Ding! We have a winner. The successful women who wind up (happily) married to successful men? KNOW HOW TO TURN OFF that competitive, driven energy when they come home. They come home and slip back into their feminine. As a guy, being with a woman who can’t do that? Is about as appealing as being a woman married to a military man who can’t turn of the urge to bark orders at people. Bringing that home is toxic and tiresome to those around them. The last thing he wants to do after a long day of fighting to wrangle resources from the world is come home to another power-struggle. This time over who leads the dance of their personal lives. That’s a headache and a stressor that a man will eventually get tired of having to deal with.

@andrewmackenzie325 Laugh all you want. I have a very happily married sister who IS happily married, because she realized that same thing. Leave that competitive energy outside of the relationship with her husband. The problem too many women are too stubborn and too proud to be willing to do that. But then she also chose WISELY.

Yes. Because I became MGTOW years before there was a name for it. I looked at the landscape of women available to me as a male professional…and none of them were appealing. None of them had the character I wanted in a mother of my children, or brought anything to the table that made my life better. All I was getting was headache, heartache, chaos and drama. The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze. How did we get here? Simple. Feminism wanted the power and freedom of men…but none of the stresses or responsibilities that went with that role. One of which is: The higher your status, the more likely you are going to have to marry DOWN if you want a partner. Because the math doesn’t work any other way. But so many women engage in magical thinking so they act as if there is an endless supply of high-status men…and that they “shouldn’t” have to compete for access to them. That’s as absurd as a guy thinking that he can sit on a couch all day playing video games and the supermodels should just “love and accept him” as he is. Yeah…right. Let me know how that works out for you… Women are slowly waking up. They are starting to understand that part of what they want to call “the patriarchy” involved men SHIELDING women…especially affluent women…from many of the harsh realities of life. So out they go into the world… they get their bag…and now they are looking around wondering where are all the things I was promised that went along with it. Sorry. You became the man you wanted to marry, only to find out that you now have few—if any—of what he wants in a wife. Why would I want to work 60-70 hours a week, only to come home and get into a power-struggle with some who thinks I should be doing just as much housework. Even thou she’s working 20-30+ fewer hours than I am OUTSIDE the home. Women want modern when it works to their benefit…and tradition when that works to their benefit….and that is a raw deal for a man. Because it means all of the responsibilities that went with the traditional male role, but with none of the powers and privileges that went with it. Naaah. I’m good…

@Volkbrecht But that requires a woman to discipline her hypergamy…and have the ability to ignore the barbs of other women. A colleague of mine did what you suggested. Married her high school sweetheart who was a factory worker at an auto plant, while she went on to college and professional school. Which he helped pay for. He was everything many modern women claim to want. He supported his wife’s ambitions. He did the lion share of the work around the home to offset her greater work hours. My male colleagues? We welcomed him as one of us. He conducted himself honorably and played by the rules, so he earned our respect. Their wives? OMFG!! They were absolutely horrible to this man. They clearly felt that she’d married beneath her station…and they never missed an opportunity to show their disrespect for this guy. They were downright hateful… Which is why we guys say “Ignore what she says, and watch what she responds to.” And…”If you want to see what a woman is really like, watch how she treats a man who she feels has nothing to offer her.” Point: If a woman does what you suggest? Get ready for her friend to go after that guy and do their damndest to sabotage that relationship, “Get rid of him. You can do better, girl….”

@arcotstyle Actually not. Men are lied to by society (and most women). Hence the “red pill rage” when they finally realize that being “nice” doesn’t work. It usually gets you used, disrespected and taken advantage of. Because what makes women happy in long term relationships isn’t what makes a woman attracted to a man in the short term. Women are lied to because of the type of men they chase after. They all chase after a small number of men who have their pick of many women. So they don’t treat women well because they don’t have to. It’s too easy to simply replace you (very beautiful women do the same thing to men). They are also poor judges of male character and value the wrong things. Especially if there were few good male role models for them growing up. S they chase wealth, status, and physical appearance…and just expect that sound character will go along for the ride. Then get mad when it doesn’t. When it isn’t there because they never make it being there a priority, and are often repelled (boring!) by men who have it. Whereas men learn quickly that beautiful women are often not very nice people. They are often immature, and selfish. So men will happily pick a less physically attractive woman, in order to find better character and personality. The women who complain the loudest about “the lack of good men” refuse to do this. So they try to turn players into husbands while the good men pile up in their friend-zone. You get what you ask for…or some fraction thereof.
