I admire the ability of people like AfOR for many things, not least of which is his skill at inline deconstruction of the male rationalization-hamster. Anyone who has been to his blog can see him in action.
Over on Dalrock, a contributor named “Embracing Reality” has a particularly active hamster. He writes:
Im single never married, no kids, 47, financially quite comfortable. I’m currently dating a “good” Christian women
The scare-quotes imply sarcasm. Care to fill us in on the details? Yes? Let’s go through it…
7 years younger,
She’s 40. A “good Christian woman” at that age is either married or a nun. The wimminz you’re fucking is a skank-ho fake Christian, who takes her religious obligations as seriously as she takes the latest pair of shoes she bought.
single never married, no kids and like me she doesn’t want any.
She brazenly asserts that she doesn’t want children, because her own poor decisions have left her in a position where she can’t have any. This is Anna Freud’s classic work on ego-defense, writ-large into your life.
No worries, though. She’ll find some unfortunate man to marry, and he will serve as the kid she never had. This is a foundational concept which is known as “displacement.” Anna Freud’s daddy, Sig, wrote all about it.
Hint: Don’t be that man.
Fit, attractive for her age,
Marginally less fat and repulsive than the average 40-year old skank-ho. Got it.
looks early 30s with smooth skin.
She actually looks 40. Your illusion is a false state of consciousness, produced by your own oxytocin.
She makes 75k a year.
And you should give a shit, why? I’ve dated tons of lawyer-sluts and accountant-sluts who make (what they imagine to be) big dollaz. That would only be relevant if I wanted to assume the status of wife.
She constantly test me as to where this 6 month relationship is going, she wants me to marry her of course. Now what?
You say no. When she throws the resulting tantrum, you show her the door. If you follow the procedure that Ya Boy Boxer has already laid out, she’ll be back soon enough with an apology. Rinse and repeat if you want.
This is probably as good a match as I’ll ever find.
What does this say about you? I work at a shit-tier university, and personally know dozens of hot 25-year olds, who are openly professing their love for 50-something men on a daily basis. Start jogging, grandpa. Get some dental work done and a new suit made. Four billion women in the world, and most of them are better matches than the old bag you’re describing.
For whatever reason I can easily meet women like her online. I’m good at meeting women online but rarely quite as good of a match. Yet I don’t know if I even want marriage at this point. I’m afraid the juice just won’t be worth the squeeze. How can it be? The risks, responsibilities, obligations, potential burdens.
In other words, you know she’s in wallet-seeking mode, and you know the dangers, you’re just daily lying to yourself.
Point being, any single man anywhere who only has 99 problems doesn’t really need 100 more. Even if sexual desire is overwhelming (it’s not for me, at all) marrying might not help that problem anyway. Sure, some men have good marriages but not very damn many. In 2018, for most men, why bother?
You just gave yourself far better advice than anyone else could do. Do yourself a favor, and take yourself seriously. Live up to your pseudonym and admit that the risks outweigh the rewards. Be honest with her too. Cut her loose, to find another chump, and spend the rest of your life grateful not to be that poor fucker.
“She makes 75k a year.
And you should give a shit, why?”
Good point. This is, if anything, a red flag (particularly in Western cultures). It shows that she is, most likely, indoctrinated with feminist idealism.
wimminz: CSHE by AfoR is the most astonishingly brilliant and down to earth shit I’ve read anywhere. When I discovered his blog (from the blogroll here), I spent two weeks at work…uh at my desk, doing nothing but reading it start to finish.
‘single never married, no kids and like me she doesn.t want any.’
And whenever I hear that I think, what’s the point in getting married. There’s a reason why she is single at 40.
Granted having children in marriage sometimes doesn’t happen, but I’m talking about having that attitude before marriage.
‘She actually looks 40. Your illusion is a false state of consciousness, produced by your own oxytocin.’
The aptly named (although not as much in this situation)….wife goggles.
I’d rather remember meeting her when she was 25…than remembering meeting her at 40 even if she is still a looker. She was much more a looker 15 years ago.
