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
