you need to get a decent ROI for everything you are dealing with (financially, responsibility for looking after the woman, dealing with female nonsense, etc) otherwise the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. 100 years ago this was just common sense and didn’t even need to be mentioned it was intuitively understood by everyone in society.
No one is forcing you to get married, you can always go and pay prostitutes. It's still very possible to get young, decent looking prostitutes. So no need to intellectually hide behind some kind of "pressure to get married".
It's bizarre that you raise the topic in this mechanical ROI manner. What is your wife's ROI? Are you able to offer the 6-6-6 rule? Do these whores even care? Women try to bite off what they can chew. Your money means nothing to a woman if you got a death grip on it.
While obviously these kinds of mechanical pairings have occurred and still occur, why would someone even want to put themselves in such a position? You want to witness your somber wife experience joy every time you guys bump into some charming Joe?
At the end of the day it's not about ROI, it's about Return on Time.
Human beings become obsolete and worthless with age. The older you are the more worthless you become. This is where the return on time comes in. Did you spend your youth doing something of value that you can use a crutch to enjoy your limping years?
No money in the world can fix you being a 50/60 year old man telling your peers and young people alike that you never had a family. It's going to hurt saying it. It's go to hurt seeing their reaction. It's going to hurt seeing their family. It's going to hurt thinking about it.
Even if you marry old, your wife and kids will find ways to remind you of your fleeting value. They're going to be casket shopping while you're still alive.
I understand you wanting to prevent pain and suffering when dealing with these feminist sluts but you can't orient your life around pain avoidance. You don't need permission to be who you are. If you got tired of some woman then it's your choice to cheat on her, drop her off at the bus station, or go on a cigarette run to the store.
The issue with women is that a lot of nice guys, myself included, are more afraid of ourselves and our potential behavior than we are afraid of the potential behavior of these whores. At the end of the day, I'm sure you've been hurt a million times, so how does it make sense for you to still see pain as a big deal?
