Shame, I read your old post on "faux traditionalists" and was proud of you for pointing that out. But having "side adventures" while you were married is very faux traditionalist. There is no "mostly faithful." You are faithful or you're not.
You're right, and I do remember that old post...

I don't think this necessarily contradicts my points, however. The "faux traditionalist" I referred to is a man who wants to "have his cake and eat it too". He wants to complain about modern society, but he's a sterile husk of a man. He does not contribute, does not reproduce, he holds on to certain 'values' that he claims matter to him but he does not practice what he preaches.
A traditional, old-fashioned man would marry, and he'd bring home the bacon to his wife and family. If he has the time and resources, he may have an affair or two. A mistress, perhaps. It's quite common for a man to this, and still be a solid husband. Throughout history any man of means and substance usually had more than one woman, for a variety of reasons. Many maintained secret second families even; I have one myself, as a matter of fact, as of me writing this I have six biological children and next year will welcome two more, bringing the "grand total" to eight. A pretty solid score for a man in the 21th century, I'd say.
The "faux-traditionalist", more than anything, is a man who more or less is the male equivalent of the crazy cat-lady feminist: all high on morals and with very strong viewpoints, but ultimately a genetic dead-end who has a huge wash-list of complaints and reasons as to
why he is a genetic dead-end but... goes nowhere, in the end.
Bottom line: don't be a faux-traditionalist. Be a Genghis Khan, be a Shaka Zulu or Attila. Not a neckbeard or a catlady with slightly better morals and a lot of creative excuses to explain away the emptiness and pointlessness of his existence.
Ghenghis Khan and Attila the Hun are you f***ing kidding me? You mean history's biggest thugs and degenerates? A thug who happened to lead an army is not a traditionalist just because he happened to live in the past. These men have no legacy except rape and murder. You might as well have pointed to MS-13 members or street thugs as great examples of traditionalists because they are anti-feminists.
All of this sounds like quintessential, faux traditionalist, right-leaning liberal nonsense. "I'm a man of means so I deserve multiple women!" Bullshit, the church would've had half your wealth forfeited in the past. Many right-leaning liberals seem under the impression that rich men were allowed mistresses in the past but this wasn't true. The church was just as aggressive about policing the behavior of rich men as they were of peasants. That's the primary reason why Christianity is special. The rules apply equally, you can't get away with being a degenerate while claiming that its your right as a certain kind of man.

A faux traditionalist would, yes, be the kind of guys who complain about women wanting providers. I don't expect nor want my woman to work. But I usually don't see this nearly as often as I see men who refuse to be loyal to one woman and then make a pathetic excuse to biology as for why they cannot remain faithful.
I saw my father remain faithful his entire marriage without any effort and I remained faithful to my ex girlfriend without any effort either. The shame of cheating on my woman would be the equivalent of cutting my hand off.

That is a very faux traditionalist thing for you to say. Real traditionalists are about morality first, above everything. Real traditionalists have always been about overcoming humanity's bestial nature and sublimating it for the sake of building a more advanced civilization. Liberals have always been about giving into our bestial nature and returning to the law of the jungle where to the victor goes the spoils. Liberals are obsessed with tearing down all the rules of civilization and returning us to a more bestial type system of existence. Your philosophy sounds more in line with liberal philosophy even if you are a provider to your woman then it sounds in line with traditionalism.
My ex had a boyfriend who was just like that. He wanted her to be a stay at home wife and be the provider, but he had no standards for himself and cheated on her several times. He was always flirting with other women whenever he got the chance. Eventually my ex left him because of his behavior. After she left him, he ran off and slept with dozens of women, almost impregnating one. It used to piss me off while we were dating how many times I'd say something to her and found out that rat bastard had said the exact same thing to her. Thankfully, my ex told me at the time she knew I was genuine about it and that her ex was just a fake. That we had a lot of superficial similarities but no similarities deep down.
