I didn't go to college until I was 30. This gave me a chance to see it with the perspective of an adult.
One lecture in Industrial Psychology, in particular, I will never forget.
The professor spoke about how an effective job description focused on concretely measurable tasks, not vague instructions, or characteristics.
For example, "maintain an 85% or greater average on customer feedback surveys", instead of "be cheerful and upbeat", or even "interact positively with customers".
This means that goals are clear, and performance is measurable. A job is to do something, not be something.
Once some of the students had wrapped their minds around this concept, the professor decided to do a class exercise.
He asked the female students to come up with a job description for "husband". At first, this went fine. The girls noodled around a bit with things they wanted their husbands to be (tall, etc), but he was able to gradually steer them towards describing what they wanted in terms of actions.
But then he asked the male students to define a wife in the same way.
And all the girls became upset. Some of them had full-on meltdowns.
Every single thing that a male student wanted, or expected, from his hypothetical future wife was sexist, oppressive, old-fashioned, misogynistic, patriarchal, etc.
They were literally screaming. Some of them in tears.
And I realized something pretty quickly. It wasn't the actual, concrete responsibilities of the female role that they objected to.
It was the idea of there being a female role at all, with any attached responsibilities.
These women didn't want to be wives. They wanted to be pets.
What's a pet? Well a pet is not a wife, or a friend. A pet is a creature of instinct, which you bring into your home because you like how it naturally behaves.
You get a cat because you want to behave like a cat, and do things a cat naturally does, like play with string, and purr when you pet him. If he's smart, he'll adapt to you somewhat, but he doesn't have responsibilities other than "be a cat".
If you get a wife, you get a wife so she will do things for you, specific things that are the responsibilities of wife, like care for your home, bear and raise your children, cook nutritious meals so you don't have to eat processed slop, look after your emotional well-being, and so on.
These girls didn't want to be held responsible for those things. As married women, they might have anticipated doing some of them, but only some of the time. Only when they felt like it.
The cat chases the string if and when it wants to, not because chasing the string is its job.
These young millenial women didn't realize it, but they wanted to be pets. And that's what they were in their college relationships. They hung out with guys when they wanted to, had sex with them when they wanted to, broke up with them for someone new when they wanted to.
Their relationships had no element of reciprocal responsibilities. They were perfectly at home with the idea of men having responsibilities to them, but they would repay those men if they chose, and how they chose, not how the men actually wanted.
And as I've said twice already, someone you have responsibilities to, but who has none to you, is a pet, or a child.
Since our ancestors, in a moment of foolishness and weakness, allowed women to vote, it is no longer legal to dole out the corrective spankings a great many of them both need and read pornographic novels about.
Therefore, the corrective measure, for any man who finds himself with a pet instead of a wife, is to withdraw from any husbandly duties and start actively searching for alternatives.
This can either result in a correction of the behavior, or the end of a relationship that offers no value. Either is acceptable.
This may strike some of you as dishonorable, but there is no honor in keeping a broken pact, or in serving those who despise you.
Men must have the pride and self-worth to say "I will be honored and respected, or I will depart to a place where I can be, even if I must be alone there."
Men must honor and respect themselves.
Where men and women differ is that women rightly (in their fear and cowardice) recognise the inherent threat men represent to them, and so are innately cautious and distrustful and must be "won over" slowly over time, by repeated demonstrations of competence and character to effectively trust a man enough to bear her vulnerability to him.
Men, do not have that inherent defence, because they do not view women as particularly formidable, intimidating or scary. So inexperienced men at least tend to approach women with far more open hearts, only to be crushed by the inherently capricious nature of woman.
What do I mean by capricious nature? I mean unreliable, prone to impulsive change, contradiction, to state one thing, then do its opposite, repeatedly, as a matter of "character" - to make profusely impassioned declarations in one state, then do the very opposite in another - naturally, it is maddening, naturally, because women tend to be careless with men's hearts, many men become wounded, and that within itself drives a type of cynicism, only for those injured men to be condescended to by society "you just chose the wrong one!" "they're not all like that!" - as if, womankind is in fact herself not incredibly arbitrary.
I would turn to woman and I would say, for all the safety and reliability and trustworthiness that you seek in man, do you think you could find that in yourself? If you were a lesbian, could you find that safety in another woman? If you were a man, could you find that safety in a woman? Can you create the very safety for a man that you seek from him?
My point is not a generic "women bad" post, though I realise low IQs, sentimental women and zealously cynical men may incorrectly read it as such.
My point is that men have to be a lot more cautious with women than they are, and then when they invariably get screwed over because they were not, not overcorrect with cynicism.
You must go slower than is natural to you, and you must make her earn everything. You can express yourself to her, but you should not become indulgent with it until she has proven herself repeatedly as someone you can rely on.
You should not let women near you who are not obsessed with you and thus treat you as an option, but you should also not trust women obsessed in the wrong way: those who project onto you and don't see you for who you truly are, but as a mere fantasy you can never live up to.
In reality, this leads to very slim pickings, for as much as I adore the feminine in her highest form and thus speak highly of it, I think the average woman is grossly insufficient - unmarriageable. I do not like saying this and sincerely wish to be incorrect about that, but I also prefer not to lie, and I believe this to be the case.
Nobody tells an electrician what wires to connect , a plumber what pipes to use or a pilot how to fly a plane !
But when it comes to Doctors ,people tend to think they know better !

Half of intelligence is small talk. The ability to turn the mundane into a stretching laughter. Also, intelligence cannot be claimed, it's inferred by your audience. It's they that then decide if you are intelligent or otherwise.
