Some of you may have come across news regarding the new Miss Germany. If you were expecting a young, slim, hot blonde, you would be sorely disappointed. Instead, the winner was a 39-year-old and very unattractive Iranian. If the winner of a national beauty contest looks worse than the average 18-year old in your country… Continue reading The Limitations of Humiliation Rituals
We truly are living in the end times. The other day, I read that Vice is shutting down. Vice has been integral to the Western way of life in the last two decades and shaped culture like no other journalistic outlet. Not even a multi-million cash injection by our favorite Jew investor George Soros could… Continue reading Vice Media, Paragon of Journalistic Integrity, is Shutting Down
Sometimes, guys ask me for advice on how to pick a girlfriend. No, not in the abstract but when they have a chick at hand and want to get some objective feedback from a third party. These are either guys who have been reasonably successful with women but also guys who just so happened to… Continue reading Once a Bitch, Always a Bitch

Looking back, it is quite astounding how much worse the dating experience for the average (!) guy has gotten due to technology. If you were a boomer, the women you interacted with met so few men that you probably had a chance somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 of marrying the first woman you made a… Continue reading Dating Before, During, and After Apps
OpenAI recenty announced “Sora“, their video-generation tool. The landing page contains a few video snippets. (I particularly like the clip showing two battling pirate ships in a cup of coffee.) While this and the other clips may seem whimsical, the implications are quite staggering. Let me walk you through a few. First, OpenAI heavily hamstrings… Continue reading High-Quality AI-Generated Videos Have Arrived

Today I looked up Paul Dini as I came across a discussion in which he was praised for his story-telling abilities. Skimming the Wikipedia article, I read the following about his personal life: Dini and his wife Misty Lee, a magician and voiceover actress, live in Los Angeles.

I do not think that anybody seriously questions that your level of success with women is primarily a question of looks, status, and money. This is the well-known LMS formula. Obviously, for a one-night stand, money and, perhaps, status are not the primary factors. If you are a broke Chad with very few future prospects,… Continue reading Picking Up Women and the Question of Social Rank
The other day I went to a somewhat exclusive recruiting event. It was almost eerie because almost all of the 15 guys in attendance where white. This does not happen by accident in tech. Instead, it takes effort and determination. The event took place at a five-star hotel and the company hosting us even booked… Continue reading Cougars and Gold-Diggers at the Luxury Hotel
