  • Women Conform to Whatever Power They Perceive

    The vast majority of Women try to reduce or eliminate social threats, so they conform to whatever power they perceive. It’s not rational from a male perspective because if there is an external threat women will rapidly and easily undermine the men (their host).

  • We Are Men. We Form Packs. We Hunt. when We Discover a New Technique We Converge on It.

    Criticizing a sacred cow? Hit a value-nerve? eh? We are all working to define a path to a future for our people and that process is exhaustive and fractally fragmented. Once we exhaust the search we will coalesce on what survives as a possibility. Men are not women. We specialize into small packs. The packs that mailnvest will disappear. Those that do not will converge. As always. Abandon equality and homogeneity – they are women’s work. Understand that we are men. We specialize. We form packs. We hunt. We innovate. We imitate, and we improve – and little by little we become the gods we desire to be. Man is glorious.

  • Curious. Men both consciously and unconsciously demarcate their responsibilities

    Curious.

    Men both consciously and unconsciously demarcate their responsibilities an interests by “that’s a woman’s problem”. In other words, women are better suited, more interested, and more able to solve that category of problems.

    Do women do the same thing? Do women demarcate their responsibilities by saying “that’s a man’s problem”?

    If so, on what?

  • Love Is Enough. Truth Is for Men. Possibility for Women.

    Like I said. Love women. Listen to them (it’s hard to do that for any length of time I know – but all men develop the ability to filter, respond, and not try to solve all their problems). Try to make them happy as you can without going into debt. Don’t argue truth and falsehood, or good or bad, just take a stand on what is possible and advisable or not. Women are the most awesome part of life I’ve found, and other than destroying the competition in business the greatest high. 😉 But they aren’t men, and we aren’t women, and we’re both much happier when we understand that. 😉 It’s usually easier to get men to understand that women aren’t men than get (american) women to understand men aren’t women. The problem is very simple economics of demographics: since women are more marginally indifferent and more narrowly distributed, the number of men desirable for women is much smaller than the number of women desirable for men – and this is a constant problem. Women settle much more often than men. And while women almost always underestimate their sexual market value (it’s just weight and preening and you’re there), men vastly overestimate their sexual market value. So for men, it’s not complicated: read heavy things, lift heavy things, save and invest everything you can. When a woman attracts a man her standard of living increases by twenty percent or more. When a man attracts a woman his standard of living decreases by twenty percent or more. For women men are emotionally burdensome, and for men women are experientially (financially) burdensome. So make sure you understand the investment you’re making in one another. Marriage is the most damaging financial mistake you can make and is the most significant factor in determining whether you will be comfortable and happy or poor and depressed in old age.

  • Wired for Gadgets

    Men have a thing for ‘devices’ like women have a thing for accessories. I can’t remember the study but basically the more gears and stupid stuff a thing has the more interested a male will be in it. Some test where they brought men into rooms and let them get bored for a minute and watched what they demonstrated an interest in, and the mechanical stuff just won every time. The whole transformers thing took advantage of this basic idea, and its why gaming and programming is so hypnotizing and consuming for men.
