== IV. No shacking up before marriage<ref>The Rational Male - Shacking Up https://therationalmale.com/2011/10/06/shacking-up/</ref> ==
<blockquote>“Never under any circumstance live with a woman you aren’t married to or are not planning to marry in within 6 months.”</blockquote>Iron Rule of Tomassi #4 states that one should never live with a woman they are not married to or planning to marry within six months. Living together without marriage can lead to a loss of freedom, anonymity, and legal responsibilities similar to marriage. Additionally, cohabiting often results in a decrease in sexual availability and desire due to reduced competition anxiety. Many men choose to live with their girlfriends for financial reasons or convenience, but this arrangement can lead to complacency and loss of options in the long run. It is better to maintain independence and enjoy the flexibility and opportunities that come with living separately.
