Who said LTR's had to be monogamous arrangements?They are not natural and science supports this. It is not natural for humans to be monogamous.

Not having a moral compass doesn't make someone an "alpha" it's just makes one a sociopath.Society needs betas to fall in line and be "good men". Being a good man doesn't make you alpha. Having morals doesn't make you alpha either. Power makes you alpha. Freedom makes you alpha.
If you define yourself by rules that don't benefit you.. you are beta.
Of course LTRs natural. You'd have to be a blogger with an agenda to claim they're not. Humans are naturally intelligent and adaptive - we use different mating strategies - that's why we're the dominant species on the planet! Humans don't have to stay in the jungle and swing from trees, we have too many skills and abilities.Mr Wright said:So LTR's are not only natural but they are absolutely vital for the spread of the alpha gene in the human race. Without LTR's we probably wouldn't have survived climatic events such as the ice age and we'd be looking at a very different picture today. So yes, natural but not life long pair bonding.
And that's a good point as well. Many of the Biblical patriarchs were polygamists.Blusher said:Who said LTR's had to be monogamous arrangements?
I disagree. GIVEN THE CHOICE, many men choose monogamous relationships, or to stay with the mother of their children to protect the nest, on their own, without societal pressures. This has happened repeatedly, naturally, in many different settings. I agree that LIFELONG monogamy is not natural for most.MidnightCity said:yes humans can adapt and even betas can find ways to attempt to undermine hypergamy and secure a mate for the long haul (marriage, religion) but GIVEN THE CHOICE, most men would naturally (as you yourself admitted several times) prefer to have multiple mates. so if we can agree that the biological default of men is to spread their seed without investing too much of themselves into one mate, we can argue that long term monogamous relationships are NOT natural
True but with society today you have guys with good genes clinging and getting heartbroken by women who aren't even in the same area code as them, in terms of attractiveness. I know guys who could be male models who are with average looking women, and get played by these average looking women. There is also evidence that dumber men are more likely to cheat.Poon King said:They are not natural and science supports this. It is not natural for humans to be monogamous. Staying to raise a child has more to do with the child and less to do with the relationship between the male and female.
Humans do what they believe to be beneficial to them.. natural or not.
Humans have done many unnatural behaviors for thousands of years now. But they are still unnatural. Do you think building the pyramids was natural just because it was done by ancient humans? Because that seems to be the argument most of you provide... that just because it happened "long ago" it is automatically natural.
Alphas have never committed to women long-term as long as human history goes back. Only betas. Alphas have always f*cked multiple women. Always.
Yeah? And there is evidence that smarter men are more likely to never commit in the first place. Most of the people who advanced humanity the most were people who avoided commitment to women:captain55 said:True but with society today you have guys with good genes clinging and getting heartbroken by women who aren't even in the same area code as them, in terms of attractiveness.

Human beings are social animals. I agree remaining monogamous with a woman is beta as ****, but wanting companionship and something more than sex is not. I'm friends with a retired professional MLB player, the guy is worth millions and has banged Victoria secret models but still is unhappy because he has no wife/family and has had so few meaningful relationships due to the lifestyle of being a professional athlete and still talks about how he wishes he married his high school sweet heart. Guy can have any woman on the planet....so there goes your theory.Poon King said:Yeah? And there is evidence that smarter men are more likely to never commit in the first place.

Galileo Galilei, Nikola Tesla, Isaac Newton, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Beethoven, all lifetime bachelors.
So there goes that argument. :crackup:
Only betas look for happiness from things OUTSIDE themselves (women). Anyone who wants to be a co-dependent beta is free to do it. Just don't call yourself "alpha" because you're not.
Since when are all MLB players alpha?captain55 said:Human beings are social animals.

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.

Males like us would not think twice of commiting to such b1tchs because we know the many advantages we have from fvcking about and living a bachelor life that married/girlfriend life cannot compare to.
It takes a deep gulp of the red pill to understand that- nothing you can read or hear can make you fully swallow the red pill only pure experience.
These particular brand of beta retards have to conform to society as it needs some of us to be that way.

Alphas are not in abundance as you think. The majority of people are averagePoon King said:Women f*ck alphas on the side any chance they get..
Why? Don't you have the value to keep her long term? Are you unable to replace one women for another? You guys are making it more difficult than it is making women more powerful than you.Danger said:but in today's society it makes less and less sense to commit to a woman.
So you believe only attractive women cheat?Leif_Johnson said:Alphas are not in abundance as you think. The majority of people are average to below average looking. No below average looking woman will ever have sex with an alpha. She will be happy with the plumber she is with.
Why should a man keep a woman long-term? Take kids out of the equation and list 5 reasons.Leif_Johnson said:Why? Don't you have the value to keep her long term? Are you unable to replace one women for another? You guys are making it more difficult than it is making women more powerful than you.
If he meant marriage was unnatural then he should say that. But that isn't what he said. If he wants to say it's best not to commit to a woman, I have no problem with that. If he wants to say relationships are just for betas, I won't even quibble with that (I may not necessarily agree, but I would let it pass).Danger said:But perhaps Poon was thinking of marriage as an LTR and thus saying it was unnatural?
This is why I am saying that before you two get into an argument, it is best to define what is meant by LTR.
I can certainly understand the argument that marriage is not natural, but if an LTR is defined as say five years then that could be argued as natural so that the children can survive. Additionally, another great point was made about LTR's do not necessary mean monogamous.
Ultimately the message Poon is trying to convey is to just not commit. We may disagree on how he got there, but in today's society it makes less and less sense to commit to a woman.
Danger.. as usual you are correct. But zekko doesn't like to read so he missed all the parts of the thread where I clarity what I mean by LTR.Danger said:But the statement that LTRs are unnatural is true from the perspective that LTR's to someone means marriage, or more than 20 years together, or more than 4 years together.
My point is that you are pushing back in the same manner in which Poon made a mistake, but not defining LTR to begin with.
You are speaking past eachother because of a simple definition issue. You two may actually agree 90% if you both agreed anything longer than 5 years is an LTR.
I don't know what fairy tale world you and some guys are living are living in but in the REAL world, You can not treat some 9/10 like ****, play games with her ass, and expect to keep her around unless your one of the top guys yourself. the most beautiful women date down for a reason and that's to avoid the bull**** the top players come with, to avoid being cheated on etc. IF an average guy (and most guys on this forum are average I imagine) did the things many on this forum suggest they would be laughed out of the ballpark by a truly beautiful woman.Firestar786 said:The truth is p00n king, let the beta comments keep on coming because you know they're the ones who are gonna commit to women FULL TERM, and their wives/gf's are gonna F*ck alphas like us.

Take away the requirement that every woman you f*ck be a 9/10 (which is supermodel, movie star, celebrity hot) and your argument totally falls apart.captain55 said:I don't know what fairy tale world you and some guys are living are living in but in the REAL world, You can not treat some 9/10 like ****, play games with her ass, and expect to keep her around unless your one of the top guys yourself. the most beautiful women date down for a reason and that's to avoid the bull**** the top players come with, to avoid being cheated on etc. IF an average guy (and most guys on this forum are average I imagine) did the things many on this forum suggest they would be laughed out of the ballpark by a truly beautiful woman.
As for the quote I bolded, again only the top 5-10% of dudes can pull quality tail all the time being single unless you have a lot of time on your hands. . An average single guy should be trying to get a girlfriend, it's the best way to increase status.
It does take a certain amount of value to keep a woman when she knows you will not marry you. Women grow up expecting to have children and get married (not necessarily in that order these days). So she has to think more highly of you than the idea of getting married, no small task! My girlfriend would love to get married to me, but she knows I won't. She has to value me a great deal in order to accept this arrangement.Danger said:I have enough value to keep my woman interested in me despite my saying no to her wanting to get married (note my definition of LTR is marriage).
