Medicine is a Nasty Subscription Business

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

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

Getting Rid of Destructive Habits

I recently received the following article request: Had an article idea for you. I recently read an article on a dissident site where it briefly mentioned how hostile people on the ‘far right’ can be when dealing with newcomers. I’ve also noticed online that people in this sub-sub-subculture tend to act this way, basically requiring… Continue reading Getting Rid of Destructive Habits

The Questionable Glorification of Roiding and Muscles

Now that “natural bodybuilding” has been exposed as a scam, with many figureheads exposed as juicers, it seems that Internet culture has moved on to fully embracing steroids. People nowadays even build audiences around their admitted use of steroids, like “Looks Maximus”. In one of his videos, he spends about 40 minutes telling you why… Continue reading The Questionable Glorification of Roiding and Muscles

Reflections on Themes of the Manga/Anime Berserk and the Spiritual Bankruptcy of Modernity

The manga Berserk has been exceedingly successful. Kentaro Miura began publishing it in 1989, and it is still ongoing. I originally became aware of it in the early 2000s via the video game Berserk: Guts’ Rage. I don’t have much of a recollection of it. Also, I never really looked into the manga either but… Continue reading Reflections on Themes of the Manga/Anime Berserk and the Spiritual Bankruptcy of Modernity

Harmful but Convenient Self-Images and their Relation to Reality

If you are used to questioning your beliefs and have managed to change some of them throughout your life, you may find it difficult to grasp that some people would rather suffer the consequences of holding questionable beliefs than admit that they are wrong. This is most obvious in the case of women who advocate… Continue reading Harmful but Convenient Self-Images and their Relation to Reality

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

Seemingly Only Slightly Above Average Men and Women are Much Rarer than You May Think

There are a few catchy phrases that summarize what women want, e.g. a man with six-pack abs who is six feet tall and has a six-inch dick. The reason a six-inch dick is mentioned here is not that it’s so staggeringly big but simply that it goes with the theme. Likewise, six feet is tall… Continue reading Seemingly Only Slightly Above Average Men and Women are Much Rarer than You May Think

Open Post: How to Bang 1 in 4 Girls

Blog reader ‘Dude’ left a comment that nicely summarizes the core idea behind my books Minimal Game and Club Game, namely to make very targeted approaches. The average “gamer” approaches indiscriminately and may get one date out of 1,000 approaches, but with a smarter approach you can eliminate all the approaches that don’t go anywhere.… Continue reading Open Post: How to Bang 1 in 4 Girls

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

You Need to Accept the Harsh Truth (About Everything)

In a recent Open Thread we discussed whether women are really attracted to their husbands. I stated that most women are not, and based this on the observation that women flock towards a small fraction of men in online and real-life dating. Those men get all the action. It’s just another example of the Pareto… Continue reading You Need to Accept the Harsh Truth (About Everything)

Getting Prematurely Attached to That One Girl

A few concepts old-school PUAs introduced are valid, such as “one-itis”, i.e. obsessing about a particular girl. In this particular scene, though, this meant PUAs obsessing about more or less any girl who gave them any kind of attention at all. You had guys report about “catching one-itis” basically every time they went out. In… Continue reading Getting Prematurely Attached to That One Girl

If One Girl Has Had Sex With You, Many More Will

We have talked about the 80/20 split in male attractiveness on online dating platforms according to which women deem only 20% of men to be attractive, and 80% as unattractive. In contrast, when men rate women, the result is a bell curve with most women rated as around average, with outliers on both ends of… Continue reading If One Girl Has Had Sex With You, Many More Will
