Reflections on a Possibly Wasted Decade Spent on Picking up Women

The topic of this post, which is based on a comment left by Maou, had been on my backlog for over a year, but a few days ago I received an email by someone else, asking about it and if I would be interested in responding to that comment as part of an article request.… Continue reading Reflections on a Possibly Wasted Decade Spent on Picking up Women

The Wisdom of “Looks Maximus” (II): Life-Affirming Experiences

One of the key phrases Looks Maximus uses is, “life-affirming experiences”. You may dismiss this as posturing, considering that he promotes a “whore-maxxing” lifestyle as the complete opposite of the life the traditional wage-slave lives. I am referring to the study hard, work hard, and at the very end, after a life of relative discomfort,… Continue reading The Wisdom of “Looks Maximus” (II): Life-Affirming Experiences

The Allure of Open-World Games vs. the Drabness of Modern Life

A while ago, Pickernanny left two meaty comments on open world videogames and how they relate to the male existence. In particular, he draws attention how unsatisfying modern life is for men. I reproduce his comments below, followed by some remarks by myself. Even if you are not much of a gamer, you may find… Continue reading The Allure of Open-World Games vs. the Drabness of Modern Life

Speaking Openly about Difficulties with Women

Recently, we have been talking about experiences with difficult women on this blog. As it turned out, some of you have encountered or even had relationships with women suffering from cluster B personality disorders. It’s probably a bit of a stretch to say that those women “suffer” because they seem to quite enjoy living out… Continue reading Speaking Openly about Difficulties with Women

Fallacy Time: “Height Doesn’t Matter Because I’m Doing Better than My Taller Friends”

I think we all agree here that height is a hugely important factor for getting girls. It may even be the most important component of your looks that determines your overall level of success, or your potential maximum. Of course, this argument is based on the assumption that we keep all other factors equal. This… Continue reading Fallacy Time: “Height Doesn’t Matter Because I’m Doing Better than My Taller Friends”

Hyper-Attractiveness in Mass Media and the Problem of Skewed Male Self-Image

Many men, even attractive ones, drastically underestimate where they rank in terms of attractiveness. There are many reasons for this. With younger men, an issue is that women their age may simply have access to a larger dating pool. An 18-year old girl could date guys of any age and may realistically go for someone… Continue reading Hyper-Attractiveness in Mass Media and the Problem of Skewed Male Self-Image

Why Successful Bachelors Struggle with Finding Meaning in Life

In the olden days, it was easy to find meaning in life. True, life was ultimately as meaningless as it is nowadays, but before you arrived at that point, if at all, you were close to the natural end of your lifespan already anyway. Before you could find ever-lasting peace six feet under, after pondering… Continue reading Why Successful Bachelors Struggle with Finding Meaning in Life

Dealing With Rejection Effectively

A recent discussion in The Open Thread #54 centered around the question of how to deal with rejection. Basically every guy who has ever approached a woman knows that getting turned down can really sting. In the worst case, a high number of rejections may even demotivate guys from approaching women altogether in the future.… Continue reading Dealing With Rejection Effectively

Admitting That It Is Not Going to Happen

Imagine you ask your boss if you could get a certain qualification, of course sponsored by the company. At first he is a bit skeptical yet mildly supportive, telling you that you should hit some milestones first or maybe just put in a few more years. You diligently do that. Later, you revisit this topic.… Continue reading Admitting That It Is Not Going to Happen

Dealing With Unjustified Feelings of Hopelessness

In my book Minimal Game, I mention the anecdote of some Russian teenage girl sitting on top of me who suddenly got shy and told me to “not look at it”, referring to her supposedly asymmetrical nostrils. This struck me as utterly ludicrous. As I further pointed out in this context, the problem with unrealistic… Continue reading Dealing With Unjustified Feelings of Hopelessness

Progress is Often Invisible

A relatively frequent occurrence among those of my clients who book multiple sessions, with an eye towards long-term improvements, is that they sometimes hit a plateau. Surely, those of you who worked hard to improve your odds fucking random women have made similar experiences. Skillful early physical escalation is a good example. It takes experience… Continue reading Progress is Often Invisible

Success with Women and the Diminishing Returns of Money: Billionaire Edition

There is the widely-held belief that more money makes you more successful with women. I consider this a highly dubious claim. First, for hook-ups, the question of how thick your wallet is likely does not even enter the picture. Sure, if you’re operating at the level of a genuine hobo, the most chiseled abs most… Continue reading Success with Women and the Diminishing Returns of Money: Billionaire Edition

The Biggest Problem of the Black Pill Community: Defeatism

After the seduction community collapsed, which I am very happy to have played a major role in (cf. Debunking the Seduction Community), several follow-up communities sprang up. An existing one got an influx of people, too. The existing community that absorbed part of the old seduction community is MGTOW, i.e. Men Going Their Own Way.… Continue reading The Biggest Problem of the Black Pill Community: Defeatism

Micro-Pigmentation: An Alternative to a Hair Transplant?

I recall that when I heard of “micro-pigmentation” the first time, I was a bit skeptical. Instead of a costly and time-consuming hair transplant, you get black spots tattooed all over your scalp, with the effect that it looks as if you’re wearing your hair very short. It seemed a bit odd and more of… Continue reading Micro-Pigmentation: An Alternative to a Hair Transplant?

When Beta Providers Get Laid, It Is Not Real Sex

We have been having an interesting exchange on the post, “The futility of wanting to impress with money.” I’d like to start with a humorous question Shawn asked, with regards to the observation that throughout history, most men did not procreate. He wrote: “Why didn’t Aaron just take one for the team and impregnate a… Continue reading When Beta Providers Get Laid, It Is Not Real Sex

When it comes to Women, it’s better for a Man to be Jaded or Cynical than a Simp

After posting my article on how I would raise my son in order to keep him from turning into a spineless little simp who puts women on a pedestal, my girlfriend made the following objection: But, but, but what if he would turn jaded or cynical. Wouldn’t that be worse? This objection is easy to… Continue reading When it comes to Women, it’s better for a Man to be Jaded or Cynical than a Simp

Your son should have plenty of sexual experience

A while ago one of my readers, Neutralrandomthroughts, asked me the following, which I paraphrase from memory: If you had a son, would you encourage him to fuck around? This is a question I have thought about quite a bit. My girlfriend also asked me about. In the following, I’ll outline my current position on… Continue reading Your son should have plenty of sexual experience

The Korean manga “SStudy” shows how women lead men astray and wreck their life

I recently came across the seedy Korean manga SStudy by Husky-Nom and Edge-Edge, which has been translated as Sunggi’s Study Group. I quite enjoyed it. During its three seasons, which total 77 installments, we follow a group of young Korean men and women whose life is in limbo. They have finished high school, and their… Continue reading The Korean manga “SStudy” shows how women lead men astray and wreck their life

Reflections on Breaking Bad: Big Bucks, Betas, and Nasty Bitches

This article is a follow-up piece to Walter White in Breaking Bad starts out as the ultimate beta male. Quite recently I finished watching the entirety of Breaking Bad, all five seasons.

Walter White in Breaking Bad starts out as the ultimate beta male

I recently began watching Breaking Bad as I’ve come across too much praise for this show over the years to keep ignoring it. I decided to give it a chance, and after two episodes, I have to say that it is really good. The last show I watched and enjoyed was Spartacus a few years… Continue reading Walter White in Breaking Bad starts out as the ultimate beta male

Has porn been breeding a generation of (literal) cucks?

The other day I listened to a few MGTOW-inspired videos on autoplay in the background. I don’t recall the source, but one guy raised the question if porn consumption has led to men being more accepting of men getting cheated on or making the even agreeable to their girls fucking other guys, possibly even in… Continue reading Has porn been breeding a generation of (literal) cucks?

Does a (perceived) lack of choice make men settle for fat women?

Some weeks ago I came across a blog post by a high-ranking Google engineer, an early employee who is most certainly worth many millions of dollars. His post was about his wife, who died all of a sudden. He didn’t mention the cause of death. I don’t want to draw undue attention to him, and… Continue reading Does a (perceived) lack of choice make men settle for fat women?

Review: The Red Pill (Documentary, 2016)

I occasionally come across references to the documentary “The Red Pill”. It’s not so much that people in the various manosphere/men’s rights/mgtow/red pill communities speak very highly of it. Instead, it is praised as an attempt to bring awareness of contemporary men’s issues into the mainstream. I recently watched that documentary. In a nutshell, if… Continue reading Review: The Red Pill (Documentary, 2016)

With Women, Your Reward for Success is Working Harder and Paying More

You’re horny and you want to get laid. Because you know what matters for short-term sexual attraction, you work out and dress well. Thus, you spend a lot of time, energy, and money to look good so that one of the girls at the local club decides to spread her legs for you.

Cucked men and their misguided belief that they are “progressive”

The other day I posted an article as Aaron S. Elias in which I share my impressions of James Damore’s class action lawsuit against Google. The published PDF is quite entertaining as it sheds light on what an utterly degenerate organization Google has become. My personal highlight was a cucked employee who sleeps in the… Continue reading Cucked men and their misguided belief that they are “progressive”

How Asian culture breeds desirable women and cucked men

Yesterday I published a guest post by my (Asian) girlfriend, in which she describes two of her cucked male friends. In this post, I’m going to elaborate on my perception of Asian or, more precisely, Chinese culture and why I think this leads to the outcome we so often see: meek men and submissive women.… Continue reading How Asian culture breeds desirable women and cucked men
