Throw your offensive line under the bus?

When I read that my memory instantly took me to a time when I had done that exact thing. Damnit Rollo. When reading wonderfully articulated posts like this one they almost always have the same effect, a punch to the face of my beta-programming. A punch that is necessary.

Now, confronted with a man who asserts his status as a prize, the women navigate a narrow divide: on the one hand, they needn’t work to secure the attentions of most men; on the other, they are attracted to a man who won’t supplicate. In the end, though, I think most default to habit and culture, and choose the supplicant: it’s less work, emotionally, intellectually, and materially. And in this way they wind up with a drafthorse greater-beta type, which affords her an easier lifestyle.

In trying to understand a woman’s long-term value, I would say her respect for a man’s ‘prize’ nature is as important as her demonstrated virtue. When I backtest a model of female qualities on my more significant relationships, its the presence of virtue and a woman’s ability to earn a man’s affection and trust that are quite rare.
