I get it, somewhat. Even if these foids don't actually want to get married, they still want to be seen as "marriage material" by society, similar to the way moids want to be seen as frickable even if they don't like fricking that much. It must chafe to consider yourself a HVF and still not see HVMs line up as suitors. Especially with how many of them probably had relationships where they thought they might get married only for it blow up and make them feel like they wasted years of their life on nothing. Sometimes the only option left is to cope that bubble baths and books are some exclusive pleasure that can only be enjoyed while single.

Of course, plenty of men will say—either directly or indirectly—that the solution to all our problems (read: their problems) is to somehow "return" to a time when women couldn't earn their own incomes, and thus, were forced to settle. This is the reason they didn't freak out about porn so much until Onlyfans came around—they will reliably seethe over an Onlyfans model being able to buy a luxury car as a result of s*x work, but don't seem bothered by the luxurious life of porn producers, or Andrew Tate's sprawling and dimly-lit man cave. These men might mask their agenda with concern for birth rates or veneration of homeschool moms, but a lot of it is just about maximizing their own sexual options, or the sexual options of the men who listen to them. It's the male version of decreeing that any forty-year-old man who dates a twenty-five-year-old woman is a libertarian.

The author is doing what is typically a rightoid thing where all the bad archetypes are piled into one confused monstrosity. Here there are 1950's LARPers, porn gooners, Andrew Tate fans all smashed together in some incoherent strawmoid that likes porn but hates Onlyfans because it gives women financial and sexual independence (despite the average Onlyfans creator getting less than $200 a month). Like who are these moids she's talking about? Where are they? How is she finding them?

Doesn't make a difference for men

How else are you supposed to get through the book

this particular one is married lol

if ur jealous bout that i got some drugs to sell ya

Reminds me of a review of the Handmaid's Tale (the book, not the series) in Exiled from the 90s or early 00s:

Handmaid's Tale is meant to reassure every wretched office-worker who goes home to a cat, a VCR, and Pizza-for-one that her life is noble and progressive. Handmaid's Tale is fun horror-fiction for women who work in the American-style cubicle-world precisely because it's so utterly unrelated to the miseries and terrors of their own lives. No one wants to force middle-class American women to have babies. In fact, it's almost impossible for them to contemplate having kids, because they're terrified that it might set them back in their careers, and their rivals in the adjacent cubicles would grab their parking spaces and health plans. Nobody wants to use their bodies. That's precisely the horror with which they live: no one wants to mate with them because in their world, every single striver must fear every other, and the sort of joint action involved in mating and rearing one's young is impossible—laughable, a thing which only those who have abandoned the hope of A Career can contemplate. So in their minds, mating and rearing children moves down in class, becoming a thing for rednecks and (though they'll never say this part out loud) immigrants-of-color. The desire to have children gets bounced outside oneself, onto these lesser beings, and returns, courtesy of Atwood, in demonized form, as the tyranny of procreation, family values and the Patriarchy. It's the horror they love to fear.

This you?

Was getting caught masturbating part of your plan?

I love Bane posting

If bitching about moids on reddit is more appealing than any of the moids on offer, that kind of speaks for itself, right?

She covers that in the piece a bit: women want to be in relationships/married, just like men do, but they are happier to settle for being single then settle for a lame man, men are more desperate to be in a relationship, especially as they get older. Think about all those old windowers who remarry right away.

There's a term in negotiation theory, best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA) and for many women their BATNA is being medium-happy by themselves. They're happier to walk away from table, so they have more leverage in the "negotiation" of a relationship.

and most older single women I know seem a bit lonely or directionless

where u finding these sometimes i really wonder the friendgroup of dramanauts

Unlike even Aella though who tries to put it in Excel and pretend you can actually correlate the data she's just saying stuff, none of it actually proved or even suggested by anything at all. Many Rationalists just like saying stuff, not actually arguing them with clear points in a way that addresses it. Most of these people are gay, brown, live alone, drink wine, are underage, love gooning, and say things about people that they don't even try to prove.

yes shes entertaining and admits she might as well have

Tragically for our straggot brothers, not everyone can appreciate and enjoy the superiority of the male form

Eating that many carbs in the middle of the day will do it king

If you're a man you shouldn't care how they're doing since you can probably date someone ten years younger than them

There is some relation between this and adipose tissue (fat) catalyzing estrogen.

make men and women equal but men still have a monopoly is all im saying

Asked and answered, your honor.

But how do we know older single women are as happy as they claim?https://t.co/9FLLkxNzHJ pic.twitter.com/7idtZsXuKO

Weiningerpilled

You're very special

She's right that the "you'll be sad and lonely without me!!" is obvious moidcope, actually regardless of whether it's true or not.

I think it's true for some or in many cases, but I also think it's a bit delusional to believe women are always 100% better and happier in all their choices and never regret rejecting men in general or an individual man. I think we all know of women who turned down or blew up their relationship with a perfectly good man for something short term with a "better" (not always clearly better in the cases I'm aware of, but had something their current guy lacked I guess), or for an abstract idea of a better life (dropping the family at 45 to go to Bali Eat, Pray, Love style). There's also a bit of greed/selfishness brought about by feminism where they resent anything that might make a man happy, even if it isn't hurting them and they might also enjoy it a bit too. This leads many women to reject any prisoner's dilemma, even if the result would be a stag hunt (a family, a happy partnership with a man, etc.).

Anyway, before everyone got so invested in defending women at all costs this type of regret used to be represented in songs, books, movies, etc. It also used to be commonly understood love at first sight or getting the absolute best partner one can get as a requirement before settling down is foolish, sometimes one has give someone who is decent a chance and love comes later. Anyway, here's an anthem for the femcels.
