Yeah, we hear about not marrying because of the legal system, etc., but, some guys here still want a LTR, marriage, and kids in the long run.

One angle that is often not considered in discussion about LTR is the difficulty of maintaining your woman's attraction over the long term, even with consistent "alpha frame".

We know women have this dualistic mating strategy. One is sexual-based, and one is comfort-based. The former occurs when you illicit dopimine responses by using "alpha" traits. The latter happens when you illicit oxytocin responses, using "beta" traits (all according to my reading of MMSL). For most men interested in LTR/marriage, maintaining the beta/oxytocin qualities in an LTR is not to difficult. For all of the divorces out there, there are still plenty of "happy" long marriages out there. Probably sexless, dead-bedroom marriages, I will give you that. However, they are comfortable and "love each other". We all know what that really means.

We also know if she loses attraction for you, we know it is your fault. So in response to this awareness, you illicit the chemical responses in her (dopimine), to keep her sexually into you. So far so good.

Here's my point.

That's all fine and good in the short term beginning. Having a frame that she is attracted to. But even if you maintain that level of "alphaness", that may not be enough over long term. She may lose attraction for you ANYWAY. Thinking like a drug addict (and I may be wrong here, because I've never done drugs in my life), one hit in the beginning is euphoria. One hit 6 months later doesn't even register.

So just a thought. If you want LTR/marriage, you're probably going down a dead end regardless of TRP awareness. If you expect to be able to maintain her sexual attraction for you, even with a strong, long term consistent RP awareness and Alpha Frame, it may not be enough.

Anyone here disagree with this? I hope I am wrong.
