It’s likely readers here have been following my twitter threads about the Anthony Bourdain suicide and I’ve been discussing the particulars about his death on Pat Campbell’s show and the Red Man Group for almost 2 weeks now. As readers know I’ve personally dealt with two suicides under circumstances like this and I’ve picked apart dozens more over the years I’ve been writing. I’ve got a pretty good idea why old Beta guys off themselves.
But the Beta part is only one aspect of the story. Anthony being a ‘paper alpha’ is certainly an aspect too, but the more I dig into the background of the “love of his life”, Asia Argento, the more the puzzle pieces fit together. This bitch was a piece of work. If you watched the Red Man Group last Saturday I explained why I don’t think she was a BPD case (borderline personality disorder), but after reading this thread I’m beginning to change my mind:
Wow. @PC1170
All of this just lifted from Asia’s IG feed. WTF?!https://t.co/bE6nj8rZTI
— Rollo Tomassi (@RationalMale) June 18, 2018
So, she’s a witch. A literal witch, and all of her ‘sisterhood’ are witches are too. You can digest that however you feel is necessary, but this is a 42 year old woman who practices literal witchcraft – which is an extension of feminism with a pagan spiritual woo woo magical thinking whipped into the mix. I really need to do a more expansive post on Chick Crack soon.
But, even this isn’t what I want to confront you with. What I want to raise your awareness to is something I’ve never really had an occasion to explore until now; Anthony Bourdain was a very big fish.
Anthony Bourdain (AB) was a long term, life-long, Beta. He was every bit of what I call a ‘terminal Beta‘. Yes, he had the Bad Boy thing working for him and if you want to get a more complete idea about his past Black Label Logic has a great piece on his blog you really ought to read. But, with respect to Bourdain’s understanding of intersexual dynamics he was very much a Beta.
People immediately gave me shit for naming him such. That was expected. He’s Anthony-fucking-Bourdain and I’m just some “half-assed self-published Red Pill writer, what the fuck do I know, right?” Well, I knew enough to recognize the profile of a Contextual Alpha who’d been plugged into his Blue Pill conditioning for 61 years and the huge mark he put on himself by being so publicly co-dependent on the idea of the soul mate myth. Anthony had been through 2 wives. The most recent one cheated on him with her MMA fighter / personal trainer he no doubt was paying to “train” his soon-to-be ex wife. I have no doubt AB would’ve attempted to lock down Asia Argento because this is what overly possessive, perpetually mate guarding Beta men do when a woman approaches his “dream girl” ideal. His social media was rife with declarations about how happy he was to have finally met his ‘kindred spirit’ soul mate (and self-avowed Wiccan) Asia Argento. AB sincerely believed his ship had come in. The woman who would finally complete him (this time) was at last in his life.
In every Instagram image, every Tweet, AB was gushing about how he’d never been happier as he cuddled with Asia like a boy who loves his mother. Intermixed with these images were many others with him in classic possessive-Beta encroaching posture – interposing arms like an affectionate headlock, while she looked away wistfully, or directly at the camera with the look of a woman who knows the Beta she’s with is deadweight to her Hypergamy.
Big Fish and the Cookie Lady
There is a larger dynamic at play in all this, one I probably could add an addendum to in my second book, Preventive Medicine. An aging Beta male, and particularly one with a notable amount of money, success, fame or status is a big fish for a necessitous woman. A woman who’s long practiced in using her sexual agency to its best advantage with men knows a prime target in an older man who’s never unplugged himself from his Blue Pill conditioning. Bourdain was one such big fish, and his Blue Pill conditioning, his eager white knighting and immediate deference to the feminine, his soul mate idealism would’ve been instantly recognizable to a 42 year old woman long accustomed to being the center of orbit for many a prior Beta.
I don’t want to call it an epidemic, but there is a set of women who look for aging men with resources to befriend and pretend they have a genuine interest in. Men with even moderate means and a Blue Pill conditioned idealism that ‘love springs eternal’ are prime targets for women who can read and assess that man’s state from years of practice. A woman who shows interest in a man who’s been starved for affection, sex and a real connection with a woman (married or not) will seem like more than an oasis in the desert. She’ll appeal to his romantic, idealistic Beta soul; a last chance at ‘true happiness’, a true miracle, as he enters his old age.
My own father was one such target for a woman we called the ‘cookie lady’.
My dad passed away from complications of Alzheimer’s/dementia before he was 72, but before his dementia had really become apparent the ‘cookie lady’ had already made a mark of my dad. My father was also what I’ve called a terminal Beta. He never unplugged to his dying day and lived a life based on the old set of books, being a good provider, dutiful, responsible and he was perpetually disappointed by the women in his life never reciprocating with their intimacy and appreciation the ‘rules’ clearly stated should happen. They never loved him in the way he thought women ought to be capable of loving him. Nevertheless, dad always clung to the (noble?) belief that if he saved his pennies and was of the highest service to women that eventually, one day, his efforts and quality would be appreciated by the right woman. He was a good example of the Savior Schema.
The ‘cookie lady’ understood all of this – all of dad’s Blue Pill conditioning, the way he thought the world and women should work, the old social contract investments, his idealism about women, everything – all of it in less than a week. She really wasn’t all that different from my step-mother in that respect, but at this late in the game, at her age, and noticing the subtle hints of cognitive degeneration in dad, the stakes were much higher for her long term security. I should also add that I would include my own mother in this schema; she’s a lovable loon, but she knew a good opportunity for security back in the 60s, so it may be my father had a knack for attracting this type of woman due to his Blue Pill idealism.
The reason we called this woman the ‘cookie lady’ was because she always brought my dad fresh baked cookies when she was trying to play into his Blue Pill end-of-life last ditch hope for happiness. We never knew her real name and if it hadn’t been for my dad getting very upset with us for preventing him from rewriting the ‘cookie lady’ into his will and power of attorney within the first month of her ‘dropping by’ we may very well have been suckered into her scam too.
Respect Your Elders
It was this incident that opened up a whole new understanding of the Red Pill and intersexual dynamics for me. I think it may be important going forward in Red Pill awareness to consider how intersexual dynamics and the Feminine Imperative affect generations of older men. My brother and I had to really watch out for similar scams to take advantage of my dad’s condition and his Blue Pill mindset that was making him a target. It wasn’t until this incident that I did a bit of research to find out how common this scam really is. In a sense it’s one more angle on the ‘stripper effect’ for younger, desperate, men for whom the feigned attention of the stripper, the kino, the deferent concern, is more seductive than her sexuality. It feeds a deeper emptiness. In a young man, in an Incel, just the possibility for that connection can become an obsession. For an older man, who’s been starved of the same (in or out of marriage) for the better part of his life, it seems like a storybook ending all his Blue Pill conditioning told him was possible. And what would a man like that give for on last shot at that idealistic ‘love’?
When Will We Face the Facts about Suicide in Older Men?
The instance of elderly men’s suicide is something not too many people want to talk about. Much of what I’ve read about it throws out a lot of feminist boilerplate about how old masculine ideals are to blame, but as expected, it uses this ‘toxic’ masculinity narrative to cover the uglier truths. Most men are Betas. Most men spend their lives wondering why all the Blue Pill hopes they sincerely believe are possible just don’t happen for them. They blame themselves, or they blame others, but they never really unplug because their existence was centered on the certainty that Blue Pill dreams come true if they can just work on the relationship harder or they made more money or if they’d only met a more perfect ‘soul mate’ in the story that is their life.
Anthony Bourdain fit this profile to the letter. And while it may not have been Asia Argento’s conscious, forethought purpose to gravy-train him, his Blue Pill, Beta, perspective had to have been apparent to her. On some level of consciousness she knew he had the capacity for self-harm as an extension of this. It’s exactly why she pleaded to the paparazzi who photographed her on the streets of Rome with her far more Alpha lover Hugo Clement, not to publish the photos. For all the guilty foreshadowing from Rose McGowan trying to convince the public who adored Bourdain about their “relationship without borders”, the truth is deathly apparent that Bourdain’s idealism believed otherwise.
Asia Argento didn’t kill Anthony Bourdain, but in what she represented to his Blue Pill mind, her actions were the catalyst that prompted his suicide. Yes, he was depressed. Yes, maybe he was on Chantix (we’ll never know now that his body was cremated unceremoniously, without a toxicology screening and against his family’s wishes). Yes, he was a hard drinker, drug addict and had suicidal thoughts before (after his 2nd divorce), but he killed himself 3 days after the pictures of his “soul mate” and Hugo Clement were published.
I think the bigger lesson here is a wake up call for older men who are still plugged into the Blue Pill Matrix as well as those who’ve become Red Pill aware much later in life. I’m of the opinion that it’s never too late to unplug and live a Red Pill aware life, but I will concede it’s a lot to lay on a guy who’s lived most of his life plugged in. Looking back on decision after decision influenced by a Blue Pill conditioning, influenced by a set of rules you believed others were playing by and then seeing the results of those decisions and wreckage that followed. It’s one thing to be “awakened while married” when you’re in your early 40s, but it’s quite another to realize Red Pill truths when you’re 70 and maybe have another good 10 years to live if you took care of yourself. That’s a rough realization.
In Positive Masculinity I stressed the importance of Red Pill aware men being mentors for boys and younger men and helping to raise them out of the influences of the Feminine Imperative’s Village, but I think it’s going to be important to mentor and protect the interests of older men as they age in a Blue Pill mindset and become Red Pill aware.
On AB….
I’m certain he wasn’t getting laid on the regular by AA or anyone. He went to Thailand (of all places!) for a business, no pleasure.
You know a lot of guys buy into the fiction of Galahad chastity or some lesser form, even when all signs say “She’s fucking around.”
Even if she isn’t, I see no benefit for a guy to play “Married man” and expect his wife/gf to assume he’s desire fuckable.
Sex has become for her duty sex at that point.
How’s Darwin helping you out, bro?
Wild Man Your word salads are still laced with the vinaigrette of egalitarian inter-sexual equalism. Which is and ideology and you are advancing thoughts and your thesis nowhere. Inter-sexual relationships are best in a non-equalist, complementary polarity. You can debate the state of Alpha all you want, but you still want masculine /feminine polarity to be the dynamic. (and a polarity requires two poles, both poles should best perform their roles.) Egalitarian equalism is static, defensive and not desire inspiring. The feminine pole without the feminine is not a functioning pole. Whether its her fault or the fault of the… Read more »

PalmaSailor “@SJF it was Anastasia in the book by the way but I’m sure you guessed that” Yes, I vaguely remember, but with red pill lenses on it was just a confirmation of “the nature” of that woman.

Of course it won’t be you, or me, or anyone, as we are RP aware. But my question is this – Do you think she really believes it, and is still searching for her… Read more »
SJF – the terms “egalitarian inter-sexual equalism”, and “non-equalist, complementary polarity” – you need to do a better job of defining your meanings. I have made my definitions clear. To wit: Do you mean by egalitarian, in keeping with original definitions, by way of the enlightenment ideas, …. that humans share similarities that therefore allow for opportunities for cooperation, and that what one does with one’s personal circumstance, inclusive of the quality of human similarity, can lead to ‘merit’, the idea that better outcomes can be had, both individually and collectively, by way of more virtuous operation of said similarities?… Read more »

Awalt by degree. Depending on how a girl is raised into adulthood, some can hold onto fantasies because life hasn’t ground it out of them.

marelius – I have already taken issue with Rollo’s use of the term ‘egalitarian equalism’. Perhaps Rollo could answer the questions I put to SJF above, on that topic.
Blax, most of my experiences align with your comments and observations, with the exception of the soulmate myth. I have met several who still cling to this ideal – hypocritically, mind you – even though they themselves have “settled”.
Looking through RP lenses, I have seen through this, and have my theories about what keeps a woman clinging to this belief. I am interested in hearing what this community thinks might be the motives behind the behaviors and thoughts of a woman who does still cling to this.
“I assume you’ve read most of Darwin’s ” theories “. If so, it’s apparent why I’ve always found his work to be completely full of shit.”
Blax – Darwin informs Rollo’s perspective. Maybe take your criticism, of Darwin, up with Rollo then.
All these diagnoses of women’s potential mental issues is a waste of time, they are all basically empty vessels that fill to fit the man of the moment. Some are more empty than others and love bombing is their way of attempting to fill up the void. Thirsty men are very susceptible and the love bombing generates oneitis. Suicide in the case of Guys like Bourdain is the death of dreams, Cyanide of the Soul.

Last thought.
Rollo has gone above and beyond Darwin and has pulled from many more sources. Rollo’s work isn’t ” theory “. Any man can test it today and see the validity immediately.
@Fred
Exactly.
There are guys who see a back built science (wildman) as the phenomenon itself then claim they can control the phenomenon.
Do I really need to know what a Calorie is? I’ll just eat when I’m hungry.
Pride goeth before the fall.
I’ll admit when playing in the world of science, cultue and morality it’s best to do speak their language to blend in and know what to avoid.
It’s why you n me could fake BP as Red Pilled, but Blue Pilled can’t fake RP (without image handlers like AB).
Blax – as far as I can tell Rollo uses evolutionary psychology concepts because he not only believes that evolution is a concept that describes actual processes, but furthermore, he believes that one aspect of the evolutionary dynamic is the power to shape minds and psyches. I concur.

Thanks Walawala – thats the nugget I need.

Darwin has precious little meaningful to say about evolutionary psychology that benefits us. It’s a tortoise-level thing.
The only reason we’re talking about evo-psych in this fashion is some asshole Darwin eugenist type decided long ago it’s in your personal best interest (and their financial and social and control) to fuck with the genetic and social codes, so much so that what we consider natural now isn’t.

You are debating generalities with other men on this page instead of debating your specific FRs on the field report page. There’s your problem and your solution.

You still haven’t defined that term by way of the usual definitions of ‘egalitarian’ and ‘equalist’ (by these usual definitions, the double term is very hard to make any sense of, like I have already pointed out to you). Please provide your clarification on that matter before using the term any more. Lest the ‘word salad’ handle and all that.

Wildman: So if what your saying in context of Alpha as Alpha the FI finds it’s preeminent attraction and in further context Alpha (non psychopathic type) behaviors are most valued in information gathering and further knowledge aggregation (which I am attempting to prove within my comments), then we agree, yes? Furthermore your comments align with my long repeated contention that Eh and SJF are bothersome obstructionists, eh? In that we all agree, of course.

The rest is either temporarily or permanently gone.” So what you are saying is that you think it is acceptable to put your purpose and mission in external hands, no matter What? So what you are saying is that pussy-begging is acceptable to you? So what you are saying is that you see no value in your core Being? That… Read more »
Eh – you comment: “So if what your saying in context of Alpha as Alpha the FI finds it’s preeminent attraction and in further context Alpha (non psychopathic type) behaviors are most valued in information gathering and further knowledge aggregation (which I am attempting to prove within my comments), then we agree, yes? Furthermore your comments align with my long repeated contention that Eh and SJF are bothersome obstructionists, eh? In that we all agree, of course.” OK – I appreciate the attempt now, at trying to understand what I am saying. You got it partly right, but it still… Read more »

If I wasn’t happy with where my goal post was I would have moved it myself.
Studies state 25% of women are on mood altering drugs of one sort or another, most over 40 are dealing with peri menopause and all the crazy that goes with that…Add Hypergamy to the mix and you might as well not worry about personality disorders, it’s hardwired in. Women stay until they feel they have in their own minds a better option. It is what it is until it isn’t.
meanwhile… the grief stricken, 10 days later…

And add to that the piercing cognitive dissonance of having been sold a bill of goods regarding career over family and having kids, that manifests itself at this age….if only the hamster wheel could be harnessed as a perpetual motion machine….
Funny pic Sentient. ” I am woman here me roar” pose.
Somebody dies and it’s all about the ‘grieving’ woman. And that’s the usual way. She is probably saying thinks like ‘Anthony wouldn’t want me to suffer in this darkest hour. He would want me to hold my head high’ and shit like that. Too funny. I know it’s sad and all, but also … it’s this human nature thing ….. funny … because what else would you expect, except by matters of degree.
“@Wild Man: “Context?”
You’ll find it in Balzac.
Part of the fun of the game is moving the goalposts so subtly that no one realizes that they have been moved for a considerable time. Of course, you call out anyone else attempting to move the goalposts.
It’s called Weasel Game.
My takeaway from this essay is reaffirmation that “Alpha is a mindset not a demographic”. RT. Situational Alpha ; he is until he isn’t. “Naturals” he is until he succumbs to oneitis/betatisation and/or ages badly, if there was little substance beyond their genetic fortune that gave them confidence attained from a positive reinforcement feedback loop. Game over! Only men who internalise and live a life of being their own mental point of origin will come out the other side of life’s trials and inevitable setbacks with their “Alphaness” intact. AB was a pussy! He could have used the experience to… Read more »
@ Marelius “If she is really of the belief that a soulmate exists then perhaps she is truly unaware of her own true nature?” In my experience i have observed this to be true. My best female friend (who i work in a creative project with who i have never sexually desired) is like this. She’s cool and trustworthy, but her solipsism is incredible at times. Fuck, she’s pissed me off at times with her female bullshit, totally denying things she has said or done, then trying to blame me! It’s hard not to yell at her and lose my… Read more »
@ Cult-I-Vader “If one is queasy about another claiming to be natural alpha or anything else that brims with self confidence, one might examine their own self confidence. I have no qualms about making self evaluations. Perhaps those uncomfortable with one who states their obvious accomplishment, are perfectly settled in their own lowly self estimation that reduces themselves to Beta chum (p). Alcoholics are especially delusional about self evaluation. One must get over the Beta, FI, enforced modesty. Besides, alcoholics and has-been men are notoriously loud in self proclamations and all sort of exaggeration…” So, so true, man. Excellent reflections… Read more »

I am expecting others here to act with abstract non-personal regard, for themselves first and foremost, and therefore for others as well.
Is that abstract egalitarian equalist non-personal regard, or equalist abstract egalitarian non-personal regard? I’m sure you are aware there is a difference…

@SFJ
If you reread my post, you’ll note I suggested nothing of the kind.
Blue pill ideals are the little lies we tell ourself in order to make life more palatable.
When two people meet, each has to have a reason for investing in the relationship. Any returns on investment are to be realised at a future date. The concept of these returns is the lie we require, to invest in the here and now.
We all do it. I’m just tireder than most.
“Heh, says someone that doesn’t even contribute anything at all here….”
Saying nothing is 1000% better than spreading disinformation and little stupid theories that you strung together from books and can’t be proven.
Lots of feigned hysterical indignation in the MSM concerning illegal immigrant children being separated from their parents. But no concern fake or not about half of all American children being separated from their fathers by women and the courts. Does anyone understand the origin of the word parent. It starts with the letter P, like the word paternal, like the word patriarchy. It does not start with the letter M, like the word maternal or matriarchy. There is a reason for this. Paternal instinct is primarily to the male. Parenting, especially discipline, the rational aspect of it is best provided… Read more »

@Rollo Your story about your dad and the “cookie lady” broke my heart because I have an uncle that is in the same situation. My uncle “Robert” was a very good looking guy when young but also a hopeless Beta. He married at 23 with a post-wall BPD feminist several years older than him. After a decade of marriage, he got cuckolded and divorce raped. Then he played captain save a hoe and married a single mom, he had two kids with her, but she has never ever loved him, she only sees him as a walking wallet. Now old,… Read more »

habd – ‘troll’ vs.’ arguing with reason and logic’. It’s all in the perspective, the ‘worldview’, how somebody gonna perceive an exchange. You seem to get that. OK – so, … you value arguing with reason and logic (as do I), probably as Rollo does (thus the ‘Rational Male’ moniker) yet you perceive what I have said as “stupidity”, and “utter nonsense”. OK – I already know that is how I am generally perceived here (that’s so abundantly clear, yet with no counter-arguing with reason and logic, as far as I can tell, that …… well, makes me wonder about… Read more »
This is a great conversation
Great job Rollo, casting light on yet another crucial stage-of-life issue.
On Father’s Day I offered up a few thoughts on my own dad — lived an incredible life but was always frustrated in love. The good-guy old-school blue-pill outlook was his Acilles heel. He lived much longer than your dad and remained quite sharp, but even so there can be a gnawing emotional hole.
Some powerful personal stories here. Interesting how many 63-year-old guys are popping up in this particular comment thread.
“In Positive Masculinity I stressed the importance of Red Pill aware men being mentors for boys and younger men and helping to raise them out of the influences of the Feminine Imperative’s Village, but I think it’s going to be important to mentor and protect the interests of older men as they age in a Blue Pill mindset and become Red Pill aware.”
Women hunting men as they age?
Wild I thought about trying to help define ” alpha “, but I’m not up to that task. Lots of confusion. Discussions will always lead back to some heartiste links on the subject, or declarations that any man who’s not banging a 20 year old….in the ass or something….isn’t alpha.😂😂 So I conclude that there will never be a viable description found in the comments. Rollo said in e something to the effect that men try to define alpha so as to include their particular behaviors. Yup. Admonitions that 50 year old men must behave as 20 year old men.… Read more »
Blax – yes – I appreciate what you are saying. There are a million ways to get it wrong. And personal bias (like you indicated Rollo insinuated) is always gonna be an issue. Yet I don’t accept we cannot obtain better descriptions (‘better’ as proxy for ‘viable’, for the time being anyways – not a bad way to go – yes?).
You’re not going to get that here.
