For a long time, TRP advocates have been split into two camps.

On the one hand, you have the guys who say that marriage is a mistake and that, in this day and age, with family courts being so heavily biased in favor of the woman, the risks far out-weigh the potential benefits. Plus, no one wants to be relegated to a dead bedroom and receive half-hearted missionary sex every couple of months to a wife whose resent grows with each passing month. Who wants to be a beta bucks?

On the other hand, you have the guys who say that marriage is worth it if you can play the game on "hard mode." Rollo seems to be one of these guys, although you have to wonder if the married men in this category are simply rationalizing a mistake from which they can no longer easily escape.

So what's the deal? As a 28 year old male, I for one have come to the conclusion that I don't want to continue riding the pussy carousel forever. Spinning plates is good, I'm not so sure I want to do it for the rest of my life. Call me a hopeless romantic, but in spite of taking the red pill and knowing that, in fact, AWALT, the thought of a healthy and stable life-long monogamous relationship still appeals to me.

I've seen the effects of a healthy marriage. Although my grandparents are from a different generation, I saw the things that made their relationship work--and in my opinion, it was the adoption of a traditional set of marital values.

It seems to me that, under the right set of circumstances, marriage can still work, but it's going to require a few provisions:

1) An 18-21 year old virgin with a sweet feminine and pleasant disposition. Hard to find but not impossible. The idea isn't to find a unicorn that's "different" from other girls, the idea is to find one that hasn't been corrupted by years of riding the cock carousel, and one who has a long shelf life of fuck-able years ahead of her.

2) The establishment of financial dependence. Many woman are looking for a financial provider, and under the right circumstances I am willing to do it. I do not want her to have a job, I do not want her to be independent, I want her to completely depend on me for all her financial needs.

3) An air-tight prenuptial agreement. Emphasis on the word "air-tight" here, because family courts frequently over-turn these things. It's absolutely critical that, at any time, I can kick her out of my house and she will receive absolutely nothing. No money. No car. Nothing. Clearly lawyers will need to be involve in the drafting of this document, because I have a feeling it's the sort of situation where if even one tiny part of the agreement is off, you can get fucked over royally.

4) A clearly established set of house rules. In exchange for me providing her a comfortable lifestyle and no obligation to work, she will be expected to cook, clean, and take care of the household. She will be put on an allowance and have no control over the household finances whatsoever. Since it's my house, it's my rules, and she'll have to formally agree to this.

There are many women out there who yearn for this kind of traditional relationship and dependence. What's important is that she not have the fall-back option of an easy divorce settlement to skew the power. It's important that she realizes that, if she misbehaves (cheating and/or not fulfilling my sexual needs), or if she initiates divorce proceedings, she will be left with nothing at all.

Yes, AWALT, but all women were ALWAYS like that. The reason marriage was able to succeed right up until the relatively recent past, right up until my grandparents' generation, was because this sort of arrangement was the norm: women got hitched up early at the peak of their youth, beauty and fertility and there was an implicit understanding that they had to fulfill their end of the bargain if they didn't want to wind up on the street.

Think of it as an economical exchange. In exchange for exclusive sexual access, maintaining my home and raising my children, I will provide her with a life time worth of financial and physical security, a proper fucking, and my tongue in her ass. The constant threat of divorce and being traded for a younger, prettier woman will not only incentivize her to behave, it will also help to facilitate the precious tingles that so many married women completely lack. Plus, the re-establishment of the male as the head of the household and the dominant partner in the relationship will help keep things psychologically stable.

My only worry is that it might be impossible to get a pre-nup that really IS air-tight, but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?
