No, People Are Still Attempting Long-Term Monogamy
I’ve noticed a new false narrative in the last year or two that I find every interesting.
It’s a combination of two different opinions:
The first one is this: “Women aren’t settling down / aren’t getting married / aren’t getting boyfriends / aren’t getting monogamous like they used to because of feminism and all this damn left-wing woke girlboss stuff! They’re all embracing college and corporate careers instead! Grrr!!!!”
The second one is this: “People have wised up about monogamy now. They’ve evolved on this issue. They now understand that you can do it, but that it isn’t forever. People have listened to enough podcasts from biologists and people like Eric Weinstein to understand that if they get monogamous with someone, it’s not going to be “forever,” but instead for a few years only, then they’ll part ways and move on to a different partner.”
Combine these two things, and the (incorrect) conclusion is that people aren’t pursuing monogamy anymore, and even when they do, they don’t assume it will last forever.
This is completely wrong.
It is factually accurate that Gen Z (i.e. people in their twenties) are having less sex than other generations; I’ve discussed that in my content a great deal. But this does not mean that people aren’t still pursuing monogamy anymore.
When we look out into the world in 2026, including the Collapsing West, we still see:
Women dating men (at least eventually; some do wait until their late 20s or early 30s but they're still eventually start doing it).
Women demanding monogamy from men when they start to like them (or even before that!).
Men (stupidly) promising monogamy to women.
Men and women getting married (especially people in their 30s and 40s).
Men and women not getting legally married but still settling down with each other, moving in with each other, and expecting monogamy from each other.
Women being absolutely shocked, shocked! when their “monogamous” husbands or boyfriends get caught cheating on them.
Men getting absolutely CRUSHED emotionally when their monogamous wives or girlfriends break up or divorce them.
Men and women breaking up or getting divorced even though they have children together.
Men and women getting monogamously married or monogamously moving in together even though one or both of them has already been divorced.
So, I’m sorry folks, but people in 2026 are still foolsihing prusuing monogmay and assuming it will last the rest of their lives when they do it.
They can listen to all of the podcasts they want and read all of the anti-monogamy books they like.
They can get as left-wing woke as fuck as they want.
So far, men and women (both!) are getting monogamous (at least eventually) and assuming that monogamy will be forever.
And when it doesn’t work, they lose their shit because their assumptions were all wrong even though many of them logically understood at some point before that it was never going to work in the first place.
Are fewer people getting legally married? Yes, of course.
Are fewer young people having sex? Yes, of course.
Are fewer people in the Collapsing West having children? Yes, of course.
This is all standard stuff for collapsing civilizations. But none of it, and I mean none of it, contradicts the fact that the vast majority of women and men still eventually seek out and attempt monogamous relationships and at least emotionally assume those relationships will be “forever” and are shocked, infuriated, or depressed when they don’t last.
And as I’ve been telling red pill guys for almost 20 years now about marriage, just because someone waits until their 30s to attempt something doesn’t mean they never attempt it.
I was hoping that by now, people at large in Western society would start embracing non-monogamous models en masse, and it’s true that many more people have and are.
Yet sadly, despite all of the data right in people’s faces about long-term monogamy not working, most people are still going to try this and still get fucked by it.
It’s going to make the Collapse of the West all the more painful.


This article accurately describes what happened to me. Was cheating on my ex-wife then she divorced my ass. I talk about the rebuild and raising my daughter on my substack.
