WHO IS MARK MINTER?

[Juan4574]

There is a commentator named Mark Minter who is dropping marriage bombs all over the manosphere.

The first comment of him in the hall of fame comes through Donlak:

This is the most ridiculous logic I have ever heard. Calling someone who advises against getting married because of the risk a fagot is bragging nonsense. You have a one in 1,000,000 chance of dying when you leave home. You have a 1 in 2 chance of divorce. 1 in 2. My opinion and observation of the data is that your odds are higher if you marry someone attractive. Higher still if you were a player. So go to the roulette wheel and bet 40% of all your future earnings on red or black. The same thing. It depends on your definition of Game. Some say that Game is proactive and allows you to get the best out of life. I think it's kind of reactive. I say it's defensive. The game allows you to avoid Oneitis and make sensible and rational decisions, so as not to be dragged, cheated or manipulated into marriage.

Have you been married for 17 years? I've got. I know how it is. I know the boredom you will experience. I know what it's like to be chained to a career that isn't your choice because of the financial pressures placed on you. I'm an expert on Russian history of the mid-19th century because my fucking wife went to bed early for 10 years. Ask me how much Russian history of the mid-19th century have I read since the divorce? None. I spent this weekend watching all the college games on TV.

Chances are you will probably end up getting a divorce. You don't know how to be married. You think so and you think Game could help prevent divorce. Fuck off. The only way you're going to stay married is if she doesn't have a better alternative for you. And if you don't have balls. If you're a good handyman, if you stand up and hold her coat and let her run the movie, she might let you continue to be her slave. All this talk about Game saving you from divorce is fairly recent and, to me, highly suspicious of what I know about being married. My opinion is that if you are a lion, you will get a divorce. If you are a mouse, then you might be divorced. You have to follow the line of what women think is the "good father" and you will have to subordinate yourself to the woman's definition of the "greater good." Both my brother-in-law and I were faced with a situation where we had both screened our wives based on the fact that they would work. "Of course. Of course. We love to work. We are modern women." Then, when the kids came, both wives quit or were fired. They both faced some tough situations at work and they both sat down. "My baby needs me." "Fuck that. He was no longer working and used the convenient justification. Both my brother-in-law and I freaked out. Both women felt absolutely justified. "People change. When I said I would work, I didn't know the reality of how much I would like to be with my son." You can say the same thing about a lot of things, where you live, how much money is acceptable, how big a house is. Also, my wife was supposed to inherit about 7 million dollars from her father and then the father remarried, out of the blue, right before he died, and the new wife took a big chunk of that money when the will. My ex-wife thought, hey, a few million isn't enough for two people to live on, so it's in her best interest to get rid of this guy before her father dies.

Well, marriage could work for you. It probably won't and you'll be very screwed. It happens to 1 in 2 men. 1 in fucking 2.

This might be my first time reading this blog and I don't know, but I'll certainly filter out anything you might write after this. This is pure hypermacho. "True alphas aren't afraid to get married." Okay, get a revolver, but with 3 bullets, turn the breech around and put it to your head. The same, friend. 1 on 2 man.

The essence of modern divorce law is that it exchanges the classic trade of surplus labor for sex. Once anyone can get the benefit of any deal without providing her part, she can bet her ass that he'll use the situation to her advantage. Dalrock wrote last week that the modern church preaches that it is a woman's duty to refuse sex in order to force her husband to act "right" as she defines "right." Justice never enters it. "He's not going to go to Home Depot with me because I want to change all the light switches in the house because I don't like them and he wants to watch stupid football instead." That's justification enough for her to withhold sex. Or “I'm too tired. I have my job and the kids.” or hundreds of reasons that the hamster will use to justify it and you can not do anything to prevent it from happening. So when she has left you without food for 6 months and then you watch porn after hours and hours of being alone, then "Uh-huh, it looks like porn and I'm justified in divorcing him." The law gives the woman an undue advantage legally and you expect her to listen to her better angels and not take advantage.

It is not a lack of courage. it is prudence. Examine the rewards and consider the risk as well as the potential loss. And just because you've read four blogs that say play with your wife and she won't leave you isn't enough to make me forget that millions of men are thrown out on the street every year. You can read all you want about forex trading and think that you are just crap at trading the JPY-EUR pair and then lose your ass. Prudence or prudence, however you want to look at it, will let you know a bad risk when you see it. Value has nothing to do with judgment.

You're kidding yourself if you think you can eliminate risk by looking at age, education, parental history, and a host of other factors. The only safe way is not to get married. And it's not a coward's way out. You'll be happier in the end when you're 55, 60, 70. I've only been 57 for two years. The lack of stress, of not having a dog, of not abusing, of not arguing, no Home Depot, no female stupidity is tremendous. My dad never remarried after my mom died. They fought for years throughout the marriage and she slept alone in another room for about 5 years before she died. No one was more Alpha than him. He would party a little bit and she was always on his ass about it. Once she accused him of having a girlfriend and he said, "Evelyn, you may not have cured me of drinking, but you sure did cure me of women." And she meant it. After she died, he didn't even have a girlfriend.

We all think "God, he must be alone". Damn, he wasn't. He had plenty of money to do whatever he wanted and he did exactly that. He really didn't know how happy he was that he didn't have 5 boys up his ass wanting something from him and a bitch on his back all the time. Until I did.

He had been a kind of role model for me. Surely I wanted to wait to get married, so as not to have many children, because even as a child I could tell that he was getting the shit. He should have paid even more attention and never married me.

Sure, when you're in your 30s and 40s, people will think there's something fucked up about you because everyone thinks old school, if you were worth shit then a woman would want you or you'd be a "man".

You have to leave all that shitty thinking behind. Whether we like it or not, this is a new era in humanity. Marriage is and will continue to be the first victim of postmodernism.

Did you know. I'm going in the exact opposite direction from you. You're a fag if you get married. You are a coward who is falling into conditioning, who needs social validation of it, who is afraid of being alone when you are old, who needs to follow what you are told to do and be a man and get together. your responsibilities, that you're afraid to stick your nose in there and keep fighting to get what you want from women and the world and you want a bitch to tell you what to do, that you're a fucking coward that you need a woman to that you can lay your head on her chest and look for your mother as if you were a baby (Coco Chanel's word on men, not mine).

He left another on Rational Male:

I was reading the Red Pill Blog (It's a very good blog if you've never read it. I highly recommend their article on The Female Social Matrix. It's very long. Here's a link: http://theredpillroom.blogspot.com/2012 /05/female-social-matrix-introduction.html). The writer is another guy who has been married for 21 years. One of his articles says you can't be alpha part of the time. His wife says, "Foreplay starts in the morning when your feet hit the ground after you wake up." He starts this list of things you must do:

That means being the leader every day.

That means being decisive in your leadership every day.

That means asking for their opinions before making a decision about something important, every day.

That means ensuring the health, safety and well-being of your family every day.

That means home maintenance every day.

That means exercising in some way, every day.

That means doing at least three good DHV Alpha moves every day.

That means intriguing their sense of curiosity or wonder every day.

That means making her come to you, not the other way around, every day.

And this is just a snippet of his list and I started thinking after reading about a third of the way through, "Fuck it." It's a load of shit to go through just to be with a woman. You just can't "be" with one. There's always going to be this tension that you're going to go through one way or another. Either you're the perfect little beta with an alpha side that's the best handyman or now you have to go through this artificial alpha shit that Ian Ironwood lists above.

It's a lot of shit to go through just to get a normal pussy. That's not even regular and he gets very tired. It's so much better to fuck a new pussy than your tired old wife and watch all the shit you have to go through to get that.

And none of it is guaranteed to work and most of it is just guesswork. A few married men that a "her-i-cane" hasn't "made landfall" in their life and their marriage are like people who live in Orlando telling people in South Alabama what is the best way to avoid a hurricane. Just because a major hurricane hasn't hit Orlando doesn't mean it never will.

I'm 57 years old. I'm divorced. I live without a woman. I was sad and angry for about four years after the divorce. But now, not a damn day goes by that I'm not truly grateful that I don't have that woman in my life. I don't mean a little thank you. I mean I'm fucking dizzy from it. Being happy is fucking easy. All you have to do to be happy is not be unhappy. I can't really tell you how to be happy, but I can tell you how to be unhappy. Have a wife of 55 years. That is how.

There are 3 women in their forties or fifties who live next to each other, right next to me. I look at them and am so glad I don't have one of these beasts in my bed. My mother died long before my father and never left with another woman. It was no devotion to her. He hated her. He was sick of her. She harangued him and mistreated him for 40 years or more. And he was alpha as a motherfucker and he had all those good beta qualities of regularity and dependability that a woman could want in a man. He was a 6'3″, 220 pound Sergeant Major in the Army who was the meanest looking son of a bitch you would see every week. He had a commanding voice that would freeze children in their tracks. He would meet his young soldiers at the base when I was a teenager and when they found out who I was they would say, "Your father is a fucking asshole." I would reply, “You're telling me something I don't know. I'm his fucking son. Try it for a while. But no matter how alpha you are or how good of an alpha/beta mix you are, there will still be something that will put a burr in that woman's saddle. He was a good man and a good husband and yet they ended up sleeping in different rooms.

All this ink and writing about how to be an alpha with some beta in you or a beta with some alpha in you is a fucking waste of time. There is no solution for this. Women and men are too far apart and there is no reconciliation. They have rationalized, solipsistic, false or generalized opinions. They have the vantage point of having a pussy that they want more than they want your dick, and they have the law, religion, and the media on their side. The highest rate of divorce is found among interracial marriages of white women and black men. And you know those relationships are the best example of women wanting to marry alpha dick and that is the only reason the woman married the man.

Get in the head, men are from Mars; Women are FUCKING IDIOTS.

Never get married. Duh. plate theory. Duh. Play. Duh. Pump 'em up, dump 'em up, next. Duh. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN. !!!!

You have no idea how young you'll feel when you're 57 and how old those women will be when they're 57. You won't feel a shitty bit older or different when you're 57. Your penis will work, your body will work. You will still be sexually viable. And that the woman will be a broken shit with a dead vagina and a body that would disgust you to see her naked, much less fuck her. My ex-wife would be 50 at this point and I have no idea how she could make me fuck her knowing what she looks like she probably has no clothes on right now. Women say that old men are perverted for wanting to fuck young girls. Damn, I'd think it's a perversion to fuck old ladies. It's natural as a motherfucker to want to fuck young women. Duh.

You can't win in this game. Get a damn PS3. Get DirectTV. Get lots of friends. Go fishing. Get some sort of game either an alpha game or a beta game so they think you will be their sucker supplier and then run away after getting the tweak.

Whatever, just never get married. I'm starting to get bored with this topic, how to be a better husband by being more alpha.

It will not work.

You can't look at a 40-year-old woman today and say today's 30-year-old woman will be like this when she's 40. You can't even look at a 30-year-old woman today and say today's 20-year-old woman will be like her. . You have no idea what any of them will be like when they grow up. The only reason women stayed with men in the past was because they had to and now they don't and won't. Maybe if you're in the top 10% of income and her wife doesn't work, then she could stay with you.

There was a piece in The Atlantic a few days ago called "The Weaker Sex." She described 3 women as something the writer called the DWP club, divorced professional women. She profiled 4 women, three were already divorced and loving her. They had bloody weekends off from the kids. The ex-husbands came and took the children. So they had female nirvana, money, independence, no one trying to screw them over, and someone else to raise the kids on the weekends. The fourth had a house husband, whom she abused, and the writer made him look like an idiot and hinted that this woman was on her way to a divorce. They all made six-figure incomes. Women will only stay with you if they have to and they don't have to anymore. Get it into your head. They get as fed up with your cock as you do with the boring pussy tired of it.

Pump 'em up, dump 'em up, next.

If you do this, if you never get married, and they invent time machines in the next 30 years, your 57-year-old self will come back and thank you for doing it. If you don't listen to me, then your 57 will come back and say, "Listen to me, you little asshole, when you meet a blonde woman named Suzanne from Long Island, New York, RUN!"

He's been getting flak for being bitter...

I think he said some great information about the red pill, but it sounds very bitter.

Women can be wonderful creatures as well as nightmares, I had such a good time with them, also not considering sex and romance, I can't agree with all the things that Mark Minter says.

Let's not forget this, because enjoying women is part of being a player and should be part of everyone's life.

Bitter or not, I like your comments because you've been through the trenches.

He speaks from experience and so I think we should at least consider his warnings against marriage.
