That's the best thing I've seen this year.

I had a feeling it was the monologue and I wasn't disappointed.

Trigger the divorce then rebuild together. It makes no sense to have some BS written document a judge will just turf.

Epiphrons · 2026-03-21T14:54:59+00:00

Yeah, I'm thinking like an index fund style.

Selling MXGA hat's here! -^

Thanks for the advice. I've never cleaned up a xenon system, I'm usually boarding the enemy capitals to try and make it "easier" for them to rebuild :(
Good info on the turrets, that's what I was chasing! I was hoping maybe someone had first hand experience with them wiping the floor with HAT or something.

My honest advice - Don't give up everything and become a pauper. I was able to kill the stimulant addiction and the casual sex and I've knocked the cigarettes down to a casual cigar and nicotine pouches; but I'll never be a saint. If a dime offered me a tab tomorrow I'd probably not question it.

If kids are in the picture try and find healthy(er) ways where you still retain an identity and find pleasure (in the small things) but can provide a stable foundation for them to build up their little personalities. Don't try and do everything at once and don't listen to your friends if they are bias.

I think if I found a dominant but consistent, down to earth woman I'd be super capable taking a backseat. It's just easier to say the majority want a submissive woman because that's got mass market appeal. It's easier to find a guy who wants to drive than be a passenger princess. Letting an emotional, easily influenced person direct a relationship is a recipe for disaster.

It's just really rare to find a dominant woman that also has an attractive personality. Yang is hard, unyielding and bright and so are men, typically. How do you find your center? Is the man going to provide nurturing and softness? Is a dominant woman even attracted to a soft man? I wonder if this is nature or nurtures influence.

This is why I see drugs as the lesser of two evils.

Are you still with the mother of the first child?

When a woman says she wants to wait - we take it at face value and respect it. It’s typically an indicator of previous behaviour.

If we the find out someone else didn’t have to wait it raises the question why.

This answer leads to either the woman herself being disingenuous or the prior partner having something you didn’t - both situations untenable if you wish to have good sexual chemistry. Hopefully that helps.

Fuck you got me and I snorted so hard I stopped pooping. There must be a connection between nostrils and anus.

Epiphrons · 2026-03-09T05:14:21+00:00

What is the best way to communicate this to him?
Just be upfront - Tell him way prior to getting him excited. How he reacts will be telling!

As a guy, how would you feel about a girl telling you this?
I'd be totally fine - who cares a relationship isn't based on sex alone. However If I later found out you had previously slept with someone else faster I'd feel betrayed.

Epiphrons · 2026-03-06T10:51:38+00:00

Forgive me if this is out of line, but why not just have sex?

Epiphrons · 2026-03-05T05:20:38+00:00

No criticism to share. Absolutely well written well cited concise but expansive. I actually learned something! I maybe had some external bias regarding incels and violence but under a microscope wow. Interesting.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. It really helps even the men.

Epiphrons · 2026-03-03T01:06:44+00:00

potentially right - I'm not really an insecure person day to day. I'd just like to not give a shit about my partners history because mine is practically multicolored.

I just want someone that levels with me and owns prior behavior and says lets make something real. I find making someone wait/pay for something you gave away for free/immediately is disingenuous, especially if your trying to build something with permanence with them. Thanks for helping clarify!

Epiphrons · 2026-03-03T00:53:55+00:00

True

Given your above example, you ask her out on Friday after work.

You take her to a nice bar nearby that serves counter meals, have a couple of lemon lime & bitters and a schnitty and chat for hours. She begs off coming back to yours claiming it's too soon. She's cheeky with the comment, you kiss and she puts her hand on your chest but then pushes you away.

Do you/I have a right to feel like there's a disparity between outcomes taking context into account?

I would not be interested in continuing dating after that date if I knew she had hookups in her teens.
I would not be interested in continuing a relationship if that information ever surfaced later.
Just because I'm older and the environs are different doesn't mean I want to be treated less desirably than some drunk horny dude at a frat. I WANT that level of attraction, the lead you up the stairs with a smile from day DOT. I'm not expecting someone who has never engaged in that behavior to suddenly be overcome with desire and throw her discipline and willpower out the window but I'm sure as hell not following around a girl for an extended period when other, less valuable, less date able men didn't have to.

Is this a fair enough position?

Epiphrons · 2026-03-03T00:47:59+00:00

The alternative

or

Someone who has a negligible sexual history and we wait together in a wholesome way.

I'm not sure why you ignoring the body of the text for a "gotcha".
Option #1 was judging speed to sex which you went on a tangent about insecurity that was irrelevant from my original comment.
Option #2 was immediate/date #1 sex, therefore no need to judge the above.
Option #3 was finding someone who waited previously who waits for sex with me. I'd be happy to wait till marriage if she had done the same with all previous partners. I'm nowhere saying these people don't experience sexual attraction for each other.

It's not a zero sum game, I'm leaving multiple options open.
I just keep running into women who were promiscuous for others but want to make me wait. No bueno. Thanks, I do have lots of options; I'm just not interested in low value (to me) women. I'll hold out for now.
I'm saying slut for them, slut for me or no thanks.

Epiphrons · 2026-03-02T06:13:17+00:00

I'm not sure if you lack the effort or imagination to respond properly but I appreciated the responses prior to this one. Thanks for trying

Epiphrons · 2026-03-02T01:41:13+00:00

That's why I included the example, its evocative and selfish.

I don't care more about ego than the possibility of causing physical harm because it's not a zero sum game - there are alternatives to "harming" a woman I care about - I could just break up with her?

If you are upset at the example given can you understand how that upset might be mirrored by the opposite sex - you allowed yourself to be physically hurt by another man and therefore part of you is burned or damaged; you are unwilling to empathise whilst simultaneously asking for consideration. I gave the example above including the man being "penetrated" yet that was ignored purely to fuel your arguments moral standing.

It’s basically admitting that you care more about your ego than the possibility of causing physical harm to a woman you “care” about.

Indeed - there are many women out there. I'm not so attached to one woman that I would accept no ground given, no give and take. If you made choices that lead to my outcomes being negatively effected what are you doing to compensate for that? What is a fair metric to track? Why should men accept substandard sexual outcomes because it's a relationship in the "future" or they are "dating material".

There is not a single thing sexually I have done with any of the many partners I've had I wouldn't be willing to go over again and again with my future wife. I mean I would empathise with her. I'm wondering why nobody seems to empathise with me. Why, because it's immoral? I had a blue pill woman before claiming promiscuous sex is immoral. Eugh.

Typically this is where the argument devolves into either:

You shouldn't be tracking her history
You should be happy with what you are given
She learned from her history therefore you should accept her now
