During the last post’s comment thread I sort of went back in time to when I’d first heard the term ‘open relationship’. It was back in the mid 80s and I’d heard it being proposed to me by my first girlfriend when I was around 19 and she’d grown bored of my predictable Beta perfection. Needless to say this moment preceded myĀ semi-pro rock star 20s and the natural Alpha-ness I matured into. So at the time I was thoroughly steeped in the dutiful Beta conditioning of believing that ‘going steady’ monogamy and only banging the ONE girl was theĀ right thing to do.
I also believed that women’s motives were reliably based on what they said rather than what their behaviors implied (and their contradicting behaviors were the result of being confused by nebulous ‘society’s’ unfair expectations of women). So it was with a great deal of confusion that I was forced to wrap my head around exactly why my ‘girlfriend’ would want to retain me as an intimate orbiter while she pursued other guys to bang and become potential intimates with.
She suggested an “open relationship” ā all the same non-sexual intimate expectations with no expectation of reciprocal sexual fidelity ā Ā an idea she’d no doubt been familiarized with from her former hippie ‘free love‘ parents. And not unlike the simpering Beta in today’s cartoon, I too was uncomfortable with sharing my 18 year old girlfriend with any other guy. Looking back it was quite the conflict to my 19 year old, Beta conditioned mind. On one hand I was taught to respect the independence of a woman and didn’t want to be the guy to tell her what she could or couldn’t do, but I also bought into the Disneyesque sacrifice all for true love narrative.
I suppose now I owe her some gratitude since my rejecting this “I want to play the field” episode was instrumental in setting me on a course for my Alpha 20s and the “don’t give a fuck” attitude that unintentionally served me so well with women then.
Today there are cutesy synonyms like ‘poly’ to describe a woman who believes it’s in her multiple lovers’, as well as her own, mutual interests that they obligate themselves to what really amounts to her attention, emotional and sexual needs independent of each guy who fulfills that role for her. The problem arises in the degree of investment those men believe that an above board ‘poly’ woman will be able to appreciate. I had this situation presented in last weeks’ comments:
Why does an open relationship favor women and not men? Itās only cuckoldry if you donāt approve of it. If you agree to an open relationship for both of you, then it seems like an equal footing.
The cuckoldry Devil is in the details; and in this case that Devil is in the perceived ‘agreement’ and who’s doing the agreeing. Contemporary Open Cuckoldry and the social conventions of ‘free love’ era faux-idealisms in ‘open relationships’ work in tandem today to promote the sexual selection strategy of women’s Hypergamy.
Cuckoldry, in its most visceral, Hypergamous sense, favors women because there is no margin for error on a manās part. Bear in mind that an āopenā relationship only serves a womanās sexual imperative because she benefits from comfort, rapport, security and likely provisioning of the primary man with whom she’s come to this agreement with. In all honesty I’ve rarely met a guy in an open relationship who wasn’t a Beta at the mercy of his wife or LTR’s proliferative phase, Alpha Fucks, Hypergamous impulses.
Most of them understand their optionless condition and resign themselves to the women they’ve committed to, wanting to, and acting on fucking more suitably, conventionally, masculine men than themselves.Ā Arguably, most stay at home fathers fall into a sort of contextual form of an open relationship for much of the same reasons even if their wives are only getting a vicarious Alpha ‘fix’ by working among higher status men who haven’t abdicated on their burden of performance by adopting the feminine support role.
What AboutĀ Those Assholes?
Now I amĀ aware of the often domineering men who insist on fucking women outside of their commitment to a monogamous lover. I also understand that the reverse can and does apply. I’m also aware that when a man’s SMV exceeds a woman’s it places her into a similar position to that of the Beta men I’ve just described.
Bear in mind that the issue I’m on about here isn’t one of fault, but rather how an effectively polygamous relationship serves the interests of either genders’ sexual strategy.
It’s vitally important to consider how both of these ‘open relationship’ formats are popularly perceived in a culturalĀ context. For a woman, being ‘poly’ may hold some stigma to it. She may be considered a de facto slut in some sense ā remember she’s maintaining the pretense that she’s committed to one or more men, rather than a booty call where there is no pretense of exclusivity ā but the social (not to mention legal assurance) efforts being made to ‘normalize’ what amounts to her cuckoldry of that ‘primary’ partner is reinforced because it seemingly serves as some kind of new-age feminine-primary family unit. And after all, he too is ostensibly free to exercise his sexual strategy in this arrangement. A win-win, right?
In the case where the ‘primary’ partner is the woman and the high SMV man leaves her no choice but to adopt his sexual strategy as the dominantĀ one in the relationship, that ‘open relationship’ is considered dysfunctional and socially frowned upon. He’s a cad or a philanderer at best, and an abusive self-absorbed inconsiderate monster at worst. Reverse the sexes in today’s cartoon and imagine what the feminine-primary social response might be.
Force Fitting Sexual Strategies
What we’re observing in a modern interpretation of ‘poly’ or ‘open relationships’ is a conflict between the normalization of unilateral controlĀ of sexual strategy within a monogamous relationship context. I know that sounds like a mouthful but considerā¦
The Cardinal Rule of sexual strategies:
For one genderās sexual strategy to succeed the other gender must compromise or abandon their own.
No doubt many Blue and Purple Pill readers will (in the interests of “equality”) remind us that there was a time when it was socially expected of (high socio-economic status) men to “keep” a mistress (or use prostitutes) as well as a wife, or even have many wives. All socio-economic Apex Fallacies aside, this being an outlier rather than a norm, those arrangements still put that man into a position of maintaining support for both (all) women in order to satisfy his sexual appetites as well as the relative wellbeing of them.
In the modern instance where western(ized) women are a protected class in a feminine-primary social order, the priority of sexual strategy changes hands. I cover this exchangeĀ in theĀ Adaptation series of posts, but to paraphrase, Free Love, open relationships or now, ‘poly’, has really become an increasingly acceptable methodology for women to optimize both the Alpha Fucks and Beta Bucks aspects of Hypergamy while still enjoying a semblance of the security that old order monogamy provides for women’s emotional needs.
Now lets review The Cardinal Rule of Relationships:
In any relationship, the person with the most power is the one who needs the other the least.
In an economic state where women are less financially dependent on (or autonomous from) men, the Alpha Fucks aspect of Hypergamy will take priority. That’s not to say the Beta comfort and rapport appeal becomes worthless as an emotional investment, but it’s less likely for a woman to need to prioritize that aspect while pursuing the Alpha Fucks aspect. Beta comfort and security have a value, but that value requires less urgency than pursing Alpha sexual experience (functional breeding opportunities).
Consider the poor Beta symp in the cartoon. That caricature is of a Beta conditioned man struggling with the Old Set of Books, with the old order ruleset expectations from a woman who will never recognize them because she’s never needed to. It’s his investment in her, his necessitousness, his optionlessness and his inability to see it’s the source of his frustration andĀ his anxiety. He needs her, expects more from her, than she needs him.
The lie inherent in the humor of the cartoon is that women possess the capacity to compartmentalize their emotional investments. The Medium is the Message; women can only compartmentalize their feelings for men they don’t see as Hypergamously optimal men (i.e. Alpha, higher than their own SMV men). For men who embody that optimization, women simply cannot afford to feel anything more than submission (a submission to a dominant man they innately desire) to him and are thus unable to consider anything like compartmentalizing their emotions for him.
And from Schedules of Mating:
For a female of any species to facilitate a methodology for breeding with the best genetic partner sheās able to attract AND to ensure her own and her offspringās survival with the best provisioning partner; this is an evolutionary jackpot.
‘Open’ relationships, and the social narrative reinforcement of the concept, are one such adaptation toĀ facilitate this methodology.
All of this may seem a bit pervasive coming from the guy who advises men to spin plates andĀ date non-exclusively for as long as it takes (if ever) to attain the depth of experience to become a relatively good judge of women’s innate nature, and then if he so chooses, decide how best to pair and parent with her.
The difference in this approach is characteristic of the differences in men and women’s sexual strategies. In Plate Theory, while there is an above board implication of non-exclusivity, there is never an implication that a woman is (or should be) more than a non-exclusive dating opportunity. There should never be any pretense of there being an established, invested relationship as we see in the ‘poly’ concept of women.
In fact this is the primary distinction in non-exclusivity; who’s Frame is the predominant one? In a woman’s ‘poly’ Frame there is a retainership implied in what she believes should be an accepted non-exclusivity.
Ask yourself this, why would a man persist in an āopenā relationship? What unique advantages does he get in this arrangement that he couldnāt by simply staying single, practicing Game and spinning plates?Ā Then ask yourself what unique benefits does a woman receive from the same āpolyamorousā arrangement?
When youāre contemplating this, try to divorce yourself from the emotional investments and focus on cold hard evolved Hypergamy and how it would function for either sex in that arrangement. Keep in mind that as far asĀ feminized society is concerned, and for all of the triumphalism of independent women, the onus of committed relationship responsibility still defines the worth of a man.
Beta “Manhood”
From MoodyPrism had an interesting observation about the social acceptance of cuckoldry:
I’ve seen men make the mistake of mentioning that they would never raise another man’s child on FaceBook. Shit storms ensued. The usual shaming tactics were trotted out such as manning up. Interestingly enough I’ve heard a woman (on one of those absolutely dreadful day time talk shows such as the View) say that a woman in a relationship with a man with his own kids was a fool for wasting her time on his kids instead of hers. The framework for open cuckoldry is already there, we just need to see the push that makes it completely socially acceptable.
Open Cuckoldry is already in its developmental stage in a social respect. When you consider the Sandbergian plan for Open Hypergamy, the logical implication of this is what’s described here ā prioritizing the sexual selection and Hypergamous optimization of women on a societal level while maximally restricting (via social shaming and disapproval) the sexual strategies that wouldĀ ever serve male interests,ā¦so long as that male is anything less than an optimal Alpha.
Open Cuckoldry has many euphemisms now, but in the Red Pill aware perspective it’s just a matter of time until the social plan of prioritized Hypergamy and outright cuckoldry becomes a social norm.
TuffLuv also presented me with a relatedĀ question in the last comment thread:
A little too black and white on this stuff Rollo. Sure cuckoldry, as you call it is becoming the norm.. the euphemism being āmixed familyā. But I see the majority of instances not being a chick who had the child of some alpha bad boy, or even alpha good boy.. I just see fickle chicks who dumped the baby daddy cuz she either found something better or went looking for something better. The poor dad is just an every day average guy who got his heart broken by the bitch.
So, ponder if you will, if there is a difference between a man raising another manās child(ren) where the bio father is less alpha (possibly by far) than the new suitor, and a beta man raising the child of one of the womanās former studs.. I think in the real world you find the former far more than the latter, except in cases where the married or committed woman actually went out and cheated and got pregnant with another manās child. Maybe that happens a lot but that is not *open* cuckoldry.. Thatās classic cuckoldry, and perhaps the only thing that should be called cuckoldry.
I think there should be another designation for the former case. Itās still a bit shameful, but not nearly as much as the latter, eh?
Definitely something to consider, but this situation also implies a change in conditions or context with regard to the woman doing the cuckolding. The fundamentals don’t change ā that woman may have bred with a less than optimal man, but the Hypergamous sexual selection impulse still drives her to seek out the Alpha fucks aspect of Hypergamy. She’sĀ Making Up for Missing Out and still she has the provisioning and support she needs in order to pursue the opposite side of the Hypergamous equation she missed out on courtesy of the Beta father.

One thing that I got from Rollo’s Man In Demand talk< dedicated now to Sam Botta, is that there is certainly a way for men to supply the needs of the feminine imperative, while still accomplishing the goals of a man's imperative in an inter-sexual relationship.

@ Blax Women drive the act of sex. Men take the blame/responsibility. Practically every woman I have ever bedded has actually made the decision/selection.

Actually, we men make the first decision about whom we want to approach and we might approach several women in a club or have several possibilities that we are pursuing in our networks. Certainly, women have a say in whether or not they will have… Read more »
@Yollo Comanche: “The FI is everywhere, right? My red pill lens was going off right and left on this movie.”

Guys,
Just watched this mini doc on Donald Trump: http://www.aetv.com/shows/who-is-donald-trump
Remove the political stuff, and I dunno, I think that dude acts RP as fuck, whether it’s business, women…he doesn’t give two fucks about media commentators, or being PC.
I got a lot of RP cues. Dunno, would like to know what the lads think….
@Blax – It’s well known that women choose and men compete for that choice. However, men are usually triggering that selection by their own actions. There is a consequence to the difference in sex drives between men and women as well, in the sense that it results in men adapting and behaving and evolving to win that competition much more readily than women do. This even shows up in genetics, as male genetics mutate/evolve 1/3 faster than female. It’s also a relative game.Let me try a thought experiment. Imagine you were in a setting where there were only 100 Blaximus’s?… Read more »
An interesting time at a Christmas party last night hosted by a friend of my GF. Good mix of people, especially the married women in their mid-30s. Within a few minutes of entering and being introduced to a few people met a tall HB7 wearing a short dress, cleavage showing and openly flirty. My GF saw this right away and since we were all having a good time I didn’t worry about it too much. Found out tall girl’s husband was a partner at a company I recently did a small bit of business with. Wanting to meet him I… Read more »
@Roused Way to go man. “My intent was not to deliberately piss off GF, but my behavior and how I felt after dropping off GF with no night night kiss kiss was that I had taken a dose of anti-Oneitis medicine and had pretty much ignored her shit test attitude.” I truly think that gambit will pay off for you. Way to keep Frame. I had a similar situation last night. Lose an insignificant small battle and win the war. #01 ā We are at war.

Trump is a “faux alpha” many real ways. He beds models who overtly marry him for his money and then move on with a pre-determined payoff. That’s Beta as fuck. He acts like a self-made success, but in fact, started out with a huge real estate holding he inherited. He constantly brags about his wealth and shouts about his value at the top of his lungs and this strikes me as compensating for an underlying insecurity about himself. Let’s talk about his real-estate “success”. The continuous rise in U.S. real estate prices is almost entirely due to the asset inflationary… Read more »
@Scribblerg: I think mixed bag is correct. And yes, maybe there’s over compensation….but I think what I also took was the way Larry King et al were referring to him as “just a man”, especially when they tried to make it look like him having hot chics around him was trying too hard.
Any other candidate would be loathe to even admit that they liked younger hotter women, and that it was natural to do so.
Things like this is what I caught.
I hear you though…
Please comment on this man-shaming: “Thereās the guy who seems the gentleman, who disappears after I tell him Iām not ready to have sex on the 3rd date.”

@scribblerg
Lol Trump is a ‘faux alpha?’
I love how Dan Bilzerian is your model for an ‘alpha male.’ Meanwhile Mr.Trump, who is far more successful may just be our next president, is a beta. Mind telling me how that works? I would think that being an alpha would have a lot to do with money, fame and power.
But apparently, the ONLY mark of success for you is how many sluts you can sleep with. Wow, it’s like we’re still in high school.
@ Cave, newly Also, if she freaks out and decides she wants you around, beware of her getting pregnant to keep you. Frankly, just about any dick can get her pregnant. Doesn’t have to be newly’s. Give her lots of comfort and also a strong frame. You want to keep her out of divorce court. Maybe you can talk her into doing a divorce kit. Getting a strong frame means having options. Dread. Without a strong frame, your woman WILL abuse you/frivorce rape you. But you can’t let her get ahold of incriminating evidence, including text messages and facebook stuff.… Read more »
@ KL
You got there just before me that was on my FB feed this morning absolute disgust as the mincing manboobery in the comments that followed.
@ newly since I still want to work things out, I can use something similar to the āBoyfriend Destroyerā routine, but call it the āWife Divorcing Me Destroyerā routine where I confide in her mother and her aunt and basically tell them that Iāve tried to work things out, Iāve put up with living in separate rooms for 8 years, Iāve put up with her losing her fire for me and basically abandoning me emotionally all this time, but I still want to work things out. I’ll explain how women will see this, including your wife’s relatives. tl;dr You’re a… Read more »
@Aww, Emily, aren’t you a precious little snowflake…I wonder though, do you realize what an imbecile you are? Just checking. You missed that I also said Dan Bilzerian is an asshole. But he also made it through U.S. Navy Seals BUDS training twice (got discharged because of insubordination). He also plays competitive, high stakes poker. He’s also a huge, strong man with a physique you would masturbate to. Even more to the point – you apparently didn’t even read what I wrote about Trump above, I said he was a mixed bag and showed why I thought that with some… Read more »

Took a break from hanging Christmas lights to drink a Christmas Ale and a bit of reading. Was looking for Rollo’s Iron Rules and found this instead: http://therationalmale.com/2012/01/03/the-rush/ Guy dumps his cheating girlfriend live on the radio. So fucking great to hear that play out. Props to Rollo for posting that 3 years ago, shit resonates for a loooong time. Luckily the dude that did the dumping found out she was a cheating ho before the proposal. Not sure I would call it revenge as it was justice. Revenge would have been the dude fucking his ex-GF’s sister or BFF.… Read more »
@ Pellaeon To me though, it seems like a lot of guys are in denial of just how much they want to bond emotionally with a chick. As Rollo says, men are the true Romantics. āYeah man, I just want to fuck pussy. Screw emotions and all that bullshit!ā And yetā¦theyāre actions say otherwise. For men, emotions can be a trap, so saying “Screw emotions” is in men’s best interests in sexual matters. We’re not saying that we are unemotional–men probably experience more emotional stuff than women do–but that it’s not in our best interests to focus on our emotions.… Read more »
@roused
note that most of stuff like that on the radio is scripted, due to FCC regs
with your current GF, did you two have sex before the party, or was this a sexless date?
@ IAS
I donāt have kids and the lack of respect bothers me more than the lack of sex, although that also bothers me.
Work on your frame so that you can lol when you get a lack of respect. Then backturn her. Go do something fun that you enjoy doing.

It’s encouraging when young broads give us old farts attention. The HB9 was a passenger in a truck driven the wrong way by a HB7–both were mid 20s, I’d guess. I started watching the whole clusterfuck with amusement sitting in my pickup waiting for them to clear out of the drive so that I could enter. The HB7… Read more »

That video was good shit. Rollo is dead on the article when he asks “How did it make you feel viscerally when she was weeping. Even KNOWING the situation, it’s still a gut punch to hear a girl cry like that. I didn’t feel bad for THAT girl but it immediately hit me that was powerful stuff.
@Redlight, Sexless and we both knew it probably would be going into it. We both had things to do with our kids before. Afterwards a bj might have happened in the car had I been Gamed her. When we left my mindset was to be done with her for the night, sex with her wasn’t on my mind. Ignored her all day today, she just texted asking what her daddy was doing and how my day went. Will wait a bit to reply. Yes about radio scripting, but I doubt the story was made up. I’ve worked closely with several… Read more »
@Roused
Just curious about the dynamics at play here. Is your girlfriend similar age/hotness to the tall chick?
GF is 39, Tall was 36 and had a good 6″ more in height than GF. GF is cuter and has much more sex appeal all around. Tall one had legs that never ended. I’ve openly stated to her many times I prefer short skirts/dresses and tall women. I’m 6’3.” She knows I will enjoy the view if there is something to look at in a skirt. In this case my interaction was much more than just looking.
And then there is this, a fight between Anthony Cumia (of Opie and Anthony, idiocy i don’t listen to) and his girlfriend – she periscopes it. I don’t know what to think she doesn’t really seem that scared to me…

@scribbler First, can you stop using the term solipsism incorrectly? Rene Descartes is rolling in his grave. It’s just that.. I find it odd that terpers don’t really respect wealth and status as much as how many sluts you have in your harem. True, if we are talking about men who improved themselves from the ground up to be ‘alphas’ then Mr.Trump isn’t the best example, but neither is Dan Bilzerian. His father also gave him a lot of money. He gambled with it and made a lot more. Great, he got lucky, and now he’s rich and is putting… Read more »

@ Blax Thanks, buddy. Lots of good stuff in your comment. I’ve interacted with a few HB9s. All were very nice to me. I even banged one of them. HB6s are often nice at first, then shitty to me later since I’m not too interested in them. HB7s can go either way. HB8s are usually nice to me. One HB10 was very nice to me and complimentary. She was looking for marriage, but didn’t realize that I was married. HB10 was out with her church friends as wings. I wasn’t looking for more than dancing with her, barring a brief… Read more »
@Redlight and @Klem – thanks guys. Similar points I think. Redlight – why didn’t I escalate? You’re right I think – just a form of ego protection. I didn’t have to eject the conversation when I did – I could have stayed in a bit longer even at the beginning and easily isolated the 7.5 (the 7 had already left, so it was just my wing and I with the 7.5) and tried for the number close after a few more mins of comfort, even though it was early.

Honestly, if I had to guess you might have a glimmer of hope there. She might be rationalizing that she’s staying for the kids but actually still want you to step up. I have a hard time believing a woman would stay “for the kids” these days. Hard to say for sure though.
Culum, Thanks for the observations. You 100% correct about a plan and focus. Here is what I jotted down after I read your challenge: Goals: – Learn to maintain Frame, but at the same time know when to evoke feelz. – Learn to get better at passing shit tests. – Become better at soft dread. – Create options…maybe pursue a plate or two if opportunity arises.

@ newly Even if you’re not listening, this may help other men. If a woman has turned nasty on you–even showing contempt–you can still turn this around if you have some ethical reason for not moving on. First, train her like a dog, decreasing attention when she misbehaves and increasing it when she behaves properly. This will build up your frame (for you) and status (for her). Do not get angry. Rather, let yourself be bored with her bad behavior or better yet, slightly amused like she is your bratty kid sister who barely gets any attention from you. Second,… Read more »
