Why do a lot of men think that a happy wife/girlfriend/woman is the main key to a good life?

Chicagoan81 · 2021-03-03T19:46:25+00:00

Hollywood movies, mainstream and social media. There are also plenty of simps roaming around spreading this BS.

Normally thats something I hear from my grandparents or something but thats exactly it. We take advice from someone who's been there and done that however, our grandparents didn't grow up with apps like tinder, hinge and what not so the information is outdated

Feminist propaganda and censorship.

TeddyMGTOW · 2021-03-03T20:21:08+00:00

I was told over and over..happy wife, happy life...its the biggest lie....in fact an unhappy wife will stick around longer...

Spoiler: what you do to make/keep them happy is NEVER enough.

In their minds they deserve everything & owe nothing.

Brainwashing. Giving women power over you, your life and making your happiness dependend from them.

The-Backwards-Man · 2021-03-04T00:52:48+00:00

Because she's more likely to give you vagina. It's only about vagina at a primal monkey level. Without that contraption, men would walk past any woman.

BlxckDollar · 2021-03-04T02:11:11+00:00

Because different forms of entertainment have indoctrinated us from the time we were toddlers to believe in that fairytale Disney bullshit.

GoMake_me_a_sandwich · 2021-03-04T04:03:42+00:00

This is from societal brainwashing to pacify men and make people think women behaving badly is not only acceptable but is normal and must be tolerated.

Bourbonandcigars06 · 2021-03-03T19:59:32+00:00

End validation, self worth and don't feel happy alone

Brian-_S · 2021-03-04T03:40:30+00:00

No man wants drama in his life so after he gets a woman he knows women are kinda crazy that if he keeps her happy there will be no drama and he will be happy

oedipusplatypus · 2021-03-03T21:04:41+00:00

Indoctrination and cognitive biases. The life of the warrior monk certainly isn't for the faint of heart.

MakeSail · 2021-03-04T04:06:47+00:00

Emotionally mature men don't. They know that their SO is responsible for her own happiness, and the man is responsible for his own. The key to a good life is to fulfill your needs first.

ChainsawJones1984 · 2021-03-03T22:23:30+00:00

It is, if you're the wife. For you, the man, not so much. It's like begging for a shet test and ready to fail before you start, if you murmur that to your woman.

mrreal01 · 2021-03-04T13:33:44+00:00

Cause they’re stupid. You can’t make women happy they constantly move the goal post. Happiness comes from within. A man will make himself crazy and broke trying to complete a never ending list of things you need to do to keep a woman happy. I’ve told my wife before if she’s not happy in our marriage don’t complain just get up, pack her shit and gtfo. You need to put your happiness first because if you don’t know one else will.

Men need to deprogram themselves into believing that if you do whatever your wife girlfriend tells you to do you and her will both be happy. Women will marry a guy with things they don’t like about you and once you’re married tell you those things and expect you to change and if you don’t nag you to death.

Very few men I know actually think that it's the 'main' thing to life but agree with other comments, the brainwashing from Hollywood and the 'romance industry' as a whole gets its grips in early, and also latent and repressed/unresolved feelings towards their mothers, which is a typical result of growing up in an obviously feminine culture with woman-led families.

It's also important not to overlook the fact that people like being nice, and like sharing happiness. The point in life isn't to embrace unhappiness either, or induce submission in a female partner. Life's tough. It's not easy.

You can build a rocketship and use it to go on the moon to build a monument for a woman only to hear her scream at you that she wants a monument on Mars.

Klotzek · 2021-03-04T11:01:33+00:00

That is beta mindset. They fear mommy will be unhappy and leave them.

Nathaniel66 · 2021-03-04T09:32:50+00:00

Socially acceptable?

Only your hapiness it the key. Sure, making other happy can make you happy, but you should always be no 1.

Spud482 · 2021-03-04T08:25:02+00:00

Brainwashing.

charvey709 · 2021-03-04T06:20:53+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but there is in part a biological drive for it. Western society has just had many oppertunities to become more enlightened and in that enlightenment we have gotten things which break primal social norms and have gotten things like women who dont want children, feminism (not to be confused with egalitarianism), MGTOW etc.

The worst part is, is that there are some MGTOW's who want to have families but have to wager those aspirations with the potential fault lines.

fire-adept · 2021-03-04T04:51:41+00:00

Old school upbringing, western thought

PuckerTension · 2021-03-04T04:25:42+00:00

Nah no thanks

TTLibertin · 2021-03-04T21:48:34+00:00

Most men lack of self-consciousness or dedication in something. That makes them prone to that thought that a woman can solve their inner void.

UnearthlyDinosaur · 2021-03-04T18:04:19+00:00

If she’s unhappy she will be making your life hell. It’s best to appease her so you aren’t on your knees the whole time

kevdogg33a · 2021-03-04T19:49:33+00:00

Indoctrination

Useful_Respond9181 · 2021-03-04T13:52:01+00:00

It's more like "if you don't keep your wife happy she will see to it that your life is hell, so if you want any peace at all, keep her happy. That way you have some change of finding some happiness in the side." Or maybe a "the success of your marriage is entirely dependent on you as the man. And if you are married, that's all you are allowed anyway."

NOWIFE · 2021-03-04T13:44:47+00:00

Most men are taught what to think, not how to think. Those men who are able to think will most definitely identify the reality of the situation. Men that believe in myths such as "happy wife happy life" most definitely deserve and will receive neither.

Khatam_kardunga1 · 2021-03-04T11:38:39+00:00

Because they are brainwashed to hear this since childhood.

omen_tenebris · 2021-03-04T11:05:33+00:00

Generational culture. It worked some time ago, now it doesn't. Society didn't catch up yet

Well I guess its because thats their oppinion. We are all entitled to them, there is nothing wrong in having them.

Just like you believe that leading a life in a relationship with a woman will lead to unhappiness they believe that having a fmaily or a relationship of some kind will make them happier or more fulfilled in life.

I certainly believe that once im married and have children, I will be more fulfilled.
