From 3rd world country here, there a lot of cases in my country where the woman expect the man to provide her, accommodate her, buy her a lot of things, only to found out the man doesn't receive any good treat from the woman, even the woman often lash out and belittle the man, but once the man had enough and decided to confront them, suddenly the woman flip the script like she was the victim. Many men once reached this phase, they decided to cut her off, leaving the man with bad reputation due to the woman were already way steps ahead of him and told her and his friends like she was the victim and the man was the bad guy even though she was the first one that made the conflict.

Been on this redpill forum since mid 2020, a lot of users gave advice to the young man to not marry in this era. The more I grew older, the more I get the perspective and agree a lot more (i'm 25 this year), also the divorce rate in my country is way way higher than ever before. Also recently a lot of cases in my country where the man had enough and did a physical abuse to the woman. In a case, the man received a sentence for 12 years, and the woman has been hospitalized while receiving support, but in this scenario, the man had already shared the chronology to his social media (Tiktok) prior to attack hoping that it will go viral after the incident, so the public knew how bad she was and why the man decided to attack her physically. And yes, it did go viral after the incident. Before the public knew the chronology, there were a lot of framing and accusations that made the guy was the bad guy, but luckily now it flipped, even though the man now is in jail. Also adding some context to this scenario, the girl already had boyfriend but she was cheating to this man whom later attacked her, after the incident, her boyfriend broke up with her, and the other man whom she cheated on got sentenced.

I knew a lot of men out there who were a victim of a manipulative woman (i.e. divorced then became homeless due to the assets distribution, being slendered, being scapegoated, wrong accusations, etc), and I just can't imagine what will it be if I were the man that was being manipulated. Last time I was in a relationship, the girl was so self entitled and manipulative, want me to do x y z to her, but I knew this just her attempt to test me how compliance I was. Luckily since I knew this test, I didn't really follow her saying or get manipulated by her, and just did what I want, yet she tried to frame me as the bad guy of how stubborn I was and hard to compromise, even her friends agreeing her framing towards me. Contrary to what this sub saying, in my opinion, there were a diminishing returns where I was being tested again and again without her respecting me afterwards (I already did agree/amplify, amused mastery, ignore, etc), and I had enough of it. Once I had enough and I didn't think she lessen her test (too much test), I cut her off completely without even hoping her to chase me (of course that would be me being desperate if I were hoping her like that, just goes on with my life afterwards).

I think nowadays it's best just to be a side man, where you just close to a girl for some period, then move to the next girl without giving her any real commitment, only there for fun. A lot of girls are fun and kind when they meet me at the first time, but after some times, if I see diminishing return before they breed familiarity and contempt toward me, I move to the next new girl immediately, the novelty effect plays a role in here. I don't do plate like this sub says due to having less resources (time and money) just 1 girl at a time, but once I decided to end, I move to the next girl. Even a lot of my girl friends who already have boyfriends, when their boyfriends are afar, they sometimes invite me to go to a "date" where the man doesn't even acknowledge it. Marriage nowadays are scam, just some shitty power play that place the convenience to the woman side.

For context, I'm 25, fit body, not too focusing on bodybuilding rn, my goal is to just have some lean toned body and I'm keeping it that way without solely be autistic increasing my muscle mass. I don't even spend so much time at the gym anymore, just do some bodyweight workout in my home compared to 4 years before where I focus too much on bodybuilding and I spend about 1.5 hours at the gym. In my experience, as long as I'm lean, where I have low body fat, exposing chiseled jawline and cheekbones, women go crazy for my attention, so I just like to keep it that way, also my cardiovascular is much much better compared to years ago after I add cardio program, with vo2 max metrics of 44, not really high but in a healthy range.

Jesus. First feminists glamorized divorce. Then they glamorized single mothers. And now they're glamorizing becoming a porn star to feed your kid you got from fucking your teacher?! I mean, if the patriarchy ever did this to women, they would be howling from the rafters and jailing every man in sight. I guess telling women to find a man, stay home, and raise some kids is oppression, but telling them to sell pics of your butthole to random dudes in India and Saudi Arabia in order to afford diapers is liberation. It seems that being a feminist means never having to acknowledge hitting rock bottom.

Roger Ebert had a movie term to describe movies whose premises or central conflict were so weak that in the real world, they'd be solved in 5 minutes (like horror movies where the kids just had to turn on the light, or run away from the forest instead of into it, or a romcom where if the two characters just talked for 5 minutes, everything would be cleared up). In this case, in the real world, her problem would be solved in 5 minutes: McDonald's is hiring, they pay above minimum wage these days, and certainly far more than the average onlyfans girl makes.

But a movie about a single mother trying to make ends meet by working 2 jobs at McDonalds and WalMart wouldn't land on AppleTV with glamorous stars portraying her life. At best a documentary to be quickly forgotten in some obscure film festival. No, to be worthy of millions of dollars spent to glorify you as a liberated hero, you need to really fuck up. You can't just be a single mother living with her parents. You need to further annihilate your future chances of a decent life by permanently placing pictures of your vag in the ether, forever available for future college admissions officers, employers, and romantic partners (not to mention your kid's future classmates) to find and recoil from.

That's what it takes to get a feminist to endorse your life as a shining example worth glamorizing. Got it.

I'd like to have asked her what she means by "protection?" Whenever feminists shriek about how men should police other men, we already do. They argue that we don't police men who cheat on their girlfriends, etc. but women don't do any better job of that than we do.

If anything, this begs the question: As western women are the most empowered people in the history of Earth, why are they utterly so miserable? https://www.petermartin.com.au/2009/11/its-different-for-girls-happiness-is.html

As they LOVE to tell us: "I have my OWN money!" "I don't NEED protection!" "I am independent so I don't have to rely upon you!!!" "I can have sex and get orgasms when I damn well please!"

Then they gripe that they need ultra tall men to "feel" safe, men to pay for dates so they "feel" 'taken care of", men to "make them come".

I coined a phrase I don't believe anyone else has done: "The squeakiest wheel is also the greasiest."
