Raise Your SMV by Learning How to Negotiate Commitment in a Romantic Relationship [Activities]

Google “fear of commitment” and you will get more than 32 millions hits, many of them with titles like the ones above. Are so many people really that afraid of commitment?

Most people are not truly afraid of commitment, rather they are commitment illiterate. They don't understand what commitment means and how to negotiate mutually beneficial arrangements. The result is a fear and distrust of the unknown, rather than a fear of the commitment itself. 

Be a Hero, Raise Your SMV: Act 1 [Hero's Journey]

Last week we discussed how dating that leads to marriage can be likened to a Hero's Journey. This post will continue that theme by discussing how to start your journey towards romantic fulfillment by taking on the Relationship Quest.

The stories that we tell ourselves and others are powerful. They change our thought patterns, our behaviour and the outcome of our life. When we think of our lives as a grand epic, a story of heroism and the triumph of virtue over evil we will then conform to that expectation.

What is Dating and Courtship?

We have lots of sentimental, subjective ideas about romantic relationships. That's to be expected since the very act of falling in love tends to shut off our objective reasoning in a sea of happy, horney hormones.

Coordinating the seeming randomness of falling in love is a series of powerful social technologies that we call the Sexual Marketplace. Describing them that way might sound cold even mechanistic, however by thinking of dating and courtship as technologies can have a very positive impact on our romantic lives.

Here is a great explanation of something that has confused many people. What really makes an “alpha” or a “beta?” Noah J Revoy shows how these terms can only be understood fully when combining them with the r/K selection strategy concept.

MGTOW is an r-selected Beta survival strategy [Video]

Men who are r-selected encounter exclusively horrible r-selected women. These toxic women will destroy anyone they get into a romantic relationship with. Not dating such women is a smart move. Unlike K-selected men, who have access to K-selected women, the r-seleced man has no other romantic options.

Beta r-selected men wanting to avoid the pain and suffering of dating r-selected women are going their own way, giving up on dating, marriage and children. This might be a valid survival strategy for these men.

How to become a more K-selected man

Would you like to marry a quality K-selected women who will love you loyally for the rest of your life? Would you like to raise strong, well adjusted K-selected children? Would you like to be surrounded by a tribe of friends and family that you can trust? Are you concerned about the decay of western civilization into an r-selected, chaotic mess?

If you want a happy, healthy, marriage don't date an r-selected man.

The original concept of applying r/K selection theory to human behavior was expressed by Anonymous Conservative. Stefan Molyneux produced a series of easily digestible videos covering the subject. Stefan Molyneux - "Gene Wars | r/K Selection Theory" Series

Dying alone is no fun.

Dying alone is no fun.

In fact, it’s one of the worst ways to end a miserable life.

Dying with amazing children around you who have endless love and appreciation for you, and a wife/husband that you deeply respect and admire...well dying isn’t that great either way. 

But it beats the alternative.

Men, take charge of your romantic relationships [Video]

Men, if you want to find a quality, K-selected, traditional woman you will need to be worthy. That all starts with you taking charge of yourself and your romantic relationships. Get out there and ask her to be your girlfriend (followed by asking her to be your wife if everything works out). Make it happen, she's waiting for you to ask.

Build Your Dating Pipeline [Activity]

Finding your ideal spouse doesn't just happen. It takes time, effort, resources, and an effective plan. Without specific goals, a carefully thought out plan, a sound strategy and regular reflection on your progress the tendency is to repeat the same painful mistakes over and over again. 

Going from existing as a single person, usually with no immediate dating prospects to being part of a loving, happily married couple may seem like a monumental task. Seeing the enormity of it all may discourage you from even starting. You are not alone. Millions of men and women are facing the same challenges. 

Is Vanity a Virtue? [Guest Post]

How Important is Physical Attractiveness and How Harmful is Female Vanity?

To distinguish: I want to discuss physical attractiveness as a more-or-less “objective” measure, as opposed to physical “attraction” between two people, which is entirely subjective and not always directly related to their objective attractiveness. There can be “chemistry” or attraction between unattractive people (sometimes nothing more than sex drive/libido or r-selected characteristics at play).
