I love this, the “real” man: they may need your manly work-every-day paycheck; and FEAR you as a real MAN wants to be feared,and fuck convincingly, if you only knew how boring the smart ones think you are.
Hey, you’ve got physical control of her, that’s what’s real, right?

[…] Conversely, no one would ever call the dandy (emo) a masculine frame, but the dandy act has been effective with women for centuries. […]

This ‘Dandy’ archetype you’re speaking of, what would you attribute their success to be from? It’s almost as if they’re the ‘peacock’ of the human sexual market place; preferred by women because they’d love to have a son who can pull as much tail as the ‘M’ creative artist type from your case study article. Any thoughts on the evolutionary psychology of the phenomenon you’re detailing?

Way to be as retarded as the feminists you oppose. Mischaracterize much?

You can hate emos all you want because of how fey they are, which I wouldn’t disagree with, or you can get butthurt that such pansies are getting girls and you’re not.

You belong in the second camp.

So we also shouldn’t hate serial killers because they have lots of female groupies? I think you are a little to focused on the female value-system. Worthless asswipes get some points for their success with the ladies, but the total is still negative one million for being a worthless asswipe

There is a personality test called ” True Colors: Keys to Success” and there were four personality types. There was an orange impulsive risk taker, a green logical leader, a gold rule follower, and a blue artist. Naturally I rated the correct masculine order as green-orange-gold-blue but I think that missed the point.

In a boxing match it can be the case that the fearless bull will get KTFO by somebody who understands the meaning of pain and the ability to sense it in others. The tactical warrior can be confused by awkward disruptions. The well disciplined soldier can get caught by an innovative attack.

Wow.
This blog really has no peers as far as intelligent, thought provoking posts ( yeah – referring to you Rollo) and the comments too. This one ( from “a simpler place in time” directly above ) really got me a-pondering…

“actor incapable of deriving meaning from his own action and seeks out the reactions of others.”

It made me consider how much of my life is can caught up in the reactions of others to my actions.
The peril being getting distracted by the reactions to a degree that you lose your own plot and play to those reactions vs living your life/goals and seeing the reactions to it in the perspective that’s appropriate. Like the blur of trees you see roadside while speeding down the highway in your car – going to your destination.

Emo is dandy aesthetics and narcissism fused with dark triad antisocial behavior. The hipster can be considered the modern direct equivalent to the dandy having swapped the all consuming drive for aesthetic with authenticity. As such, the hipster, and his less evolved cousin the beta herb, is an actor incapable of deriving meaning from his own action and seeks out the reactions of others. An emo can still draw in a woman with his “woe is me” act because his convictions and mission are centered firmly around himself.

Indirect Game is associated with the dandy, both are compelled to astonish. Useful for driving in the initial wedge of interest, such behavior quickly becomes grating. In PUA parlay “dancing monkey”. Camus on the matter, “perpetually incomplete, always on the fringe of things, he compels others to create him, while denying their values. He plays at life because he is unable to live it.”
