@Yorknew Without male leadership, all is lost (including the raising of older children)
@Yorknew Female value outside of sex: Feminine charm, Raising small children, Home support, Family extension, Anti-objectivist world view, Submissive companionship. There are a lot more out there. Take a look at the many works of art dedicated to this.
@Yorknew Being unskilled at anything requires a lot more patience/strategy. When a guy jumps to the worst possible situation whenever women are brought up it identifies a feature of his (probably malfunctioning) strategy. That being said, there is much overlap between dealing with women for sex and dealing with them for LTRs (see 25/25).
@Yorknew Its no coincidence that men with an established history in the SMP choose LTRs. Women have value outside of sex but they don't come with the ability/comfort to express it by default anymore. Getting them to the point where they are pleasant to be around is a mans job.
