Novaseeker had an excellent breakdown of how Hypergamy has developed and is radically altering a long established social order in favor of one centered on the female sexual strategy. This was timely for a post I was working on, so rather than allow it to be buried in the last thread I thought I’d riff on it a bit here:
So in my head, I tried to think of what the best response to hidden estrus would be from a male perspective, and the only thing I could think of was essentially hiding male horniness, I used the word stoicism. The only way to balance the effects of hidden estrus is for all men to simply appear to not want what a women are offering, to appear uninvested, uninterested, etc.., because this again gives the perception of a lack of abundance to the women and re-balances things. Eventually such behavior would become selected for to some degree, and male emotions would become less prominent.
I agree with what you are saying, although I think it’s important to bear in mind that the expression of female sexuality historically was quite restricted, once we were at a level of more complex social organization beyond the rather small. Things did vary by community and culture somewhat, but once things reached that level of social advance, in most places a woman’s family/kin had a huge control over the expression of her sexuality, with the parents (largely the father) and to a lesser extent her male brothers exerting substantial restrictive pressure on the expression of her sexuality.
I should note here that while there is a definite social structure built around various strategies of mate guarding, these social mores and familial repression of women’s Hypergamous impulses does, in fact, stem from evolved, behavioral adaptations.
Kin Affiliation Across the Ovulatory Cycle : Females Avoid Fathers When Fertile Consider that girls will make subconscious efforts to avoid their fathers during the proliferative phase of their ovulatory cycle. Also, consider girls enter puberty at an earlier age when their fathers are not present in the family. Both of these are examples of phenomena that have a physical manifestation and a latent evolutionary purpose, but socially we build moral/social frameworks around buffering for (or sometimes accommodating) them.
Likewise, there are social controls that span all cultures that have the same purpose of buffering against the predations and mechanics of women’s Hypergamous natures. The most stringent of these might be repressing of women’s sexuality, but the latent purpose is still the same; controlling for paternity assurances.
There was, of course, cheating of the system that took place in terms of women bucking the system covertly, but most women were not sexual free agents in most places most of the time historically, and so were not acting on their estrus, concealed or otherwise at these later points in history. It does seem like something which likely occurred prior to the time we developed significant social organization (which is unclear when it precisely happened, but likely happened gradually quite some time before the development of large-scale agriculture), and is inherited from that earlier time, while the later social structures mostly, or at least in many cases, served to rather severely hem in the expression of female sexuality and free sexual choice to a large degree.
The Feminine Imperative that exists today still uses these historically extreme controls as a baseline for provoking an emotional response among women (and feminized men) today. In spite of the realities of Open Hypergamy and Open Cuckoldry, and paired with the fact that we live in the most sexually permissive society the world has largely known to this point, there is still a necessity to sell a narrative of sexual repression in order to perpetuate a social condition of ‘victimization’ among women and thus perpetuate a status of concern and primary importance.
So I guess my perspective is not that what you are suggesting is incorrect, in terms of the deeper evolutionary inheritance, but that the response of men to this eventually evolved, socially, into the use of social/legal/moral structures that acted as a counterweight to the inter-sexual issues raised by concealed estrus, and that, being social animals, this was itself also a powerfully selected thing (tribes that did not adopt similar restrictive measures did not generally survive except in relatively isolated areas where they were not exposed to the same degree of competition with patriarchal tribes and their sexually restrictive cultures). I suspect it dawned on the males in some tribal groups that the gains to be had from a kind of system of “one girl for (almost) every guy (who isn’t killed in war, or banished or enslaved)” when it came to women, in terms of reducing sex-related conflict among men, became more important when the scale/size of social organization grew beyond the small and moved to a larger, more complex scale, where different structures were needed to ensure cooperation and alleviate conflict which could undermine that cooperation and the scale made possible by it. So in other words, the strategy that men adopted had to do with the needs of the social order and the need for greater cooperation and less conflict once the scale grew to the point where close kinship among the males could no longer feasibly serve as a conflict-reducer effectively.
This was done, of course, at the direct expense of the female sexual strategy, and females have been scratching and clawing against that result in various ways ever since that time, but really have only recently had the success of overturning pretty much all aspects of that restrictive system (while retaining selective elements of it in form, mostly, as it serves their own interests) with the collaboration of most men, by the way, in the process (for various reasons, many of which Rollo has detailed in various posts on this blog). The resulting system is therefore new, and requires men to adapt, which is what we are about doing here, of course. The idea is to have a system which is of a large scale and complexity, socially, and which requires high levels of cooperation in order to function, while at the same time removing the last vestiges of of the “one girl for (almost) every guy” sexual system and replacing it with the freest, most open and adversarial system of sexual competition among males that our species has likely seen since long before the time we evolved into socially-based human groups.
I’ve covered most of the male adaptiveness that Nova mentions here in the Adaptation series of posts. For the short version, however, it’s important to note that even the sexual restrictiveness of women in prior eras were themselves adaptations meant to buffer against women’s conflicting sexual strategy. As I stated in the Cardinal Rule of Sexual Strategies, for one sex’s strategy to succeed the other must either be compromised or abandoned. Prior sexual restrictiveness was a repression meant to force women to abandon and later (in monogamy) compromise their own Hypergamy (Alpha Fucks/Beta Bucks).
It remains to be seen how feasible this is, longer term, because it is still so new. And the adaptation required by men is substantial, because the change is gargantuan from anything we have experienced in thousands upon thousands of years, in terms of sexual system and related mores. I think relatively few will adapt, and the majority of men will fail at the system, in terms of actually getting what they want. I don’t mean most guys will be incel all their lives, but that their relationships with women will be extremely skewed to the women’s terms, through a combination of outright duping, indoctrination into wishful thinking, and a steady move towards ever more libertine sexual morality for women as a part of the further expression of the Feminine Imperative.
And that comes back to the concealed estrus issue, because the social solution that men in certain groups came up with a long, long time ago (substantial restrictions on female sexual expression) is now pretty much completely removed in this culture, meaning that it is playing a bigger role in human inter-sexual relations than it has been permitted to play in a long time. In fact, the development of reproductive technologies and the related legal regime supporting their free use has augmented the ability of women to utilize this aspect of themselves to tilt the field in their favor, well beyond what nature provided them, in terms of controlling who among the men gets to breed. Again, most men will not be able to adapt quickly enough and will be in lopsided relationships as a result. Other men, like us, are able to adapt and thrive under the new system as individuals, knowing full well we can’t really overthrow something like the sea change in sexual system that we have seen occur, even if we thought that was wise, which it may very well not be. Every man, once he comes to this realization, therefore has a choice to make, really, and a fairly stark one. Most guys have no chance, however, because they are totally subsumed by the feminine primary and never come to a realization of things as they are, and just what the heck happened in the culture, sexually, over the last 100 years or so.
Although my last post may have been on the melodramatic side, the exaggeration is still founded on the same dynamic Nova is getting at here. Since the time of the sexual revolution there has been a complete social abdication on the part of men to have any say in exercising, much less advocating for, prioritizing their own interests in the sexual strategies equation.
It’s gotten to the point that even men’s initiating an approach at the most marginal form of intimacy runs the risk of not just rejection, but legal and social punishments for even taking it upon himself. The onus of sexual selection, as per every legal mandate, is unilaterally placed upon the part of women. The latent purpose of this is to prioritize women’s sexuality and women’s sexual strategy (Hypergamy) above men’s – all while clinging to the pretense of the sexual repressions that they believe still characterize the condition of women.
If you ever wonder at the declining marriage rates, the delaying of marriage until well past women’s prime fertility years, male suicide rates being four times that of women or the rise of men who’ve contented themselves in being single for their lives look no further than this reprioritization of women’s Hypergamy as the socially predominant sexual strategy.
[…]
I would say that attempts at overt male control of covert female sexuality oftentimes amount to window dressing that only serve to help convince the men of their paternity, even when they’ve no reason to be assured of it. Only in cultures like those established by strict Islamic doctrine/Sharia Law can paternity be (mostly) assured by social forces. Outside of that, women can oftentimes have free reign at getting away with good old-fashioned cuckoldry.
In a social order founded on Hypergamy, that dynamic demands that men’s utterly abdicate their sexual and biological imperatives to women. This means any paternity assurances, or even the idea that they should matter to a man, must be surrendered to the point that they are literally conditioned and bred out of the consciousnesses of men.
I’m hitting upon this in the hopes of prompting some discussion about the aspects of Hypergamy Novaseeker mentions here, but also because I will be discussing much of this with Alan Roger Currie this coming Thursday night on his podcast.
We’ll be talking at 10pm EST/7pm PST and this will be a live call-in format, so if you’d like to participate I’d encourage you to do so. While my appearance is not necessarily an endorsement of Mode One or anything else Currie is selling, I respect him as a thoughtful interviewer and he’s been asking me to appear for some time now.

Men tend to choose more violent, therefore effective ways to do it.
Women tend to do things like take pills, then get found and taken to hospital.

I still can’t understand why you’re giving her validation by engaging her. She’s a troll. Much like every other troll since the beginning of time, she has achieved her goal if people engage her on her terms.

@Sun Wukong
She won’t leave regardless. Doesn’t matter what you or I do. She’ll continue to spout bad quotations, half-truths, and plausibly deniable claims of female superiority. Again, it doesn’t matter what you or I do, she’s decided she’s going to stay and try to generate self-amusement/profitable-content. When a child you have no power over begins bothering you, what is the best course of action?

You’re focused on what I’m doing, because it’s annoying to see someone continue to feed a troll. I don’t blame you. Again, I have no power over the troll. Even if I did nothing, the troll would continue to get people to respond to her randomly over a presumably lengthy period of time.
@Sun, Jeremy, interesting thought … allowing female trolls turns us into reactionary betas by default. Even if I decide to scroll past their comments, that scrolling is a reaction, one I wouldn’t have to take if they simply weren’t here. Whether I decide to engage or ignore, that decision is an instigated response.
Off topic and sorry for barging in, but this is gold:

The Jimmy Kimmel video above I posted shows many interesting things:
1. Implicit indoctrination of children: they are stating for young kinds that is a fact that women gets paid less for the same job, which is debatable
2. Young children speak the truth, while older children have been already indoctrinated enough that they already internalized the feminine imperative agenda
3. The reaction of the public when something favourable to female agenda is said.
@LT: Golden. The young girl who answered “that’s what I think” will change to “that’s what I feel” upon puberty

“thee who dares cross this line is a ______ (pick some descriptor synonymous with “blasphemer”) except I’m too pussy to say so”.
@AR – “So if external reality doesn’t match your own personal truth, you discard external reality, is that right?”
No – maybe you should read what I said again (like – the rest of that passage).
“Naming a tardigrade ‘Ralph’ is like naming a dog ‘Spot.’ ”
Hey, cut me some slack, in my day a pre-teen keeping a tardigrade as a pet was pretty out there all by itself.
@Wild Man: ” . . . maybe you should read what I said again . . .”
As I recall, it was “belief.”
@YaReally those shoe exchanges with aurini and roosh were painful to read…lol…i must have missed that the first time around bc i didn’t know who she was…lol…she seems cool enough, though…lol… (and is karen really shoe?…and if so, so what…lol…trolling is trolling…lol…but i think it matters to guys here bc shoe is attractive, so that would impact their view of ‘karen’…lol…) my take on this whole thing with the karen/shoe/trolls/etc thing, is that most men here really don’t understand just how many social media steroids girls’ solipsism has been juiced with over the last few years (especially younger girls, but… Read more »
@WildMan
lol, okay. Not ONCE in my comment to you did I say ALL women… You can reread it if you want. I was very careful not to. Are you seriously going to use NAWALT as an argument? Ugh.
Why do you care about this mythical, statistically insignificant, leader/woman? hmmmmm? Why?
Hey SJF – that quoted Skeeter Thompson commentary on Jean Paul Sartre that you provided – nice. That does resonate with me.
@andy
“Why do you care about this mythical, statistically insignificant, leader/woman? hmmmmm? Why?”
@YaReally, it’s April Fool’s Day. Surely you know of some cool openers, right?
@Andy – is NAWALT/AWALT relevant to what we are discussing? I suppose you are insinuating as such by framing my description of a feminine leadership style as “mythical”. So …. like i said ….. I see the evidence all around me ……. and I also said …. very few women rise to this level of social prominence. So I was insinuating that the qualities that allow for the select few women to rise to that level, are qualities I see all around me. I did not explicate on that further in the specific comment directed to you….. so OK …..… Read more »

How much did you offer to pay him for that service?
@Wild man
It ought to. And the fact that it resonates with you merely reflects that you are in one of the first four K-R stages WRT personal agency. Hell and other people=grief.
Notwithstanding the fact that it is the exact same thing Andy is trying to get you to see clearly.
@All – And it’s @KFG for the win. “Karen was boring because her comments were crafted to ensure that she not only wasn’t incorrect, but not even wrong. She left little opening to actually engage, in order that she could eventually spring her little “punchline” by playing the pigeon.” I always give people a chance, especially if they appear to have promise. Some will rally to the chance, most will not. She also didn’t speak of us “stinking up her attic” as InanitySucks did, or be completely fraudulent and nasty as Emily revealed herself to be. But in any event,… Read more »
“So the question remains – how do you explain that there are women that rise to this level of social prominence (and this is in no way just a mythical construct – you can actually see a mini-version of this within healthy family dynamic for instance)?”
What do you want me to explain? There’s a lot of people in this world. Why do you care so much about this person’s existence?
@Scribble, try the “TheSoundYouNeed” YouTube playlists. Gets one pumped up before going out.
@SJF – man I thought maybe you were finally getting me. Wrt to this quote: “He meant that Hell is an internal condition brought on by our relations with others. The existentialist statement as Satire framed it is that we are individually responsible for what we make of ourselves. In his majestic and beautiful Being and Nothingness, Satire posits a condition of perpetual appearance (a coming-into-being) which is governed by the nearly infinite choices life requires us to make as we pass through it. Nothing is more difficult than choices we must make regarding our relations with others – but… Read more »
How does anyone know that Karen is really ShoeOnHead? Regardless, there is no way to ever describe female sophism as well as she does through her own comments.
@Wild Man I’m not trying to shit test you or impugn you. I’m merely illustrating your fallacious ideas (awareness) and ineffective ways (game). “@Andy – this thing about insinuations around my manliness is fucking disrespectful, and you aren’t the first to try to shit on me that way. That all you got? Fuck you pussy.” That ain’t no way to pass a shit test. Or get honor for your thoughts in a group of men (the commenters here). From “The Way of Men” re: esteem in a group of men: “If honor is to mean anything at all, it must… Read more »
@habd “i think this increasing solipsism is actually driving the push towards the 95/5 division, bc there are fewer and fewer men that can look past the snark to see the subcomms in play (and deal with it)…and as that pool of ‘alpha studs’ get smaller, girls increase the snark/bitch shields/’self amusement’ to filter for alpha faster…lol…(partly to find alpha faster but also to sooth their disappointment in the state of ‘men’ today…) it’s become a feedback loop…i constantly get ‘surprise’ reactions when i push back on the snark (and not in a butthurt way…lol)…but that only really makes sense,… Read more »

There is an argument that I have with my wife;We disagree then I say I don’t argue with women,yes you do ,no I don’t,yes you do,no I don’t,yes you do,no I don’t,until we forget the dispute and start laughing as it didn’t matter anyhow.
@Andy – you said: “What do you want me to explain? There’s a lot of people in this world. Why do you care so much about this person’s existence?” Andy – we started our exchange around whether the idea that women – “outside of the attraction game, are in fact interested in accomplishment for themselves, and do achieve results around that interest” – is worthy perspective or not. You insinuated this female accomplishment really doesn’t matter. I had made this statement in the first place by way of an exchange with Blaximus, in order to make my point that there… Read more »
You can blame the current mindset of youth on the education system,the entertainment industry,the community at large,the finger pointing of political leaders ad infinitum. the bottom line is the world doesn’t owe them anything and sooner or later they will have to join the circus in order to survive.
” You insinuated this female accomplishment really doesn’t matter.” I don’t value female accomplishment for the sake of accomplishment. If you do, why? “However, if said redpill pundit actually wants to insinuate that “men are not superior”, then this must play-out wrt to the definition of leadership. How can it not? So in that eventuality …. you must define leadership differently …. ” Whatever you want to call it man… Deep breaths. Everything is going to be O.K. “Time to get past this dumb shit here. We all know deep down the men and women are well matched wrt to… Read more »
Leadership requires a complete view of the project or adversary,that can only be seen after putting oneself aside momentarily.Some good leader qualities are,doesn’t complain downhill,listens to complaints and appears to take them seriously,decisive with no vacillation,goal orientation, serious demeanor,clear and concise direction and consistency.
Women for the most part are solipsistic,inconsistent,more concerned with the social aspects than the project challenge,complaining and dismissive.
@SFJ – you aren’t indifferent if you keep engaging. There really isn’t going to be any way for you to spin it that way buddy (unless you wanna go the psychopath way – but we all know that not true). You really are a very judgy fucker. I’m not the lowest common denominator at IM and he knows that. I don’t give a shit about your “The Way of Men” bro-crap you constantly hide behind. Shit test man-on-man?, come’on buddy, I ain’t trying to make no one’s dick hard here, somebody disrespect me…… I not gonna take that crap, despite… Read more »
“How does anyone know that Karen is really ShoeOnHead?”
An assertion was made. What more could you ask for?
@Wild Man Your premises are wrong. Superior/Inferior is not the same as Dominant/Submissive. Only an egalitarian equalist would say that men and women are well matched to complementary (*) strengths and weakness. Masculine and feminine attempt to reach and equilibrium and maintain polarity. Not match up equal. Equal is boring. com·ple·men·ta·ry adjective 1. combining in such a way as to enhance or emphasize the qualities of each other or another. synonyms: harmonious, compatible, corresponding, matching, twin; supportive, reciprocal, interdependent (*) Wild Man, you spelled that word wrong with an “i” Wildman–I would take that as a pedestalizing blue-pill Freudian slip)… Read more »
@Andy – there are implications for not getting this man/woman thing right, both personally, and also downstream wrt to the quality of gender relations. If you don’t care wrt your circumstance, and your social environment, like I do, – OK, you did engage me in the first place, but I’m cool with just chillin on this issue with you and agreeing to disagree.
