If so many women complain that they can't find no man, does that mean that feminism, especially the sexual revolution, destroyed any chances most women have to get a man to commit?

sexually degenerate WOMEN destroyed any chances of getting a good man. typical women blaming an ideology rather than their actions.

>why won't good men marry me after I've fucked every dick around.
it's almost like that's been a matter of contention since the beginning of time.

Yeah, but there is more pressure now than ever for men to commit to sluts. Western society destroyed marriage and all the old traditions step by step, and now young men are blamed for simply being born into all of this.

It's a bad thing when I come regularly come across women complaining that they can't find no man and I'm not even trying to look for women complaining about that.

>If so many women complain that they can't find no man, does that mean that feminism, especially the sexual revolution, destroyed any chances most women have to get a man to commit?
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: very yes.

I get the "why aren't you married yet" bs all the time. I just ask "to who?! every girl is a degenerate" and they rarely have a rebuttal other than "well what do you want, a 12 year old virgin". No just an 18 - 21 year old virgin like every man expected since. If they don't exist than I don't give a fuck about saving anything.

they think I'll be pressured into saving some reformed slut if they give me even more stats about how degenerate women are later in life lol. ohh so I should be thankful she's only had 12 partners and been smoking since 14.

Until women are publicly executed for adultery we are never going to fix a thing

No hymen, no diamond, senpai.

The likelihood of negative relationship outcomes jumps significantly when going from zero to even 1 previous partner. Serial monogamists are still used goods and just as bad as whores dabbling in one night stands.

i think we should all start buying stock in cat food. all these parasitic whores turn into psycho sjw cat ladies who are 35 and not married. there's no saving them.

The pill did it. No pill, no consequences for sex.

Now more girls put out. So Sally must put out, or no boyfriend.

She goes from guy to guy, hoping she can catch one with her beaver, but guys rarely get caught that way anymore.

The guy she wouldn't settle for 5 years ago is too high up the food chain for her, now, because nature still rules, and her beauty and fertility are much more important to many males than her education or earning power.

So, now she's 40, no husband, no kids, and nobody willing to put up with her bullshit to get into her panties, anymore.

All because the guys who would fuck her saw her as too low on their scale to marry, and the guys who would seriously date her? She thought they were beneath her because of the guys who were willing to fuck her.

it's not even about being virgins, but you've got these 10 partner count women giving me the "it's before I knew you" shit. Bitch you should have expected me or lived like you'd meet me one day. dropped

exhibit A

exhibit B.

"whaaaaaaa i've been sucking random cocks for 20 years, why won't anyone marry meeeeeeeee"

fuck these stupid bitches.

You shouldn't feel ashamed about wanting a virgin. What's the worst people can do, disagree with you online? Insult with words or memes? That's happened to me thousands upon thousands of times and it doesn't matter.

Wouldn't settle? Take off that makeup, and stand naked in front of the mirror.

What do you look like, really?

Now try to imagine how a male version of you would look. That's it; that's your level. Unless you bring something else to the equation, that's your level.

haha wow, females suck at aging

BOO FUCKING HOO CRY ME A RIVER, WHORE

Perhaps most people who strive for utopia don't anticipate that other people will adapt to that utopia, if they are made to be a victim of it.

that's alot of the problem. and it's because of shit like Tinder and the other dating apps. these dumb whores can log on to them anytime and have literally thousands of guys trying to hook up with them. their ego's are inflated beyond belief because it gives them a false sense of desirability. so average to even really good looking guys get the shaft. they want nothing but models and millionaires becuase they think they have unlimited options. combine that with all their makeup, instagram filters, and other ego driven narcissistic bullshit and you have a whore who fucks random people wanting no consequence, and then still expects to be whisked away to be a princess with a mansion and kids and some guy paying for all her shit.

Yes the social engineering against women destroyed them. Women were told the true secret to happiness is to be like men. To get careers. To forgo relationships.

Completely ignoring the fact that a high majority of men who are alone and don't have a wife and kids are famous for being depressed and suicidal. Men are fine with working hard in a career if it means working for something. For their children, for their wife.

My experience? Women are evil.

Find a religious one that wants kids. Dump them at the first sign of trouble.

disgusting women literally calling a young decent looking doctor 'average'.

these whores literally want better than this guy.

no I'm proud of my stance and most of the comments I made were about irl family and friends telling me. They're trying to set me up with all the left over girls because "well what do you want" exaggerations, muh 12 year old. I've dated and been in many* exclusive relationships so it's clear who has the final say on what is acceptable (never sexually active other than 1 who was herself a V but I can't get into why it didn't result in marriage after we both wanted marriage and agreed to it)
It's depressing seeing all the 28-30 year olds trying so hard now. They think if they're nice and sweet I'll forgive their past. I can't, it's really that simple. But the good part is that after we break up they get married within a year (happened with 3 exs)

What the fuck is the backstory for this pic?

I'm actually fucking rustled, this dude looks like a Disney prince...what the fuck?

>Those comments

wew

It's not a good thing at all when sluts have to settle with cucks. They never respect the cucks, but then again, men don't respect sluts either.

The pharmaceutical companies who make antidepressants are the money makers. Turn on the tv and watch the commercials during the 6:30 shows like "world news tonight" . I'm serious, every commercial is about antidepressants (because their audience is late 30's and 40's women)

Once you get the taste of variety the quote "variety is the spice of life" becomes required.

direct link to the FB post. lots of lulzworthy shit in the comments.

Whole lotta jelly in those comments.

>If so many women complain that they can't find no man
This must be some city thing

it also proves the point that if you're on some shitty daitng app, even alladin the doctor over there will still get shit on. if you never get replies, its because these girls expectations are outrageously unrealistic.

>When you look average
>have desirable traits such as blond hair, blue eyes and 6 feet tall
"Sorry I want attractive men"
> she's at most a 5

>cucks rescuing degenerates
It's not a good thing but at least they never have more than 1 kid (what I refer to as the relationship anchor baby). I'm debating moving to Europe or waiting a few more years for the next generation of women to role through hoping they learned from their older sister what mistakes to avoid making.

Your post especially the part about Europe sent memories rushing back to me about how naive I was about women when I was a teenager. Probably because I knew a guy who tried that about 9 years ago now and he got cucked hard. She seemed great but she was a huge slut.

i don't watch regular tv but i can believe it. one of the reasons i'm so passionate about this subject is because i have 2 old close friends who are now roasties facing the same shit.

one is 35 and she's been crying since she was in her late 20's that she wants to get married and have a family. but she also spent literally 20 years of her life sucking random cocks, getting boob jobs, blowing random guys in the bathrooms at bars, etc. she now owns a dog and lives alone.

the other one is 33 started sleeping around hardcore in her late teens, started fucking niggers because she thought it was cool. instant herpes infection. she hit the wall at 30 after realizing no one wants a herpes ridden coalburner to start a new life in another state. 'clean slate' style. women will do this. they will uproot themselves to go to a location where they 'dont have a bad name' and try to do the same shit all over again. little do they know, all their shit follows them and everyone is socially interconnected now. girls used to be able to get away with that re-inventing themself shit 20 years ago, but not now. she is currently living alone 1,500 miles away and has a cat and pops xanax like candy.

there is no saving them. all their posts are 'why can't i find a good man' on their FB feeds. all i can do is watch their life crumble. i'm assuming the xanax addict girl is going to neck herself anytime now. she's just a psycho case. this is the fate of any girl who thinks 'sexual liberation' is fun.

they don't want him "publicly" because they know it's highly unlikely. They have two benefits to talk shit publicly about men.
>they give the appearance of having "standards"
>they lower a mans social and sexual value (giving women higher currency)
If this guy was 1 on 1 or 2 with any of those women they'd be running their charm game on him so fast.

The only true form of "Sub-Human" is a female.

They are demons that Man must strive to replace and eliminate for our species to overcome all of our problems.

Giving women the right to vote was when western civilization sealed its fate to collapse at the hands of virtue signaling, enabling systematic invasion.

Just look at how the reaction to terrorist attacks is always to bring in more potential terrorists by all the braindead SJW women.

It is the final form of selfish "look at how nice I am" narcissism.

The only thing that can be done is pray that history doesn't repeat itself and they are never given rights again.

Thankfully the Sharia Law that SJWs champion so dearly may enable the new civilization they create to flourish as subhumans will be where they belong.

oh you know it. all these bitches want is a meal ticket. free shit. resources. a guy they can show off and brag about to their whore girlfriends.

the sad thing is, i see so many guys get roped in by these venus flytraps we're calling women, only to get abused, cucked, and face your typical divorce fraud bullshit situation. the reason for this is because these whores can't stop being whores. they could have it all, but they'll still be sneaking txt messages to chad. then the marriage falls apart and she ends up with half his shit that she didn't earn, and then gets alimony payments to further fund her cock gobbling romps.

when are we gonna rise up and put an and to this shit already?

I'm definitely not talking about Eastern or central Europe, I know how they operate and what their intentions are. I'm talking about Western Europe and Scandinavia. Yes I'm very aware of the memes lol and how it sounded like a joke but hear me out. Seriously, some of them live in rural and small communities so the social pressure is there. Even though I don't look any different than the local males I think being raised in the US would create just enough of a "different" factor.
Almost all the European males in my city are happily married with kids to European women. I'm not religious so there's that to factor into everything.

good

I now realize why women are so reluctant to give out their full name. to avoid internet searches and seeing the truth. I've had girls that wouldn't give me their last name even though we were dating for a month lmao. which was confusing because they also wanted to sleep around after each date (I didn't and that pissed them off lol). I eventually managed to say something about "I accept you" and sure enough they had instagram accounts with 95% male followers lol, just image the private accounts. I just quietly said, I'm looking for a wife and I don't think you can make the changes necessary for me.

It's really the role of other women to raise them to value what men value in them. (chastity and virtue)
Moms are the reason girls have no sense of direction. They are the ones always giving girls the impression that mistakes have no consequences. When the fathers constantly get counter signalled by wife it gives girls the impression they'll get away with it too

were she fatter she'd be the archetype of an ugly british woman

Why in the world would any decent man want to commit himself to a prostitute that puts out for a couple of drinks and a well off image?


In this case I'd rather marry a porn star or an elite hooker.

At least they value themselves higher.

He actually looks like an Emergency doctor, or trauma specialist. If this is the case, he is a leader in his field and a decent bloke I should think.

The only power a woman has is the power you GIVE THEM over you.
Once you have swallowed that red pill you become 'Chad'.

Playing around till 30something certainly hurts their chances of getting in a stable long term relationship. But Is it really a majority that still want to be in a long term relationship with a man.

Plus, I don't think many woman believe there's a causal relationship between playing around and being single at 40. Plus being a woman, alone and 40 doesn't put their survival in jeopardy like it has in most of history.

You end it by refusing to play 'their' game.
"Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another".
HL Mencken

Video games are more entertaining than women.

Marriage (at least in Western countries like mine) is a fool's errand. Here post maybe 1970, any Man who got married is a fuckin dumb asshole (myself included)

Source: Me and every other married guy I know.

A lot of guys refuse to play 'their' game. But then Sup Forums and fem sites all sperg out and try to socially shame young men back into serving women.

>man wants two things in life, danger and play.
>That's why he should get himself a woman, the most dangerous plaything to ever exist.

what questions would you recommend perspective husbands ask their potential wife?
I already have a really good sense but I've never been married so what changes in women?

I can understand the woman writing that. The pictures of this woman do look creepy.

The impression they give from "traditional housewifes" are like a mixture of all the adds of the 50s. Unrealistic and but the facade of true life. Everybody knows that the backside of the billboard is empty and so is the life behind these sceneries.

Look at this one scene. A woman in perfect, professional makeup with a senseous look on her face is putting on the frosting on an unreasonable ornate cake, while fresh white flowers, matching her dress and pearl necklace of course are placed in two vases in the background. She is aglow with lightning from behind, just soft enough that this woman seems to glow from her own radiance.

Guys,the 50s weren't a good time. Oh, they were better than the fourties. But many families were very troubled back then. Men came back shell shocked, substance abuse and spousal abuse ran high and social frictions began to form in society. People wwanted desperately to appear normal and perfect and healthy and happy to the outside. Thus all these commercials were made. You and this woman both only remember the deceitful billboards yet not the lies behind them.

Dude...it isn't Chinese algebra, just don't get fuckin married. Live YOUR life, enjoy YOUR life...that doesn't mean you go Wizard mode, you just fuck women until it doesn't work anymore or you can't stand each other then find a new woman to fuck. You maintain your residence, your lifestyle, your finances, your identity.

Marriage (as a lot of dumb people idealize it to be) went extinct around the mid to late 60's...

...

Muslims have it right then I guess

it is mostly, in my experience more rural girls don't use contraception nearly as much and end up with a kid early on

Only 25+ women who realize their time is running out and they sucked 20 too many cocks say this. The young ones still have their idiot pride about the desirability of their precious cunt, all the attention they're getting, and "having fun" (blowing random dudes and niggers each week).

checked

>It's not a good thing at all when sluts have to settle with cucks. They never respect the cucks, but then again, men don't respect sluts either.
this is why it has been normal in most societies to teach boys how to be strong and aggressive, to fight or play sports, because it ensures they aren't fairies and wets panties

and why girls were told the most important thing when they are young is saving their virtue for their husband

the only equilibrium in sexual politics that makes any fucking sense

I know what you mean about the billboards.

Though the play "Long Day's Journey into Night" is set earlier than the 50's, it's what my mind turns to. People have always suffered and struggled, it was simply less ok to show it then.

that's not who I am. I want what I've always wanted and will always want. An honest and non degenerate woman I can marry and raise a family with. I know eventually I'll find her and everything will have been worth it. I've had it come so close once before but ultimately it was out of our control.
You don't sound like the type of guy who should be giving marriage advice (I misunderstood your values)

sleeping around serially with one woman after another is exactly what Jews want, broken families and fewer white children while everyone struggles to have their basic needs met so they can't organize any further to oppose the kikes

this "enjoy the decline" bullshit is playing right into their grimy hands

What a dumb woman. Good riddance

You'll be standing on the edge of the cliff you want to jump off but can't (Kids, family, house etc etc) just like every other married guy. Cap this.

my honor is my loyalty

>The only thing that can be done is pray that history doesn't repeat itself and they are never given rights again.
It does repeat itself.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_ancient_Sparta
"Spartan women were famous in ancient Greece for having more freedom than elsewhere in the Greek world. To contemporaries outside of Sparta, Spartan women had a reputation for promiscuity and controlling their husbands. Unlike their Athenian counterparts, Spartan women could legally own property and inherit, and were better educated.

Our knowledge of the lives of women in Sparta is limited, however, and frequently rests on conjecture, as the written sources we have are limited and from a largely non-Spartan viewpoint. As Anton Powell puts it, to say that the written sources are "'not without problems'... as an understatement would be hard to beat"

ancient.eu/article/123/
"The Women of Sparta: Athletic, Educated, and Outspoken Radicals"

"When Sparta deteriorated in the 4th century BC, their fall from grace was blamed in part on the inclusion of their women in public life, their ability to own land, and thus their supposed ability to exert a certain amount of power over their men. It seems that the general consensus was, if you gave a Greek woman an inch, she would take a mile."

Yes and no. It depends why and how past relationships are _past_ relationships. Most people, I found out, usually have to go through one or a few and fail miserably before they learn how to be a decent partner, adjust their expectations and preconceptions. I know that by myself - some relationships with women I had in the past were a bittersweet thing and I am single now but I've learned some important stuff about myself and women I probably wouldn't learn otherwise and some of it made me a better person. Practical experience.

Pictures like that are the only place now you can see honor and loyalty in a woman.

you're just butthurt because the girls that put out aren't doing it with you.
>b-but im saving myself for a strong and aryan marriage!

>The only thing that can be done is pray that history doesn't repeat itself and they are never given rights again.

womenintheancientworld.com/patriapotestas.htm

"Throughout the ancient world, then, the father was the theoretical head of the house. The Romans carried this one step beyond any other society and gave him, as paterfamilias, full legal authority, potestas, over the rest of the family, including adult children. When a woman married in the early Republic she left the authority of her father and entered into the manus of her husband, occupying a place in her new home close to that of a daughter. [1] A first century jurist recounts the story of a man in the early days of the Republic beating his wife to death because she had drunk some wine. His neighbors approved."
And as time goes by women gain power. From same article.
"Even as the Republic drew to a close more and more Romans were questioning the argument that women were too capricious and impulsive to be safely allowed to look out for their own best interests and many wondered if perhaps it was time to get rid of laws that were clearly based on a false premise."
"All of this, of course, meant very little to the woman who had no money anyway, nor did it make a difference for the young women whose fathers were still alive, and the regulations that kept women out of government remained in place, but those few women who did inherit money were better able to live life on their own terms than their ancestors ever dreamt possible. Women were perhaps on a path to a hitherto unimaginable degree of equality until the rise of Christianity with its objection to divorce and its exhortation that wives should obey their husbands."

Let's be honest anons.

Having information is the first step to avoiding common pitfalls. So No hymen, no diamond isn't necessarily valid

Well that would be the case if women weren't mentally children for the most part

>The only thing that can be done is pray that history doesn't repeat itself and they are never given rights again.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_French_Revolution
"Historians since the late 20th century have debated how women shared in the French Revolution and what long-term impact it had on French women. Women had no political rights in pre-Revolutionary France; they were considered "passive" citizens; forced to rely on men to determine what was best for them. That changed dramatically in theory as there seemingly were great advances in feminism. Feminism emerged in Paris as part of a broad demand for social and political reform. The women demanded equality to men and then moved on to a demand for the end of male domination"
"Most of these outwardly activist women were punished for their militancy. The kind of punishment received during the Revolution included public denouncement, arrest, execution, or exile. Théroigne de Méricourt was arrested, publicly flogged and then spent the rest of her life sentenced to an insane asylum. Pauline Léon and Claire Lacombe were arrested, later released, and continued to receive ridicule and abuse for their activism. Many of the women of the Revolution were even publicly executed for "conspiring against the unity and the indivisibility of the Republic"

like I said, I had it before with a 19 year old virgin girl. It was out of our control otherwise we would be happily married. I love who I am and have no reason to change.

you must marry to serve a vagina jew

The only women that are into feminism are ugly ones that cant get a man or whores that got pumped and dumped by chad.

>The only thing that can be done is pray that history doesn't repeat itself and they are never given rights again.
history.com/news/what-was-life-like-for-women-in-the-viking-age
"But women in Viking Age Scandinavia did enjoy an unusual degree of freedom for their day. They could own property, request a divorce and reclaim their dowries if their marriages ended. Women tended to marry between the ages of 12 and 15, and families negotiated to arrange those marriages, but the woman usually had a say in the arrangement. If a woman wanted a divorce, she had to call witnesses to her home and marriage bed, and declare in front of them that she had divorced her husband. The marriage contract usually stated how family property would be divided up in case of a divorce."

I can't be bothered finding a english link, just trust me when I say I have a danish link explaining how women again lost their rights with the introduction of christianity.
It is a cycle, men become weak, let women take over and a new masculine culture takes over. The good news is, it does not have to be new men that take over(muslims), we can change the culture ourselves. The vikings started out with honourkillings, but also grew soft, and then adapted the more hardcore christianity at that time.

They are getting replaced by tranny sex bots.. women are idiots no instagram filter can save them

>The only women that are into feminism are ugly ones that cant get a man or whores that got pumped and dumped by chad.
Feminism is the idea that men and women are equal and deserve the same rights. At the absolute core of feminism is women's suffrage. If a woman thinks she should be allowed to vote, she is a feminist. If a man thinks women should be allowed to vote, he is a male feminist. No if's, but's or maybe's, that is feminism. You sound like a woman.

women are shit, they are attacking the guy to feel less shitty of themselves, it's a parasite mentality

People hate what they can't have.

Women aren't complaining they can't find men wtf are you talking about? It's the other way around. Social media has given women so much power that it's gone straight to their head. Tinder, instsgram, etc. They can get a man without even trying. The thing is, they don't want one man. Women in 2017 just want to fuck around. Even the ugly ones think they can pull this off. The men are now the ones craving a real relationship.

If women can vote
Children should vote

They are both equals intellectually (I actually think 11 year old girls are smarter than adult women)

Estrogen is a LOSER/VICTIM hormone I will create a super feminine being above females instead of XX chromosome it will be XXX chromosome .. females are beta not us they contribute nothing to evolution but more weakness and Stockholm syndrome... get rid of them

>that picture
Yup I'm done with the internet today. See you guys tomorrow

The whole point of feminism and supporting the feminist movement was to break up families.

Jews are the serpent in the garden of eden origin story of genesis and feminism was the apple from the tree of good and evil.

>Women aren't complaining they can't find men wtf are you talking about?
They are. But it is because you only see the young ones, which is understandable, no one gives a fuck about old women. But the old women are actually complaining. And they are inviting the invaders and fucking them, not the young women, the old women.

>implying sex caught ANY guy ever
Yeah, it had nothing to do with being motherly, cooking, cleaning, not being a bitch, etc...

They just need to be reminded constantly that they aren't shit, and stripped of as much power as possible until they are rendered dependent on men. Like things used to be.

Given the legal deference given to them by dickhead judges, divorce laws and suffrage (the ability to vote for bigger government to ease the real burden of dodging marriage to be an empowered single woman), the only way to fight back is to become psychologically strong against them. Don't marry until you are psychologically strong and can more or less control women by knowing what to do, telling them what to do, and not giving a shit about what they have to say when it comes to important decisions. And you are psychologically strong enough to laugh it off as female psychosis if she is just an unstable time bomb that divorce rapes you anyway.

>impossible to obtain
>shows a literal picture of it

Well yes. But there were no jews in viking denmark...Jews are an effeminate people, because they have had no country to defend for 2000 years. The problem with jewish men is they act like women.

You're both right. You're right regarding what feminism was to be about and what it was, he's right about what it became. Years ago it was an idea about equality, however with the advent of third wave of it, the whole concept was hijacked as a convenient platform for sexist complaints and accusations for the sake of self-gratification, improving one's financial and social status etc. While in the past social movements were merely experiencing immoral profiteers, nowadays they are mostly dominated by such.

Feminism - it was about equality, now only women issues are addressed, men are blamed for everything, sexist and misandry is standard as is internal fighting.
BLM - supposedly to fight against racism, it created enough of tensions and encouraged/excused enough of racially motivated crime and hate on part of the black communities of US that it probably progress back any progress made in terms of mutual respect and cooperation by decades.
SJW/Antifa - under the prtense of fighting stereotypical enemy, followers of these social trends became far worse than their opponents. Additionally, targetting innocents and generalization to further us vs them narrative became the norm.

You may have a point. I'm 27 and have never been with a woman over the age of 22 yet. Once I reach 30 I imagine the girls below 25 won't want anything to do with me. But the women in that age bracket think they're making the most of their younger years and I have no idea where they're getting this idea that they are going to pick some poor guy right as their stock in attractiveness crashes.

If you marry a woman who has ever seen a dick besides yours, you're asking for trouble.

If a woman has only ever been pleasured by her husband, she's much less likely to fuck around.

>Once I reach 30 I imagine the girls below 25 won't want anything to do with me.
They will, don't worry. I'm just a very observant guy. i been watching women tear down Denmark for years now. If you keep your shit together you should be able to fuck 18 year old women at the very least until you are 40.

Comparison: my parents had 3 kids by the time they were 27. And they're still together after 35 years.

What people don't realize is that the idea of marriage itself was an innovation precisely because polyamory creates very unstable societies.

I have never told anybody this but as a kid I was molested multiple times by a step cousin whore. Annons if you want to hear my sad tale just ask.

We all have issues. Now stop acting like a mopey cuck

Go tell the stories thread on /hm/, they'll probably think it's hot.

Feminism has many aspects to it, the 'liberation' of women and the 'sexual revolution' being the chief ones among them. The 3rd wave exists because of the 1st wave. Feminism today is what the original feminists wanted it to be.

Women want to have their cake and eat it too, which is why they like to pretend they aren't "3rd wave feminists" and the like since it makes them seem rational, but it's all smoke and mirrors.

did you consent? It's not rape if you consented.

Bro I'd love to get married and have a kid by the time I'm 30 but I'm not settling for a girl who's past her prime. The only ones who want something serious are either in their 30s and 40s or are 20 with a kid from another man. It's completely fucked.
