It is weird to me this nonsense that comes up over and over again. Is this male copium for those who are inadequate in all areas? |
Bingo. I have never met anyone in real life who talks about relationships in such a transactional sex/money way. |
Well, Buffet’s first wife up and moved to CA and left him. He was (prob still is) a workaholic and seems low in terms of EQ so not sure I’d listen to his marriage advice…. |
| Women think that because lots of guys want to have sex with them, they are somehow special because if that. It's delusional. |
You mean not counting all the women on DCUM ofc |
| When I say "real life" I mean offline, not an anonymous message board where you have literally no idea if someone posting is actually a man or woman. |
Polygamy- ish |
So a man must have all of the money and resources, but he can't be a "workaholic", whatever that means. Childish. |
DP. You know that DCUM is not real life, even for the women posting, right? |
It seems like it. My dh is 2 inches shorter than I am and only hit 100k ten years after we got married. He's really funny, sweet, and likes to cook together. It sounds like some.pf these guys only want to date extremely attractive women from rich families, who can have their pick of the wealthier men. |
And what is wrong with women thinking they are special? If you disagree, move on. A lot of success is built on what many people would call delusions. And being a happy, single woman is success. Lots of single women are happy, whether or not they are single by choice. |
He did fine in life, relative to men who are single until age 41. Attracted 2 women long term, was committed to them, earned a fortune and respect in all areas of his life. Both of his "wives" are hardly sugar babies types but rather someone he respected and who were well integrated into his life in practical sense. I would totally agree with his viewpoint at marriage |
Duh. Thst's what they have been telling you, and you keep arguing. You can have all the money in this world, and women will still get tired if you lack substance. But you don't want to listen because working like a dog is easier than developing a personality, empathy, and emotional intelligence. |
You take relationships from "glass half empty" viewpoint. Why don't you think of them and your marriage from "glass half full" standpoint? That marriage is the practical institute that is meant to raise a family while taking the related risks. That life is long, and things may change. So things need to be considered in the dynamic perspective of whole life, not just what you want at that moment. And never loose yourself in marriage because one you do, you start blaming the spouse for every unsuccesful joint decision (liky buying a 1.7mm house you coulnd't afford) |
His wife left him but did not want to limit her access to his funds so she chose not to divorce. Then she contacted her friend and made her a sister wife. If that is what you are into, then listen to him. Many women do not want to share their husbands. |
