"lifelong marriages" are a universal social arrangement that transcends tens of thousands of years, races, cultures, etc. the current 'paradigm' is artificial, and the moment social relations implode as a consequence of gender relations breakdown and the social capital crash caused by diversity; one of the inevitable results is that we return to the universal baseline, which is marriage. that isn't in doubt or question. the real question is: who is going to get what? i am 30, i tried the whole dating thing in my early adult life until i was 26, and everyone i came across was garbage who didn't meet the historical bare minimum criteria. i didn't do the whole hookups/sleeping around thing, and in the end only had 1 sexual partner. what do i get when all this shit ends in ~10 years? some 40 year old roastie with genital warts, brain damage from legal drug use (ssri, birth control, etc.), who has had dozens of cocks in her? not a chance, death is better. i made up my mind, that i would get a worthwhile teenage virgin or i would participate in burning everything to the ground. that is the "paradigm shift" you need to be apprehensive of. i get a strong inkling that i am not alone in what i said, either.
