The worst investment a man can make.

[Fortress]

I LOVE females, but a man's life is always led towards chaos if he allows a broad too much entry into his world. Keep her at arms' length (no marriage, co-habitation, etc.) and you're good to go.

[Wiggs]

Most men want the 1950's marriage dynamic, most women don't. Therefore it will never happen.

Wrong. Women control the pussy.  Men control the money and the dick.  If you make yourself irresistible, meaning be the best NickEdge779 you can be in all areas of your life, if you're not spiritual therein lies a large problem but that's another thread. We, this culture is deeply entrenched in lust.  It's normal to fuck after a 1st date in many circles. Do you know how fucked up that is?  What is there to cherish about slut or a whore that is not shameful? Yet, you men are so entrenched in lust via social programming ie porn, which has crept into reality and certain things are now expected and we have "evolved" and are now more "free". This is a lie. We have fallen morally and are enslaved with lust. So much we let women control the situation. If tomorrow all men took a stand and stated from this day forward, the following will take place. All irrational behavior will be checked verbally but fairly. Pay for your own everything until further notice, open your own doors, pickle jars etc...you get the point. Meanwhile, you go to the gym, finish that degree or school, do those projects you always wanted to do. Put the porn away forever and use that wasted energy towards something positive. They would come around trust me. You have to assert your authority as a man and not be a slave to pussy.  When you do this, women fall in place.  It's not something seen often because it's been bred out of society.Its not about being an asshole or a dick.  It's about not tolerating disrespect...When you have that aura and the brains and mouthpiece behind it, shit gets done and people fall in place.  It has to be done respectfully.You can't worry about everyone else, worry about you.  You attract what you put out.

Patrice O'Neal is a legend. I know all this guy's material forward and backwards. RIP.

Talented dude. Loved the fact that he called out the industry and didn't sell out completely...

Porn isn't the problem.

[Wiggs]

Gentlemen, if you are "Godless" and are going after women that are "Godless".  Don't be angry when she does behave like a Godfearing woman. 
You have to have a base.  The best base there has always been, is a belief and fear of The Most High or "God". If you have a base in this and follow and believe in the Bible, you will attract a woman who believes and will fall in place. 

When you don't, the only thing you can expect of her is what her heart desires and what society has implanted in her head. Good luck with that. America is a prime example of what happens when you allow this. It will never end and the result will never change if there is no base or a good base.

It's part of it for young men, yes. It does more damage than you think. It does damage on a spiritual level. It saps your motivation and make you content.  Your social skills suffer etc.

I agree with this.  The worst mistake I ever made in my life was partnering with a single Mum.  My greatest regret.  I have learned to be happy living alone.  I learned to like myself and my own company.  I still spend time with women, but at my age feel put off by many of them.  I just see how wretched they are and how deeply conflicted and tormented they are, many of them have lost their true selves or never known their true selves.  Many are unlikely to reach a state of self actualization or even develop the most basic of insights into their personalities. 

Most women refuse to develop character so place all their stock in the market value of their vagina.  This is why they end up so tormented and bitter at middle age, their vagina is no longer considered valuable and they haven't developed any other desirable personality traits.  A sad spectacle indeed.

Spot on!

It's our own weakness that's the problem. If not porn, it would be something else.  Someone unable to delineate between porn and real life is stupid.

Porn can give people unrealistic expectations about sex and relationships... so can Cosmo, I love Lucy, or anything else. Someone hoping to model their life after The Donna Reed Show is just addicted to nostalgia and what television sold people on as relationship roles during that era.

LOL @ at believing in some random fairy tale sky god will render a female a better mate.

It's not weakness, it's greedy scum exploiting human nature for profit. Regardless, the damage is done and porn has been a major cause.  There's nothing of any redeeming value in regards to porn.

Amazing post, so fukkin well put. Many... most of the females end up like that. I personally find it VERY difficult to like a female for a long time just because most of them are way beyond my intelligence (not just my, but generally stupid. some are so stupid it makes me feel sick) and I just stop respecting them after I'm tired of fucking the same pussy. It's like reading the same book for a 99th time, while expecting at least a few more chapters, but no.. it's a finished book and it's usualy far from Dostojevski or even fukkin Mark Twain.

I'm personally not against marriage, I mean... it just doesn't bother me, I live my own life, I know it exists, I simply don't pay any attention to that. I like to discuss this sometimes because I see how some people are concerned about it, it baffles me tbh. I'm very happy with my life as it is, maybe, some day, who knows, but why the hell is this an "issue" for some is beyond me. Maybe they want kids a lot or can't be alone for a prolonged time. I personally love to spend time with myself. If not working out and social activities that I enjoy - I'd gladly spend most of my time locked inside my apartment with books and internet (not for porn) or traveling (alone). Life is good.

I once lived with an ex. Hated it. Didn't matter how much I "loved" her. My existence is just so much more enjoyable when my place of sanctuary, that is, my home, is barren of another human. It's like a clubhouse built only for me.

No matter how much we care for another, he/she will eventually begin to grate on our nerves. And once this starts, there's no stopping it. And the contempt then starts to fester.

Yess. I love comming back to my place after a busy day or after a fun day/night and contemplate in a silence, complete silence, or maybe some good music, with a glass of red wine. Good lord a man doesn't need much, just learn to appreciate it.

[Irongrip400]

Getting into a serious relationship with the modern first world american woman.  Especially if she has kids.  This is a pitfall that will bankrupt you, age you, make you fat, grey/bald and leave you horny most nights.  My advice is to work on yourself and your career.  Dating is great, but don't fool yourself because everything will always funnel back to a big house, cars, kids and a boring ass life.  Women always come and go and if you need companionship for whatever reason then seek it out, however just don't let it go any further than dating.  When she presents you with the ultimatum, give her her walking papers.  And if you must, order up a hooker every now and then.  Be well.

OP sounds like a bitter queen who's pissed he's on retail duty in the holiday season. Fuck off loser. Be a real man and take care of your business and you'll be fine. Worst investment to make is a fucking boat.

Well put, I used to think it was a negative that I desired my own little sanctuary, or clubhouse as you put it.  But I discovered this is the best way for me to remain centred and balanced in this chaotic world.  Knowing I have an environment of my own creation that I feel comfortable within that I can return to after any stressful event that occurs away from that environment is a very comforting experience.

I think a mistake almost all woman make is to treat the coupled home as their own home and create a womans environment, rather than allocating a man his fair share of the environment to make his own.  Eventually the man tires of what he sees as a woman taking over the environment and seeks refuge somewhere or someplace else, preferably an environment more suited to his own needs.  

I often wonder if this is because men have put woman's pussy on a pedestal and have overcompensated when it comes to currying favour of women at the expense of his own needs (beyond the sexual).  As a result a man places his sexual needs far and above all his other needs but to his own detriment (in the long run).  Women also pick up on this and use it against him, almost to the opposite extreme, where the woman completely ignores her sexual needs (so as to manipulate the man) while getting most of her other needs met (like controlling the home environment)

Good post, as I made the same mistake by living with a single mom for 6 years.  It almost never works.  Even our therapist said the hardest thing a couple can do is have a step family.  Been almost a year since it ended, finally getting comfortable being single.  No kids of my own, and will never date a single mom again.  Like you said, the best thing a man can do is become completely comfortable being single and living alone.

I think this is true for anybody, men and woman.  If you are comfortable in your own skin you can CHOOSE who you enter into relationships with, rather than doing it out of desperation or a sense of neediness. And considering the majority of relationships do actually end, you will fare better if you can tolerate yourself if your partner leaves you or you choose to leave them.   This doesn't mean you escape the grieving process associated with loss, but just that you know you will be OK and that everyone experiences relationship difficulties and loss and everything is constantly in flux anyway.  The good follows the bad and vice versa, and that it is OK to struggle with the ups and downs of life on your own.

This doesn't mean that I am closed off to relationships, on the contrary, I just want a certain kind of relationship, and just that I would choose being alone as opposed to being in an unsuitable relationship.  Dysfunctional relationships are more stressful than being by yourself IMO.
