Funny some of you guys are the same guys who said 'not all women' are like that in another thread but yet here you say they're all like that. Regardless, I just don't see this in real life in my circle, this just seems like a fantasy world you guys have created for yourselves where women are these alien beings hunting and discarding males for survival and breeding. The real life is full of stories that say otherwise.
As I said and to an extent you agree that not all women can pull the 'top alpha' males so they settle...well that goes for both genders. I can't pull a HB10 so sure I settle for a HB7 or HB8 but in reality it's how the world works. It's like saying I can't afford a $5MM McMansion so I settle for $1MM house. It's not really settling, it's being realistic.
I think what you guys are also missing is the fact that life is not about gaming and pumping and dumping, life is so much more grander that you're missing some amazing opportunities because you have such mistrust of women.
Look I know I'm not going to change anyone's mind as anyone's going to change mine but I've been on both sides of the table and I prefer having LTRs with women who are not only my league but slightly lower because they will go to great lengths to make me happy, be submissive etc and I continue to work on my purpose, goals and enjoy life that involves traveling, sharing romantic moments in my vacation cottage while it's snowing outside etc. If she dumps me and moves on so be it, nothing I can really do about that. It's like that movie Daddy's home, the next guy that shows up is even a bigger alpha than Brad Pitt...so you can't really do anything about that but enjoy what you can while you can before you're lying 6 ft underground.
