Pre-parental anxiety is what modern day parents worry about when deciding whether to have children or not. Its a composite of anxieties about multiple issues including about societal shifts, climate change and FOMO about regretting not having children later on but not having the option available then.
Male partner: I'm not sure if I want to have kids, there are so many people already in the world today and limited resources. Plus I like enjoying our kid-free time right now.
Female partner: I agree, but if we wait too long and then decide we want them in 10 years, it might be difficult later.
Male partner: Its pre-parental anxiety.

When your partner gives you two tasks for every one thing that you ask them to do, effectively deterring you from asking them to do anything.
Guy: Hey babe, can you make me some coffee?
Woman: Sure. And then can you clean the kitchen and bring me my lunch.
Guy: Thats weaponized tasking. Never mind about the coffee. I'll make it myself.
Woman: Sure. And then can you clean the kitchen and bring me my lunch.

When a person of color, an immigrant from outside of Western Europe/North America, or someone who is both, adopts the lifestyle and aspirations of those countries while ignoring the historical contexts of oppression, theft, genocide, human trafficking and the current systemic prejudices built into those societies. The full syndrome is manifested when the afflicted person even defends these choices and, essentially, their current and/or former captors.
Afflicted person: I have everything that I need to integrate into this new world and I've adopted its Nationalist American and Western Eurocentric views
Non-afflicted person: You will never be accepted there and you are only buying into these pervasive ideas without any reflection on how these societies became the giants they are
Afflicted person: But these aspirations, and even my preferences for the type of people I want to date and marry, are my own. I'm choosing of my own free will.
Non-afflicted person: No friend, you are a victim of Post Colonial Stockholm Syndrome

MMV stands for Marriage Market Value. Its related to the concept of "SMV" or "Sexual Market Value" which is widely used by the manosphere to describe how desirable a woman is in the world of dating and hookups. As the name implies, MMV describes how desirable a woman (or man/non-binary person) is in the context of a long-term or life-partnership. Both MMV and SMV are influenced by certain shared traits, such as physical attractiveness, but MMV also depends on additional factors such as the ability to communicate effectively, a sense of humor and empathy.
Guy 1: This girl I'm dating is so hot and I want to marry her. But she treats me like crap.
Guy 2: So her SMV is high, but remember if youre gonna marry her you need to decide that based on her MMV, not just the SMV.
