I know, I know... The red pill opinion on marriage is this (taken directly from the red pill sidebar pdf):

“Marriage is no longer a gateway to female 'companionship', as we shall discuss later. For this reason, as a Futurist, I cannot recommend 'marriage', as the grotesque parody that it has become today, to any young man living in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia[I live in North America]. There are just too many things outside of his control that can catastrophically ruin his finances, emotions, and quality of life.

At a minimum, he should make sure that having children is the most important goal of his life. If not, then he has insufficient reason to enter this contract[marriage]. If this goal is affirmed, then he should conduct research by speaking to a few divorced men about the laws and mistreatment they were subjected to, and attend a few divorce court hearings at the local courthouse. After gaining this information, if he still wants to take the risk, he should only marry if he can meet the following three conditions, none of which can substitute either of the other two :

  1. The woman earns the same as, or more than, he does.

  2. He has a properly done pre-nuptial arrangement with lawyers on each side (even though a pre-nup will not affect the worst aspect of divorce law - 'child support' as a cloak for stealth alimony and possible imprisonment).

  3. He is deeply competent in the Seduction Arts (Game), and can manage his relationship with his wife effortlessly. More on this later.

There are still substantial risks, but at least they are somewhat reduced under these conditions. If marriage is a very important goal for a young man, he should seriously consider expatriation to a developing country, where he ironically may have a higher

living standard than in the US after adjusting for divorce risk.“

I have followed the sidebar advice and spoken to a divorced man (only one as I imagine they all say the same (not that I do not plan on speaking to more, continue reading please)). It was really eye-opening hearing this TRP point in person. I am planning on speaking to more divorced men (when I find another/more or have more time). The divorced man said he would not get married if he had the choice all over again (duh!). Maybe that is because he is a divorced man but he told me what TRP tells us on marriage but maybe this is simply confirmation bias. I know a bunch of happily married men (they tend to be happier in my opinion than the players I know around the later age(40+)).

One of my current Morpheus' (thank you, you really helped me out, would link him but I think that is against quarantined subs rules) on MRP said to me that “I am clueless and believe that “it’s all caviar and blue pill dreams to you.” And maybe I am clueless. But I currently truly believe that marriage is what I want, as I want the most optimal children. I really want the chance to get old with someone, I think that’s real cool. To meet one of my important goals and get the most optimal children I believe that you must have the most stable home. Truly a lot of the best people I know come from these stable white picket fence homes. Maybe I just need to finish all of the sidebar and read all of the books, and have read more for a while and it will hit me in the face. I have been here for awhile though, lurking until I realized I should be contributing to this community that has helped me out so much.

My Morpheus (thanks again) also told me:

>“You are just a giant f$&@!% who thinks he can use RP to dance like a good >little monkey and somehow counter >millions of years of programming. You aren’t even remotely close to being able to >handle being married - it’s RP on >hard mode for a reason and you can’t even play on beginner right now. 

>Almost none of us would be married if we had a choice - we found the reality of the world after we already were and >are working within the constraints of that for each of our own individual reasons.”

And maybe this is a reason that I should not be in a LTR right now. I do not care though. I have heard from many greats here on TheRedPill time and again that being truly red-pilled is knowing what you want from life. Some of you may say I am still in the anger phase but I would disagree with you completely.

Anyways to the point: Do any of my fellow Red-Pillers plan on getting married or did you get married while already Red-Pilled? 

Is your relationship monogamous?

Did/do you meet any/or all of the following 3 requirements: 

  1. The woman earns the same as, or more than, he does.

  2. He has a properly done pre-nuptial arrangement with lawyers on each side (even though a pre-nup will not affect the worst aspect of divorce law - 'child support' as a cloak for stealth alimony and possible imprisonment).

  3. He is deeply competent in the Seduction Arts (Game), and can manage his relationship with his wife effortlessly. More on this later.
