Usually when I get up every day to prepare for work I'll sit at my home computer and read some news articles while eating breakfast.

I happened to click on an article which linked to Good Housekeeping (I am NOT going to bother linking to this piece of sh!t so dont ask). The article talked about a woman who was early-mid 40s and had been married for about 20 years I think. She and her husband did not have kids. It seemed to allude that the husband didn't want kids but really didn't go into too much detail. The woman wanted an open marriage and got it. Her reasoning was that since she could not channel some form of passion in her life through children then she wanted that passion through sex. Sex with her husband was dull and bland apparently. So she got an apartment and stayed there 5 days a week and came home to the husband on the weekends.

She apparently was loving it for about a year, but then the arrangement was that after that year she had to move back to the house full-time with the husband and of course she didn't want to do that. She was also somewhat "disappointed" because the hubby was now spending more relationship time with one other woman he had met. Ultimately this woman ended up staying with one of the men she was f*cking.

We all know this is just a woman getting a fill of riding the c*ck carousel a little later in life. Overall the article had a feel of quiet endorsement of this woman's activities (You go girl!) just by how it was written and the fact it was published.


I am not the oldest member on here but I can remember when i was a kid and for a few years my mom was a stay-at-home mother, so back then of course she had her usual soap operas and talk shows she would watch. I could never tell which ones were re-runs or new ones but I do remember a time when one talk show host in particular had John Denver on the show and people in the audience were there asking them for tips on how he and his wife were able to make their marriage work so well. This was of course before he got divorced but at the time a lot of people looked up to them as a sort of model. The fact that people were seriously trying to make an effort based on Denver and his wife says a lot.

Compare both of these. At one time we have people genuinely interested in trying to work harder on their marriage versus today a woman just saying f*ck this marriage, I want new c0ck. It really is a pretty sad state of affairs in our country today.


I know that on this forum we look to expose the lies and manipulation that women engage in, but the reflection also has to be on ourselves. Feminism would never have this much power today if men hadn't simply rolled over and gone along with it. The change has to start with us.

I usually don't get upset at women anymore, and this only started happening recently. Of course, we should always hold them accountable for their actions, but to give off any sort of emotions is just a waste of time. Nowadays, I sort of see it as "that's what they do. They're women." Women are capable of being c*ck-riding slvts and men are capable of being ch0des. When I see such sad betas, I'll usually just gracefully bow out of being a WK for them. It's just not worth it. The ch0de/AW/slvt culture is too strong. Might as well ignore these people like potholes and keep my eyes open for any feminine women that may show up.

Someone here posted that women have a need to be dominated. This was always an intuitive thing for me, even as a young kid. I always had the gut feeling that if I'm not leading the girl, she isn't getting the tingles. I grew up to believe that men were hardwired to take the lead.

My question is, how can there be such a great shift in the culture of men in just a few years? Maybe it's because we rationalize why we should always settle for less. Dudes who aren't getting any have a hard time blaming themselves and their lack of social skills. So of course, they'll blame everything else, which is what leads them to the path of liberal safe-space virgin. Deep down inside, it has to hurt when you're cuckolded. But instead of facing the problem head on, betas take the side path and find a reason to stay with a sl*t.

In my opinion, the very very worst type of man is a cuckold. If I had to choose between the two, I'd rather be on a 5-year dry spell.

You're right. The change has to start with us. We need men to be patient and humble enough to really look into themselves and understand why they let themselves be abused. It's hard for people to admit the real reason why they're having problems. People would rather rationalize instead of admitting that they're socially awkward. I have much respect for socially awkward people who know they are socially awkward and can admit that's why they can't get women. At least they speak the truth. The alternative is that they become white knights and alpha male haters. Natural jealousy.

One of the reasons why another paradigm shift back to reality is difficult is because for the majority of men, it's too late. Betas will raise their sons to be betas, and their daughters to be AWs (not on purpose, but because of a lack of leadership and enforcement of standards). Or even worse, children will be raised by single mothers. Mix in today's music and you get a recipe for future adults with no standards.

Well, at least they didn't have any kids. This shows one of the pitfalls of the open marriage. The wife thought she wanted an open marriage, but then she got upset when her husband got close to another woman.

As for an endorsement of the wife's activities, check out the "Should married men spin plates?" thread on the general forum. A lot of guys here think it is practically a husband's responsibility to keep at least one mistress. The manosphere cheers the cheaters on just as much as (or more than) the women do.

I don't think there is anything wrong with open relationships, or even marriages. The problems come when a couple is not on the same page. Marriage is a contract. Whatever the terms are, they should apply equally to both sides. The problems come when they are not, or at least one side feels like they are not.

Most marriages I see end with the man cheating...because the wife got fat and stopped putting out. The man sees the lack of sex as violation of the contract, so he feels ok with violating it himself. Trying to point out the bad one versus the good one here is pointless. The wife will say the husband never tried to make her feel sexy or wanted, and blame her lack of drive on him.

Sounds like the same thing as this blog entry Rollo made a while ago.

Disgusting.

Wow that actually does look to be the same article. WTF? Did Good Housekeeping simply decide to re-run this story and act like it's something new that some female reader sent in? If so, that's even more disgusting on the part of the magazine. I remember when Good Housekeeping actually had tips that were useful for stay-at-home moms who worked on keeping the household running well while the husband was out working. But now this what it's turned to.
