We all know things like facebook and the internet really fuck up women and lead to SJWs, hyper-feminism and the like. A girl that doesn't frequent facebook is rare in the west and still uncommon in less developed places.

If I was ever serious about a relationship that I planned to last the rest of my life (or at least years) I would surely try to limit internet access as much as possible, to assure my women doesn't turn feminist over the years. (And without spending hours on facebook she will be more focused on pleasing you)

Has anyone tried this before and how have you gone about it? I want to hear if it worked or not, especially trying to limit women that are already entrenched into the internet culture.

I call them "technology interruptions" piss me off with your phone or computer they get destroyed.

Laptop batteries and microwave ovens do not mix well but only a couple seconds don't put it in for 30.

If you're trying to restrict a woman from the internet, she isn't the problem......

Agreed, he's looking from the wrong angle.

Moderation is the key. Decent, feminine, self-aware women are quite capable of using social media without erupting into Lindy West.

What's that I hear?

Is it a ban hammer???

If I was going to marry a woman, I would certainly have a conversation with her about Facebook, male friends and all the rest. As in, she has none of that. Perhaps you can have a joint Facebook account?

This is all in the context of marriage though. To place restrictions on your wife isn't weak, it's being realistic about the fact if you give her the freedom to be available to all the other men, to be tempted, and all the rest, then of course "mistakes" will happen down the road.

It's human nature to give in to temptation. Most especially for women since they don't subscribe to morality as being of primary importance they way men do.

Women know this, and if she balks about surrendering her freedom to you then she isn't worth marrying. End of story.

Edit: it's a good question the OP asked. Not sure why he would get banned for that?

Keeping a girlfriend off the internet has about as much chance of success as reversing a woman's right to vote. Very little in fact.

I tried this way back in '98 with a girl I was living with. It backfired. If she can't use her own laptop, she will attempt to use YOURS. She may even be savvy enough to install a keylogger - which is next to impossible to detect unless you know what to look for. At that point it's game over since you should never, under any circumstances, let ANY girl use your laptop.

I'd say if she busts out her phone while eating out at a restaurant with you or at the movies... next her.

To answer your question about if anyone has done it before. I have. It was with an FOB Mexican here in NYC. On our 2nd or 3rd date we were walking down the street and her cell rang. She took the call and talked with some guy "friend" from Mexico while we walked.

Afterwards, I told her that if she wanted to be in an exclusive relationship with me she had to end all contact with her guy friends. Phone, email, Facebook, whatever. She protested a little, and then I explained how guys/girls can't be just friends and if they are truly her friends they will understand she finally found a great man and needs to let go of all other male relationships. If they are truly her friends then they will be happy for her.

So, after I explained it all she said, "Yes, mi amor", and there was never another issue again. That I knew of at least.

Deep down every woman is hoping to find a man they can surrender too. You have to be man enough to demand it, and it also helps if you are good at explaining the logic behind it.

EDIT: Reading your post again I see it's specifically centered around internet and Facebook usage. Again, I think if your going to be married then each person's individual lives should perish. Certainly that should be the case with Facebook, but what about email? Maybe the same should be done there as well.

As far as keeping her off the internet entirely, I think that's impossible, but I would restrict the time to the bare minimum needed to answer emails, do some online shopping, etc. She's going to get the feminism from TV, Magazines, advertisements, and interacting with other American woman. The internet's evil is that each person becomes more isolated and individualistic from the other.

Generally, technology does not change people's behavior, it merely allows them to continue being who they are.

Before social media there was television and before that there was daydreaming. Attempting to restrict a person's media usage isn't going to change them. Finding reality more interesting than the theater of their own mind is up to them.

Not surprising
^^^ Mexican women, well better yet Hispanic women come from a more consevative background and tend to be more submissive with their husband/man/bf whatever..

To me restrictions versus standards is weakness versus confidence.

To constantly throw on restrictions shows weakness, a lack of frame, and some serious gaming issues.

To have standards BEFORE you bang a girl and she agrees to it shows very strong frame and game. (As Onto alluded to).

I have a great example: I told an old ex she needed to stop smoking and we both deactivated our FB's. She constantly hid and lied that she smoked. I kept forgiving her, she's turned on her FB ever so often, I kept forgiving her.

Does that sound like good game and a strong frame ? That kind of mindset will destroy LTR's

It's impossible to avoid the internet, sure you can minimize it.

I agree with Onto that guys and girls can't be friends, however some girls are more private than others when it comes to being online or having social media.

It doesn't hurt to have that as a high standard and explain how guys and girls are and how we can't just be friends. My LTR know's that, hell it's been over a year and she's not on my FB. Smart move on my part.

Do RVF enemies make sleeper accounts in case they want to use them later? Exhibit A: this .

The idea behind being a man who is successful in love and in life is that you'd be so compelling that you're significant other would lose interest in attention-whoring on the Internet.

At its best, the relationship between my ex-wife and myself was like this. Other than sex and music there was little interest she had. Those were the days.

Anyway, if you have to "restrict" you've already lost. You know that you've won when she's with you and she has the phone turned off and buried deep in her purse.

You think Donald Trump's romantic interludes get broken up by his girl's tap-tap-tapping away at her phone?

Post: #16

^ I think Trump is the distracted one in any relationship and the girls are probably constantly trying to keep their mouth shut that he pays more attention to getting stuff done than to paying attention to them.

I imagine if a girl he was dating and liked decided to get her phone out on a date, he'd have a one strike rule and firmly tell her his time is valuable. No second chances.

I assumed when I clicked this thread I would see a line through OP's name. 0 for 1.

Post: #18

If you are even thinking of doing this, you already lost. Your judgement and frame was off from the beginning. I don't want to keep prisoners, I want to satisfy women so they don't want to look elsewhere, and if they do, they don't see anything better.

Why I am responding to a troll, I don't know.

Agreed ! Your SMV is so high she wouldn't give a shit about anything else, she wouldn't even be on her phone around you, and if she is, she's texting calling you etc.

So suspenseful. I checked this thread three times before I finally saw the line through his name.

I actually think this is a valid concern, probably because I am from a older generation that didn't even see ANALOG TAPE ANSWERING MACHINES until I was a teenager.

There are at least two stages of (technological dependence and corruption)--

first the one where early adopters
start taking advantage of the new tech, and even they are aware it is new- and what things were like before it.

and later when younger people (like you in the collective) forget what it was like BEFORE the new tech, and are completely unaware of the disadvantages of it, because they have nothing to compare it to.

I've explained to younger girls in the Phils how in the USA the educated classes put away their phones during conversations, meals etc, and that it is the poor and uneducated that are constantly playing with their phones and are considered rude.

To some extent this is true, and definitely appeals to their sense of propriety and snobbery.

Post: #22

^ politeness and not using phones during conversations, meals etc is important, but a whole different issue than what the OP is talking about- restricting access like her personal North Korea. If a guy has a desire to control a woman's actions to that level then he's doing it wrong, and chose a faulty woman to begin with, and didn't make his expectations or values clear early on.
