Yeah yeah another N thread lol. Whatever you do you autists, dont post the fucking studies copypasta. I've basically memorized it by now.

My contention:

N count, in absence of all other determining factors, predicts a relationship's potential fitness with decent success; 20-30% of the time (which is a pretty decent predictor in social science). I also believe it's equally applied to men and women, but TRP is men so ofc they only talk about women cheaters and divorcers and such which is understandable (also the male N is much much higher STDV as we all know -- there are much more 100+ N men than 100+ N women since the chadliest of chads can basically do whatever he wants).

However my position is that N is much less accurate than other relationship fitness indicators. I will take the perspective of a man meeting a woman but you can also gender flip with a few changes. These include, imo:

A) Age at which you met the girl: the older your partner is when you meet, the more likely they have had baggage or bad experiences

B) actual baggage or bad experiences including excessive playboys (see, N does contribute, just isn't everything), being cheated on, having kids with another man

C) Abuse, rape, or childhood trauma. It sucks for the woman because it's not her fault but the man should be weary of this causing poor relationship success

D) Divorced parents

E) Her being divorced (made a lifelong commitment to the wrong person/ditched the right person)

F) Her not being sexually attracted to you/willing to sleep with you in the context of no relationship (exceptions for tradcon or religious girls ofc, I'm only talking med to high N girls)

G) Education level as a proxy for intelligence, or simply their intelligence level. Also shows how much commitment they have to a hard task.

H) Financial capability including how spendy they are and if they like to buy flashy things

I) Who their friends are -- trashy friends = bad bad bad.

J) Past admitted cheating or manipulation or anything. Be very nonjudgemental about it, don't be mr moral high ground, just don't date or marry her

K) Combination of the big 5 traits of low disgust (trait Neuroticism), high trait Openness to Experience, high trait Extroversion. That triple combo is deadly and will lead to someone getting bored and straying more often than not.

Basically, i believe a socially adept man can determine future relationship health much more easily and assuredly via these possible red flags; the more the worse.
