Females are basically egregores. They only have "value" when you believe that they have value.

Modern romance has been memed into a humiliation ritual.

I loathe how men are willingly becoming complacent with being cattle for the sake of women. Especially when there's so many other things you can put love into. You are putting on a jester costume to enter the roster of a woman's transactional and soulless history. Kids who are being raised on the fucking internet might actually think that the crux of "love" is impressing women and seeing it as a competitive game.

Love is not a game.

You will flaunt about the way you """worked on yourself""" to get the "girlfriend" but never asked yourself if she "worked on herself" and that's exactly the problem.

Even through all of this, you low key know that this transactional relationship will end one day at the behest of, you guessed it, the girl. and then you will feel LE SAD which only contributes to the bullshit soft-power women arbitrarily holds in modern dating culture, all perpetuated from arbitrary gender roles.

And the worst thing is that you passively ACCEPT THIS and you still continue to perpetuate it.

This is exactly why I actively support AI-companionship and artificial wombs. The thing that they will replace wasn't worth it in the first place.
