Summary: This is a post discussing if LTRs are viable in today's world and why I think the answer is kind of no.

Body: I've been here for about 3 months. That is no long stretch in time but I've absorbed a lot of stuff. I have pretty much swallowed the redpill entirely. The stoic mind set is a wonderful thing. I have but one hang up. A nagging question that all of the reading I've done here has yet to answer.

Is an LTR ever worth it. Many of you are probably like WTF that is talked about a good bit. While it is talked about its usually only in passing and not in depth. Their are guide lines to when to LTR (AKA once you are firmly alpha and cannot be shaken) and who to LTR(Red Flags).

To answer this question first (is an LTR worth it) we must look at the types of LTRs. There are many relationship dynamics but we will be discussing the two in which the male is alpha and not a beta cuck.

Type 1:Utility. This kind of relationship is one your in for convenience. The feelings aren't very intense but your too busy to spin plates at this point in your life, plus she can cooks and doesn't shit test your head off or is easy to handle in general.

Type 2: Emotional This is the relationship your in out of feelings for her (assuming not to many red flags and she's good for you in general). This is a relationship you may make slight (Emphases on slight) compromises for. She's maybe the one you'll grow old with.

Now I think Type 1 is perfectly viable. Here is why Type 2 or the forever love most guys want just wont last IMO.

The Fermi Paradox In the science community this is known as the evolutionary barrier. Basically this theory states that the reason we haven't met aliens yet even in this endless universe is because something kills them before they evolve too far. What kills them could be something random like a meteor or something of their own creation like highly advanced A.I. that gets out of control.

I believe the same thing is happening in today's society just with relationships. ALWALT. Everyone cheats, even you, in the right situation. No matter how much I loved a girl If I was offered an orgy with Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, and some Playboy bunnies you best believe I'm going for it.

The thing is, for a woman to cheat, extremes like this don't need to occur. We live in a society where chicks aren't responsible for their actions and that coupled with hypergamy is a hell of a thing.

Even if she is loyal for 4 years (and that is not that long) I bet in the right situation all bets are off. What is the right situation you ask? They are extremely mundane and very possible situations.

Situations List Chad, Vacation, Drank to much. Her perception of you changes( Her friends constantly call you loser making her feels turn sour). Extreame Boredom(She didn't deserve you any way).

There are way more than this but you get the point. Chicks don't need too much to decide to cheat on your ass. Enough shots or the right guy and the wrong place then "BAM". Sure she may feel some guilt (she may even really "love" you) during the act but the hamster is a powerful thing.

This is just a theory so my only lesson is don't get married. I'd love to hear your thoughts below.
