This is why I don't buy all that "long term" vs "short term" dating strategy nonsense. The ideal scenario for women is to get the "short term" guy to hang around long term anyway. The so called "long term" dating strategy guy is the place holder

And that's where these holes be cheating. There's actually a great Netflix show that demonstrates this entire phenomenon correctly, in my opinion. When you have the chance, go and watch this show, this is a great show. But don't just watch it for the story, read between the lines. Because it's a beautiful demonstration of how women are with the provider type versus the protective type. And by the way, it also helps me to explain something that I've been trying to tell people for years about how women choose in their dualistic nature. Or if they even have a dualistic nature for that matter, let me explain. You see, if you're like me and you're super into evolutionary psychology, then the concept of the provider type versus the protective type is something you're equally fascinated with. And in general, it's said that women start out in life valuing the protector type. And then as they get older and mature, whatever that means, they begin to see more value in the provider type. Or bad boys have all the fun, and nice guys finish last. Or alpha fucks made a box, or she grows out of her bad boy face whenever the fuck y'all are saying these days. But if you've observed female nature on a long enough time frame, you'll begin to observe something very interesting. The so called bad boy isn't the phase. The nice guy is. Remember that show on Netflix, I was telling you about perfectly demonstrates this to a T. So this chick, the central point of the show, used to be with this dude over here, the bad boy archetype, the relationship with toxic, chaotic, rocky, all that stuff. So he leaves her and then she gets with him later, our nice guy of the show. And I really want to put an emphasis on nice. He's stable, has an amazing career, has two kids with her, intelligent, well spoken, all that jazz. Except eight years into his marriage with this chick, this guy shows back up into the picture. And he's the exact opposite of nice guy over here, obviously. And it's at that point where I begin to ask very interesting questions. Like for one, if the bond between this chick and her husband were really that close and that's strong, how the fuck did this guy from eight years in the past come back to ruin it? Because quite honestly, the entirety of this show is just her trying to choose between him and him. That's it. And I'm like, sis, you have a husband and two kids. This guy should have never been a factor in the first place. So how the fuck is he? I'll tell you how. There are two main types of guys, the protector and the provider, but in reality, those are the two extremes. Because in every woman's mind, there's also two other kinds of guys, the guys in the middle. There are providers, but there are protectors. There are providers who protect and there are protectors who provide. Every woman swears what they want is the provider who has the capacity to protect. But if you really observe their actions closely, you'll come to find out what they actually want is the protector with the willingness to provide the warrior and the garden, so to speak. By the way, this guy's handsome and this show demonstrates that perfectly. This is the guy she really wants. This guy over here is the placeholder. And spoiler alert, that's what the ending of the show reflects. She doesn't leave her husband, but she runs to his house on barefoot, I believe, to go get some dick. And again, I just said, go get some dick in lighthearted just. But taking into account the seriousness of that biological event. What she's actually doing is giving this guy access to her replication value. And by the way, a lot more than she ever gave this guy. And that's her husband, that's the guy that's far more physically, psychologically, financially and otherwise invested in her. Do with that information what you will.
