Here's an observation I haven't heard around here. Female partners and their white knights coax you into committing. Committing in ever way. Committing not just to women, as we discuss, but just committing. I'm mid 20's. The last time I talked to my dad, he said "I want to see you working a 2 to 3 year commitment". He didn't seem to care what it was. He just wants me weighed down by burden, depleting myself entirely to fulfill hypergamy. When I told I'm happy, he responded, "I want you fulfilled". I also stupidly let my mom pressure me into signing a very pricey lease.
