No, I handle my own business already pretty well. I want a fuckbuddy to manage my social life (organize the parties, the gatherings, the vacations, the clubs, etc.) and also be a suitable mother of my future children (forgot to include that part).


"Fuckbuddies" grow old. At a certain point, I've found that I've grown tired of a "friends with benefits" scenario either because whatever passion is there dwindles, or because someone develops feeling for the other. Never ends well. Never.

Interesting. So essentially a partner who will manage your social life and bear your kids. It was mentioned earlier but yeah that's a pretty "practical" way to look at it. It sounds like it has the potential to become a loveless relationship too if one of her main purposes to you is just managing your social life.


I am okay with that. I don't intend to marry for love, but for children and social stability.

However, having this partner be someone I get along with and am intimate with would make this easier and decrease our likelihood of divorce.


Divorces happen because both partners grow apart, they forgot to keep working on their relationship.
Taking eachother for granted, spending too much time on work, friends, not communicating their appreciation,
Forgetting to tell their own wishes or forgetting to listen to the wishes of the other. If you are not heard in your relationship, you can get very lonely and depressed.

If you don't want a divorce, keep "courting " your partner.

Why wouldn't they want you?

If you don't like yourself, maybe you want to work on that before you "hookup" with someone else.
It is very difficult to feel loved/ wanted when you don't like yourself. It can really undermine the relationship.

Whats the Keshiland approach?

Keshi was a user who mostly hung out around abortion threads screaming at people about how anyone who supports it supports killing babies. (And wanted abortion clinics/hospitals to play loops of babies crying and children begging "Please don't kill me" in the waiting rooms)

Well, anyway, at a certain point he kinda turned the main abortion thread into his relationship advice thread, and he unapologetically believed that the best relationship was one where the husband does everything and the wife is a powerless broodmare trapped in a loveless marriage who only exits to raise the beloved children he would have with them, and that if she ever got uppity about being in a loveless marriage where her opinion or beliefs weren't respected, then he'd divorce her on the spot and make it so he legally gets everything she owns (She wouldn't even get to sleep in a cardboard box on the side of the road)and she'd never get to see the children ever again.

Basically, him saying he would only marry to have a live in secretary and kids is worryingly similar.

Chinitas (ethnic Han Chinese-Filipinos who trace their roots to the Chinese who arrived before the Spanish colonization of the Philippines) are based af.

That said, it's more of just because they're generally more well-mannered and feminine than other races (not all, but generally in my perception).

Ouch. That is an rather nasty approach indeed. And not very romantic at all, in fact the opposite thereof.

I mean, it's not exactly that I'm dehumanizing other races, it's just a personal preference and nor am I saying they're all precisely like that.

Well, the thing about Keshi is that he didn't care about romance, all he cared about was having biological children who would have a mother to support them, because he really loved kids to a seemingly unhealthy degree. (Like he wanted abortion clinics/hospitals to play loops of babies crying and kids begging "Please don't kill me" or "Why mommy, why are you doing this?" in their waiting rooms)

But this isn't the Keshiland thread, so eh, only reason I brought it up was because Bear's desires are interestingly similar.

Yes it is, you're claiming that Asian chicks are inherently more well mannered (Read: Submissive) and feminine then non-Asian women are. And then you also post that Western Asian women are a turn off.

If that ain't race fetishization then I'm then I'm the Queen of England.

When I felt the power, that was when I felt most alive.

I of course, can't go for a whale, but a lady that isn't in too bad of shape and is otherwise not in any position to make demands from being too old almost, I want to exploit that so bad. Most women unfortunately, have options on how to get pregnant. But there are a few that're imcompetent just enough, to still need a man.

What is where I'd come in. I want to string her along and I'll say- "sure, I could try my hand at getting you pregnant. But in exchange for helping to get what you want- you've gotta try getting me what I want." Its brilliant, if I can figure out how to ensure that I can't be gone after for anything like child support.

Why don’t you uhhhh go post this on Match or something, instead of on an online political forum. Shoot, this sounds more like a post from the sketchy side of Craigslist than anything. Either way, nobody on NS exists to affirm or to enable your burning desire to get a poor, foreign, middle-aged baby-momma.

No no, the parents had to be married.

Part of that parenting ideal was that the children grew up in a traditional nuclear family.

Which is also sort of an romantic ideal in itself.

I find the idea of elective coparenting (with or without marriage) to be interesting though.

It can work if you genuinely love the person. And what proof do you have that people with an affinity to a type of race less likely to get a gf of that particular race?

What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
