Which is more expensive: being single and tricking or having a live in girlfriend?

[the_male_feminist]

Now my last thread was about how any man asking a woman to split the bills 50/50 is not a relationship that is a roomate. So the man should be paying her bills a man is supposed to provide duh. So with that being said there are some finacial factors to consider when asking which costs more.

What are the Average Costs of Being in a Relationship?
February is a month to celebrate love and relationships. While many couples commit to spending time with their significant other, they also are committing to spending money. In fact, 7 in 10 (69 percent) of Americans say they spend more money while in a relationship versus when they are single according to a survey in partnership with the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) and the love and relationship website YourTango.com. This is true for men at 71 percent compared to women at 58 percent. Are you a romantic spender?

What Marital Sex Statistics Can Reveal
Who's Doing It and How Often?

While it's not usually a good idea to compare your sex life to what sex statistics say about others, it can be interesting to see how often other couples have sex. Many people believe they're having less sex than their peers (according to a goop.com reader survey), but scientific study results might prove them wrong.

Other stats can offer insight on married couples' sexual satisfaction and even relationship satisfaction and how it's related to sex.

How Often Do Married Couples Have Sex?
Americans in their 20s (whether partnered or not) have sex about 80 times a year, or more than once per week, says a 2017 study. While that number declines with age, it turns out that there is such a thing as too much sex.

While the frequency of sex is associated with happiness, partnered couples who have sex more than once a week are no happier than those having sex weekly. That's according to an analysis of three research studies of over 30,000 people.

Having sex once a week might be the ideal, according to science. But the real ideal is what works for you and your partner. If you're happy, then you're having the right amount of sex for you. If you're not, you can work on the problem through better communication, more experimentation in the bedroom, and/or couples or sex therapy.
More research looking at this frequency-happiness connection noted that pushing frequency past once a week might "lead to a decline in wanting for, and enjoyment of, sex." In other words, quality counts as much as quantity.

What's more, one study published in 2017 linked husbands' "positive behaviors" toward their wives with the frequency of sex. So if guys want more in bed, they need to be generous and giving outside of the bedroom.

How Much Sex Is Enough in a Marriage or Relationship?

Married Sex and Satisfaction
A survey conducted by Durex (the condom maker) in 2013 looked at some of the ways sex can promote connection and satisfaction in couples. Some results:

• 96% of respondents said being emotionally connected results in the best sex.
• 92% are turned on by their partner showing vulnerability.
• 90% believe it is possible for sex to get better after years of being together.
• 61% of women and 80% of men say "the sex is pretty good." (Another 2013 survey, from iVillage, got the same result.)

Satisfaction and interpersonal warmth matter more in a marriage than the frequency of intercourse, according to sex researchers. And there is a strong connection among sex, well-being, affection, and positive affect (or mood), according to research published in 2017.

Mutual respect is also important; when partners feel respected, they also report being sexually satisfied. In terms of how their sex life could be improved, people say they're looking for more love and romance; more quality time alone with their partner; more fun; and less stress.

Benefits of Sex

Married Sex and Communication
Couples also say they could have better communication with their partner. One study, published in 2019, tied better sexual communication with greater sexual satisfaction—and even fewer faked orgasms. "Women who continued to fake orgasms were more likely to indicate embarrassment talking about sex with their partner in explicit ways," the study's authors said.

"More than half of women reported they had wanted to communicate with a partner regarding sex but decided not to; the most common reasons were not wanting to hurt a partner’s feelings, not feeling comfortable going into detail, and embarrassment," the study continued.

Without reading all that basically avg person in their 20's has sex 80 times a year or roughly 1.57 times a week.

Now lets say a guy tricks 80 times a year and spends $80.00 everytime he has sex and he exclusively tricks. Well he spends $6,400.00 a year on pussy.

Now on to the guy that has a girlfriend. And this varys. Some couples cohabiting together split bills 80/20 some 60/40 some 50/50. Some do not cohabitate yet the man pays for her rent or half her rent.....different people have different situations.

With what you save in toilet paper and other sundries, you'd be better off tricking.

Think of everything as a biz. Your in a better business with one person. The returns on your investment are greater. Trickin is a gamble for a nut

Being a single trick is the most expensive option. I don't see the point of a single mf trickin, when you can holla at as many broads as you can handle, and nobody can't say shit to you. I'd understand it a little bit more if the dude is married. You basically paying the broad to be ok with you being married.

Some single guys are not visually attractive to the opposite sex, have zero personality, lack social skills, and have no confidence therefore tricking is a must... There is a percentage of dudes that fall into this demographic and is proof why prostitution/tricking is a necessary evil... If you do not fall into this demographic consider yourself lucky

 

[CoTtOnMoUf]

Do yall split bills 50/50

tbo... she gives me more than

half of the bills... every month!

...she insists and I don't resist.

 

[ORIGINAL NATION]

Being single and on your own. Some brothers are programmed to live off of ladies. They lose they lady then they are programmed to be in prison for retraining. It is like the thing they had in the Russian concentration camps. You get trained for one job and one job only. You make one mistake you are sent to a concentration camp. I tell you the genes of our ancestors and the genes of this present generation were programmed.
Living by yourself and having plenty of money and resources. This is what rich white males have and they be married. But we live in a white man's world. So everything the woman and children promote is what came from them.
I lived by myself and had a girlfriend. Only problem they do not believe in things about flipping money for the cause of separation. In fact they seem like they are there to make sure the money goes back into white programming and control

Stay single and build a business. Don't get caught up in the live in girlfriend trap. If you don't get married and have kids it ain't worth it.

Tricking is at a all time high because people with money understand the "relationship" ends when the orgasm is achieved. Personal relationships lead to civil lawsuits, alimony, and child support. Y'all BGOL accountants need to put those factors into your calculations.

You would think with all the child support owed on this forum and time spent on jail stories, that the so called players on here would understand that the more you have the more you have to lose.

Was cool to do numbers and fuck hoes in the 90s/00s but just understand that most women are playing the long game for something than just sex in 2019. Most of you niggas just want consistent pussy and maybe someone to share the bills with. Women are looking for financial security and are willing to plot to use the courts to get it in 2019.

bruh you aint got to say no more.. when I heard the case of the chick that lied to a dude and said the baby was his... and come to find out it wasnt..

the courts still said fuck you... pay us....

that was all it took for me to say fuck going down that ol town road and get ridden till the courts and that ho cant ride you no more..

So one bad example going to deterr you? That just how you justify not having kids.

So what you plan on doing as you get older die old and lonely? No one to pass your stuff on too.

Just be single forever chasing women......at some point being 40 in the club chasing women gets old

And why is trickin at a all time high? Huh. Cuz men are now choosing to watch porn as it is free instead of court women. These men dont have any swag or character to them.

2 types of men trick and 1 has 2 sub categories yet still the same.

The mgtow incel man hating woman club

Older married men/sugar daddies

Those the only 2 type of men that trick. I mean if no woman wants you you would have to trick

nah lots of dynamics.. I met a young jewish lawyer and he said he loves dark skin women but his parents would disown him if he bought one home..

he said as soon as he gets his license to practice in new york he dont care what they do after that and he is going to date and marry who he want to...

you meet a lot of really interestin people in the world or tricks and hoes.. and trust me... the majority of them are NOT the losers of this world.. and have options.... sure there are plenty of those sad dudes.. you call incels... but thats a whole other issue by itself...

they dont have options... those on top of the trick game DO

The drama and ignorance I have seen most dudes go thru with the avg girlfriend or BM is insane. And if you have money you can't really trust anyone you meet who knows your status.

Most women play the BM game by trying to get seeded up by the nigga they know with the most status/wealth. They rarely care about personally if they know you have wealth. That doesn't mean all broke dick and bubblegum niggas should rejoice. Because being broke and having kids is the quickest way to staying broke which could eventually lead you to jail.

The BM trap and a criminal felony are like putting two chains on each wrist. To many black men have either or both and the system is designed to manipulate you if you fall under these circumstances.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't seek normal relationships. But niggas need higher standards than looks and fuck game when it comes to choosing women. You want women who act traditional and dedecated then that's you have to glorify and project. The biggest problem is that dudes think that they are the exception to the rule when it comes to making whores a housewife.

But the reality in America is that most women have a mercenary outlook on relationships. Social media has made every woman's page a classified ad. They do the job for the highest bidder and most will stay fat and happy as long as a certain standards that they created are met.

Once you enter a "relationship" people now have all types of access to your life they make want to use for their own gain. That's why relationships where both people have something to gain if the stay together and both have something to lose last the longest. But that's very rare and people will you all the access they have to you to leverage themselves against you.

Now we cant go a week without a celebrity getting sued for shit that took place behind closed doors where a person who has had frequent contact with you can provide enough detail for a lawyer to craft a narritive.

 

[the_male_feminist]

If s woman dates a broke dude yall complain if she date a rich guy yall complain......it is a lose lose.

How many dudes complain about women dating pookie and ray ray? Now women want their own obama and it is like....oh gold digger

bruh that shit right there is what so many bruhs and sisters overlook... when gettin into a relationship...

if someone can get through her, they can get to you.. so you have to really know who you fuckin with..

and yea the crazy shit about that celebrity shit.. is you just talkin the ones we hear about..

you know how much shit we DONT hear about... how many celebs get got, an pay that extortion money..

 

[tallblacknyc]

Op show us your tits

you know how much shit we DONT hear about... how many celebs get got, an pay that extortion money..

We at least know what these celebs are paying for pussy per night. I can see why dudes are so quick to pimp. The Mac Miller court docs are crazy. Dude was tricking off $3000 a night on chicks that could have be found on Craigslist in it's prime. The drugs killed him but it wasn't what he was blowing the majority of his money on.

But for a guy like that it's better that s big lawsuit and stupid lawyer fees plus loss of business. Too many lowlife lawyers willing to craft a story with these groupies. Even hoes like Taylor Swift want to get paid by writing songs about your relationship to billions of people.

Everybody is looking for a come up damn near on every level. So it's best to stay rational and work out a plan that puts you in the outcome you desire. Its all fun when you are young but the problem with young mistakes are that they are the ones that stick with you the longest.

Young men need to be taught the consequences of fucking with evil/reckless women before they are filled with delusions of grandeur that life is going through be a 24/7 music/ porn video.

Way more men on this site blew small fortunes on cars, jewelry, and housing trying to impress women along with the child support that came with the now discarded BM then dudes making rain and buying pussy. Sheeeit For this very purpose, I call the Chrysler Challenger/Charger the babby daddy mobile.

Niggas buy the car year 1. By the end of year 1 or 2, 90% of these car owners have located or impregnated a new BM. By year 2/3 if they choose to stick around they may ride around with the newborn and BM in a sports car not intended for small families. By year 3/4 the child support starts to kick in plus the Chrysler 3 year curse of shittyness makes the car start to have major problems only to have the BD mobile sold to the next sucker or Repoed by the back by the bank and then dudes got to play hide and seek for the next 3-6 months with some huge redneck named Larry from the most racist rural part of the state.

I agree with most of what you said, but the real problem isn't the women. It's the breakup industry.

It starts with the divorce lawyers. They will do whatever they can to provoke as much animosity as possible so that they can drag things out in court and charge by the hour doing it.

Once that's done the state steps in to convince women that the man they trusted to marry and impregnate them can no longer be trusted to support his own seeds. However, they are willing to step in and be a financial go-between a level harsh punishments on any man who can't or won't comply with what they ask. Since the woman already hates and distrusts you at this point she usually goes along with it. now the state has a way of siphoning money off the top taking the food right out of your seed's mouth. they also have a mechanism that can possibly be used to fine you and throw you in jail.

This is what men are really up against.

If my son were going through a divorce I would tell him to buy a legal zoom package and encourage his ex to settle the matter with him over dinner (preferably at a public place). Forgive all of her past indiscretions. Forget about everything he don't like about her. This meeting is strictly about dividing the property and moving forward. Once he's come to an agreement notarize and file the papers ASAP.

If he can pull this off he will save a fortune in lawyer fees, missed work for court dates and a million headaches.
