The Reason for the Double Standard, and How Women Perpetuate It!

 Folks,

I left the below comment in response to Far From Eden's new video about body count.

------------

I'm about 10 minutes in, and the author has already commented on the "double standard" WRT body count. If anything, it's WOMEN who perpetuate it! Why? Because the guys who've been with more women are more desirable to other women. Women want men that other women want. It's called social proof or preselection. Women think that, if the man is wanted by many other women, then there must be something special about him; there must be a reason other women want him. Hence, they'll want him too. See how the double standard is perpetuated by women?

The double standard also exists because, in order to have sex, a man has to put in a lot of work. He has to be in good shape; he has to hit the gym regularly, and it must be obvious that he does. He has to have good hygiene. He has to wear the right clothes. He has to have the right job. He has to drive a presentable or nice car. All that just GETS him in the game! It doesn't guarantee that he'll sleep with anyone.

OTOH, all a woman has to do to have sex is show up. If she puts herself among some guys and lets it be known that she's DTF, she'll have takers. That is to say a woman doesn't have to put in any work to have sex. I submit to you that a man has to work harder for one conquest than a woman has to work for 100. That's another reason the double standard exists.

Prenups

 Guys,

Strong Successful Male's new video features an attorney writing in and sharing his thoughts about prenups. Below is my comment in response to the video.

I also follow Jonathan Noble, Esq., a divorce and family law attorney practicing in NJ and PA. He has a YouTube channel talking about this stuff; he's informative, so I recommend that men follow him and watch his content. He's talked about PA being prenup friendly, the implication being that some jurisdictions are more prenup friendly than others; that is to say that some jurisdictions honor prenups more than others do.

Secondly, and this is my thought only, is that just because a jurisdiction is prenup friendly today doesn't mean that they'll be prenup friendly tomorrow. How do you know that, if you get divorced 20 years from now, that your jurisdiction will still honor prenups? What's to say that either statutory or case law WRT divorces won't change? Even if everything is done right today, it doesn't mean that a man will be protected in the future. Things change, right? Therefore, men need to remember that.

Thirdly, even if things are done right; even if your STBX wife is willing to honor the prenup she signed (i.e. she has no intention of contesting it); doesn't mean that a judge cannot or will not set aside the prenup. Just look at what happened to "Friends" star Matt LeBlanc. He married with a prenup. They got divorced. His STBX said that she was ready, willing, and able to honor the prenup. Guess what? That black robed SOB STILL set the prenup aside! Matt LeBlanc's divorce, though it happened years ago now, serves as a cautionary tale.

With all that in mind, the only 100% safe play is to not get married. If you, as a man, aren't married, then you cannot be divorce raped. It's just that simple.

Why Not Adoption?

 Folks,

I just finished watching a compelling video on the YouTube channel, Hearit Stories. Though AI generated while being based on stories from Reddit and other places on the Internet, the stories are quite good. This one is among the best. It explores the question of unplanned pregnancies. In my comment, I raised the question about why adoption wasn't considered, and isn't considered, when unplanned pregnancies happen. Below is my comment in response to the video.

Wow, that was one HELL of a story! After hearing it, my feelings are mixed. On the one hand, I feel bad for what happened to her when she was young; she was abused, homeless, and confused. I get that. However, OTOH, I can't forgive covering up her past. As for the child, if she wasn't in a position to care for the boy, why didn't she put him up for adoption? It would seem to me that that would've been the best option for all concerned. Carol, who couldn't raise a kid at 19, would've had the fresh start she needed. Ethan would've grown up in a good home with parents who loved him.

It seems to me that adoption would be the best option for many young girls like Carol vs. being a single mom. The epidemic of single moms has been a DISASTER for society! The vast majority of prison inmates grew up in single mom homes; the vast majority of children from single mom homes end up in poverty; and so on. With a surplus of couples willing to adopt, why don't more young women in a similar difficult situation to Carol's not consider this option?
