@adam-l The narrative at the moment is "burnt out and crazy". Not sure I've noticed the change, but I've not had a new girl in a while either.

"Burnt out and crazy" sucks for them. It sucks harder for men.

@mattyanon

The crazy thing to my mind is that women complain that men are not committing, while also making commitment a shit deal.

See, women are holistic, which basically means they take all the current and short term data into account in order to produce a mental representation that benefits themselves.

It's purely evolutionary, in that it's a relic from the time where they couldn't rely on any long term commitment, and they had to implement a fast, greedy strategy.

Is it my impression or have you guys also observed that women nowadays tend to die burnt out and crazy? It's the price they pay for living a life as "strong and independent" rather than submitted to a caring man.

@First-light @Kloi

In addition to the difficulty of maintaining an LTR in the current mating landscape, this might also have to do with the "Fast vs Slow life strategy" model. LTRs need more pronounced Slow traits.

Pro-tip, reminder:

If you have kids, it's obligatory to have at least one 4-5 day getaway per year with them, preferably in nature, without their mother.

@TheRedPike what necklace?

@Vermillion-Rx @adam-l

two daughters

Wow, I didn't think you two would be so supportive of a boy thinking he's a girl.

So Charlize Theron adopted two daughters, and she's LARPing being a dad, bossing her kids around, (which is her understanding of "setting limits"), because "she don't need a man telling her what to do".

Inb4 her daughters seek therapy for BPD.

@adam-l for only having 3 brands advertised to him?

Heh. You should see how many brands and varieties are available in any American grocery store. You'd make one of those "holy crap America is so much more awesome than I expected!" videos that all those visiting Eurofags who were here for World Cup Soccer have made so prevalent in recent weeks.
