Here’s a recent family photo from homeschooling advocate Jeremy Wayne Tate.

Not many women (or men) will end up as fortunate as this. Especially if you don’t even try.

I was thinking about “Mrs. Midwest.”

First of all, she is definitely a babe. 10/10 for Looks.

Also, she seems to be a Good Wife and a Good Mother. I’ll give her a 9/10 for Character although who knows.

She is maybe not so brainy, but does it matter much? At least she is smart enough to know what is really important: 1) Don’t Be Fugly; 2) Get Married and Have Children; 3) Be a Good Wife and a Good Mother. Also, she is brainy enough to be an effective homeschooler for her children, if she choses to go that route, which she probably will. I’ll give her a 6/10 for Brains.

In other words, she is probably in the Top 3% of all American women, as a Wife and Mother — not as an Instagram bikini model, or M&A lawyer.

Also, she married a regular guy, not an imaginary guy, and not a Top 0.01% guy. She has a comfortably middle class, but not wealthy lifestyle, and seems to be happy enough about that. Her husband is probably a Top 10% guy.

Let’s see what the Female Delusion Calculator says:

Age: 26-35, unmarried
Race: White
Height: 5’8″ or taller, and not obese
Income: at least $80,000.

Percentage of men in that age group that meet all characteristics: 2.0%.

Way to go Mrs. Midwest!

Lucky husband.

Let’s catch up with TradBabe TradMom Mrs. Midwest.

If you want to be a wife and mother, then just do that.

I used to think Brasil ’66 was a novelty band, but I’ve changed my mind.

In 1959, the median age of marriage for women was 20.

Half of the women were married at 20 or earlier.

The 1950s were a time when there was a big problem with premarital sex and teenage pregnancy. Divorce rates had already hit 25%, compared to about 5% before 1910 or 50% today. It wasn’t that idyllic. “Dating” was already well on its way to replacing “courtship.”

But, it sure was a lot better than today.

Actually, divorce and teenage pregnancy are a big part of the plot of this movie. But, the kids got married in the end.

Here are the original lyrics:

And the women who followed his advice were better off for it.

UPDATE: Kevin Samuels may have been murdered.

Here we are, twelve years after items like “The Misandry Bubble” told us most all we really need to know. In those twelve years, many, many men gained a much better understanding of the situation as it stands today.

Also, we have seen, to my surprise, after millions and millions of comments made directly to those women themselves, in the starkest and most direct language imaginable, that women still know nothing, or at least, will admit to nothing. Here is a typical example.

Basically, she says:

“Men aren’t interested in marriage because they saw some stuff on social media.”

“Women should just tell men what they want.”

Big surprise.

We know that women are capable of some level of understanding, because of examples like Dr. Helen Smith. But, this is very rare, and does not seem to have become more common in the last decade.

Thus, it falls upon men to make all the necessary changes — to the legal system, and to women’s behavior.

In other words, Matriarchy Does Not Exist.

At the beginning of 2010, Imran Khan summed up where things stood regarding men and marriage. Drawing upon many sources of that time, and synthesizing them skillfully, the post has stood the test of time remarkably well. Here it is:

I recommend it to women especially, at least the brainier ones, as it will help you to understand what is happening to you.

But, I think that, in the end, women will not be much help. Men will fix the problem, on the broader scale, when they begin to punish women for bad behavior. This might mean tying them to a post and whipping them. It was what had to be done in the past, to keep societies from breaking apart.

It is troubling to think that this was written at the dawn of online dating. Things are so much worse now.

For those women who want to be part of the solution, and not just follow the herd of women into the flaming pits of hell (I mean in this temporal world, not some afterlife), the process is simple:

Get married young. Remain a virgin until marriage. Marry some real-world man that is interested in you — the best you can get, obviously, but it must be a real man in the real world who is interested in you, not an imaginary man, or a man who is “interested in you” but not interested in marrying you beforehand. Plan to have children early, and raise them during your twenties. Plan on being a stay-at-home Mom, and, given the state of things today, plan to homeschool. Plan to stay married indefinitely.

While this post has much insight, nevertheless I think there is something lacking, which is this: Marriage is not primarily a way to portion out women to men equitably. It is not a way for more men to get laid. It is primarily an institution for begetting and raising children. Especially in a state of advanced civilization, children require an enormous investment in education and training, not only of the academic kind, but in a wide variety of matters. And, civilizations that do not raise children, in a manner that sustains and advances the civilization (in other words, children are as well or better raised than their parents), will perish — not necessarily by demographic extinction, but by being overrun by some more successful civilization.

These days, the instructions for women are clear:

1. Do not destroy your family.
2. Raise your children well.

Most women do not accomplish this. So, you will have to do things differently than most women.

Today’s item is for these men who are ambivalent about marrying their long-term girlfriends.

I was one of those men. I married my wife after being together for six years, most of that time living together. I was also ambivalent about it. We recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary.

In those days (the 1990s), young men had a vague sense that marriage brought a lot of trouble but not a lot of advantages, while having a live-in girlfriend had a lot of advantages but not a lot of trouble. This is certainly even more true now, and rather than a vague sense, many young men have a much more precise understanding that marriage is a bad deal for most men. This has two basic aspects: 1) a legal structure that encourages divorce-raping good men; 2) women’s bad behavior, including (but not limited to) the fact that about 90% of divorces are effectively initiated by women’s bad behavior.

Things are, if anything, much worse today than twenty years ago. Also, my perspective is perhaps somewhat warped, because I actually have a very good wife. She is probably in the top 10% of wives in America today, which means that you would have a 90%+ chance of doing worse.

However …

As I’ve said, most of the good women are gone by Age 25. Although they may not be married, they are no longer single. They have already paired up with the man that (in the past) they eventually married. They have demonstrated the ability to pair bond and maintain a productive long-term relationship.

Guess what — you have one of those women.

Today, as I see it, about 50% of young women today basically do not meet the minimum requirements for marriage and family, when men meet them. Maybe they had the potential when they were 16 or 18, but not any more. They are unfit for marriage. They are not realistically fixable. If you marry one of these women, you will do worse than average, which, considering how bad the average woman is, should terrify you. These women are basically for the streets. Unfortunately, many men will marry women like this, even though they shouldn’t.

Of the remainder, about 20% — let’s say — are somewhat marginal. Barely adequate, Possibly fixable. They might work out, but it would probably be a struggle.

Then, there are the Top 30%. We men are going to have to take a stand somewhere, so let’s take a stand with the Top 30%. Someone should definitely marry these women, and make a go of it despite the perils. Don’t let them age out unmarried and childless.

Also, if you pass on this woman, you have to admit that the chances of finding another are somewhat slim, because, as I’ve said, the good women are gone quickly. The Top 30% of women are not the same as the Top 30% of the remaining single women that might be interested in you. It is more like the Top 5% of the leftovers.

Also, related to this, plan on having a family. Just plan on having 2-3 children, maybe 4-5. Plan on having 2-3 children within five years after your marriage. Don’t dilly dally. Even if it seems like “the timing isn’t right,” just do it anyway. Plan on homeschooling.

I would seriously consider getting a prenuptial agreement. This serves two functions. First, it might help ameliorate the very bad legal environment for men and marriage these days. Second, if your woman is strongly opposed, it suggests that she was always planning to divorce you anyway. or use her present legal advantages to manipulate and control you. It is a test of her character — among other things, a test of her willingness to follow your leadership. You might see a whole new side of your woman, and it might not be pretty. Maybe, you should just dump the bitch.

Remember, a prenup is irrelevant if you don’t get divorced. And, a good woman wasn’t planning on using the threat of divorce, or false domestic violence claims etc., to manipulate and control you. So, although a little hesitancy is to be expected, a good woman probably won’t have much opposition to a prenup agreement. The best women will understand that the present legal situation is a terrible cancer on the formation of successful families, and will understand that, in today’s environment, a prenup agreement is a good way for men and women both to attempt to construct a more productive legal framework.

I would also avoid getting a “marriage license.” You can get married without a “marriage license,” and people did for centuries. Heck, you can “get married” just living together! (Common law marriage.) So, do not sign any contracts with the government. No no no.

I suggest a small, quick wedding and a long honeymoon. Keep the cost under $5000. Get it done in a month or two if you can, with family and a few friends.
