The Rational Ram

This is the third installment of the Cheating Series. Let me know in the comments if these posts are helpful to you, whether you’ve experienced the pain of infidelity or not. The intent of this series is to provide perspective and insight to my readers, especially those who need it., Cheating rarely happens out of […]

Revenge and justice are often confused because both involve holding someone accountable for wrongdoing. But they are fundamentally different in purpose, intention, and outcome. While justice aims to restore balance and uphold fairness, revenge seeks personal satisfaction—often fueled by anger, pain, or ego. Understanding the difference can mean the difference between healing and perpetuating harm. […]

It’s a question that sparks debate, suspicion, and sometimes resentment: Do beautiful women cheat more? Or are they simply given more chances to do so? Before jumping to conclusions, it’s important to look past stereotypes and emotions—and dive into what psychology, data, and human behavior tell us about this controversial topic. 1. Beauty Doesn’t Make Someone […]

When a woman explains her infidelity by saying, “I needed to feel alive again,” it’s often dismissed as a flimsy excuse or a selfish justification. But this phrase—used by countless women who’ve stepped outside committed relationships—reveals a deeper emotional truth than many realize. It’s not about villainizing or excusing betrayal.

Preface: As a proud stepfather (“bonus dad”) to two lovely stepdaughters (now grown), nothing “chaps my hide” more than the notion that being a stepfather make you a “weak beta male.” Yes, I take this blanket insult personally. In the echo chambers of the manosphere—those hyper-masculine corners of the internet where “alpha male” ideology dominates—few […]

We live in a time where everything is being rebranded—commitment is “old-fashioned,” loyalty is “limiting,” and emotional boundaries are “insecure.” In that mix, cuckolding (and its lesser-known counterpart, cuckqueaning) has crept from the edges of porn culture into the conversations of everyday couples. It’s framed as sexy, edgy, or “evolved.” Some call it a kink. […]

I wrote about the unrealistic expectations that some women subscribe to in dating and relationships, but none are more unrealistic and ridiculous than the set of mythical expectations I articulate in this post. In dating conversations—especially online—there’s a common trope about what women allegedly want in a man: the “six sixes.” It’s said that the […]

Preface: I have written posts on this topic in the past. While my position on this subject is largely unchanged, it has undergone a nuanced evolution. An evolution I hope to adequately convey with this post. The term “sexual market value” (SMV) has become popular in online dating discussions and the manosphere, often used to […]

This is the second post in the series Cheating often feels thrilling and harmless in the moment—like something you can control, keep secret, or walk away from unscathed. But reality always hits harder than expected. People who cheat usually realize the truth far too late, after the damage is done. Here are 10 harsh truths […]

Preface: I have addressed the subject of female hypergamy on this blog, notably in my series of posts that critique the so-called manosphere. However, in the time that has passed since I posted that series, my perspectives on the subject have shifted a bit. While I think female hypergamy is a very real and natural […]
