Imagine, if you will, that you buy a lottery ticket and you win. After taxes the payoff is $2 million. Not an exorbitant amount by today’s standards, but still quite a lot of money for the average paycheck to paycheck person. For some it may be what could be described as Fuck You Money, easily enough for most people to retire on very comfortably.
How would this newfound fortune change your life? How would it change your family and your friend’s dealing with you? Would they be happy for you? Maybe jealous? Would you be able to manage the changes in your daily routine? If you were accustomed to one lifestyle and then switched to a more affluent lifestyle would it be a good change? Or would you become someone else?
Now lets say you could possibly win $100 million if you made an almost certain bet. There were still some risks involved, but nothing that would threaten your life in the short term. How would winning this kind of money reflect on your daily routine? Would it be different than your winning $2 million? Money would cease to be an object for you for the rest of your life and likely the lives of your children, maybe even grandchildren and all you really had to do was make a smart bet that you believed would pay off.
What if you only won $1 million or $500,000, but you were only making $36,000 a year and scraping by the best you could? Again, all you have to do is look for the best opportunity to make a short term sacrifice and the money would be yours. Would you compromise your ‘principles’ (assuming you have any) temporarily to change your life in the long term more significantly?
Imagine you had a Golden Ticket that had a potential to win you $70,000 per year or if you played things right it had the potential to earn you $10 million per year if you were wise enough to capitalize on it. How would that change your outlook on life?
What rationales would that prompt you to in order to reconcile that other people might not have the same potential for cashing in –without really earning it – that you do?
Here’s your Ticket
Okay, got that in your head now? Good. Now imagine that you’re given this Golden Ticket at the tender age of 12 years old. It’s handed to you and you’re told, “Keep this ticket with you forever. You can redeem it for more money while you’re young, but the longer you hold on to it the less it will be worth. Even still, it should be valuable for most of your life if you can manage to hold on to it.” And even after you’ve cashed the ticket in you can still retain it for a time, because some people have been able to trade one prize for a larger one by taking the ticket back and redeeming it for a better prize later.
Now you begin to believe that you deserve the biggest prize because, well, you’ve been deprived of things. You’re special; special enough to know you deserve the very best after having been deprived of these things as one of a long line of people who’ve also been deprived of things – the best things – or so they’ve told you.
You could always earn some money and get the things you and your people have never been able to reliably get, at least, again, that’s what they’ve told you. You have a lot of personal potential, you’re independent, you have a lot of respectable strengths, so you know you could always merit the things you deserve. But you still have this Golden Ticket in your hand, why wouldn’t you use it? You could earn some money, maybe a lot, but it will never be as reliable or as much as the money the Golden Ticket could net you – if you know just when to redeem it.
Stipulations
All that said, there are going to be a few stipulations to this lottery, but still, they’re not as steep when you compare them to having to actually earn a similar prize.
The first stipulation: You must stay physically fit. In fact, the better you look the better your potential prize could be. As you age this potential decays, but even still, you occasionally see some people cash out their ticket for great prizes despite their age. They just had to apply themselves more in the gym to get it.
The second stipulation: You must be agreeable, accommodating, even a bit flirty. You must put forward the impression that you are someone who genuinely deserves the best prize that the ticket might offer to a special person like you. You must give the perception that the experience of you deserves the highest potential prize imaginable.
The third stipulation: You must position yourself in social situations where the potential for the biggest payout for your ticket can be maximized. Sometimes, not always, but often these settings might make you uncomfortable, but hey, you wanted to make the most of the ticket, right? This stipulation really isn’t all that discomforting when you realize that once you have cashed in your ticket you’ll be the one deciding where you live and who you’ll choose to associate with anyway. At least that’s what the lottery organizers would have you believe.
There are a few more minor stipulations, but, for all of this, you still deserve the biggest prize that opportunity might bring your way. So, while the best thing would be for you to stay in shape and be ready for a big prize, the people playing the same lottery as you – most with the same potential – will tell you none of this really matters. They insist that you just being you is enough for you to win a big prize. Or it should be.
It’s almost as if they want you to believe that you can dismiss all the stipulations and still make out pretty good. In fact they praise you for going against the stipulations. They complain about how unfair these rules are and that for people as deprived as themselves, and for as long as they and their predecessors have been deprived, they should simply be given the highest, best and most secure forms of the prize – all irrespective of the very minimal stipulations as they are.
This is the Golden Ticket! How dare anyone place prerequisites on us to get the prizes we so thoroughly deserve. How dare anyone make us earn our birthright. But for all this discontent, the rules of the game still apply, and the people who embrace and master the stipulations largely seem to get the biggest and best prizes. And the ones complaining about the stipulations only seem to drag down the people with the same Golden Ticket, and their prizes are usually nothing compared to the people who take the stipulations to heart.
The Agreement
Finally, and maybe most importantly, there is one last detail of this lottery to consider. In order to keep the biggest and best prizes you have to sign a very loose and totally non-binding contract that only benefits you and ensures you will continue to be paid dividends should you decide to renege on the agreement and take your ticket back to use it again. The contract can be broken by you at any time, and even when you do you’ll still receive a substantial percentage of your original prize in monthly installments and usually for the rest of of your life.
Still, your signing this contract will limit your capacity to play this lottery in the future. If you see the potential for a better prize after you’ve signed the contract of limitations you’ll be less able to capitalize on it. However, the way that the contract is written it doesn’t necessarily exclude you from winning and even bigger prize should the opportunity arise. Your ticket reserves the right to be redeemed for other prizes if you make some wise bets.
So, at the end here, we get to the larger point of this metaphor; how would this ticket change the way you live your life? How would it influence your future decisions? How would the ticket affect your personal relationships with your best friends, some of whom have tickets themselves? How would the subconscious knowledge of the ticket alter your dealings with a husband, a wife, the children you may have or your immediate family?
Would the ticket define who you will become in life?
[…] The Golden Ticket […]
I think that money makes you more of what you already are. If you’re a insecure man you’ll still be insecure and not trusting. You’ll spend your money on things that make you feel like you’re the shit even though these things are just a momentary boost. If you’re generous and want to help people you’ll be able to ten fold. If you’re a miserable jerk, you’ll be even more of an asshole; holding your newfound sense of superiority over people’s head.
“Keep this ticket with you forever. You can redeem it for more money while you’re young, but the longer you hold on to it the less it will be worth.”
Aaaaaaand, I see it coming right about here.
Why would any man choose to play this game?
Mine got over $500,000 playing her ticket. Then claimed it was all my fault because she wasn’t happy.
In my mind, I hold this thought. Half of a half is a quarter. I would never put myself in s position where that division happens again, though I know Ken who do. Prenup. Cohabitation agreement. Whatever it takes to remove the prize. Then see who is serious.
What if your ticket is worthless? It has expiration date too
I’m just gonna throw this out here, but doesn’t this story, especially the latter part, sound very much like how MODERN women treat their most prized assets in their prime, ie. their fertility, youth and beauty. They get a golden ticket handed VERY EARLY in life, but instead of saving it, and possibly investing it in a long term partner, they blow it on the repeated rides on the cock carousel, and simultaneously complain about the unfair stipulations and rules. Eventually THEY HIT THE WALL, and their golden ticket has been reduced to zero, but because they had the said… Read more »

Men are not handed any Golden Tickets (except the few priviliged to be born good looking and rich). Most men earn their way in life. Most women are handed this Golden Ticket at a very early age. They can cash in the big prize anytime before 30. The earlier they cash in, the higher the payoff. Pre feminisim, all women knew this and would cash in as early as possible. But Feminisim gave them a “false” promise that they can cash out any time in their life. In fact they are told that the Lottery Association (i.e. the Men) have… Read more »

Here is a recent post on my blog which, among others things, mentions the issue of relationships and marriage being a highly one-sided deal in favor of women- at many levels.
And ya, one of the biggest reason for my preference for using escorts comes down to the fact their cost structure is transparent and upfront- unlike marriage.

As long as there is a supply of thirsty blue pill men willing to wife up single moms….they don’t have to face the expiration of their ‘golden ticket’. Sure there is some depreciation but that is inevitable. Female sexual choice is unconstrained. Female accountability is virtually non-existent. The result is cumulative bad decisions leading to degeneracy and dystopia. It is good to make men aware of this and hopefully to walk away from these single moms, who are a cancer on society. Literally…if society was a human body, single moms would be cancer cells. Cancer will eventually spread and grow… Read more »
@Vector: I have to disagree with you. Yes, blue pill thirst is extra superfluous in our time. However, at some point in time women face their expiration date because of nature and time. And also, because hypergamy cannot allow them to stay in LTR with men they don’t respect. So they cash out thinking that they can still use their ticket to get a prize with their 2.5 kids in tow no less. Female sexual choice is unconstrained? No. As you know desire cannot be negotiated. Thus, just because women get attention this doesn’t translate into dick that they want.… Read more »

Betas and the 3 Laws:
1- A Beta must not disrupt the Female Imperative and hypergamy or, through inaction, allow them to come to harm.
2- A Beta must obey any orders given to him by women, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3- A Beta must pursue goals of a greater good and personal pursuits, as long as such pursuits dont conflict with the First or Second Law.
addendum: Betas can be fun. Now go out and be fun Betas YOLO.

All of you guys who think this article is about a lottery, or winning money, completely missed the point…
All women have to do to maximize the return on their golden ticket is to be fit, be agreeable, and consolidate on their hypergamy before they’ve hit the wall. As Rollo points out, these stipulations are pretty minor, especially compared to what a man has to do to create a comparable level of wealth for himself. And even if women don’t maximize their return on their ticket, society gives them plenty of chances to have a soft landing. The irony is that our culture tells women the worst thing she can do is marry while she’s still young and beautiful… Read more »

There are different ways to play this lottery system, different types of tickets are available to choose from. It would be good if you wrote an additional post about the workings of how this lottery also benefits those who buy tickets to the corporate side of the system. This side also provides great benefit to those who understand how winning tickets are selected.
I wonder. Since #netooKavanaugh is an almost identical replicate of (although arguably even more ridiculous) #metooAnitaHill, is Kavanaugh essentially guaranteed to be confirmed? You see, #metoo is nothing new. In fact, it has become stale. The latest dressing of it is nothing more than an attempt to cast perfume over its stench. Stinky pussy. But, is this perhaps a rhyme, as history does not repeat, it rhymes. Will the upcoming election also rhyme, with the 2016 election, maybe?

Congrats on a 30 year marriage, glad it worked out for you. It didn’t work out for others.
This is a great analogy. I suspect the people who need most to ponder it will not grasp it at first.
OFF topic question for the crowd:
I’m looking for a new suit, but don’t have the budget for MTM or tailoring now.
Are there off the rack brands that accommodate a more athletic build – big biceps and shoulders but slim waist. About 8” drop.
“Slim” fit suits I tried are tight in the arms. Going a size up works for the arms but bulky on the torso.
Thanks!

@KAK:
As a former off the rack suit salesman with an 8″ drop – you’re hosed. I had the advantage of being in the 20th century, having proper off the rack 7″ drop athletic cut suits and competent free seamstresses on site. Now suits are mostly cut “portly” and “girly and emaciated.” Not much you can do with those, even if you can find an outlet with competent, free alterations.
Here’s a decent guide:

So who gave them the golden ticket in the first place? Biology? Feminism? Simp daddy? or it’s created by male thirst?
As long as the majority of men invest in unsustainable Pyramid/Ponzi schemes unbeknownst to them, they keep catapulting it’s value to astronomical levels.
Once the magnitude of the fraud is disclosed to them the golden ticket will expire.

After the prologue, replace every occurrence of Golden Ticket/ticket with femininity. Rollo’s point will become abundantly clear.
I have a million dollar life insurance policy on me. Whenever my wife complains about me engaging in dangerous practices like riding my motorcycle, I point this out to her. To which she inevitably replies, “You are worth at least three times that much to me alive!”
Astonishing how many dudes in the comment section obviously didn’t get how Rollo means his metaphor.
For anyone a bit familiar with Rollo it should be immediately clear that of course the “golden ticket” is what WOMEN get / have. The article is simply a description of today’s reality.

I think we deceive ourselves if we believe that women are not “successfully” cashing in their golden ticket later and later. Sure, the returns are not as grand as they would have otherwise been perhaps. The prize is greatly diminished in value.

But data and reality is showing us clearly that there is no marriage strike, at least not yet, because only about 13% of all women (all races) remain unmarried at age 45. https://dalrock.wordpress.com/2018/09/04/2017-never-married-data/ This is no… Read more »

This is why women have to submit.
So many interpretations of this post, yet some are still saying that it’s clear what Rollo is talking about.
That’s the beauty of words; they are open to interpretation. That is why you don’t listen to what she says, you just watch what she does.
Screw her Golden Ticket. You are the prize, not her.
I love this analogy, and it is female solipsism that reiterates its points, along with opportunistic love. When a man is on any dating site or a club scene, an alpha red pill man is looking for who he can fuck and move on. Typical shaming mantra from women is he just pumped and dumped her.

The response to the Ticket tells more than the Ticket–the response shows how a man views himself–whether he thinks that he’s the prize or he thinks that women are the prize.
Why should men give a fuck and care so much about what she does with her “golden ticket” when women themselves don’t give a fuck.
Funny how clueless some guys are.
I didn’t care for the way Rollo beat this one to death, but the point is valid and the comments have laid things out much more succinctly Women have the ticket, and we’re here to analyze how they play it, in frame-by-frame slo-mo detail. But men have a few tickets up their sleeve as well, and even at this point I don’t think there are very many men who wish they were women. Meanwhile just one point about Kavanaugh people may be missing. This smear-job is not just aimed at bringing him down. It’s a warning to the next guy,… Read more »

That’s why lol is the winning response.
lol is in fact a handy all-purpose default response at work or play. Sad that eye-rollling meanwhile has gotten a bad rap as too contemptuous and passive-aggressive.
lol without a snarky tone works fine to deflect all sorts of silly criticisms
lotf, I laugh all the time in real life
“Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.”
O.B.I.T. Smear.campaigns are very popular, and.like most ( devious ) popular things, the nastier aspects seem to stick around. SC confirmations have become a circus, and this stretches all the way back to Bork. Nobody complained much.when.Garland was snuffed out without confirmation hearings, and like I always say, don’t cry foul when fuckery begets more.fuckery,.as fuckery becomes the rule and not the exception. I have no.clue what kavanaugh did 36 years ago and in.a.rational world it would not matter. One thing I make sure to impress upon young men is the fact that society isn’t all that big on letting… Read more »

Feminists are the foot soldiers of the Equalists…
This is not about Kavanaugh qua Kavanaugh or #metooism.
It is about the Golden Ticket – the magic vote to change 51/49 to 49/51. It is all about delay until after the midterms and they think they will pick up a couple of senate seats…
Well then, that settles it. Kavanaugh doesn’t deserve ” equal ” treatment.😁 so…fuck him(?). I agree that this confirmation is turning into a feminist themed spectacle, but my larger point is that men, regardless of political ideology, have consistently dropped the ball wrt rationality and reason. This is supposed to come with.consequences long term, and it empowers feminism. Making your enemy stronger isn’t a great strategy as far as I can tell. This is also why there’s so much hand wringing over the midterms. But to me it’s more a matter of history repeating itself. Hard to duck responsibility as… Read more »

Nope. Exactly backwards. Because fewer and fewer feminists are equalists.

men, egardless of political ideology, have consistently dropped the ball wrt rationality and reason.
Rationality is difficult. Rationalization is easy. Especially when females are involved.
This holds true from the micro case of one man all the way up to the national level.
Agree.

What a slave thinks is irrelevant to its master.
The whole ” equalist ” thing in the sphere has perplexed me for years. Guys decrying teh equalists while simultaneously complaining about unfair advantages that others have. So, what’s the solution? No equal treatment under law? I don’t get it. What individuals think is inconsequential. It’s what they can do under law. When ” equality ” is removed for whatever reason ( usually because of ideological considerations ), shit will go.downhill for everyone eventually – the pace differing, but the end destination is pretty much the same. Like most things in life, feminism is only the master of people that… Read more »

Sometimes. “The Future Is Female” is a popular feminist slogan. It is not equalist.
…. Ever hear of a ” slave revolt “???

It’s what they can do under law.
The “law” is just an expression of who has the most power.
So trying to destroy ” equality “, throwing the baby out with the bathwater, will have unintended consequences.
It’s exactly those consequences “they” wish to avoid. Recursive to “law”… The battle is joined.

Feminists are the foot soldiers of the Equalists… Nope. Exactly backwards. Because fewer and fewer feminists are equalists. What a slave thinks is irrelevant to its master. JBP talks a lot about the equal opportunity vs equality of outcomes. Blax is also mistaking equal opportunity for young men under the law vs. equality of outcomes for those young men. Feminism was originally equality of opportunity for women in the workforce. then equality of outcomes in the workforce, then, now, Feminine Supremacism and Sheryl Sandberg as a figurehead. And Tess Holliday sitting over there in the corner eating a cake, and… Read more »

Please don’t do that.
I.didn’t way anything about opportunity because I wasn’t talking about opportunity. I specifically stated equal treatment under law. It’s an important point because it’s how people/men are controlled – based on treatment under law(s).
It’s not really about ” power ” because that power is an.illusion easily shattered if enough 1) understanding of the problems are recognized, and 2) if enough people can be rational and fairminded.
When fairnindedness is ridiculed, it’s predictive that we are heading towards a scenario where everyone will lose – either now, or in the future. History says so.

Imagine… John Lennon smiles at you, but still wishes he had a (warm?) gun.
Belief in a thing makes it powerful and real inside one’s head.
Re: Lennon, he should’ve gotten a carry permit. He could’ve attained one more.easily than I could in NYC. But from the description of how he was shot, seems like it wouldn’t have helped.
Game rule: protect ya neck.

Q.E.D.
@SJF: The same sentence caught me in the same loop. I now think Rollo pulled a fast one: he advised (prescriptive!) men to look for what golden tickets they may have . . . perhaps tickets manufactured from what they’ve mined.
That is, looks/money/status are certainly tickets for men.
