		<description><![CDATA[The idea that hypergamy drives women to be in charge of the relationship (instead of trading up for a better partner) is a new concept for me. 

Why would she stay in a relationship that doesn&#039;t satisfy her hypergamy needs? I&#039;ve seen this happen and the female just takes charge as you say.

Please expand.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rollo -

I&#039;m glad I finally found a site like this after all I&#039;ve been through. Your writing is the exact equivalent of the sunglasses in THEY LIVE; a lens through which all the lifelong suspicions finally become blindingly, horrifyingly clear. Thanks for leaving the light on and the door open.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just read Fred Rotten&#039;s post. It described my life to a T. Her dumping me happened inevitably when she had no more use for me, exhausted my resources, and traded up to her new boyfriend/mule. Reading these posts have made me realise exactly how much I bought into the whole &quot;emote more, get in touch with your feelings and open up your defences&quot; BS that has done more to harm men in the last 20 years tan prostate cancer.

Glad I came here.]]></description>

There is no way for women like me to go, because as you say most men are beta and yes dear males......sooooo upsolute yuk. 
I am sick and tiered of all this princesses all around me. But also I am sick and tiered of males who follow them and like to rescue them. Does no one sees it is a game???? I am a mother of two males, I am frightend for my boys. I will teach them all there is to survive in this mindfield of females. It makes me sad to be a female when I am reading all this.
Cheers]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t really understand the last section concerning the &quot;Abdication Imperative&quot;.  It was a little unclear, I thought.  Is your proposition such that society has instituted a convention whereby men acquiesce to their wholly conditional position in relationships with women, lest they be discarded in favor of a replacement who will comply?  If so, I got that much out of it, but I know (I think?) you had other ideas in there. No offense, but the last half of this post was some of the most obfuscated writing I&#039;ve seen.  Could use a better explanatory style.  Maybe define your terms and premises a bit more clearly.]]></description>
