I, single guy, was just turned on to your site by a good married friend of mine. I know he wishes sites like this existed pre-marriage for him. ;) Great site! Please keep up the good work.

[…] Also good reminder for OP is to never listen to women's advice on how to pick up girls. They are in cognitive dissonance about what they themselves want bar for maybe few super-aware ones (1 out of 10 000 maybe).

Wow! I just read all this in the space of 48 hours and it has really opened my eyes thank you!

Haha, totally convinced about the greatness of the ‘alpha male’ as all a woman ever wants. Well, the ‘alpha male’ is not much more then a woman’s disposable tampon. Easy to use, easy to dump. The ‘beta male’ is more difficult, as he is more interested in depth in relationships and something long term and love and love is a scary thing. So yes the beta gets less pussy but pussy is not his main interest anyway his main interest is the depth of the connection he can have with being with a woman.

I’m quite happy that a guy like this didn’t found your blog in his younger years and decided to spend his time in the gym and start some business and earn lots of money just so he could fuck woman. He shines much brighter as he is now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8V94WQjMAw
I think the vision most people on this blog on what a man should be is very limited and narrow minded.

Read the blog more carefully. AF/BB. Rollo never states that women only want AF.

Captain Obvious!? You’re alive!

Different doesn’t always means difficult. Competing in other field. Just like you can’t compare soccer with basketball.
So yes the beta gets less pussy but pussy is not his main interest anyway his main interest is the depth of the connection he can have with being with a woman.
If he doesn’t have problem with that woman constantly, cheating on him – yeah sure why not. Also, why not raise his kids on the way?
More quotes –
I’m quite happy
He shines much brighter
I think the vision most people on
A lot of opinions you have here. Care to start your own blog? It seems this post would be much more relevant there.
February 3rd, 2015 at 1:25 pm
Yes, I have opinions. No opinions allowed in a reply? I have more opinions: Like that all this differation between man and woman doesn’t make so much sense. People are complex mixtures of conventions, backgrounds, hormones, genes, brain chemistry, education, skills, affected by social environments etc. etc. and that makes up a Person. Why talk so much about ‘man’ and ‘woman’ Man should be like this, woman are like that, bla bla. Well guess what, what might work on one person might not work at all on an other. Why talk about games, competition, winning, losing, scoring? Why not talk about chemestry, love, being on the same ‘wavelenght’ and love for a person?
I also get the feeling that ‘woman’ are being demonized and downgraded in this whole manosphere community…just becauze some people got kicked in the nuts some times. Well my advice would be to just enjoy falling on your face from time to time. It’s not only woman who can kick you in the nuts, it’s People.

Since we both agree that this is an opinion – why don’t you prove your point? If you don’t understand it, it doesn’t mean it is wrong.

Yes they are, and when generalizing you should always be aware of that. But in studying dogs, one may assume all of them hear better than they see. Generally. And this is the reasoning behind the generalizations about man and woman.
Quote 3:

Yes, and if it was the case here, this blog would be useless. But it isn’t.
Quote 4:
Why talk about games, competition, winning, losing, scoring? Why not talk about chemestry, love, being on the same ‘wavelenght’ and love for a person?
Because the the first half of your list is working for most men. The second isn’t. Again, if something doesn’t work it will not be used.
Quote 5:

Feelings are good. They just cannot be used as arguments. The way you feel is not the way most woman, that I show this blog to, feel.
Quote 6:
Well my advice would be to just enjoy falling on your face from time to time.
No thank you. But go for it.
Quote 7:
It’s not only woman who can kick you in the nuts, it’s People.
Yes, but while we manage to understand the one half of people and the reasons for their betrayal, this blog helps us to understand the other half.
