Generation Alpha Widow

barbie

My real-life friend and internet shadow, Good Luck Chuck, once expressed this idea to me in a comment (SS forum?) thread:

“Rollo, once a guy gets to be 40 ALL women are Alpha Widows. There’s simply no avoiding it. By age 30, unless there’s something psychologically wrong with her, virtually every woman a guy might want to date has some kind of baggage – kids, a former bad boy(s) she can’t forget, or some other residual effect that weighs down on her as a result of basically following the socio-sexual “you go grrrrl” script the majority of women do today.”

As part of the greater whole that has become the manosphere, and courtesy of the age of technology, today we have the unique benefit of being able to go back in time and observe the meta-game being played by the Feminine Imperative. I did something similar in Choreplay; comparing and contrasting the five year reinvention of a feminine-operative social convention by Diane Mapes. However, you can do so on a larger social scale as well, and chart the social trends that typify the ‘fem-think’ of a particular decade or even longer.

In the early 2000’s the feminine order of the day was “live while the living’s good.” The HBO series that defined that era was Sex and the City. The fantasy of masculine control for women could be realized and along with that the world was a woman’s sexual oyster. Blatant demands of sexual satisfaction mixed with the frustration of perfecting an optimized hypergamy with a selection of prospective men made for not only an award winning series, but was also responsible for the social saturation of a new feminine mindset culturally.

SatC wasn’t necessarily reflective of what was realistically going on from a cultural meta-perspective, but its social influence and associative feelings for women was undeniable. As with most cultural influences for women, the impression is all that mattered – personal conditions and reality be damned women, wanted to live vicariously through SatC.

That Was Then

Now in its second season, HBO has a new cultural benchmark for women in Girls. In 2012-13 the sexual market landscape is a new frontier compared with the SatC days. Rather than sell the fantasy of wanton sexual largess and indulgence that SatC did, the feminine order of the day is bemoaning the lack of marriageable men possessing the elusive balance of Beta with a side of Alpha. Make no mistake, the sex is still the primary associative for Girls’ predominantly female viewership, but now the message is less about power and more about the powerlessness women of this decade are frustrated with. In both shows, the male protagonists are impotent caricatures of modern men, and in both shows the women’s primary plot conflicts are rooted in these men’s inability to live up to feminine expectations and in such a way that is accommodating of the conditions their life’s choices has determined for them.

In SatC the frustration was met with blunt force. The solution was to overpower men into entitled submission with spunky feminine über confidence and enrapture the only men so deserving of them – men with equal to, or preferably greater than, social status than themselves. In Girls the dynamic is an equally intense powerlessness; the mechanic of plot conflict relying on its female viewership’s empathy and sympathies. The Girls generation wallows in the frustration of men’s imperfect suitability for their needs. Not only is the indignation aspect of Girls supremely satisfying for women, but the emotional associations women make with this show tell a greater story of the current gender landscape.

Girls appeals to the generation of Alpha Widows that Sex and the City was itself an accomplice in creating. It’s easy to relate with Chuck’s evaluation of modern women being a seething mass of Alpha Widows in this light, all pining for the guy(s) who, at least perceptually brought them as close in their real lives to realizing the dream of a perfected hypergamy. Only now do they realize the consequences of extending the search for the hypergamous dreamquest, but the blame for those consequences doesn’t lie in their choices or even their inability to recognize the mechanics of their own hypergamy. No, the blame goes to parents, the blame goes to cultural forces they are only now conveniently aware of, and of course the blame goes to all the men who would not or could not help them save themselves from themselves – the same men who adapted to the sexual market their decisions created.

The zeit geist that the feminine imperative would have women believe today is that the source of their unhappiness comes from being sold on the idea of an acculturated priority of putting professional life above personal life. As tempting as it is to agree with this, the problem is that the same empowering professional aspirations that women may or may not have been encouraged to internalize are inseparable from the personal (romantic) decisions they made for themselves. Women’s professional beliefs influences their personal beliefs and vice versa. So now, once again, the feminine imperative reinvents the messaging, but the same culprit of women’s unhaaaapiness is still the same – the men who evolved contingencies to cope with the sexual market place women developed.

Now the feminine imperative’s meme is about men’s unwillingness to adjust to women’s wanting a satisfying relationship prior to their turning 25 years old. Asshole Alphas have polluted the sexual market. Their insistence (not women’s predilections) has made the nefarious hook up culture what it is today and the poor, disenfranchised Girls of generation Alpha Widow are bearing the brunt of Alpha predations. What’s old is new, and it’s the men created by the SatC generation who wont Man Up, do the right thing and girlfriend-up a mid 20’s girl.

Part of swallowing the red-pill is coming to realize just how rare it is for women to understand the repercussions of their actions and how rarer it is from them to take responsibility for them. Their lot in life is never something they did to themselves. A woman from back in highschool (about 25 years ago) today posted on her page: “If life gives you a shit sandwich, you don’t have to go spreading it around.” Almost a noble thought, one might think. Except for the fact that this woman got pregnant at 15, married at 19, divorced at 28,… Read more »

Rollo, are you familiar with a new book called “Paleofantasy?” From what I’ve heard, it’s trying to make evolutionary psychology fit the feminine imperative, since evo-psych has been used to challenge the ruling feminist orthodoxy.

I see a simple solution: don’t date older women. I’m serious. If they have baggage like that described above I simple NEXT them, and if she has a head full of bad wiring, which I would consider being an alpha widow qualifies, then she’s also not making the cut. I can live with that. Maybe when I’m older I’ll change my mind, but for now I can afford to be choosy as I’m only 36. Remember fellas, there is an endless supply of younger women in the 18-24 range who haven’t been laid properly and/or still values a good provider,… Read more »

I will go out on a limb here and defend this show up to a point. Even Roissy himself acknowledges that “Girls” is pinching from his site lots of red-pill ideas and concepts about Game and today’s SMP. It is very game-aware, even if its audience isn’t and they miss the meta-joke. In other words: your observations are correct, but the writers are just reflecting the vagaries of the SMP back through these very fucked-up privileged characters. One working title for the series was “Smart Women Making Stupid Choices”. The women (mostly) are toxic and the men super-Beta-ized, except when… Read more »

It’s just hamsterbation. And someone needs to rub their face in it. And I volunteer. How do I hate thee, let me count the ways. I read a study called “Changes in Women’s Mate Preferences Across the Ovulatory Cycle” in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. I’d say that’s a pretty reputable source. The study described the traits that women choose/prefer/are attracted to in men and compared those traits when ovulating to when not. The group of traits included attractiveness, successful, warm, intelligent, arrogant, confrontational, muscular, faithfulness, Good father. So what did they pick? What is attractive to them.… Read more »

Oh, yeah, I left out something. The study also said something I think was pointed out on this blog.

And were somewhat less attracted, actually resentful, of their present partner if he did not possess those traits, “Particularly if he is asymmetrical” “But often (wish I had italics) women do not resort to extra-pair sex because there is the ever present possibility of divorce” Yeah, and in 2011 and these United States,… Read more »

@Fred, I’ll admit there is a lot of red pill in Girls, but because it’s delivered in a fem-centric context it makes a viewer think only women uniquely know red pill truths and men are the ones ignorant and indifferent to their own base motives.

So the message is no longer “I am an independent, strong willed woman who should be desired by an adoring, higher-status man chosen from my man-harem” the message is now “I’m a poor victim of men’s callous affections of which I can’t help but be consistently aroused by.”

Yeah, that study. Yes, sports fans. You heard it here first.

Oh yeah, a guy that works on a suicide hotline set me a Facebook message. He hears a lot of the hopelessness in men and many have expressed how they feel Feminism has won and there is shit left for men. He says if he can get them to laugh, then get a good nights sleep, then the morning is usually better.

Once again, I pointed him to Rational Male particularly “Casualties”.

There is little to be done in the matter. Most Men have an innate understanding of the inner workings of the feminine machinations. If you want to get laid and fulfil your own biological imperative, the option for most Men is “jump in and hope for the best”. Teaching them to catch (then quickly release) these broken Women is the most straightforward, honest approach another Man can take in aiding his fellow patriot. For the Men who are not willing to cut ties with one after she sinks her teeth in, they reap what they sow. Either she is going… Read more »

Ok. I got a joke. It’s not particularly germaine. I am reading this paper The Law of Accelerating Returns by Ray Kurzweil.

I didn’t have cable when SatC was on and I don’t have cable now to watch Girls. However, I did catch up on SatC on dvd and have seen both of the movies. I enjoyed them at the time, but they can be pretty cringe-worthy in retrospect. Generally, I’d say all’s fair in love and war, but if someone blatantly lies to you or truly misleads you about their intentions- even if they believe what they are saying at the time- the idea of owning up to your responsibility would start to try to patience of a saint.

Even then, there were only two that would have ever had any kind of shot with me. One of these girls had only two prior sex partners and the other had had only one.

Western culture will never, ever let women blame themselves. You can’t sell product or gain votes by allowing women to possibly believe that anything could ever be their fault. After all, doing so would mean Oprah lied, which, of course, in their minds is impossible. And since Oprah can’t lie the only plausible explanation left is that men are to blame. Conclusion:Today’s older women have been so over-sold by modern society’s false reality that she can never truly untangle herself. It’s part of her DNA now.

I once heard a reviewer call SatC the story of four promiscuous, fashion conscious gay men living and working in Manhattan, who, in a meta-textually rich conceit of oddball casting, were portrayed by four women. (Or rather, three women and a plasticine cyborg (Kim Cattrall.)

If you look at the show that way, the women’s behavior makes far more sense.

The best revenge is a life well lived. The path most women take will never be a life well-lived…and they probably won’t get why it isn’t a well-lived life either. If a man gets it, his path will be well-lived. Drugs, alcohol, engaging in whatever whimsical pleasure comes your way, being angry at women is not revenge…if anything it’s conscious self-destruction. You really want to mess with a woman’s mind…be generally happy independent of them. That’s what I do. They’ll either reflect your mood…or get pissed off because you have something she can’t seem to get. If what you do… Read more »

I think Sienfeld and Two and a Half Men are the male flip side to SaC and men’s reactions to having to navigating the new ‘rules’, I guess that’s why the shows were so successful with men.

Kramer is the epitomy of the failure to launch adulescent or MGTOW type, George is the beta (who even though starved of female attention finds relationships stiffing) an Jerry is the classic Alpha.

I think there is a interesting phenomenon that is currently happening and as far as I know noboddy in the manosphere is covering it, I call it “the dead of the Alpha widows”.Here in the UK recently two post-wall women killed themselves due to their impossivility to get commitment from their Alpha male lovers, I know another case that was not covered by the media.

It can’t and the victim… Read more »
