Can LTR bring you more happiness (then you already have)

You need to look up something called confirmation bias.

Studies show in the US criminality has been steadily going down over the years. However, news reporting of crimes has been increasing, and it gives the population the impression that crime is in an all time high.

You only hear about the cases where it goes wrong. You dont see any old man coming here in the end of his life saying his unicorn never cheated. There may be a ton more of non-cheating unicorns, you just never hear about them.

Not invalidating other answers, just want to mention this may be happening.

Providing you vet her properly then yes, assuming your life is already in order i.e. good health, decent career/running a business, hobbies/social life etc. A large number of the posts you're referring to include women who are not LTR material.

I'd also like to point out that not all women are cheating whores, albeit they have the capacity to be. You've got to make sure you're looking in the right places to find a suitable LTR i.e. not online, meeting in a bar etc. Either through social circle or day game.

And then that's just the start of it. If you're not constantly looking to max out your SMV and continue to apply game principles to your LTR, the risk of being a victim of hypergamy increases.

You should also bear in mind the reasoning for why you want an LTR. For me, I'm only in one because I want children soon and have managed to find a good woman with no red flags. If you're not planning on having children in the nearish future (say up to five years), then an LTR in my view is rather pointless.

You are responsible for you. If you're not happy alone you're not happy in an LTR. Any happiness you may feel, while great and all, is temporary. It's like getting drunk and calling it happiness.

Yes but she shouldn't be your primary source. Think of it like diversifying your investments. If she does cheat, you have other ways to keep happy.

If you don't know how to LTR then don't do it. People think that LTR's are easier than plating but it's actually much harder. There's rules and theories you have to implement in order to even make it worth it.

If you're depending on an LTR (or anyone) for "happiness" then you've already lost.

If you're worried about her eventually cheating then you're already losing.

You need to know how to successfully manage an LTR before you even consider being in one.

I recommend going on the "Family Alpha" website to learn what a RP relationship can look like.

Although right now I prefer spinning plates to an LTR, I do believe that the happiest a man can be is in a good LTR with a decent woman.

Yes it can.

Its possible to get a woman who loves you and is loyal to you.

Most guys admittedly, aren't capable of it though.

You still always need to maintain your opportunities, and have back up abilities and plans, because it can change in an instant.

Who knows what makes you truly happy? You can’t possibly ever know if she will cheat or has cheated so why do you think so much about it when’s out of your control? Just be sure to be happy even without her...

That's why you build a soft harem, to increase the pussy intake and decrease the drama.

How to be happy in LTR when seeing so many posts on cheating unicorns? If her cheating will eventually come what’s the point of engaging in one.

There are no unicorns.

If her cheating is a problem then you shouldn't be dating her.

Look at it like "this is ok for now". When she cheats ditch her. It's gonna happen sooner or later. If that means it's not worth being in a LTR with her then so be it.

I think the answer is included in your post. It’s self explanatory.
