Concubines had identical obligations to wed wives in regards to motherhood. Those obligations are, by today’s standards, not particularly responsible parenting.

I mean, that could just be because the Jews are more civilized and sophisticated than Indians.

A dogwhistle implies anyone understands it, and even most admitted antisemites probably don't understand this.

Datapoint of one, but I don't know every word on the left. One of them I googled and arrived at the conclusion that I need some khan academy to understand, not just a definition.

And those things genuinely appear to have been relatively rare in historical societies- unmarried men visited prostitutes or, uh, lady palma. Respectable women might not have waited all the way til marriage, this was definitely acknowledged by relevant law codes even into the twentieth century- but these same societies listed 'asking for a blowjob' as grounds for divorce.

Teen dating is actually a pretty recent thing- before about the thirties, dating was a serious matter for adults looking towards marriage(which of course didn't mean none of the young women doing it were teenagers). The fifties casual dating culture was a brief moment in time.

The jews have it to, apparently. I've been told that the mormons have an informal one.

Because women are low-agency.
I would also wonder how many of the men in san fran are not looking for, uh, female companionship vs NYC, given the reputation of san francisco...

'Pass' is totally a normal and reasonable option- at a certain point, the corresponding man to a given woman in the 'would you want your child in a relationship with this person' scale is literally incarcerated, while the woman still has a clean record and is in full time employment(probably at walmart, but still). Rather being single over dating a convicted felon who doesn't have a job is an entirely reasonable decision, and if you don't think so get back to me when you have a daughter.
I'm willing to admit that there's a problem with average women turning up their noses as merely slightly above average men. I live in a bubble with very different issues with the marriage market, but I'm willing to believe it and there does seem to be corroborating evidence. That doesn't mean every woman should marry her corresponding man. The point at which they start to beat you and drink away all the family money is higher than the woman being unmarriageable.

Look, I don't know you. I suspect the advice I can give is inapplicable because I'm handsome enough that chic-fil-a cashiers randomly hit on me(despite the increasingly obvious age difference). You could lower your standards, or commit to a given community. But you've got to do something. Men are the gender with agency. You can't just sit there complaining and expect it to find you a wife.
You can of course pay someone to find you a Moldovan wife.

Orientals have weak genes, assuming you're white it'll just breed out.

Catholicism seems mildly protective against the woke package as a whole, without necessarily defeating any individual piece. Including very liberal catholicism; even James Martin has some issues with the woke(boomer TDS, on the other hand).

Women aren't monolithic. They're polylithic- that is, they reflect the values of their local communities more strongly than men do... but there's many local communities women might belong to.

Men do seem to care about the social status of their partners. Women care a little bit more, but it's not like height where many to most men see it as an irrelevancy and most women have strong preferences(although this preference is for 'taller than her' rather than 'being 6'3' and- gentlemen- cowboy boots are cool right now, you can add two inches for $200 with significant resale value and they never wear out).

It seems like the median modern western woman is not so upset about being a whore and more upset about being a concubine.
For those in the back, a concubine is a woman who is sexually exclusive and usually dependent on a man without getting the social privileges of his wife, or a formal wedding... but has identical obligations. Remind you of anything in the modern west? You know, like a recent trend? One with a large happiness gap vs married couples driven largely by female satisfaction?
Most women aren't out there whoring, even if they dress like it. The average partner count is, like, three, and it seems like this is more driven up by a handful of very promiscuous women than it is down by female virgins? But most women in America do suffer from lack of ability to get married- it is the man's job to propose, after all.
Of course coupling is down as well- but part of that is simply that the apps have no economic incentive to actually produce stable long term relationships(an app which simply charges for matchmaking would be both very lindy and solve that problem, of course- but the gods of copybook heading haven't returned sufficiently to fund it). Dating apps which try to produce stable and happy couples go out of business.
What you can do? Well, try to set your single friends up, and that may include some amount of 'well, yeah, you ain't gettin' scarlett johansen who never disagrees with you/Pride and Prejudice is a work of fiction'- and you'd be surprised what people are willing to overlook when you can reassure them this person is not a serial killer. Pressure your cohabiting, or seriously dating, friends, to get married(and if you are a man doing this to male friends you do have a real role to play). If you're cohabiting with someone, change that- for the men, you can just buy a ring(most women would rather a smaller one than none), and for the women... uh, if he won't propose, what exactly are you getting out of it?

The accusations of murder have no substance to them. But drunken teenagers driving a boat to drunken party island where they left one of their friends behind without making sure he got his phone back were at the minimum being shitty friends with a willingness to violate minor laws(DUI, MIP, etc).

There were almost certainly actual crimes involved in the Nolan wells situation. Hes not an innocent victim, but transportation provided by an intoxicated teen is one of those things that isn’t an innocent explanation.

Christian societies had brothels. Thomas Aquinas even has a lengthy digression about why they shouldn’t be banned.

The most common ancient patriarchal law codes treat rape, seduction, and kidnapping as the same crime, and punish it with a fine and a requirement for the rapist to marry her. One must imagine that not infrequently the ‘rape’ was entirely consensual, not even dubiously so.

Perhaps in part because treatment of civilians by conquering armies was just generally extremely poor- the looting, massacres, enslavement, etc would also not be acceptable today.

Was consent explicit?
Like sûre, doing drugs with a guy and stumbling off to another room with him voluntarily is one thing, but it doesn’t imply consent to group sex.

It’s entirely possible these guys were dumbest crooks rather than terrorists.
Indians belong to thousands of endogamous castes.
