While I’d had another post on deck for today I simply couldn’t let Divided Line’s most recent comment go unanswered. I was going to riff on his comment in that thread, but it occurred to me that his concerns would be educational for many new readers and what I tell him here might give even my regulars something new to think about.
This is the part I can’t get. I can look back and see how my beta behaviors made it impossible for my ex to respect and love me. I see those behaviors for what they are, but what I can’t do is internalize a competing value system, or a competing idealism, one which would allow me to judge myself in the way you’re judging yourself here. I still get stuck on “but she *should* have loved me for those behaviors,” even if I understand on an intellectual level why she didn’t. Even if I game myself into believing I feel differently about it, I know that on some level, I’m still going to be hoping that every girl I get involved with will prove to be capable of fulfilling that blue pill idealism. I fully expect to just fall back into oneitis and needy supplicating behaviors whenever I meet somebody. they just creep up on you without you even realizing it.
When I go into the intricacies of men’s innate sense of idealism this is what I mean. In a Blue Pill context there will always be an expectation of some possibility of an ideal state with a woman. The problem here isn’t men’s idealism, but rather the conditioning of it to expect an idealized Blue Pill outcome.
From a strictly deductive standpoint DL’s ex should have loved him for the idealized, pro-social, pro-family, pro-parental investment, pro-providership and pro-egalitarian that were some of the most integral parts of his life’s Blue Pill conditioning.
The reality is that he’d been convinced of a Blue Pill social order founded on an Old Set of Books.
Let’s get real about it. It’s not like women have good reason to behave the way they do. Whatever evo-psych explanation we can come with, it doesn’t provide them with an excuse. They’re not stewards of the gene pool, there is no greater good that is served by hypergamy. In a modern context it’s a liability, not an asset. At the limbic level they’re screening for traits that would have been advantageous 20,000 years ago, not in a modern industrial or post industrial society. Should I try to convince myself otherwise and judge myself according to my evolutionary fitness or something? It seems absurd.
When I wrote Our Sisters’ Keeper I delved into the question of whether it could be expected of women to take responsibility for their own decisions, moral or otherwise. It generally comes down to a question of the seeming determinism that Hypergamy represents, and the deductive male-logic that, idealistically, expects women to take personal responsibility for the consequences of their actions.
In this respect Hypergamy doesn’t provide women with an excuse for the consequences, but the question of personal responsibility still doesn’t change the the underlying motivators, incentives and influences that Hypergamy exerts over women. The devil biology made me do it is the same alibi for Hypergamy as it is for men’s Selfish Gene.
While the software may change with the environment, our firmware and our hardware are still very much based in the evolution that benefitted our prehistoric predecessors. What measure you personally choose to judge yourself by is up to you, but again, the hardware and the firmware doesn’t change.
Under our modern social environment women have an unprecedented, virtually unilateral, stewardship of the gene pool. So much so in fact that women’s sexual selection strategy, Hypergamy and feminine social primacy are enforced by law and ensaturated into our social fabric. Whether this is for ‘the greater good’ or not all depends on who’s agenda defines what ‘good’ is.
For a very long time men had at least some measure of being able to direct the course that the gene pool was going. Men’s influence today is only as potent as women’s legislated sexual selection will allow them.
Women aren’t dogs, they’re human beings. They’re perfectly capable of self awareness and of awareness of others. In theory they’re perfectly capable of higher order idealism – anybody who can think at an abstract level should be. Women are unaware of themselves because the bar is so low for them, because they are profoundly privileged and everything is handed to them on a silver platter, not because they’re incapable of treating men in a way that would have made the blue pill equality ideal possible.
It really just boils down to a profound form of inferiority, their unwillingness to empathize or give a shit. They don’t care because they don’t have to. It’s a fundamental hollowness at the core of their character.
You’re presuming an egalitarian inspired similarity between men and women, and once again I’ll refer you to what I proposed above; you’re expecting software to override firmware and hardware. There are simply evidential and provable physical and cognitive differences between men and women.
I believe you’re correct – women are perfectly capable of self awareness and of awareness of others. In theory they’re perfectly capable of higher order idealism – however, this is not women’s firmware directive. It is not their initial mental point of origin.
True, women can learn to be empathetic, learn to be idealistic, and yes, learn to sublimate their innate solipsism, but their capacity to learn to override their firmware doesn’t erase the root conditions they must learn and practice to override.
And yes, we’ve reached a (western) social order that prioritizes and privileges women by setting the bar very low for them, thus making this ‘learning’, or even the desire to learn, to override their neural firmware not just a challenge, but entirely unexpected of them.
The capacity fro women to realize that Blue Pill ideal is there, but what this does is pit women’s innate dispositions against what men think would be an ideal state for both sexes, and then holds women personally responsible for not ‘learning’ to override their firmware.
Dalrock has a series of posts about feminism that blames men for the failures of feminism. Feminism would work if not for uncooperative men; the same is true for Blue Pill men – Blue Pill idealism would work if not for uncooperative women. Both blame the failures of their goal-states on the other sex’s personal / social character flaws without consideration of the hindbrain, firmware that always rebels against those states.
How do you just accept that and blame yourself for being beta? I’m not saying you shouldn’t, I’m saying I want to be able to do the same thing. I just can’t access that mindset.
What was so terrible about the blue pill equalism really? We all regard it with contempt, but we’re just being pragmatic, since it’s unworkable, a cruel lie we were all fed from birth. I get all that. But in and of itself, what was so terrible about it? Had it been possible – which it is not – would the idea been worthy of such contempt? I can’t convince myself of that.
Again, men’s idealistic root note wants some kind of cooperative Blue Pill harmony to exist in a mutually shared, mutually negotiated and mutually agreed upon state between men and women. Yes, Blue Pill equalism seems very pragmatic, that’s what makes subscribing to it so seductive, and potentially so damaging for idealistic men. The Feminine Imperative figured that out a hundred thousand years ago – men are the True Romantics, and that’s been their thumbscrew for millennia.
All I did was treat my ex the way I wanted to be treated. In fact, that’s all I did in any of my relationships. And not even because I was trying to be Ghandi or live according to some conscious code, but simply because that is what came naturally. That’s what made the relationship appealing and worth investing in in the first place. Feeling that way about her cultivated a selfless aspect of myself, one that I actually *like.* I miss feeling that way. I loved her because she inspired me to treat her the way I did, or to want to treat her that way. I can look back on it and see it as beta, and if I regard women like robots running an evo-psych script, I can see that it would have been impossible for her to love and respect me, I guess. So is that what it boils down to? Thinking about women as if they are children or dumb dogs and accepting it?
There is great power in the Golden Rule. I don’t mean that from the sentimentalist, “do unto others” perspective, but rather how available you make yourself to exploitation and manipulation when adopting that mindset. There is no position more vulnerable than an expectation of equal treatment from another for like treatment from yourself. It presumes a mutually shared acknowledgement of how that other would perceive treating you as they would themselves.
The fundamental differences between men and women (idealistic vs. opportunistic love concepts) virtually ensure that a conflict will occur when you pair this expectation of equal treatment and equal appreciation with the cardinal rule of sexual strategies:
The Cardinal Rule of sexual strategies:
For one gender’s sexual strategy to succeed the other gender must compromise or abandon their own.
Men’s predilection for idealism make them the logical candidates for this compromise or abandonment of their own imperatives, however, in doing so they fall prey to self-sacrifice in the hopes of mutual appreciation, earning relational equity and all while idealistically affirming for themselves their own righteousness of that sacrifice. The more you suffer the more it shows you really care, right?
The problem then becomes one of women fundamentally lacking the capacity to appreciate the sacrifices a man must make to facilitate her own reality.
And thus we come back to the software vs. firmware conflict again.
This is what I mean when I say that women are “awful.” I don’t even have words for it. I don’t understand how I’m supposed to get past the contempt or sense of being wronged. You can tell yourself “stop being beta, bro. Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better, etc.,” or anything you like, it doesn’t change the reality or the fact that I recognize the reality. It’s like trying to convince yourself that 2+2=5.
My idealism was co-opted to serve the FI, but what is competing idealism? Stoicism and being a badass who can take it? Beating myself up for being beta and striving for what? It’s like I’m supposed to improve myself, but I can’t see anything that I would actually regard as an improvement, just traits that would appeal to women’s hunter gatherer libido.
The first step is giving up hope on the Blue Pill ideals you’ve been conditioned to believe are desirable, much less achievable. You need to accept that Blue Pill idealism will never be achieved in a Red Pill paradigm.
The next step is to accept that you can create new hope and a new ideal founded on Red Pill awareness rather than succumbing to a nihilistic despair that’s based on the hope for Blue Pill falsehoods.
Men’s idealistic nature can either be his greatest vulnerability or the source of his greatest strength and drive. It’s the context and conditioning of that idealism that makes it a danger or a boon. Stoicism is a practical measuring of that idealism based on self-knowledge and a truthful understanding of the state in which a man lives (Red Pill awareness).
Why are we so much more idealistic and imaginative in our youth? Because we have very little life experience with which to measure that idealism against. This is exactly why the Feminine Imperative must condition men from an early age – to direct that idealism to its own Blue Pill ends before a man learns enough about his reality to reject the imperatives’ ends in favor of his own.
And that is why undiluted, uncompromised Red Pill awareness being widely available is a threat to the Feminine Imperative.
Why I don’t hate women – because weak men allowed this to happen The DIVIDED LINE comment that Rollo responded to.

“Roosh should call his stuff “Reactionary Red Pill” . . .” Pointing that out, or that he should just plain call it “traditionalism,” is why Roosh has accused the Manosphere of being the ones who turned on him. Oddly enough, the fact that it is reactionary is why Vox Day has supported him, and Roosh accepts that support. The problem, from Roosh’s point of view, is that “reactionary” and “traditionalism” are both already established “brands.” That doesn’t help him at all.

@ Rollo Tomassi
“I can show you post on SoSuave from 2003 where we were using “Red Pill” as an idiom then. Roosh neither coined nor invented the term.”
Even if he did, I don’t really see how that would help someone’s case for having ownership of the Red Pill or being the arbiter of what the Red Pill is and isn’t, because philosophy is about truth, and no one has ownership of truth. Truth isn’t based on what a certain person says it is. It just is what it is.
@Fred Flange, Kylo Ren and Stimpy I hear you re the role of culture and its impact on young men. And there are still masculine kids coming through the ranks, but nothing on par with the 1930s for example. Declining testosterone levels are also at odds with the surplus of Alphas that should be walking around after a couple of decades of almost unrestrained hypergamy. Where I live I can see hypergamy in motion for myself – the number of single moms knocked up after short affairs with jerks is staggering.

Scribblerg, some interesting points there. First, I should say I’m 36 so my perspective on this is from dealing with 18-19 year olds. That said, I see your point. I don’t like to think of it in terms of what a young girl “expects” because that is falling into HER frame. But yes, a girl who likes a 40-55 year old doesn’t like him because she likes 6 packs (she gets much better ones from 22 year old guys) but because she likes his confidence and frame and experience. I don’t want to get metaphysical on this distinction – we… Read more »
@Ang & KFG – I agree that in part it’s the fault of men that women have run amok. But I also think this is where people overplay the role of the FI in a sense. The radical egalitarianism and collectivism and materialism (in Hegelian/Marxist sense of the word) of 19th century political and moral philosophy, which destroyed classical liberalism, created such a fertile ground for the FI to run amok and for cultural nihilism that I don’t think seeing culture without these factors is a complete analysis.

Is a false choice. Blue Pill idealism (making women our reason to live) or nihilism? This implies that the only idealism possible is having a Blue Pill marriage. As Red Pill guys, we know the story. When a man discovers that he cannot have a Disneyesque marriage (because of the FI), he loses the reason to live, the will to live. He feels void and despairs. Been there, done that. But historically this is an anomaly. Men didn’t put their reason to live in a woman. They made God, nation, being a patriarch or having a mission the goal of… Read more »
I respectfully would add step 3: learning that Blue Pill existence is anything but ideal. It is, in fact, a state of wretched slavery in which a man sacrifices his deepest biological desires, his dreams, his independence, his friends, and his lust for adventure in order to satisfy his woman’s deepest biological desires. It sets him on the treadmill of endless, mindless, purposeless work, stress, and unfulfilled longings.

scribblerg, I’m sure that women attending the event will have more than one emotional pop, maybe a spike or two, perhaps from a Tarot or Rune reading, perhaps from a make-up session followed by a glamour photo.

In other words, women will be women, rather than be men. It’s a feature. Maybe you should go, just in a mode of self-amusement. “Oh, Tarot and Rune reading? What nonsense. Everyone knows… Read more »

“I haven’t got to that part of SHIFT yet, but I will.”
I actually don’t have the patience for the videos (nor the need for single guy game) and somehow I came across that in a PDF notes file attached to “Making a SHIFT”. I recognized in reading it, in retrospect, what I had done to have these mentors/great guy-friends. And you can see the obvious parallels to pick up artistry.
Note: PUA game is fungible for all relationships and all pursuits in life as well as for my LTR married man game. And it is invaluable.

@Camaro,
Cosign with scribbler’s comment. Your wife either has an IQ of 30, or she’s a psychopath. Women who know men intimately know how to push their buttons and know what will provoke them to physical action. The fact that she encouraged you to meet up with her ex, when she knows the temperament of both of you, tells me that she was probably screwing with both of you and either wanted to see a physical confrontation between you two, or expected it might happen and did not care.
Protect yourself now.

“because girls don’t actually care if you OWN the nightclub, they care that you have the same subcomms as the guy who DOES, because that implies you have high-value.” the guy who “owns” the club doesn’t even own it. odds are he borrowed money from a bank to get the lease and build it out. he borrowed money from the bank to meet early payroll and the liquor is delievered with 30 day terms. the guy who gave him the lease borrowed money from the bank to buy the land and put up the building and the guy who delivered… Read more »
” …race realism ”
Okay, tell me about myself using all of your brilliant observations.
@Camaro: When I first went to a divorce lawyer she told me, “Normally I would advise clients to stay in the house for legal reasons, but in your case we need to get you out of the house now and worry about the legalities afterwards.” The second biggest mistake I made in my life was waiting two years to take her advice. But at least she was primed and waiting to deal with my situation when I finally did. Get legal council now and get prepared while your wife is playing good girl, so that you can jump with 60… Read more »
” “ownership” is fake.”
Molon labe.
The first time she struck me I just sat there dazed like wtf just happened. We talked about 3 hours and she promised never to do it again. Well it happened again about a month later, then again about two weeks after that. On the last occurrence I called the police and while she was laughing about the whole thing like It was a joke they showed up, she admitted to striking me,and she was hauled off to jail. The first person she called in jail was her ex, he didn’t answer so she had her best friend bail her… Read more »
And an off-topic observation concerning the dominance of the female imperative. If hypergamy is winning, and women are out there riding the alpha cock carousel and generously rewarding the Alphas, bad boys, douchebags and jerks with pussy time – why is the first generation of males birthed by these women the biggest bunch of pussies in human history? You can blame the feminized culture to some extent, and the comfort and ease provided by the West, but even physiologically there is a noticeable increase of scrawny, slack-shouldered, oval faced kids. That noticeable increase probably took place in your vicinity, and… Read more »

@Camaro: “Is that oneitis?”
Yes, and perhaps even worse. I’d like to tell you to snap out of it, but I know you can’t. What you can do is do what you should no matter how much you don’t want to. Yes, it will be very, very hard, but it is possible.
And believe it or not, you don’t need easy, you only need possible.

You waded into a deep hole of shit there.
On the wrong blog, with the wrong topic, among the wrong group of men.
Stop. Put the shovel down. And stop digging.

@SJF Man, I don’t talk race stuff normally. I make it a mission not to. 90% of the time when confronted by some measure of fuckery, I keep it moving. Then there’s the 10% that I don’t. I used to go to Roosh’s and CH’s blogs because there was some good stuff there.

They talk more stupid shit than I thought was humanly possible by… Read more »
@Camaro et al – Remember he said she’s an HB8.5. I know what it’s like to have a hot wife and to walk away from that isn’t easy. Especially when she’s begging you to stay, blowing you and fucking your brains out and putting on lingerie etc. My ex did the most amazing 180 once I put my foot down on her awful treatment of me – but she did not hit me. That is a red line for me, due to the abuse I suffered as a child. A few questions: – Is the hottest women you’ve ever fucked?… Read more »
The more I read Camaro the more obvious it becomes that he’s dealing with an abusive BPD. Read this, save your life: http://therationalmale.com/2012/01/20/borderline-personality-disorder/ True BPDs progressively convince their victims that they are the source of her neurosis. You are not yourself, you are who she’s molding you to be, and eventually you’ll come to believe that it’s in your best interest – indeed, your responsibility – to be who she wants you to be to sustain that neurosis. You will gradually give up on your family and friends (or they give up on you), you will drop all ambitions and… Read more »
I’ve read every link each one of you have shared with me. Thank you. I’ve had 31 partners in my 30 yrs on earth. My current wife really is the most attractive I’ve ever been with, she’s also educated and is about to enter med school to be a pa, though she keeps putting it off for different excuses. She’s crazy in bed and initiates sex constantly. I would rate my wife an honest 8.5-9. The next hottest girl ive been with was probably a 8 and she was very crazy, a liar and cheater, crazy outbursts and such, but… Read more »
@Blaximus My argument is that the American broad who got clipped in Italy has exposed herself to increased danger by getting involved with an African migrant. She increased her chances of getting raped / killed / infected (both by venereal diseases and other types), because migrants from Africa and the Middle East are statistically more likely to commit such acts than the Italian men who lived around her. Simple as that. If you really dig diversity and know many Senegalese men, supposedly all of whom are in good health, that’s great. But none of that is a reason for me… Read more »
@ Camaro,
Since you are new here and have read all the links thrown your way, and based on what you just said, this link is indispensable:

Unless you feel that real power is possible in this relationship (and even then that might be an illusion), you know what you need to do.
Yes she is the hottest I’ve ever got and yes the fear of never getting another as hot as her is a fear. I thought I was a lucky guy until I started having anxiety attacks due to months of hellish stress and lack of sleep. Now I’m just drained and she’s trying to make me feel guilty about giving up on our marriage. I gotta get the divorce papers tomorrow, I’ll schedule a free class to fill them out. I’m going to appear strong through this to her, but inside I’m a wreck. I’ve read the bpd link Rollo… Read more »
@Hoellenhundz2 I don’t get the impression that anything is taboo here. I engaged in some of the MGTOW talk because it was interesting conversation. I didn’t take anything as ” shitting ” on anyone, but there were/are strong disagreements, and that led to men hashing it out. Am I wrong? Was the discussion too harsh in some fashion? As for Race Realism… well, you can imagine that I have strong opinions there. I wouldn’t ever have the subject banned or otherwise negated, but from my viewpoint, I personally get tired of the subject popping up consistently in my every day… Read more »
At hoellen-scheisse-hound, It is well understood that there are no taboo subjects here. But imagine you were at a Thanksgiving table (but….maybe you don’t know what that is like…… It is pretty powerful stuff….), or a dinner party anywhere, where there was a group sitting at the table that had their “family way” of thinking and behaving and being respectful of the group. And you proceeded to be a dick to all of them. You really want to continue the conversation that nobody else wants to have? Rollo is well spoken on diversity in his professional dealings during his career.… Read more »
Reminds me a bit of the confusion/despair of the original Existentialists.
@Hollen – You argue like a 10 yr old girl. MGTOWs are welcome here. If they start yapping about how we are all pussy beggars and controlled by women, I tell them to go fuck themselves. Race realism is horseshit and basically a whitewashing of ignorance, hate and bigotry which has no place in a civil setting. Period. Dot. End of sentence. Why? Three reasons primarily: 1. Any serious study of race and how humans vary by race shows there is more variation within races than between races. On every count – IQ included. This alone makes the idea that… Read more »
Fair enough. This is my last comment as well on this topic. I’m no redneck, but I’m a race realist, and will always be one.

Ps,
Ignorant Roosh thinks his last name is : Hatfields, and his Mother’s name is : Fatima Mccoy.
My favorite anti-racism thought is that, in reality, I have more perspective in common with black men, than I do with white women. A black man has the same burden of performance I do, the same biological needs I do. No woman knows these things.
In reality, I should feel far more kinship talking with men of any race, than with women of any kind.
Current western society needs conflict within the masses to keep most people distracted from what the political class is doing.
@ Jeremy-
Cosign 100%
If we could just figure out away for a woman to wake up in the morning and scratch her balls i think this would solve a lot of problems.
“Current western society needs conflict within the masses to keep most people distracted from what the political class is doing.” Pareto Principle. 80% of people are the masses. Only 20% of people can deal with diversity. For the top 20% it is No Big Deal to have diversity and inclusion as is the nature of The United States of America and the melting pot as described by Scribbler above. The bottom 80% of dumb-shits ruin the narrative. I frankly grew up in a non-diverse community forever and when I hit the diverse population in a certain segment of my life… Read more »
@camaro: best of luck. I met a bpd/npd chick last spring. I quickly determined she was nuts. NEXT. This from a guy who had no decent role models.except.a grandfather 4k km away!

“If we could just figure out away for a woman to wake up in the morning and scratch her balls i think this would solve a lot of problems.” Nein. The masculine is what it is the is the feminine is what it is. Embrace Polarity and seek equilibrium, not equalism, and the complementary nature will function just fine. You do not want women to be logical and equal to men. There are not problems that are not understandable in red pill awareness, only solutions. Solutions with Game. Lower your hurdles by your mindset. Stoicism solves the high hurdle frustration.… Read more »
The problem with “diversity” is that what is shoved down people’s throats, the notion that “diversity” is some form of strength.. well, that’s a lie. There is no historical record of a culturally diverse body of people surviving together long-term. Culture, shared values, these are what binds people together and creates trust between strangers. You can’t have a strong society without trust between strangers. Racial diversity is not the problem, should never be the problem. The problem is that every person who will preach about diversity to you will also try to convince you that any standardized or primary “culture”… Read more »

A twitter account I happened to stumble upon: https://twitter.com/DaddyCammyBo This guy’s methods are simple.

Tell them to send you nudes holding up your name in the picture. Tell them to send you money. I’d estimate 1 out of 100 actually do. Then you hope some… Read more »
BPD chicks are not actually a bad thing for most men. The problem as Heartiste explains is that the relationship is best exited as your ball sack runs dry. Which is generally for most guys at nine months. Your mileage may vary. (…..depends on your red pill ball-sack qualitative dimensions….. Blue pill and all bets are off). A guy has to know his limitations. Four years is generally too long, but I thank my lucky stars that it spurred Rollo to new heights over his next twenty years. Rollo could have never been so great without having had that fucked… Read more »

@Camaro Your story is fucking awful to hear about. Holy shit you’ve gotten yourself into a bad situation. You obviously know you need to make a break….but it ain’t easy is it? Hardest part is probably the thought of losing the hot sex. The others, especially Rollo and Scribbler were exactly right. Go back and read again what they wrote. Most likely all the guys that wrote comments to you have some experience with what you’re going through.

sorry, not Red pill but “Positive masculinity”
Positive masculinity:
Spin plates – enjoy realtive freedom for a time (red pill)…AND then marry, and perform for the wife so that SHE is satisfied and gives you sex once in a month. You must perform, be confident and apply dread game, plus milion things from the list, otherwise you can loose your very wife and you loose the privilege to fuck SINGLE aging woman for the rest of your life (Blue pill to the fucking core!)
@Camaro Take this from a healthcare professional too. BPD (borderline personality disorder) which is what it sounds like you are dealing with, will take you down a path of self hate if you happen to allow her frame to win over, and it looks like you are well down that path. You are to expect more physical and psychological abuse from her as her primary objective is your attention. No matter how much you give, no matter how good you are, she will never be happy. And when you do try to get rid of her expect the attention seeking… Read more »

When he is demonstrating eye contact he has an assistant which blinks, and often takes a few seconds with the eyelids down when blinking. What does this mean? It… Read more »
@Niko – re: Your vid. A couple of points: What you struggle to describe about how feminism is inculcated in schools and society is much better and more completely described via Rollo’s concept of the “Feminine Inmperative”. Your comment on male ingroup preferences flies in the face of the known science. In fact men display very little ingroup preference, especially when compared to that of women. Some googling will reveal this. Particularly funny was the NPR treatment of the grounbreaking study which revealed it – female ingroup preferences were okay as they were a reaction to oppression. Neglected were the… Read more »
“Quite frankly, I find this offensive.” Well, I keep forgetting Pareto Principle. Good for 20% of the guys that know to get out before their ball sack runs dry (gen. 9 to 12 months). You know, the hot sex and Antifragility of it all. Sure it sucks when a man is with one. But did you ever play golf in a 3 club difference, rainy, cold headwind? It sucks. But the next day in sunny peacefully calm weather, the round of golf is pretty sweet by comparison. That happened to me once and on the sunny calm day, I shot… Read more »
“Sure it sucks when a man is with one. But did you ever play golf in a 3 club difference, rainy, cold headwind?”
Keep digging.
I rest my case on the “Like” button. You see how, in a masculine pissing match (Like Andy’s mirroring effect-heh, Law #44) it would serve no purpose? A like button without a dislike button would feminize the situation instead of letting the men play out their cards in discussion. I’ve seen it happen on forums before.
@Andy I don’t disagree. I mean, I don’t feel offended; I don’t think SJF is not very susceptible to the to the sort of emotional lifewreck a BPD can pull on some men, so from his perspective it’s just ‘well whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ A BPD woman is a very real and present danger for certain men. They are parasites who will cause a man to suck the life out of himself for her. She is a master manipulator of male emotions – using every mechanism in the male brain available to keep his focus and priority… Read more »

@Scribblerg: I’m pretty sure most men also have strong ingroup preferences. Politics was rife with it before women were allowed in and you and Blaximus were just discussing how a bunch of men are racist in CH’s comment section.

I’m inclined to believe women have even more ingroup preference though, but if that was your point it wasn’t clear to me.… Read more »
