Should wasting someone's market value be punished by law?

[Anonymous]

The market value for us is fertility and youth. A man making her wait eternally for that proposal with fake "one day" promises, keeping her for his selfish needs is destroying her value and lowering her dating pool, ruining her life. Now that woman will likely not trust another man.

The market value for men is having resources and stability to be able to provide. An evil golddigger that takes away his assets in court is destroying his market value, ruining his life and his dating pool is ruined. Plus she's doing a disservice for the rest of us.

I believe someone (man or women) should be punished by law for destroying someone's market value. I find those people despicable. What do you think?

Destroying a woman's fertile years is the equivalent of taking away a man's entire lifetime savings and leaving him homeless and penniless, destroying the dating pool.

If we live in a perfect world it should. But proving malicious intent in these cases are difficult. Did he really waste her years intenionally? Was she the one ok with her years getting wasted? and now she is just bitter that they didn't end up together.

Thats why many rape cases get dismissed or dropped. Its not easy to prove intent. Did she go to his house to have sex? Or did she go to his house to visit him as a friend and he did end up raping her?

The same with the guy u say the court does that to him right? So will the court punish it self for punishing him?

We all face injustice but not always there is a justice. Going after others like that you will end up in life wasted in courts. Just move on with your life, and choose better people to mingle with life is too short to mingle with losers who waste your resources

Are you under the impression that taking personal accountability will make you turn to stone?

On the off chance the answer isn't "no", I'll point out that the first victims of your proposed law would be women in college, all of whom would be arrested for "wasting their market value" by spending their prime reproductive years getting an education instead of having babies.

That's different than actually getting manipulated by an anti-commitment man that refuses to simply dump her, set her free so she find what she wants.

[NamerOfStars]

Not in the least- it's expecting a woman to act like an adult and accept responsibility for the decisions she makes. YOU decide to go to college, YOU decide to enter a relationship, YOU decide what the terms you'll accept in a relationship are, and YOU decide whether to enforce them. No blaming it on the evil superpowered men that you CHOSE to be with.

Relationships are complex and individual, and making broad assumptions about the market value of individuals is not appropriate. Not everyone places the same emphasis on factors such as fertility and youth, and people can still find a partner and form meaningful relationships even if they do not have the "right" market value. Forcing someone to be in a relationship with another person against their will is not a solution and can be extremely damaging for both parties.

Ultimately, people should be allowed to make their own decisions about who they choose to spend their time with and build relationships with, regardless of their perceived "market value".

I mean I object to the idea that we are trying to assign a market value to humans. That seems really wrong on a moral level. But regardless, it's both people's responsibility to manage what kind of people they let into their life and the choices they make in response to those people. It's not about the "value" of the person. Sometimes people just make bad decisions or get involved with the wrong people without knowing it. You can't actually assign an objective "value" to a person, so your premise is flawed.

Why do so many women expect men to propose to them after 2 years. It's interesting how I know people who never rushed into getting married and their marriages lasted way longer than those who want the man to marry her after 2 years of dating.

Regarding your question NO. You are putting the entire blame on the guy when you yourself are also to blame for wasting that time away.

[Asker]

What if she doesn't agree with his timeframe after 4 years of living together, he's really taking too long (ex: he keeps that's saying is a bit soon) but she's 26-27 years old and is ready now?

[boggboss]

Nope I think its a ridicules stance to take and will end up punishing people for a relationship not working out

[Asker]

So what's the solution to put a stop to both cases.
If a relationship isn't working out and the man knew after the 1-2nd year that he doesn't ever sees a future with her, why the stalling, why still keep her and give her false hope? That's cruel and selfish.
A woman divorcing just to get monetary incentives is cruel too. Those women are doing a disservice for the rest of us that actually want the real commitment.

[boggboss]

The law can't do anything because proving they did it with malicious intent and things just not working out would be impossible

[boggboss]

People always will be responsible for who they decide to spend their time with

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

No, not at all. People just need to be better at choosing mates and seeing the warning signs ahead of time so they can get out before it's too late.

[Asker]

Yes perhaps. Though there are manipulative people and the extend they take to manipulate can be shocking.

[LazerBean]

No. If a woman is stupid and easy enough to stay around with a man like that, that's her own fault.

[Drumlin2001]

Nothing stopping her from walking away at any moment. She's wasted her own time.

[Twalli]

It would be impossible to prove definitevely.

[jahaims]

you're the problem

[Asker]

I'm trying to fix the issue for all though. If you notice in the case, I have no preferences when it comes to injustice being too. I put both cases.

that's dumb
