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
Quite recently there was a comment by a new reader of this blog. He wrote the following as a response to my article Would you bother with women if prostitution was legal and (very) cheap?. I’m actually living this lifestyle. I live in Austria, prostitution is legal here, and I have sex with escorts/prostitutes on… Continue reading Married Men and Hookers
Some time ago there was a comment on my blog in which a supposed quality guy voiced his confusion that he wasn’t getting laid despite all his quality attributes. He somehow confused “quality guys” with “weak beta simp’. The first question he asked was: 1. What is it about these guys that women love about… Continue reading Supposed Quality Guys
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
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
There is the phenomenon of the 30k-millionaire, i.e. the guy who barely gets by but who pretends to be a big spender. If you have ever been to an expensive club and seen four or five guys sharing a table with exactly one bottle, that is the kind of guy I am talking about. They… Continue reading The futility of wanting to impress women with money
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
Feminists, Tradcucks, and anybody else who has a vested interest in financially exploiting men harps on the supposed fact that married men make more money. That is of course a confusion of cause and consequence. It is not that marriage magically puts money in the pocket of men. Instead, you have to make money in… Continue reading Married Men and Sterilized Dogs
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. I don’t think this TV show comes anywhere near the greatest of all time, The Sopranos, but it is nonetheless quite good. The… Continue reading Reflections on Breaking Bad: Big Bucks, Betas, and Nasty Bitches
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
The other day I bumped into a guy at a conference. He looked a bit desperate, but certainly seemed intelligent. As I spoke to him, it quickly became obvious that I’m talking to someone very intelligent. As a brief summary, he has earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in mathematics at one of the best… Continue reading Another man who lets a woman wreck his life
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?
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?
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)
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. You think… Continue reading With Women, Your Reward for Success is Working Harder and Paying More
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”
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
A topic I’ve been discussing quite a bit with my girlfriend recently is how Asian culture affects men much more negatively than women. After all, a submissive woman is desirable, while a submissive man is not. In this post, my submissive Asian cutie describes two of her cucked friends. I will follow this up with… Continue reading Guest post by my girlfriend: Two exemplary cucked Asian men
The reason fat shaming works and why fat women are so embarrassed about being fat is due to hundreds of millions of years of evolution. Women are of course perfectly aware of the importance of being slender if they want to attract a good provider. No slender woman who is working hard on staying in… Continue reading ‘Woman’ is to ‘fat’ like ‘man’ is to ___ ?
It is not uncommon that men put off plans. They may dream of writing their novel, traveling to some far-off destination or trying some crazy hobby. Not now, but someday. Yet, the time is never right. I have even met people in their late 20s or early 30s who told me about what they intended… Continue reading The Importance of Getting It out of Your System
In my last article, Your sex drive vs. your desire of picking up women, I mentioned that one motivation behind my wild seducer days was that I was pretty obsessed with sex for a while. It’s doubtful whether I could seriously have called myself a sex-addict, but seeing how wishy-washy a discipline psychology is, I… Continue reading Determination and pickup
Some days ago a reader pointed me to Blackdragon’s blog. That is a guy I first encountered on the old mASF forum about a decade ago. I don’t have the impression that he’s stupid, but I always had the impression that his priorities are a bit odd. For one, back then he insisted on solely… Continue reading Your sex drive vs. your desire of picking up women
My girlfriend has a personality trait I rarely observe among women: she sets goals and consistently works towards them. This has many manifestations. One of her goals is to have a family, thus she works on acquiring skills that will make her a great wife and mother. For instance, she reads up on child-rearing (!)… Continue reading Female vs male hobbies
I think I have written about the misconception this article is going to focus on before, but it probably can’t hurt to discuss it again in more detail as you so often encounter it that it makes your head spin. Well, given that the vast majority of men are beta cucks, it is no surprise… Continue reading The “men are like switches, women are like dials” nonsense
Some time ago a guy asked me what I think he should fix about himself, assuming that money isn’t much of a concern. I found this rather peculiar. Still the issue of cosmetic procedures for men comes up occasionally. Quite frankly, I think it’s normally only gay men who spend thousands on that, but let’s… Continue reading Cosmetic procedures for men
I was recently pointed towards an article disseminating a social sciences article in which the researchers wanted to explore why men rather spend time among themselves than with (Western) women. The journal article they refer to is Privileging the Bromance by Robinson et al. It’s paywalled research, though. The key part of the article is… Continue reading Science figures out why men rather stay single
When my grandfather married, his wife was 19. He was almost 50. It was an obvious deal, consisting of trading youth for resources, and it was seen as perfectly okay back then. Of course, feminists fume when they hear stories like that. It bothers them beyond belief that the prime resource women bring to the… Continue reading Guys hit the wall six feet under
Among the most popular myths perpetuated by the divorce industry is that the ditz who married a doctor and stayed at home to raise children gave up a great career. After all, since women can do everything better than men, it is only logical to assume that absolutely everyone of them would have ended up… Continue reading Career sacrifices men make in marriage
The other week I attended an academic conference in an applied field. To my surprise, there were quite a few people from industry attending as well. One of the guys I ended up talking to told me about his educational background, and his current job. He was among the older attendees, easily in his late… Continue reading How men and women talk about their careers
A few weeks ago I visited my parents for a few days. As they don’t need the space, they kept my room the way it was when I moved out. This put me in the convenient position that I never really had to go through my things and decide what I wanted to keep. However,… Continue reading Men who don’t seriously date in their early 20s dodge bullets
In all countries, men have a lower life expectancy than women. The main reason is that men take more risks, which causes them to die sooner. It’s quite easy to kick the bucket if you throw caution in the wind and engage in dangerous activities. This may get you a posthumous Darwin Award, but that… Continue reading Another reason why men die earlier than women
This is another old and unpublished post of mine, which I originally wrote in early 2010. I recently received an email in which a guy made an interesting observation while reading through some of my earliest public forum posts: “In one of your post, you wrote how you had trouble sleeping next to a new… Continue reading When learning how to pick up girls, every step closer to the goal is valuable
I’m still going through files that I have amassed over the last 5 to 10 years. While doing so, I unearthed anther article, which I completed but never posted anywhere. The context was that back then, some PUAtards wrote about “neediness management”, which I thought was yet another nonsensical concept. The claim was that guy… Continue reading Neediness Management — A Problem that takes care of itself
Alek Novy just left a comment on my first post on YouTube train wreck “Blonde in the Belly of the Beast” that reminded me of an article I wanted to write: Consider that girls mature earlier and get experiences earlier than men. A 30 year old woman has lived the life of a 45 year… Continue reading Age vs sexual experience of men and women
Note: This is another article I wrote some tie ago. It was originally intended as a follow-up to my classic post The Biggest Dating Mistake Women Make. It’s been almost four years. Well, let’s just say that I’ve been very busy. In my last article I argued that women should try to find a partner… Continue reading Men are to Wine what Women are to ____ ?
I didn’t think I’d ever shill for an online product, but my opinion of Jordan Peterson’s Future Authoring Program is indeed a positive one. In summary, it is a guided writing exercise, to the tune of $14.95, which will lead you to clarify your goals and help you reach them. In essence, the process is… Continue reading My experience with Jordan Peterson’s Future Authoring Program
In my post “Alpha is a state of mind, not a demographic.” (LOL), I argued that losers don’t feel great and have no reason to feel great anyway. Thus, all attempts to improve their “inner game” without trying to fix their life are bound to fail. In this post, I’d like to elaborate more on… Continue reading Feeling great is a reward for doing well in life
I just came across a comment left by a reader about five years ago (!) on my old blog, which I think deserves further attention, as it very succinctly captures why some guys don’t get laid: Alek [Novy] brought up a very important point in the other thread: if your lifestyle is lacking to the… Continue reading Reader comment: Lack of pussy is a symptom of bigger issues
Occasionally, people recommend I check out Rollo Tomassi’s popular blog “The Rational Male”. I skimmed a few posts. Personally, it’s not for me as his writing is incredibly meandering and very fluffy. I also noticed that he’s been teaming up with a bunch of dubious characters in the commercial PUA industry but, hey, the man’s… Continue reading “Alpha is a state of mind, not a demographic.” (LOL)
Recently a reader remarked on this blog that social science research falls into two categories. It either confirms what is blatantly obvious, or it is obviously bullshit. Here is a recent research result in the former category: Is sociopolitical egalitarianism related to bodily and facial formidability in men? by a bunch of academics from Brunel,… Continue reading Science finds that losers tend to be lefties (duh!)
An interesting aspect of having an internet presence is that sometimes people approach me almost as if they are asking for approval to do something. A few times guys asked me about my opinion on dating much younger girls. Of course, as long as they are not breaking any laws, that’s totally fine, regardless of… Continue reading No, you don’t need to bother with women if you don’t want to
I used to stress the importance of style. It is of course not unimportant, but a much bigger determinant of your success with women is your physique. Thus, if you walk around in a plain T-shirt and your female acquaintances remark that you surely work out, you’re fine. From that point onward, adding more muscle… Continue reading How to figure out whether you’re buff enough for successfully picking up girls
I criticized Jordan Peterson for calling MGTOWs “pathetic weasels”, and outlined that MGTOW consists of two groups: genuine MGTOWs who realize that the odds are stacked against them. The world is full of shitty women and the court system will eat them alive. There is another group: “Virgin-TOW”. Those are men who seek shelter in… Continue reading About Jordan Peterson’s backpedalling on calling MGTOWs “pathetic weasels”
By now you have learnt that “just being yourself” doesn’t get you girls, unlike your mom told you. You may also have learnt that approaching hundreds of girls indiscriminately doesn’t get you laid either, let alone with “10s”. So, what is left? That’s easy, check out my books. My free ebook Debunking the Seduction Community played a… Continue reading Want a head start? Buy my books!
Besides Vinnie constantly acting like a cuck, yet not suffering any consequences for it, “Entourage” depicts something else the average male can readily identify with: crab mentality. This concept is based on an interpretation of crab behavior. Apparently, if you dump a few hundred crabs into a barrel, they drag each other down instead of… Continue reading The Crab Mentality in “Entourage”
Quite some time ago we had a brief discussion on the HBO show “Entourage” in an Open Thread. I would like to revisit that and flesh out my previous remarks. “Entourage” has often been highlighted by PUA gurus morons as an example of a show full of characters guys wanting to get better with women… Continue reading Why “Entourage” is “Sex and the City” for beta men
Blog reader “Haselnuss” left an interesting comment on the recent Open Thread. It’s about women who, despite being OK-ish looking, can’t get a guy to date them. My first response was to ask about socioeconomic status. But there is of course another point to it. He wrote: I know several 20 y/o women. All of… Continue reading You are a lot better than your competition than you think
Not too long ago I publicly declared that I have a man-crush on Jordan Peterson. In response, a commenter posted a video clip with Peterson’s take on MGTOW (I’ll have more to say about that kind of comment in a different post). Here is the clip: There is a really great sentence in it: “Maybe,… Continue reading Jordan Peterson is wrong with his opinion on MGTOW
In light of my recent post on the bullshit claim that married men live longer, I’d like to tear another oft-repeated and related claim to shreds. It is the claim that men live longer when they marry younger spouses. You’ll find plenty of sources on that. It goes back to an allegedly solid academic study.… Continue reading No, you won’t live longer just because you got a young spouse
Following up on my last post Exercise for Readers: Do married men live longer?, I would like to make a few remarks. But before I start, urge you to read the comments that were left under that post, if you haven’t yet done so. They are worth reading. I was particularly pleased by the wide… Continue reading So, do married men live longer?
