Red Pill

The YouTube algorithm delivers me lots of so-called “red pill” material. I’ve learned a lot of new terms, like misandry (hatred of men), Alpha widow (no regular man can match the best she’s ever had), pair-bonding (oxytocin is released in a woman when she orgasms, causing her to attach to her partner), and incels (involuntary celibate males; 30% of men under 30 are still virgins!). These channels, hosted by both males & females, discuss modern dating and relationships; black-pilled indicates there’s no chance for marriage, and blue pills are clueless schmucks who believe in storybook romance. The content is popular among hapless males who despair to ever find a mate, and most won’t, but the few that do are finding it ever more difficult to make marriages last. 80% of divorces are initiated by women, 90% for college-educated women; it’s clear men are satisfied in marriage by different things than women. According to red-pillers, the top 3 things men want in a marriage are:
1) Sex
2) Companionship
3) Children

Men have more of an emotional investment in their wives because they fall in love, which is biological, something passed down through evolution. If a male is in close contact with a female for an extended period of time, he will fall in love regardless of the female’s beauty. If he then receives sex, companionship & children, for the most part, he’s satisfied in the relationship. It’s not the same for woman: also due to evolution, women are hypergamous, which means they want a man who is their equal or, preferably, better. Women want to be able to brag about their man, to put him on display and cause jealously among other women because of the status & security he brings. They want the prestige & genes to create the best children possible. So for a woman, her relationship satisfaction comes from:
1) Hypergamy
2) Security
3) Children

A woman does not reciprocate the level of commitment of a man; instead women invest themselves emotionally in their family & friends. This means when push comes to shove, a husband may take precedence over the hair-dresser but never over the kids; and if a better guy comes along, the woman will weigh the pros & cons of monkey-branching over to him. This violation of quid pro quo would surprise a man if he knew about it but luckily the choice usually never comes up. A husband may think his marriage is as close to perfect as it can practically get, not knowing his wife is on the verge of leaving him if she has someplace better to go. The red pill is a tough pill to swallow.
