Do you think it's wrong to have a girlfriend and a mistress on the side ?

You work in finance. Probably in high finance (ie. IB/HF/PE, fuck off if you are in VC or S&T). You are very prestigious. You are from a superior breed and sit on the top of the mating market. Thus, you are either married or soon to be married.

Having a wife is nice, but she will get old and lose value on the mating market. The situation is quite different for men : women tend to prefer dating older men, thus the older men get, the larger the female mating pool becomes. Furthermore, females are also attracted by men with high earnings, thus further increasing high finance men's value on the market as time goes by.

Despite all that, you don't want to divorce your wife once she gets old and unattractive (like over 35 yo). Even if she's not in her prime anymore and you can now shag any >8/10 girl in her 20s you want, divorce is bad. First, it's very expensive, and you don't want to waste money on such trivial paperwork, especially if it enriches lower class lawyers. Second, it's unprestigious. Third, it will f*** up your family, and you don't want your kids to be f***ed up. So you stay with your wife.

However, you still want to capitalize on the very high value you have on the mating market. So you decide to get a girlfriend and a mistress on the side, both 15 years younger than your wife.

Your girlfriend is smart, fun and hot. You do a lot of things together (week-ends, trips, restaurants, etc.). Your mistress is just hot and your only see her occasionally for sex (like 2 or 3 times a day).

Your girlfriend knows about your wife but doesn't know about you having a mistress. Your mistress knows about both your wife and your girlfriend. You have made sure that your wife will never know about your girlfriend's and mistress' existences.

Once your girlfriend and your mistress have become too old (>30 yo, hey they ain't your wife and your value on the mating market has kept increasing so you can have even higher standards), you dump them and get new ones. Your wife still don't know about it.

 

I'm convinced the "men gain value as they grow older" is just hardos coping with the fact that they missed out on young love.  Women prefer guys a little older than them but not by a huge amount.  Show me one 40 year old banker who gets more pussy than a dumbass freshman at ASU.  Especially a married banker who has a shitload of baggage and can't really spend a lot of money.

No, it's a well established fact that young females prefer older men.

https://doi.org/10.1017/S0140525X00067595 : "The finding that women are attracted to men older than themselves whereas men are attracted to relatively younger women has been explained by social psychologists in terms of economic exchange rooted in traditional sex-role norms. An alternative evolutionary model suggests that males and females follow different reproductive strategies, and predicts a more complex relationship between gender and age preferences. In particular, males' preferences for relatively younger females should be minimal during early mating years, but should become more pronounced as the male gets older. Young females are expected to prefer somewhat older males during their early years and to change less as they age."

'Somewhat' means around 2 years, at least in the US and most developed countries.

Based thread. The strategy is good but how do you make sure that the wife doesn't know about the other women? Having to use burner phones and shit is annoying. However, any wife that would let you have a mistress is not wife material.

 

with your degenerate, low class and immoral attitude, you don't deserve to experience the beauty of true love and i doubt you ever will. i hope no woman is stupid enough to marry you but enjoy being hated by your children :)

 

Lol @ "true love". Girls always claim they're looking for a "nice guy" but if you examine who they look to lock down it's always people like OP. 

I'm not saying he isn't a jerk, but at the end of the day girls gravitate towards money and guys gravitate toward looks irregardless of the character of the person.

i agree but op sounds like an incel who wasn't very lucky in the looks department and doesn't know how to communicate with women hence his immoral post.

fyi i wouldn't have paid attention to my bf if he wasn't physically attractive, tall, dark hair, handsome, perfect sharp features etc but you're right in the sense that my bf has a top tier finance job and that gives me security. again i wouldn't have bothered if he wasn't hot to begin with but thats just me!
