@Etanarachel When you don’t value sex for whatever reason, either out of conflict with your other values or because you’re not healthy enough to value it. An example being the Madonna-whore complex.
@kanandumeroad Not many people have much tolerance for philosophizing that isn’t useful for their happiness, maybe women especially judging by the lack of women in academic philosophy.
@RealDianeYap Sex can be the highest expression of love, for men and women. Just because sex isn’t romantic for you for whatever reason, that’s not how it’s like for everyone else.
Finding a woman worth spending the rest of your life with is extremely valuable to men. And, in America at least, studies suggest that married men are generally happier than unmarried men.
Whether you register that legally is a different issue.
Proposing is usually better for men if your beloved has self-esteem. And so is asking a woman to be your girlfriend.
Putting aside what emotion is most difficult to control, anger is a reaction to unfairness. Fear is a reaction to a threat to your values. Some people also believe that being threatened is unfair sometimes, so they get angry.
Fear is the most difficult emotion to control.
Anger is the 2nd most difficult emotion to control.
After all, anger is nothing more than the offensive expression of fear.
@bestmenspod Initiating exclusivity doesn’t mean pushing for it exactly, but initiating with a woman includes escalating the intimacy, physical but also asking a woman to be your girlfriend or wife.
A man has all sorts of innate physiological differences which are more advantageous in life, so that equal effort by men and women ends up different. Like, if you’re carrying in groceries with your girlfriend, you carry more groceries because you’re stronger. And making your girlfriend carry more would put more of a burden on her.
In a similar way, when you’re interested in a woman worthy of you, then since you have the advantage you initiate instead of putting the greater burden on her to do so.
@godlywomanhood What’s good about moral obligation or duty? I would agree that if you choose to take on responsibility, then you should fulfill them. But the only valuable responsibility a wife has for sex is to have sex out of love, when best for her happiness. Duty sex is gross.
You’re using a law designed for female animals to be the head of the relationship, that’s the point and why it doesn’t apply.
But ok, that applies to men who view themselves as prizes but don’t view the women they are pursuing as prizes as well.
But men who are prizes pursuing women who are prizes have a different dynamic.
