You probably long since realised that Carefreewannabe assumes that as she is well educated, highly paid and able to live an independent life in a liberal progresssive country, the age-old biological and cultural imperatives, and nuances of the male/female dynamic no longer apply to her - or at least can be re-ordered to her wishes.

Egbon, don't mind this gyal. She apparently hasn't read 2Cor 13:8. I think, deep down, she's looking for answers, or at least, trying to confirm or sway her outlook. I'm only tryna help a sister.

First of all, Carefree, you're floating about this thread with a pseudo-opinion. You claim to be of a reasonably high IQ, you should be able to deduce my point or the process of coming to my conclusions. Even if you can't, I remember referring you to the boys' thread which you claimed you'd read and come upon my position on this matter.
my point? I have gone into detailed explanations on this issue, I don't want to go through that activity right now or any time soon. I'm not in the mood. If you're feeling too lazy to read, it's not my fault.

If you want education, I'm under no obligation to split your head open and funnel knowledge into it. If you don't have any interest in going there, don't call me on this thread anymore.

You can see it in lots of the posts here. Granted, there are things badly practiced and abuses, but the core models and morés are what works best - for most individuals and more pertinently for society as a whole.

I feel for them, but more for those who are in situations that don't afford them the same leeway but choose to tread the same path. I also had to seek answers. I hope they find them before it's too late. Hitting the wall or working with unrealistic expectations can be very painful.

It apparently hasn't functioned to the point of noticing that women generally/mostly/would rather/tend to marry up given the choice, of course. You don't have to follow this submission blindly, do the research yourself. Research, after all, is an activity carried out by people with functional brains.

So if a woman marries a man who is better educated and earns more she is inferior, right?

Is a man who marries a woman who is better educated and earns more also inferior to his wife?

Painful, indeed. I also had to find out the haarrrrd way. Already married, in fact. So, imagine my dilemma and subsequent awakening. I speak of things I have practised and lived not regurgitating some strange distant theory.

I'm not too particular about women, though. My concern is channelled towards men as we are the default leaders of society. Throwing away our mantle of authority on the alter of pseudo-equality does noone any favours.

In that sense, she is. However, that's not all that's required to be a superior partner. Consider factors like intellect, leadership skill, efficiency, charisma, etc. The headship of the home isn't just about money,mind you. Who does the buck ultimately stop with?

In countries where the age of consent is 12, would it be wrong to sleep with a 13 year old? Because that would mean those who sleep with 18 year olds in the US are irresponsible considering the age of consent in some countries is 21. :/

I asked Sophyrocks to define irresponsible and she couldnt?

Is not agreeing with someone's lifestyle and choices, make them irresponsible? If so, who made you the judge?

Already married? You tried 0! It simply took me that much longer to actually get married. Alls well that ends well sha!

I often say (in boxing), there are two ways to learn, the hard way and the painful way - take your pick. But getting this wrong can be hard and painful.

Heheehe. All I had to do was reframe my persona and there was a corresponding adjustment on the other side. Have to say I was/am favoured to have the kinda wife I have. Which is why I don't hate the players or the game, I simply got with the program.

I'd rather the hard way to learning. Hehehehe

Research, plain fact, natural conditions and human nature.

Sure a man with the means and charisma may be happily married to 2 or more wives.

But;

1. Would the women be as happy as if they had him all to themselves? Or put another way, would they prefer to share as opposed to choose too - if the circumstances were different? It denies women full agency

2. At a natural ratio of about 106 men to 100 women (to smooth the riskier lives and earlier deaths men tend to experience), it would cause an imbalance in wider society. Polygamy never prevails, even where it is permitted.

At best polygamy is an abberant form of marriage which may prove useful in times of real societal distress.

A wife can appear superior, it's not the natural way of things, though. Why would a wife appear superior? Better, yet, why would a man make his wife appear superior? Because he's a jonzing otondo. angry

You said a man who earns more, is better educated, has more developed leader qualities and charisma is superior.

If the wife has all these qualities, why isn't she superior but only appears to be superior? grin

The only country I know of where the age of consent is 12 is angola and for the fact that I am educated about the female body, it is wrong and irresponsible regardless of what the age of consent says. What then stops that 40year old sleeping with a 9 year old who looks like the 12 year old?
In your mind now, if you travel to angola you are ok to toast a 12/13 year old who probably hasn't started menstruating yet with one boob still yet to grow?
Anyhow, I am not surprised when in our part of the world, you can easily have sex with a 5 year old and nothing fit happen to you. But I can assure you no normal thinking educated father would want someone sleeping with his 12 year old regardless of what the age of consent is.

Finding the right type of woman is key. And mature men know what that is - even if they haven't got their frame fully worked out.

I long for a time when men marry the right type of women for the right reasons. And all those women who think their looks, education, wealth, family pedigree, ability to catwalk, grasp of liberal ideology etc. means they can overthrow norms, simply get left on the shelf.

Open hypergamy is so bad in the West now that it's practiced openly and men are becoming socialised accordingly.

We'll see how it al lpans out. But women will bear the brunt - and may well reverse and demand the change.

Women have been known to wear the pants in the home.

And it's not a matter of wanting or not. It is nashure(nature) aka, the natural order aka, the way of mankind. You don't really have to want to go to the bathroom, you do because that's what you do.
