Don't have to imagine it, I lived it with my ex-wife
When we started off she wasn't into church at all, just a regular every day woman
She met someone from the evangelical church at work and that was it
gradually, little by little, church on Sunday became bible study group on Wednesday, then volunteering on Friday, then more church on Saturday
Before I knew it she was in church 4-5x/week
I've read enough to make the conscious choice to not be christian, which of course goes against the evangelical teachings (being married to a non-christian is unequal yoke- I agree actually).
So then the beefing and problems started when I didn't want to go to church, boom boom boom about 2 years later I filed for divorce.
She refused to cooperate in any way because divorce is also against evangelical teaching (at least her church was)
Never mind the unequal yoke part
It is what it is
I understand completely that's exactly what happened with my ex and I. She even tried to put me onto all that stuff. Now I was never religious but I believed in God. So I told her if you believe in Jesus that's fine I aint worried about it.
But as time went on she kept pushing shyt on me. She used to read lots of different books then it was only the Bible. She used to listen to all kinds of music then it became only gospel. She used to watch all kinds of shows then it became sermons from fake prophets on youtube and religious propaganda films. She even bought me a Bible. At the time I thought nothing of it but she was proselytizing me and disrespecting my boundaries.

I was willing to give this a try since it was something she loved. I read some of it OK but thats when the disagreements came. She had an issue with my music I like hip-hop music but there's all kinds of hiphop yet she said all of it was just evil. But she didnt like Kendrick, Cole, n them type music. Then she had an issue with meditation from Eastern philosophies and called it demonic. Keep in mind meditation is scientifically proven to treat stress, and lots of mental health issues. The list goes on. She even began having issues with sex due to feeling guilt about sex before marriage.

She also did not believe in abortion anymore and did not want to be on birth control so I didnt want to have sex anymore either. I realized I was no longer dealing with the same woman and her rationality had gone out the window she was living in a full on fantasy. We had so many disagreements. Crazy too because had it gone how she wanted we would have been married and like you I would've had to get a divorce or suffer through that.

Since then I've done a lot of studying on theology and the various Abrahamic religions and what I actually believe and read some science centered books. I've come to the conclusion that I am agnostic and I do not believe in the Bible or any religion. Rather I center my morality behind a humanist perspective for my life.

I've said before and I'll say it again on here. The number of agnostic/atheistic/non-Christian men severely outnumber the number of women. The religion used for our enslavement has a strong hold on our people and it is causing issues for us. Not the church itself but the religion. The church provides positive space for people to come together. In my opinion we need more non religious forms of those spaces where we come together as a community. But I digress I'm getting off topic

I listen to enough men speaking in real life, podcasts, social media, etc. to know men are just as delusional.

“What do you bring to the table” talk is just as delusional as “I am the table” talk.

Both sexes are equally tripping, but I’m a man, so I’m speaking from a man’s perspective.

If you want to deep dive into how stupid it is for a protector and provider to go into a relationship asking what he’s getting out of it *hint hint, hopefully a great partner, mother to your children and… well, children* we can do that another time. I gotta get some work done.
I dont listen to any relationship podcasts besides the clips I see that are posted here. So maybe that is why my perspective is off. Typically the other singld men I have talked to about this are looking for someone good not perfect as well

A quick Google search:

"Settle down" generally means to become calm, quiet, or orderly, or to start living a routine and stable life. It can also mean to make someone or something quiet or calm.”

Settle: accept or agree to (something that one considers to be less than satisfactory).


Definitely not the same.

You needed to google definitions? :heh:

Again, you’re focused on settling in terms of the woman you choose. Im focused on the choice of lifestyle. The definition you pulled from says it in plain English: ‘living a routine, stable life’. We’re men that isn’t even our nature :heh: That’s settling!

There a ton of behaviors and things you put up with in a relationahip that, left to your own devices, you wouldn’t chose for yourself. Do you WANT to go apple picking. Do you WANT to go to bed at 9 bc she goin to bed. Do you WANT to fukk 1 woman the rest of your life. Do you WANT to occasionally be micromanaged and have chores. Do you WANT to have to negotiate sex

I pick the worst examples but there are plenty benign ones as well. No, you would not prefer to do any of those things. But you SETTLE for that lifestyle bc it benefits you in other ways.

An example of not settling in that regard is Neyo, or Elon Musk, or Will smith :dame: Etc. Those options are not feasible to the avg man so instead of hoping it becomes available down the line, you are settling aka settling down

The richer people are today, the more likely they are to get married — and stay married



“A major survey of 127,545 American adults found that married men are healthier than men who were never married or whose marriages ended in divorce or widowhood.”



Continue to buck the system though. It’s doing wonders for our people.

:wow:

I been married and out the game awhile and the last of my nikkas who really doing something in they life just got engaged on some spin the block shyt like a couple weeks ago. So I can't pretend to fully know the dynamics of what nikkas is going through now, but in general I gotta call it like I see it based on what I saw with him and the shyt I see online. nikkas is just not realistic about what they should honestly be seeking in a relationship, and how they gotta go about getting it.

Its like these days dudes is almost as susceptible to dreams being sold to them as broads are. Living and dying by all these podcasts and shyt, and believing every nikka with a mic in front them telling them what they wanna hear.

I still remember years ago Irv Gotti got on a podcast talking about "I just want a young bytch who will love me for me and not ask me for any money" nikka WHAT :dahell: You should have kept your bytch son, wtf would these young hoes want with you if money wasn't on the table? :mjlol: Like be for real my nikka.

Too many cats operating off wishful thinking. These chicks are smart breh. They are not going to agree to a bad deal, just like you ain't. You gotta assess what you're able/willing to give, and what you're asking for in a relationship. The likelihood of you being a 40 year old nikka pulling a 21-25 year old who wants you for you, will have your kids, and will split bills 50/50 and all that shyt is slim. Plan your dating life and act accordingly. You 45 and can provide a middle class lifestyle for a family. The 38 year old chick who ain't had kids yet but know her clock is ticking might be a better fit for you.
Yea after a while you have to change your standards to reflect your reality.

Men think as long as they established a woman should be happy with them and their baggage. And what they fail to realize is the pool is slim and mostly likely you are going to end up either a woman close to 40 that may not even want kids no more. She going to have some weight on her and she is probably independent. Them young hoes that do want you want and need your money. They not going to be 25 fresh outta college with a great career and willing to settle down either a 45 year old.

I know too many dudes still looking for these women. They don’t realize they ain’t as desirable to these women as they would be if they were 35. Once I turned 38 I knew I needed to get out of the game because I was no longer having fun playing it. It became a chore.

agreed....

brehs gotta stop shopping for the phattest azz and get someone compatible.....
I been saying that so many dudes are obsessed with the idea of having this bad ass wife that they are also have a lot in common with and she is loyal. Man get you and adjustable 6 that you are compatible with and keep it moving. If you lucky get a 7 but stop prioritizing fat asses and sex appeal when you over here with a gut and high blood pressure

Old women hated that guys will date younger. They know they washed and damaged so they try to make you feel bad for being with a younger woman. If you 35 and childless what is a 35 year old woman going to do for you? She got about a year and a half left in the tank to have kids
I dare you to write that on LSA :russ:

:wow:

First of all, I never said settling was bad :ufdup:

Second, this is a wonderful study but a base level understanding of causation will tell you that, obviously , these stats are skewed bc there are plenty of conditions that are likely to be indicative of married people, as opposed to being caused by being married.

Ie if you’re in better health, it’s bc you have access to health care, bc you have a career, a 9-5 job, all veer you closer to marriage. The marriage is not CAUSING you to be more healthy or make more money

Lastly, now this is actually funny:

Good marriages promote health and longevity, but stressful and shattered marriages have the opposite effect

:heh::wtf:

Well that settles it! Just make sure you have a GOOD marriage and you’re good to go! Eazy peazy

I tried, breh. We had a good amount of things in common, except fitness. The fitness thing would be the thing that broke us up, ironically. I was one of those workout all the time types. She seldom worked out but kept in shape through her job. To keep a long story short, I put on weight and chilled out. She stated "I'm not the same man she met and fell in love with." We went our separate ways and I was confused as well as heartbroken.

There is definitely more to this story. But I’m not about to get all in your business.
Some people have said it in this thread, find someone you are compatible with, work on building that relationship and getting to know them before sex. Getting to know them doesn’t mean what’s her favorite color or food. It’s asking the awkward uncomfortable questions like about fitness and morals religion deal breakers. Why her last relationship ended. Etc

Using a rating is just as problematic. Are you attracted to her? Yes or no. Putting rating on a SO is wild.
