I love this question Ben!! If I became President of Love, I wouldn’t try to engineer romance — I’d fix incentives.

I’d invest in honest relationship education early, slow dating by default, and systems that reward clarity over volume. Fewer options, clearer intentions, more accountability.

I’d also focus on reducing chronic stress and instability, because people bond better when they’re not in survival mode — and I’d normalize being single so relationships are chosen, not rushed.

One key thing: I would actively discourage red-pill ideology — for both men and women.

That content thrives on manipulation, resentment, and zero-sum thinking. Love doesn’t work that way. Healthy relationships aren’t 50/50 scorekeeping — they’re two people consistently trying to give their best.

What I see instead is confusion being incentivized:
• Men being taught to use women rather than approach relationships with long-term responsibility.
• Unrealistic and contradictory expectations around purity, sex, and commitment.
• Young women absorbing distorted standards about money, status, and worth before they’re emotionally or financially grounded themselves.

None of this creates stable couples. It creates distrust, delay, and isolation.

Healthy love emerges when truth, generosity, maturity, and long-term thinking are incentivized — not fear, leverage, or gender wars.

Wow this is a fantastic answer! I rarely see people talk about love when it comes to relationships.

It’s all about “protecting” yourself and getting a prenuptial agreement.
