So my cousin (late 20's F) got engaged today.

Looking around at relative's reactions, my male cousins, uncles, etc, seem genuinely happy for her, but not to the point of "relief" or "elation", meanwhile aunts and female cousins are acting like the Lions just won the NFC championship-that level of stoked.

My cousin has had a lot of health issues (leaving her sterile) and got into college more out of pity than academic achievement, transferred twice then dropped out, spent a year "finding herself", and spent the last couple years working minimum wage jobs, living with her parents, driving their car, not having any expenses...

I love my cousin (familial love) but to be frank she isn't particularly bright, attractive, funny, talented, driven, etc; etc; etc. Her boyfriend is kind of weird but he seems genuine. They're planning on getting married in the winter and then she can finally move out of the house.

So she has no education beyond a high school diploma and has basically been doing jack shit for free for the last 10+ years, and now her parents get to pass the baton onto this beta weirdo who seems elated that he's getting any female attention at all.

Looking at it from the lens of a MGTOW, it's the worst possible deal, and yet my family is frigging pumped. Meanwhile I maxed out my IRA last year and I'm closing on a boat next week.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Stealth Edit: NFC not AFC please forgive me Caldwell
