    As a man i have tried that two year friendship way a few times, both times the girl keeps me hanging around while they search for something better. When the better man or the man she thinks is better shows up I’m not interesting anymore and some story about feelings and so on. In both cases the girl ended up in bad relationship and wanted me after all but I have dignity and want to be able to look at myself in the mirror without shame so there is no chance I will be some second price. My advice would be to maybe try that long friendship maybe in your 20s but if you are 30+ there is no point in being a simp or beta orbiter to some flaky girl who just keeps you around as a backup solution.

    He can be friends for as long as he wants, but the woman should court other people until he makes up his mind.

    What do I think? That sounds like decadence to me.

    I agree, but this is the female mating strategy rather than the male strategy, so don’t expect it to ever be the most prevalent societal norm.

    The long time friend approach is good for teenagers and first love, but after that I don’t think it is a strategy at all.
    Better for the guy to learn some positive masculinity and even PUA techniques to boost his confidence and help him to know how to make a relationship succeed. I’m not saying he has to be promiscuous, but just to learn the Art of Seduction (a great book, even though it is written by a jew).
    Learning these things will enable the man to pick his future bride and also keep her happy.

    Unfortunately in current day and age with technology, everything comes easy and fast. People have become dopamine addicts to instant gratification and not the long term goals.
    With social media, people find it easier to merely start a new rather than water the grass they are standing on.

    Remember “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times”
    This applies to our current situation.

    Most relationships don’t usually last past the 6 months to 2 year point which is called the honey moon phase. This is the physical attraction and new phase usually where the initial bonding occurs.
    The problem most people make is not looking beyond the attraction and what long term goals you two would share to develop further.
    *You can’t have two people with completely different long term life goals that will conflict. There are exceptions but not the norm.

    But yes, being friends at first and slowly progressing into a relationship, getting to know your partner gives opportunity to see if you are compatible while sharing similar life goals. Also live with them, it will quickly tell you more about them when they are not at their best. 😉
    *Taking it slow allows you to gauge the relationship while not sacrificing unnecessarily and taking risks.
    *MGTOW is a reaction to the new age feminism, neither win in the end sadly. Instead of going your own way, create an environment/opportunity where woman can meet in the middle.

    Sometimes you want to be friends for a long time to test them under all of life’s challenges, but then sometimes it is too much and they leave.

    Oh yes I see that’s right. That’s very sad that there are women like this, who take advantage.
    The MGTOWs is a really sad thing as well, I really understand them though, but still I think that people should never give up on anything, even if it’s more simple to say than doing it.

    @Nina I think in this environment it’s necessary because of the antifa problem. I would say that the two year friendship should be preceded by a discussion and agreement that it is a phase of courtship.

    I say this because under modern feminist hypergamy a common occurrence is women who are only romantically interested in a small handful of men, but are glad to take advantage of guys who are “orbiters” otherwise known as guys who have been “friend-zoned”. A lot of these orbiter guys end up becoming MGTOWs eventually.

    I think if there is that up front agreement of a two year kind of light courtship period that could be really good. That way later the girl cannot feign surprise when the guy wants to take things further and initially if the girl is honest and admits she has no interest then the guy will not waste time.

    So, with those details I think it’s a great idea.

    I believe that the best way to start dating is to be first of all friends, and friend for a long time, maybe about something like two years, it depends. What do you think ?
