Most of my readers are aware of my stand on the myth of male vulnerability. Weakness is not strength, but the Village of the Feminine Imperative, would have us believe that the more a man displays honest signs of vulnerability the more endearing he’ll be to women. The Blue Pill conditions men to believe that crying, or being more emotionally sensitive, or really anything that makes him identify with the feminine in his personal character is a form of this endearing vulnerability that women can (by appealing to equalist reason) be expected to respect in a man. While adopting this mindset may open a man up to ridicule (and unspoken disgust on the part of women), this is not true vulnerability. The Village might try to convince a man he’s being brave by avoiding conventional masculinity, but this emasculating vulnerability is nothing compared to what a man has to lose from real vulnerability.
What I think most men, certainly all Blue Pill men, miss is that the ultimate form of vulnerability a man can engage in is ‘catching feelings’ for, or emotionally investing himself in, any particular woman. And this is especially so if that man’s Blue Pill conditioning makes him oblivious to the risks of that vulnerability.
Nothing leaves a man more vulnerable in life, love, family, career, finances and really power over the direction of his life than to invest himself in a woman. The very act, the very thought, of surrendering his life’s imperative to the trust that a woman wont exercise the unimaginable control and potential for damage she has in his life is a vulnerability no woman will ever recognize or acknowledge; nor will the sacrifices that come from this vulnerability ever be something she has a capacity to appreciate.
Even in the best case scenarios, where a man’s investment is reciprocated, or a somewhat idyllic relationship grows between a man and a woman, such is the state of our modern sexual marketplace that a potential for a man’s ruin still colors that relationship. Our feminine-primary social order has, through legislation and social pretense, made the proposition of any man navigating the sexual marketplace one of inherent vulnerability. Women rarely understand the vulnerability a man is opening himself up to because our social order makes that potential for his harm invisible to her. In fact, if he resists opening himself up to potential ruin he’s considered to be insecure, and this in turn is attributed to his maleness.
I have no doubt there will be women reading this last paragraph and think, “Well, women are putting themselves at risk too, we have to be vulnerable too.” No, you really don’t. Since the beginning of the Sexual Revolution every potential aspect of vulnerability for women in the SMP has been meticulously compensated for, or insured against the worst. Whether that’s the grossly female-weighted divorce and custody laws, or legal abortion, or arbitrary consent laws that only serve women, or the special dispensation for women academically or vocationally, any and all vulnerability risk is mitigated for you. The emotional vulnerability you believe is so costly pales in comparison to the risk and consequences that vulnerability represents to men. Men commonly have more to risk, more to lose and invest more of themselves into that risk proposition.
True vulnerability, the kind that opens you up to life-destroying consequences, is when a man’s idealism for women, despite knowing all the very likely, very destructive, consequences is something he willfully ignores. For a Blue Pill man, his vulnerability is rarely ever recognized. Thanks to his life-long preconditioning he believes in a romanticism that insulates him from ever acknowledging the risks and the all-downside potential of that vulnerability. This obliviousness – keeping a Beta-in Waiting blind – is a primary goal of Blue Pill conditioning.
Idealizing Surrender
Women would rather be objectified than idealized. The reason for this really gets back to evolved gender differences; women want a man who other men want to be and other women want to fuck. In other words, women want to be the object of desire of a worthy man. When a man surrenders himself to the primacy of the feminine, when he makes a woman his mental point of origin, when he alters the course of his life to accommodate her, that’s when he ceases to be someone for whom she’ll willingly submit to. When she becomes his center he knowingly surrenders Frame.
It is, however, the innate idealism that predisposes men to outward thinking, to the belief in what could be realized, that also predisposes them to idolizing women on whole and idolizing a woman at once. A man’s idealism makes a lot of things possible for him, but it also puts him at terrible risk with regard to being truly vulnerable. Furthermore, men’s fundamental romantic nature is also attributed to our innate what-is-possible idealism. The Feminine Imperative has used this idealism to its benefit for millennia, but the most common (seemingly sensible) utility of it results in men’s surrender of self to the feminine.
When we read through the romantic poetry of the ages – almost all of it written by men – the most common reoccurring theme is that of a helpless ‘surrender’ to the love a man bears for a woman. From Ovid to Shakespeare to Byron the dialog and sentiment is the same; that of the inherent ‘correctness’ of a man surrendering his soul to the love – requited or not – of a woman. If there is a psychological root to the disorder of ONEitis it can be found in this poetic idealism.
However, there is nothing that makes a man more vulnerable to a woman, to the feminine, than his idealist’s nature. The Feminine Imperative knows this thumbscrew of men. One hallmark of the conditioned Beta mind is an eagerness to put themselves into a state of surrender to the feminine. I go into this a bit in Pre-Whipped:
These are the men I call pre-whipped; men so thoroughly conditioned, men who’ve so internalized that conditioning, that they mentally prepare themselves for total surrender to the Feminine Imperative, that they already make the perfect Beta provider before they even meet the woman to whom they’ll make their sacrifice.
But what should predispose men to so eagerly want this surrender? Certainly there’s an element of a (false) belief in the possibility of a mutual concept of love between that man and a (potential) woman. It’s what he believes should be possible.
What else? There’s the pre-conditioned belief that this surrender is his masculine duty. Countless Blue Pill pastors make a living belaboring the narrative that men can’t be Men until they mold themselves over the course of a lifetime to be a (once convenient) a woman’s ideal. Literally, manhood is denied to him until he surrenders to the feminine.
The Family Alpha made this observation last week:
Many men have given the power over their inner self entirely to the women of their lives.
While I completely agree, what I’m wondering is why this need to surrender self is an intrinsic aspect in men? The majority of men (80% Betas) are pre-whipped to expect a need to surrender to the women in their lives. Their abdication is so matter of fact that it becomes something subconscious for them.
Is this a characteristic that separates Betas from Alphas? I’d like to think so, but then a distinction needs to be made between being a Strong Independent Alpha who lives up to a positive, pro-social, conventionally masculine role (despite a world arrayed against it) and the same who, though still respectively Alpha, surrenders his sense of self to the woman he idolizes.
SFC Ton had a great comment about this surrender:
“Women do not really have more power……The first step is to realize that this is indeed the case. Men cede power. Men are taught to cede power. Men look for opportunities to cede power. Women just take advantage of men’s largess. A man does not have to be full on Alpha to get this, or to use it to his best advantage in life.”
One thing to consider is how much power have men ceded and to what effect. The surrender is real, both individually and socially. Reclaiming the power ceded in that surrender will be fought in many different scopes. In The Family Alpha’s article, the concern is two fold: the ceding of a man’s inner self, the surrender of identity to the approval of the feminine, and what the consequences are for men once they reclaim or recreate an identity apart from what he allowed the feminine to create for him.
This a significant thing to ponder for men. One reason I believe men become so despondent, so nihilistic, after some trauma that shook them into Red Pill awareness is that their identity, their sense of self, was a result of this ceding of power to women. They literally do not know what to make of themselves once they are cut free from that paradigm, but moreover they must confront the fact that who they are now (at the time of their unplugging) is, in large part, due to that self-surrender. Prior to their unplugging this surrender may have been involuntary for them, but still perhaps not. Their vulnerability and the true potential of permanent damage from it is put out in the open for them and others to realize.
It’s easy to think of men having difficulty getting over their Exes as in some way damaged. Family Alpha’s point was to encourage men to get back on the horse and back in the game and be competitive again, and that’s what I believe is most beneficial for these men. I also believe that it does men no service to prolong feeling sorry for themselves, but again, that’s part of the process of recreating a man. The risk then becomes a sort of new surrender wherein men drop out and isolate themselves aways from the system that held them and caused them to believe in, and then confront the consequences of their first vulnerability and surrender to the feminine. Isolation becomes their new form of surrender.
However, it’s also important that they recognize the potential for damage that surrendering, that ceding power, to the feminine represents to them. Red Pill aware men should acknowledge that their real vulnerability will be implied in any relationship they enter into beyond a perfunctory pump & dump. That knowledge should be a source of power that prevents them from overextending themselves once again into surrender to the feminine. They are aware now and that awareness now implies a responsibility to it. It demands that they keep their heads out of the sand and make calculated risks according to that awareness.
Your new Red Pill self has no more excuses of ignorance – your life’s been handed back to you with the full knowledge of the system you’re a part of.
No surrender.

I know this will be perceived as hopelessly BP on my part, but aren’t there women who don’t want to get married or have children, even if few in number?
Also something that bothers me after a lot of manosphere reading, is that there seems to be no different types of women; men are divided in alphas, betas, omegas… but women are always treated as a more or less homogeneous group in terms of character. Is there an attempt at female subdivisions somewhere?

I agree Sentient, but men will still risk it all on a woman.. for a family. Choosing a good one among the AWALT is probably the most important thing of all.. A good one has a sense of duty, and is a critical thinker to a degree (not easily swayed by the narrative), and who has a traditional moral foundation. I’ve found that women who were close to their fathers are the most heavily endowed with these traits.
“but aren’t there women who don’t want to get married or have children” All women are hard wired, physically and emotionally, to fuck, have children. The FI sells women this unfulfilled bill of sale: Women will find fulfillment by being more independently masculine. Strong, independent woman is a fallacy, they want submission. The more a woman resists domination the more complete the submission when breaking. Hypergamy assists them in finding the best gene donor possible, THE best guy (at the time) they will submit to in bed. AWALT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trPe1i9RE0c “Is there an attempt at female subdivisions somewhere?” Here, no. https://therationalmale.com/2013/03/19/quality-women/… Read more »
“Choosing a good one among the AWALT is probably the most important thing of all…”
I see where you’re going…and short of choosing a psychopath, saying “good one” taints the RP mind with BP ideals. An ounce of shit in a gallon of ice cream tastes more like shit than ice cream.
I look at this way: avoid the small percentage of diagnosable troubled women. The rest are AWALT with negligible emotional stability/quality/emotional differences. The woman wants a man to lead her, she will follow. AWALT.
Ask me how I know.
It’s us, not them.
“I admit having passed up opportunities in the past. I think I am too proud and also (used to) take myself very seriously. So I felt I deserved more.” Oscar, for what it’s worth I’m a bit picky too. But there was a fork in the road during high school when my best friend’s mother, perhaps 35 or so at the time, showed discreetly but clearly she wouldn’t mind a roll in the hay. I balked, because she was like old and c’mon it’s way too weird … but I feel certain that going along would have been the first… Read more »

@Blaximus @ SJF I understand what you saying. if you get to the point of surrender its over any way. NEXT
@Eh
I think you can believe in NAWALT as long as you are aware that once your parents depart you are truly alone in the world. Thank God I grasped this as a kid already.
@Glengarry Haha nice story. A friend’s mom is awkward for sure. In my case it was a very fat girl I met through a dating app. She was not a full-blown whale but still not enticing. I could felt she was really into me and really felt bad cutting her off. At the time I thought I needed to do it to harden emotionally and develop my asshole self, but with the benefit of hindsight I could have got some sex practice. From what I have been reading here knowing how to perform in bed is key to success, and… Read more »
Rollo What are your thoughts on [former?] manosphere icon Clooney’s haul? Still, it’s not bad for a company that began in the Mexican holiday homes of Hollywood’s elite. But analysts question whether Casamigos, which shifted a relatively modest 120,000 cases in 2016, is worth such an overblown price tag. With a bottle selling for between $45 and $55, the company’s tequila probably generated some $70 million in 2016 revenue at retail. But when retail markup and wholesale prices are taken into account, the company’s actual sales could be closer to an estimated $36 million—which would mean, at $700 million, Diageo… Read more »
@Oscar: “I think you can believe in NAWALT as long as you are aware that once your parents depart you are truly alone in the world.”
Your mother is Like That.
“From what I have been reading here knowing how to perform in bed is key to success . . .”
Then you have misunderstood.
Strangely (or not), I know of several women not wanting a murder of crows of their very own. Some are still on the professional wheel, others don’t want the inconvenience, a very few fear the consequences of what’s coming future-wise and why submit a sprog to that? My attitude, of course, is if you know you don’t wants any, don’t haves any. Obv. I am not terribly sympathetic toward those who suddenly have baby envy around age 45 and get all shirty about it (yes yes I know). One I know refused to have kids until she was near 50,… Read more »
@ Eddie Willers: Stop the self-depreciation. If you think you are a piece of shit, you feel like one and experience your life like one. It sounds too simple, but if you are less harsh on yourself, you will get better eventually. Also, you list 100 things you tried. For how long? Two years? That is nothing. Some people do only one thing say Yoga for 10 years and they still are not enlightened. What did you expect? Meditate for 3 hrs and then live a life full of bliss? I’d recommend you pick the 1-2 things that were most… Read more »
@kfg Haha, you misunderstood me, although I admit it was easy to do so. Yes, “my mother is like that”, but from her I can expect unconditional love as a son. Same from my father. Once they are gone, there will be NO ONE in life I can fully trust. Not women of course, but neither male friends (I am lucky enough to have a loving family. Guys who do not might have a different take on this, but I honestly don’t think your best buddy will ever sacrifice as much for you as a normal parent would). You can… Read more »
My family never gave me unconditional love, nor would I expect it from anyone, nor do I believe in it.
Oscar, just looking at your image there…I watched Boardwalk Empire and always thought it would be a very interesting red pill topic. More so than Breaking Bad because there are more alpha characters (IMO)
Chalky and Richard are my favorite characters. I think they are both alpha.
Men claim to have interesting lives but mostly what they have is lives interesting to them and boring as hell to everyone else.
“normal” parents… Lol.
Everything is good in Situation Normal Oscar… When that becomes SNAFU – you will find that you were really all alone all this time.
Heh he… Right now a lot of my 50+ friends are discovering that when Mom dies… Dad finds himself a new one. And THAT one tends to want all the money. 💰
Bye bye inheritance… Hello lawyers.
@anon
I am sorry to hear that, and I understand your outlook.
About Boardwalk Empire, truth is I have never watched it, maybe I should give it a chance. I found the Buscemi pic somewhere and thought it looked cool. I like vintage 20th century themes.
I generally avoid TV and movies because sex is all over the place. Also I think you subsconsciously learn bad habits game-wise.
@ Sentient
Damn man I had not thought of that nightmarish scenario 🙂
Not to revisit the old Aussie guy and Goldmund thing, but I can’t help wondering “what should the surrendered man do now?”. I mentioned the above because answers along the lines of “he should never have surrendered in the first place” are unhelpful. “Next” is also an obvious answer, underpinned by the Sixth Iron Rule of Tomassi. But what else? I’m thinking that the only other viable option is insurrection, rebellion. The beaten man must first and foremost learn how to say “no”, to refuse to be complicit in his own enslavement. He needs to let go of his fear… Read more »
Yup.
Being a man isn’t comfortable or easy at all times, despite what any ” strong women ” studies might suggest.
Eddie, I am quick to call pussies pussy. Sometimes life beats us down. That doesn’t make us pussies. Sometimes we are beat down real good and it takes us awhile to keep back up and start swinging again. Needing some recovery time dodon’t make us pussies. Taking stock after a beat down and changing our plan of attack and/ or objectives doesn’t make us pussies. Getting beat down and staying down makes a man a pussy. Nothing you wrote screamed here lies a pussy. I ain’t got any advice for you, there are smarter men here for that but as… Read more »

A few more thoughts on romantic idealism, it’s usurpation of personal identity and lack of responsibility… In my previous comments, I touched upon the fact that romantic idealisim displaces ones perception of self when it is prioritized above the self. This is delusional and self destructive because the “victim” figuratively attempts to appoint a fantasy as the captain of his own ship instead of himself. No person can captianeer your ship but you, and an illusion sure as hell cannot. It is impossible for anyone else to. Others can influence, mislead and deceive you into sailing your ship upon the… Read more »

Veeeery Platinum Rule… 😉
Being human, we are all damaged goods in some way. It affects everyone differently. Eddie sounds like he went all in without the proper perspective, got burned, and it changed him profoundly. That is OK man. We have all done it before TRP. The Army used to have a program called “Battle Mind”. It was intended to prepare young soldiers for some of the harsh realities they might see before actually encountering them. We need to get to young men before they are actually damaged by the harsh reality of women. The truth is, you must always be first. You… Read more »

He needs to let go of his fear of consequences of doing so. I see jumbled objectives here. Thinking of Eddie Willers here. Insurrection and rebellion take a team of men. A big team. That is a top down approach to red pill and game. You don’t start insurrection and rebellion as an individual. That’s suicidal. The beaten down man that surrendered already didn’t learn to say no.… Read more »
@SJF Perhaps I’ve not been clear. I am not advocating any top down approach. A man can and should rebel within his own relationship enslavement. Who is going to come rescue him? Likely no-one. Might it be suicidal? Possibly, but it won’t be by his own hand. And not to harp on about, telling the beaten man who has surrendered that he’s too late, is already fucked and needs to get out of there, isn’t actually practical advice to that poor sod about how to go about getting himself out of that situation. “The man who succumbs, by force or… Read more »
To get back to Eddie, there is probably a whole battery of questions he’d need to ask himself about various aspects of his life, in order to identify and priorise the aspects of his life to improve, and set about a concrete plan to do so. But here’s the thing that is scary, that few men fail to admit to: not everything can be fixed. You may not get to start over. I’m not talking about defeatism and giving up too easily or not even trying. What I mean is honestly taking stock of your situation and declaring “right, my… Read more »
@Not Born This Morning
“They are attempting to disconnect from the misery and confusion by attempting to disconnect from women. Their balls will never allow them to disconnect from women.”
Probably so, but I am slowly coming to the conclusion that men can not win no matter what they do:
-If they try to forego any sexual contact, they are doing an unhealthy thing, going against their nature.
-If they look to get laid, they have to be constantly doing an effort to do so.
I miss being a kid and worrying about higher things.
“I am sorry to hear that, and I understand your outlook.”
Thank you, but I probably didn’t explain that very well. I wasn’t complaining.
My life is exactly as I want it to be (well, within the context of my family and relationships…there are of course a lot of things beyond my control).
I have a results-based perspective on life, not a procedure-based perspective.
Men are pre-whipped into this beta mindset because their SMV is not determined by their behavior.
Alpha beta is rather a synonym for SMV . If the man is acting alpha but doesn’t look alpha, it only makes matters worse.
In essence, men act beta because that is their only choice , otherwise never have female contact. You cannot outfight your genetics
Probably so, but I am slowly coming to the conclusion that men can not win no matter what they do: -If they try to forego any sexual contact, they are doing an unhealthy thing, going against their nature. -If they look to get laid, they have to be constantly doing an effort to do so. @Oscar C. — That’s the burden of performance, right there.

@Novaseeker
Yes, that is a nice way to put it. I have recently come across an old Rollo post “You need sex”, which deals with the issue quite well. I think happiness in life without sex is possible, yet only as long as you are aware that you are missing something, i.e. that you won’t be as happy as if you had it. Some people will find this comparison abhorrent but sexlessness may only be possible to overcome if thought of as a disability.
@ Oscar “…once your parents depart you are truly alone in the world.” Don’t know you well but your words are honest enough. Yeah, you come across BP. That’s not o.k. from a masculinity, freewill standpoint. Fortunately for you, you can change…and fast…but unlearning social conventions is uncomfortable, angers people you think are your stalwart friends, family. The same people who taught you about an “unconditional love”, a fictional love that keeps you in their frame, static. Parenting is to assist you, not protect you from life’s little journey. When dead, if they’ve done their job, they will have been… Read more »
