Women's latest wealth extraction scam just dropped: They're repurposing lavender marriage to obtain the benefits of marriage without incurring any of the obligations. (archive.is)

The article he posted has nothing to do with women doing anything, and yet he makes the title about that. Then he starts complaining that "betas" get scammed out of their alleged wealth while women bang "alphas on the side".

So if you're that angry about everything, which clearly seems to be motivating this, why not go to the gym and become an "alpha" yourself?

There is something just viscerally appalling about people who feel sorry for themselves when their lot is in their own hands.

You keep saying I'm mad, but I can't find anything in my comment that justifies that assertion. It's just something you pulled out of your ass to justify your feminist shilling. Pointing out a scam doesn't mean you're the victim of it.

Well, let me explain.

Now women are repurposing the idea so they can scam betas out of their wealth without the inconvenience of having to hide the alpha they're fucking on the side or offering what little duty sex is usually on the table in the typical betabux setup.

If you were reading this, on which side of this alleged divide would you think the individual who wrote it is?

This isn't about feminism. This is about you acting like a feminist.

I'm trying to read the text you quoted with a critical eye. It's admittedly wordy, but editing for conciseness is a pain in the ass on mobile. Other than that all I see is a comparison to the usual AF/BB scam

This is about you acting like a feminist.

No u!

I have to be the last guy to criticize others for being wordy. It just sounds... angry, at least to me. Like you're shaking your fist at the world, and based on something quite ridiculous at that.

No u!

Yes, you have the same professional victim mentality and make everything about your gender.

I would think that they are familiar with 2010s red pill terminology and are aware of the realities of the sexual marketplace. What has you clutching your pearls so hard over it?

Wait, you're defending it by calling it TRP terminology?

Agreed, wholeheartedly.

Not sure that was what was going on here though. You may have jumped the gun. Then again, maybe not...who knows. Just seemed a weird outburst, which is probably why you got downvoted.

The article he posted has nothing to do with women...

The article: " For Gen Zers tired of dating..."

One could reasonably argue that a bunch of the current issues that cause people to be "tired of dating" rest with modern women. We can argue about who caused that, and if men share some responsibility (they do)...but to act like there being women involved is an unreasonable conclusion to draw is a bit much.

I don't know OP. Perhaps he is a woman-hating, Imp-adjacent person, for all I know. But it's far from a reach to blame women for the current dating environment. Again, we can argue over specifics...but women play a part for sure.

..."betas" get scammed out of their alleged wealth while women bang "alphas on the side".

I mean, to be fair...many such cases. I agree, there's no point obsessing, or being defeatist, but it certainly does happen.

So if you're that angry about everything, which clearly seems to be motivating this, why not go to the gym and become an "alpha" yourself?

OP may go to the gym many times a week, who knows? Also, "alpha" is a mindset. Yeah, exercise/testosterone helps, and people should be healthy and active, but you don't just become alpha. It takes a lot more than just going to the gym. And alpha isn't just a buff dude.

Hey now, stop being so reasonable. I have felt better since I started working out last year. I think my low red meat intake is what's holding me back.

Eh, I don't mind. Basically anything that's said that doesn't fit people's preconceived notions gets downvoted.

One could reasonably argue that a bunch of the current issues that cause people to be "tired of dating" rest with modern women.

Let's say that it is, though if you read about the kind of stuff women put up with, I'm not at all persuaded that it's all their fault.

That would still make this title inaccurate, because it's saying that it's a "women's wealth extraction scam", when it's not about women, it's not extracting wealth, nor is it a scam. It's just people living together for lower bills. Shocker, I know.

Perhaps he is a woman-hating, Imp-adjacent person

I thought of mentioning Imp, but considering the events of late, I thought it was in poor taste.

I mean, to be fair...many such cases. I agree, there's no point obsessing, or being defeatist, but it certainly does happen.

Not just that it does happen, it is a recognized evolutionary strategy. My problem is with these people who start crying that it is universal.

OP may go to the gym many times a week, who knows? Also, "alpha" is a mindset. Yeah, exercise/testosterone helps, and people should be healthy and active, but you don't just become alpha. It takes a lot more than just going to the gym. And alpha isn't just a buff dude.

As you say, you don't just "become" it. But I disagree that it's just a mindset. You gotta have something to show for it. If you're a balding, fat, unemployed guy who is very awkward, your "mindset" doesn't make you "alpha".

Imagine being so fucking gay that you take women at their word.

Imagine being so fucking gay that you look around a little bit and see how low the standards of the average woman are.

Signing a marriage contract is more than just living together for lower bills. I would have never posted this if it was just about getting roommates. The point is that the guy is getting all the downsides of marriage without the little upside he would normally get, and the woman still gets her claws in his assets.

But some of the people, in fact the very first who is cited, are themselves guys. Like the guy I quoted in the first post. And besides, they know what they are getting into. I don't see how this is a 'scam', let alone a wealth extraction one, let alone by 'women'.
