  1. You’re right , Julian. These dudes are autistic, boring materialists, then they wonder about “walk away wife” syndrome. Nothing Beta about romanticism. In fact, the darn thing is rough beyond measure, it’s the practical marriage that’s made for the effete, comfortable bougie. The highest expression of men have been romanticists.  Romanticism is even more trying for the man bc he is expected to act like feelings are nonsense, but when he’s in it, even the toughest, most realistic boy knows the spiritual truth and becomes a Believer.

  2.  @Julian-of3qj  If you are a reasonably successful, confident man in real life, plus with your sincere romantic orientation (nothing to do with soft beta) - you can be an actual treasure to women. Then all the no-nonsense Karenins out there wonder “what just happened” when they lose their woman to one like you. Oopsie.

  3.  @psychacks  it doesn’t matter. It could easily be explained scientifically, through a high degree of psycho-social compatibility between the two (same ilk) which lovers intuit. This often surfaces later when the two have finally come into their own but are already committed to someone else. Society is a rationalistic love-blocker that makes an unnecessary fuss around breaking commitment to a mediocre but “churchy” relationship to replace with a naturalistic, very high quality one, if that opportunity arises. That doesn’t mean there’s anything inherently deranged, delusional or mystical about romantic love. The tension created between individual and societal needs is the root of the problem. If anything, the deranged party is the rationalistic social system that thinks it knows better than nature when it plays Musical Chairs with marriage. For similar derangements, see bureaucracy, statism, national socialism, socialism proper, and sexual Marxism (from each alpha according to his abilities, to each Beta according to his needs).  Romantic love is Nature talking to people: it fits like a glove, go ahead ! Perfectly equal yoke. Most first marital selections tend to be opportunistic and shallow, so perhaps there should be a higher divorce rate for more correction, not lower. Those who understand the history of the Romantic spirit know it is anything but shallow. Better yet, no marriage. Just natural unions who can stand the test of time on their own, without the controls, vows, and manipulations of marriage. In fact, “vows” should be considered blasphemy. It’s like playing God, claiming to know and be able to control the future. This sounds like a lack of humility towards the Divine, seeing free will is a bit of a joke. No need for romantic love to end in death. It can end in an excellent marriage, including all of its practicalities, then death, then off to Heaven together. Modern society can finally afford not to prostitute itself with the opportunistic, practical marriages we’ve seen throughout history, yet we insist on the devil we know bc most people are, after all, materialist bougie bores incapable of exalted sentiment anyway. Maybe it’s time for the few higher spirits capable of this exaltation to get with the romantic program. Rise to a higher level of consciousness instead of getting stuck in basal Marx and Maslow 1-2 max, like the herd does.

  5. Death can’t them part, probably.

  6. Right. That secular two way would be most marriages, which are fundamentally material and opportunistic. We project sacredness on ALL of them bc church said so. But it’s BS. A few rare romances turn to marriage but all others are about grabbing someone cause it’s time to settle down and reproduce. Ain’t no God and spirit in that, it’s just the social organization of reproduction. It starts with fishing to see what the bait brings. Only true romances have a spiritual component.
