      Not in no fault states. They don’t care if there is adultery. Anyone can get a divorce for any reason.

        Getting a divorce is one thing. Losing your stuff in the divorce because you cheated is another. Granted, this may vary greatly based on location.

        Interesting. Wikipedia says:

        Hypergamy (colloquially referred to as “dating up” or “marrying up”) is a term used in social science for the act or practice of a person dating or marrying a spouse of higher social status than themselves.

        The antonym “hypogamy” refers to the inverse: marrying a person of lower social class or status (colloquially “marrying down”). Both terms were invented in the Indian subcontinent in the 19th century while translating classical Hindu law books, which used the Sanskrit terms anuloma and pratiloma, respectively, for the two concepts.

      I’ve heard it said that marriage was invented by men as a sort of peace agreement to guarantee one woman per man so that no men were totally shut out of sex. In earlier times, when wealthy or powerful men hoarded the women, this led to serious problems from those men on the losing end of the society (rape, terrorism, even war).

      So yeah, in essence, this douche is trying to level the playing field between his sorry ass and more successful men.

      Sometimes I think there’s cause and effect at work (in either direction) but really they’re the same picture.

      That’s why he wants Chad out of the dating pool! It’s not about any sort of morality, he just doesn’t think it’s fair that Chad has 10 girls, and he can’t find one (willing to take over where his mother left off.)

        4chan has done so much damage to these poor men.

        You can play HOI4 and date, it’s really not that hard, you just have to be a respectful person

          That last part is what trips so many incels. They can’t see women as equals. They see them as parts that operate upon a special sequence of words and actions that they don’t want to figure out because they are horny.

          The number of women I talk with who have been harassed within the first message of a dating app is almost 100%.

          I’m an average looking guy. I don’t consider myself funny. I genuinely enjoy getting to know people. I do pretty okay out there.

            Reminds me of the same logic that Sovereign Citizens use. If you use the correct magic words with flowers and dinner, then you unlock access to the girlfriend.

    “I can’t get laid, so I want to make it as inconvenient as possible for everyone else. Also, my wife left me for a man who doesn’t treat her like a bangmaid, so I want to make ‘adultary’ a major offense.”
