It's just that, in this thread, people were expressing what they don't want. So I got curious about what they do want.

My take?

I don't believe in hard power between the genders. I agree that marriage and divorce laws within the anglosphere are largely fucked, because they weaponize finances and custody in favour of women, thereby handing over hard power. That doesn't mean I think men should have any such power over women either though (I don't).

I think a fair divorce practice (if parties don't agree) is default 50/50 custody split, and default 50/50 split of assets made during the course of the marriage. And that's pretty much it. Possibly some form of child support as well, but nothing ridiculous.

I don't think it's an unrealistic thing to implement either. Many western countries (outside the anglosphere) already do. We're not very different cultures.

I don't think "staying together" is a good goal to have for a man. I don't count marriage success in staying together. You stay together for as long as it's enjoyable enough for you to stay together. The statistics on divorce impact on children are largely inflated, due to conflicts caused by unfair divorce laws. Divorce isn't anything for a man to fear, unless it's artificially, and unfairly made so.

Hard power doesn't make for an actual enjoyable dynamic. It's just enforced beta buxxery, a recipe for a not-so-enjoyable dynamic. Soft power makes for an enjoyable dynamic.

Soft power = be attractive + have boundaries + be at least somewhat competent.

It's not up to me to say who or what is "red pill" or not, but I personally find traditionalist conservativism to be semi bluepill.

You mention culture, society, government, divorce, the sexes, wealth, and politics, more so than specifically authority itself. It reads like your own thoughts are still all over the place on this. I hope you take the time to keep asking questions until such a time as you've found conclusive answers for yourself.

The first experience any of us have with authority is what's exercised by our parents. Some of us had parents who exercised their authority over us well, while others did not. Some of us come out of those experiences seeking to be, among other things, better potential parents than those we had, while others did not. This tends to be the trend with the other groups you'll deal with in life. Some will be good, many will be bad. The proof of their health will be in their retention and growth.

In such things, as the Spider-man comics character Uncle Ben would say, "with great power, comes great responsibility". Whether employing hard power, or soft, how you ultimately wield it will inform others as to what sort of person you really are regardless of what mask you wear, or image you otherwise think you've built of yourself.

Regardless of context, I can only understand authority being for all practicality a license. Either from god, nature, or expressly issued from some worldly hierarchical organization, like a school, court, government, agency, the military, that exist to legitimize members to take action in fulfilling a given mission. Whether one may be understanding of that mission, or if their actions are moral or ethical, is a topic of discussion for another time. Whether you agree with it or not, that's just how I understand authority.

How do i break up with my crazy "gf"?

I put my dick in crazy and dont know how to take it out. I saw the sign early in, she was manipulative and emotionally unstable, daddy issues, divorced parents, abandonment issues etc. You know the drill. She is a 10 and ive had the best sex of my life with her, i protected myself and never commited to a relationship, never told her we are Bf and Gf, however i think ive spinned this plate too hard. When i realized the headaches were not worth the sex anymore, it was too late. Everytime i mention 'moving on' she gets into crazy fits, she is very unstable right now and honestly, i care too much about her to leave her like this. I would like some advice from people who have been through the same thing, no theoretical answers please. I know tha 'moving away and going no contact' will be the first answer, but its not really who i am, i cant do it like that. I'm no fool and i know i cant do this without hurting her, but i need advice on how to break up in the nices way possible for her. Any tricks?

@Mate1212

If you were 20. Told your gf you want kids between 25 - 28. But your not really sure because you don't know if you will have enough money and if she's really worth it. And she tells you it's a bit early 30 - 32 would be fine.

Is this a reason to break up? Did she just tell me your beta and I do like to keep the gates open. Or is it just normal because of the female timeline?

Whether you break up or not over this is entirely up to you, but it seems reason enough to not let whatever relationship you believe you have benefit from concern as you reflect on which is more important. Making the investment of the time and energy needed to develop into becoming the sort of man you imagine can handle the concerns of parentage, or continuing to waste time and energy on a responsibility averse fun seeking semen demon.

Guys, it's a joke.

Just ignore us losers giving you grief. Joke or not, the discussion timing was interesting. You brought up an angle a few hours after I was asked by a young latina I'm acquainted with if she should sell nudes of herself. Seems its still the habit for chicks who want to make 'extra money', when they otherwise have no discernible skills like sewing or whatnot, to only consider exploring the whore skill tree. Retarded.

Maybe I'm smitten with her or was in the midst of post-nut clarity, I ended up giving her practical digital media career advice. We've all probably seen youtube videos of distraught hoes in tears that they're not even making bus fare with their onlyfans to think differently. Yea?

I told her that while I can't stop her from trying, regardless how pretty she might be, unless she gets a handler the sheer volume of competition would completely crowd her out before she could hope to build an audience. She'd have way better luck making money online through crowdfunding streaming herself a few hours a week practicing on her piano. She could even grow her wardrobe by giving simps the option to buy her clothes to wear on stream from an online store wish list. She had everything needed to get started minus a tripod for her smartphone and you can get those for a few bucks.
