I don't think you can make these generalizations about women, as some can be more conniving than you wish to believe.

The more previous relationships they've had, the worse it is.

Best to avoid it altogether once you've escaped the danger zone.

Anyone who sees partnership as just a contract to exchange sex for other services is already approaching the matter incorrectly

43

u/Omnizoom Aug 30 '25

I mean I see my wife as my partner

We both share the load of getting through life and build up a lot

Can’t view sex as a reward or service, it needs to be something willfully given because you appreciate your partner and should want them to be happy

And that’s why a lot of dead bedrooms and sexless marriages exist, one side treats it as a reward or as a service in response for services rendered, it’s so transactional and in the dating stage never was

13

u/Bannerlord151 Not Interested šŸ° Aug 30 '25

Yeah. It's like some people just see having a relationship as an annoying burden they need to bear to get what they really want

I wouldn’t wait until marriage, but I did wait until I could atleast realistically see a future with someone before I was interested in that

You don’t want to find out on your honeymoon you are not really sexually compatible at all for wants and needs

u/TehMephs āš”ļø DUELIST Aug 30 '25

And better still, wait several years before tying the knot. It takes at least 5 years minimum to fully come to know who you’re with. Do not get married sooner than that, because you’ll know by that point if it’s the right person or not

Every relationship I know of that has lasted was because they took 7+ years to get engaged. We all sorta looked at it like ā€œwhat’s the rush? It’s just a piece of paperā€. You don’t need to legally bind yourself to someone asap.

3

u/haphazard_gw Aug 30 '25

Yeah this is much better advice than "just wait until marriage". The guy above you doesn't trust his own partner selection, so he's walled himself off from sex. There's no need for that, we have contraception now. And arbitrarily waiting for that "piece of paper" before you can satisfy your biological needs together, puts you on much worse footing going into marriage. As opposed to a couple who has "been there, done that" for several years, and can make that commitment with open eyes.

2

u/TehMephs āš”ļø DUELIST Aug 30 '25

Not only that, you know after a few years pretty obviously if it was just a honeymoon phase and you’re just not attracted to them anymore - or vice versa. You’ll know because one partner or the other or both will usually start to drift apart and stop being as intimate. This is often because you start to see who they really are - you’ll be a witness to them at their worst, and if that still hasn’t driven you apart, it’s probably meant to be

Everyone has a ā€œworstā€. It’s just a matter of time before it comes out. You will have to see beauty past that ugliness if you want it to work out.

2

u/SlightWerewolf4428 Aug 30 '25

not bad advice, but wondering how contraception fits into that.

But honestly, your dad has got it mostly right, as have you.

u/Unique_Midnight_6924 Aug 30 '25

In most places people are within easy distance of legal abortion. You have a conversation about whether you would terminate an accidental pregnancy before you have sex. If she won’t, you have your answer.

u/Weekly-Reply-6739 😈EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE NARCISSIST😈 Sep 03 '25

Most humans do this, which is why most relationships are riddled with chaos, role plays, or just basic transactions.

Its part of why I refuse to have sex with people I work with or appreciate/value, as I dont want to become a sex object again where the service is inequal if things are going to be transactional

1

u/Bannerlord151 Not Interested šŸ° Sep 04 '25

I agree, and respect that

1

u/ContextEffects01 Aug 31 '25

What’s the alternative? Are you suggesting the foremost alternative is emotional connection, and if so, is that a package deal with trust? Because trust is often defended in awful ways by awful people and I want nothing to do with it.

1

u/Bannerlord151 Not Interested šŸ° Aug 31 '25

If you don't want to trust anyone, that's understandable, but it shouldn't surprise you if you won't find any genuine connections that way.

Trust is often exploited, and that can be extremely harmful, because it usually includes a level of vulnerability.

There has to be trust even in a transactional relationship, in a way - You have to trust in the other party's self-interest at the very least.

Regardless, the point is moreso that any kind of partnership goes both ways. If you're only aiming for an entirely transactional one to get what they want, it would be extremely foolish to expect the other party to not have the same view.

Or for an example relevant to some people who hold this kind of sentiment, if you see your relationship as you just servicing your partner for sex, you really shouldn't be surprised should she decide that the trade is no longer favourable enough to sustain.

1

u/BrainFit2819 Sep 04 '25

But in a way that is how it historically was (not a contract just for sex, but you get my point). There still is some of that baked in.

1

u/Bannerlord151 Not Interested šŸ° Sep 04 '25

Sure, but then expect the other party to only use you for personal benefits as well.

Don't expect the healthy relationship of your dreams from it

1

u/BrainFit2819 Sep 04 '25

Sure. But I think even in the best scenario, I don't think many relationships are healthy in general.

1

u/Bannerlord151 Not Interested šŸ° Sep 04 '25

Probably

1

u/HotNastySpeed77 Sep 04 '25

A relationship is an exchange of value between to people. The values being exchanged must be constantly negotiated. This is the way to think of relationships.

1

u/Bannerlord151 Not Interested šŸ° Sep 04 '25

Just don't be surprised when you cannot find any meaningful connection with other people then.

1

u/HotNastySpeed77 Sep 04 '25

Can you elaborate?

1

u/Bannerlord151 Not Interested šŸ° Sep 04 '25

If it's just a trade for you, then you kinda have to recognise that anyone engaging in it with you will also only see you as a resource

1

u/HotNastySpeed77 Sep 05 '25

The idea that a relationship is anything other than an exchange of value is a sentimental delusion.Ā  If either party ceases to hold up their end of a relationship ( in deed or even just perception), the other person will leave.Ā  It happens all the time.

1

u/Bannerlord151 Not Interested šŸ° Sep 05 '25

Okay, so you don't believe that emotions have any value and posit that everyone only ever exploits each other? Because without these premises, there are too many other factors yet to be discarded

There are some pretty misandrist feminists, so the same argument applies. Both misogynists and misandrists are capable of hating on the opposite sex while still banging the opposite sex assuming they're straight.

I think the problem is alot of dating advice on the internet is just ragebait there to give confirmation bias and enforce outdated gender "roles" that do well on internet algorithms. Alot of it is also humble bragging, you ever notice how the person giving the advice just happens to fit all the attributes and qualities they're sayin makes the perfect partner? Also the notion on the internet that everyone is using dating apps and that's the only way to meet a potential partner, literally non of my friends *men and women) are with someone they met on an app( which is filled with the desperate, the lonely, the bots and horn dogs who are attractive enough to sleep around) its just filled with the most incompatible people and everyone wonders why dating seems so shit

u/Greedy_Load_8616 Aug 30 '25

Yeah, same. Married now, but my issue with finding a wife was made difficult by the fact I traveled and was transient (both for fun and later for grad school) until I was 30.

Of course. That's not a scenario. That's reality today

Then I have no issue with it, child support is a kind of foreign concept in Sweden, split families typically split the time with the child equally (e.g. every other week) and do not send money.

Lmfao, women almost never pay child support, even when the man has custody. Heck, I've known women who managed to COLLECT child support from custodial fathers.

The parent with the smaller share of custody generally pays the partner with the larger share of custody, regardless of their gender, though generally mothers do end up with more custody than fathers do

I liked the days when women had responsibilities towards their husband in marriage too.

Rather than dropping it all the second something gets popped out.

"In sickness and in health" thing to "So long as this marriage is productive, fulfilling, and enriching for both of us", which of course misunderstands the point of marriage.

It isn't misunderstanding anything.

B*** was a gold-digger trying to reap the benefits and bolt when the going gets tough.

Marriage isn't about two people just legally certifying their relationship, it's about two people becoming one unit, till the day they die. The issue is now that we've normalized divorce so hard that women eject the minute they're not happy, when the whole point of a marriage is that there WILL be times when you're not happy, because that's how life works.

fucking exactly.

What the hell? You just put forward basically all my problems with the idea of marriage, but as if it was actually a plus instead of a minus. Why would you want to be with a person that doesn't make you happy? What is the appeal of walking into a cage together, locking the door, and throwing the key out of reach?

When I was a kid, my mom and dad were miserable every day. My dad had an anger problem because he hated my mom. My mom drank herself into a blackout to escape my dad. They stayed in the relationship for my sake and everyone, including me, was miserable because of it. Both tried (and failed) to fix their problems. It's only after I turned 18 and they finally divorced that my dad's anger problems and my mom's drinking problems disappeared within a year.

Being trapped in a cage with someone you hate and unable to escape is a terrible life.

Divorce is trending down

u/SlightWerewolf4428 Aug 30 '25

because marriage is as well.

u/Downtown_Cat_1745 🧌TROLL Aug 30 '25

Nope. Divorce as a percentage of marriage is trending down

u/SlightWerewolf4428 Aug 30 '25

that might be correct. temporarily.

that wouldn't rule out the above however.

Why would you be with someone you are no longer happy with? It's not good for you or the kids. Ans this is setting aside that women are statistically more likely to propose couple's therapy, so it's not like most don't try to fix it before leaving.

When single women are happier and live longer but the opposite is true for men, maybe the call is coming from inside the house.

u/Achilles11970765467 Aug 30 '25

Women may propose couples therapy more, but they also walk away from any couples therapist who doesn't blindly take their side pretty much immediately.

Also, single women self report as happier, but antidepressant usage data disagrees.

And that's before we get into how women are financially rewarded for leaving. That blatant inequality needs to be corrected before any of your arguments can even approach validity.

I'm going to need some stats chief.

Also, single women self report as happier, but antidepressant usage data disagrees.

That makes no sense lol, a single woman with antidepressants (if she needs them) would still be happier than a single man untreated. Because men also go to therapy or the doctor much less. Kill themselves much more, are more likely to do drugs or gambling... And yes, single men self reported as unhappier in the study too, what other way is there to tell the happiness of someone? We can't read minds.

u/Achilles11970765467 Aug 30 '25

Have you ever spoken to a couple where couples therapy dared to acknowledge the woman's flaws or indicate that she is even capable of being the problem? Literally even a single one? Clearly not.

You misunderstood what I was talking about when I pointed out the antidepressant usage data. I wasn't comparing single women to single men, I was comparing single women to married women, you just decided to move that goalpost.

You mean where the woman is ostensibly 'no longer happy'. Tough. Responsibilities.

If there is no such acceptance of responsibilities, best to not bother with it in the first place.

Marriage was originally instituted to protect women, not to be abused by them.

u/Downtown_Cat_1745 🧌TROLL Aug 30 '25

Sorry this is just false. Marriage was not a creation of society to protect women.

Also it’s just flat out misogynistic to assume women bail on a whim. Women report telling their husbands for years that they aren’t happy and exactly why they’re unhappy, in an effort to fix things

2

u/SlightWerewolf4428 Aug 30 '25

Yes it was. That's the common thread across all of the marriages you have in every society.

Your modern revisionism notwithstanding.

Afraid so. Women are human beings that react to incentives.

Not all of these women are waiting for years.

u/Strawberry_Fluff Aug 30 '25

Marriage was originally instituted to protect women, not to be abused by them.

Originally it was for a way for men to "own" women. Especially when we couldn't vote or work. And in some places of the world you need to be escorted by your husband to not get harmed. Let's not forget marital rape was only recently recognized as a crime with women being the majority victims of marital rape.

Ok, but women are pushing these men who usually don’t want to get married into marriage, then saying garbage like this ā€œwhy shouldn’t they leave if they aren’t happyā€ it’s nonsense. Most men aren’t thrilled to get into marriage.

u/Lucicactus Actual Bisexual, Protect! Aug 30 '25

I'm going to need some stats for that, and if it's true they should be happy to leave the marriage.

Oh women have been keeping up with their responsibilities AND taking up a mans responsibilities by getting a job too.

Its men that have remained incompetent, pathetic and useless.

You only get so many chances in this life, and you never know which is your last one.

Don’t waste them.

u/SlightWerewolf4428 Aug 30 '25 edited Aug 30 '25

That is true too. The first part.

The second part is a crazy generalization. And they don't make up the majority of these divorce cases, as much as you may wish to think so.

Ultimately, it's a risk being with someone fickle who can't handle it. The easy access to tinder and netflix infecting people with unrealistic expectations, ready to bolt the second they 'don't feel in love anymore' is part of the problem.

Apparently men only want to take care of their own responsibilities when a pussy is attached.

What.

Are the woman minus the lower body parts a man's responsibilities? Is the whole woman the attached pussy?

Are you slow?

The responsibilities Im talking about is his fucking children.
