we invest more women will feel the need to reciprocate and that's another lie. Women either like you or not in the moment. All your sacrifice is nothing if she is just not feeling it for you. While you could still convince the man by proving that you have more to offer.

I'm kinda looking for a wife now and knowing that vast majority of women sees commitment from a man as proof of his lower status is extremelly fked up. I know there are good women out there, not immune to these mind games but which are reasonable, have high self-esteem based on good moral values and are empathetic to men. Those women must know: you are a rare jewellery in this world, I have high respect for you, thank you for beign a good feminine woman, unlike most that are solely driven by a biological hardwiring like hipergamy.
