		<description><![CDATA[You have to believe that actions have consequences. If any of your Game theory has any value whatsoever, then the current &quot;cash out early with income and prizes&quot; model has to have negative consequences for both men and women. Some women may *think* they&#039;re winning by being enabled to indulge their worst inclinations but to accept this at face value is almost as big a mistake as indulging one&#039;s own worst inclinations and pretending to oneself that there will not be correspondingly negative consequences.

So, and therefore, if you are looking to get married in the West, and particularly to a western woman, you have to be alert for a woman who already knows through personal experience the suffering bought on by this (modern) model of marriage as well as you do. 

And you have to be very sure you *know* the woman you&#039;re marrying. Which means, incidentally, knowing yourself, because men are not blameless just because some women are bitches. But having dated a woman and successfully gamed her into taking her knickers off for you does not mean you know her well enough to marry her.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I still don&#039;t agree with the idea that men are the more romantic.   What I&#039;ve seen in the world is that countries where men have more relative power the women are the most romantic.  Where women have relative power the men are the romantic ones.  Romance seems to come down to hope on the part of the least powerful.  I think a lot of these strategies in history adjusted depending on difficulty of survival, and warring with surrounding tribes.  If most men were killed off in a war a woman had to be on her best best behavior to get access to and the support of one of the remaining men.  In times of peace and wealth a woman did better to be distant and difficult to pick and choose for the best genes because support was guaranteed, youll note in the world that all of the countries in the world with the hottest, best attitude women usually have two things in common..harsh conditions, and major recent kill offs of the male population(Russia, Paraguay, Colombia).  Meanwhile the countries that have been world powers and few or no losses in wars, have the worst looking, worst attitude women(US, England, Spain).  Think of the case of Paraguay at one point 85% of the men were killed in the war of the triple alliance(and that would have been almost 100% of 15-35 year old men).  Imagine how womens attitudes would have changed about work, about love, dating older men,etc.  What kind of guy who pulls 3 women at a time like a rock star develops romantic oneitis?]]></description>
