Why Should I settle down if there is always someone better?

Always better out there, maybe, but attainable by you?

It's not about finding the "best" girl. It's about finding the girl who compliments your life (i.e. adds happiness).

Then again, if it makes you happiest to just have multiple girlfriends, then do that.

Also, there's only so much time in a day and so much effort you can expend, and looking for better dips significantly into both.

You may want to eventually spend more time focusing on other things, goals, hobbies etc, and have someone who adds enough happiness and value to your life that there's a net loss looking for better.

Until there isn't.

Man, firstly, this is a shitty post. Ought to get deleted. But, let me answer your question.

We, red pill men, are realists. We are not looking for an unicorn, we are looking for a good horse. You might want the best horse possible, but until you have it you will have to sow by yourself and pull the carriage by yourself. Also, you are getting any younger. I am not saying that you should settle down as soon as fast as possible. But that you should keep in mind that we, as men, also have a wall to hit. Yeah, we will hit after 50, but hit it we will none the less.

Don't get me wrong. We will not become disgusting old bulls like women do, but quality women will be less inclined to marry you if you are over 50. Sure, you might have game, good value, money, be an alpha motherfucker, but there is a younger version of yourself lurking around. Women might fuck you, but they won't commit. A good provider is one who can provide in the future, not only now. And you need provider qualities for a good LTR.

That is, if you want to have a family, see your kids grow, meet your grandkids... If you want to sleep around, you can do that until your eyes go blind from viagra. Even after that.

This is actually called the marriage problem, and the solution is really simple.

Assuming that you date a lot of girls (which is always a good idea), and that you want nothing but the best, then your winning move is as follows:

Reject the first 36.8% of the girls you date however good you think they are, but in mind who you feel is the best of them (let's call her Katie).
Then, after the first 36.8%, if you meet someone who's better than Katie, then she's the one you want and settle with.

This maximizes your probability of selecting the best girl out of the potential pool of girls out there. For example, let's say that you're attractive, well-employed, have no problems getting a date. Then, if you're potentially getting 150 dates over a couple of years, you start settling after the 55th girl.

Or why settle down at all? Why is the quality of the woman your only context in the question? What have you to gain from any amount of settling down? Is your life going to get that outrageously better simply because you found the "one" that you should settle down with?

Chris Rock said it best in Bring the Pain... ~Every man has a choice to make.... commitment, or new pussy.~ He goes on to say that eventually a decision has to be made, and that it's up to the man.
