Time’s Up

I got some ‘fresh’ insight from a female Rational Reader:

It’s sometimes annoying, sometimes painful to read this blog, but it gives me clarity.

As a 35 year old rapidly approaching 36 year old unmarried female, it’s makes me cringe to see how snarky guys view the average chick in my demographic.

I hope I don’t have the arrogance attributed to my age group. Perhaps I do about my youthful looks, but then again I have lived cleaned and never been a sun worshipping, druggy slut. I’m different than the average modern day American/Western female.

I genuinely like most men and feel sympathy for them that women CAN be so difficult. I enjoy being feminine and girly and only go thru random periods of wanting to achieve a lot. Pretty happy just being alive. lol

I don’t give it up and am closer to being a virgin based on my limited picky dating habits.

Sure, I would have loved to be married since my 20s, but feel happy I wasn’t like a huge majority of women who rush to get married. If anything, I believe in romantic love too strongly and held on at times when I should’ve let go.

So not every woman in her 30s is a shrill she-devil harpy who wants be your own personal succubus and suck your life force and rape your wallet.

I have 3 very nice guy friends just got engaged over last few months. (Aged 30-39). They didn’t hold these dogmatic views towards women. They moved things ahead in a linear manner and were open to love and hopeful about marriage and kids.

They all met healthy, nice cool chicks in the same age range and got engaged within 1-3 years.

Again, this blog has been an entertaining read, but I take it as seriously as any other entertainment rag out there.
With a grain of salt.

It will excite R. to know that he has many devout acolytes at this point. Ironically, this site is encouraging blind following by unhappy betas instead of grooming strong well adjusted true Alphas.

I’m sure Kate Bolick is crying bitter tears for you as she counts all the licensing and advertising money she’s earning from pandering to your demographic on TV and in The Atlantic.

The difference between contemporary men’s gender doctrines and those of women’s is that women’s tends toward the ultimate end of marriage or at least an LTR commitment. This is the idealized hypergamic goal state; single monogamous union with the best available mating option in terms of breeding and long term provisioning (i.e. pluralistic sexual strategy). Men on the other hand are biologically predisposed to mating with the best available short term option(s) based on physicality and sexual availability. It’s not that men don’t want an idealized monogamy, but our sexual imperative has to be sublimated in order to achieve it.

Between the sexes, these are conflicting breeding methodologies. For one sex to fulfill it’s methodology the other must rescind their own. Thus, in order for one gender to maintain a social dominance in terms of breeding methodologies, the other must be characterized in the negative. This is why men’s polygyny is socially vilified while women’s hypergamy is the accepted norm. Men are then socially predisposed to accept women not only as the sexual filters of society, but the rules makers and the arbiters of that same social and moral acceptability.

Your indignation at this blog or the community on whole is due in large part to this social framework. You see the summation of dating, Game, romance, etc. resulting in the finality of an idealized, hypergamously perfected marriage (the female imperative). The inner conflict you and most women in your demographic have is that the same hypergamy you hope to perfect has become the source of your worst frustrations. The constant, feminine primary entitlements women have been conditioned to expect from idealized Men becomes the means of their worst disillusionments.

The hope was to assert the dominance of the feminine breeding strategy by conditioning and shaming Men into the internalized belief that it was their moral / social responsibility to accommodate the female methodology at the sacrifice of his own. Marriage is the RIGHT thing to do, so sayeth the gate keepers of sexuality, but only on women’s terms and when it conveniently fits into their life’s schedule. Only now that social convention based on feminine hypergamy is running headlong into the realities of biomechanics.

You see, while you may in fact still be sexually attractive at 35, the simple truth is that you are not as attractive as the next generation of 22 year olds arriving on the sexual market every year. Today’s hotties are tomorrow’s clearance rack items. With each passing year you become progressively less able to compete with the newer younger and hotter women becoming available. So, in order to counter this, women are forced to create new social conventions, new gender definitions, etc. in an attempt to level the playing field. Thus we get social dictums celebrating cougars, and myths of women’s new sexual prime (38 to 40? shocking).

Feminization’s worst failings aren’t due to Men awakening (and reacting) to this fresh understanding of feminine primary social dynamics – feminization’s worse fear is women finally acknowledging that hypergamy is painting them into corner within their own social constructs. The hope is to cash out their hypergamous chips before an individual male becomes aware enough to see the Matrix for what it is. Your 3 just-married friends may have managed to pull that off, but not you. And it’s not blogs like this that are hindering that, it’s the inherent flaws built into a feminine primary social structure long ago.

Time’s up.

Life’s not fair ladies…at 30 I can choose between women my age or younger. At 30 you are rapidly approaching expiration. Being 30 for a man is like a woman who turns 15.

At least there is some karma out there for all the advantages women get with nature in their teens and twenty or what the corrupt government gives them.

Unmarried 35 year olds have nobody to blame but themselves. They have unrealistic expecations. They have no clue as to their true value in the sexual market.

Sit around and wait for Tom Brady as your ovaries dry up. It’s a great life ahead of you.

The real difference between men and women at the age of 35 is how they think about their mate is that……Women think “can I do better?” and men think “It could be a lot worse.”

It’s that is the problem with the woman’s mind.

Rollo, I am undeniably a rAFC trying to swallow the red pill. My “morpheus” (to borrow from the matrix analogy some more) recommended your blog as a good start to unplugging. Reading this latest post I am once again starting to wonder about certain aspects of female game. I get that women’s hypergamy will drive them to seek the best partner they can possibly attract. What I was wondering about is whether or not they take any proactive role in finding that best possiblity. Looking around at my own environment I notice that I rarely if ever see a woman… Read more »

A woman’s dual-minded nature typically prevents her from openly approaching guys she’s attracted to.

Her hamster may send off the tingles, but her forebrain says “I can’t do that, I don’t want to look like a slut!”

Still, women have way more tells than masculine men do — their body language generally doesn’t lie. If her body is aimed at you, if she makes eye contact more than once, if she has that coy smile when you lock eyes on her, what more do you need from her?

@ A.B. Dada So the message is: women will rely exclusively on social conventions. They will assume that any man that does not respond to their IOIs is simply beyond the reach of their hypergamy or is a beta who has failed her first shit test (are you man enough to approach me?). Or am I missing something? And if I’m not: don’t women try to move the upper bound of their hypergamy in any way? Are they reliant on higher value beta’s like the one Rollo describes in his post “Balancing Sexual Pluralism”, who are apparantly unaware of their… Read more »

@Harlequin: A woman of still ripe sexual value can and SHOULD raise her standards as high as she can go. If women were taught that aging is terrible for them and they definitely have a peak period for marriage-worthiness, they should be settling down during that peak, and only settling down with high status males. I wouldn’t say a woman’s dual-minded nature is a social convention, I think it’s natural from a hormonal perspective. I also believe that low-T high-E males exhibit dual-mindedness (“nice guys are manipulative”) and that high-T women are NOT as dual-minded. The social conventions creep into… Read more »

Read the book called “The Definetive Book of Body Language”. You can download the free pdf of it. There’s a chapter that tells you everything to look for when a woman is interested with you through her body language. Very rarely will she say it verbally…but she will say it through her body.

Dilated pupils (the best tell if you have good eye contact with her), smiling, mirroring, playing with the hair, touching, showing her palms, giggling, fidgeting…are all tells.

@Case: Women do approach men, yes. Typically, in my experience and research, women with relatively high-T levels are the ones who approach, which leads to my hormonal theory that high-T individuals are the verbally initiating parties. The thing is, I don’t know if high-T women are good relationship candidates. Are we talking ONS or are we talking LTR? My best LTRs, the ones with NO drama, NO arguments, NO female dominance, always revolved around women who are hormonally balanced towards feminine endocrinology. They’re not aggressive creatures. I had to initiate with them, although their body language was LOUD and broadcasting… Read more »

Congrats to her friends that married those 35 year olds and are very happy! Those girls sure got a good deal… Partying up their 20’s and early 30’s and still being able to catch a sponsor.

When you marry a 35 year old she will be 45 in 10 years! That is totally retarded if you can marry a 24 year old, she will be attractive at least 10 years!

Interesting how a 35 year old grown woman refers to herself as a ‘chick’. I see this often in older people that still behave like they are adolescents and have a tremendous lack of exposure to life and experience. Her last line, which takes a shot at readers here, is telling in that she now only has resentment towards men because none of them were ever good enough for her. This is only her frustration coming to the slow realization that her hypergamy got the better of her and less quality men are showing up at her front door. Her… Read more »

Try as we may, convincing a woman that her sexual peak lay actually between 18 and 25 is always an effort in debating denial. For all the self-convincing attempts to redefine sexual valuation to the contrary, SMV for women is ultimately decided by Men”.

One of the very signs the man is still plugged balls deep in the matrix is his effort to EXPLAIN anything to women. Women are NOT our equals. They are not receptive to logic, ideas, words. They are receptive to matter – our bodies, our dicks, status and power, dominance, strenght, aggresivity, while these things trogger automatic programs in them – acquisitive mode, “love”, anger, frustration, FEAR, etc.

1. I am often confused by your terminology. What is a breeding methodology? Read through my writing a bit more.

This is the salient point from the Mrs. Hyde post: According to strategic pluralism theory (Gangestad & Simpson, 2000), men have evolved to pursue reproductive strategies that are contingent on their value on the mating market. More attractive men accrue reproductive benefits from spending more time seeking multiple mating partners and relatively less time investing in offspring. In contrast, the reproductive effort of less attractive men, who do not have the same mating opportunities, is better allocated to investing heavily in their mates and offspring and spending relatively less time seeking additional mates.

What I’ve learnt from Rollo’s blog is that a lot of a woman’s behavior when it comes to mating is because of hypergamy, I don’t really see the need for all this ‘run hamster run’ stuff .I mean, many women are just acting acting biological cues when they’re at that age soo . . . Just saying, the way in which this post was finished sounded a bit unfair. Obviously a woman wants a man that can cheat but won’t, but… Read more »

One thing you realize while growing older is that women really do “fall off the cliff”. It happens at a different age for every girl, but the decline is severe and dramatic. I’ve seen friends go from “pretty” to “old lady” within a year; and they *know* they’ve become invisible to men — all the quick glances and flirty interactions they’ve enjoyed since their teens instantly evaporate. Some girls get fat and worn-out in the late twenties, others “still got it” going into their 40s. But despite “Sex In The City” propaganda that 45 year old actresses can still bang… Read more »

Chances are this woman was also “snarky” when she was 22; however back then she was young and (probably) hot so it didn’t really hurt her. Most guys will put up with a lot of shit from a girl, as long as the girl is hot and the sex is good.

It’s only when a woman approaches the wall and her looks start to fade that her “snarky” attitude starts to work against her.

@thebloggerssoliloquy, Everyone knows men want something that is hot, young, tight. So much so that men spend their llives being socialized to sublimate their simian sub-programming and take female virtues into account that serve the purposes of the larger civilization, or even just of a long-term relationship where in general the female partner over time loses SMV more precipitously than the male. At the same time, there are a thousand cultural tropes designed to conceal from everyone, men and women alike, that women too have simian subprograms, and they are every bit as vacuous and banal as men’s. This site… Read more »

@Case “At the same time, there are a thousand cultural tropes designed to conceal from everyone, men and women alike, that women too have simian subprograms, and they are every bit as vacuous and banal as men’s. This site stands out from others for unreservedly and unapologetically exposing those tropes. We do not fault women for the simian ancestry that we share. We object to the fact that while we have been acculturated to sublimate our own natures, women are free to indulge in their own unexamined, and uncritiqued.” A very fine statement, and you’ve pretty much answered me there.… Read more »

Like G–d Lo-ve doesn’t exist. It’s a trope. All of us Lothario’s; or maybe Romeo’s, perhaps Melmoth’s, or even Ba’al’zeb’u’ub’s; or Devil’s. I was told last night I am both God and the Devil. It lured her into my bed, and drove her away from her own desire’s. Knowledge. However when naive one can believe in it. One being a woman, or a man lying to himself. I have turned away three different women in the last 24 hours, after they wandered into my bed, or I made my way into their’s, because of their apparent boyfriend. He never existed.… Read more »

Without a doubt, the single most damaging thing to women is men talking, in large numbers, about their shared experience with women. That’s what makes the internet so dangerous and that’s why it’s so easy to see this woman’s thinly veiled contempt for this and similar blogs. Women like to sit on the sidelines and choose winners, but they don’t want the victors or the vanquished to talk about it.

Gilligan’s comment is check mate. The whole deal. The entirety of animosity towards the manosphere. Women want to control the narrative. And why don’t they want the victors and vanquished to talk? Because they still might need something from the vanquished (such as beta providership once the party is over), and the chances they’ll give it to the dimishes if the betas know what’s really going on. One commenter (Deti maybe) described what women want the best: That they want the feeling of danger/excitement with the risk of danger/excitement being removed; the thrill but the assurance it will all be… Read more »

Mike C:

I don`t get how Susan Walsh can call you confrontational in her style when she is VERY confrontational in her style when attacking you, other guys there, and ideas in the sphere. She is very hostile in a lot of her writing.

Mike C, underneath the pleasantries, advocates of the feminine imperative know that the basis of their ideology cannot hold up against critical review. Thus anything that challenges that ideology is considered confrontational, hostile or as evidence of the challenger’s past experiences making him biased against the imperative’s motives. Your most cogent, well thought and thoroughly evidenced arguments will never persuade people who’s egos are invested in the feminine imperative. Sugar coating terms doesn’t change their meanings, so you’ll still come off as ‘adversarial’ whether or not you call Hypergamy “Hypergamy” or “Feminine Enlightened Self-Interest”. It’s not the terminology that offends,… Read more »

Well, yes and no. This is true but more than that. Due to solipsism, a disagreement of ideas is not perceived as a disagreement with ideas, but as a personal attack.

But given the combination of the influence of social media, the difficulty of Game itself, and the dismal prospects of plugged-in and/or Beta men, it seems possible that not all, or even most, 40-yr old women, post-Wall women will be unable to get laid should they so desire it.

This YouTube video (which is audio only), raises a good argument for this very possibility.

Long time reader, frequent SS poster, I want to pose the following question to see what you all think. I don’t have any friends in real life I can talk to about this kind of thing so its hard to get constructive feedback on ones observations. This article brings up the two different sexual mating strategies in which one must prevail – in this case the womens. I don’t question this since it is the women at the onset which dictates how any relationship moves forward. However, with that in mind, we come to the male’s sexual strategy which is… Read more »

Well, I’m female (yeah, really) and I don’t mind the “red pill” at all. Always thought that way, actually. And what about >open marriage<? Makes life in our society so much more enjoyable.

Not every marriage has… Read more »

LOL- to all those commenters who think women don’t approach.

They do!

It’s just that your average AFC has no idea what constitutes an approach by a woman.

You need to remove your guy goggles and stop looking for approaches by a woman being done the way a guy would do them.

Great article, Rollo. “Ironically, this site is encouraging blind following by unhappy betas instead of grooming strong well adjusted true Alphas.” Only alphas read and respect TRM blogs and books. They may be blue pill or purple pill alphas when they first arrive, but they are still alphas. They have just lost their way. TRM knowledge is not for betas. Only an alpha male will take action on this wisdom and do the work it takes to transform out of blue pill state, because he is willing to take responsibility to create his life according to his own mission.

women need to watch more basketball… to learn about the shot clock.

i guess they feel they can just keep dribbling the ball… waiting for the perfect time to shoot it… desperately hoping the shot will fall and win the game (perfect guy + marriage).

but they ignore the shot clock… bc everyone is watching the dribbler (attention)… and it tick-tocks to 0:00.

then it’s game over… the gym is empty, but they’re still dribbling a ball with less air… while begging to change the rules of the game.
