I agree with LoverMan. He is right in pointing out that one of the problems we have as a society is that women have too much freedom. In the past, females and female sexuality were tightly reined in by a patriarchal social structure. Women were not to whore themselves out. But now we don't have strong men with a firm hand anymore and women are running out of control.

I have always maintained that (female) sexual selection is a load of crap, because, I mean, look at what women do when they get to choose their sexual partners. Instead of going for, say, surgeons who save lives, they go for rappers, basketball players. And this is the best-case scenario. A lot of times they go for drug-dealers or Tyrone, as Love pointed out.


It makes perfect sense from a biological-mathematical point of view. Not that human beings should be boiled down to numbers, but if you were to think of them as such, then it becomes obvious why a woman would prefer to seek those so-called 'bad boys.' They're simply more likely to accumulate a lot of resources quickly and if they should die in the process, they are readily replaceable

Its a really ugly lens to view life through, but the bad and aggressive man is more likely to take the risks that might net strong rewards - and if things go south, the chick can just bail out and surrender herself to whatever danger he got himself into and likely survive.

Example: Dating a drug dealer for the money he brings, but being unlikely to also be killed if and when an opposing gang member breaks into his home to deal with him - the woman always has the option of simply surrendering to the victor of that conflict and continuing her journey.


In theory, this is a much more viable way to live your life when compared with gambling that one single man will become a success and provide a stable platform to procreate from. This used to be the way human beings operated before religion turned women into property - we are only just now discovering our true nature again and we're having a massive identity crisis. If you can't marry the king, you can marry the crowd - and that's what we're seeing with sites like OF and the like. All of the same patterns are still there, it just looks different because we're a different and highly technologically advanced society now.

Marriage is increasingly losing its importance and social value through subsequent generations. Throughout human history getting married and starting a family was a cornerstone of what it meant to find meaning in one's life, but that is less so the case as time goes on. People are increasingly finding meaning now in the work they do, the hobbies they have, and the broad interpersonal connections that they make. This, couple with women's liberation and the 'American Dream' being gate-kept by capitalism leads to fewer and fewer focus on getting married.

People that don't get married have low fertility rates or raise nonviable offspring. This is a passing trend and the ones who don't realize this before it is too late will go extinct.

With humans like you, who only view women as baby factories and sexual objects, maybe they should go extinct.

Instead of complaining that literally no woman alive will ever let you come anywhere near them, maybe ask yourself why that is and what you can work on in your life to possibly change that. I know, it's a longshot. It's a much more satisfying life to air your sexual frustrations and overt racism and all around trolling on social media, right?

Pathetic.

I don't think they compute logic, otherwise they wouldn't be in this here boat to begin with.

He didn't say he views women as baby factories though.

Besides, the best role a woman can possibly want or have is motherhood. We should celebrate motherhood so that more women will be willing to stay home and raise kids. And it's not because I have a retrograde view of women, but rather, it's because women are the determining factor in the survival of the species. If enough women don't want to breed, soon humanity will die out.

Marriage itself is a concept of partnership for life. Stability. A singular partner, etc. However you want to view it.

I prefer the idea of monogamy because I would never enjoy a relationship sharing a partner, nor having more than one partner as one person is more than enough to share myself with.

Polyamory.... Some people thrive that way, and to be honest, let them. In my opinion, there are key features to healthy relationships and lifestyles: honesty, stability, love, and commitment. As long as these are there, people will thrive.

I think another major factor is that the dependence on one another declined thanks to modern technology and forms of social organization. As recently as the 1950s and 60s, running a household was a full-time job and unmarried men struggled keeping up with it, just like unmarried women often times struggled to make ends meet without a provider. Even setting the kids-factor aside, a lot of marriages up until that point were made for practical reasons rather than deep love and voluntary commitment.

When dishwashers, washing machines, tumblers, fast food, daycare and such became more widely accessible, this reliance on a partner to manage day to day life declined or disappeared altogether, so that only those marriages remained which are made for voluntary, romantic reasons.
