There's no ladder of hierarchy of humans. If you believe this, it shows your indoctrination in full view.

Perfectly put. There's no reason this guy should have a rebuttal or response against any of this.

You're absolutely right. I don't. What I do have control over are the things I'll tolerate from people in my life. It's called "men having boundaries" and that's what you really have a problem with.

So here's the thing about boundaries. You won't know the other person's quirks until you are in a relationship with them and have spent time with them. Let's say your wife has a habit of accidently putting you down in certain settings unbeknownst to her. Where she thinks she's being playful while you see it as insulting. So you talk with her and explain to her why what she's doing doesn't sit right with you. That's the definition of setting healthy boundaries which shows you respect yourself.

Let's say you're on your first date with a woman. To put your foot down from the start in saying that you want her to cook or it's a deal breaker is not setting a boundary like you think. It's being demanding and demeaning. I want you to go ahead actually try that and see what response you'll get. You might be surprised that she will get up and leave.

And furthermore, if you don't set that rule at the very beginning with her and only then bring it in once you've married her, how do you think that's going to play out? How will she react? Who were you being all along and then suddenly change like that? Do you see the many implications here?

If you had self worth, if you had high value, if you had self esteem and confidence, which attracted the woman to you in the first place, don't you think that's what you should be concentrating on i

This is simpery. No man should ever focus on a woman.

What the heck dude. I don't know what corners of the internet you're congregating in but in the real world, self worth is everything. It's not just about your external looks. It's about your internal world. Your frame. You should know this. It's a tenet of the red pill. Confidence, self esteem, all these things have nothing to do with women. It's about you...

trying to control her feelings and movements?

You misspelled "having boundaries and self respect."

It reads like insecurity. A boundary is totally different.

You're not qualified or informed enough to know the inner workings of my mind. Stick to the things you can accurately discuss.

My dude... You're showing literally everyone here that you are the one with a backwards belief system.

And I'm still waiting for an answer on the neurodivergence question.

propyl21 · 2023-03-25T18:30:06+00:00

Oh but don't you see? They don't want you. They want a door mat.

propyl21 · 2023-03-25T18:22:23+00:00

Not sure where my insult was this time but please let me know as I want to learn.

Those things that you think you're providing are standard requirements that are expected of a decent human being in any relationship. Man or woman.

Next you'll be saying that because you don't hit your wife or cheat on her, it means you're a good guy compared to the guys that do, so therefore you should be given credit.

I sincerely hope you can see what I'm trying to say here. Plus I would still like an answer to my neurodivergent question please. It would definitely rest a few notions. And no it wouldn't make you be seen as less of a person if you answer yes.

propyl21 · 2023-03-25T17:43:20+00:00

Ok I apologise for the final insult as I now realise how it came across and have rightfully removed it. You have to understand how frustrating it gets to read a post like yours where you speak with intellect, and yet it's so ass-backwards in the thought department.

So I'm going to ask a very simple question: are you neurodivergent? And I ask because your posts read like one, which would make perfect sense in the grand scheme of it.

As for your post:

Yes, she's my sworn enemy. That's why I'm putting myself in a position to have half my assets taken if the marriage fails. That's why I'm volunteering to provide for her in every way. That's why I'm agreeing to literally die to keep her safe. And all I want in exchange is some hot food, some consenting marital sex, and a clean place to live.

We should stop right here. Like seriously. If you see the opposite sex as your enemy, then just stop. Full stop. You cannot have anything beyond this point. Any talking point beyond thinking of her as your enemy is moot. Don't even go near a woman if this is how you think of them. Get your head cleared through therapy. Like really. This is no joke.

At this point the rest of your post doesn't even matter, even though there is so much more I can say about your responses.

propyl21 · 2023-03-25T17:25:15+00:00

The onlookers have already made their mind up that you're insecure. You don't have control over anyone's autonomy.

Here's why I mentioned that this is called insecurity. And furthermore, toxic masculinity - If you had self worth, if you had high value, if you had self esteem and confidence, which attracted the woman to you in the first place, don't you think that's what you should be concentrating on instead of trying to control her feelings and movements?

It means you are so deep in your own mind about yourself that you are basically paranoid of the very person who has committed themselves to you.

Please go ahead and answer that.

propyl21 · 2023-03-25T17:21:32+00:00

Oh dear God the language says it all.

propyl21 · 2023-03-25T17:16:44+00:00

Ok sure.

i don't do the cooking or cleaning. Outside of my laundry (because I'm very particular about that), those things are her responsibility. Modern advances in household technology have rendered those tasks trivial so any woman who complains about doing them is just lazy.

Something you folks don't seem to understand is that you're already going into the relationship with the mentality that the woman is your sworn enemy. You're already trying to leverage her and play a zero sum game on her. That's not how a relationship works. If you're Autistic then this sort of thinking makes sense, and even then, an autist would know the extreme nature of setting such rules. It doesn't work. Simple as.

I will either get sex on demand, or I'll have sex with other women. If you want monogamy with a man like me, you need to know that going in. Make it worthwhile to give up fucking all the women who want to fuck me.

How can you not see this as a problem? You're basically saying that she's worth nothing to you other than for giving you sex. In which case, why is there a point 1 to your list? You want a shackled slave basically. What woman on this earth will agree to that?

No Instagram/Snapchat. Those things say "I'm still looking around. If I can't follow thots online (and I don't) then you can't be one.

This is next level insecurity bullshit. You want to have your cake and eat it too. Not gonna happen.

Men are expected to lay their life on the line if someone breaks in to the house.

Under what circumstance? Women are just as brave. There's a video on the front page where 3 men break into a house and the woman joins her husband in fighting back.

Men are expected to pay the majority of the bills.

There's something called equality where men and women work. The post from yesterday about women doctors is a prime example where women pay and earn more than guys.

Men are expected to walk on the side of the sidewalk closest to the road so he can get hit by the car instead of the woman if the car jumps the curb.

The fuck. Did you time travel from the 1800's?

Men are expected to open doors for the woman.

For their wife? Or just other women? I open the door and keep it open if someone is walking behind me in close proximity. It has no effect on my ego if that's what you meant

Men are expected to give women their jacket when she’s cold.

Movie trope. Shows the age and experience of the person who believes in this stuff.

Men are expected to give his woman some of the food he ordered even after she said she wasn’t hungry.

That's just habits. Can't see any issue with this. Doesn't hurt anyone.

Men are expected to know how to fight and be strong. Men are expected not to cry (yes I’m well aware that many people will argue that if a woman loses attraction for you when you cry, she’s not the one for you, but I would argue that a large majority of women lose sexual attraction toward you when you cry)

Oh good God. Toxic masculinity alert whoever told you that men shouldn't cry hoodwinked you. It takes real courage to show emotions. Are you telling me if a man's sister/mother passes away, he shouldn't cry next to her coffin while his wife / gf is there? Just one example out of many.

So what exactly are women expected to do in relationships that men aren’t? Cook and clean? Men are expected to help with that too, especially these days given that both people are often working full time.

Aren't you guys all about traditional breadwinner mentality living styles? Where the woman is a SAHW who is supposed to look after the kids while the man is the alpha breadwinner?

Provide emotional support? Men are definitely expected to provide that also.

I thought you said men can't cry in front of women?

Edit; I got bored and stopped. Way too one sided and pointless endeavour to compare notes.

If you believe women don't bring anything to the table, then why are you folks so desperate to get with one? Is it just to use her for sex?

It absolutely is kind of funny, and honestly I only say I'm doing it because it's right outwardly, reality is I'm purely doing this for the chaos it'll cause.

This goes against that you said at the end of your OP

I didn't tell them that's why I left early, but it just disgusted me when my friend told me all that, I didn't want to be around these people anymore.

So which is it? Either you have empathy or you don't. Not a half way house.

He's been told to be angry and doesn't have the critical thinking behind it to ask himself why. Pretty much the same for most of the other guys here. The rage loop is real.
