    Women nag just to check if you are weak enough to put up with it. It's an unconscious vetting process. If you allow it, then she'll despise you, treat you as a cash cow and cheat on you with somebody that won't put up with her s***. This is how life works and for good reason. Be strong and both your lives will improve.

    It's funny to see the comment about a woman 'perceiving' a man as working less hard than she is because in my experience many ladies often overestimate how much work they've actually done and how hard the work was. Taking a longer time to do a task isn't working harder, in fact it's likely the opposite. It reminds me of the 'Everybody Hates Chris' episode where the dad stays at home and does the chores for a bit whilst between jobs.
    The fact is though that men often need a little nagging just to notice a 'problem' because men are far more easily contented than women. They generally can happily live in worse conditions, with less stuff, less socialisation and less entertainment. A hard days work will only make them less bothered by their surroundings. Of course this isn't great for children.

    It is rather strange that the nagging discussed here rotates so heavily around chores and household activities. The most common form I have seen is just a spiral of criticism that jumps indiscriminately from topic to topic across virtually any avenue of life home or not. Not even tied to some division of labour, but simply as an extended expression of mood that attaches itself to virtually any action or event, feature or characteristic encountered.
    I don’t really understand this hierarchy of recreational activity either that is supposed to just be self evident, countless men watch their wives watch reality shows everyday and doomscroll for hours on social media or read some romance novel with the exact same plot for the 1000th time. The value assignments seem pretty arbitrary.
    If every possible recreation or escapism you do is deeply meaningful and enriching then none of it is, there is no room for life in that. It’s just striving everywhere with no moderation until you inevitably burn down.

    There's no real difference between playing Silent Hill and reading a crime novel in his study yet us women will judge a man for one but not the other.
    Men will let a woman be. Take a long bath while listening to Enya, read trash magazines, shopping for hours. A woman refuses to just let a man be. He has to spend leisure time essentially working, improving himself or their situation. Or being aesthetic so he appears interesting.
    A wife is like a school teaching making you read instead of enjoying the beach.
    There is no amount of money, success or helping at home that will earn him the right to play video games without her silently judging him.

      @@PothePerson Indeed. But that's not the reality. Maybe you're coming from a good place, but in my experience, telling people only a part of how things should be, without addressing the surrounding issues can create a lot of misconstruction.
      You're focusing on this one issue of men's hobbies, and you're certainly correct on a large portion of it, but we live in a world right now where all these men that seem very whiny have been hit over the head repeatedly with their own masculinity. With being told they CAN'T ask anything of their women.
      My ex-girlfriend for instance had a near instant lash out response to me asking her to wear anything in any way, (for reference my tag line was "I think you would look really great in dresses.") And she was not your typical feminist. She was a VERY modest woman, raised Catholic. Very Conservative.
      It's the equivalent of telling all these men that if they never go out and flirt with a girl, they'll never get a proper wife. To a degree, you're right, but without better addressing the issues surrounding that (men having their lives ruined because of accusations, lacking in social power to combat the more or less dangerous ramifications) you come off as mean-spirited, self serving, and nearly opposite to what I think you're actually trying to do which is help our society back to a place where the divorce rates aren't absurdly high and the culture isn't broken.

      @@のむ-san Women are correct. Being a slob is weakness, therefore it is unattractive. They are biologically engineered through evolution to be attracted to strong, talented men. Once we understand this, it reveals some unflattering truths about ourselves that we would rather not think about, because it requires us to be uncomfortable.
      Men like to make do, it's a coping strategy, and in moderation it makes them resilient through tough times. But it can easily become a vice of comfort and complacency, the latter of which is the greatest kiss of death you can give to your relationship with your wife.
      You can do just about anything to your woman other than bore her. She needs to see someone who is invested in the future, and in her.
      And you see, you can't even accuse women of being Machiavellian on this point, it's purely her biochemistry and evolutionary pressures that have created this situation. It is hard uncaring reality. And there is nothing that men can do to change women (not without some weird eugenics program over hundreds of years, and even then, what benefit would it breed, a more dysgenic one?), so they need to instead recognise their sin, their vice, and step up.
      Men can have fun. Men deserve time off to decompress. But too much slobbishness, without due attentiveness and the visible shouldering of one's burdens for her to admire, will result in a building toxicity that is outside of her control, and it's your own fault for not recognising and managing it.
      Women do have empathy. They recognise the weakness inherent in others. They do not sympathise with it when it comes to their partner, because they expect their partner to be better than that, to be worthy of her, and to be the strong and capable provider/protector.

    This need to have your partner "be impressive" just solidifies for men that unconditional love is not in the cards for us. There will be a time when the wheels fall off life, and our capacity to "be impressive" will reach zero. On top of that, the goalpost for "be impressive" is always moving. Women who require other people to be busy around them - they won't be there for you when the chips are down.
    "38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
    41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed-or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”"

    My lass is a 4.01, I am very lucky. Though the concept you've hit on indirectly is Grace. It's a fundamental aspect of beauty in both sexes though traditionally wahmen were prized and even bred for it. Difficult to believe we are in the Grace Period according to Christianity, doesn't feel so. Basically the Old Testament gave a bunch of rules, but that didn't work out too well. The New Testament pointed out that you also had to assume that everyone else was at least trying to follow the rules. Innocent until proven guilty comes from this concept. The concept of interpersonal Grace. Bear in mind I have talked to Theology PhDs who either don't know and understand this, or due to their male feminist ideology choose not to understand it.
    So if a wahmen is nagging she's effectively saying 'You aren't doing enough'. But she doesn't know how hard you work, how mentally tiring it is or what you are dealing with. I've been in relationship where I've done almost nothing but employed work, one where I did everything bar none and several which are somewhere in between or I've been the house husband. The relationships which last, whether friendships or romantic, require grace.
    Being around someone who is graceless, feminists fine tune this to an art form, is a death sentence long term. Nothing you ever do is good enough and they are oh so morally superior, the master race, by dint of having a veejay. They are almost trained to be graceless, particularly by some university courses. Think about critical theory, what is it in and of itself; merely the most graceless possible interpretation of anything. No argument or point is valid as it's always racist, sexist or homophobic. Fuelled by hate and therefore completely invalid, according to the mind reader who uses CT.
    Take virtue signalling.. It's a way of displaying group membership in return for grace. Like a rictus smile, I fear you so I am no threat to you. We will be graceful to each other, assume the best motives, and graceless to outsiders. Tribalism.
    The specific example you give of a wahmen doing housework whilst a bloke plays video games shouldn't in itself be a problem in an adult relationship if in moderation. If the bills are paid, the chores are done and the kids happy then why shouldn't one of two partners relax? Trouble is there seems to be remarkably few adults in the room these days, narcissistic or graceless behaviours are lionised by both sexes.
    In a traditional nuclear family the dude is told that he's working full time and his missus is freeloading in some way and plotting to divorce him, take the kids, house and money to shack up with the poolboy.. The wahmen is told that she's been oppressed by having to stay home and look after the children while the lazy bum is shagging his secretary. Both are utterly graceless points of view.
    Men and wahmen are different. We do not understand one another, no matter how much people claim otherwise. Wahmen speak a lot more than we do and sadly a lot of what is said is either spite or thinly disguised spite. Dudes might not say as much but we all think it. Feminism has pretty much burnt down Western Culture and civilisation through being as combatively graceless as possible. Red pill is busily pissing on the smoking embers. Which, by the way, is great fun to do.
    If proper wahmen called out graceless behaviour in feminists and dudes called out graceless behaviour in male feminists, with proper shaming, mockery and possibly the odd stake.... All would be well. We're only just starting to get to the point where wahmen are speaking up though.

What if he's planned to watch some sports all week? He did all his work ahead of time to allow for that? Where's the communication on her part for his foresight? It's not that you're not making points that have to be considered, fair or not, because this is the way it is. When I was a kid, my mother said we as a family do all the work until the work is done.

    This is actually infuriating and I've had this argument so many times with exes. White collar workers (like yourself) do not understand hard work. Physical jobs make you tired. Tiredness comes home with you. It isn't that men don't want more from life, we do, but we have to make a trade off between having money for a family which makes you vegetable, or having no money, no family and time for recreation. This means rest becomes important. Sitting still and zoning out is literally essential when you've been lifting hundreds of concrete blocks all day with a 30 minute break, and have to do it another four days following.
    Women don't understand this sacrifice at all. The sacrifice that at age 40 you're going to get arthritis but she wants to go to the theatre on Wednesday at 8pm.
    Remember that most men don't get better educations than women anymore - they're in competition with women for money and consequently, leisure time. The middle class is shrinking, and most men have to be content with finding a niche using their physical bodies. It takes so much effort to make more than the minimum wage nowadays without a degree, and even intelligent women like you will still rag us for more.

So like how is it okay to NOT do it just because you have a manual labor job? Manual labor, white collar work, whichever, the things still need done.

    @chrishudson9525 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    The state of marriage in general is very artificial and a somewhat modern construct, that doesn't reflect the natural bonding and child rearing dynamic of our ancestors. For example, do we know that throughout human history, a single male and female inhabited the same exclusive living space, as opposed to living and working in separate areas, as groups? Because if they didn't share the same living spaces, nagging largely couldn't occur because in the past the sexes would have far less time to even see one another, and thus they would maximize for quality time when they do get a chance to be around one another. And also, everyone would be applying social pressure to ensure that everyone else is conforming to certain standards, and thus nagging would be coming top down from the elders, and not necessarily from the mother of the children. Due to the modern privacy culture, the modern woman may feel that she needs to play the part that an entire group would have fulfilled in the past, because there's no one else in a position to apply social pressure to either the man or woman.
    Also, did women of the past even have leverage to tell a man what to do? I mean, if the man has already reproduced with the woman, he's already achieved what he wanted, which was to acquire sex. She is now beholden to him, because she wants to extract resources from his labor, and also get his protection, and it's up to him whether or not, or to what level he's willing to provide the provision and protection. So I guess what I'm saying is that the man would have dictated virtually everything. The woman wouldn't have had leverage, and thus, if she felt that she needed to nag him, she would have done so when only absolutely necessary. Women these days have far far more leverage in relationships, because they have so many mechanisms to circumvent the need for a man. The government and family court system are basically the man, because they can provide financial support, or extract financial support from the man by force.

    It helps a lot to aliviate the stress of this situation if you're fortunate enough to have a spacious house which provides you with your own space away from your partner. These days, a room for the man of the house is called a man cave, but used to be a study. Either way, it's just a space where the man can put his own music, computer games and so on, and can go to get his relaxation without his wife having to see it.
    This only works however if you allow each other to have their own space and not intrude on it. But could you imagine in this day and age, actually telling your wife not to come in your study whilst you're using it? Even if you are fortunate enough to have a large enough property to afford a space of your own, your partner would still come in if she wants attention, and so the problem just gets moved to another room.

    I am not entirely convinced. It certainly does have some truth to it, women seek mates that they will perceive as being in their rang or higher. I remember Gad Saad suggesting that this change in perception is probably main driver of divorce.
    But I am not sure it is the whole story. If you look at old movies made by people who grew up in times before TV
    conquered homes and video games were the thing, or more recent ones before internet and when video games were limited to kids ... you still see women there nagging: Why are you spending so much time with your friends /With your car/ Fishing/ Making models/ Bawling etc. One option is that women then also saw those activities as undesirable.
    I remember Carl reading some story about Robin Hood (or was it king Arthur?) in which hero has to find out what is that women really want. Some grany reveals that it is that women always want for men to look at them as if they just met, to woo them., to constantly feel special Why? It is basically way to control them.

    I think this can be answered with an understanding of masculine and feminine in a broader sense. The masculine role is expansive, outward looking. In a literal sense, this can mean finding new land, engaging and conquering an external force, and so on. The feminine is inward looking. It is the immediate, the social, concerned with the home environment, the ties between the group, and so on. For a social group to function, both need to be in harmony. In the last 100 years or so, there has been almost nowhere else to expand in to - especially in the literal sense - and therefore the masculine role has all but disappeared. If men are not engaging in the masculine role - that is, competing with external forces, both hardening themselves in the process and gaining reward for victories - then the feminine steps up and takes the dominant role. This means internal competition is instigated by the feminine, through psychological and status games. Again, this competition leads to victory and gains for the winners of this internal competition - although it is not necessarily good for the group, especially not in the long run. You can see evidence of this every Saturday night, outside a nightclub or takeaway, albeit in a very small and crude way. The obvious point to make is that no group has ever really stood the test of time once this role swap takes place.

      Freud wrote something about this as well. How a society turns towards narcissism and becomes inward looking once a level of security and stability is achieved. Wimmin instigate verbal conflict out of a desire for a decisive outcome or evidence of success. If there is no evidence of progression or success - e.g. a new car, house, holiday; all things that people value as they age and compare themselves to peers - then nagging is effectively a stress test of a man's capabilities. It's also a way of unloading pent up emotions, which less mature/developed people will do, often because their parents did the same.

    The thing that she is nagging you about isn't the real problem. Women never say what they really mean.
    Basically, she wants to live in a romance novel and feel like she is the centre of your world. The nagging is simply a sign that you aren't living up to your role in her love story. Carl (Sargon) did a good segment on the podcast of the lotus eaters about this and I think it has a lot of truth to it. It's not the whole reason, but I do think it is a major factor.

      @@PothePerson I think that you are onto something here, though, for sure. It is the perceived inequality of the distribution of chores, plus the lack of engagement with her.
      I found that my mother always complained that we men didn't help enough, but whenever we offered it invariably either wasn't a good time or she wanted to do it herself because she didn't trust us to do it to her satisfaction. It was more that she felt unappreciated and taken for granted as much as anything else.
      Being seen to make an effort to consider her and what she would like is usually the underlying thing that she wants you to address. The trouble with guys is that they kinda disassociate, they switch off their brain for a bit. Women can't switch off like that so easily, so they perceive it as laziness (which it can be, but isn't always, sometimes it's a strategy to cope with stress, as men bottle up their emotions while women have a good cry) and laziness isn't attractive, like you say.
      Surprising your woman with nice things to remind her that you care is important, given that men are not super neurotic and don't feel the need to constantly show positive reinforcement. We just assume that once something is established through reasoned discussion (i.e. "I love you"), it is considered to be true until otherwise noted. Women's brains don't work that way.
      One wise man once said: "You can do anything to your woman as long as you don't bore her." Which, while hyperbolic, does convey the essence of the psychology at play. Many women will unfortunately put up with all sorts of things, because dark triad is sexy. But by god, do something to keep her interested. Being ignored is not something that a woman can take.

    It's sad this video needed to be made. I think every grandpa and grandma (or in this day grand-grand-ma/pa) knows this but probably couldn't put into words. But if you had contacts with your grand(grand)parents, when you were growing up, and they were not boomers, but just a little (generation) older, they would be "nudging" you into this direction, either by example (help your grandpa/ma), or by "grandpa/ma talk." When I was young, I remember when I helped to stack wood for winter. I was so little. And I remember we were stacking until grandma made dinner. It was very important SHE would interrupt. (edit: not interrupt, but finish first.) I didn't understand why, little 6y old me.

      @@PothePerson >Reading is associated with intelligence and wisdom. Video games are associated with little boys and angry teenagers.
      My original assumption of the video game/male hobby question was simply that the only hobbies (that specifically aren't shared together, video games suddenly become a lot more tolerable when they're played together as you mention in the video) women will find attractive are the hobbies which increase her status or increase her access to resources. If she can't directly consume the fruits of the hobby or brag to her friends about it, it will be a waste of time from her perspective and this reply is more in line with that assumption. The video seemed to frame the hobby question as a matter of passivity/activity, or at least that was my reading of it.

    This hypothetical solution to the nagging will not fix it. There are probably just unknown incompatibilities between those people they weren't aware of when they were getting into a relationship. Many people have relationships for the wrong reasons, that is the problem. None of this advice to fix it would be needed if they were aware to begin with.
    Men have a journey to their full potential they will rarely meet but I can't imagine a womans nagging will inspire them towards that direction.

    Consider: What if you play the video games together?
    Jokes aside, you can put this issue in even simpler terms when you view it from a spiritual perspective. Masculinity is about initiative. Taking the first step. Doing things without being prompted to do them by someone else.
    I feel like at the stage of nagging, you have already disappointed your woman with a lack of initiative. It also low key gives away your agency of deciding what you want to take initiative on, instead you are told what you should be doing. And then that may make you as resentful as she is.
    Of course in all of this, affording the other person some slack in these matters is probably a good idea. We all have days in which we can't quite keep up. I think the important thing is not letting it become a habit.

    • @ChristopherNFP
      @ChristopherNFP 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not sure i agree that "masculinity is taking the initiative" in things that are often nagged about.
      Take for example when the washing up is done after a meal.
      If one person wants it done straight away and the other person has decided to do the washing up in 90 minutes time, then isn't the solution not to nag but for the person who wants the instant gratification to do the washing up straight away and not take it out or blame the other person for being evolved beyond the need for instant gratification?
      Even worse if the person complains about lack of communication when he or she prioritises washing up over sitting with reach other and talking each and every day.

    It depends on how hard the man works at work compared to the woman. It's contextual. But certainly I can see why women perceive it that way even if the man is working a lot.
    Part of the issue is that both men and women have day jobs, which forces the woman to do more than before, and the man is just doing what is traditional for him without realising how much more he needs to step up.

    Absolutely right. Women should expect their partner to pull their weight. It's pretty simple: you are a team and all team members should pull equally or there will be problems. And pulling equally doesn't mean doing the same things: in fact the whole damn point there are two sexes is evolution exploiting the benefits of specialisation millennia before Adam Smith.
