See this is why the right lost control of culture.
Dismissing something as a 'distracrion, a pointless hobby not allowing you to face reality' is why the left infected the industry so easily.
And NOW they expect to just come in like the original gamergate and be our 'enlightened saviours against leftist indoctrination'
Fuck off, you're both relics that should be discarded in to the past.
They've been spoiled rotten by a culture that refuses to let them endure the slightest inconvenience. That's why they throw shit fits whenever they don't get their way about the tiniest of things. It's also a major part of why they treat men with the slightest imperfections in any area as subhuman. They don't think they should have to make the trade-offs in dating that a mere mortal does.
Every Lifetime Romantic movie has the guy giving up what he loves for his new girlfriend, and then it ends.
True, you don't need to even be the type of submissive eyecandy shit that the manosphere types call a 'true woman'
You want to know a keeper type of woman? Your past scenario, you come home after a long day, she's there before you and just says 'hi honey long day?' as a short welcome, quick acknowledgement and then leaves you to work out stress by gaming a bit, she does her own thing maybe even gaming too or even joining you and then after you meet up in bed and just sleep.
That is just ALL we need, none of this 'the world revolves around me' shit, we acknowledge each other, let ourselves time to de-stress through our hobbies but come back to bed together always, the bare minimum and both sides but especially the left miss the point on this.
So... Your ideal wife is a coworker you happen to fuck every now and then, and share tax filings with?
I mean, works for me, just seems a minority opinion.
For that scenario in particular, depending on lifestyle you might want a woman who can contribute equally like if you're more living independently or if you're working from home have something more important.
The important thing is to have respect for time and or the other person's hobbies. If you demand their time when it is limited due to providing or dismiss their hobbies as 'childish', you aren't approaching the relationship from anything more than you want a devotee than a partner.
Honestly this not true, there are "acceptable" hobbies. Building things or fishing, sports, working out or hunting (in some circles) are things that girls can brag about to their friends.
A lot depends on whether she respects him for being hawt. If she sees him as an alpha the hobbies aren't a problem. It becomes a problem if she put him in the beta provider category, because at that point the hobbies become an impediment to her extracting the maximum amount of value from him before throwing him out like yesterday's garbage.
Masculine trait, masculine, masculine, masculine and masculine. It all forms part of intrasexual competition which improves her exposure to others, boosts her respect from others and provides something for her.
But he still has to make her the centre of her world. This is why you can get complaints about fishing when it's done all day to escape from the situation at home and get some peace.
Generally speaking, once you get married women will do one of two things to your hobbies: 1. Invade them or 2. Destroy them. The goal is to have 100% ownership of your fun (which lets her charge any price she wants for it). It does not matter what those hobbies are. She does not care.
That's why you need to set the boundaries early. Say your game/bowling/fishing/poker time is MAN TIME ONLY. She is not allowed, you won't stop for her, and that is that. Never give a single inch.
There is no time spent doing things other than paying attention to her that a woman will not be jealous of. The only solution is to tell them tough shit and you don't care.
This is why I always tell my wife no when my idiot friends try to invite her to D&D night. She's my wife and I love her, but D&D is sacred and she does not belong there.
Yeah but no man starts a hobby so that his chick can brag to their female friends
As a married guy, I can confirm this to be true. In fact is so acceptable that the same saying is in multiple cultures: "Happy wife, happy life"
The right lost control of the culture because they didn't purge tradcucks who are just thinly disguised feminists. For some reason the right loves its fifth columnists, be they Lolbertarians who deliberately throw elections to their Democrat butt buddies or feminist faggots who LARP as conservatives like Walsh.
They care more about the 'morality of the process' than winning in the first place.
Just like history is written by the victor, morality is written by the superior power.
Even more-so with the specific attitude taken by right-wing pundits.
Like maybe a case could be made that too much time invested into gaming can sometimes be detrimental for a person. But instead of tackling it with a fair minded approach like that they almost always hand wave any such hobbies as being "childish" and "unworthy".
I find it especially annoying because I've been debating the pros and cons of having grown up and spent a fair bit of time gaming. Maybe too much. I dunno, but it's something where I'd rather see some legitimately honest and constructive discussion over it. Unfortunately that's something that'll almost never happen in any kind of public space, because extreme takes are all that can really be expected.
And on another note, can I say just how fucking stupid it is for right wing pundits to try and dunk on gamers right now during a major election season?
Republicans are experts at shooting themselves in the foot.
There's a huge area of normal recreation between getting sucked into addiction and dismissing everything fun.
This reminds me of the war in Babylon 5 when they realized both sides were dangerous and needed to go.
