The main reason LTR's and Marriages don't work is because of hypergamy and blue pill behavior. If you know what needs done to keep a woman on her toes with RP behavior and ahe is 1 to 2 notches below your SMV, the chances of her divorce raping you are decreased dramatically.

No, I would not recommend anyone getting married. Why? AWALT. Would I recommend a LTR? No, that sometimes can be worse, but if you are dead set that you want kids and the comforts of a woman around, do it with someone below your sexual market value. You will be the hypergamy encarnate. You will be the upgrade over everyone she's ever had. You will be the one she has always dreamed of. You will be the one at the top of the pedestal of her dumbass rom coms. If you're an 8 and you LTR a 5 or 6 and keep your game tight, the changes of her leaving for a 9 are very, very slim. The chances a 9 would want her are almost 0, plus she would be so obsessed with you that it wouldn't happen anyway.

Women are keenly aware of what they can pull, and what their SMV is. They will do whatever they can to maximize that. If you are the maximized value, your chances of her sticking it out increase dramatically.

Can you do this with an equal SMV or even with one higher than your SMV with tight game and stoic frame? Sure, but I'm talking about eliminating as much chance that this will happen to you. Find a girl that is attractive enough for you but doesn't get your juices flowing like an 8.5 or 9 does, keep your game tight, and dread her when needed. She will still need gamed and dreaded on occasion. Why? SB has a hamster. But, the amount it will be needed would be so much less that it would be worth it.

If you can be happy doing this and play your cards right, you could be one of the few with a marriage/LTR that lasts. I don't recommend it, but I know there are those of you who - whether you admit it or not - want kids and an LTR of some sort. If you are the top of the food chain for her SMV, you will always be the prize. Less shit tests, more undying love, and you will be allowed to be yourself more.

We would all love to LTR and impregnate 9's, but that leaves the door open for all of us to get screwed. This minimizes the chances, as long as we don't fuck it up by relaxing with our BP abba joe creeping in.

Merry fucking Christmas, 21st century Wester Civilization, you worthless piece of shit.
