I'm going to attempt to relate this back to business.
Keep in mind I am 23 and the following may not apply to all demographics, but it certainly does to mine.
Some of you know that I broke it off with my girlfriend of 3 years last year because of cheating. In fact, the only girl I've ever not been cheated on by, was cheating on her boyfriend with me.
In the past year, I've had 6 micro-relationships that I ended within weeks. The last one involved a girl I was seeing for a month and I made very accurate depictions of what was going to happen. She went to Vegas with her girlfriends, I predicted she would meet someone, yell yolo, and hit the bedroom, and she would come back and lie about it, and that's EXACTLY what happened haha.
So, I went through a bit of an identity crisis. What's wrong with me? As it turns out, I don't think there is ANYTHING wrong with me. There are two common denominators in every one of the relationships I've had and witnessed, me and the female psyche. So if it's not me, it must be the female psyche.
Now I know what you're thinking, you arrogant a$$, why would you say that? Well for THE LONGEST TIME I kept blaming myself. I'm an alpha male. I'm opinionated. I go to the gym. I have lots and lots of money. I meet new girls who are interested in me constantly. I don't suck in bed haha. Every girl, including my cheating ex, comes crying back proclaiming their everlasting love and how sorry there are... So what's wrong?
I think feminism killed the nuclear family.
Do you know the percent of girls I know that idolize Marilyn Monroe? 100%. The percent that idolize Jenna Jameson and are in love with James Deen? 100%. The percent of girls I know who've cheated in a relationship (including my friends)? 100%. Just looking at statistics from askmen.com about how women feel about infidelity and cheating shows they actually believe they have a right to cheat. That's right. The girl who went to Vegas that I broke it off with began telling everyone I'm controlling and that I was telling her what to and not to do with her body. I could care less who she hooked up with in Vegas, but she was asking me for commitment, one sided commitment. She actually went on an entire rant about how it was her right to do what she wanted to in Vegas and I fully agree... but that doesn't mean I'm going to stick around a committed whipped man as I get treated like dirt. What happened when I turned around and did the same thing back (take into account I DIDN'T ask for commitment and straight forward told her there was none), all hell broke loose.
I always envisioned my life progressing forward as two people. I never envisioned myself being alone, but that's all starting to change. While men like myself created a generation where we look at ourselves as equals to women and look for true partnership in relationships, I think the vast majority of women my age are acting like your 1950's husband haha. It was wrong when the man did it and it's wrong when the woman does it.
My future now includes a sole individual progressing through life, myself.
So, what are your thoughts? Do you agree? Do you disagree?
Better yet... I'm foreseeing the death of the nuclear family. Divorce rates and infidelity rates are so incredibly high that it's virtually pointless to ever enter a relationship. The chance that I, in my demographic, will get cheated on in even a year long relationship now is what I am presuming to be 100%. SO, what new industries would pop up around the idea that long term relationships are a thing of the past? How will dating websites change? What new social clubs will pop up in a polyamorous society?
Just to clarify:
I am a REALLY really nice guy at heart. You may say I must have been an a**hole to deserve to get cheated on, but honestly, if I told you the full story (which would take hours), I think you would think the same too now. So, where am I at? I'm a socialite, I go to clubs, I have lots of friends, and I meet lots of people. When I know a girl is interested, I tell her straight up that I am not looking for commitment or a relationship. Things progress, shit goes down, girl asks for relationship, I decline, and everyone calls me an a**hole. I feel like I finally understand why "all guys are assholes." I'm not being an a**hole, I'm simply defending myself and my happiness. I've been waiting for that girl to come along and prove everything I think wrong, but I'm regretfully 100% right in my doomsday prophecies and I'm no longer waiting. If I judge my happiness based on a mythical faithful partner in life I'm going to be miserable. It's time to accept I am alone and learn to love it.
