When I was 17, my older brother was divorced by his wife. They had a daughter at the time under 1 years old. She cheated on him and told him she wanted a divorce. She was a full time student and had no job. My brother had no criminal records, a full time union job for 10+ years getting decent pay. He paid for everything she ever wanted and never laid a finger on her. In the divorce proceedings, she wanted full custody and the maximum pay while disclosing full well that she cheated and even said my brother was a good man. Well, she got it. I remember his divorce clearly. My brother was a broken man for years and his pain from that day still haunts me to this day. I have had many a relationships since then with good women who wanted me to marry me, but I said I would never get married because of my brothers story. Years later, more than half of those women got married, and then divorced. Strangely, just like the statistics predicted. Never ever ever ever ever get married gents. Not until they fix the system to be fair.

As a woman once told me, men can’t have kids but they can have financial obligations.

You can lose money chasing/marrying women. You never lose women if you're acquiring money.

I am 48. Never married. No kids. Had some relationships but never lived together with a woman. I really dodged bullets the last 20 years. Being red pilled before the red pill was invented. Having a nice well paid job and my own apartment. Life can be great, gentlemen. Make the right choices in life ! Greetings from Belgium.

Girlfriend: "I wanna get married!" Boyfriend: "Sounds great! Invite me to the wedding shower once you've found the sucker - I'd like to warn him."

I live in Spain and everything you say is applicable here too. Two friends of mine got divoreced and their lives are fucked. They had to leave their apartments (paid by them 100% before getting married), rent a ROOM for themselves and in addition pay a monthly pension and only see their kids once every two weeks. The entire process is so one sided it's sickening. And both of them are going through psychological help. One of them put on 30kg and the other one lost 17kg. One of the couple dated for 12 years before getting married and the other 8 years. Sexless relationships (max twice a month) after a year of moving in together. After what I've seen, taking into account I don't want to be a father, a monogamous relationship is certainly not for me. Than you Rich for your work.

my best friend's wife is a successful divorce lawyer in Toronto. His stories are exactly the same as what Richard says.

I'm 51, never married, no kids, life is great but I feel for my brothers worldwide who get taken through the divorce machine. Never saw myself as "academic smart" but "street smart" I do have in abundance. Another great post King Richard. Stay safe my brothers. Greetings from Melbourne ( Australia ) Peace !

You’re so right, the woman you divorce is not the same woman you married man I found that out big time she turned into a demon from hell lol

I always thought I was so dumb, no one wanted me, now I'm smart for not marrying. I'm canceling my therapy, thank you.

It makes sense why so many men in history have become monks and hermits.

Very accurate portrayal of the divorce process. Young men and all the betas out there listen to this guy! Wish I had the red pill many years ago!

Brother, I'm a retired Marine who did two tours in Iraq and I'm the course of my divorce, my ex-wife accused me of harming our adopted daughter. It was a wretched experience, but I made it through and I was never charged. Now I preach to men on the tangible dangers of military marriages. Keep up the great work!

I was skeptical about marriage my whole life as my mom and grandmother were awful. I came home from college one summer and was playing in a soft ball tournament and one of the guys on the team told me his story. He came home from work and found his wife screwing a guy. Long story short is they got divorces she continued living in the house, he was renting a small attic from someone and paying her $3k a month in child support and alimony on an 80k a year salary. He got to see his kids in his crappy attic once every 2 weeks because his living arrangments werent suitable to kids. I knew right then and there I would never get married or have kids.

On the still married but not happy. My in-laws were married 38 years before he passed away. It took me nearly twenty years in their family to realize that they hated each others guts (unless they were out with the kids and grandkids, didn't really speak to each other and never in the same room together at home). When he passed, his family had a double tombstone made and inscribed "Married 38 years." I've said since that it should have also said "it was a life sentence." Two pearls of wisdom from my wonderful (and totally unfiltered) mother-in-law that validate so much of what Rich says. We were chatting about her other grown daughter while her husband and my wife were getting groceries. MIL comes out with, "With birth control and being able to work nowadays, I don't know why girls get married." This was my MIL talking to me after 7 years of marriage to her daughter. Second pearl, we're watching late 1950s vintage home movies and see my in-laws on one of their first dates shooting a rifle. My daughter, "Grandma, I didn't know you ever liked guns!" Mil, "Oh, that's that dating phase when you pretend to like what he likes." Yeah, she's a real sweetheart.

I am in Australia. My best friend's ex wife went for 70% of everything (and there was alot as he is a very successful guy). In the end he got good terms on custody and he was sick of fighting so gave her about 65%. Crazy!

"All that Marriage does is invite the state into your house" Living with a woman makes her totally lose the competition factor Dropping gems @Rich Cooper I myself have known all this due to just being mindful but you are helping alot of others that need it

Disregard Women, Acquire currency Bros!

Smart men don't get married. Period.

"You cant out alpha the state." Wise words

“For a woman, you are just a possibility” Cooper

But marriage is good because the tv told me so! The TV never lies!

Being raised in a family where Dad was forced out wasn't a lot of fun. But the lessons I learned from it saved me from the extreme risk that I probably would have taken otherwise.

I got married after 2.5 years with who I thought was "the one." Ignored multiple red flags due to "love" and ended up getting cheated on. Going through the divorce right now, it wasn't easy at first but starting to see the truth of who she really was and the risks at large that I was facing really helped. I won't get married again, I got lucky getting out of it in a sense but I won't make that mistake again.

Learned this lesson 14 years too late. Learn from the mistakes of others gentlemen.

Through alot of therapy and soul searching I've become a strong stable man - I came from a toxic family, I had to sever all connections with my family in order to achieve this however. I'm never getting married or having kids and my BS radar is on point - I'd rather not have sex for years than grow feelings for someone that doesn't value and respect me.

The content you mention around the 40 minute mark, about how the state incentifies wifes to leave / punishes wifes for staying with their husbands are pure gold!

I talked to a divorce lawyer and he told me if I don't want to see him in court don't get married! 🤣

“My happiness is paramount.” - Patrice O’Neal I’m 22 started listening to The Black Phillip show at 19 and I haven’t gone back since. Found out about this channel a few days ago it’s just pure gold.

Im a woman and by watching you, rollo and rule zero I've actually learned so much about women's nature that I didn't even know, with this knowledge I'm able to improveky own personal relationships. Thank you

My ex told me she would never have filed for divorce since she only got 75 %. She was expecting 90 %. I told her she still got a better deal since she has a beautiful house and I get to sleep in my car and see my kids only 3x a month. Women turn crazy in divorce.

I lost shared custody of my kids (in court) because my work hours weren't 9 to 5. Because she agreed to keep the kids when my work hours were awkward, the court agreed to award her full custody when she asked for it.

Truckloads of value here. Thanks, Rich.

Love your content Rich! Of all the red pill group you're the most valuable and the easiest to listen to. With that being said, I'm really looking forward to your book, would you consider doing an audio book with you narrating your own book? I will absolutely buy it plus you could add some extra content etc. Anyone else agree with me hit the thumbs up! Keep it up RC!

I was dating a crazy and aggressive lady. The only thing that saved me from her was that after she started getting physical abusive, I started recording audio in private for my own protection. Then I switched to recording video the moment she started getting crazy and she would stop because there was evidence that she was the violent and aggressive abuser. Thats what saved me. I would recommend to every man that if you are having an argument, start recording for your own personal protection.

"If you want to scare the sh!t out of your 18 year old son, as he's kinda graduating High School, take him to a family court afternoon and just sit in there and watch what happens to guys. Let him see what happens to guys." - Should be mandatory. There should be a class in all this stuff that a man either has to take in high school or before getting married. Imagine how up in arms women would be if you tried to do that, though, i.e. tell young men the truth.

I called the cops on my kids mom and they dismissed it. 10 later she calls them as I'm packing my stuff for no reason. I wasn't even talking to her and 2 cops show up.

In the US, the marriage began to change in the late 60's and by the early 70's in most states the takeover was complete. My family lived in Illinois. My mother started torturing my father in the family court in 1973. By then, she had all the power. False domestic assault charges, her banging every guy in town, taking the house and half his income, defaming his reputation, etc. She had and did it all. Over and over again.

That stupid line "women change their mind all the time" from the movie The Room is actually a lot more profound than I thought

spot on that the ONLY reason to get married is to have kids w/ a primary condition that shes a GOOD BET to be a good mom and be tenacious abt making a good enduring home for those kids -- NEVER marry someone just to be live-in pals

My mistake was getting married with a woman that raised by a feminist single mother that raised by couple of fathers, What do you think happened? Right, she chose her mother way, divorced me, and take my 2 boys and daughter 90% of the time, and her mother act like she is their father. God bless this religious woman that magically discovered god a year before we got married 🤦

Rich, you're the absolute best in the RP sphere. Great content and best voice. I recommend your videos to all my nephews and some of my nieces as well!

I got taken away with no reason didn’t even raise my voice but officers said I had to go “they had no option “ my spouse even told them I hadn’t done anything. We are separated now. She can blame the state for our separation I will not put myself in that position again

When I was 18 years old I used to watch Divorce Court a lot and then in real life I saw how other men got screwed in real divorce courts, I came to the conclusion at 18 years old that I was going to be better off not getting married and I don't regret making that decision. I just have fun. No marriage, no kids, no cohabitation is the way to go in the Western world. I don't understand guys who make a lot of money getting married in the U.S. That is like voluntarily placing your head at the guillotine to be beheaded.

Re: Prenups. Study your (USA) state's laws carefully. Here, judges are only legally required to take a prenuptial contract "under advisement" during divorce proceedings. Guess how this usually works out.

She allows me to chase excellence. That unconscious thought changed my whole thought process today.

These guys like Brandon in their 20’s, they just don’t seem to get it. I think when you’re a guy in your 20’s you believe you’re at your peak looks wise. Saying to them wait 10-15 years before you consider entering into a serious LTR / marriage is an alien concept to them. You can’t at that age think that far ahead, or grasp this. I know I couldn’t. You’re living in the now, you’ve finally left the education system and you’re enjoying experiencing life as a grown adult man in it’s early stages for the very first time. You believe you can conquer the world. The reality is, you’re only just getting started. But, they don’t know this and why would they? They’ve so much to learn, not least that as a man your SMV increases slowly over a much longer period than they realise. But, until he experiences this, the penny is going to have trouble dropping. We see it time and time again on this channel.

Married for 2.5 years. Less than 6 months after marriage wife quits her "stressful" job, without notice. She worked roughly 50% of the time after that, while I'm deployed overseas. In addition to supporting her, I now have to pay her $50,000 because "community property".

Fortunately, its been finding Rich and a couple others like the Joker that have kept my head on straight since March. That's when things went South w/female and for the first time in my life I developed Anxiety. Holy crap, that stuff is really no fun, its the real deal. Took me to new lows not experienced before, but here we are in November, I've dodged a bullet, kept all the things, house, vehic, 401k that were MINE. And thanks to yoga (start new hobbies), paddle boarding (start new hobbies), white water rafting (start new hobbies), I've been able to re-enforce my FRAME and things are starting to really look up! Thanks guys for giving me online therapy, its really helped. Be safe out there men, COVID isn't the only pandemic!!

Thanks Rich for your work! I'm 52 & wish I had this knowledge 30 plus years ago!!!! Thanks for making me red pill aware!!!! Its a journey!!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!!

one of your best ones Rich and theyre ALL GOOD!! thank you!

Glad to tune in. I'm a bit under the weather right now so I needed something relaxing yet stimulating to help me feel better 🍳🍵.

Ah, I see! So this whole thing boils down to *don't make decisions with your D*

Short Answer; Smart. Long Answer; Smart Men.

It is odd that marriage is still almost universally depicted and perceived as the gateway to lifelong happiness when decades of statistics (50% divorce rate) shows this absolutely not to be the case.

"why would you want to change her from a unicorn to a hippopotamus who belongs in a swamp? " 😂😂😂😂😂 100% true but hilarious delivery. Lmao

Rich I’ve been a long time subscriber. Once I get stable in my career I’ll start donating money and buying stuff. I see why you don’t wanna give away free advice because your advice is top notch. I’m used to videos try and get back with your woman do this, how to get back with your ex, she’s not cheating on you. Your advice is reliable and ahead of it’s time. Thank you Rich for your KZfaq channel.

Every now and then I develop a soft spot for Japanese women but then Rich slaps me back to reality.

Most are Meghan trying to find their Prince Harry not Princess Jasmine looking for their Aladdin diamond in the rough.

RICHARD COOPER. Hello mate, I'm in the UK, and was thinking that a presentation on sharing finances / having a joint account / both sets of wages going into one account ( never! 😂), would be an interesting presentation.

You are 100 percent correct to chase excellence and not women. As the saying goes lease what depreciates and own what appreciates. Women don't appreciate.

After being divorced twice. I found your channel and it does interest me. My first wife was after a sperm donor with equity, she got both. My second wife was a narcissist, a gaslighter. I wish I had switched on and got informed about that. She was also committing fraud at work, so that brought our relationship rather hastily to an end when she was found out and I 'didn't' support her. You can't support what you don't know about. There are lots of theories, but I think you are very right in that women do plan divorce, for their own reasons and there is nothing you can do, to reverse it. All the reasonableness you ever had, communication, forget it. In both cases, I had tried my utmost to repair the relationship, at times when I tried to have a conversation about the relationship and be open, whats wrong etc. Guess what, in both cases, they both never uttered a squeak, when I asked them why they were quiet they would say 'I'm listening', great cop out. That there is a huge red flag...

PREACH Uncle Rich! Thanks for your hard work sir! Between the blatant misandrist family laws and no-fault divorce alone, I don't know why men bother getting married. Men are also 8 times more likely to commit suicide after a divorce. Much wiser to concentrate on unrestricted self-development in one's own career as well as attaining scire quod sciendum (Latin, "Knowledge worth having") such as spoken and programming languages, personal finance, monetary economics among many others. Keeping in shape is sine qua non too, you only have 1 body after all.

Been happily married for 18 years now. I'm in Malaysia. This part of the world the good females are still available and men still control the frame of society.

Luckily on my end I was very lucky on my divorce where it was a mutual agreement.. rare. But she didn't want to sign the papers and ran.. literally away from me. So I chased her down and physically brought her to court. It felt like a scene from the beginning of Twister... This was 3 yrs ago. Happy and single to mingle. I've met sooo many wonderful women from then and still doing my thing whilst attracting more. Thanks Dad!! aka Richard Cooper.

You just gotta listen to this guy , a moment of silence to the loosers who haven't discovered this gold mine yet.

Thanks Rich. As always

I'm going to buy your book for my 20 year old nephew.

Ho, when I was married, the last name thing was the first concession. She wouldn't take my last name and she knew that didn't make me happy. She told me that what she does is sign her name with a letter designating her middle initial as the first letter of my last name. She couldn't understand why I found that so condescending. Rich Cooper's comment on this reminded me.

I'm 59 and have so far escaped, and now so high net worth I couldn't even think of settling down with a bird. However, my single biggest rescuing deal breaker was my absolute refusal to have kids, or have anything to do with a bird if she's already got them. Kids just dont work in a guy's favour.

I am a woman and I agree on the bullshit family law. I pay child support, $1000 a month making $28,000 a year to a stepmom who has guardianship after thier father shot himself in the head. I don't get to see the 2 kids. After 18 years he walked out on me after I fathfully stood by him. Through lots of mental illness. I take responsibility for my falling apart (just had 3rd child). I found out later they had planned it all. I lost everything...the stepmom manipulated us both in the end why family court ripped us both up. 10 years later I am still single and I relate. The system is fucked. I respect men and women who are stand up people. The distortions of masculinity is very sad. I am appalled at my sex in the overkill which is distorting our society. I honor and respect men. Blessed be to all in those stuck in those situations. processes.

Great vid thx Mister Cooper!

Thank you very much for this video.

I'm dealing with this right now. Except...I called the cops. They arrest her. The next day I am told that I can't get a protective order. 3 days later, I'm served with a protective order.

Had an ex girlfriend brag about dating her divorce lawyer while he was representing her in court. Years before this when we were dating she told me her family would never approve of us getting married I was not good enough. She finally scuttled it all when I caught her messing around with a married man while we were together. Fast forward 10 years later. She's done went thru a divorce, had a fling with her lawyer, and now cheating on her current boyfriend with me. I was just having fun knowing she couldn't be trusted. When I found out about the boyfriend I dropped her like the plague! Gentleman this was 30 years ago, no wonder they have evolved into what they are today!...listen to Rich he speaks the Brutal Truth!

49:15 is brutal, that was my thought for a long time. Thanks for clarifying it dude! Greetings from Spain,

Brilliant advice as usual...Every man needs to see this ✌PEACE✌

I won the debate in College by listing all the laws that make men lose almost everything in marriage same lows can be used even if not married. Having kids out of wedlock is a time-limited extension. Women have more power than at any point in USA history. Feminist in my class dropped the course threw they're $ away demanded I go to a different professor. I told Dean if you side with them I'll sue you. The College due to breaking Norm and Challenge the establishment made go mostly online. only on campus to hang out. Been told to never have a mate. 25 years old never had Partnered. Never been kissed, hugged, or women acknowledge me as a friend. Since 3rd grade.

At my divorce my wife made 19000 and I made 80+k ... now she brings home over 60k mostly tax free... 15k government child credit... 25g child support and whatever she makes... my actual take home after tax is only 1900 after child support... which equals about 15 dollars an hour... one dollar over minimum wage in Ontario or 30k... I live in a welfare apartment while she live in a nice house... thank god I make some overtime... that’s the money that pays for my kids Christmas presents... I learned my lesson... going my own way... I will never marry or co habitats ever again...

Salt Daddy nailed it, my thoughts out loud, glad i am not the only one thinking this way.

I tried to out trump the state and had to leave the country to avoid arrest. Gone 6 years. Came back in 2009. Have a clean record now but you are right Rich. I also have a book out as of 2 weeks ago. Amazon: Coming Back Home. The true adventure of Mark Daniels. Getting great reviews. Look forward to your book release Rich!

I remember when I was around 8, I told my mum, i'll never marry. they thought I was joking. she's still asking when I'm going to get married. I don't have the desire to have kids. it's absolute zero. And I find less and less reasons to be involved with another person. And I'm in a country with a fault based divorce law. can't imagine how bad it is in woke societies

Your killing me Rich with the truth. LOL Married 4 times, Believed in the dream. Great today though. I got the last 6 kids. I had forgotten how wonderfully the state treats men in a divorce

What an amazing video rich👍👍

In an interview with Stefan Molyneau, a man named Stephen Baskerville stated that the purpose of marriage was "fatherhood". It was to secure a mans legal rights to the children. In the same interview (now deleted because youtube deleted Stefans channel), Stephen said that it was Ronald Reagan in the 1960's who introduced No fault divorce when he was Governor of California, and he later on said that it was the biggest mistake of his career.

Smart men have never married any women

Is the book going to be out before Christmas? Know a few fellas who need this...

I'm in the UK, and as far as I'm concerned, there's zero benefit to being married if you're a guy (looks like the same elsewhere). The woman's argument that if you really loved them, you'd marry them, is rightly countered with you pointing out that if they loved you, you'd simply live happily together, have a joint account for the bills, and that's it.

The Bible clearly says that a “woman’s weening (of a child) is only for a time....” After which that child is to be raised by the father.

This statement right here was worth the entire video for me... and made me rethink a costly mistake that could have happened. 1:19:59

Getting Married is something to take very seriously. I think it's not cool when you're first with someone And you Woo them making them think that's who you are when it's not. Be yourself and if it's meant to be it will.

When is the book coming out?

Mr. Cooper was being generous here. In some states of the US it is much, much worse. In Canada I merely watch the KZfaq interview of Dave Foley and Canadian girls are off the menu too.

Mr cooper is correct !! If u dont plan on having kids just leisurely date but dont get serious it will open up a world of pain for any good gentlemen.

An older acquaintance of mine, a Chinese-American woman in her 70's who never married, prides herself on how the women in her family rule the home. I often wonder how deluded she is to believe that that's so great, then tell her that if she's still open to getting married, she better find a Beta. With her the power of being in control over a man is the shit. IMO she's had some bad experiences with men in her past, made some bad decisions and refuses to take responsibility for those mistakes, is bitter and too scared to deal with her rage. So, pride + defensiveness + revenge is the way to go.

So true. Agree 100 percent.

Everyone’s a tough guy in the comments, but the second a hot girl throws them any interest, especially one a bit hotter than what they usually get, they’ll end up in the same. exact. position. Stay strong

Now men see how women felt for years before this age. Great video. Thanks for your input.

I realized I wasn't getting married when I realized the court system doesn't hold women accountable to the vows they recite at the alter.
