TL:DR -When it comes to the Matriarchy, your friends are just the closest enforcers.

Married friend of mine sends this text; "Hey iliadstangent, meet us at Bar X. Dollar shots nights."

Aight. Due to a previous event I paid for, said friend owed me drinks for the night. Always down for free booze, I stop by the bar and encounter four people at the table.

Friend & his master,err wife. Another acquaintance & his wife. And a single mom friend of the second couple.

Like a can of Sprite with wires coming out of it in an Iraqi street, this shit stinks of an ambush.

Sure enough , the women immediately try to determine A) my marital status and B) why Single Mom was coincidentally 'looking for companionship'. Friends wife leads the charge, and I literally -as they're speaking I'm drinking ,fast- turn to my friend and say "WhattheFUCK dude?! These bitches work for the FBI?".

He stands mute. The chains of Betadom are strong indeed.

It gets worse from there. The single mom goes on a diatribe about having a kid at 16 isn't nothing to judge someone for, so I should consider dating single moms.I explain that my active duty service means she doesn't get a voice in how I live my life.

Somehow we all left without being kicked out or the cops being called, but I figured I'd made enough of an ass of myself to ensure I'd never be " fixed up" again.

I thought wrong. Two weeks and two VERY explicit warnings about trying to set me up later, we go to the city zoo as a group.

Including a "single " gamer girl whose only redeeming features was a nice ass and a slim figure. The rest , as an insurance adjuster would say, was a fender bender in need of work. I avoided her and proceeded to make a total , dudebro ass of myself.

I normally don't behave that way in public, but this time I was beyond incensed at their brazen disregard for my wishes and my freedom and , well, shit has consequences.Bite the tigers tail, and get the teeth in exchange .

The unintended result- the wife of Couple 2 got the hardcore tingles from me, a fact I'd find out months later .

That's not the point though. Back to topic-the social norm of Betadom is so entrenched nowadays the notion of not being married is just Not Permitted. Those of you on the "Men's Rights" bandwagon would do well to note that the ship has already sailed. In many places it is socially unacceptable for a man of otherwise good qualities to be single.

Introducing oneself as single nowadays as a regular guy is met with scorn and derision. Doing so as a put together Alpha? Get the earplugs ready.

"Are you gay?" "oMG you haven't met the right woman, let me fix that for ya."

People will be tripping over themselves trying to get you properly locked down, and some of them will be your closest friends and family.

Newbies, be prepared for this. Tell only who you absolutely must about your Redpill path. More and more, it seems we must live like Christian wine conneseurs in Saudi Arabia.
