I’m kind of glad women are like this because I see where I go soft and their hyper gammy hardens me and makes me a stronger person.

“Part of why PUA progressed so fast is that we accept generalizations, even though we understand there are outliers.”

Applies to races too, not just women. Respect to you all.

“I get scared for men when reading stuff like this. Though the premise for rejecting “oneitis” seems safe and logical, there is a part of it that makes me think that doing so chips away at a man’s soul. Does that make sense? It seems that man should be able to find that solace in a woman. That he cannot doesn’t make the desire wrong, nor does it make him less masculine to have that desire? My husband should be able to count on that from me, no? I am not stating the case that having a woman makes a man better, not from the angle of self importance on the female part. What I am saying is that a man who takes a wife should get the benefit of better quality of life, whether that be her physique, companionship, nuturing ability, loyalty, love (or all of the above!)? She should be a constant complement. It seems contrary to nature to turn that desire off in a man.”

This paragraph embodies alot. She describes the loss of that “romanticized” love as “chipping away at a man’s soul” Bullshit, I’d argue it’s discovering a man’s soul, with the emphasis being on “man’s”. The disney shit isn’t healthy for any man. Having any serious expectations from women isn’t as well. All that lovey-dovey is critical for a woman’s soul, not a man’s. That soul that developed the “oneitis”, while some of it may be natural to a few men, it’s mostly a social construct. Independence is the essence of a man’s soul. This is why being “afraid” is unmanly, for fear is a control on a man’s independence.

“Scared for men”: Life is scary for most men, as the majority are expendable. No one coddles you as a man, few will help you. When you are a woman, society is your ally. When you are a man, it can be you greatest enemy.

I see the word “should” popping up alot too in this paragraph. Once again, yes men “should” be able to rely on their women for support, just how baby’s “should” never cry and all roads “should” be paved in gold. But this goes to show the disconnect between how women think they are as a whole and how they actually are. Men need to deal with the world as it is, not how it “should” to be.

By the way Rollo, not to pile on, but thanks for this post and all of them. When you get that sense that a post of yours will cause a shit storm, that’s just your instinct telling you the importance of it. So do it anyways. While it seems like you’ve already done quite a bit with your life, this blog, whether you know it or not, might be one of the greatest things you’ve done with your life, at least in terms of making a difference. The ugly topics that get you criticized are the ones that needs to be brought to the forefront the most, although I’m sure you already know that.

Thanks again,
