I received the following Tweet from a reader this week:
Hi Rollo, thanks for all of your amazing work. I think one topic that you have not touched upon in detail is the conflict between alpha widowhood and war bride dynamic. If women are constitutionally inclined to move on, then how can they remain sad about their ex alpha lovers? Even if alpha’s SMV was much higher than her, isn’t the whole point of the war bride dynamic is to enable a woman to move on and reproduce without lingering thoughts of her former lovers? This happened to me recently when I had to end a relationship due to unacceptable logistics (long distance). What followed was extreme anxiety on her part about losing me. So this contradicted with what I always hear about women moving on easily.
This was a great question, and one I haven’t addressed before (no, I haven’t written everything), so I thought I’d pick this one apart today.
The TL;DR version is this: Women only ‘widow’ for men that made an Alpha impression on them. If their previous Alpha was somehow ‘killed’ and replaced by a lesser man, their hindbrains resist that man’s authority over her while using her previous Alpha as the lesser man’s SMV (sexual market value) benchmark. In the most extreme examples, a woman who’s been forced to accept the authority of a lesser man who defeated her former Alpha will resist him and/or plot revenge for the idealized lover.
Historical accounts and various cultural fiction are rife with this archetypal story. The woman who is married off to a lesser man or becomes the War Bride of an undeserving rival (usually by subterfuge or sinister means) is an archetype because it reflects women’s deepest evolutionary, existential, fear – to have her Hypergamous sexual selection strategy forcibly chosen for her by a man (or men) who are undeserving or are suboptimal breeding prospects. As I mentioned, this is an existential fear for women; anything less than unilateral control over her own Hypergamous destiny is tantamount to rape. The fear is that she will spend her life raising the child(ren) of a suboptimal man.
War Brides
The premise of the War Brides dynamic is thus: Evolution selected for women who could more easily transition psychologically from one dominant male to another. In our chaotic ancestral past women and girls were a commodity to be preserved for a conquering tribe. While men or boys were either killed or enslaved, fertile age women would be preserved as spoils of conquest for superior, invading, men. Simply put, women have reproductive value – men (and often their sons) were mostly obstacles in the way of resource acquisition and those reproductive opportunities.
That may seem like a bleak proposition to a Blue Pill conditioned mind today. We want to believe in some egalitarian dream of humanism and cooperation, but our evolved, ancestral past is responsible for what we are today in terms of base biological and psychological imperatives. I first proposed this theory in War Brides:
“Evolution has largely selected-for human females with a capacity to form psychological schema that preserve their psyches from what would otherwise afflict them with debilitating anxiety, guilt, and the stresses resulting from being continuously aware of their own behavioral incongruities. Evolution selects-for solipsistic women who are blissfully unaware of their solipsism.”
A lot of critics of the Red Pill make two key mistakes in their assessment of basic truths. One is that we don’t fully consider the dynamic, and/or two, we think too much about it. The fundamentals we consider about female nature, with respect to women’s psyches, are rooted in our evolutionary past. So, when I deconstruct certain aspects of that nature I have to ask the question, “why would a dynamic be something beneficial to women and/or our species on whole?” When I consider Hypergamy, female solipsism, women’s collectivist mindset, or any number of other characteristics the question I’m going to ask is why is this dynamic still present in modern women, and what are the outcomes of that dynamic in today’s environment?
Look at the obesity epidemic in western cultures today. 68% of adults in the U.S. are overweight today and 34% are morbidly obese. Childhood obesity is at an all time high. Evolutionarily speaking this is the result of how our metabolism evolved to solve certain environmental challenges we faced. Back then food was scarce. Finding a way to insure we fed ourselves and our tribe was at a premium and our biology adapted to give us the best chance of survival. Today this metabolism is a liability in an environment where food is plentiful and what we need to do to get it is much less strenuous. That’s the quick way to illustrate what I’m getting at in the War Brides dynamic:
Given the harsh realities that women had to endure since the Paleolithic era, it served them better to psychologically evolve a sense of self that was more resilient to the brutal changes she could expect to be subjected to. Consider the emotional investment a woman needs to put into mothering a child that could be taken away or killed at a moment’s notice. Anxiety, fear, guilt, insecurity are all very debilitating emotions, however it’s women’s innate psychology that makes them more durable to these stresses. Statistically, men have far greater difficulty in coping with psychological trauma (think PTSD) than women. Why should that be? On the face of it you may think that men’s better ability to rationally remove themselves from the emotional would make them better at coping with psychological trauma, but the reverse is actually the case. Women seem to have a better ability to accept emotional sacrifice and move on, either ignoring those stresses or blocking them entirely from their conscious awareness. Women possessing a more pronounced empathic capacity undoubtedly served our species in nurturing young and understanding tribal social dynamics, however it was also a liability with regards to a hostile change in her environment. Stockholm Syndrome is far more pronounced in female captives, why should that be? Because women’s ancestral environment dictated the need to develop psychological mechanisms to help them survive. It was the women who could make that emotional disconnect when the circumstances necessitated it who survived and lived to breed when their tribe was decimated by a superior force. This is also known as the War Bride dynamic; women develop an empathy with their conquerors by necessity.
So how does this relate to the Alpha Widow dynamic? Let’s parse that out a bit.
Alpha Widows
Alpha Widows are women who’ve had an Alpha man in their past make such an impression upon them that any man that comes along after him must essentially fight with that impression in order to replace him as the optimal Alpha in her life. This is usually the man a woman pines for from her Party Years. Often he’s the first guy who ever fulfilled her Hypergamous dance card. Generally, this man is at least her perceptual ideal of the sexual selection criteria she was prioritizing during that phase of her life. Usually this guy is her sexual ideal as well. That sexual impact forms a strong psychological attachment because the memories of the sex she had are associated with hormonal triggers. The memories of a significant Alpha male are enough to prompt a physical arousal response in women.
Furthermore, that Alpha impact is so significant it can alter her future sexual strategy for every man who comes after him. This is one reason women generally have a Plan B man on hold should that Alpha ideal not present himself, or should he not be ‘tamable‘ by her in the long term. Women’s long term sexual strategies tend to be punctuated by holding out for their ‘soul mate’ who also happened to be the best sex she’d ever had. Lesser men who follow in his wake are simply contingency plans. In today’s feminine-primary social order, where women are encouraged ‘never to settle for less than they deserve‘, we see generations of women experiencing the consequences of this Alpha widowhood. In fact, we go to great efforts societally to placate to it, to lessen the impact of it, and to plan contingencies for it.
But where does that leave us?
One reason I detailed the War Brides dynamic in my earliest writing was because I’d had so many men ask me this question; ‘Why is it that women can so easily move on after a breakup? We were together for years and it’s like she never even knew me now!‘ The ugly, visceral truth of this is that women are far less convicted to feel remorse, guilt or shame over abandoning (Beta) men who didn’t meet their Hypergamous ideal. We all know the stories of the ‘ride or die‘ girl who would literally do anything for her man. I once had a reader link me a story about a woman who stole a police car whose arrested boyfriend was handcuffed in the back seat. There are definitely women who will help their man bury the bodies. However, that man almost universally is that woman’s Hypergamous, Alpha ideal. And this is where the power of Hypergamy comes into the equation.
Women’s prime reproductive imperative is consolidating in the long term on a man who best embodies her Hypergamous ideal. Even now I’m not sure readers really understand the influence Hypergamy has over women. Even factoring in the War Brides dynamic, there will always be women who will literally kill for a man who best exemplifies what she believes is (or was) the best she could ever do Hypergamously.
I covered some of this in SMV Ratios & Attachment. Hypergamy influences women’s concept of love, so much so that it forms the basis of who they will allow themselves to feel ‘love’ for when it comes to reproductive opportunities. If a man embodies this Alpha ideal no substitute will replace him, unless another man exceeds the previous man’s Alpha impact.
So, how does this modify the War Brides dynamic? Hypergamous imperatives can supersede the War Brides phenomenon in that it incentivizes women to mate guard and even kill a rival to preserve a long term reproductive opportunity with an idealized Alpha man. We can add layers of social and moral doctrines to this (marriage, tribe, religion), but it’s all really embellishments or a cover story for what’s really a biological phenomenon.
Women who monogamously pair with Beta men are far less motivated to feel remorse over that man’s death or replacement by a more Alpha rival. This is where the War Brides dynamic comes in full. Hypergamy never seeks its own level and if a woman’s lesser man is defeated by more Alpha rival this only gives her a better excuse for pivoting into that superior man’s Frame. That may seem duplicitous and self-serving, but this is the ugly, visceral truth, remember? The inverse of this is that Hypergamy dictates that women will only become Alpha Widows for worthy (Alpha) men – and sometimes even the fantasy of that ideal man is enough to replace a lesser man.
So, it follows that the degree to which a woman becomes an Alpha Widow or more easily adopts a War Brides mentality is directly related to what her perception of her former partners was. Regret, remorse and jealousy are reserved for what a woman’s hindbrain believes is her ideal reproductive opportunity. In light of this I’ll have to add some caveats to both the Alpha Widow and War Bride dynamics. Neither are mutually exclusive of the other, and both depend on a woman’s perception of the man (men) involved.
IMO, the 22 convention is opening a can of worms, it is hard enough to train a woman in a 1 x1 discussion , virtually impossible to “mansplain” TRP to an audience of women .

I have an interesting theory with regards to Yoga pants: Yoga pants are a blatant view into the abyss(hypergamy) sometimes non red pill guys understand this viscerally, she is always looking for something genetically better and hence she is showing her genetic best, it’s a visceral signal. It’s the abyss because even married women wear them out to the stores, etc. I don’t think women intend this blatantly it’s just their programming to always be looking for something better.

There is an excellent example of this in modern times: radical islamists groups.
On one hand, there is boko haram in nigeria who kidnaps girls and forces them to marry. The girls are opposed to it and try to escape, despite the threat of death.
On the other hand, theres ISIS. Im sure most people here have heard the stories about western women leaving their country and their comfortable lives to join and marry ISIS fighters.
Ask yourself, why would women risk their lives to leave one group, yet risk their lives to join the other?

I think the yoga pants fad is more about fem powerment than optimising hypergamy,
I think the motives of a 54 year old PT wearing yoga pants to hospital work might not completely be the same as the motives of a 24 year old college student wearing yoga pants to class on campus. But I could be wrong, because they are all girls.
@Boulderhead, Fox: 40 or so years ago women wore miniskirts. What do you suppose the motive was? Different or the same from wearing tights now?
“Look at ME! Look at ME!” might be one reason…does that have anything to do with hypergamy?
@ AR “40 or so years ago women wore miniskirts. What do you suppose the motive was? Different or the same from wearing tights now?” Sure, hypergamy always has something to do with everything. It’s a feature not a plan. I loved the miniskirts and bellbottom hip huggers shake it don’t break it baby!

The fempowerment thing is a refusal to shave the legs and pits for any man. The miniskirt required regular shaving and pantyhose.

Could be,or even at the convenience store or fast food place. This is the disconnect with the thought, I dress for my job and so do women. Gong ,cats are not dogs!!!
What to do in that situation?
When she talks at me, I’d Thulsa Doom relaxedly stare into (not at) her eyes and only her eyes. Hold the gaze, nod a little when needed, until she breaks gaze, pees a little or both.
Oh I wish you a quick convalescence. Sound like your making the best of it.
@EhIntellect
I’m out of the system and doing my own pace now,when you are your own boss the boss is even tougher.
While I was in there (I know they saved my life) it felt like incarceration. They release from physical rehab much in the same way, first bathroom independence,then mobility, next kitchen duties (this was the toughest for being treated like an imbecile) . A constant barrage of following their schedule,blood tests,pill regimens and exercise sessions.

How’d you keep your peace of mind through it all? How do you keep your peace of mind now?

@Eh “How’d you keep your peace of mind through it all? How do you keep your peace of mind now?” I was angry about all of it there were some things that really pissed me off,mostly I keep it to myself. The reality is every one of us has our own shit to deal with and some of us take on as many riders as we can. The whole time I was on my back all the people that I had helped over the years came in to see me,even the ones I neglected when they were down and out.… Read more »
Boulderhead, “It is time to simplify life down to the essentials and this may never get done.“ Testify, brother Boulderhead! Thanks for sharing that. Let me riff cuz I think a lot about this stuff. Yeah but does it need to get done? It’s like to what end must it get done? The judgement of your life is kinda exposed already with your bedside visitors. You’ve taken care of the things that matter most, that shit we take for granted until the chips are down and we realize money and n-counts and stack memorization and zits (cough, j, cough) pale… Read more »
“You’ll be remembered not by what you didn’t do rather what you’ve done.” Yeah, “no one’s interested in something you didn’t do.” A lyric cemented in my psyche, going way back, in a song by The Tragically Hip, “Wheat Kings” Makes all the sense in the world. Hey, that would be great song to sing for Karaoke. https://youtu.be/agr_wTBvhJs https://youtu.be/ajW5B72EMik Wheat Kings The Tragically Hip Sundown in the Paris of the prairies wheat kings have all their treasures buried And all you hear are the rusty breezes pushing Around the weather vane Jesus In his Zippo lighter, he sees the killer’s… Read more »
I had some free time today. I watched the noon speech/press conference on TV, until my continuous glucose monitor warmed up, I punched in my two calibrations for my blood sugar, headed to the gym and listened on XM radio and then my phone earbuds at the gym. Life is Beautiful with red pill lenses. Trumps press conference. A little dust up with with Jim Acosta/CNN and the young single girl white house intern handling the microphones. And then the press and white house White- Knighting for her. She was cute. And then the new acting justice department Attorney Genereal… Read more »
I could only bench press 225 without a spotter today.
@Eh Thanks for that Man. couple things ,don’t under any circumstances 5th step or make verbal amends to your wife. If you can find a red pill mens only meeting do it if not consider starting one. “Last week a guy asked my wife how long we were dating and when she was going to leave me” You will get this from blue pill suckups,probably harmless until they do it in front of you then it is blatant disrespect and needs to be shut down quickly. I had a kid tell my wife he felt sorry for her,he was to… Read more »
She: “…a guy asked me how long we were dating and when I was going to leave you”
This is aggressive flirting and Boyfriend Destroyer Game. You shut it down with: “No big deal. He’s just desperate.”
@SJF
” until my continuous glucose monitor warmed up,”
I’ve been listening to podcast by an American MD – Peter Attia. He also wears a continuous glusose monitor. Mostly because he’s a science geek I think. He’s a great listen
Good morning fellas, Regarding dudes hitting on my wife, boyfriend destroyer style. Thanks for the insight. I’m probably telling you something y’all know we’ll already but let the village idiot have the podium. It happens routinely, they never ever flirt in front of me, they mine my wife routinely for information about my psyche not hers, how big an asshole I am, she’ll tell me soon after. It’s a balance game. Alpha don’t care if wife or gf is being hit on because he’s got more options, right? She should mateguard, right? Alpha is cool and confident and knows where… Read more »
“I could only bench press 225 without a spotter today.”
Whats your usual bench?
“Whats your usual bench?”
Actually I was joking and prideful. 225 is my max with three reps without a spotter. I hope to get up to 245 by the end of the year. Hell, I might as well shoot for 250.
I have “fast twitch” muscle. I wasn’t increasing much until recently. Back in college when I had more testosterone floating around I went from 185 to 265 in 18 months.
Rollo – I’ve heard you say that ‘if a woman wants to have sex with you, she’ll find a way,’ but that’s not quite true. I’m Roman Catholic and will only sleep with my wife. As a virgin, I once faced a courtroom accused of violent sexual abuse. I had never even touched the woman in question, but had rebuffed her sexual advances. I nearly lost everything fighting the case – which came at the height of the #metoo craze. My observation is that male indifference is actually worse than rape for many women. But as far as men are… Read more »
“My observation is that male indifference is actually worse than rape for many women.” Alex, thank you for your comment. As the saying goes, the opposite of love isn’t hate. It is indifference. Around here it’s commonly understood that women prefer feelings, any feelings, good and bad, alternately, to understand and function in their world and will create all that if needed without an ounce of self-recrimination or reflection. Regarding rejecting a woman, dealing with a woman’s bad feelings, her validation needs and vindictiveness is a skill well learned early. We don’t talk much about avoiding destructive women outside of… Read more »
