Scott Adams (Dilbert) on the problems of marriage

Monday, November 7, 2022 3:24 AM
I had posted before about how he had a hot young wife but turns out the marriage didn't last too long. Now he's posted a rant on twitter about marriage. "Prior to marriage, people are in enticement mode. That works out well. After marriage, women automatically change their relationship strategy to pain infliction." [view link]

    @yahtzee74 I will play along and comment on your discussion. Scott Adams is a funny cartoonist that became wealthy thanks to his Dilbert cartoon, he is just like many American men that grew up believing in the American family cell, married couples and children. The family structure considered, in the USA and western cultures, as the cultural ideal a long time has been an is a disaster for many. Remember All activities, sexual or not, in our capitalist society have a cost in money, time and effort, an marriage is not the exception. With respect to relationship with women; I would refer you to Demosthenes (384 – 12 October 322 BC) Greek statesman and orator of ancient Athens. 1. We have courtesans for the sake of pleasure. 2. Concubines for the daily health of our bodies, and 3. Wives to bear us lawful offspring and be the faithful guardians of our homes In this list is the Greek view of woman in the classic age. And in all ages and times. All men want that, but only some can afford it... In today’s world Demosthenes would say: 1. We have high end escorts, centerfolds, actresses, models, Strippers (ITC OTC) etc that provide PSE/GFE for the sake of pleasure. 2. Mistresses/Sugar Babies/; etc, for the daily health of our bodies. 3. Trophy Girlfriends/Wives to bear us lawful offspring, and be the faithful guardians of our homes. 4. Realistic Sex Dolls/Gynoids/Fembot, and Internet Porn and Instagram/Onlyfans “Models”, for kicks-and-giggles” Remember “In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.” ~ Cuban refugee Tony Montana (Al Pacino) in the movie Scarface.

    Rich guy's (second) marriage to a hot young trophy wife turns out to be not a good marriage. So, he declares that it's institution of marriage that's broken, and not his decision making. I do think that the idea of marriage needs an update, but I don't think a business cartoonist who let his little head say "I do." will be the source of any sea change to the institution.
