Mostly men choosing for their daughters but also often with the mothers input and usually for their sons as well.

On the evolutionary benefit of arranged marriages, and the consequences of moving away:

In the rohingya, dads marry their daughters off as soon as they get their period, sometimes earlier. Husband are usually older men who own a lot of goats, and they typically will purchase two or three or four teenage wives. Younger men are shit out of luck and have to fuck goats or each other or they can rape a burmese girl.

How much fun is it to fuck a 45 yr old when you are 15? Its not any more appealing to those girls than it would be for you guys. Hell you dont even want to fuck 45 year olds when youre 45. Is this optimal? Only if you are a dirty old man. The rohingya are a degenerate parasitic society who breed recklessly and the burmese smartly kicked them out.

Our current society is a tyrranical matriarchy that is failing wildly, so stupidly you think literally the worst kind of patriarchy is preferable, but it is’nt. Fathers are often mercenary about these arrangements and prospective husbands are often dirty old men. Young women have to fuck old dudes, young men have to fuck goats. Less than ideal male controlled scenario. There is a reason you haven’t moved to chittagong hill tracts yet.

You are a retard and you didn’t watch the video.

No I didnt it. It was a half an hour. Ive seen that guy once or twice, he’s okay.

My point was that sometimes when men are put in control of that decision the result is tyrranical matches. The magic bullet is not “let’s let hi IQ dads decide who their daughters have to fuck”. It’s simplistic. It assumes the only societal problems stem from “women’s lib”, if that were true bangladesh would be paradise.

Yes there were a lot of arranged marriages in the upperclasses in Victorian England for example, but that wasn’t a bed of roses, people were miserable in a lot of horrible matches, I read all those books. Literally an entire genre devoted to how shitty and arbitrary match-making in the English middle-class really was.

Men/Dads will make matches in their own interest. Daughters will make matches in their interests. Young women are often fools—being young— and make bad choices. That has to be weighed against the fact that parents will tend to act selfishly— they don’t have to fuck the guy. They don’t have to live with him.

Came here to post this. A ~18 year old young woman, 90% of the time, has nowhere near the wisdom or self control to choose a lifemate all by herself. And that's not to slam women. Just facts. She NEEDS mature input - and more specifically she needs input from an older male who knows how to screen her suitors.

Because life is not a Hallmark movie and if she runs off with the dashing young scamp she's "in love with", odds are that she will end up as a single parent of a bastard with a truckload of emotional/mental issues and the SMV of a rusty garbage pail.

The future spouse was usually chosen well before 18. In fact, for centuries, the average age for marriage was 12 to 14 in the western world. Old roasties (i.e. feminists) keep trying to push that age of consent higher and higher to try and tip the supply/demand in their favor. I read something a while back about "second adolescence" that goes until you're 25.

It was 12-14 for nobility, not for the common folk.

Cade_Connelly_13 ago

My grandparents married at 16.

Was that the norm or are you stating an exception to the norm as an example?
