A white husband fetishizes Latina women while making his white wife feel "like garbage" throughout the process.

In contrast, I chose my (white) wife *over* other Asian women that were interested in me as we met while we taught English in China. I chose to protect my wife from being kidnapped by Chinese triads into prostitution when I had the option of letting them take her and I could have just paid to rent her as a customer.

And my first serious relationship was *with* a Latina (I could have gone back to her or women like her).

It begs the question why I am so deeply inspired by, and devoted to, European women. Not simply my wife, but as an archetype in their most divinely feminine form:

---

1. A combination of accumulated positive experiences during key developmental stages as I came of age;
2. A healed mother wound;
3. A sense of duty, debt, and honor to European women that I owe them because of what they did for me during key times of need when I was young.

---

I owe white women. It was not easy giving birth to and raising someone like me. Not with the social stigma. Not with the identity crises, and not knowing how to raise me and so forth.

It couldn't have been easy for the white women *besides* my mother who took care of me and contributed to raising me.

Their patience. Their forgiveness.

Even the ones that dislike me. Even the liberal ones that think me a "nazi" and whatnot...even if I may be snarky with those types...there are certain lines I just don't cross when going toe-to-toe with them...even if there are individuals who can be really nasty to me. So, *imagine* how warm I am to European women who are genuinely kind to me.

It doesn't matter what you call me. You can call me the n-word. You can call me every name in the book...

...yet, you are *just not* going to undo the positive associative memories, the deep appreciation, love, warmth, and will to protect that is *burned* in my brain. Burned deeply.

There is a bond there that's *just not* going to be broken.

To me, white women aren't a fetish; they are home.

They are home to me. To be cherished, protected, and celebrated.

(Hiding this woman's identity because causing problems in her marriage is not the goal whatsoever.)

@Write4Republic The people were.

@NancyMace True, but the ones that aren’t are bad Muslims.

I am out of touch.

Seldom is my writing brave; it's fearless.

And I am not saying that as a compliment; I mean the technical definition of what it means to be without fear, and thus disqualified as truly "brave" as fear is a prerequisite of bravery.

It was once brave when I had attachments like immediate family and a chain-of-command that could punish me for the things that I say and do.

But now, I have graduated from all of that. I either graduated from it or healed from the pain of sacrificing it upon the altar of my freedom. Freedom that most people will never know.

I have my struggles, of course, but my struggles are not what the average person deals with.

I have to remember that I write and speak in a way, and about topics, that the average person can't even touch without getting a divorce, or getting fired, losing friends, etc.

Kudos to anyone with the balls to not hide their face when leaving a comment. I mean that.

It takes balls to be associated with me. It does.

@Bushra869 I first learned as a beginner professional chef, on the job. Then, later, a Vietnamese guy I served with in the military taught me basic Asian cooking. And then later in China, I asked mentors how to cook more.

@marriedmn Your spouse should never be the reason why you shrink your dreams but expand them.

[Mike Norton @nortonsmind]

@sabamaliktmhg Yes.

A man will always find himself attracted to other women as a biological inevitability, especially as hormones inescapably dim past the 7-year mark of a marriage.

Whether he remains faithful is based on his values and why he got married in the first place. But, yes.

@tophz_ Uncle Ben.

My first thought was Ned Stark, but then I realized that without either his or Robert Baratheon's death, there would *be* no Game of Thrones.

@moonpetal76 I learned basic swimming on my own as a child with a supervising adult. And then I became sub-Olympic while training for the Navy SEALs.

@pallnandi Women can and should inspire a man.

Men generally go broke, get locked up, or are killed over it because of their personal weaknesses pertaining *to* women.

[Mike Norton @nortonsmind]

@TradAdvocate More or less. 🤷‍♂️

[Mike Norton @nortonsmind]

There is nothing wrong with saying that you want a certain kind of woman (or a certain kind of man).

The question is not your logos (the words themselves) but your pathos and ethos: Do the women you want...respect you?

For instance, when I say I love European women, the majority of the women in my audience (primarily on Facebook) aren't "icked" by that, especially if they have been following for a while and have an understanding of my backstory, thought process, and why.

My wife, for instance, finds it to be an honor: That *her* beauty inspires me. That *her* archetype is my muse. That *she* is my first choice, above so many others I could have chosen...especially in Asia where we met.

That I got precisely the kind of woman I wanted deep down, in my heart of hearts. That I put her, or her feminine archetype, first before all others.

Without apology.

However, let some random Indian or Somalian dude say the same exact thing...most would be disgusted.

And that's not even necessarily about ethnicity, because even low-level *white* dudes will gross out *white* women with the same words.

It works in reverse, too:

A white woman who signals to black people, such as with her speech, clothing, etc. will never find a dude like me (even if that's actually what she's looking for).

If she says: "I love black men," I'll be grossed out.

Not because of her logos but because of her pathos and ethos: There are many problems with the black communities throughout the world; they don't advance for many self-destructive reasons. Therefore, signaling to me in a way that appeals to them simultaneously signals that you don't stand for anything moral (ethos) that would move me (pathos) into believing that you would be a good mother.

And if I wanted a black woman, I would just get the real thing. 🤷‍♂️

It just depends. Your pathos and ethos are worth *far* more than your logos: Not so much *what* is said but *who* is saying it, in what context, from what morals, and why.

[Mike Norton @nortonsmind]

I hear you.

Though, "utilitarian" does not equate to "useful"; the philosophy of utilitarianism equates to making decisions useful for serving greater goods.

The immorality is in *what* greater good?

He is in jail because he committed crimes in service to the greater good of his ego.

...which didn't even work out long-term, because look at how humiliated he's become.

Andrew Tate is locked up for one reason and one reason only: He chose the utilitarian route to success, rather than a Kantian.

[Mike Norton @nortonsmind]

There is nothing wrong with wanting to lead men if you care about your fellow man and think you have value to share.

...But accounts that make their leadership the sole focus of their money-making are ultimately faking.

A true "high value man" may mentor on the side, but not as his main thing, because he is too busy leading by example in the actual domains he gains his experience to teach about from.

And therein lies the rub: Before you blindly listen to any random "real man" advice, first ask the question: "Where did this person gain their wisdom from?"

To answer that question quickly sets aside real from fake (and if not fake then at least exaggerated), as the biggest red flags with "alpha male" and masculinity accounts are if they don't show their face, lack a reasonably verifiable backstory, and can't tell you from that story where they got their wisdom from in the first place.

@marriedmn Dating without the intent of marriage is a waste of time and resources.

[Mike Norton @nortonsmind]

@Getinwithgame A higher-level response would be to tell her that you simply "won't" skip the gym. Your way implies niceness and a lack of self-control. Weak.

Just be honest about your priorities, as well as where and how she should fit into your life...like an *actual* high-value man.

@AlviGunilla The legend of Sigurd in Völsung disproves this take. Sigurd completely forgot his oath to Brynhild, but the gods held him to it, despite the spell he was under.

...and it was a long, arduous path to redeem his honor.
