A text I wrote to my gf...

pcadrian · 2013-12-10T23:21:38+00:00

That's pretty funny dude. Let us know how she reacts.

ajswdf · 2013-12-10T22:39:21+00:00

Imagine if a blue piller saw this. They'd say you just messed up by making her angry.

Manuel_S · 2013-12-10T20:46:09+00:00

She won't get it. Place your bets now.

madamayb · 2013-12-10T21:14:20+00:00

she will say hell no that that deal is terrible for you but as soon as you make the connection with marriage. Her answer will change and all logic will fly completely out the window. As soon as something applies to women say goodbye to logic say hello to the feelings.

KoreanRedPill · 2013-12-10T22:33:06+00:00

Please post the reply, I need to know her answer! lol

GanKage · 2013-12-10T21:50:41+00:00

i just want to commend you here grand master. this is great. reading through the first bit i guess i was on auto pilot or something cuz im thinkin. "this guy is crazy even considering it." then i re-read the link.. and re-read the intro dash marks. dude i was dieing laughing because after all, some one would have to be crazy to go through with the contract!

alt30313 · 2013-12-10T20:28:06+00:00

Don't discuss it. When they bring up marriage its time to dump them if you don't reciprocate their feelings.

I just got a rambling pm from a woman that was rife with spelling and grammar errors. There is no reason for me to debate her. I laughed and moved on.

If she wants marriage and you don't laugh and move on.

LifterofThings · 2013-12-11T12:58:50+00:00

Games, games, games. I don't know why y'all put all the effort in, really.

"I won't be getting married because x, y, z."

If that's a "dealbreaker" for her, she can walk. If she continues to harass you about it, I suggest you do.

Party_Liquor · 2013-12-10T20:38:40+00:00

Hysterical. However, she won't get it. Women function on solipsism and because marriage is such a great deal for them they are incapable of understanding how it is not also a great deal for men.

Then, after you explain it to her, she will just get pissed that you mocked her and it will be all yelling, feelz, and womyn tears.

crazy_idea_express · 2013-12-11T07:33:28+00:00

Jesus christ. I leave for 12 hours and this post has 93 replies!

Her first reply:
Well if you're interested in working with them maybe you should try negotiating a better deal. What kind of perks are they offering?

My response:
Well it says something about a personal prostitute but she only works when she feels like it and every guy at the company that I've talked to says the longer you work there the more seldom she shows up to work.

Our conversation went on from there and I'm not going to post the entire back and forth. I told her I can see myself spending my life "working at the company" but the contract itself actually poisons things because it makes me feel like there is an ulterior motive. Long story short, she is aware that I do not intend to marry her (or anyone else) and is fine with that.

At no point did she take offence or get angry. She understands that the whole thing is a metaphor and is intended to be humorous. After reading the replies, it seems to me a lot of you are overly cynical, and frankly pretty sexist as well (news flash - not all women are the solipsistic idiots some of you make them out to be). It seems to me many of you simply choose bad women. Maybe look for kind, intelligent women (who have a sense of humor) instead of just trying to bag the most physically attractive woman you that will talk to you.

Anyway, I met up with her and some friends, we had some drinks, came back to my apartment, had amazing sex, she made us sandwiches, and then we played with my Arduino together.

I love this woman. :)

(blah blah blah blah oneitis blah blah blah all women ARE like that blah blah blah). This subreddit has a lot of terrific material, but a lot of you need to reign it in a bit and get some perspective.

edit: lol this post already has more downvotes than upvotes. you guys are fucking hopeless.

Mayoyayo · 2013-12-10T22:09:06+00:00

Is there such a thing as off the books marriage? and she keeps a separate address like a family member's house.

goatfishsandwich · 2013-12-10T23:15:32+00:00

That's fucking hilarious. Don't get married dude. Do you not read the shit that goes on here? If you get married lock that shit up with a pre-nuptual.

Red_Zepperin · 2013-12-11T01:21:18+00:00

This is unnecessarily antagonistic.

If someone wrote this to me I would take immense offense to being compared to something as impersonal and replaceable as a corporation. If you don't want to get married, then fine. She can't force you to against your will. But going out of your way to make this joke/point just seems childish and rude.

aviate650 · 2013-12-10T22:52:02+00:00

Holy crap please post her response, the anticipation is killing us

cooledcannon · 2013-12-11T05:55:11+00:00

I read the whole thing thinking it was real and I thought, wow, why the fuck would you do it for shares without dividends/voting rights?

Catch_N_GoCarter · 2013-12-11T07:34:30+00:00

One Word... Brilliant

Vespaman · 2013-12-11T10:04:32+00:00

How different is marriage for a man in America compared with the UK. Do we get shafted more or less?

2013-12-11T12:08:02+00:00

Man...I did not get this for the longest time. I was thinking why would anyone take this contract. And then it clicked, haha

IllimitableMan · 2013-12-11T12:10:50+00:00

Haha fucking brilliant. Good man. If a bitch is going to ultimatum your ass "put a ring on it or I walk" then next the bitch, she cannot be trusted.

einexile · 2013-12-11T13:10:59+00:00

but they don't pay dividends

Metaphor disintegrates here because babies.

Kids usually pay dividends sooner or later, if only the pleasure of having someone to share a meal with when everyone else has wandered off. Girlfriends in particular have a way of not being around for quite as long as wives, and not making as many babies. Even ex wives stick around for longer than a girlfriend ever will.

Part of the metaphor was good, but you're just not accepting that women know their company is worth more than you can possibly pay for it, plus babies. Maybe that particular woman is not worth so much to you, but she's a fair deal for someone out there.

If you don't want kids and you're cool with being one of those old guys who debates other old guys at the park, and eats alone at the diner, more power to you. I'm terrified of being that guy, but I also don't make six figures.

NitzXL · 2013-12-11T19:06:36+00:00

Deleted? Try again OP

A bit of backstory: - got a job offer from a company, been waiting for them to email me with the details of the offer - been talking about marriage with the gf (specifically, me explaining why I don't want to get married)

so I sent her this text...

[Company] sent the offer. I would be getting a $1 per year salary, they would get full use of my existing company and personal asets, and if I quit or they fire me or lay me off, I would owe them half my assets and about $200,000 per year in perpetuity. They are including some shares in the deal, but they don't pay dividends, I can never sell them, and they're non-voting shares (the management insists they are way too independent for that). Should I take it? They say if I really wanted to work with them I would accept the offer. They are pretty great, but I don't know... I kind of like things the way they are.

What's worse is they insist this contract is just a formality and all they really want is for me to hang out at the office with them, but any time I bring up my scepticism about the contract they get distant and upset...

ekjohnson9 · 2013-12-11T02:32:53+00:00

I mean, if you expect your chick to be dumb enough to take this seriously then why are you even considering marrying her?

watersign · 2013-12-11T03:15:56+00:00

the fact OP didnt respond is the answer.. HAHA

wittywittakers · 2013-12-11T03:01:05+00:00

lol no follow-up from op.

Clearly she murdered him.

2013-12-11T05:40:50+00:00

Gutsy move. I like it.

drrrrrr · 2013-12-11T06:41:04+00:00

1 of 3 responses is sure to follow:

You don't love me.

I feel sorry for you, crazy_idea_express, because marriage is about love and trust, and you are incapable of either.

Life isn't a business transaction, OP

Edit: To be completely fair though, she might understand it. My gf and I have had the "marriage" talk (which BTW if you must have, have it in person face to face, helps you keep frame and reassure her.) She has a shit ton of wealth in her family and some of it will inevitably be willed to her. And I made the point that if we divorce, under our state law if the money is passed to her while we are together, I will be enjoying 1/2 of the money her dad worked his butt off to leave for her. She understood pretty quick when it was her own nest egg. I showed her articles (rare as they may be) of scumbag male divorcees striking the lotto by divorcing rich women, and she was like "WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS POSSIBLE? OH MY GOD THAT IS SO WRONG, FUCK SOCIETY!" She still gets marriage tingles pretty frequently, but she logically at least understands not to bug me about it.

So yeah. Women will understand it if you make it purely about them. Which is not news to anyone on this sub. They cannot understand the male plight that is marriage, but if you paint a vivid picture of a hypothetical female plight, different story.

ss_camaro · 2013-12-11T07:35:23+00:00

You're not a keeper: Your big head is stronger than your small one.

Artemis_clyde_frog · 2013-12-11T12:26:02+00:00

It's quite funny how he's getting trolled to shit in the update thread. Even funnier, he rages at everyone and bites on every troll hook.

Kerguidou · 2013-12-11T14:54:26+00:00

Or, you know, you could just tell her you don't want to marry her instead of resorting to smart-ass text messages like this? If it's a deal breaker, then it's a deal breaker. I don't see where the problem is.

americnleprchaun · 2013-12-11T20:31:25+00:00

It got removed as I was reading it, can someone paraphrase?

PhantomDream09 · 2013-12-10T22:43:06+00:00

This definitely made my day. :0) Thank you for sharing, and please let us know how she responds.

Makethedrinkgosippy · 2013-12-11T04:11:54+00:00

I don't believe you sent it(please prove me wrong because this is good stuff).

moschles · 2013-12-11T05:18:11+00:00

The vast majority of redpillers problems could be solved by stop having "girlfriends" at all. Stop all dating and end all relationships. If sex is desired, it should be obtained through prostitution.

latrodectus02 · 2013-12-11T02:55:38+00:00

Hahahaha! Marriage at its best!

lol fuck me standing

jack3dasphuck · 2013-12-11T07:16:26+00:00

She won't get it but can we blame them? Men are smarter than women, it's a fact.

mine_dog_has_no_nose · 2013-12-11T10:22:59+00:00

This is so myopic and sad that you view a life with a woman this way.
