I enjoy theories as much as the next guy, but I like facts and stats. There's some common themes that TRP and the mainstream media follow (they differ obviously), so I'll let the facts speak for themselves.

Marriage

Never Get Married. Commonly preached on TRP. At best, it's the likeliest way to ensure monogamy and stability for your child. At worst, she's left with half your income and primary custody of your child. This article/study goes into good detail about the realities of marriage. The science can be found here. Here are the big takeaways:

Two-thirds of divorces are initiated by women," said William Doherty, a marriage therapist and professor of family social science at University of Minnesota, "so when you're talking about changes in divorce rates, in many ways you're talking about changes in women's expectations.

AKA Hypergamy. There's no need for her to settle with the BB for long, now that feminism has made chronic divorce and riding the CC socially acceptable. She can marry, pop out a kid before The Wall really hits, then leave with his resources and have guys have at it for whatever she has left. Back to the article:

In the United States, researchers estimate that 40%–50% of all rst marriages will end in divorce or permanent separation.56 e risk of divorce is even higher for second marriages, about 60%.

So the odds are slightly in your favor that your first marriage will work out. If you believe that it's worth spending tens of thousands of dollars on a ring, wedding, cost of living together, etc., that's your choice. I'm just presenting the realities of it.

Attraction

I think even cavemen knew that women don't even know what they want. So when Men's Health conducted a survey about what women really want, I was skeptical. However, there are some hoof fundamentals to take away. You can read the full results here. Below are what women found most physically attractive:

1. Sense of Style 2. Handsome Face 3. Height 4. Muscular Build 5. Fitness

Nothing groundbreaking here if you've read the sidebar and been here long enough. Below is some interesting commentary though.

Women rated traits relating to character and personality much higher than they scored those reflecting physical attractiveness. For example, only 13 percent of women included muscular build as a requisite for hotness, while 66 percent placed moral integrity as a "make me quiver" characteristic.

Yeah ok. If this was true then all the "nice guys" would be drowning in pussy. Again women don't really know what they want. Logically they want a nice guy who'll commit, but they get feelz for the hot guy who's less likely to commit. You guys know this firsthand.

Conclusion

I tried to keep this as brief as possible, but quite simply, TRP is right for the most part. We don't spout this for shits and giggles. Facts back up the conclusions we've come to. Take it for what it's worth.
