There is porn use and porn addiction, and these are two different things. The guy himself said it’s an addiction and he has professional help so I’d trust he has better insight to his own life than you/us. Just like an alcoholic may need to avoid alcohol entirely to stay sober while others can drink reasonably, the same can be said for porn use. This guy admits he can’t use in moderation.

Sure thing, and I don’t think it’s eye rolling regarding your comments. These are real considerations. People love to say leave but none of us have guarantees it’s better out there. And people do have companionate marriages that aren’t about sex. But most people don’t want that. You have to weigh the risks and what you really want. Even if he begrudgingly had a child with you… you have to have lots of well timed sex to make that happen which sounds like isn’t really happening.

How long have you been together? what do you know about sex addiction? because this does not sound like a guy who is doing well in recovery. And remember, just because they are in recovery and working on it doesn’t mean they are being successful at it. I think the reality here is that he is not capable of having a normal healthy sex life with a partner. There’s nothing you can do to change that because it’s not about how you look or what you’re doing in bed or who initiates, he is most likely in…

Bingo! It’s one thing if relationships develop organically but if a guy this age is looking so much younger on apps, he’s likely unserious. If he really wanted to get married, it would be very easy for him to find someone who same age who wanted to. And all men love novelty - it’s the trick to find the ones who decides that is worth giving up for a relationship.

👏👏👏 Love to see this! I know women your age love older, I did too at that age, but to me a 35 yo with a 25 yo isn’t ideal. You think you are on the same levels but once you are older, you’ll see this differently. If you want to go older, I’d recommend more like a 30/31 yo. While it’s easy to think oh a 35 yo is more open to marriage because he’s establishes, that man is likely picking a 25 yo because he thinks he can buy time without getting marriage pressure. Not all, but many. Just beware.

Perhaps he just cannot "attract" a submissive woman. Please consider that. It may very well be somethings he is doing is making submissive women turn the other way, I would if some guy 3 months in was talking to me about Tate or RP stuff. He probably has come across submissive women who decided he wasn't they leader the needed and moved on. So he at 26 thinks "ok if I go for a 19 yo, she will be submissive. I will just go younger." You are young, you have time to search for the right fit. And yo…

So I get this is a value of yours but you need to begin to separate work from relationships. What works great for you in your career and workplace may not always work well for you in a relationship. Work on learning how to turn it off. Stop and think "what emotion is he trying to get across to me right now? What message does he want me to take away?" rather than focusing on that he used the wrong word. You are clearly smart, you know what he is trying to say, it's just pedantic to argue that the…

How do the fights go? Can you outline the pattern? It may help me see where you misstep. My husband is an attorney and takes words SO literally. It is exhausting to experience as sometimes he's focusing on the wrong thing rather than the actual message of what I or anyone else is trying to get across. It makes our conversations SO slow because he is focused on every word and thinking through his response in detail. However he's patient and we don't explode on one another, and we are both aware o…

This is in line with what I was going to say. Some men see it as too vulnerable to do, giving away too much power. I don't think it's healthy to think like this but I would suspect this is the reason and it has nothing to do with if he finds her attractive or not.
/r/RedPillWomen28/07/26 03:26 PM

I see. I promise I am not trying to pick on you, I am more so just trying to understand. I was 21 too and out late. I too went to guys houses at all hours of the morning, and I can promise you it got me no where good. It's best to set boundaries like - real dates at reasonable hours, planned in advance. If a guy cannot meet something so simple, then he is not serious or good for you.
/r/RedPillWomen28/07/26 03:20 PM

But if you were there at 11:30, why stay until 4 am? Sorry I don’t mean to pick on this point, I’m just confused. And if there is no dates, how is he sexually pleasing you? The whole thing seems confusing.
/r/RedPillWomen28/07/26 03:45 AM

I admit I’m kind of confused what is going on here between you two. Why are you going to anyone’s house at 4am first off? I admit this whole thing sounds like 21yo behavior, which you are, but he’s not, he’s 30 so it’s kind of odd he’s engaging in this sort of thing. Do you all go on actual dates, like at normal hours?

You need to work on your anxiety and need to control. And most women do, it’s embedded in us to be like this for all the evolutionary reasons around trying to secure a partner for our security and that of our offspring, but in the modern world it’s going to cause problems in your relationship. We have tons of books and posts here you can read about how to do this, but you can’t control his hobbies. And the more you try, the more he’ll become unhappy in the relationship and see you as emotionally…

I had a list on my phone of my 5 before I met my husband. I didn't add attraction though because I took that as a "given." Mine were: Physically affectionate Passionate about career Good sense of humor Willing to make relationship commitment/marriage High sex drive If I were to do this now, my religious values would be top of the list. It wasn't a priority at the time, and we do align on this.

Yeah, I realize my advice is very much “do as I say not as I do..” but there’s a very high cost for what I did. I didn’t get married until I was 42 and I most likely will never have children given my age unless I get blessed with some miracle 40s baby. I also experienced a lot of pain along the way. And I also was not looking for financial support as I was lucky enough to have this on my own even though again, I got blessed to end up with a high earning man. This is why I definitely don’t recomm…

I think I understand and agree with the overall point you are making in the final paragraph which is that we shouldn't aim for perfection in partners and sometimes a less than ideal partner is better than none at all. As someone who lived alone and was single for many years, this was how I felt personally. I was lonely and the challenges of marriage I have found to be better than the challenges of singlehood which for me was not financial but lonlieness. However I don't think the data points you…

I don’t think it was obvious in your post. You said you were disappointed in advice that said to look for “more than money” in a man so not sure why that’s disappointing advice if you agree other things matter too.
/r/RedPillWomen22/07/26 01:16 AM

First off, not all advice here is equal. Look to the ECs and starred contributors for reliability. Second, you can choose a man based on money alone. But there is a reason most women don’t do this. If it was a successful formula, we’d all do it. But we care more about attractiveness than we’d care to admit and things like shared values, compatibility, religion, etc matter a ton. You are not the first woman to come up with this idea, but again there’s a reason it’s not the predominant model and i…

We can't know how he feels or what he thinks... But I'd take the whole "older sister" thing with a grain of salt. It doesn't mean he is or is not attracted. It could mean either, it could be a way of him flirting. Or he could legitimately not want to date someone older. We can't know.
/r/RedPillWomen21/07/26 03:27 PM

You are focusing on appearance here when men don't work like that. He's decided long ago if he finds you attractive enough to date or not. You need to focus more on your strategy here - how to go about letting him know and making sure you are in the best position for him to accept it. I think the point Ark was trying to make is - it can ruin your chances with this guy if you pursue him while you are seeing (causally or otherwise) this current guy. From a man's perspective, it will make you look …

It sounds like you don't know much about RPW and instead presume we support everything RP men do. First off, we don't brutally judge women with a past here. I have quite an extensive one myself given I didn't marry until 42 and we have had sex workers participate here as well. Of course we have the other side of the coin, the virgins and low n-counts, and we talk about the benefits of this approach for women. Second, we don't advocate for women to date RP men here.

The red pill woman philosophy would be to focus on improving yourself rather than coming up with the perfect list of what you want in somebody else. You can come up with all the lists you want, it doesn’t mean you are going to find it or protect yourself in the way you think.

Looking back, I think I became emotionally invested way too quickly. I also think telling him to stop talking to me probably made things worse, especially if he was already pulling away. You think? I don't mean to be rude but you told him to stop talking to you, and he did. Why would he do otherwise?? This shows him you are emotionally immature or unstable to play games and especially so early, after only one date. You messed up, and will mess up again on the next one if you don't find a way to …

I had a similar experience where I was in college when I was dating my ex, now I have a very successful career but he never was able to see me as the "grown up" woman I am now. He would attribute my success to him, that he "encouraged me to do better" and "I would have been a nanny forever if he hadn't pushed me." In reality, I was doing well before him, I was just still young and building things. And his influence was very little. But he attributed it all to himself. Needless to say, it didn't …

This text sounds like classical manipulation. He's already trying to get you back without actually taking full accountability for his actions by continuing to blame you. I really do feel bad for you, these sort of mind games are hard.

I don’t know that he will ever manage his anger or take responsibility for how he’s reacted to my disrespect (this topic I don’t understand but it seems like us women do have the power to shame our men easily if they love us so much, but how do HV captains deal with that maturely?).

I remember your first post and glad you followed up. I think in your case, two things can be true at once. Those two things are: 1) You were disrespectful for many years, and 2) your husband is overly controlling and unreasonable. I do not think your disrespect caused him to be how he is. His actions are insane and no one would be able to rightly deal with a life like this. On the flip side, you sound like you have some challenging medical issues with your cycle and rage problems.

I think most of the examples you shared are unreasonable. With your daughter, you maybe could have STFU and let that go, if he is going to be her parent, you have to let him parent and in his way, but much of this doesn’t sound like you disrespecting him to me. How does he lead you?

So this is why I asked for examples. Do you think your partner is a good leader? Do you think what he’s asking of you is reasonable? Because we don’t advocate just blindly following, the first step is vetting - selecting someone who is a good leader, makes good decisions, reasonable, etc. Is he that?

The pregnancy is not really as bad as his reaction to it. The reaction shows a man who is taking zero accountability. And he had sex with this person in the past three months, max. He’s not even remotely ready to get into a new relationship.

If I had a couple grand extra, it would go straight into savings unless I had a substantial amount saved up (like enough for me to independently support myself for a year if I got laid off). It cannot be overstated to make sure you have savings. But everyone has different financial goals. Regardless, I would not spend it on looks right now.

Well when you were talking about the situation, you were talking about your wants and needs - how you want to get the most out of it, etc - but what about his needs and desires? From his side, he probably feels like he’s spending over backwards to try to meet your needs to have a phone call and it’s still not good enough. We have to try to see things through another person’s perspective. You are young and it takes time to learn more about how men are. Try to read “for women only” and “empowered …

I will add to this, men don’t feel the need to talk talk talk like women do. Many of them find it exhausting. It’s also not how they bond, they bond through shared activities. So you are looking to connect through talking while that doesn’t really probably work for him and he’s just doing it to make you happy, which is why it seems an inauthentic, because it is. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you or doesn’t want to talk to you, it just means that men are wired differently.

Honestly, you need to get away from trying to control him. There’s a lot of books and materials here we recommend on doing that. You cannot control how he talks to you, when he talks to you, and what he does while he’s talking to you. I don’t even know how you would go about giving him this sort of feedback if you wanted to. I suppose you could tell him you feel like he’s preoccupied during your calls and you would rather have a 10 minute video call than a one hour voice call, but then you would…

LDRs just suck, there is no way around it. If you are looking to get married, it sounds like you have a plan to close the gap. So if that is the case, then you basically just have to endure this until you relocate closer to each other. Telling him what he needs to do differently is not going to work - he is who he is and who he is is legitimate. Having to sustain a relationship over the phone isn't natural for anyone and so it's not really a fault of him but rather of the situation. Focus on hav…

You said “I don’t want him to think I want to change him” but you do want to change him. And change is OK, we should all be willing to change and grow when we want to, but this falls into the category of respect his decisions about himself.

This is universal. This is a men thing. This is where, if you believe in RP theory, you will understand that emotionality is not a strength of men ... and come to accept it. That is a strength of us as women, and expecting men to be like women and have the same strengths as us is pointless and will only set us up to be disappointed. Men bring their own strengths, but this is not one of them. These skills are also something men learn over time with age. A guy in his 20s is going to STRUGGLE here.…

He sounds like a beta orbiter. If it was just one or two close friends, at 18, I get it but if it's him with big groups of women, it's a red flag. Most men I've seen like this are either gay and don't know it yet, have masculinity issues that make them insecure around other men so they hang out with women, are otherwise very feminine, or are orbiting women to hope to get one but they have to play the friend card because essentially all these women have friendzoned him.

So where is the relationship at now? Does he want to move forward? Or he isn't sure? What about you? My thoughts are: 1) This is why quicker marriages are ideal IMO. I understand given how young you both were, it may have been too young, but it's common for people who date for a long time to start to get annoyed and pick apart their partner. It's not nice, but it's life. The love and infatuation is strong in the first couple of years, and that's why I personally believe people should be marrying…

It has been one date - if this was a theme you’ve seen across three or more dates, then you can consider it a trend but right now it’s been one date so you really don’t know what’s going on and you are jumping to conclusions.

You don’t need to leave him on read, but you don’t need to end things with him or constantly text him either.

This is true, there are so many posts where they are just seeking validation or permission to leave and it is so obvious! But there are others like this one where truthfully no one knows what is going on because it is so new and there isn't enough info, and an anxious women can't be patient so tries to figure it out when really there is no answer but to give it time and make the right moves.

How long ago was your first date? It's best to let him ask you out and not to ask. You have to work on being more chill and patient. I know it's so hard but this is how you play the game so to speak. Right now, if you are asking him if he lost interest and are asking him out, you are pursuing him and you want it to be the other way around.

I think the very large majority of women are not going to be able to relate to your situation so you might be better getting advice from other caregivers. Our primary premise here is men as leaders, and while I suppose he can be a leader mentally still, the fact that you need to do so much for him is going to change your dynamic and put you in more of the leadership role, even if you don’t want to be. I still think there’s things you can take from this sub, like respect, but some of the other gu…

Thanks for the write-up and I fully agree here. Uses (hopefully sparingly) is different than addicted. But never uses is a tough ask I think.

I read a case on Reddit the other day of two virgins who got married but the man was into porn and he’s totally disappointed by actual sex, he says it’s not what he expected and he doesn’t even want to do i…

Ok fair, if you search for nun mode, we have tons of materials on this. https://www.reddit.com/r/RedPillWomen/s/975AsPZ4UB Personally I think it should be used sparingly for serious cases only and most women we see here have the opposite problem of hiding away from dating or expecting the dream man to magically come to her.

My take is that while female hypergamy is very active and discriminatory in the beginning of a relationship, many women will get past this once they make a commitment and fall in love with the guy. But I think very often, men’s attraction works the opposite way, where they are crazy attracted to the woman in the beginning and then their interest declines over time. This is not always or even often because the woman is doing anything different, it’s largely an evolutionary drive for variety. That…

Is he like this only when you talk about the future or about every topic? How long have you been together?

People can like whatever they like, dating younger isn’t the disaster people make it out to be and dating older isn’t the magic answer people think it is.

This is exactly it! OP made the wrong moves here. She should have absolutely not even picked up the phone or texted him back.

If the rest of the relationship is ok then I would say this seems like a normal change out of the honeymoon stage, especially if you are living together and sex is still happening regularly.

So what does he have to say about the affair? Because this is most likely not the first time he’s done this, it’s just the one you found out about. What actionable steps has he taken to actually improve himself so this doesn’t happen again? Edit: I just realized you haven’t actually told him yet? What exactly are you waiting on? No one should be a doormat; being a doormat results in you being treated like a doormat. Will you be OK if he gets another woman pregnant? This is only going to escalate…

It may be that he’s freaking out things are getting more serious. If you improve and his commitment doesn’t then you will have you answer that it wasn’t about the nagging after all but fear of commitment. But all you can do is control what you can in yourself.

This may hurt to hear but he did not “make you go through this,” this sounds like it was the natural result of years of nagging. This is why you have to take accountability for the consequences of your actions. So you need to start talking to yourself differently and not make yourself the victim. Could he have maybe done things differently? Sure, we always could, but if he had, he probably would have just broken up with you and went no contact and you wouldn’t even be back together.

From a man's POV, many would argue that sexual access is a form of leverage, and that the more sexual access a man receives without commitment, the less incentive he has to commit afterward. I'm worried that I may have gave up my bargaining power a bit early. This isn't a situation like if you waited on sex, he may have committed to you. This is guy who is young, relocating, and doesn't want a relationship right now. That is all. There is not a way to win them all over, either by withholding sex…

This is a bad tactic. To men, it’s reads “I’m ok if you date/fuck me occasionally. I require nothing of you. Because I don’t believe I’m worth it.” Men want to work to earn a woman. Working to earn something means it’s hard to get = high quality. Something they have to give little effort for is easy to get, anyone can = low quality.

But then men you are dating 15 years older are ending up being just this. So... you have proven to yourself your bias is just that.

The problem is that there are plenty of men who don’t want sex with their partners, they prefer porn or infidelity. We see SO many women wanting more or better sex than they are getting.

There is no real easy answer, you fake it when you don’t feel like it and it does take a lot of effort (at least for you that is the case and many other others). You can find someone who doesn’t want to talk a lot, that’s one option. Or maybe you find someone who prefers to do more activities together rather than talking dates.

You can’t worry about things that might happen. Don’t lie to him about your past but you also don’t need to dump your history on him. Trust yourself that should this topic come up, you can calmly explain yourself to him at that time. We can’t control everything about how life unfolds and worrying about something you can’t control is just causing you more pain.

I see! These are pretty normal things to have to figure out when you are young. But it’s not easy, it takes a lot of work. Different things work for different people - therapy, religion, 12 step groups, fitness classes, self help books, medical care, etc. You have to figure out first what is the root of causing you to not be able to control your urges. Is it addiction, coping mechanisms you learned as a child, some medical thing, etc?

I’m not sure of your size but if you are larger, losing weight helps a lot with this. It’s very difficult to be feminine and delicate when carrying extra weight. Otherwise, things like dance classes/ballet and yoga may help. Also wearing heels forces you to walk more feminine. I personally don’t wear them anymore but did in my younger years and that’s how I learned to move.

For me, if this is someone I met online then I would allow about a week for back-and-forth texting. Even I found to be long though and most guys would ask about a date in the first 3-4 days. If he wasn’t asking after a week, I would end things. If this is after we have already gone out on a date, and he continues to text without planning next dates, again in the beginning stages I would give it a week in between.

I'm seeing this trend in the comments that women in relationships are saying they were happy single... yet they weren't SO happy as they still entered into relationships.

This is really true. I have leaned into my faith over the past year and am seeing how appalled so many people are when religion is even mentioned in any way as a guiding force in life.

There is actual RP for men and then there are all the influencers who high-jacked it like Tate to turn it into this manipulation, pick-up artist, women hating thing. The actual RP focused around improving oneself overall, your confidence, leading a full life, letting go of codependency, and being more realistic about women, relationships, and life overall ARE good messages. It's too bad the influencers really ruined it because that message is one many men need.

I kind of disagree, I don't think just because someone decides to not have children, it means they are happier alone. I almost wonder if it is the opposite, if women without children put more emphasis on their partner to fill those needs. I say that as a newly married woman without children. I had an ex once tell me "if we had kids, you wouldn't care so much about me, you'd be obsessed with the kids and not worried about what I do so much" and I wonder if that is true.

Life was very peaceful. But it also had loneliness underneath all of that peace. This was exactly my experience. I agree it was more peaceful than married life, but the loneliness was hard.

It sucks. In my experience, they give it their all the first 3-4 times and then become selfish. Their all = passionate making out, clitorial pleasure, oral pleasure to me, finger banging, dirty talking, multiple positions, and overall kink/dominance (which is my thing). Becoming selfish = no touching my genitals and just wanting hand job, blow job, and PIV (some even don’t want to do the work to get on top and make me do even that), no dirty talk, no kink.

Ok real talk, what you think men are like "in the world" is extremely rare. I am referring to these statements:" "...but a man even more structured than me, that is what I find attractive." "I think what I need is having examples that I can admire in order to know that what I want exists in the world and there is plenty of it. And also knowing that there are men who if they knew my real thoughts, like the ones that i have shared he would admire me or see me as perfection. That would make my husb…

The majority of people right now are doing this performative masculinity or femininity which is essentially just cosplaying. Women who think all they need to do to be feminine is to act like a trad wife and bake all day while they let their man walk all over them and men who think acting like a Chad proves masculinity. It’s embarrassing. And it’s because no one wants to do the actual hard work of legitimately improving themselves which takes time and more effort than putting on this costume.

You are asking the wrong question. It’s not about “am I petty,” it’s about if you want to be in this relationship. If yes, and you don’t want to get married, then he can accept it or leave.

So first mistake is going to his home on the first date. Do not ever do this, in any scenario.

This is one of those things that you have to vet for if it's important to you in the beginning.

It’s not just a moral reason I did the above, but more for my own emotional health. Juggling many guys is hard and can cause confusion and prevent you from bonding with anyone. It makes you think you have unlimited choices. I like my approach as it’s a nice balance.

My rule when dating was - I only sleep with one person at once. So even if we didn’t have “the talk” yet, if I decided I would sleep with him, then it didn’t feel right or healthy for me to date other men (not fair to them, not emotionally healthy for me). If there was no sexual interactions or exclusivity yet, then I would date other people (again, just dates). But again once sex came into the picture, I’d focus on that guy only.

Yeah this is a reasonable idea and is what he wants honestly. He wants me to have a “neutral or positive” reaction to his comments. He wants me to be non-emotional.

I have asked that and he feels that is restricting him and "we can't talk about anything." I think it's a power and control thing - he simply doesn't like being told no and he wants me to be like him. I said "what should I do then when these topics upset me?" and he says that I need to learn to not get upset by them. I told him I can't change my feelings, I feel how I feel, and he wants me to feel nothing. Again, I feel like it's a control thing somehow.

Humans are flawed. We just are, and we all are. Age is realizing that, accepting it, having realistic expectations of others and not expecting to gain happiness through anyone else, even your husband. Once you get here, every relationship you have improves. People will hurt us, even the ones who love us most, and we will hurt them. This isn’t a negative view, it’s life. But people also bring joy so we forgive and accept and invest in ourselves and, if you believe in it, a higher good/power.

There is unfortunately no trick to tell right off the bat if he’s a fit. Of course he can do things right off the bat that exclude him (red flags) but if there’s potential, the only way to know is to give it time.

Yes, this is not their strong suit either. This is a skill women are talented at, not men, so we can't expect it from them. Now I don't want some women to take this to mean "I'm dating a guy and he won't define the relationship, I guess he's just incapable." No, that is not what I mean. They can do that. What I mean is a situation like "You are feeling sad, you complain to him, and you want him to act in a way like a woman would where he listens to you vent forever, tells you you are so right an…

This is such an important call out. I’ve learned recently how important it is for us to all be responsible for our own happiness/moods. Also, what we often want to do to “fix” it often doesn’t and can even end up making things worse. I’m guilty of the constant “are you ok?” checking in with my partner which drives him crazy.

So it sounds like you just want to know in general where this relationship is going which is fair. I would agree that you should really decouple that from the planning dates topic as one really has nothing to do with the other. Have you two talked about where this is headed? Do you both want to be married? Has he asked you what you want and have you asked him what you want? A year is quite a way down the road to be in for this to not have come up at all yet.

If we are talking beyond vetting and after marriage, the idea of giving up control is life changing. So many women think they can control their man into what they want by nagging, guilting, tracking him, or whatever methods. This always backfires as men need freedom like air.

I read somewhere that divorced women 2 years out from a divorce are not happier than women who stayed in the marriage and that stuck with me. There can be an initial happiness rush upon leaving because it feels like freedom and empowerment but years down the line, it’s not this wonderful thing people make it out to be. Unless there is abuse or something extreme, leaving is not a magic cure all, you just have a new set of problems.

It’s fine to have this goal but I hope you realize the reality is not likely what you are envisioning. The unspoken piece of this is that usually women expect to have a fulfilling love as part of it.

It’s good to be cautious. Casual dating and such harms women, period. But having such high expectations is likely to leave you single and lonely. Life isn’t a movie and to find that love, you have to go on dates, you have to be vulnerable. This love of your life isn’t just going to show up at your door someday. Also when you do find that guy, he IS going to have flaws. Your high expectations may leave you disappointed.

Honestly, this whole thing is weird to me. I never expected any financial exchange until marriage. In fact that’s a big part of getting married to begin with.

The downvotes may be because no one asked about only single men in their 40s, the question was about men in their 40s in general. Many are married with families. If the context is dating, then yeah many 40s men you will come across seem nuts... but that's not because most men in this age group are nuts, that's just because dating is wild and people act crazy online/in dating scenarios. This is true of men in their 20s, 30s, and I'd bet 50s and 60s as well.

I believe there is truly no one size fits all, or even trends here. When I was younger, I had hopes that men would mature and grow into their 40s, grow up so to speak, but when I look at the men I've known (e.g. exs), that really didn't happen. Mostly they doubled down on who they were and their bad habits even more so into the 40s.

I agree with that. It doesn’t make someone an addict for requiring a certain kink, but then they should select a partner who shares that kink and not try to expect that from someone who does not.

The answer to issues like this is always self-care. I know that probably feels like just another thing to do on your list, but it’s going to be important because you should be focusing on your happiness first. You cannot make your husband happy if you are not happy. I can’t say what this looks like for you because it’s different for everyone but you need to figure out how to make yourself happy. You need to figure out how to not take on the weight of the world’s problems. Again, I can’t quite te…

Got it! Yes that makes sense, and not all men who want to be leaders are created equal in terms of what they are looking for. First, I would say you'll want to vet for a guy who is more liberal and open minded in general. A conservative guy is probably not the best fit for you and will be less accepting of your past dating history. I would tell them when it comes up naturally in conversation, not too early and not too late. In the first handful of dates I find people tend to touch lightly on dat…

They may date you but in my experience, men who are religious get more religious with age which makes sense given mortality and thinking about the afterlife. So you could find a younger man who is ok with you not being religious changes his mind as he ages and/or pressures you to take on his religion.

I don’t want to be negative but it’s highly unlikely to find a non-religious man who will do this. Men are going to want to see if there’s sexual compatibility there before they make such a serious commitment. Furthermore, a non-religious man who is willing to make a commitment like this to me as a red flag. They very often have sexual issues which is why they’re willing to make this agreement in the first place - things like being asexual, being homosexual, having erectile dysfunction, porn add…

He’s venting, that’s what RP men do over there. It’s not intended for you to read so don’t. It’s just that, an angry vent of things he can’t say anywhere else to get off just chest. And it’s likely not representative of his overall feelings anyhow.

Yeah, expecting someone 6 foot at 5’3” is just completely laughable. Some of my worst dating stories were of guys over 6 foot. This is something that completely doesn’t matter in a relationship over time. I guess that it impacts initial attraction, but that goes away so fast.

So … you are assuming some random guy you don’t know yet will what, only date 21 year olds? Even if he’s 30? Or 35? Men are not this simple. They don’t look for youth only and not care about anything else. They want lots of different things. Obsessing about age as if it’s the only factor in life is not good.

Reading nothing else, look again at this statement. "If I was younger like 25 I think I’d leave in a heartbeat. But I have very low hopes for dating at my now age (28) and feel like I have no time anyways." If you would have left at 25, leave at 28. This is a 3 years difference, I know it seems like a lot to you now but in the grand scheme of life it is not. You'll feel worse at 35, at 40, and so on. But are you being honest with yourself that you would have really left at 25??

Finding the right guy is HARD. It takes way more effort and emotional maturity to stay calm than to result to abusive tactics and frankly many men in their 20s just don’t have the self control yet. It sounds like you’ve had successful peaceful relationships so figure out what worked there and try to recreate it. I do bet there is room for you to improve though. Figure out when to STFU, how to deescalate. This doesn’t mean allowing abusive behavior but it does mean picking your battles, letting s…

I agree! I would also add, they should be discussed naturally in a relationship and not called "RP values." In other words, if a guy said to me anything with the words "red pill," it would be a red flag. He should be able to talk about our relationship and our goals as two adults, not with some weird label on it. Labeling it tells me he's online too much and can't articulate himself in the real world and is a total turn off.

Hi there, I married quickly (though at more than double your age!) so here is my advice: Your goal to "remove any question from him" is not something realistic or that you should focus on. We have to stay in our lanes and focus on ourselves; you can't control how he feels. You can control how you act, but he may still feel some way at times and as long as you have done your best, it's normal for him to have some off moments. He's human. So what CAN you do?

This is what we call "shit tests" in RP terminology and it's bad advice. There is no reason to set a man up for failure. Men are not bad for wanting sex and putting them through these shit tests are only bound to frustrate them and backfire on you. Best to avoid such a conflict to begin with.

I think you should have some ideas about these things going into date. Generally sleeping over somewhere means you are open to sex so I wouldn't stay over unless you want to be sexual with him. Rejecting him is going to do more damage than just not staying the night at all.

Men don't do well with hints. It is best to be direct. There are lots of ways you can say it without sounding too demanding and if you are online dating, it should for sure be on your profile.

I think you shouldn’t expect a guy at this age to change. Change is possible when someone wants it but he’s not going to change just because he gets married and has children. This is something many men tell themselves when they aren’t serious about actually making a change - change comes from within, not because of our external circumstances. Also, he’s 44, if he wants kids, shouldn’t he be doing that like today? Sperm declines with age too. How long have you been dating?

I think you are way overthinking this all. It is good to be strategic but you also need to be agile and flexible. Relationships change a lot after the first few months - you go from honeymoon courting to longer-term companionship. A boyfriend of 2 years for example isn't going to send flowers constantly, these things are bound to change and it's normal. The mistakes I see you making are: Jumping to cutting things off. This is likely to have created long-term damage in his mind. Loyalty is KEY to…

The most simple answer is to improve yourself for yourself, not for a man. Yes there may be improvements you are making because it will be beneficial to your relationship, but it will also probably be beneficial to many other areas of your life as well. If you are religious, you can also intend to make these changes for God which gives you a bigger purpose.

I was a nanny for 4 years (starting shifts in the early hours in the morning) to several wealthy families and now have a career. While I know being a nanny has FAR less demands than a stay home mom (who is 24/7 on, dealing with her children overnight, trying to meet the needs of her husband, etc), here’s my take on these paths from semi-living them: Being a mom is physically demanding in a way I don’t think a lot of people understand.

I mean, this is really in the eye of the male beholder. I have been with men who prefer that I’m more thick with curves and I’ve been with men who prefer a more athletic figure.

You can take an Uber, you can order in, and no man has ever asked my credit score. Time to take the red pill and realize you are avoiding dating for other reasons than these very easily solvable ones. You have to get out there, you have to take risks, and you have to be willing to experience some heartbreak (many times a lot of it) to find happiness. The saying about kissing many frogs to find a prince is very true.

Men say lots of things they don’t mean, you have to look at their actions not their words. He’s either lying to you to string you along or really thinks he wants that if he meets “the perfect woman,” which of course doesn’t exist so he will in reality remain single forever because no woman will ever measure up. In either case, it’s not about anything you can do to change things.

Yeah. a common example we see here is the guy wants sex and so the woman thinks that’s all he wants and therefore counts him out. When the reality is that all men want sex and this doesn’t mean they don’t want a relationship necessarily. This can be such a common misunderstanding about what’s normal for men versus what women might think. And there’s a very good reason for women to be suspicious of course.

I agree with this response most of all. There are legitimate religious reasons that people abstain from sex, and I will also point out that this religion could be other than Christianity, but in many cases it is the man covering up for something like being homosexual or asexual.

I think this is why he unmatched. He took a risk trying to make it sexual, you weren’t into it, you acknowledged you weren’t into it by thanking him for his apology and “emotional intelligence,” and then you never messaged him again. He either was embarrassed or presumed his error made you uninterested. In this situation since there was a conflict, if you were interested in continuing with him you could have followed up the next day to say hi and ease the tension.
/r/RedPillWomen16/12/25 05:42 PM

OK, this is not about initiating then, this is about an actual conflict that the two of you had. That is very different. What was the comment he said that offended you? It sounds like he just got embarrassed and men in an embarrassing situation will very often run from it. Depending on what he said, you potentially could’ve handled that much differently.

I think this is a great book, but just want to clarify this is not something you should read with your husband, it’s something you should read alone. If you read this with your partner and then implement the tactics, they are going to know exactly what you’re doing which defeats the purpose.

The majority of the books we have listed on the wiki are intended to be read by you as a woman only, it’s best not to even tell your man you’re reading them.

Men usually want to focus on solving problems. They can get frustrated if they are just constantly bombarded with feelings that they can’t do anything about.

You are pushing something on him that he doesn’t want to do after only five months of dating. This almost never works.

There will always be single men in your age range no matter the age you are in. Just keep that in mind. I absolutely think it’s best to marry young and grow with a partner. I just think these are the most successful marriages. But that doesn’t mean that if you don’t get married young, you never will, it just takes a little more effort and patience. Do what you can to find your partner to the best of your ability and leave the rest to God or fate or whatever you believe in.

I feel like we need more context here. How often are you interacting with his family or how often is he interacting with the family? This is going to be very different for example with a south Asian couple who lives with the family versus a more standard western couple that could live across the country from their parents and speak once a week or less.

Pursue a man = show interest appropriately, seek out what you are looking for in a relationship, accept rejection gracefully moving on, keeping your boundaries in tact Chase a man = aggressively pursue someone, drop all your boundaries, don't vet, don't accept rejection and keep pushing the man, becoming obsessive Can you see how these are VERY different?

For me it isn't a struggle but maybe this a cultural thing? I chose a professional white collar man, not a blue collar one so I don't expect him to do blue collar things. He is willing to pay for it so I will let him OR do it myself if it's something I want to and can do. But I'm pretty independent and often enjoy doing that kind of stuff so it doesn't bother me.

Everyone is blasting this idea but I actually think it has relevance and I want to say I really appreciate the fresh idea! We don’t seem to get as many controversial ideas as we used to. I actually do agree that “higher quality” young men are playing around not out of immaturity but because they know they can and then settle down as they get older when they are done playing and want stability with a younger woman who they know will be attracted to them for longer. This actually makes sense to me…

I see. As a recommendation, saying you are looking for a relationship doesn’t mean you are saying you are going to get into a relationship with any man who messages you! It just means just that that you want a relationship in your life, that it is your goal. Of course it goes without saying that you need to date a man first to decide if he is someone you want a relationship with, and they understand that. I get being burned out on dating apps, so when that happens just take a break and pause you…

Yes, but an ultimatum is not going to change that, it’s going to make things worse, it’s likely to make him double down on his position.

Balance is always the answer. I just got married for the first time at 42 and I did have a condo that I bought on my own that I finally sold. There’s no reason to throw money away, just make smart investments that are easy to get out of if you need to; people sell homes all the time. A guy doesn’t want a woman who seems like she’s 100% focused on finding a husband, he wants a woman who has a full life but room for him in it.

I love this! I also think when you are looking for a partner it’s very similar to looking for a house - everybody wants the best house at a decent price.

The house that has some weird quirk to it that nobody wants is for sure available at a discount. That’s why you either need to be able to afford the really nice house or find some house with a quirk/flaw that you ca…

This was in line with what I was going to say. "Never proactively brings up marriage questions to you." If a man isn't proactively asking you about marriage, he isn't serious about you. It is not enough if you ask him questions about marriage and he responds positively or affirmatively, he should be bringing these types of things up on his own on a regular basis.

I’ll offer a correction: red pill is not a lifestyle so yes, you can implement red pill tactics/advice/theory in your relationship if you are 50-50. I think what you meant to say is it is not traditional, which is something different (not all red pill is trad) and which I agree with.

How much have you actually dated, like put yourself out there for example on online dating and gone on dates?

I think this depends on what you mean by "red pill" and how you are defining that. If you mean it as having a stay at home submissive wife, then I agree, higher achieving men often but not always want higher achieving wives. But if by "red pill" you mean the man wants a woman who is submissive in the relationship and lets him lead, then I think those men DO still want that. The issue here is how you seem to be defining what "red pill" is. So I am honestly asking what you think it means? I know m…

He is a man, men want intimacy. Just because they are pushing it does not mean they don't also want a relationship. We need to stop demonizing men for wanting sex, it's natural for them and doesn't necessarily mean it's the only thing they want. It also doesn't mean she needs to give in, she is welcome to hold to her standards to wait, but the result is what we see now where she loses the man. I don't think he just wants sex or he wouldn't go through all the back and forth with her over the many…

So why was there just not an exclusivity talk so you can both be committed and physically intimate? I am not really understanding the reasons for the back and forth between you two. It looks like some sort of power struggle. What he did was not cheating. He is pursuing you but he hasn't made a commitment and from his perspective, you appear very wishy washy. You slept with him, then pulled it back, then tried to date for only 10 days then it failed for whatever reason. Now you've been cold, he c…

This is a really good point. I don't think he really agreed to it. She told him she wants him to do this and he clearly doesn't want to. I think he's young, he's 21, and he wants to make her happy. She can help him help her but being more clear about her desires. Decision making is a burden and when it's about small matters, she could do the relationship a favor by making a few small calls every now and then.

You moved too fast. You shouldn’t have an 8 hour first date over a bottle of wine and invite someone home with you. I’ve been there and done this so I can confidently say it’s a bad idea. It’s an incredible high and feels awesome but it’s bad strategy.

I agree that 1 year seems much more reasonable to me than 6 months. You've experienced each season together, every holiday - after that, you are just repeating the same stuff over and over again! However I do think we should have more than just marriage as a *possibility* at one year in. I'd say engagement is reasonable at 1 year.

How do you know on a first date his salary and how does he know about your sexual partners? This is so very awkward in my opinion to know either of these pieces of information so fast.

It sounds like you need to talk to them much longer and give them the chance to actually ask you out. In my experience, most of the time this takes four days to a week to happen.

I met my fiance on dating apps and many women here advocate for them as well. How long are you talking before you bring up the meeting up thing? Personally I never would ask out a guy or hint at it. Men are opportunists, they will take a date when it's offered to them, even if they aren't that into you. By waiting for the man to ask you out, it shows they have the masculine traits of courage, planning, and executing and demonstrates they are invested in you enough to actually ask you out. I don'…

Most likely he was hoping to get laid and future faking with you in order to make that happen. After two dates he realized you were not going to be easy and moved on.

Usually I would also think a phone criticism was also a bid for time but it’s definitely not that because I would prefer to engage with him but he wants time to read his book before bed so I was basically just giving myself something to do while he was distracted.

Thanks for the advice. You hit the nail on the head that it's an insecurity for him, to be seen as smart, so he puts that on me.

His response hasn't been much. He has said both partners should do what they can to please each other and so when he sees something, he is going to speak up. He says if I want something, I should tell him and he will do his best to do it, so he wants me to do the same. But the thing is, I wouldn't ever criticize him like that, I would only bring up something urgent. He is not like that.

We've talked about it in depth, how I feel like when he has a desire, I do my best to meet it, then another one comes up.

The hard thing is, he is aware of this. He told me when we met how he USED TO be like this but he's worked hard, now knows what matters in life, etc. That is what made me fall for him. So it feels like old habits are coming back, which impacted his previous relationship and honestly scares me.

What kinds of physical affection are you open to and when? You don’t have to have sex but men really need some sort of physical loving even in the early stages.

Both of my brothers married their high school sweethearts. I believe this is a path that absolutely works for many people, at least the people I g…

Ok yes, so she can walk away and find this man. Dating takes a lot of time and looking, it doesn't happen overnight. So she is 29 and sounds like she wants to be married. So she can dump this good guy other than this one minor flaw, and go back on the dating market to go on many bad dates, get dic picks, get stood up, get groped, all while getting older and slowly having fewer options as the good men get married off. All to vet for a guy that will give more gifts. She is welcome to do that. I wi…

I don't think it's as simple as boiling down to those two categories but I think those two are the most common. I think that many women are looking for a secular man who will lead and so there is a lot of competition for those men who are more rare to find. These are the men we see in pop culture as hyper masculine, wealthy, yet calm and composed. They are going to have their pick of women. OP said in another comment she has met a lot of toxic men.

This is sort of my thinking as well. She wants only white collar men, smart men, she wants only white men I presume (by saying no non-western), she wants him to pay, she doesn’t want him to be religious, but wants him to take charge. My feeling is this type of guy is going to be the same type of guy that most women want and she’s going to have a lot of competition. And there’s truly no easy answer for these type of situations.

Oh absolutely, my one side of grandparents also were the same, he had his shed outside where he would spend all of his time!

It depends on the man and the religion. I’ve dated Christian, Muslim, and Hindu men who were religious. Some wanted me to convert, others did not. None of them asked me to go to church/mosque/temple with them however. Worshiping is often a pretty independent activity, maybe not so much in Christianity but definitely in the others, it’s not the type of thing you would take your girlfriend to anyway. Obviously converting is going to be the easiest/least challenging path if you want a marriage but …

Most of those relationships in the 50s that we saw were religious based but I also think it is somewhat a fantasy to say the men were respectful toward the women because that was definitely not always the case. When I think about my two sets of grandparents who were in these relationships, one grandpa was pretty respectful, but the other was not. If you are looking for a leader who’s not religious, he is more likely to be a BDSM type of Dom and in my experience many of those guys are looking for…

You keep saying “I just assumed….” You’ve said that several times. That is called a covert contact and it’s horrible for relationships.

You basically answered your own question at the end, he’s not that way and he’s told you he’s not that way.

I will give my personal opinion - you’ve been together for over two years, and he says he wants time to “be sure” of his wife. The brutal truth is it sounds like he’s not sure either that he wants to be married or that he wants to be married to you and he wants a lot more time. After two years, a 28-year-old man should know if this person is going to be his wife or not enough to at least propose.

So I don't really understand these convos. Is this the first time they contact you? If so, do not be asking them out. That is way too aggressive. The man is going to think you ask every man out right away and therefore they are not special, and they are kind of right. Men want to earn you. Engage in meaningful conversation with them. Ask them questions about themselves. Create a connection UNTIL they ask you out properly. And if they don't, then they are not the type you are looking for. And you…

So what stood out to me is that you said you don’t get asked out often on the apps, it’s just endless conversation. So how are these conversations going once you match? What sort of things are you talking about? Are you funny and are you flirting? Granted, I’m in a different country and in a different age bracket but I didn’t have a problem getting out on dates after matching. So I’m trying to understand a little bit more about how those conversations go so you can convert matches into dates.

I’m sorry, but you are making so many generalizations here. Is this based on your own personal experience or something? If you ask many men what the problems were with their past relationships, they are unlikely to say that the woman was too rational and hid her emotions. In fact quite the opposite, they’re likely to say the woman was too emotional, too demanding, the “crazy ex.” Now every woman is different and yes some of us may suppress our needs for others, but similarly some may freak out a…

I have a problem with being controlling (I’ve improved a lot) and this is absolutely what it is for me, it’s about feeling secure. It’s about me feeling like if I can just get ahead of an issue, I can solve it or control it and make sure no problems arise. To my partner, he calls it “my anxiety.” It truly places the burden back on the man to offer constant reassurance and I can see how exhausting that gets.

Personally I think 3 months is too long to fell SO unsure. Yes we always have SOME doubts but at 3 months, you should feel excited about him, wanting to see him again, and have a solid crush going. You can have doubts, but those doubts should be overcome by how much you are into him. I don't hear you saying you feel that way about him. Based on your comments below, it sounds like you feel uneasy and I think you should be beyond that phase by 3 months.

You can absolutely go to someone’s house and have a home date without having sex?! I actually really like home dates, it teaches you a lot about the person how they keep their home and how you both interact in that setting, which is in reality what most of marriage is like. Only you know what the right thing for you to do is here. You don’t say your age but I do think that makes a difference here too. In short, I don’t think a third date is too fast for a home date.

Oh sure yeah he’s a 23-year-old guy fully thinking with his hormones. But after three years, I think these two need to really decide what they want to do with the relationship.

These early relationship conflicts test the relationship. You either get through it together or you don’t, and in this case for whatever reason he decided to not move forward.

I think we need more details on your relationship. Is this the 32-year-old and you are 22? How long have you been dating? I went to look for the dating advice post and it’s gone but I saw another deleted one where it seems like you were jealous about him attending a music festival that he invited you to that you declined. So based on all of these factors, I guess I’m asking if you have some basis to be jealous or if you are indeed looking for problems or being overly controlling? While I am a su…

He’s being serious, this is who he is, and he’s telling you upfront. I’m not sure why you’re not listening to him.

So I struggle with defensiveness, negativity, and patience. And I will always be working to improve in these areas. So start by taking baby steps. One of the first steps that helps me is apologizing when I do one of these things. It is my natural response to be defensive, negative, or lash out. As much as I try to control it, sometimes I just can’t and it takes time for me to reflect and realize how I behaved wasn’t right. So a good first baby step is to suck it up and apologize later. That take…

Based on your words, it sounds like you are seeking some spirituality or religion in your life. While it’s not for everybody, there’s a reason the 12 step groups start with a belief in a higher power, because it’s a very helpful thing when trying to make a major difficult change. Just something to consider. After that, I would remind you that diet is about 90% of weight loss. I feel like lots of people tell themselves they don’t want to work out so they can’t lose weight and that’s really not tr…

So if this is the case, I would not recommend dating anybody where there are obvious deal breakers that could prevent a marriage. But it’s good to be flexible in terms of minor things. But once you know, they’re not a fit, cut it off and move along. Don’t just keep seeing them for experience or entertainment because you risk exactly what happened before.

First off, let me say empathetically I’m sorry you’re suffering, it sucks. Second though, this is a tale as old as time. By that I mean it’s a mistake so many women make and it’s exactly why women should not have casual sex. It damages us long-term. This is one of those situations though where I think until you fall for someone else, you’re going to be stuck on him. I wouldn’t say that if it was a month or two out, but if it’s been a year, you are obsessing, and it’s not healthy. Have you tried …

Forget all the other responses and go straight to the source on our wiki page: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedPillWomen/wiki/index/. Regarding religion, some RPW are religious and others are not. RPW is amoral overall. However much of our advice aligns with how many religions outline gender roles (man as leader) so we do get a lot of religious people here.

Yeah, most men don’t understand what it takes to raise kids and how demanding it is. They don’t get that you have to watch them and be on your feet carrying for them 24/7 in the young years, you aren’t at home watching TV and doing your own thing.

Then you are attracted to him enough in my opinion to make this work. It’s OK for people to be different and no, no woman is going to think her man is 100% perfect. I would focus on being grateful for the good things he is and ignoring his quirks if they’re not affecting your sexual desire for him.

Exactly, it takes practice and openness, most of all. So many women will not even talk to a guy in a bar unless she thinks he’s a 10 out of 10 like you say. ladies need to talk to the fives, even if they aren’t interested initially. Sometimes you will really be surprised at how much a personality can win somebody over.

One challenge is that there are RPW but there aren’t as many YOUNG RPW. At 35 or so, many of us begin to get it. It clicks. We see the mistakes we made in the past and that forever youth coming to an end. We can still learn lessons from it but not as much as would benefit us when we were younger. RP men have the advantage of time. It may suck for them when they are 20 but they figure it out early (because it slaps them in the face) and if they put in the effort, they can really optimize leaving …

I wouldn’t personally do it but I wouldn’t NOT date someone over it either… such a minor thing, who cares. Also if they were married or lived together for a long time, I can see it. Seems like you just don’t like him that much if this is a dealbreaker.

A high value man is not going to say he’s a high value man or an alpha. Red pill 101. This guy without a job who is unhygienic with a nasty room is definitely not high value. I’m sure this is very relatable to many women, however! The most important thing is that you are learning and that’s what dating is about!

Yes, this is a huge problem! I suppose I made the assumption they were not telling the new partner about the current partner, but for sure if the new partner knows, he’s most likely never going to trust and respect her.

I get your point in that we say red pill women is amoral but when women come here with nontraditional strategies, they tend to get blasted. This is largely because we have a fairly traditional audience but the mods do a good job at shutting this down, however, I’m sure it does still scare people away. I know I have some personal opinions and practices I don’t share here because people do not like it because of morality (specifically in regards to white lies). So be it. Also, there are very few m…

Again, if you are looking for the highest value man possible AND you define that as money and looks only, then yes, being the main chick and allowing side chicks maybe the best course for you. However most women don’t want that, most women want monogomy and a more traditional arrangement. Especially if they are going to have children with this man, his morals matter. To get that, they are likely willing to compromise on money and looks and look for other qualities in a partner.

Let me be real (if this isn’t a troll post). At 32, if you want kids, now IS the time. You need to move quickly. So you have to compromise what that looks like. The alternative may be just not getting to have kids at all because most (I stress that most really means a huge majority) men don’t make what you do and never will. At your age, going out and looking for a new guy isn’t a viable option if you want kids. You make fabulous money and can afford great help. You may have preferred to stay ho…

I think this highly depends on the type of job/industry, company culture, and the actual men themselves. I travel with majority men on occasion who party and I’ve never worried about my safety… but I work for a tech company where people are aware of these dynamics, and I know the men well enough and trust them. So I’d never think something bad would happen, and frankly I don’t come across as an easy target. Also I don’t stay out drinking with them. I go to dinner and then don’t go to the hotel b…

If you want to seriously date, you HAVE to be more open minded. Yes you need to be attracted to your guy but only going for one specific look is SO bad. Not only is it hard to find, but it means when you do find this guy, you become obsessed. What if he treats you bad? What if he beats you? You won't leave, you will put up with it because you know how hard he would be to replace. I'm being dramatic to illustrate a point. You are focused on attraction only and nothing else. This is so problematic…

You raise a good point about balance and not making it seem as if you want any man but rather the right fit. This is honestly SUCH a fine line to walk. I’ve said something similar, like “I am very blessed in my life and would love to share it with a partner.” And yes, guys will opt out. I think this point is what loses most girls. They find a guy they want who won’t commit to them and therefore compromise their goals to get a taste of him. This is one strategy to choose but of course rarely will…

For the drinking, did he tell you hey I did this cool funny thing or was he like hey I did this thing I regret it was so embarrassing? People make mistakes, especially at 21, and so I would not write people off for one mistake. But how they talk about it will tell you more about their character. If he thought it was cool and was bragging, that just tells me he’s immature and probably not ready for a partnership. If he expressed some sort of remorse, however, that’s a good sign of strong morals. …

OP I don’t hear you saying anything about what you were doing to attract men in terms of your behavior. None of us look perfect and we have to work with what we have. So start focusing on your behavior, are going to places where you’re going to meet men? Have you mastered giving them signs you are interested? Do you have good girl game?

I’d encourage you to also make a self care list. If you feel overwhelmed or depressed, go to the list and pick a thing. These should be FUN and EASY things you can do, simple, not something you feel you should do but don’t really want to. Whatever you love - watch a show, light a candle, read a book, take a nap, sit in the sun, go get a massage, sit by a lake… whatever.

Very great write up. From a strategic perspective, being submissive immediately is not going to be your best strategy either. While men do you like some degree of submissiveness (i.e. agreeableness), a woman who is a pushover and doesn’t know herself is going to be unattractive in the initial stages of dating. We see women come in here all the time who are very submissive and quiet and have trouble attracting men because they don’t have any girl game. The skills you need to attract a man in the …

Dating apps take a lot of time and effort to be successful. Logging on briefly, taking a look, and jumping off when you’re already in a relationship is not going to be a realistic experience.

On average men get married around 30 in the United States, younger in other places in the world. People online want to act like this doesn’t happen but most men 40 and over who have never been married are unlikely to get married. Those who do get married over 40 generally are on their second or third marriage. Men who want to get married know it even if they are in their late 20s. Sure I wouldn’t expect a 20-year-old guy to know this but a 26 or up year-old guy probably knows. By 30, he’s sure.

As a Muslim man, he’s not allowed to marry a woman who’s not Muslim, Christian or Jewish. I’m speaking from experience. They will all tell you their family is open minded, but until they put you in front of their family face to face, do not believe it. Maybe they are open minded compared to other Muslims but compared to westerners they are still strict. And in my experience, Muslim men get more conservative over the years.
