New data: IFStudies predicts 1/3rd of women will not be married

Source I’ve gone over the spinsterhood and childlessness projections before, They estimate it’s going to be about 25% in the long run, or approximately on the upper bounds of what I estimated. However, that’s just singleness and doesn’t necessarily include unwanted cohabitation. Therefore, the number of women that are unhappy is likely about 10% larger than that which would place that around 35%. The new data jives closely with what I predicted which would be the unwanted spinsterhood and unwanted cohabitation would likely be around 35%. Theoretically, it could still keep getting worse but ..read more

A Christian understanding of attraction, and the role it plays in marriage: Dominion is baked into the cake. Part 4

For those of you who have been following this blog for a long time, I’ve consistently refined this article as my understanding of the nature of God’s Creation of attraction Part 3 and the differences between sexual attraction and arousal has increased. This may be the final major piece of the puzzle as I’ve been thinking about this for more and more years, but perhaps it can be refined more in the future. However, I’ve decided to leave it as Part 4 for now instead of the Final take as there might be some slight revisions in the future. I’ve been thinking about and refining this over the past c ..read more

Institutional authority and Influential authority and how they interact with Genuine/Godly and Gentile authority
Christianity and masculinity | Christian Men's Blog

These two concepts are distinctly different from Genuine/Godly and Gentile Authority. I’ve talked about them a little before, but I wanted to make a post specifically on how they work. I think this brings a lot of light to much of the problems that happen in relationships and marriage. Institutional authority is basically what it says. The Bible distinguishes several Institutional authorities in our lives. For instance, the earthly authorities we are to obey as Christians. 1 Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme auth ..read more

Headship is still authority in marriage Part 2 addendum

It’s been stated, not only by DR, but others from what I’ve seen that nowhere is headship equated with authority. As we have established in the on Headship is authority in marriage and wifely submission is obedience, both Jesus in John 13-15 and Peter in 1 Peter 3 show that there is a hierarchy within marriage through Paul’s direct analogies. However, we also have evidence that Paul regards head as authority via 1 Corinthians 11. 1 Corinthians 11:1 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ. 2 Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just ..read more

Headship is still authority in marriage and wifely submission is obedience Part 2

And we’re back from arguments on headship, authority, submission, and obedience from Jack’s Invisible Magic Authority. Yay. We’ve gone over this many times on this blog, though this is probably the most recent on Gentile vs Genuine authority. For those of you who have been around since the beginning circa 2014 or 2015, I did not initially believe that headship meant authority, but as I studied the Scriptures more I came to believe it did. Derek makes an argument about grammar: There is never going to be any degree of understanding of the so-called “Peaceful Unity Model” without changes to the ..read more

You should rarely read secular manosphere blogs if at all

I was sorting through my e-mail the other day, and I stumbled across the mail of almost decade old blog posts from Christian and secular manosphere writers. That brought back another memory which I wrote that You should rarely read women’s blogs if at all. For men, obviously. This is similar to the line of banning female commenters. As a man you should rarely read womens’ blogs, if at all. If you do read any, you should almost never comment. What I see tend to see is that men who need to grow in masculinity read womens’ blogs is that they get very complacent with their own growth. In additi ..read more

Higher partner count for women leads to more cheating too

It’s a duh moment, but at least we have some data on it now. For the statistics in regard to sexual partners and divorce see Review of vetting, virgins and new info on virginity pledges There’s a review of GSS Norc’s General Social Survey here. Odds ratio is fairly clear cut in this case. A virgin woman (1 partner is the husband) vs one with 2-4 partners is 6x more likely to cheat. 5-10 partners compared to 1 is 9.5x more likely to cheat. Then 14x and 16x more likely cheat with 11-20 and > 20 partners respectively. The clear caveats with surveys being that women tend to lie more abou ..read more

Delusions of blue and purple and removing the haze

Want to quick comment on Jacks’ post on blue and purple structures. What is the Purple System? First of all, the classic definition of the Purple Pill is trying to apply Red Pill insights and praxeology to solve Blue Pill problems. It is still a Blue hierarchy, but one in which the man is Red Pill informed and usually very confused. In some cases, the Purple Pill is a transition stage, AKA Purple Haze, in which a man wakes up to Red Pill reality, but is still living in a Blue Pill structure / system. It takes some time to realize that Blue Pill problems can never be solved without completely ..read more

Dating and Relationships: Assessing a woman’s ability to be Helpers or Harmers
Christianity and masculinity | Christian Men's Blog
by Deep Strength

I’ve been mulling this over for a while now since we discussing college and how for some women it can be helpful to build up the structure for her to be more of a helper whereas sexually promiscuous behavior and other similar behaviors become harmful to a relationship. It has become apparent that one of the best probable ways to evaluate women in terms of how well they fit into your life if you are dating or in a relationship is if they are a helper or harmer. Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Proverbs 31:10 A wife ..read more

Attraction and glorification
Christianity and masculinity | Christian Men's Blog
by Deep Strength

Jack has a post on the Attraction of Glorification that mentioned me, so figured I’d post my general response as it’s long enough for a post. The Red Pill lore has given us an obscenely vivid understanding of the biological, carnal, and evo-psyche aspects of attraction, but we do not yet have a conceptual framework for the moral, metaphysical, and spiritual components of how attraction works. As it currently stands, the Red Pill lore about attraction hasn’t really established a compelling argument that attraction is anything other than the flesh. This post continues to investigate whether the ..read more
