Until not too long ago, you could find channels on YouTube that showed videos of the day-to-day life in various Western cities in the middle of the 20th century. For some reason, the ones I knew are now gone, probably because of the extremism on display. Yet, whenever you come across such footage, you cannot… Continue reading The Sweatpants-ification of Society
The phenomenon that fewer men than ever before are in employment is not new. However, I was under the impression that this only affects men with comparatively limited prospects on the labor market. In many Western countries, there are perverse incentives so that you are, in a strictly material sense, much better off if you… Continue reading Men Checking Out of Work
Imagine you binge watch Schwarzenegger’s 1980s movies, and walk away thinking that those movies were even better than you remember them — only to come to the completely opposite conclusion when watching his 1990s movies. Originally, I had planned to watch all movies in which this guy was the lead actor, but this is not… Continue reading Wokeism in Early-1990s Schwarzenegger Movies

In one of Schopenhauer’s books, he muses about old age, and the years in which you do not yet belong to the afterworld but more and more lose your foothold in the real world. The people around you die off one by one, and for everyone who dies there will not be anybody replacing them.… Continue reading Losing Friends
When you look at action-movie stars, there is probably nobody who had a better decade than Schwarzenegger had in the 1980s. I recently watched all of his 1980s movies, but not just for the sake of entertainment. Instead, I was also curious if there were obvious signs of Hollywood being up to its usual shenanigans… Continue reading Wokeism in 1980s Schwarzenegger Movies
Alek Novy left an excellent comment on the evolutionary reason behind women telling men to man up, and why it made sense in the past but not today. The text in block quotes is from me. The rest is his comment. 1) I think there was a lot of competition in the past as well,… Continue reading The Evolutionary Aspect of Women Telling Men to “Man Up” (by Alek Novy)
We have seen the subversion of all of culture. The visual arts are gone. Modern architecture looks absolutely horrible. Classical music was brought down. Even popular music has turned to shit. Nobody cares about novels anymore, and the last time movies made a serious splash was over 20 years ago. Similarly, the value of education… Continue reading The Price of Subversion is Irrelevancy

I recently received the following article request: I was wondering if you can write about insecurities (…). What are the top common insecurities among men aside from being short and how can men overcome these insecurities. I get the impression that some men will never be able to overcome their personal insecurities, thus will find… Continue reading Male Insecurities

Quite recently, the formerly great country of France was set ablaze by its millions of foreign-born doctors and astrophysicists. This wave of destruction had probably not even been seen in the second world war, considering how quickly France submitted to Germany back then. Of course, millions of non-French French getting a bit rowdy and, among… Continue reading Coudenhove-Kalergi and the Misunderstanding of the Role of Ethnicity in Society
A while ago I had an interesting conversation with a guy in his late 40s. He essentially lives a bachelor’s lifestyle but he has been seeing a woman ten years younger than him for years and on some kind of permanent casual basis. He made it clear to her that he has no interest in… Continue reading The Bachelor With Too Much Money
As I am currently on a Schwarzenegger binge, I watched Conan The Destroyer (1984) today. This movie did not get a particularly favorable critical reception, perhaps because it did not contain high-brow Nietzsche quotes, unlike the first one. Yet, if you have liked Conan the Barbarian (1982), you will most likely also enjoy its sequel,… Continue reading Do Not Find This Woman Attractive!

I had a very interesting consultation session a few weeks ago. It centered on leaving the pickup scene behind at or perhaps slightly after your peak, and the risk of missing this window. As I have real-world friends who are in the corresponding age range, i.e. roughly their mid-30s to early 40s, this was a… Continue reading The Off-Ramp in Pickup
When Skyrim came out, it did not take long until a sizable number of people seemingly spent more time with mods and just walking around than actually playing the game. A friend of mine mocked this by saying that he could just take a walk in a forest instead. Yet, if you do not live… Continue reading Green Grass, Environmental Primitivism, and Vidya Sales Figures
A quick Google image search for terms like “white couple” shows a surprising number of mixed-race couples, including pictures of white couples with a black baby. Of course, if you search for “black couple”, nothing like that will happen. I am sure this is a total coincidence, just like all those white woman/black man pairings… Continue reading The Effects of Propaganda: “This girl likes the black boy!”
For some reason YouTube shows me much more relevant videos nowadays. Perhaps this is due to the increased competition with alternative video hosting sites. Anyway, a topic that gets quite frequently commented on is that men seem less and less willing to not only marry women but to be in any kind of relationship. Conversely,… Continue reading Women: Trailer, Full Movie, and Raw Footage

After watching the Netflix documentary Arnold (2023), I looked into the state of body building, and what I found was quite remarkable. You could make a good argument this sport actually peaked before Schwarzenegger and that Frank Zane represents the pinnacle. With Schwarzenegger, body building perhaps jumped the shark. I don’t doubt that Schwarzenegger worked… Continue reading Modern Body Building Equals Institutionalized Humiliation

Netflix recently released a three-part mini-series on Arnold Schwarzenegger, which, I assume, all of you are familiar with. This mini-series has three parts, covering distinct phases in Schwarzenegger’s life: body builder, movie icon, and politician. Looking for a catchy alliteration, these parts are called athlete, actor, and American, which perhaps rolls off the tongue more… Continue reading Arnold (2023)
Yesterday, I watched part of the Xbox presentation on upcoming games, which I found hilariously bad. One of their allegedly most anticipated games is Fable, a remake or reimagining of an overrated game that is about twenty years old. Game reviewers were in awe of its sophisticated morality system. It presented you with some comical… Continue reading Can Ugly Female Characters Sell Video Games?

I recently read the autobiography of Cliff Bleszinski, better known as “CliffyB” and the creator of the Gears of Wars franchise, which was huge in the late 2000s. The story of this guy’s life is relevant even for those among my readers who have no interest in video games, however, as this guy, despite having… Continue reading The Tragedy of CliffyB: A Cautionary Tale about Women, Success, and Money
The other day I got an email from Scotty Flamingo, completely out of the blue. You may be familiar with him. I met Scotty in person when I visited NYC about a decade ago, and we had a lot of fun hitting the clubs together. He is has a small YouTube channel with quite a… Continue reading Scotty Flamingo is Back!
I just returned from a doctor’s appointment of my wife, which I attended in case there are any language issues. The visit went about as bad as you could imagine. My wife has recurring back pains, nothing overly serious, but she wanted to get a prescription for physiotherapy. The actual appointment was almost like a… Continue reading Medicine is a Nasty Subscription Business
I rarely watch TV shows, and even rarer is it that I stick to one until the very end. The only TV show I have been following for years has now drawn to a close, Succession, which is available on HBO but somehow also found its way into GTA. According to the intellekshual analysis on… Continue reading Looking Back on Succession (2018 – 2023)
When the scamdemic was pushed the hardest, gyms were forced to close. Back then, I did not have enough space for a little exercise corner at home, so my workout regimen suffered. I also had a few phases were I needed to put in some extra hours. Consequently, I gained a little bit of extra… Continue reading How to Lose Weight, For Real
As you have noticed, this year I fully support Pride Month. Today, this is more important than ever because the worst that could happen to the world would be if Trump won the 2024 election instead of senile Joe Brandon with his coked-up and highly criminal son Hunter as his running mate. Yet, the trans… Continue reading Support for the Trans Agenda is Waning
I recently picked up the remake of Resident Evil 4. The original is arguably one of the most important games in vidya history. It left quite an impression on me when I played it on the GameCube almost two decades ago. Capcom could have messed up this game in many ways but they did not.… Continue reading Notes on Resident Evil 4 (2023)
On my most recent trip I noticed a big group of teenage kids, and a few teachers, too. I do not know the actual age of these kids, but probably they were in the 10th grade, at most. Of course, I am aware that boys and girls mature differently, but if you do not work… Continue reading 16 Year-Old Boys and Girls
One of my acquaintances works in the penal system and he sometimes tells me about particularly remarkable, er, clients. The most recent stand-out was a brotha, in his words a pretty eloquent and superficially impressive character, not in the least comparable with a brotha from da hood. Yet, this guy seems to score high on… Continue reading Permissive Societies and the Brotha Dilemma

I have not written a lot about the legal challenges of esteemed PUAs on this blog, in contrast to my former blog on Blogspot. Of course, part of the reason is that the PUA scene is basically dead. It is also the case that after public backlash to maladjusted PUAs accosting women in public there… Continue reading Guest Post: The Rape Trial of the PUA “Bald and Bankrupt” (By Anonymous)
I recently watched The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) as I was curious about its quality. Movies based on video games tend to be complete garbage, and some rank probably among the worst movies ever made. There is even a German movie maker, Uwe Boll, who built a career out of producing absolutely horrific video… Continue reading The Subversion of Mario in “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” (2023)
Pickernanny just posted a detailed and highly accurate post on the correlation between porn-like sex and dealing with a cluster B-type woman, which I have decided to repost as an article to give it greater visibility. In light of Cheeky_James recent arrival and skimming through the conversations, and reflecting on some of my past encounters… Continue reading Guest Post: Reflecting on Cluster B-Type Women (By Pickernanny)

In order to stay up-to-date with normie thinking, I skim a particular German news site daily. It is called welt.de, in case you are curious. A decade or so ago, this was a pretty serious newspaper. Nowadays, though, they have a lot of gossip on the front page, even though normally those articles are placed… Continue reading No, Slut, he Will Not Remember You At The End of his Life!

I just came across a YouTube channel that showcases AI-generated images, of course only highlighting the cutting edge of applied research in this field, i.e. rendering slutty women. I have highlighted the incredible advances of AI-powered image generators before. Perhaps most relevant is this article as it contains variations of one particular image. Yet, looking… Continue reading Full-Frontal Attack By A.I. on E-Thots
For the last few weeks I tried playing through Resident Evil 7, but dropped it after about 40% in, judging from replays I watched afterwards. The beginning is quite good but it just gets worse and worse. Instead of a fully fleshed out review, I just want to throw out some notes on this game,… Continue reading Notes on Resident Evil 7
It is not at all uncontroversial to say that women tend to be big spenders. Despite their virtue signaling regarding supposedly man-made climate warming, they collectively prop up the fashion industry, which wrecks the planet like almost no other industry. They are also big on spending money on cosmetics, trinkets, and all kinds of bullshit… Continue reading Wasting Money is Female Status Signaling
In the hey-days of the pickup industry, I got the occasionally genuinely bizarre request, e.g. guys who were relatively old virgins telling me that they want to not just have sex with women but they had very specific ideas about having multiple fuck buddies around. One told me about a very particular practice he was… Continue reading Getting a Taste of What You Think You Want
I already mentioned that I hardly noticed any attractive women on my last trip. As I was staying in a typical hotel for business travelers, and could only depart on Friday, I also got the chance to make yet another observation, due to tourists flocking in on Thursday evening. Instead of mostly lone business travelers… Continue reading When the Mother is Slimmer than the Daughter
I just came across the video below, which shows some of the most densely populated areas in Asia and thus the entire world. It immediately stood out to me how clean those areas were and how orderly people behaved. Just watch a few snippets of this video to see what I am referring to: As… Continue reading Housing Density and Social Decay
