So I recently celebrated my fourth anniversary with my wife. And I've been blessed to be married at all, considering I was a useless Gamma male when I first started dating her (or I was an Omega, I can't tell anymore). While we are still in that danger zone for divorce, I don't have any prospects for divorce because I tend to accept problems differently than most people. That may be what causes my wife to give up on our marriage, though.
Having been married to her, I've had the wonderful opportunity to have some vague associations with her friends and I can say that they are nothing more than a series of sad sacks of human matter. Well, at least when it comes to long-term marital commitments. The hard truth is that the women of my generation seem to be completely lost when it comes to having any kind of relations with men.
Many of these girls think that life is like the movies. They grow up believing there is the "One" out there for them and then they latch on to whoever they think is that person. When I was in college, I remember my roommate having a female friend (I guess she was a friend from high school because she'd be a sex-buddy in college) come in and cry about her recent break-up. I busied myself playing video games with my headphones on because I was (and probably still am) a big lamo in college who had nowhere to go. Anyway, she ranted and raved about how all that sex meant nothing ultimately. Uh, yeah, sex doesn't mean much to a guy in terms of long-term commitments. Too bad you had to learn the hard way.
I heard that last year the birthrate in the United States fell last year. A huge factor in that is these selfish, sad, and pathetic women of my generation who look to manipulate men, who view them as a worthless asset rather than a valued partner. And when a man won't give to her manipulations, she will throw a fit and sometimes even break-up with him. That same roommate had a girlfriend who he broke up with because she demanded that he come to her sorority house at 2 am on a weekday to comfort her. He stood his ground and she decided he wasn't worth her time. How dare he pretend to be an Alpha, right?
I'm sure there are plenty of good women out there. But the crop that my wife befriends seems to have their share of terrible problems. I don't know how common this is among women in general, but given the state of Facebook these days, it may be more prevalent than we realize.
My advice to women is to let go of your self-esteem. The self-esteem movement, that raised us to believe we need to be happy in life, has largely been a farce. It has created a series of bitchy princesses who have no grounding in real life. It's a wonder any woman gets married at all.
In fact, how did I get married? Oh well, I'm just going to roll with the situation, like I do with everything else I find myself in.
