Glenn and a few others had a question about last week’s Love Commodity post.:
@Rollo – This seems very inconsistent to me. How can this be true – ” Men and women can and do love each other intensely and genuinely. They can and do see past each other’s deficiencies and their love endures. ” While this is true? “In an era of unapologetic feminine primacy and unignorable open Hypergamy, this commodification undeniably rests with the feminine.”
You’ll have to forgive a long explanation, I couldn’t simply drop this into the commentary, a full post was necessary.
The first thing we need to consider is the Male Experience vs. the female experience. I hate to get too existential, but it comes down to our individuated experiences as men and women. I’m going to give two examples here and this will also cover the Hypergamy is everything thread I noticed the commentary too.
There’s an interesting conflict of societal messaging we get from an equalitarian / feminine-primary social order. This is one that simultaneously tells us that “we are not so different” or “we are more alike than we are different” and then, yet implores use to “celebrate our diversity” and “embrace (or tolerate) our differences” as people.
This is easily observable in issues of ethnicity, but it also crosses over into issues of gender. The most popular trope is that ideas of gender are a social construct and that women and men are comparative equals and only their physical plumbing makes them different in form only.
From a Red Pill perspective we see the error in evidence of this egalitarian fantasy. I’ve written countless posts on the evidential and logical fallacies that make up gender equalism, but the important thing to be aware of is the conflict inherent within that belief – equalism expects men and women’s existential experiences to be the same, while also pleading that we embrace the differences it purports we don’t actually have.
It fundamentally denies the separation, from an evolved biological / psychological perspective, that men and women experience life in different ways. The idea is that it’s the nebulous ‘society’ that determines our gender experiences and less, if nothing, of it is truly influenced by a human being’s psychological-biological firmware.
zdr01dz posted this:
I think maybe this is in part because men have no innate desire to marry up. Hypergamy doesn’t compute for us. I know what hunger feels like and I assume women feel it the same way I do. I’m empathetic to poor, hungry children because I know what they’re feeling. However I have no idea what hypergamy feels like. I’ve never felt it’s pull.
My second example comes from Women and Sex in which I explore the fallacy of the social convention that insists “women are just as sexual as men” and that “women want sex, enjoy sex, even more than men.”
This canard is both observably and biologically disprovable, but the presumption is based on the same “we’re all the same, but celebrate the difference” conflicting principle that I mentioned above. If a dynamic is complimentary to the feminine then the biological basis is one we’re expected to ’embrace the diversity’ of, but if the dynamic is unflattering to the feminine it’s the result “of a society that’s fixated on teaching gender roles to ensure the Patriarchy, we’re really more alike than not.”
The idea is patently false because there is no real way any woman can experience the existence and conditions that a man does throughout his life. I mention in that essay about how a female amateur body builder I knew who was dumbstruck by how horny she became after her first cycle of anabolic steroids. “I can’t believe men can live in a state like this” were her exact words. She was just beginning to get a taste of what men experience and control in their own skins 24 hours a day and it was unsettling for her.
Women are used to a cyclic experience of sexuality, whereas men must be ready to perform at the first, best opportunity sexually. These are our individuated experiences and despite all the bleating of the equalists they are qualitatively different. As zdr01dz observes, no man has an idea of what Hypergamy feels like. To my knowledge there is no drug or hormone that can simulate the existential experience of Hypergamy. Even if there were, men and women’s minds are fundamentally wired differently, so the simulated experience could never be replicated for a man.
I understand how Hypergamy works from observing the behavior and understanding the motivating biology for it. I also understand that our species evolved with, and benefitted from it – or at least it makes deductive sense that what we know as Hypergamy today is a derivative of that evolution – but what I don’t have is a firsthand, existential experience of Hypergamy and I never will. Likewise, women will never have a similar existential experience of what it’s like to be a man.
So it should be an easy follow to deduce that how a woman experiences love, as based on her Hypergamic opportunistic impulses, is a fundamentally different experience than that of a man’s. The equalist social order want’s love to be an equal, mutual, agreement on a definition of love that transcends individuated gender experience, but it simply will not accept that an intersexual experience of love is defined by each sex’s individuated experience.
I have no doubt that there are areas of crossover in both men’s idealistic concept of love and women’s opportunistic concept, but this experience of love is still defined by gender-specific individuation. By that I mean that women can and do experience intense feelings of love for a man based on her Hypergamously influenced criteria for love.
I’m actually surprised that more women have yet to call me to the carpet about their personal experiences of love from the commodity post, but if you sift through the comments on Women in Love and other blog/forum comments you’ll come across examples of women describing in great detail how deeply they love their husbands / boyfriends, and are in complete disarray over being told their love stems from Hypergamic opportunism. Again, I have no doubt that their feelings of love are genuine to them based on their individuated concepts of love; indeed they’re ready to fight you tooth and nail to defend their investment in those feelings. What I’m saying is that the criteria a man should need to meet in order to generate those emotions and arrive at a love state are not universally mutual as an equalitarian social order would have the whole of society believe.
So, yes, men and women can and do love each other intensely and genuinely – from their own individuated experiences. They can and do see past each other’s deficiencies and their love endures. The processes they used to come to this love state differs in concept and existential individuation, and what sustains that love state is still dependent upon the criteria of men’s idealistic and women opportunistic concepts of love.
The Cardinal Rule of sexual strategies:
For one gender’s sexual strategy to succeed the other gender must compromise or abandon their own.
The commodification of that love state is presently weighted on the feminine because the Feminine Imperative is socially ascendant. The importance of satisfying the female sexual (and really life-goal) strategy takes primary social precedence today. Thus men’s individuated experience is devalued to an assumption of an “it’s-all-equal” universality while women’s is blown up out of all real valuation with collective expectations of “embracing their unique difference” set apart from that universality. If men’s experience is one-size-fits-all it’s really a small, and socially blameless, step for a woman to withhold the reward criteria men place on their idealistic love in order to satisfy their own sexual strategy.
Women’s social primacy allows them to feel good about themselves for commodifying the idealistic rewards men value to come to their own state of love, as well as maintain it.
It is one further step to embrace the concept that men’s experience of love, the idealism he applies to it and even his own sexual and life imperatives are in fact the same as those of women’s – while still setting women’s apart when it serves them better. Thus the cardinal rule of sexual strategies comes to a feminine-primary consolidation by socially convincing men that women’s experience and imperatives are, or should be considered to be, the same as men’s individuated experiences. Add women’s already innate solipsism to this and you have a formula for a gender-universal presumption of the experience of love based primarily on the individuated female experience of love.
In other words, women expect men to socially and psychologically agree with, reinforce and cooperate with the opportunistic feminine model of love as the equalist, gender-mutual model model of love while still believing that women share their own idealistic model. It’s the correct model that should work for everyone, or so women’s solipsism would have us believe.
re: the Love Experience
getting back on topic, isn’t my (one of my) summaries just too neato? Romantic love is the psych-out by which the mating selection process is halted: males’ innate polygamy is halted by the feeling of oneitis, and females’ innate hypergamy is halted by the feeling of bestitis.

@ Alpha Female It’s interesting to see how men who are extremely threatened by women that are more intelligent, powerful, and are inherently stronger and better looking than them behave and think. This line of reasoning cracks me up because feminists have it backwards as usual. A woman isn’t attracted to a man unless…. 1) The man is taller 2) The man is stronger 3) The man is smarter 4) The man is more talented 5) The man is wealthier Put simply a woman isn’t attracted to a man unless the man is superior to her in every way except… Read more »
Having been on the red pill journey for the better part of two years, I don’t think that actual male dominance is related to the female. Dominance is what you acquire over living your life as a determined man who wants to organize his life in an authentic, action-oriented way. When you do that, you naturally become dominant because you are single-minded in your pursuit. A woman is just a piece of that life and she will happily submit into it. Any attempts at dominance directly over the woman, which are not coherent with the rest of your life and… Read more »
re: “Have you all ever met a woman that had a very nurturing childhood and that had mid to high self esteem put up with this behavior from their man?”
Yes. Most women SEEK OUT (i.e. “put up with”) this behavior from alpha males until those women can no longer seek it out successfully. Then they settle for being treated well by betas.

Rollo, your perspective is what makes you think what Sheryl Sandberg said supports Red Pill philosophy. 1. She never indicated women should be the submissive in relationships. In fact, she never mentioned power dynamics at all. Second, the inference we can draw from her quote is to NOT settle down with an AF. She didn’t say only date AF’s either she said everyone which includes BB’s. Seriously I thight you were posting that to mock her at first, but then you used that to justify TRP…?

@ AlphaFemale
Bella is superior to Edward because she is human (which Edward and all of the other vampires in the novel view as more desirable than being a vampire, as humans can procreate and live a normal life). In fact, Edward begs her to stay a human and not turn into what he is for most of the first 3 books.
The point of “better” is resource acquisition and control. Being human does not give Bella the ability to acquire and control more resources. Human is not better than vampire. Vampire is demonstratively better than human.

C) In every other romance novel it is the same. The male is superior to the female in every important way. The man is NEVER less intelligent than the woman in… Read more »
@M Simon God help us but I hope the liberules get their female President in the next round. It will inoculate us for a while. What really makes me sad is that the rabid, frothing at the mouth “WE MUST ELECT A WOMAN NOW!” set are hellbent on getting ANY woman in there regardless of her qualifications. There is, in fact, one woman I think might actually make a good presidential candidate right now as I’ve found myself agreeing with a lot of her opinions on financial reform and the like: Elizabeth Warren. But she’s not up for the big… Read more »
@ Alfalfa
Mrs. Gamer may be a natural submissive that enjoys being treated this way. If you’ve used dread game on her, the likelihood that she has a low self esteem is through the roof.
Lol, no way in h311. Mrs. Gamer is as tough-minded a broad as you’re ever gonna find.
THis further supports my earlier assertion that low self esteem females are the ones that respond well to this.
You’re ridiculous, sugart1ts. 🙂
@ Jeremy
Hence male power, the power that modern feminist women like yourself whine constantly for a piece of, is EARNED through DEEDS.
Or demonstrated ability such as salesmanship–Game.
Alright, I’m going to do something I’ve never done on RM before, I’m going to ask my readers for their input on the next post. I have two posts ready for this weekend’s discussion. One of these is a breakdown of Alpha Female’s original 6 point comment. Since I wrote it her narrative has gone off in all manner of erratic (but predictable) tangents and honestly she doesn’t have the critical capacity to actually dig any deeper than what her point and sputter fem-conditioning has taught her to be outraged over. On the other hand, the commentary this has inspired… Read more »
@Rollo, re: new post w/ 6 points addressed in detail.
I’m Game. Even though I think those points, and the other points, were addressed in comments.
One different topic of potential interest is what Jeremy said about “When and how to reveal tumescence is about the grayest of the gray areas in human existence.”
Rollo – go with it. I’ve found her comments entertaining, and she certainly got a lot of conversation going,
Besides, it will make a great weekend subject to toss around. I considered posting something at our “house” using her comments, but I saw that she was getting a great mental workout here and didn’t want to detract from it. Too fun to witness.
re: unwilling suspension of disbelief
fyi 1984 concept, 3+3=5, etc.
Rollo —
A remedial primer may very well be in order — I’d vote for that.
I would like the six points post today, and then the other one early next week
@redlight, that’s what I’ve been doing for the last 2 months, so yeah.
Rollo:
I vote for the red pill refresher/primer first. Then refuting the “AlphaFemale” entity’s 6-point comment later.
BTW, “AlphaFemale”, this whole femdom thing you’ve got going on and your qualifying yourself to the guys around here is actually kind of cute.
sfcton makes a point on his blog, essentially that women’s shit tests are a result of their low self-esteem. I beg to differ; I think shit tests result from a woman’s high self esteem / high comfort level with a man. I think the reason he doesn’t get as many shit tests is because he doesn’t exactly exude comfort.
Short version: women treat familiar men poorly.
Alright, I’m only considering it because it’s for the weekend thread, but be warned, if I do she’s only going to take the discussion into any tangent that will distract away from every uncomfortable truth she’s ego-invested herself in.
Still, it might make for a lively debate. Just engage with the purpose of educating the uninitiated, you wont convince Ms. SIW® of anything.
@thedeti, re: ” your qualifying yourself to the guys around here”
Yeah. Hopefully she’s getting the message that the guys don’t prefer a woman who thinks she’s better/best, just like all the other women.
re: “Just engage with the purpose of educating the uninitiated”
If I told you who my intended audience is for a lot of my comments, you wouldn’t believe me.
I don’t think anyone here is trying to change her mind. Watching it go down, it appears to be a verbal “play fight” similar to how wrestling with the GF/Wife in the physical realm works, I’ve been genuinely amused in a “that’s so cute” kinda way.
And she still hasn’t figured out how she is repeatedly confirming much of what we discuss in the ‘sphere, which makes it all the more adorable.
@ jf12
If I told you who my intended audience is for a lot of my comments, you wouldn’t believe me.
Just speculating wildly–a men’s Bible study at your church?
@Rollo Giving this chick anymore headspace is more than she has earned. She’s made it clear she’s probably with a pathetic beta to make herself feel like she’s everything feminist mouthpieces have told her she’s supposed to be. Certainly not because she feels adequate on her own, which kinda kills the whole “alpha” thing to me. She doesn’t listen to anything being said or read anything she’s asked to read. Not that she replaces them with some kind of rational logic based on reality; to the contrary she just stamps her little feet and insists that the same horse shit… Read more »

IMO Sarah Palin is the best man for the job. I’ll have to look at Warren on economics, but generally I dismiss Ds on that subject because they in general don’t get how hard production is and their answer to every question is more government more taxes.
Once government goes over 50% of the economy decline sets it. With Federal, State, and Local we are right at that tipping point – on average. Which means some places are over it. Illinois fer instance.

Disqualifying is more like it.
@Rollo: you acknowledge she’s gone off on “erratic tangents” since posting her initial points. Now you want to reward her with her very own post?

Well it is your blog so go with your gut. At least it’s for the gallery, not her.

Jesus guys, why are y’all still responding to this obnoxious harpy?
You’re right. Troll radar activated.

Yep.
Palin seems like she’s just a hotter R version of Hillary without two braincells to rub together. All the women that are put forward as politically realistic options for important positions are just marketable and nothing else.
I actually think an eventual fisking and takedown of “AlphaFemale’s” 6-Theses is a good idea. 1. True Alpha Females are very, very rare. Usually, a true Alpha Female is a high T woman, high sex drive, earns her own money, is very highly educated, and very driven and ambitious, and –this is important – wants to be and expects to be the dominant partner in her relationship with a man. She wants to be the breadwinner, wants to lead, wants to be the “final word” in decisionmaking within the relationship, and is truly happy and comfortable with assuming that role… Read more »

@ Rollo Alright, I’m going to do something I’ve never done on RM before, I’m going to ask my readers for their input on the next post. No matter what the topic is my favorite RM articles break down complicated behaviors into simple, easy to understand concepts. This article is gold because it precisely explains the definition of attention whore. http://therationalmale.com/2011/09/21/your-attention-please/ What separates the behavior of the attention whore is her overtness in grabbing that attention. Consider that women’s preferred means of communicating is to be covert. There’s no subtlety in the attention whore’s methods and maintenance. Granted, women will… Read more »

“I was looking for a man that would be faithful above all else.”

Molly “admits she had indeed asked Kirk out because she considered him safe and breaks up with him.”
A few comments ago we discussed the nonexistence of divorceporn antiromance stories for men, in which men dump lousy wives for hot chicks. How about a “SIW hits Wall” antiromance, in which the safe beta refuge’s SMP soars dramatically and she starts to worry? Are we going to see that story?
Re: anti- romance for men
Middle aged man can’t get it up for get shrewish wife. Goes to Doctor for little “blue pills” doctor instead suggests trying a younger, thinner, nicer woman. Hilarity, and inspiration ensues as hero makes Redpill journey to himself discovers a man.
re: “younger, thinner, nicer”
One thing I agree with ton about is that prettier strange women tend to be nicer. Although that effect may be complicated by my seeing nicer as prettier.
When I stop and think about it, I can’t think of a greater element of cognitive dissonance in modern society. That women can act as if they have no innate power over society, it boggles the mind. Let’s step back and look at humanity from a distance and through time. It is essentially one long string of mothers giving birth to daughters and sons. That’s evolution, females choosing a mate, or controlling which birth gets preferential mothering based on their own desires. Basically, women are in full control of human evolution, and always will be. Their direct body is part… Read more »

I used to point this stuff out prior to the hit and run accident. It went on deaf ears in the comment section here. Music creates life. That can be positive, or not. Therefore, knowing the lyrics of the songs matters. In my work, it has been necessary. Ask any parent if they know the lyrics. Rollo is an exception, he knows them. Most will tell you they don’t understand what the words are in the song. The truth is… Read more »
@Jeremy So refreshing to read a post from someone that’s not hostile just on the basis that they’ve read a view that challenges their beliefs. How do you do it? All the other men here are so defensive and insecure about their beliefs they have attacked me left and right for daring to oppose them. I understand how you’ve come to that conclusion about how women are lying to themselves but their actions don’t lie. However, I would like to point out that when you look at various types of romance novels/movies/storylines, you are normally not going to find a… Read more »

Yep, it’s an outlier, nothing to see here…
tl;dr if women really believed they deserved to be treated badly, then they would think the same about their friends when they are treated badly, i.e., they deserved it. Our actions would demonstrate that we think she deserved it. They don’t. What they demonstrate is that we subconsciously (by offering physical and emotional support to the friend) and consciously (by offering words of advice) believe she does not deserve it. Narcissism will not allow itself to be trodden on. You demonstrate clearly that women do not believe they deserve to be treated badly, yet you fail to extrapolate this to… Read more »
“Dump him! What’s his number, anyway?”
Yes. The Hyenas video is quite educational.
jl12, “Yes, feminists abhor 1) Male spaces 1) Masculine feelings” Even though nothing will change your jaded worldview, I would like to point out that you are wrong. Feminists /=/ man haters. Pointing out the hypocritical way that you demonize women for committing the same acts that women “commit” is not a fallacy. Your jaded views on women branch swinging and cheating are what you think give you license to treat women as subhumans. Pointing out that if we are judging on the criteria YOU have mapped out, then men are also subhuman (where have all the real humans gone?)… Read more »
