Exactly. As long as their need for you to be the most attractive man in the room is met, she will be loyal.Loyal as in will remain faithful as long as certain individual needs and criteria are met? Yes, these women exist in great numbers.

Ones attractiveness being subjective and variable from woman to woman of course.Exactly. As long as their need for you to be the most attractive man in the room is met, she will be loyal.
Part of this doesn't resonate.In your first post you asked if any woman would cheat, if the circumstances were right. That is not the same thing as saying all women WILL cheat. Though some women are more likely to cheat than others.
Women are humans, and no human is perfect. Given the right temptation and set of circumstances, she may well cheat. You could say the same of a man. There is no guarantee that any particular woman will remain loyal. She may intend to be loyal, but people change over time, and 10 years from now things may be different.
That's why I won't get married. Why put your life into the hands of someone else, when you can't be sure what they will do with it. IMO relationships have shelf lives. You should enjoy it as long as it survives, just as you care for and maintain your car as long as it lasts.
But I don't think you should enter into an exclusive relationship if you have no intention of being exclusive.
Exactly. And why would I or anyone want to invest, try to control (game) etc. a person who we believe isn't loyal in the first place? Unless we are needy, insecure, and need that validation from them. The person either is or isn't faithful. I for one ain't going insane with worry let alone trying to control them. I could know everything there is to know and someone could cheat on me regardless. I have no desire to waste time better spent on trying to control "fix" etc. that person. Only control myself and leave without a trace never to return but learn and grow going forward.9Volt, it's interesting that you bring up control, investing time and effort as well as validation. So perhaps for the sake of discussion, a successful DJ realizes all these things, that people can be fleeting... so perhaps... it is best to remain detached with emotions in check. We can't control the loyalty of others.
Regardless of gender, we have independent minds and free will. If we don't agree with a social contract and fail to compromise or reconcile, there's always the door.
We can't stop living and experiencing life believing that the idea that someone will develop multiple relationships outside an "exclusive" relationship. It's a self-fulfilling prophesy. I think regardless of the way events take shape, it's best to continue living life and pursuing our own passions with our self-respect at the helm.

We can only control our emotions, actions, and hopefully gather the wisdom to know the difference through past mistakes or the lessons learned vicariously through others.
We can however influence others by leading by example, but I believe that's the extent of it.
Sounds like you've signed business contracts. In business, you can NEVER go into an agreement based on faith. You can NEVER say "I know they would never do that" because once they do it, it's too late and all you have is the contract. Marriage is simply a terrible contract for a man, underwritten by shameless beta orbiters "to compete".Why bother with exclusivity in the first place if there is a possibility (no matter how remote) that you think she may/will cheat? This is akin to entering a contract of time, money, attention, and resources with the possibility that the other party will not perform. Why would I willingly enter such a contract? That's a stupid business decision.
If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.
Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.
This will quickly drive all women away from you.
And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.
The difference is doing it for yourself. NOT for the "woman's" sake or "exclusivities" sake.Part of this doesn't resonate.
I'm human, as you say. Under the right condition, circumstance, and emotion--if I am in an exclusive relation--I won't cheat.

This is akin to entering a contract of time, money, attention, and resources with the possibility that the other party will not perform. Why would I willingly enter such a contract? That's a stupid business decision. Better not to enter the contract at all.
As to others who mention the word "contrtakol." News for your pal: Exclusivity is control. It's control of acceding not to entertain your other options--no matter how much you may desire to. I'm controlled--and so is she. Welcome to contracts.
This all seems so sensible and rational, yet at the level of a relationship something seems to be missing.9Volt, it's interesting that you bring up control, investing time and effort as well as validation.

So much for your 750k/yr or is it 75k/yr? If you enter a contract, and the other party does not perform, you sue the other part for performance and collect. Hopefully, you are smart enough to enter contract with a solvent party.Sounds like you've signed business contracts. In business, you can NEVER go into an agreement based on faith.

Perhaps, you don't understand what a contract and performance are. Friendship is not a contract. Exclusivity (solicited by her originally), where you forego all your other options, is.Friends are generous with me. They don't do things expecting them back. I give back regardless. Neither is doing so to get brownie points or feel something is "owed" in return.
So your relationships are all business.Perhaps, you don't understand what a contract and performance are. Friendship is not a contract. Exclusivity (solicited by her originally), where you forego all your other options, is.
Yup, as is anything that requires my time, attention, and resources.So your relationships are all business.
Huh? Wait, you think my experience signing million dollar contracts in the 1990's (when I founded my company and became a self made Millionaire, owning 40% of a company evaluated at $10M by investors) means I don't make that much now?So much for your 750k/yr or is it 75k/yr?
Same could be said with friends.Yup, as is anything that requires my time, attention, and resources.
My point being that if you enter an exclusive contract, enter it as you believe you and she will perform--or don't enter it at all. And if she doesn't perform, then you made a bad business decision. Vet better next time.
You don't work 7 days a week, right? Let's do simple math:Huh? Wait, you think my experience signing million dollar contracts in the 1990's means I don't make that much now?
You still can't believe I make that much? Wow, you must not make that much. I'm flattered that you find it impossible to believe.
For those interested in how to make that much: I have 3 contracts (no NDA's). They pay $85 an hour, $80 and hour, and $75 an hour, 40 hours per week (1099 Corp to Corp). That's $240 an hour or $1920 per day. Since I'm paid Corp to Corp, I take home the whole thing and might pay 10% tax after expenses, or about $1750 per day.
If you make $750,000 salary (top .1%) you are in the 45% tax bracket, taking home $1650 per day (with 2 weeks vacation).
Maybe legend will break his salary down now?
First of all, readers will probably chuckle at this person saying I "only" make $455,000 per year. Especially after coming up with $75,000. Notice legend multiplies my post tax number of $1750 and then compares it to a pre tax number (that should be 45% less)? This is the type of deception a lot of people use, especially Liberals.You don't work 7 days a week, right? Let's do simple math:
$1,750 * 5 (days per week) * 52 (assuming you have no vacations and are contracted 52 weeks a year) = $455,000 per year, S/E income.
Piker! Get your numbers up. Yes, I make more than you. Hit the search button if you want to know.
Now, we know you really make 75k/yr. You don't prorate S/E income based on a ghost tax IF you were a W2. Idiot. Your GI is your GI. Get your numbers up piker.First of all, readers will probably chuckle at this person saying I "only" make $455,000 per year. Especially after coming up with $75,000. Notice legend uses my post tax number but then compares it to a pre tax number? This is the type of deception a lot of people use.
And anyone smart at math or business (or can read my previous post) knows we have this TEENSY FACTOR CALLED INCOME TAX.
If you make $750,000 a year salary, you take home how much? $412,000 per year (45% tax bracket).
To summarize: 90% of $1920 per day ($1728) > 55% of $3000 per day ($1650).
Meanwhile, legend doesn't tell us what s/he makes but gives a homework assignment?
WINNER! Dumbest comment on SS. W2's can't deduct expenses and can only work for one company. 1099 can in theory invest all the money and pay no taxes along with infinite number of contracts.Now, we know you really make 75k/yr. You don't prorate S/E income based on a ghost tax IF you were a W2. Idiot. Your GI is your GI. Get your numbers up piker.
Now you make the equivalent? LOL!WINNER! Dumbest comment on SS.

I said I make the equivalent of $750,000 salary. I actually make more than that.
Legend, tell us: how much does someone making $750,000 per year take home after taxes per day?
Still won't tell us that you make $76,000 per year W2?
