50/50?

[SlayherParticipant 2074]

A few months ago a younger coworker stated to me that he was in the perfect relationship with the perfect woman. I asked him how he knew he was in his perfect situation. He stated that everything was 50/50 between the two of them. They did everything together. Made all decisions together, etc. I could tell he was delusional but, nevertheless, attempted to impart some MGTOW wisdom upon him.

I explained to him that relationships are supposed to be 50/50. However, today’s women get to decide what that 50/50 means. When she reaches a point where she is no longer happy you will be toast and it will be all your fault. 50/50 to her means taking half of your stuff when the opportunity presents itself. He puffed out his chest and confidently predicted that that would never happen to him.

Last evening he came to me with his head down and explained that his perfect woman had cheated on him and moved out while he was at work. He was also missing a lot of his personal possessions. I didn’t tell him ‘I told you so’ or beat him down. I directed him to MGTOW.

Hopefully he has learned his lesson.

50/50? There’s no such thing.

I dunno about 50%/50%, the one thing I do know is modern women pushed me to 100%/O%+ a f~~~-you for good measure!

Ouch….well, men trust and women betray and everyone knows who pays.

The young lad may want research paternity testing: it may not be over for him.

Funny you should mention that. I’m waiting for him to get that call/text. I get the distinct impression that she’s so full of s~~~ she should be a septic tank. Anyway, if she play’s that card, I’ll direct him to buy a pregnancy test and drop it off at her work while she’s at lunch.

I’m just evil like that.

Haha, I got a coworker exactly like this. He moved in with his gf like a month after they met. She works part time and is still a student, and he’s making really good money, so although he won’t admit it, its obvious he is basically supporting her already. She’s got him hook, line and sinker and he thinks he’s a stud because he’s getting some tail. I’ve joked with him before about never getting married and all that stuff…but he’s clearly as blue pill as they come. Just like your coworker, he’ll end up having that day where he comes in with his head down because his utility ran out and she monkey branched to the next thing.

I feel kind of bad thinking so negatively about relations~~~s like that, but at the same time I’ve seen the routine play out so many times with so many different people its sad and funny at the same time how many guys out there still think things with their special snowflake will be different. Personally I’m just an average guy…I’m not going to base my life off of the slim chance I’ll be the exception to the rule or find a woman that deviates from today’s norms.

She takes 50% and her lawyer take the other 50% of everything you own.

Then the courts want their 50%

F~~~ 50 50 . That’s just a trick to keep you close to 51 49 then 60 40 then your a broken pussys whipped loooser.100 0. Your the zero. I don’t even feel bad for these guys any more. If there “perfect ” snowflake doesn’t want him to be your friend any more he’ll turn on you. When they show up here,great. Until then I don’t even want to know them dudes any more. Blue pillers..keep your distance.

50 / 50 doesn’t work.
I thought I had that. .
Split all the bills and costs for everything. .
Then she grabbed the kid and lawyer..
There went the 50/50..down the f~~~ing toilet.

It might start out that way but anyone who watches any sort of race knows that it’s not how the race starts but rather how the race finishes that matters.

Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

The more this happens, the larger MGTOW membership grows.

No offence guys but 50/50 worked for me because I was careful about it. I once moved in with a girlfriend mainly out of economic necessity (NYC rents) and while we split the rent, utilities and household expenses we maintained all our own personal finances separately. When it ended I lost nothing but had saved a ton on rent and other expenses.
The lesson is be smart and make sure you really keep it 50/50 and don’t get suckered into marriage. Stay a free agent.

Sounds like you did everything right except you made the fatal mistake of getting married.

It will gradually slide from 50-50 to 60-40 and then 70-30 and so on. Until she has you doing everything, and then when she decides for some arbitrary reason that she’s no longer happy, or maybe just bored, she will take half your s~~~ and run. That’s the biggest problem. No matter how great you think she is, she’s only one bad day and one heated argument away from destroying your life. No sane man should put them self in that position.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

[Oz-BlokeParticipant 3233]

Ah, going Dutch. Great in theory, but it never really pans out. Even if you do manage to split the bills down the middle, as a man you will ‘pay’ for it in other ways.

It will only slid to 60-40 or 70-30 if your a big enough blue pill sucker to let it happen, in which case I have no sympathy.
I never had any trouble keeping things 50-50 in any relationship from start to finish. You have to show some backbone.

100% of all financial power and final decision making power on all matters of consequence is mine, period. She can handle 100% of decorating, clothes washing, vacuuming, bathroom detail, cooking, dishwashing, dusting and knob polishing.

Divide by two and you get 50/50.

Hey C-Pig, the secret is to keep the chain short enough so they can’t get out the front door!

[FrankOneParticipant 1417]

Are there any reliable statistics of what percent each cohabitating or married couple pay of rent/mortgage/utilities/etc?

In my antecdotal experience, it’s usually the man that pays more.

[ConstantineParticipant 4419]

Sorry about your friend. He must feel like such a dupe.

That silly song “Independent Women” by Destiny’s Child? It has the audacity to feature the lyric, “Always 50/50 in relationships.”

Oh yeah, I can picture Beyoncé offering to split the bill as we speak.

[KaidoParticipant 2395]

At first it’s 50/50. Then after a while it becomes 60/40. Then when you are married 100/0. Women are a lost cause.

What people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle. Rise above. Focus on science.
