A perfect marriage or relationship is an illusion; there's no universal playbook for making them work. What's effective for one couple may not apply to another. Nevertheless, I've come to understand that there's always a solution to be found. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such trials in our marriage that divorce seemed inevitable. Yet, through perseverance and determination, we navigated through the rough waters and emerged stronger, reunited, and more resilient.

As long as the group is functioning, I don’t necessarily think men want every man to be hypercompetent, and if so, THEY would want to be the MOST hypercompetent. At the end of the day, men care about reputation and status. So when men celebrate another man and showcase his competence to women, other men would want the same treatment. ALSO showcasing a competent man who’s in your circle also has benefits for YOU as the video mentioned the “reflective glory” and what not.

There is reason to believe that most markers for 'attractiveness' are health markers. A sickly, underfed child becomes asymmetrical, twisted, short, and thin, while a strong, healthy one becomes tall, square-shouldered (or curvy, depending on your sex), and straight. A lot of these traits are heritable, so it's completely understandable that both men and women would seek them out even if they don't understand why they are doing so. This hurts those individuals who lose themselves in the world of the mind because their focus on the non-physical can result in them getting that sickly appearance, even when it is not their genetic heritance. Another way to phrase this is that losing yourself too much in the world of the mind is, itself, a kind of sickness. A nerd who is not only smart but also wise can be taught that in addition to the books, he also needs to hit the gym. He may not care in such superficialities as whether he is pale and covered in cookie crumbs, but it is a means of communication if he leaves those symptoms there for anyone else to see. In the end, the body is the vehicle for the brain, and a neglected body can become a liability no matter how powerful the brain inside it is. If this were explained to more nerds, I don't doubt that a lot less of them would be quite so nerdy.

You're primarily talking about gold diggers, which is foolish of you to focus on, especially because that's not what Peterson is talking about. Your contention within the framework Peterson is talking about doesn't recognize that losing significant wealth usually is because something of competence went wrong OR it reveals the man was never competent to begin with. After the money is gone things get worse. Married couples who were destitute from the start ALSO struggle despite him having married her while having nothing, which happens ALL the time. You'd actually have to content for the fact that women marry below financial stability for love ALL THE TIME. So there are gold diggers, that everyone knows is only in it for the money, and the man agrees to that arrangement. There are women who learn that the money was luck--not competence. There are couples who break up due to the stress of financial problems after loss. There are couples who don't break up despite the stress of financial loss. Your bad attitude is pungent.

So interesting. Peterson is so on point. I like what he was saying towards the middle of the video... He isn't out of touch like a lot of academics. I have attended a number of fishing events where at the end all the guys do a "fish fry". Thats where everyone contributes all of their fish so that everyone can eat. Sometimes there are 70 people, or maybe 10 or 15 people. What is so interesting about it is that sometimes i dont catch anything and someone else may catch 5 fish or vise versa. The other person with the fish contributes all of his fish so that I can eat. In the end, everyone eats the same amount and no one is eyeing anyone down, all of the providers are always happy to have provided and all of the provided for are thankful to eat just as well as the providers. Its really a wholesome thing to see. Leftists think more politically conservative people are not compassionate but the leftists just arnt there to see examples of when they are very compassionate. Its technically not fair to the individuals who caught all the fish to feed the underproviders but in the end everyone eats equally and they are actually happy to provide for the pack. I think its because people can see further into the future than that fish fry. They realise the importance of everyone eating and they see the value every individual.

I wanted a man who would be honest, be transparent, love family, be a companion and partner and be loyal to me; a man of principal. I also wanted him to read, to be physically active and enjoy some of the activities I that I enjoyed like dancing, camping, biking, swimming, exploring and to be trustworthy. I did expect him go work and have a job but he did not have to make oddles of money or even have a degree.. Spirituality was more important than an actual religion and the ability to laugh would be great. . I hoped he would be open minded, non biased or non predigious. It was more about a high level of emotions, a love of learning rather than a formal degree or a high salary. In return I would give him the same.

Situations are volatile and highly infinitive often unique in almost every occurrence. Every occurrence between the two opposite sexes produces new results hence making it difficult to set convention for the next

Wasn’t much of a “challenge.” They didn’t even disagree

If you have not read it, I highly recommend James Carse's book 'Finite and Infinite Games'. He observes that the entire point of a finite game - ANY finite game - is to produce winners and losers, such that the winners gain and the losers are silenced. Even the losers gain by continuing to remember and support the outcomes of past games because if no finite game's outcome was remembered and supported, there would be no point to the game at all. So long as the game continues to exist, even losers may have a chance to win it at a future time, at which time they will want those results to be remembered and supported. The other way is to play wholly different kinds of games - infinite games - with not only no winners or losers but no beginning or ending. But in this context, finding a mate is necessarily a finite game because there can only be one winner for a particular mate and everyone else loses, and that mate's fertility is very bounded in time.

Thanks Doc!

Fascinating. Well, guess I am SoL for women because I've only ever competed against myself and, and I've seen a wee bit of Combat, the way to really influence outsomes in that realm is by being #2 but more so #3 in order of "shaper"... ie... CDR, XO, S3/Operations. And be good enough you get the leeway of being 'name-tagged' so you can gravitate towards making a bigger difference. I'm also SoL on money side because I've never cared about money. Personal opinion is that it if your goal is positive influence, more often than not, it's better to operate near or in the shadows. JMO.

Also think, if you properly align yourself with the higher competence group, given that the potential is there, one might be able to learn and ascend to a high point within the hierarchy as a result of this decison to cooperate

Wealth is an indicator of hardwork and having power over society, which is a product of competence. So transitively it can be concluded that women use wealth as a criteria for deciding competence.

Total amount of extractable value

One issue I see with the competence argument is that through much of human history after large civilizations were established and a 'ruling class' was formed - say, in the last 10000 years - competence and wealth were not linked. Kings, emperors and other leaders of large groups, and later of states, were the wealthiest men, but not always the most competent in acquiring wealth. Some were actually notorious for wasting massive amounts of it. Yet they were still highly desired by women. This is what leads me to believe that it may not be competence, but something else that makes men attractive to women and respected / envied by other men. One theory is that it may be 'capability' - as in having the possibility to do as many things as possible, or influence the world around them to the highest degree possible. I like this theory better than the competence theory because it does not specify how skilled someone is at what they do, but it only proposes that one must be capable of exerting a lot of influence on the people around them. This includes the most competent men, but it also includes those men who wield a lot of wealth and influence but are incompetent at wielding it. Both these groups, history shows, have been very desirable to women. Curious to see what people think about this.

@@dominicekezie2011 I see your point. It seems to me, though, that for most of human history wealth was not correlated with the capacity to work at all. It was actually a sign of high status to not work. So wealth as a proxy for hard work or skilled work is quite a recent phenomenon. The idea that the wealth would dry up is also a fairly recent phenomenon. For nobility, in many instances (let's name Caligula in ancient Rome and king Farouk in the 20th century) a lavish and even wasteful lifestyle meant no jeopardy whatsoever to their wealth.

To me I think it’s competency and capability. I’ve seen plenty of cases where a man has a wonderful and attractive partner even if they don’t have the wealthiest job, high-profile profession, or is the most powerful in the room. Sure, those super high status males of course, have a higher chance at having a highly attractive female. But imho I find it’s not exclusive to just that population. To me, if a female sees you are good and effective at your job, capable and able to protect his loved ones, and can show he is true to her she will stay with him. Those existing traits also show he has future potential to do more, and keep his tribe (family) alive (not homeless and destitute) if shit hits the fan.

You're not the only one with KZread comments freezing your phone. This was never an issue until a KZread upgrade over a month ago. KZread really needs to pay attention and look into this.

"The first thing you think is that guy is rich." Wow, who knew women thought like that?

The simple evolutionary explanation is, people want to surround themselves with whomever they think will increase their chances of survival.

I’ve experienced multiple examples in which I meet a new woman at a bar, another woman sees her interest and she is instantly interested in me too. It’s like I’m going to meet no women or multiple women compete to be with me.

I have no issue with what JP says here, but if it doesnt fit your characteristics and relationship, it's ok. A relationship is negotiated by two people. Why not use the strengths of each person, whether they conform to stereotypical 'masculine' or 'feminine' characteristics or not? I (female) have been married for 27 years. For the last 15 years, I have employed my husband. I will continue to be the main bread winner into the last 10 years of our money earning period of life. What's important to me is that he isn't freaked out or emasculated by my professional success (such as it is). He always has my back, he celebrates my strengths as I celebrate his, and he makes me laugh like no other. I'm the strategic thinker for the business, but we are equally the strategic thinkers and decision makers for our family. Find someone who loves you for who you are. But also, work to be the best version of that self. Be authentic, be kind. I wish you all happiness and contentment in life.

Women expect everything but only offer themselves.

True but most guys would agree that the amount of time and money they spend on their physical appearance has heavily diminishing returns. They could dial it way back and it would still have a lot of value. Same with men. Men could afford to up their game when it comes to increasing their physical appeal and fashion sense. Also, women will often be the first to tell you they don't do it for a man so even discussing this is just inviting vitriol from the perpetually offended

When I was in my teens, I knew a woman who was in her early twenties. She was beautiful and also had a beautiful body, but couldn't seem to attract men. I knew a man that thought she was drop-dead gorgeous, and very nice ... yet he wouldn't ask her for a date, because he thought she would refuse him and he didn't want to be embarrassed by such a refusal. There were a lot of datable men around, but they all must have felt the same. At long last ... one of THE most unattractive men, with a dull personality ... nothing to offer ... not even money ... dared to ask her out on a date ... and being desperate she grabbed at the chance. They ended up getting married. He wanted a boy, and when she gave birth to their third girl, he slammed the phone in her ear. He didn't treat her at all well, but being Catholic, she thought she had to stay with him for the rest of her life ... which is what occurred. My guess is, when she couldn't get a date for so long ... her self-esteem went through the floor ... and she grabbed at the first chance to marry. What a shame!

I have no interest in peacocking my status/wealth/success to attract a woman. She either likes me for my personality and my looks or not. If she's making that decision based on what I can provide then I absolutely don't want her

It is a fool's errand for a man to compete with other men for the purpose of being attractive to women. Women cannot be pleased and will interfere with all of your plans. The only women worth having are those who are drawn to you for yourself and want to get on your program. And you have to value yourself before that happens.

My mum is sat in West Yorkshire, at 88 years of age, she says Americans have this way of life. They don't think anything of being married four to six times and going with an ugly for the money.

I dunno - I agree with this hypothesis of men being more attractive based on money. Notwithstanding, when i was dating as a young man at college, i found that most women were indifferent to what i was studying (business managemwnt/information ststems) versus my peers. Perhaps it was because we were all generally competent

@AIRFGC

Women in college are in their "discovering themselves" phase, they just want short term fun. When they get older and the biological clock starts ticking, they "realize" what traits are desirable in a long term mate -- once they've had their fun, then they're ready to get serious.

Great conversation. I've often found it confusing (and disparaging) the way men stick together and support each other in what I experience, as a woman, to be sexual harassment. They approach getting a sexual mate as a team event!

Everything that man just said is absolutely right. However, how are we expected to attain wealth, status, ... etc at a young age? Specifically ranging between 18 and 24. Are we not supposed to pursue any relationships at this age frame? Even when we make it as men, would women be the ones pursuing us? The intent behind this topic catching my attention is that there is a girl I met in college. She is super beautiful, nice, and smart as well. I am 20, she's 19. However, I don't have any of the factors mentioned, yet. Should I ask her out? Should I not? Where would this possibly head to?

@jyc313

At your age, the potential for what you can bring, is important. Perhaps, more so than when you’re in your late 20’s or 30’s. That and the ability for her to feel like she can connect with you, and have a fun/interesting time. Basically, what I mean is that try to create (naturally) shared experiences that can make her feel emotionally connected to you beyond your looks, material possessions, words, etc. That emotional connection, if genuine and authentic is powerful. Show her your passions. Show her you have goals in mind, and the steps you are, or are planning to take. Show her you have opinions and perspective. Show her you also care about her passions, interests, goals even if they may not exactly be the same as your’s. Be yourself above all. Do not forget who you are as you do any of the above, and be sure to care for yourself first. If you bend at her every will without self respect she will know, and it will backfire. And if you ever feel a time is right to take the next step ask her out, in a casual and friendly manner. It’s all easier said than done, but at your age each moment is chance to test and hone your grit and pain tolerance for life. So even if all else fails, know that you have grown stronger mentally through it. Good luck.

Men carry the man on their shoulders, who was most responsible for winning the big game because they benefited, too. They all basked in the win.

This is based on if we where animals which we are not. We have our minds that separates us.

Thank U for seemingly complicated clarity... it makes perfect sense to me as a very masculine male.

Jordan looks healthy and fresh 👍

Men elevate the individual who’s most responsible for a win in sports because he elevates the status of all the other men. All of the guys have higher reproductive value with women as a result of a team win even if they weren’t the main reason for it. I disagree it’s out of a spirit to submit to the more competent man. The phenomenon of women pursuing the perception of competence is real though. We called them jersey chasers in college. It why I focused on football more than my schoolwork.

This one got me feeling bad actually. I’m 18 yo at the moment and I have not achieved anything significant yet. There is this girl that I’ve started taking a liking to recently, I’m pretty sure she is interested in me as well. The thing is, I’m worried that as soon as she gets to know me a little better, she realizes there really isn’t that much to me as of now. (It’s happened to me before) It’s making me question whether pursuing a relationship is even worth trying at this point in time, because I don’t want to sabotage myself by allowing myself to become a disappointment to someone love, resulting in self hatred. Are there any people who’d care to give me some perspective, or perhaps even advice?

Pienter! Hello! I just wanted to say that first, you're value and worth are not determined by a woman's opinion of you OR your professional status and quality of living. The only thing that defines you truly are the words of your creator who says you're fearfully and wonderfully made. Jesus our Lord paid the ultimate price on the cross just to have a relationship with you. The whole world itself can't even measure up to how valuable you truly are. This is first and foremost. Secondly Pienter, at 18 years old, there is so much that you can do and become. I'm 19 now and even though there is a road paved for me by God to succeed in abundance in the medical field for his glory and purposes, it will still take years to unfold. This is such with our dreams and visions. At 18 (and even 18-25 approximately) you are in the golden years of a young man or woman to build themselves into not just materialistic success with a respectable career (employed at a high level or self-employed). You are at the point where you need to understand you can do so much more because you can BE so much more. It's the period of growth, change, accountability, discipline, how you choose to genuinely approach life in this world, and how you choose to impact others. Remember BECOMING the man that you; 're meant to be is more important than DOING the things he'd do. A genuine woman who is worth your salt (yes worth your salt because remember, you're incredibly VALUABLE the same way everyone else is) and is a woman that you could reasonably pursue at this time will understand your mission, vision, and the direction you're headed and SUPPORT you and bring out the BEST in you as you with her. If she doesn't respect and admire you enough to walk in that direction with you, she wasn't meant to be YOUR woman, and you lost NOTHING because many REAL wonderful women will see you for more than your current success, they'll see who you really are and how you're pursuing the path you're on (but regardless of who enters your life, you must still pursue this)

Thats quick

Interesting.

The last evolutionary tactic seems to be what many Instagram influencers did 5-6 years ago. Surround themselves with highly attractive women or models which would boost the jealously factor with other women viewing them. Dr. David Buss discusses this in his book Evolutionary Psychology and many other books on mating. Helen Fischer is also an interesting scientist on mating.

Approaching the 5-0, and this sounds vaguely familiar.

If wealth is increasingly concentrated in society among the few, because wealth creates more wealth, because of inherent aspects of urbanization of humankind that promote economic disparity, and other specific societal corruptions that weaken meritocracy, women often choose men with lower quality overall traits than they realize? How does malicious gossip and misconceptions play into taking down the competition? Take for example a dictatorship, oligarchy, and monarchy versus a free market democracy with meritocracy mechanisms, including laws of equality that help prevent corruption of the playing field?
