In Monday’s post comments there was a lot of back and forth, but in the latter pages there was an interesting exchange I thought might make for an interesting weekend discussion. Commenter Kryptokate resurrected an old feminine social convention I recently covered in Validation Hunting & The Jenny Bahn Epiphany. The premise of this convention is that men seek out, and motivate themselves towards highly attractive women because they enjoy the validation or affirmation they receive from their male peers when they’re seen paired with an HB9 high SMV woman on his arm.
The “arm candy” trope is a useful convention for women in that it assuages her bruised ego and competition anxiety by converting a man’s natural desire for a high SMV woman into a perceived insecurity of his (really all men by association).
Kryprokate:
I’m sticking with my assertion that lots of guys love to show off a hot woman to other guys to gain their respect and increase their status. I’m not saying ALL guys want to do this and maybe you don’t, but lots of them do. I don’t want to “show off” a guy either — I’m an introverted homebody and don’t want a guy for anything but to stay home with, talk, have sex, watch movies, etc. But lots of men love to show off to their peers just like lots (probably most) women do.
Johnnycomelately:
Men don’t seek validation through females, men desire females objectively, tits are tits, don’t matter what the guys thinks. You think men watch porn to get validation?
Women desire to be desired, the process is completely about validation.
Problem with female desire to be desired is that it is not a very high bar to pass, I find it humorous that women brag-splain about getting sex from men.
“Heck, give me ten minutes to download an app and I could get a man to have sex with me in 30 minutes. Nothing to write home about.”
And from the Validation Hunting post:
The idea that men “seek validation” for their earned status or to ‘right’ past wrongs to their egos while they were working their way to that status is a social convention. The Feminine Imperative relies on memes and conventions which shift the ownership of women’s personal liabilities for their sexual strategy to men.
When men are blamed for the negative consequences of women’s sexual strategy it helps to blunt the painful truths that Jenny Bahn is (to her credit) honestly confronting in her article at 30 years old and the SMV balance shifts towards enabling men’s capacity to effect their own sexual strategy.
One of the unique aspects of the Feminine Imperative is its fluid ability to craft social conventions that obscure the worst misgivings of women’s dualistic sexual strategy (Hypergamy) and redirect the liability for them squarely on men’s shoulders. I covered many of these conventions in Operative Social Conventions, but chief among them is the utility of shame.
Shaming features in a majority of feminine social conventions used against men because women are conditioned to fear social ostracization as part of their same-sex peer socialization. Little girls punish each other by ‘not-being-friends-with’ another girl in their peer clutch. Using shame is a skill women learn early in life to effect the ends of their developing solipsism.
If men can be shamed into believing that their natural predisposition toward sexually desiring high SMV, physically ideal specimens of women is due to an insecurity with their personal status the effect would be one of leveling the SMP playing field. “Men only want hot women to feed their egos and impress other men” translates into shaming men (the more desirable men who can merit the attention of a high SMV woman) for being insecure with the perceptions of other men.
This carefully removes any negative association with women’s competitiveness for higher tier men, convinces women themselves that “men are just like that” to Buffer against rejection, and puts the burden of that competition on the man in the hopes that he’ll pair with a woman who is of lower SMV for fear of being shamed about his “insecurity” of wanting other men to see his status as higher than it should be.
Thus, the optimized ends of Hypergamy – a woman pairing with an SMV superior man – are better effected by a social convention.
I should also add that this social convention dovetails with another useful convention that relies on a similar dynamic – that of women complaining men sexually objectify women. The simple truth is that it’s part of men’s neurological firmware to see women’s bodies as objects. It’s a well studied fact that when men see an arousing woman’s semi-nude body it triggers the same area of our brains associated with tool use. Sexual objectification is a feature for men, not a bug.
I’ve gotten into this debate on other forums and comment threads, but it bears repeating. My N-count is a bit more than 40 women, and of those women never did I make an approach (or go along with a woman opening me) with a forethought of wanting to impress my male friends. In fact there were some women I got with I’d rather my friends at the time knew nothing about.
The debate usually spins from there about how men just “do it unconsciously”. That’s an easy fallback, but I’d argue that the limbic and visceral incentive of wanting to sexually experience a smoking hot HB9.5 supersedes any subconscious thought of how good a guy will look when he shows her off to his buddies. I’ve been with strippers, a girl who was in Playboy in the 90’s, and several other women most guys just fantasize about – half the reason I stayed with the BPD girlfriend for so long was because she was just so fucking hot – but not once did I have any thought of brandishing any of them to improve my status with my peers. In fact I preferred we just get after it at her or my place than make any conscious effort on my part to show her off.
This’ll sound facetious, but I’ve never thought of sex as being “validating” or ego-affirming. I honestly think a lot of that expectation comes from a feminized conditioning about “how sex should be” for men. I was, and still kind of am, more into sex as experience. It’s always been something fun to enjoy with a woman for me, not some meaningful act of cosmic significance. I’ve had sex with women I loved and women I didn’t, some were memorable, some were…meh. Even in my bluest of blue pill days my ‘validation’ came from other sources, not sex.
So the question for the weekend is this, as a man, do you give any headspace at all to considering how your status might improve with other men if you’re seen with a hot woman?
When you see a guy who’s physically an obvious 1-2 SMV degrees lower than the woman he’s with, do you think any better of him or do you presume the imbalance is due to some other external factor (such as wealth or fame)?
Do you see the method behind the madness of shaming-down apex Men in order to better optimize Hypergamy for “lesser” SMV women?
@zdr01dz, re: “And that’s when I realize I’m getting old, hehe.”
Hehe. Subjectively the hottest women to me are vivacious and ultrafeminine 40s. For example the moms of teenage girls, who decided to get a new lease on life when their daughters started dating.
re: age
Although any women near my age (e.g. 65) would deem them extremely inappropriate for me, indubitably girls aged about 18 to 28 are most appealing, strictly sexually. And the fact that I’m old is what makes me lump 28 in with 18. But I’d have to be sneaking around with that age, for sure.
But 42 I can and have been seen with and nobody thinks anything of it, even if they did do the mental subtraction. Nobody seriously though Jackie was Too Young for Ari at age 39.
Walking with a fattie is a DEEPLY embarassing feeling. Walking with a blondie feels great. Men DO care about status; not just sex.
I think what the world needs now is a personalized list of famousish women from each man that they would consider arm candy. But then we need a definition. I offer this one: A woman is arm candy for me when
1) She is obviously my woman, not anyone else’s. I insist.
2) There is the obvious potential for and/or history of risque PDA between us. I’m clearly going to be getting some later if not sooner.
3) She is obviously proud of being seen with me. Yes, I said this right.
4) She does not lower my SMV.
The grand consensus by virtually all the men is that women’s primary potential for affecting the men’s status is *negative*.

re: negative status Keeping in mind my definition of SMV (Skittle neutrality), it’s easy to see why women think a non-hot guy is trying to elevate his status with a hot date: since status is hot to her then she thinks hot is status. She thinks he’s buying her status with his bux, whereas he knows he’s buying her hotness with the status that bux give him. Hence a hot guy could have used excess status to get a non-hot gal, if he had any. So if he’s with a non-hot gal then it must mean he has a status… Read more »

If “arm candy” implies that the man is necessarily showing her in public with him for *some* purpose, then there are four cases. 1) High status guy with hot girl. If it’s not his main squeeze then he’s probably just using her for drumming up more girls, i.e. for preselection. 2) High status guy with unhot girl. Remember, he’s *necessarily* showng her off for some reason. These reasons are 2A) He likes her and she’s fun. Charles and Camilla. 2B) Using her some other way e.g. politcs, money. 3) Low status guy with hot girl. This is the case that… Read more »

http://veronicapartridge.com/why-i-chose-to-no-longer-wear-leggings/
Mrs. Partridge chose to no longer wear yoga pants in public so that other men would not see as much of her genitals as they were getting accustomed to seeing. Her husband agreed that when women sexually display themselves for men to see, it’s hard for you not to look, and it’s hard when you do look.
This is good albeit incomplete. I’m not getting a strong odor of repentance for her having wanted men to see her genitals earlier. Nor I am seeing anything that corresponds to her covering herself specifically to please her husband.
1, A good looking high status guy would never stay with any women.(and women know that) 2, Any women from 1to10 will only go after a Beta high status man.(and most men are clueless) Here is the reality: Men or women can not be together for ever.

Basically any career where your time and attention for me will be less is a negative to a man. If he doesn’t know it up front, he will pretty soon.
Now that I think about it you’re right. A woman’s career isn’t neutral, it’s possibly a negative. My wife was a preschool teacher and made about $30k per year. Last year I had her quit to stay home, take care of the house/kids/meals and do my paperwork. I don’t want her working. It’s a huge nuisance.

The commodification of men by women is a routine part of the FI. The bitching about being seen as “sex objects” by men is a distraction meant to cover up that routine commodification of males by society and to maintain their special snowflake status afforded them under the Patriarchy.

*IF* women truly wanted to contribute to the discussion here and learn in the process without attention whoring or attempting to be some “supergirl” of “equalism”… they’d post here pretending to be men.
The fact that they out themselves as women in a male space where there is no requirement to demonstrate what sex you are, to me, says everything about their intentions.. which is to be a woman in a space full of men.

“The commodification of men by women is a routine part of the FI” Women commodify men much more than men commodify women. Do men give condescending nicknames for men when talking among their girlfriends? Nope. Women do this shit all of the time. Women, not men, are much more superficial than men when it comes to appearances in dating in reality. Young women base their appeal for men based on the mans’ appearance, and when they get older, their wallet, utility or status.

Now you’ve done it. You’ve stated the problem so clearly that the solution is evident.

The only thing women respond to properly is sexualization.
re: Clinton
What’s astonishing to me is how unattractive were the women he pursued to treat roughly. He could easily have had his choice of two 8s bouncing together in his expensive hotel bed with him all night, but he instead preferred to bite and choke an ugly girl in a closet for a few minutes.

My only disagreement with female commenters here is how arguing with a woman whose mind won’t change sometimes seems to derail any productive discussion amongst us. That’s pretty much the attention whore MO, and having watched women repeatedly disrupt every male space I’ve been in on the Internet with it, it’s gotten really fucking old.
@jf12
lol, like I said, he’s a dog. Not that I couldn’t be pals with the guy, far from it. I think he’d be awesome to hang out with… but dear god… lol
@ Rollo For future reference, keep this quote by Ray Peat on hand. If only for your own amusement. From his article, “Membranes, plasma membranes, and surfaces”: http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/membranes.shtml “Twice, editors have printed my articles…with adjoining “rebuttals,” but I was disappointed that all of my points were ignored, as if you could rebut an argument by just saying that you emphatically disagree with it. I think it is evident that those people don’t know what would be involved in refuting an argument. They are annoyed that I have bothered them with some evidence, but not sufficiently annoyed to cause them to… Read more »

@ Jeremy and Glenn, I appreciate the additional explanation. I used to pretty much only follow and post at j4g (as bloom, redpillgirl is a blog I started later). I think that blog was intended to be a male/female space, although no bs-ery from the women folk would go wo being called out, and rightly so. I don’t expect anyone to make their posts there, or here, “female friendly” for my sake. Please don’t. And if this space is more male locker room than mixed company you are right, I don’t belong here and my presence would naturally cause a… Read more »
@ fakeemail Walking with a blondie feels great. Men DO care about status; not just sex. Meh, I dance with beautiful women alla time. Sometimes I notice men and women staring at me admiringly. Meh. IDGAF. I exchanged butt swats with an 8 who is a 25 yo friend with flirting benefits. Another woman who is a 28 yo 7 invited me to sit and chat with her. I expressed implied disinterest in the 7 after she volunteered that she was looking for a relationship with a hawt guy. She left with a “I’ll be right back.” I also went… Read more »
“I always suspect the hotter partner of an imbalanced couple has sacrificed hotter sex for, security, financial, gain, etc. This is true regardless of which gender partner is hotter. A man who settles for a woman of 1 to 2 SMV points below his SMV is making this sacrifice. He is actually exercising a form of mate guarding.” This is not necessarily true, because SMV =/= MMV, and “security, financial, gain, etc.” implies some type of long-term relationship. A woman who is “loyal, pleasant, demure, feminine, cheerful, obedient, supportive …” will have an MMV that is higher than her SMV… Read more »
<@ Rollo Tomassi I’m happy to say that decision worked out, even after 18+ years in the liquor and gaming industry and having more than enough opportunity (not to mention propositions) to have easily cheated and moved on. While I’ve had many opportunities, Mrs. Tomassi has never given me a reason to be unfaithful. That suggests that your wife is faithful and honestly that means a lot. Your wife is a pretty blonde. She could fuck a different Alpha male hedge fund manager every night of the week. But instead she goes to sleep next to you. However women experience… Read more »
@jf, Peacocked the crotch bangle yesterday for a plate. Genius here. She never said anything but drawing the attention here with a Pokemon hanging from my zipper.. I kept catching her gaze where I wanted it. Genius. If men are reading this and have some game they can get a leg up without ever saying a word. I’ll run some day game using something else later. This plate loves that Pokemon crap. She even played with the bangle. God this crap is absurd. So much red pill truth to always absorb. Women so want you to sexualize everything. As quickly… Read more »
@ son I would add the woman’s natural role is to help support the man so he can take care of them both and to have and care for children. I think part of the problem today is women expect provision/protection but w/o the supporting/helping in return and putting her man and family’s needs top of list. Women today want to be provided/protected and then also to be able to focus on her own needs and wants as her primary. Take-take does not work. Take-give (each partner both giving and taking) is a balanced system. I largely see women not… Read more »
“That’s why supposedly Red Pill chicks can claim that they don’t dress up when they are out and about in every day life to excite male attraction.” A woman’s resource IS her sexuality, a man’s resource is his provisioning. Under monogamy culture a woman gave ALL her sexuality to one man and withdrew her sexuality from other men. A woman’s sexuality was removed from the purview of other men and safeguarded for her husband. Her attire reflected this, Islamic women ‘hide’ their hair from strangers but reveal it to their husbands, that’s the monogamy contract. Under serial polygyny culture women… Read more »
@redpillgirlnote, After being forced into a red pill awareness 15 months ago I agree with so much of what you say. Many men no longer know how to be men. And many women no longer know how to be women. Not that there is anything wrong with being a man nor a woman. I just end up with the conclusion that feminists want women to be men and somehow expect women to be attracted to female traits. Hence why I lend credence to the idea that the leaders who dominate the feminist movement are probably high T women who wish… Read more »
“Hence why I lend credence to the idea that the leaders who dominate the feminist movement are probably high T women who wish they were men.”
And/Or lesbians who want access to younger, higher SMV women. Which would encourage “experimentation” and blurs the lines between the difference in masculine vs. feminine dominant behaviors, while at the same time suppressing masculine behavior generally.
Oops data autocorrect, that was @ eon and invest (not eat).
@ bp now there’s a chilling, and not probably far off, thought! :/ yikes!
@ redpillgirlnotes
Maybe you have posted on that topic or maybe it’s too personal but I would be interested to hear what she’s doing right or if you prefer a more general angle, a male take on keeping a husband happy!
1) Put out
2) Look good – keep your hair long and your body-fat around 20%
3) Be a nice person
It’s exactly that simple. He will never leave you. If for some reason he does leave or cheat he’s a psycho. You’re better off without him.
@ jf12 Now you’ve done it. You’ve stated the problem so clearly that the solution is evident. Women’s entire problem with nice guys, with polite guys, with nonviolent nonthugs, with Christian study group LJBFs, is that the women are reacting as if these men were gay. The only thing women respond to properly is sexualization. Hehehe, yep. One of my buddies is an IT nerd and I set him up with an HB6 girl that I worked with. By the end of the second date he still hadn’t kissed her because he was so shy. That was the kiss of… Read more »
3) Be a nice person
This above all else where #s 1 and 2 flow from #3.
You serve his interests because provides for and protects you. His interests are not served by nagging and criticism, and yours won’t be either.
@ Sun Wukong When it gets really lol-worthy is when some HB4 or less out on the street or hanging out with your friends calls you guy for not wanting to fuck her. Yep. If a chick is HB3 or higher she thinks that her shit doesn’t stink. It simply doesn’t compute that men won’t find her attractive enough for sex. Exhibit A) He’s Just Not That Into You! After a magical first date, Susan was so sure that she would hear from Stephen again that she even boasted to friends that she’d met “the one.” Two agonizing weeks later,… Read more »
@ zdro1dz
re: He’s just not that into you
LOL.
All I’ve got to say:
@zdroi1dz,
“Maybe you’re fat? Did you consider that?”
LOL! On they never consider that! At least until one of their group loses 100 pounds and is hit on relentlessly. Then they start talking about getting their stomachs stapled.
Oh women. So insane.
@redpillgirl, re: “am a woman and if AWALT well then I am too, even if I don’t want or mean to be. I have the “girl” operating system”
Yes, exactly, and this is what makes you different from all the others: knowing you are like all the others, and being willing to do something about it.
Although I hear the dual boot options are gaining popularity with other girls these days.
@StringsofCoins, a Pokemon was a good first choice, especially if personalized to her preference. I’m leaning away from the Lucky13 or other lures, even without the treble hooks, and more towards something, I dunno, chick magnety. I’ve literally never worn jewelry of any kind, so I’d have to guess based on what 1970’s disco dudes might have worn as pendants on necklaces. A big star, a Nazi cross, a chuck of crystal (or maybe turqoise? chime in gals, we’re trying to invent a trend), a brass ring (“try to grab it”), an old skeleton key, two little ivory tusks (“you… Read more »
@Johnnycomelately, re: “a sexual display is a sexual display no matter how it is dressed up.”
Yes, of course it is. It is institutionalized torture of unlucky males. Remember, what women enjoy most about hypergamy is getting to turn down good-enough men.
A little shaman bag, no tea bag no politics, something digital – flashing led? Ah! With radar homing signal sound effects, it flashes faster when you point your crotch at the one you plan to love. Boop … boop …boop boop boopboopboopboop …Girls will say “Ugh! That’s a terrible idea! Never do that!”, so it probably works.
@StringsofCoins
At least until one of their group loses 100 pounds and is hit on relentlessly. Then they start talking about getting their stomachs stapled.
No way, the rest of her group just sits around complaining about how men only like her because they view her as a sex object. Commerce hamstring to justify not losing a pound because men should like them for their personalities.
Nevermind that I we can’t put our dicks in their victim mentalities.
@ jf12 – dangly things
And that’s why the Scots where sporrans with their plaids and kilts. Sadly my ancestry doesn’t justify such fashions. Maybe I can hang a pretzel when wearing lederhosen.
@ jf12 I am not sure about this zipper thing, I must have missed the backstory. Is it a new fad? But I think I get the idea. Of those you suggested, brass ring was the bait that jumped out to me. But you have several great zingers there! (Look away from the zipper! Lol)
Dangly things continued.
For those of us out west it might be an opportunity to repurpose the fashion abomination known as the bolo tie.
Perhaps cod pieces will make a comeback. Maybe just sewing gaudy, shiny buttons to flies of our trousers would do the trick.
redpillgirlnotes, “I would add that woman’s natural role is to help support the man so he can take care of them both and to have and care for children.” I think that you are absolutely right, and that any honest disagreement arises from confusion about the word “support”, which tends to be used to mean many different things. In some of my previous comments I have mentioned complementarity, which is essentially a natural interdependence, in which capacities satisfy needs, and strengths compensate for weaknesses. However, men and women have different capabilities, and when they choose / desire to support each… Read more »

“No thanks, coach. The ladies like it when I wear my cup on the outside and plated with chrome.”
@ Stringofcoins – Please, oh please post a pic of the PokeMon thing hanging from your zipper. @ eon & redpillgirl – The operative question when evaluating who is screwing who in the Blue Pill, FI informed world is to ask the age old question: “Qui bene” – who benefits? Women, in spades. So pardon me if I don’t let women off the hook for this shit. I was that way for a while in my early RP journey – a good year of just saying “hey, we have all been operating with a bad script” after being initially pissed… Read more »

Just a few minutes before reading this post I messaged a friend suggesting I bring a hottie I’m currently banging to a gathering where I know several of our friends will be. I did this consciously aware of the fact I’d be showing her off. I don’t think my ego is low or I’m low on confidence. In fact I’m quite confident generally and am banging two other hotties on the side (not as hot as the one I’m inviting). I think this has mostly to do with me perceiving her as a trophy, demonstrating to the others that Game… Read more »
@ Softek
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE
Haha! Holy crap is that a real frame from anime?
@glenn My Red Pill thinking has come with a heavy dose of Machiavellian thinking and understanding of people and their interactions. If you really want to understand what women are up to, do the first thing you must do to form a strategy in war or negotiation: find their true objective. From there you can derive almost all their future actions. Women aren’t solipsistic as much as they’re cut throat. If you serve their current objective, you’re part of their life. The moment you don’t, you’re not. It’s pragmatic, efficient, and ruthless particularly when dealing with men. It isn’t personal… Read more »
