About five years ago I wrote a post called You Need Sex. In that essay I asserted a few key points about the importance of a healthy sex life for men. If I’m honest I kind of expected most of the reactions I got from that post and even now it remains one of my more contentious pieces. Even when I was in my Blue Pill youth in the 80s and 90s I’d run across the guys who always wanted to deemphasize sex in some reverse-psychology effort to get women to believe that they were deeper than the guys who just wanted to bang them. These were the guys who’d listen to a girl say something like, “I don’t see why sex is such a big deal to guys” or “Am I just a piece of ass to you?“, they’d take it to heart, and then construct some kind of personalized Game around how they respected women and wanted to really relate with them ‘beyond the sexual’.
That’s exactly what the Blue Pill teaches guys; they should always defer to, empathize with and identify with the feminine. This is Blue Pill conditioning at its most basic. It is a boy/man’s imperative to place women’s existence as more important than his own – and with men’s innate protection instincts for women this Blue Pill training is key to establishing a gynocratic social order.
But guys also have to find some way to set themselves apart from the competition in the Blue Pill sexual marketplace. They have to find someway to make themselves unique in how unlike ‘typical‘ guys they are. The miscalculation is, of course, the belief that the more alike, the more they identify, with (as?) women the likelier a woman would select them for intimacy and reproduction.
Men are natural problem solvers. It’s part of our evolved firmware to look for solutions to challenges in our environment. This makes us constructive, creative, often innovative and more ready to take risks. It also makes us competitive and that competitiveness extends to the sexual marketplace. So it’s not too much of a stretch to see how Blue Pill conditioned young men might look for creative ways to outdo one another in the ‘female-identification olympics.
One way this identification competition gets pushed to new heights is in how well a man might better devalue and abase his own sexual strategy to better accommodate that of the woman he believes will appreciate it. Taken to the binary extreme this means finding some way to devalue all men’s sexual natures. What better way to set oneself apart from other guys than to not be a guy? What better way to empathize with the feminine than to tear down the gender women say they despise?
Does all that seem kind of ridiculous? I used to think this way when I was younger. There was a time I might’ve even jumped on the “masculinity is toxic/confusing/outdated/outmoded/ridiculous” train because I truly believed it was the way to a woman’s vagina heart and mind. Even in the 80s and 90s this was a popular misconception. It wasn’t until I’d been through my first bad breakup that I realized the truth. Then I had nothing to lose by making myself more important than the women I was idealizing and behold! The women I wanted, wanted me – sexually to be sure, but they wanted to lock me down in commitment.
In my 20s I had unwittingly shifted from one sexual strategy to another, and I liked the change. It didn’t happen overnight. I had to learn to adopt the attitude, the swagger, the character that would get me laid, but I found that the most important part of playing the game well was putting my own desires well above those of any woman.
Suddenly I discovered I could easily nail the girls I could only jerk off to in my younger years. I can remember the time I first had sex with a girl I thought was the apex of hotness when I was in my teens. She was the best friend of the girlfriend of the drummer in the band I was in then. Both were swimsuit models and I thought I’d finally reached the goal. It wasn’t until after I dumped her to get with a centerfold model that I knew I’d set my sights too low.
Does that sound like a humblebrag? If you’re still held back by a Blue Pill mindset it probably will. I mentioned on a podcast recently that a majority of men will never know sex as anything but a mitigated, compromised transaction. They’ll never know what it’s like to have a woman lust after them. They’ll never experience the dilated eyes of a woman that would give anything to please him in that moment. Not because she’s obligated, but because her ego is validated at the same time her body is aching to have sex with him.
Strategic Pluralism Theory
According to strategic pluralism theory (Gangestad & Simpson, 2000), men have evolved to pursue reproductive strategies that are contingent on their value on the mating market. More attractive men accrue reproductive benefits from spending more time seeking multiple mating partners and relatively less time investing in offspring. In contrast, the reproductive effort of less attractive men, who do not have the same mating opportunities, is better allocated to investing heavily in their mates and offspring and spending relatively less time seeking additional mates.
From a woman’s perspective, the ideal is to attract a partner who confers both long-term investment benefits and genetic benefits. Not all women, however, will be able to attract long-term investing mates who also display heritable fitness cues. Consequently, women face trade-offs in choosing mates because they may be forced to choose between males displaying fitness indicators or those who will assist in offspring care and be good long-term mates (Gangestad & Simpson, 2000). The most straightforward prediction that follows is that women seeking short-term mates, when the man’s only contribution to offspring is genetic, should prefer muscularity more than women seeking long-term mates.
from Why Is Muscularity Sexy? Tests of the Fitness Indicator Hypothesis
The latter quote here is a simple outline of Hypergamy, but the first part, Strategic Pluralism Theory is what I want to focus on today because this is where the “sex is no big deal” cop out derives from for men.
The first sexual strategy, the one in which a higher SMV (sexual market value) male can enjoy the sexual experience of many women is a strategy predicated on what our most basic, evolved, biological instinct directs us to. It served ancestral men better to ‘hit it and quit it’ and move on to the next girl as expediently as possible for a variety of reasons. This is also a reason why women’s Hypergamous filtering is a base part of women’s sexual selection process today. The investment cost of becoming pregnant was so high that it became part of women’s evolved firmware to be hypersensitive to reproduction cues as well as parental investment cues (provisioning resources) to ensure survival of herself and her offspring. If you ever wonder why rape is such an existential fear for women you have to understand that this fear is written deep into women’s evolved mental firmware because of men overriding this filtering process by violence.
The first archetype of Strategic Pluralism Theory we could day is the Alpha archetype. This is the guy who has the luxury, by effort or genetic lottery, to pursue what I’d speculate was our ancestors’ pre-agrarian, hunter-gatherer sexual imperative. This is what guys like to call the “Natural” with women. Thanks so any number of intersexual advantages (looks, Game, social proof, preselection) it serves him best to spread the seed and women are only too happy to enjoy him as well. He represents the 20th percentile in the 80/20 Pareto distribution of the sexual marketplace.
This side of Strategic Pluralism Theory reflects the r aspect of the r/K reproductive theory. A lot of well meaning Red Pill theologians seem to think that r/K reproductive selection is only limited to the female side of the equation. I’d also point out that this applies to the male side as well. Hypergamy is women’s evolved sexual strategy, however, I would argue that men’s innate, default sexual strategy is unlimited access to unlimited sexuality. This r strategy is manifested today in our base predilection for pornography. Untempered by societal restraints, Alpha sexual strategy is what men a majority would default to if given the choice.
More attractive men accrue reproductive benefits from spending more time seeking multiple mating partners and relatively less time investing in offspring.
I’m establishing this perspective to better illustrate the Beta side of Strategic Pluralism Theory. For sake of convenience I’m labeling men who fall into the ‘more attractive men’ category as Alphas. I don’t think this is too much of a stretch for most of my readers, but if you have a problem with this just consider the statistics laid out in the book Dataclysm. A majority of women rate 80-85% of men as “unattractive”. That last 15-20% are our ‘more attractive’ Alphas here.
This then leaves the remaining ‘less attractive men’ as the Beta cohort.
…the reproductive effort of less attractive men, who do not have the same mating opportunities, is better allocated to investing heavily in their mates and offspring and spending relatively less time seeking additional mates.
This then is the Beta mating strategy and if it sounds like the conventional idea of monogamy you’re not too far off. This is the K side of the r/K selection theory. Before I continue I want to stress that monogamy or non-exclusivity is not a value judgement in this essay. Alpha Fucks and Beta Bucks has male sexual strategy implications beyond women’s Hypergamy. I refer to Alpha and Beta as placeholder terms here.
For the Beta side of Strategic Pluralism the reproductive strategy is one that, in part, aligns with one side of Hypergamy. The 80% of ‘less attractive’ men find it necessary to compromise their biological imperative (unlimited access to unlimited sexuality) in order to successfully reproduce. This is the nuts & bolts of what is today being called “enforced monogamy”. While this idea is taken to absurd extremes by critics, the premise is rooted in Strategic Pluralism. Since monogamy serves the largest block of men’s reproductive efforts it follows that it would be the institutionalized standard for ‘civil’ society.
Monogamy is Beta
Monogamy is a social norm, if not an evolutionary norm. A lot has been written about how monogamy in its present incarnation – one man, one woman – is really the result of a post-agrarian social order that optimized the sexual strategy of Beta men. In essence socially-enforced monogamy serves the largest population of Beta males.
However, the tradeoff for women was long term provisioning, protection (in as far as the man was capable) and parental investment – all thing conducive to sustainable futures for women and their children. All that was expected of women was a compromise on the Alpha arousal side of Hypergamy. And naturally, Alpha men and most women found ways to circumvent this socio-sexual adaptation that benefitted women in spite of Beta men.
I had the above video passed along to me by a Twitter follower about 2 weeks ago. I think he expected me to take issue with how she was defending ‘gold-diggers’ but, ironically, she unwittingly detailed the basics of Hypergamy and Strategic Pluralism Theory. She’s not wrong. Women’s sexual strategy is optimized in conditions of polygamy and polyandry, while men’s sexual strategy – the Beta sides anyway – is optimized in a condition of socially enforced monogamy.
What’s really ironic is that this girl discounts what so many men discount when they consider Hypergamy. She couches her total perspective on the Beta Bucks, long-term provisioning side of Hypergamy while conveniently omitting the Alpha Fucks side of Hypergamy. The only consideration she has is for resource transfer – again perpetuating the Beta sex experience – and ignoring the fact that even poor men still get to bang women like her if they’re “hawt’. ‘Monogamy is made to benefit men‘, no it’s made to benefit Beta men; Alpha men solve the reproductive problem irrespective of (in spite of) socially enforced monogamy. ‘Broke men don’t get women‘,…unless they’re hot broke men.
I’ve seen Jordan Peterson and more than a few notable evo-psych professors make a similar mistake. They deliberately make Hypergamy solely about the Beta Bucks side of a dualistic mating strategy. Mostly this misdirection is due to personal bias or a want to present the feminine in a positive light. But likewise we also tend to see focus of men’s sexual strategy centering on what long term resources a man has to measure his worth by. Historically, women have generally been the losers in a social order based on a monogamy that tries to ensure that the most men (majority Beta) are solving the reproductive problem. Because women lacked the same resource generating capacity of men, because up until 50 years ago women needed men to solve the Beta Bucks side of Hypergamy, monogamy was a at least a workable solution to their own reproductive problem.
In 2018 this is no longer the case. For all of the bleating of women wanting a ‘good man’ once they exit the cock carousel, the reproductive problem they’re trying to solve isn’t founded in the Beta Bucks side of Hypergamy it’s on the Alpha Fucks side. For as much as the women in this video tried to defend their mercenary sexual strategy of being justifiable gold diggers they really didn’t need to. All of the provisioning needs side of Hypergamy is relatively provided for for women in western cultures today.
The monogamous priority – the one that tried to ensure that most Beta men reproduced – that priority has now shifted to a neo-polyandry. This new social mechanic attempts to solve the Alpha Fucks side of the reproductive problem for the largest number of women. Just as patriarchal monogamy attempted to aide men who wouldn’t otherwise reproduce, the new polyandry seeks to ensure that even the lowest SMV women are entitled to breed with an Alpha male of their choosing.
Once all social stigma and religious buffers were removed from Hypergamy (since the Sexual Revolution) it has been a rapid shift from a male-beneficial monogamy that’s been the social norm for millennia to a form of polyandry that benefits the female sexual strategy.
I’ll be continuing this post in the next essay, but before I leave this essay let me reiterate the Cardinal Rule of Sexual Strategies: For one sex’s strategy to be fulfilled the other’s must be compromised or abandoned. Think of this on a sociological meta-scale.
It’s obvious where this is going, on a societal scale. Provisioning for women (and their bastard Alpha spawn) will be locked down through single mother welfare benefits, and/or giving preference to women in education and employment for the “choice” jobs. Beta men will collectively have to work (and die at) all the shit jobs and pay taxes to cover the former, whilst nursing blue balls.
As a millenial I could see that most guys around me starts to see masculinity as a bad thing, even being ashamed of, I once rejected a BPD girl and she started giving me shit test mocking my masculine behaviour lol, I showed the redpill to my close friends, they prefer to stick with their beta oneitis lifestyle, I have no more close friends , sorry for bad english im french
@Rollo: I’m with Palma here. Just because they can be their own beta (or have the State do it), they typically loathe it. That isn’t to say they necessarily like having an actual beta around but there are degrees to it. In some of the examples you’ve used in “Saving the best” scenarios, the woman is clearly upset that she is losing her Beta provision after the “discovery”. Even if they don’t usually want to fuck the beta at least not regularly (again, there are degrees to it), I think they have a real hard time with being alone (and… Read more »
Reading your essay, I see that I am firmly in the 80% of Betas. When I was in my early thirties, I hit a period of career success after years of struggle (UK published cartoonist) and acted Alpha without realising it, attracting a beautiful woman as my wife. We had a kid, moved to her country (Netherlands) and I turned into the classic Beta husband. The events leading up to the divorce and my new status as an indentured servant–living in her country, complying with her demands–followed almost precisely the trajectory as you lay out in your essays. You absolutely… Read more »

@ Rollo “ The new polyandry seeks to ensure that even the lowest SMV women are entitled to breed with an Alpha male of their choosing”. And how are they going to achieve this? State provisioning via beta males may go some way to financing the CC lifestyle and single Alpha Male baby mamas, but they still have to be attractive enough to capture the attention of an Alpha Male who already has multiple mating opportunities even if only for a pump and dump. How and why are Alpha males who have their pick of top tier females going to… Read more »
The purpose of sexual reproduction is the survival of the species. Nothing more. All of the pleasurable aspects surrounding this objective evolved to support that objective. But pleasure is pleasure. Women, Cocaine and Sugar are alike in their ability to produce dopamine production in our brains. This is addictive, but not essential for the individual man to survive. All three are optional sources of pleasure. Except to further the human species, men do not need sex to live. I completely support the work of Rollo, but I do not think he has carried it to the logical end, yet. I… Read more »

I have also traits which are good for long-term relationship. Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and well paid job. In theory I shall be able to fulfill both sides of Hypergamy. However I find it very difficult for myself to commit to women. I see relationships as a slavery. You can have a good master and you can have a… Read more »
i agree with this essay 100%!!! I’ve been trying to tell guys for years that bc of divorce laws, women making their own money, and big daddy govt assistance programs, that the beta bucks side of hypergamy is dead. women don’t need or care about it anymore. now, it’s all about the alpha fucks side… meaning they all feel they deserve an alpha-even if they’re unattractive and even if they have to share the alpha man. THEY DON’T CARE AND WON’T SETTLE. this is why more and more women choose not to marry; they say, “I’m not willing to settle… Read more »

If a man.can’t see a ” point ” in sex/women, that’s a much, much bigger issue than Hypergamy, because it denotes a loss of understanding what a man is in his most basic form.

“Is it Blue Pill to want to have sex with someone you respect?”
Well generally yeah. Respect is usually meant in an egalitarian way. Respect her for what, exactly? No snark question.
Rollo’s article points to the sexual ineptitude of being Beta vs. the advantages of being that certain swagger guy, not appealing to higher ideals. There’s plenty of ways to do this RP stuff competently, though it all begins making yourself the prize.

“They have to find some way to make themselves unique in how unlike ‘typical‘ guys they are.” I disagree. Not with the fact that many are trying to be something “unique” or fashion themselves to stand out and appear more attractive. I do agree with that. The part I completely disagree with is WHY.

“The reason they do it is because they are not happy with themselves. They are not drawn toward a better vision of themselves. They are running away from themselves. They believe they are inadequate.”
Because their definition of “better” is in the FI’s frame. i.e. whether they realize it or not they are doing it to appeal to women, to have women instill a sense of adequacy in them by patting them on the head and telling them they’re a good boy. And then fucking them.
It’s babies, babies, babies, all the way down.
@excartooinst Think of it this way. If the courtiers flatter the King, should the King believe them? If the King, who assumes all responsibility for Realm, flatters his servants, what will they think of him? Where does respect fit in that? Masculine leadership is what women want. It’s not what men are taught to do. There’s an unnatural gap created between what is best for both sexes disappointing both.

The truth is that this process of “blue pill conditioning” cannot have an effect without the WILLFULL cooperation of those being “conditioned”.
How much agency do five year olds have?
I don’t agree that Blue Pill men try to feminize themselves in order to get laid. I think that they do it because they think that they will gain respect if they feminize themselves. The impulse to gain respect is a powerful motivator for men just like the impulse to be liked is a powerful motivator for women.
Women are taught to masculinize themselves, which result in them being liked less. Men are taught to feminize themselves, which results in them being disrespected, contrary to their expectations.
I’m their ideal selection for short-term mating…reasonably dominant.
I see relationships as a slavery. You can have a good master and you can have a bad master.
One of these statements doesn’t fit with the other.
“How much agency do five year olds have?”
The patriarchy was smashed nearly 100 years before women got the vote – by the Tender Years Doctrine.
I don’t get the sense that the current young generation of men 18-30 really care all that much about being respected.
I think they have a sense of ” wanting ” things, but not being able to do what’s necessary to get those things, because some of that is hard or frustrating or complicated. Too much thinking and planning and possible sacrifice.

“50+ n counts. N counts, Is that your scale to measure up a guy?”
Anyone thinking a high N count is necessary and/or sufficient for a man to “measure up” (aka, be alpha or high value or whatever) is misguided and/or confused.
HOWEVER… dont think for a second that a mans ability to consistently fuck attractive women is not CORRELATED with his overall desirability as a mate/sex partner.
It absolutely is.
This is why we often default to this heuristic.
Sure, like any heuristic, it does not tell the whole story.
But its not saying nothing either.

I just realized something important about dancing and demonstrating value…a progressive dance (which moves counter-clockwise around the dance floor…e.g., waltz, foxtrot, tango, country two-step, shuffle) is more difficult to do that a spot dance (which is done in one place on the dance floor…e.g., swing, rumba, chacha, salsa) because a man has to navigate traffic.

Dancing is GAY.
I agree with the first of what some have posted. Women always want a LTR/to get married. It doesn’t matter if their provisioning is taken care of. I think it is because evolution has programmed them to seek a man. The evolutionary reason is provisioning, bit the programming is still there even when they have provisioning. Like how people seek sex even when they don’t want to have children.
The current state of affairs favoring hypergamy will not hold indefinitely and will not become the new normal. This is for the same reason it hasn’t for the past 3000+ years. I think Heartiste pointed out that the social contract giving Betas access to sex and reproduction via monogamy was necessary to build civilization. Today civilization is holding because masses of men support all the necessary infrastructure. Certainly there is competition and one example is the situation Rollo points out – where men try to suck up to women as a strategy to get laid. Heartiste also points out that… Read more »
The young guys I know aren’t looking for respect. Thats the problem. Like frame.

They seek out validation and approval from those who gatekeep the authority.

It took dismantling the overarching structure of enforced monogamy to show that people really don’t do well without it. People don’t naturally make decisions with the bigger picture in mind. Now the question is, how do you put a replacement structure (of some sort) in place? It seems like an impossible task, given the current climate.

Brazil has had a lot of Colombians spilling over into the north, so much so that the Army has… Read more »

The current state of affairs favoring hypergamy will not hold indefinitely and will not become the new normal. This is for the same reason it hasn’t for the past 3000+ years.
Ok, so how about it becomes the new normal for only 50 – 100 years or so. No worries! What could go wrong?
Rollo’s looking at the bow of the container ship and noticing what direction it is heading. It’s a big picture, not really answered with grunts of “MAH GAME IS BEST”, either.
Dear feminist allies – sit down, shut up and do as you’re told:
If you find yourself confronted by a Hannah Gadsby type, be sure to ask “you’re not a tranny are you?, not that there’s anything wrong with that”.
Anonymous Reader – here is my take on it; Burner Prime – “This global genocide of men both eastern and western will serve the same function it has for millennia, to restore the natural proportional balance of males to females.” Burner Prime – yes eventually the natural family unit equilibrium will return to the west but it will likely take centuries for the balance to be restored. “Burner Prime – With her super massive overabundance of reproductive aged males, she (China) will unflinchingly throw millions of bodies against the US to achieve her aims.” That is a is a somewhat… Read more »

Time for private spaces and one’s own kingdoms. No one can be truly powerful in someone else’s home, playing by someone else’s rules.
The Vikings would not allow a young man to hold a sword until he demonstrated that he could dance. The problem with the petunias is clear: Hard work is the anvil upon which the iron of a man is forged. It builds the iron of character, body, and ingenuity.

If you find yourself confronted by a Hannah Gadsby type, be sure to ask “you’re not a tranny are you?, not that there’s anything wrong with that”.
For extra spice, ask something along the lines of “Will you be transitioning soon?”.

But no the Chinese will not be sending in their masses of unwed men to invade the USA. That would be both tactically and strategically pointless and weak.
Paging Robert Heinlein…
Reality check : economic irrelevance isn’t driven by feminist ( or communist/socialist or Mexicans or flat earthers ) open your eyes and look in front of your face. America’s economic obliteration is driven by men, specifically greedy men and their puppets. The puppet army is massive and has been growing steadily as wages stopped doing so. I point to France. And Britain. And Spain. And Greece. Only Americans haven’t revolted against this oligarchy shitstorm, so collectively we all will suffer in the end.

Rollo I think you are a good advocate for the Manosphere. People listen to you even though sometimes it may feel like you are trying to hammer in a nail with a wet fish. I have my own blog but I also voice myself on Quora (yes good ole Quora). I swallowed the Red Pill about 6 months ago and at times it has been a hard pill to digest. On a platform like Quora I field questions about masculinity, being Alpha etc but when I start talking about hypergamy or the feminine imperative people put you in the same… Read more »
Palma God ( and Buddha and Allah and Jehovah and Yahweh..) Bless your clear vision. I cannot tell you how difficult it’s been to try to get men to see what’s happenings and where it’s headed. I’ve pretty much given up. All that fucking funny money is fueling this worldwide angst. Consumer debt is reaching record highs, which means people don’t have money….But they still have ” stuff “.

I was raised with a healthy respect for women (see lesbian sister and grandmother) but I always had that Beta mindset of “I’m a nice guy why is she being such a bitch?”. I then came to realise it was me and how society has lied to me about what it is to be a man. It was you, yes — not really society. Society is going to be what it is, and it is never ideal, regardless. What you control is you, and so that’s what you focus on. The societal context and its messages are still the same… Read more »
but by and large the rich can avoid taxes and the poor can’t. If you define “poor” to include people making less than a million dollars a year, your statement is true. [sarcasm off] “The Pew Center’s analysis of IRS data showed that in 2014, people with an adjusted gross income, or AGI, above $250,000 paid 51.6% of all individual income taxes, even though they accounted for only 2.7% of all returns filed.” “People with incomes between $100,000 and $200,000 paid 23.8% of the total taxes collected in 2011, up from 18.8% in 2000.” “People with incomes between $50,000 and… Read more »

If you want to talk about where the middle class is being bled, you have to look at education. In the U.S., state property tax pays for public schools and that is a heavy tax for many people. Even if you rent, property tax is paid out of your rent payments by the landlord, so you can’t escape it. Education costs are rising even faster than health care because there’s no brake on education costs–“for the chilllldrennn.” Of course, the wealthy often put their children in private schools, but they still have to pay the highest property taxes. You also… Read more »
@Sean It seems that you are describing how to figure things out on your own by utilizing manosphere resources. Nothing wrong with that, but you can face plateaus moving forward. Let me just note that having in-real-life guys to bounce things off of really helps. Mentors, buddies and a true tribe or a quasi-tribe goes a long way in moving forward with the red pill. When you are only six months in to Red Pill, be aware of your blind spots, the illusions that you hold on to, your subconscious feelings that you were brought up with and your “lied… Read more »

@Mineter Thanks, Blax. Interesting articles, but they don’t really paint the before/after scenes of a women’s social welfare society collapsing. It might have been pointed out on these very pages that some women were doing tricks for the price of a fancy sammich in Greece after the crisis and austerity measures. here’s a couple that should paint that situ for you…in complete detail… how bad does it have to be for girls to give up their sexual strategy completely?… on both sides… https://theintercept.com/2018/06/10/venezuela-crisis-sterilization-women-abortion/ https://www.thelily.com/venezuelan-women-are-resorting-to-desperate-measures-in-the-face-of-the-countrys-economic-crisis/ and THAT^^^ was 6 months ago… they’re well past the ‘just turn tricks to survive phase’…… Read more »
@HABD: that is quite grim. Incidentally there is a woman I saw several times in my gym, and she showed up relatively recently (some months ago). I opened her one of the first times and asked where she was and she is from Venezuela. She is married (at least has a ring) and has at least one kid about 6-year old. It really looked like her husband is healthy and fled the crisis (haven’t met husband). She is very hot… Very nice boobs, flat tummy, good waist-hip ratio, and has a REALLY nice bubble butt (and works at keeping it… Read more »
45% of Americans pay no federal income tax.
https://www.usnews.com/news/healthiest-communities/articles/2018-09-12/poverty-in-america-new-census-data-paint-an-unpleasant-picture
Poor folks pay no or practically no fed income tax. The wealthiest ( and no, 250,000 doesn’t mean you’re wealthy comparatively ) pay the least as a percentage. I pay more in taxes than Buffet and Gates as a percentage.
@Blax But the system starts to lose its progressivity at the very highest levels: In 2015, the effective rate peaked at 29.3% for taxpayers in the $2 million-to-under-$5 million group, then fell to 28.8% for the $5 million-to-under-$10 million group and 25.9% for those making $10 million or more. Generally speaking, effective tax rates fell across the board throughout most of the 2000s, though the highest-income tiers experienced the steepest drops. Effective rates on those same groups rose sharply, however, following enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. That law, part of the congressional deal that resolved the… Read more »
The direct income tax may be low, but then other taxes vat, fuel duty, utilities, property, etc… etc… swallow everything
America dodged the VAT. Fuel taxes vary from state to state…maybe 4-10 cents per llter…the feds take a share, too, thanks to Jimmy Carter, the second worst president.
I used to pull more, and hotter women, when I was young and broke. Transparently broke. Living in a trailer. In retrospect, it really seemed that it worked in my favor. I think these women really are turned on by losers. Now that I have a nice house and car, it’s as though that is all they see and can’t get past it. I am essentially the same person I was in other regards. I’m not the only one who asserts this. RSD Owen stated that he used to have a rented mansion in the Hollywood hills and he said… Read more »
@palmasailor All good questions. I only stopped being broke about 5 years ago, quite suddenly. But now I am in my 40s. Have not put on any weight, still have all my hair and teeth. But I think the ‘kind of person I am’ has changed. I’ve been in ‘work mode’ – running a business and generating resources instead of having a rock n roll lifestyle; the daytime mindset spills over everywhere and I think makes you a more sensible (and therefore boring) person, even if you still wear the same clothes and enjoy the same music. I am on… Read more »
@palmasailor I agree with all you wrote. I can act like I DGAF but I am clearly being pegged in category B before I open my mouth. Great question… I’m clear on my financial, business and creative goals, and I am really enjoying working towards them. I’m still very ambitious indeed and I don’t want to have to alter that course for anyone. As for my goals with women? I am more clear about what I don’t want than what I want. I don’t want marriage or kids. My first goal I would say honestly is to get back the… Read more »
@palmasailor hahahaha, your strategy made me laugh, in under the radar… that is class. 🙂 Honestly had not thought of that. I’m in the UK actually. I’ve had a good college try at online but am failing epically at it. Always do better in real life. I still get glances walking down the street, it’s hard to say whether it’s more or less than it used to be because I think my peripheral awareness and body language awareness is so much better than it used to be. I’m realizing that online should not be seen as a substitute for actually… Read more »

ASD Man, you crack me up sometimes. Where we are right now economically has nothing to do with ” political parties “.

This is what I try to explain, and usually our resident Reading Economic Genius will show up and tell me how full of shit I am , lol, while talking about theory that isn’t in practice, and hasn’t been so for over 30-40 years now.

“Just as patriarchal monogamy attempted to aide men who wouldn’t otherwise reproduce, the new polyandry seeks to ensure that even the lowest SMV women are entitled to breed with an Alpha male of their choosing.” I disagree on this point. The low SMV women may feel entitled, but in the ‘unlimited options’ sexual marketplace of now, while all the girls are holding out for an Alpha, the top few % good looking / alpha guys have so many options that they can afford to be picky. What people believe they are entitled to, and what they actually get, are two… Read more »
@palmasailor sounds good, we should be in touch. Is there a PM option on here? I am not seeing one.
Marc Goldwein, senior policy director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a research and advocacy organization. Goldwein has been wrong forever. I used to believe that shit, but no more. Interest costs already dwarf spending on many popular programs. For example, grants to students from low-income families for college total roughly $30 billion — about one-tenth of what the government will pay in interest this year. We’re spending about $30 billion too much on college grants. If interest rates increase, so will corporate taxes and gimme programs to the states will decline. We’ll probably put off infrastructure spending… Read more »
Married men seem to be more miserable alpha or beta.
Studies have shown that married men live longer. They’re just more willing to die.
This is the exact reason I omit specific, selected details about myself on Tinder such as my job and education. I know I am a good provisioning catch but want to be that alpha arousal catch. By omitting these details, any match I get I know is about my breeding potential “alpha” over my provisioning side. Once I meet with them I may tell them then about my job etc because it’s value added. If you fail to omit these details you know they’ve possibly (probably) met up with you for provisioning reasons. I just put “employed” on there and… Read more »
