    (Reaction to manosphere video)
    Why do women think men lack the confidence and security in approaching them? Rather than that men consider them too much effort for too much social risk, for too much maintenance for too little return.
    It’s just beyond me that women can’t comprehend the simplicity of male assessment of women. Women see men as OPPORTUNITIES, but men see women as COSTS.
    The reason is, modern women only bring sex to the relationship. Are they providing nesting (home), care, peace? It’s all about their consumption instead. As such, women are a luxury good (sex) and nothing else – unless their cost is worth the effort necessary for the man to find ‘peace’ at home.
    Men are aware of the degree of their ability to competitively produce surpluses that women want to consume. If a woman is too costly in time effort stress and income then it’s just not worth pursuing her.
    Instead of these ‘city girls’ watch how men react to country girls. It’s so obvious. Women don’t style up for men – they do it for women – and in doing so they drive up their perceived cost to men, and lower their perceived value to men, because women’s investment is for themselves and other women – not men.
    You will never be more beautiful to a man who loves you than you are waking up in the morning, with messy hair, no makeup, and relaxed features, after wearing one of his shirts to sleep in.
    Just is.

    Richard
    All cognitively feminine leftists engage in projection because they are incapable of prediction of the opposition’s instincts, intuitions, and reasoning, because the left has a short time horizon and the right is always looking at the distant time horizon.
    Feminine empathizing in time and avoidance of responsibility vs masculine systematizing over time and demand for responsibility..

    You are correct. The womans nervous system is exaggerated and her attention distributed to cover the cognitive surface area of her offspring. Absent that ‘work’ she will put it to unproductive ends. This is why the problem we face with women in modernity is limited to those without children, or single mothers. married women with three or more children develop ‘male’ equivalent rationality – they must. They have no choice. And interestingly, they enjoy it.

  • Regarding Dating Single Moms: Still seeing the social media fervor over single m

    Regarding Dating Single Moms:
    Still seeing the social media fervor over single mothers rebelling against men not wanting to date or marry them. I understand both sides. But I can’t understand why women can’t understand it.
    I’ve learned a lot because I have a bunch of ‘stepkids’ from the single mom’s I’ve dated (or married):
    1) You will have to adapt to her life not her to yours.
    2) You will always come in second after the kids.
    3) You cannot discipline the children other than in their behavior toward you.
    4) She will expect you to carry the financial weight of the kids despite this – and still use her money for her own purposes.
    5) She will burden you with whatever trauma she has from her previous relationships. And often it will make you want to leave.

    Why does this work – at least, for me:
    1) Busy mom’s impose limited demands on me and my time are in my favor (as a workaholic).
    2) I can get along with everyone easily so fitting into a household is easy – in fact I prefer a woman’s sovereignty in the home as long as I have my ‘peaceful’ place to reset, work, and think.
    3) I can defer to her without impact on my ego as long as it is not a risk to me, cost to me, or disrespectful to me. (Never tolerate disrespect.)
    4) I can support the kids or mom when one or the other gets out of hand – which always happens and makes me trusted by both.
    5) I follow the same strategy in all relationships with women: figure out what makes them feel safe, and provide it. Conversely, figure out if they desire attention, and if so … Run.
    6) I maintain walk away power – which must never be stated, but always preserved.
    That’s why it works for me. I can’t see most men, who need the emotional connection, support, and respect (male version of validation), tolerating these conditions. When they are the optimum conditions for me.

    QUESTION
    Good morning Curt – I’m a big fan of your work and I had a question about your recent post regarding what happens when average IQ is raised or lowered in a population.

    While I’m inclined to agree with what you say, I’m curious as to how you’d address the case of black Americans who, seventy years ago, had a lower rate of children born out of wedlock than white Americans. Presumably their average IQ hasn’t dropped 15 points or more in 70 years.

    What other factors may have led to such a degradation and what practical factors can be implemented to restore stability in such communities that have an average IQ below 100?

    ANSWER:
    12:29 PM (0 minutes ago)
    to Sebastian

    Nothing to do with IQ and everything to do with 1) the destruction of the black family by relocation from farms to cities especially during the Johnson Administration and the Great Society movement (Democrats). 2) the no-fault divorce, childsupport, alimony, birth control consequences. In fact a significant number of black americans have achieved lower middle class income and status, with a non-trivial percent achieving middle class status. The problem with lower IQ is the increasing demand for social regulation as the capacity for personal regulation decreases. Is there a solution? I sort of think so, but I’m just getting a handle on this of late.

  • RE: Ultimatums. They’re destructive and unnecessary. Simply have the discussion

    RE: Ultimatums.
    They’re destructive and unnecessary. Simply have the discussion about your future. Tell him you are interested. Ask him what it would take for him to be ‘ready’. It will help him decide. Men marry when they are ready. Ready means secure in their understanding of the path to their future. It’s more about that than about you. You are an expense. A luxury good. The biggest expense he will ever bear. Then, after two or three weeks or better a month, having not brought it up again in any way, even by hinting, ask him how he feels about your prospects for the long term. If he is uncertain then don’t give an ultimatum. Just leave and wish him good luck. I usually know within about three or four months that a woman is a candidate. I know for certain after a year. If it takes longer than eighteen months that’s a bad sign for a woman – even though some relationships are so secure and so devoted that they can result in marriage after five, six or more years.

    What if I could (our team could) if you would put in the effort, show you that all you’re describing is the difference in mental capacity to identify patterns and understand them through introspection by reducing them to first causes – explaining all of the human experience and all knowledge within it, such that the number of principles necessary to understand all of human behavior was less than forty rules?

    So complexity appears only because of ignorance of the causal simplicity of it.

    I have watched people come to this understanding and the understanding that results is incomparable, and the mindfulness that results from that understanding unequalled.

    Turns out that teachers are a cancer destroying society from within by applying feminine intuition that causes infantilism rather than masculine paternalism that causes flexibility adaptation responsibility and maturity.
