Romantics of the Red Pill: Billy Beta and the Disney Girl.
All my life I spent the night
With dreams of you
And the warmth I missed
And for the things I wished
They're all coming true
I've got my love to give
And a place to live
Guess I'm gonna stay
It'd be a peaceful life
With a forever wife
And a kid someday
It's earlier nights
And pillow fights
And your soft laugh
Fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
-“Disney Girls”
“Disney Girls” is a Beach Boys song written by Bruce Johnston (who fully knew what he was doing) about a man who rejects reality in favor of the nostalgia he felt towards the fantasy world of the girls in Walt Disney movies and television shows, and by others who operate the “Dream Machine.” This is the basis for “A Stop at Willoughby”, and Woody Allen’s excellent film, “Midnight in Paris” – When Inez says to Gil “You’re in love with a fantasy” she is being more truthful than she realizes.
Gentlemen, WE are the ‘Romantic Sex’. Therefore we must guard against throwing our Good Hearts after Bad Love. Imagine going up to Lovers Lane with a cute cheerleader. For the then-25 year old Marley Shelton, I’d have bought flowers and hopped in that Buick Roadmaster and driven her up to Lovers Lane. I’d have eaten the berries she’d brought with her and the apple she picked off the tree for me (no, there was no “Adam & Eve” archetype in that scene…) I’d have danced her, romanced her, and de-pantsed her.
Then I’d have plated her and three other cheerleaders.
If you scratch a cynic, you very often find a disappointed idealist, and that's a lot of TRPers. A lot of guys here actually have quite a bit of blue still in them, and they think about getting married and having a cozy little house with a patch of grass somewhere, with a picket fence around it, a tire swing and a screen door on the kitchen…an apple pie sitting on a window sill, cooling in the afternoon breeze, the kind that happens in summer, and Lemonade Commercials - or if you’re Mormon, I guess.
The difficulty with this is, you need a unicorn and:
"The unicorn is a mythical beast." -“A Unicorn in the Garden”, James Thurber
A lot of bluepill guys think that’s the end, they’re ‘over the finish line’, and they’ve “won”.
Except that’s not the case.
What happens when you get married is, you are now playing on ‘Hard Mode’ – just go ask the guys on MRP. Too many guys get married and then fall into the trap of “Gotta keep m’lady happy!” and cede all their power. Or they anesthetize themselves on sportsball and beer and they never see the divorce rape coming.
Scene from Death Row:
Guard: “What do you want for you last meal?”
Female Prisoner: “I don’t know…what do you want?”
And that’s how guys wind up getting to spend up to 40% of their gross paying their ex-wife to fuck other guys and teach their kids to hate them. All because they made a not even straight up bet that a creature that can’t decide what she wants for dinner that she would love them for the rest of their lives.
And, of course, nobody thinks it will happen to them. “Oh, but my One Special Girl is Way Specialer than that!” Riiiiiiiight. Every swinging dick thinks that. Yet statistically, more than 50% of marriages end in divorce. And it doesn’t matter what a “good girl” your wife is, what a “religious girl” your wife is, or what good “family values” your E. European or Asian “unicorn” has. Hoes gonna ho’, no matter what.
When you give One Woman the “Ring of Power” you are giving away your power as the Gatekeeper of Commitment and the woman can freely withdraw as the Gatekeeper of Sex. Even if she’s legit, you are still letting One Woman decide if you are having fucking tonight.
So whither, then our heroes? Many of you reading this will get married. Why? “Because I want haz childrens!” is the most common reason given here, although one need not get married to have kids. “I don’t want to die alone” Well, your wife could still divorce you, and you still die alone. Maybe not, of course, but I see the flaw in your plan. There are a lot of other reasons and responses, no matter. But hey, if that’s what you want, go ahead. Just go in with your eyes open. Get a pre-nup where you can, stash some cash away for a rainy day. And for your own sake watch Divorce Corp a dozen times. The Family Courts have been weaponized against you. And if you still want to get married, go punch yourself in the dick 10 times. And if you still want to get married?
Well, good luck and we’ll be here when you need us.
“Oh reality, it's not for me
And it makes me laugh
Oh, fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back…”
