Relationships are merely a continuation of pickup by other means. Just as she must never forget to
keep in shape for your pleasure, you must never stop gaming your girl. The day you slip into
complacence is the day her love begins to show signs of stress.
Relationships may change but the Game remains the same. There seems to be a mistaken belief
among the betacracy that game may be good for pickup but it’ll do nothing at best, and sabotage at
worst, your prospects for a long and healthy relationship. These are the beliefs of weak and nutless
men who habitually dumpster date women way under their own market value so that they can go on
acting like Dr. Phil castrati without consequence. They are also the beliefs of fat and ugly women.
Naturally, the first few hours, days, and weeks of a courtship will be more exhilarating than the years
to follow. After the brash novelty has faded and love begins to take root a mutually comfortable
sufficiency will assert itself. An implicit bargain has been struck and there comes an expectation, not
wholly removed of anxiety, that your partner isn’t going to bolt, run away, or suddenly despise you
from one day to the next. But soft expectations so often morph into hard demands, and then the
misalignment with reality begins in earnest.
Eventually, no. As with demographics and economics, there is a lag time in sexual dynamics. This lag
time gets longer the more established the relationship becomes. A man who commits one glaring beta
act on the approach isn’t going to get more than a few seconds with his target before she blows him
out. But a man who has been seeing a girl for two years has to run up a litany of beta fouls before his
woman’s love finally dissolves under the onslaught of her mounting disgust. A lower energy,
consistent level of relationship game different only in degree, not kind, from pickup game, must be a
part of every man’s arsenal of perpetual sexiness.
One thing you will not fail to notice with women is that their shit tests never end, they just fade
away… to less annoying frequency. A handy chart demonstrating this female proclivity to endlessly
take stock of your alpha cred should make things clear:
First few weeks Shit tests become less obnoxious, more defensive;
(“Are you always this late?”)
If you aren’t a natural at deflecting shit tests of all varieties, then you must teach yourself. For those
men not blessed with the quickness of mind and aloofness of temperament to handle shit tests like a
champ, a system must be devised. I’ve found one. I call it the Agree & Amplify anti-shit test
counterinsurgency.
The concept is simple. When you are hit with a shit test, agree with your girl, and then amplify your
agreement. Here are some examples:
GIRL: “Why didn’t you call last night? Are you dating someone else?”
YOU: “Yep, I’ve got a harem to service. Be happy you’re in the top tier.”
***
GIRL: “Are you just going to sit around all day playing video games?”
YOU: “Damn straight. With enough hard work I should be able to push this to a full month.”
***
YOU: “Yeah, and because you’ve bitched, we’re going there for the next ten years.”
***
GIRL: “Sometimes you can be such an asshole. My ex knew how to treat a lady.”
YOU: “I bet he did. You should beg him to take you back. I could use the peace and quiet.”
***
***
GIRL: “I didn’t like the way you flirted with that girl at the party tonight.”
YOU: “I know, I’m an incorrigible flirt. Good thing you didn’t see the other ten girls I flirted with.
Phew!”
***
YOU: “You’re right. Just think of my cock as a flower and our fucking as poetry in motion.”
***
***
GIRL: [Making it obvious she’s flirting with another guy in your presence.]
YOU: “Hey, if you’re gonna try to make me jealous by flirting in front of me, at least put on a good
show. I haven’t seen bad flirting like that since your Mom tried to pick me up.”
***
YOU: “Sure thing. Would you like my ATM pin number as well?”
***
GIRL: [Calls you back two days after you left her a message.]
YOU: “Only two days later? Wow, you’re slipping. A true player waits a year before calling back.”
***
YOU: “You’re right, we’re *totally* incompatible. I like to wake up at 8:30 and you get up at 8:15. Who
can live with that?!”
This last one is especially interesting, because no matter how compatible you are with a girl, she is
compelled by an otherworldly force to wonder aloud how incompatible you both are. Expect to
receive this shit test around month three. Women have to work through their gina demons, and the
issue of “compatibility” is a biggie. For men, if our dicks fit inside her pussy, we’re compatible. For
women, a whole host of arcane connections must be made before she can feel you are “the one”. The
Agree & Amplify method is the only acceptable response. If you two are incompatible, arguing with
her will only highlight that. If you two are compatible, pointing out all the ways you are compatible
will only cause her to search more fervently for those few ways you aren’t compatible. Agreeing with
her, whether or not she’s right, and making fun of her concerns, is the best way to make her forget all
about the issue.
So to all the verbally hamstrung betas, when (not if) you find yourselves confronted by yet another
shit test, instead of wracking your brain for the appropriate response just recall the words “Agree &
Amplify”. A&A, A&A, A&A. Say it to yourself over and over, and the right answer will come to you.

Another great post from the God of Game. Publish this shit on paper and you’ll be able
retire.

Most times I just ignore the question, no smile, and ignore the question with a smile if it’s
repeated. The other girlfriend line is definitely good for texting.
I also like to have fun with it sometimes. ‘It’s the President, he needs me for a special assignment.’
Or whatever else I happen to think of.
YOU: “I bet he did. You should beg him to take you back. I could use the peace and quiet.”
BETA: “Why do you talk about him? Please don’t. It hurts my feelings and makes me a
little bit angry. We’ll negotiate an agreement: I will be better with you and you will not bring him
up.”
GIRL: “If I don’t talk about my feelings, we cannot have an open and honest relationship. I
thought that’s what you wanted. I wouldn’t have to bring him up if you SHAPE UP.”
Exactly.

I’m proud of myself for responding with some form of cocky-funny. But I am ashamed for the fact
that in my 20s I ran natual game on girls I considered hot but low quality, and put quality girls on
pedestals, only to “inexplicably” lose them.
I figured it’s the top-shelf billionaire’s wife or a brand new top modeling agency ingenue who gets
the G-Man repeated swoopings.
Me: Yep, (bust a loud obnoxious fart, pause for effect) The truth stinks don’t it?
Also, A&A will come to naught if a man cannot 1) detect a shit test accurately, and 2)
cannot react appropriately in time.
P.S: When she starts nagging about the ring(2 years in?), DTB immediately. Time to look for
fresher meat. Personally, the six month mark in the given example is my threshold of tolerance.
Endearing love and flowers my ass.
I figured it’s the top-shelf billionaire’s wife or a brand new top modeling agency ingenue who gets

2 months later hang out with her for another few days.

Excellent post, and actually reminds me of something Dave From Hawaii said he did
w/his wife awhile back. Good money.
“I’ll ask her if she with was one of her boyfriends or if she was porking the fat Salvadoran
janitor in the broom closet.”
Careful.

GIRL: “No asshole. My ex will be jealous if he sees you there. Gawd you’re stupid!”
Great. Thanks for getting “Blinded Me With Science” stuck in my head. I think I may spend my
lunchbreak rocking back and forth in a corner somewhere, with my hair in a side-ponytail.
Instead of “Don’t you have any ambition in life?” she could say, “You’re so talented! I think you
could be awesome at anything you do. But what do you think you’d rather do?”
Instead of “I didn’t like the way you flirted with that girl at the party tonight,” she could say,
“You’re so hot babe! I saw so many girls checking you out tonight. I think you missed a bunch of
girls who were looking at you.” He would say “Really?” She continues, “And you’re so
charismatic that even when you aren’t trying to flirt, the girls are just drawn to you.”
I don’t really like it when guys buy flowers, but if a girl does, she should not say, “You never get
me flowers or write me poetry.” She should say something like, “I know you’re such a poetic soul.
Don’t you think that flowers and paintings are so pretty? They really liven up a place. What are
your favorite flowers?” Wait for his response. “Oh those are gorgeous. Mine are .”
Never say “Sometimes you can be such an asshole. My ex knew how to treat a lady.” Say, after he
made an assholeish comment, “You know, you’re a dick sometimes, but I like it. I like how you
don’t take any shit from people, and how you know when to be sweet and sensitive.”
Yep. Shit tests sprayed with perfume. Smells nicer, but nevertheless still a shit test.
If a woman doesn’t have anything sincere or substantial to say to the man, the least she can do is
shut the fuck up.
Don’t play the ‘nice and enthusiastic tone with me’. I will still not marry you nor exclusively
commit to you. If you’re lucky I will bang you for 2 years(before any potential de-facto
relationship laws kick in); if not 1-6 months. Once done, I will DTB and discard you.
Question: have there been any posts/comments on shit testing from a virgin who is protective of
her virginity? I would expect appropriate answers to change based on the time constraints in the
relationship, i.e. whether you are travelling and meet her for a couple of weeks or whether you
have time to build trust, etc. Any thoughts on game in such a context, especially game in a
relationship with a clear time limit, where the shit tests can be difficult to meet?
When he doesn’t play his guitar as much for me, I never would nag him, “Geez, you used to play
for me all the time. Why don’t you do it anymore?” When he plays, by his own volition, I say,
“Wow babe, that was really amazing.” I don’t even say, “You should do it more often.” I just don’t
really care, because I am secure without needing him to prove he will do things for me.
This is about relationship skills for a girl who is with a great man, not a man who is intending on
pumping and dumping her. If a girl has landed a man who is desirable, he will know it, and so
will she. She should not be negative and critical. She should be the positive, uplifting presence in
his life, and not a drag to be around. Criticisms are best if done out of genuine concern for the
other person, not when they are for your own benefit.
gaming a girl who was solidly 7.5-8 (and in new york, so thinks she’s 9-10). i was walking
down the street, she was outside a bar smoking with a couple girlfriends and queers. eventually,
as we’re talking, she takes a phone call in the middle of the conversation and says “wait, this is
important, give me a minute.”
i say: “sure, let me get a drag of that.” i take one long drag, then stomp it out.
Try:
Put your finger on her lips and say “shhhh.”
Give a look of incredulity and contempt, and turn away. Add a slight shove for good measure.
Smirk, cup a cheek patronizingly, ignore the question, tease. Or note slight physical deformity.
Girls enjoy your humor, and they will try to elicit it upon request. Joke type answers will be a
show you put on for her amusement. Overuse A&A, and she’ll deem you a tool.
Good job!
Example:
GIRL: “Why didn’t you call last night? Are you dating someone else?”
YOU: “Yep, I’ve got a harem to service. Be happy you’re in the top tier.”
YOU: “Alright so we off for friday then? Let me see if Stacy is free.” *pulls out cell phone*
If she really is ready to cut it off at your cockiness, then so be it, but I say she wasn’t a girl you
should have gotten into a relationship into the first place. Walking on eggshells, etc.
I’d like to use some of these, but I believe she’d take it literally. If I said I was texting my “other
girlfriend”, she’d likely think I really had another gf. If I said that she should go back to her ex,
she would think I was dumping her.
I would be risking going to go back and explain that I was joking, which would cause me to come
across as more beta.
So far, I’ve handled shit tests by either ignoring or by curtly brushing it off with a quick answer
and continuing what I was talking about before.
I know you have a lot of experience dating girls from other cultures. You mentioned in your girls
around the world thing that when you dated a Finnish girl she couldn’t take any jokes or teasing
without being hurt- how do you usually handle shit tests when sarcasm/A&A isn’t a good
option?
Agree & Amplify. Yes. It works in other passive hostility situations too, like people trying to make
you look poorly in front of others.
First few minutes – Rapid fire shit tests designed to weed out betas
I for one am open to learning how to counter these. A&A here too? Should I work through the
archives?
By the way-
Actually it’s wracking your brain (like nerve-wracking). I’m not picking nits. I just think this kind
of slip is way beneath you. I’ll cool it with the servility in a moment, but your level of writing is
bloody impressive. I read your writing and I read George Will’s, and when I read your writing, I
look up more words.
yes, the gina tingle can be seen. it is betrayed by an imperceptible shift in her chair, and a
sparkle in her eye.
Girls enjoy your humor, and they will try to elicit it upon request. Joke type answers will be a show you put
on for her amusement. Overuse A&A, and she’ll deem you a tool.
good point, basil. it’s easy to be too cocky and become her dancing monkey. A&A should be
alternated with I&S (Ignore & Switch). the switch is best done non-verbally, or, if verbally, to
something completely unrelated, like examining a physical flaw, as you noted.
Never say “Sometimes you can be such an asshole. My ex knew how to treat a lady.” Say, after he
made an assholeish comment, “You know, you’re a dick sometimes, but I like it. I like how you don’t take any
shit from people, and how you know when to be sweet and sensitive.”
To me, it sounds like you’re mothering the guy and you’re going to be stuck mothering him as a
part of your daily routine. The best thing to say after an asshole-ish comment is that you’re not
going there, period, and if he wants to be an asshole that’s his own personal problem. If he expects
you to “go there” with him, he’s going to end up alone or with someone who wants to mother
him into better behavior. Sounds like too much work.
I don’t know – I’ve found the hot and heavy can’t get enough of each other fucking like bunnies
sex usually lasts a good 4 months, with strong passion remaining for up to a year.
I’m 4 months into this girl, and seeing her face makes me warm inside, and seeing her put on a
sexy shirt makes my dick hard. We still fuck like bunnies. It’s affecting my work.
I am delighted that you posted this. When I was in college, my girlfriend lived in a house with 5
other girls. This ethics question came up in my presence during girl talk after some alpha let off a
surprise batch in one roommate’s mouth the night before. I took note of the harpyness as all the
girls chided his rudeness. “What if she hates getting cum in her mouth?” they cried. “Not a good
way to get a second blowjob!” These were hollow protests; gina tingles abounded.
The alpha made a few more appearances before transitioning his game elsewhere. He was held in
high regard.
I considered a warning to be “polite” from then on out, because I was brainwashed into believing
what girls SAY they like. Probably missed a few followups by taking the high road. Currently, I’ve
been operating on a sliding scale: the easier it is to get the blowjob, the less likely I am to
announce my blast. In light of your revelation, I think I will stop altogether.
When she wants her man to switch classes, she doesn’t say, “You shouldn’t play your
mage so much! My ex pwned n00bs with his rogue!”
She just says, “Honey, your main is so well-geared! Imagine what you could do with your alts!”
Everything is context and depends on the speaker and the tone of delivery. When my guy made
some on the surface asshole-ish comments to me, it did not faze me, because he does it in a teasing
and joking tone. They are just little jabs, like how clumsy I am and how cute it is I stumble over
things.
He doesn’t intend any harm by them. I don’t think I try to mother him; to me, mothering is more
like lecturing — it’s what my mom did to me. I also let him know when he’s crossed the line into
truly being insulting, and he will say sorry for it right away, not dwelling on it but also not “too
good to apologize” either.
So I’ve told him that I kind of like his abrasiveness when dealing with people, because he does it
in a joking and upbeat way. It’s a kind of honesty you don’t get from most people. He will tell me
straight up when I’ve done something wrong, and he won’t berate me for it, but he will correct
me. He will tell me what I need to improve on as well as give me small encouragements. That’s
how he taught me how to ride a bike in pretty much a day.
i had this problem with russian, finnish and polish girls i dated. A&A would be taken literally, and
they would get genuinely hurt. your best bet is to alternate A&A with sincere answers. so if she
wonders who you’re texting, tell her not to worry so much, she’s your lublu. sarcasm and
cocky/funny don’t translate well with east euro chicks. you’ll have to train her to understand
your humor, which could take months.
also understand that when you first start dating a foreign chick, no matter how hot she is, she will
feel lower status than you simply because you’re american. that explains their sensitivity to your
sarcasm. treat the foreign girl better than you would treat an american girl. but don’t overdo it
with the romantic sincerity. though it will take longer, foreign girls will eventually sniff out and
trample on betaness as ruthlessly as american girls.
Actually it’s wracking your brain (like nerve-wracking). I’m not picking nits. I just think this kind of slip is
way beneath you.
i know that. it was an ejaculatory typo. i was thinking of breastessesss when i wrote it.
Peter”
This dude is a little disturbing. I occasionally read through the comments and he’s continually
making reference to paedophilia and pubic hair.
Also, the table is pretty well honed, but you overlooked the PDA shit test.
My girlfriend of just over a year, when around her friends and in public, constantly pouts her lips
in a kissy face and waits for me to bend over to kiss her. i never do it; i just stare at her with
annoyance and then say No.
At first she’d laugh and stuff, now she acts all hurt by it. I’ve tried rationally explaining why I’m
against it (I’m against PDAs and against her attempt to use me as a ploy in public), and I’ve also
told her that if she wants to kiss me she can lean over to me and do it. But she has started getting
her feelings hurt over it. What’s the best way to handle this PDA shit test?
no. unless you want to ham it up like an autistic pornstar. “i’m cumming, definitely cumming. oh
yes, definitely… definitely cumming.”
girls who express disgust or contempt when you cum in their mouths unannounced are not good
long term prospects. they are likely to be bitches. or lawyers. same diff. most normal girls who
have a problem with surprise spooge will take it in their mouths and then go to the bathroom sink
to spit it out. that’s ok, tho swallowing is a sign of deep deep, full-throated love.
if you want to straddle the fence on this issue, you can prepare her for the blast without
announcing it like a street corner newsie. just make your moans louder and your thrusts harder. if
she hates cum in her mouth, she’ll get the message and finish off the last couple strokes with her
hand.
“I’ve found the hot and heavy can’t get enough of each other fucking like bunnies sex
usually lasts a good 4 months, with strong passion remaining for up to a year.”
I’ve been with my old lady for 13 years, and the sex has always been hot and frequent. In the past
year, it’s actually been as hot as any time I can remember. This is normally after I take her on an
emotional rollcoaster. When she thought I was having an affair? Unfuckingbelievable sex. When I
announced that I would, indeed, be banging other chicks on the side? Same result.
You would really give that entire lecture after one asshole-ish comment? You don’t sound like
much fun at all.
I told her that I would say the same thing that she would if I decided to quit my job and didn’t
feel like working anymore so that I could relax on her income.
wow, yeah, i’ve gotten almost the same crap from girls. couple of thoughts: you could pretend like
you’re acquiescing and go in for the pucker, only to veer off at the last second and smack her ass.
or tell her to close her eyes, then put your dog or cat up to her mouth to kiss it.
another thing you could do — take it to the extreme. give her all the pda she can handle and then
some. so when she makes the pouty mouth, go in for the kiss, except rev it up and make out with
her massively, licking her neck, squeezing her ass, shoving your tongue in her ear.
you gotta train girls like they are dogs — with the doggie treat and the rolled up newspaper.
You would really give that entire lecture after one asshole-ish comment? You don’t sound like much
fun at all.
“Not going there!” with a smile is hardly a lecture. And yes, I did say I was leaving.
Polish and Russian chicks HATE HATE HATE each other. Saying “lublyu” to a PL chick
will be taken as atomic-level neg. “Lublyu” for Russian chicks, “kohanye” for Polish.
Alas, I wouldn’t know what to say to Finnish chick. Never had the pleasure, despite my fervent
hopes when I once entered a coed spa in Helsinki, which turned out to be as empty and cold as a
DC Lawyer chick’s tit.
After 6 weeks of dating and nice and heavy sex she starts shit testing me heavily.
Last Sunday night she cooked she cooked me and some friends dinner. During a conversation, my
phone rang and it was my 13 yr old son. She was talking and I asked for a bit of quiet. She did not
stop talking so I “shushed” her. After everyone left, she looks at me and says…
Me: “It’s better if I left right now, I have better things to do than be berated.”
That night she texts me twice and leaves a message apologizing. I ignored all her communications
till next morning. And we are fine again.
I know this is not a long-term relationship but any man who caves into a women’s shit test
deserves any resultant pain on their psyche.
Tonight at 6 I have another date with a coworker at a local bar. Never ignore other options while
dating an “iffy” woman. If your not sure she is the one for you, than make sure to continuously
look out for other options.
I maybe 43 but with my Mediterranean ancestry and looks and 4-5 times Gym workout I figure I
can keep dating younger women till I’m 48-50 years old. By that time I’ll look to settle down with
one in her early to mid 30’s. Keep your cloths in style and always be clean and presentable
without looking like a nerd. Yes that means buying new shirts at least twice a year and getting rid
of ones that have past their expiration notice.
Really, really good post. As a female (and once in awhile shit tester) I can say the entire
post is very accurate.
You are such a beta… any man who wants to avoid insults should turn his nutsucks into the
nearest NOW chapter.
Never ever let anyone and that includes your girl verbally jab at you without consequences. It just
emboldens them to further verbal abuse.
1. Laugh and change the subject. Slightly more powerful than I&S, more likely to piss her off.
2. Answer with a kiss. Push her up to the wall, hold her hands back, and kiss her with passion.
The goal is for her to moan. Don’t forget that stirred emotions, even negative ones, lead to the best
sex.
This one is also real easy to put into practice, for guys with a bit of brainpower for good snappy
amplify side sarcastic comeback. Even for those that don’t have much horsepower up there, it’s a
good strategy. Anything wild on the amplify side will work at least a little.
@celtic As for foreign girls not picking up on sarcasm and irony in practice, yeah I’ve gotten that
too.
In addition to alternating reassuring (if also partly sidestepping) answers with sarcastic ones, I’ve
also just flat out explained the love of sarcasm in certain wide circles in the US and Britain, and
then gave examples, coming back to something like: “you’re supposed to be able to tell, because
you’re confidant enough. It’s supposed to be a little conspiracy between us. You know that if I say
something extreme enough in response, what I mean is the opposite of what I said.” That actually
is a tad misleading. It ignores the fact that what you’re really doing is leaving the answer a touch
ambiguous, but it works well.
You’ll find you need to explain it again several times. Each time with more shorthand. Then you
can just look at her funny and she’ll go – “oh, sarcasm”. You can then say “gold star for you” and
smirk. Or something like.
I agree with this. I did not set limits and boundaries in my old relationship, which is why my ex
still sees fit to call me all kinds of nasty names while feeling justified.
It was because for years I tolerated them. My mom trained me to put up with the verbal abuse.
Where is a 10 year old kid going to go when mom yells at the kid? So in my old relationship I
acted like that same kid, thinking I had nowhere to go.
Now I know better and would not put up with the abuse. I wouldn’t let a man yell at me for half
an hour anymore. I also would not yell or verbally abuse the person I’m with. If I ever catch
myself feeling that way again, I would first take a moment to see WTF is wrong with me, and if
the problem is really not me, I’d leave.
Girls enjoy your humor, and they will try to elicit it upon request. Joke type answers will be a
show you put on for her amusement. Overuse A&A, and she’ll deem you a tool.
good point, basil. it’s easy to be too cocky and become her dancing monkey. A&A should be
alternated with I&S (Ignore & Switch). the switch is best done non-verbally, or, if verbally, to
something completely unrelated, like examining a physical flaw, as you noted.
This is similar to something S.A. said – sometimes the best response is none. I think I give no reply
or silence and smile to 15% of what my girl says.
Silent brooding over a computer focusing on business might not be considered game, but if it’s an
alternation to wild intimacy or a night on the town, it’s a contrast, that the girl does not choose,
and that’s game. You make her feel up or down, you are the script-writer of the movie. She
doesn’t know if it’s a comedy or a romance or an action thriller coming up.
One ignore and switch I like to do is the sexual non-sequiter. Can’t think of examples just now, but
she’ll say something boring, and I’ll reply something like “Exactly, that’s what I mean. That’s why
I need to fuck you right now.”
Heh.
I always hated “please rsvp”, because 3/4 of the “rsvp” already means please.
Aren’t I a great character? My antics go right to the funny bone! If you liked Chef you’re
going to love Mr. Derp.

There seems to be a mistaken belief among the betacracy that game may be good for
pickup but it’ll do nothing at best, and sabotage at worst, your prospects for a long and
healthy relationship. These are the beliefs of weak and nutless men who habitually
dumpster date women way under their own market value so that they can go on acting like
Dr. Phil castrati without consequence.
Yes. Surely any man, even if he is a soldier, police officer or firefighter, is weak and nutless just
because he doesn’t think game is a good idea in a relationship, or a good idea in general. (Hint:
this does not make any logical sense.)
You are confusing healthy relationships with the kind of relationships you’re having. Your
relationships are not healthy (I also imagine that they aren’t particularly long). To you, a
relationship is not about being with someone you like or love, it’s about control. You devise all
these techniques and rules and analyze every aspect of your relationships in minute detail just to
make the woman stay with you. That is your only goal. Holding women in thrall to your mighty
cock is all you care about, and the reason why you can’t have them dump you is because it would
damage your ego and delusions of alpha grandeur. Your relationships are all smoke and mirrors
without a hint of sincerity or seriousness.
On the other hand, the women you date are obviously so shitty (hence the rampant shit testing
and whatnot) that it would be difficult to care about them. Ok, you can obviously date whomever
you want to, but don’t extrapolate information about all women based on the ones you date and
then hand out relationship advice to other people.
The sample dialogue you posted reminds me of the fact that PUAs are like some fucking
goosestepping clone army. Absolutely no personality, individuality or variation, just the same
predictable “cocky/funny” bullshit over, over and over again, 24/7, rain or shine.
DeepThought
I know this is not a long-term relationship but any man who caves into a women’s shit test
deserves any resultant pain on their psyche.
Don’t date low quality women who shit test. Whether you cave in or provide the correct answer,
you are still subjecting yourself to her childish shit testing instead of walking away.
I expect that this message will not survive the inevitable moderation barrier.
This is also a great part of Game to practice with your wingmen or lair co-participants.
Have one throw the test out, while you practice a witty and casual reply. Do this until the practice
is enough to make it second nature.
A great way for two guys to help each other practice honing their Game.
Or just relationship day… you don’t have to be so predictable as to pick a specific day, but
one relationship game post a week would be appreciated.
Brazil played Estonia yesterday to commemorate 100 years of the estonian football
federation. The estonians didn´t play, they hit and fought the whole game.
Brazilian players got irritated because that was supposed to be a “friendly match” and Brazil
plays Argentina in two weeks. Also, most of the team will start the European season in September.
TJF, when you decide to shoot random people in a finnish shopping mall, please tell us on
the day before. I´ll keep an eye on bloomberg the whole day!
His point was that saying ‘pin number’ is repeating the word ‘number’ twice. No one says
‘ATM machine’… at least that I know of.
Right.
Fascinating stuff. Jung was actually advocating game before WWI, and predicting an eventual
national meltdown due to American women going off the hinge (because American men need to
learn game — seriously).
Uncanny.
Of course, girls can do it, too. The boyfriend and I “agree and amplify” alll the time…it helps that
most of our conversations are just really long non-serious flirtations interspersed with nerdTalk. I
suppose anyone who’s gotten the flirting/teasing thing down pat will know that “agree and
amplify” is something you do on the regular, without even noticing it.
It does seem that we were a bit hasty in coming up with examples, though? I mean, do girls really
say things like, “Sometimes you can be such an asshole. My ex knew how to treat a lady.”? I feel
like this would be covered in How to Talk to Men 101.
SRSLY.
Some do it more often then others, but it’ll regularly occur in most M/F relationships, including
w/ your female friends, relatives, and co-workers from time-to-time, albeit in a different dynamic
from a romantic relationship.
I had no clue how badly I was failing shit tests, and why I was always getting into passive-
aggressive conflicts. I thought shit tests were logical inquiries based on linear thinking.
Upon reading the A&A approach to shit tests, now-defunct PUA blog “The Reality Method,” I
thought long and hard about how many times I had encountered such tests and failed them
miserably.
The first time I tried A&A, when she asked me if I had a mistress, and I answered that no, I had 4
of them, and I was getting worn out trying to keep them all plus herself satisfied. I was holding
my breath trying to see what her reaction would be….she giggled and said “you’re so delusional!”
To which I than A&A again…”Damn straight, how else do you think I’ve stayed married to you
all these years?” The conversation turned into playful teasing, ending with me spanking her ass
and starting to playfully roughhouse.
Inside, I felt like I had just discovered the holy grail. I spent YEARS in the “What do you mean
you think I have a mistress? Why would you think that? You know you’re the only women for
me!”
The next time I got another shit test from her, I was more than ready for it:
A sting operation.
In essence, it is a women’s biological, subconscious gut-check: either it’s “AHA! I KNEW YOU
WERE NOT THE ALPHA YOU PRESENTED YOURSELF TO BE! YOU DISGUSTING BETA…I
CAN’T BELIEVE I LET YOU SEE ME NAKED!”
There seems to be a mistaken belief among the betacracy that game may be good for pickup but
it’ll do nothing at best, and sabotage at worst, your prospects for a long and healthy relationship. These
are the beliefs of weak and nutless men who habitually dumpster date women way under their own
market value so that they can go on acting like Dr. Phil castrati without consequence.
Yes. Surely any man, even if he is a soldier, police officer or firefighter, is weak and nutless just
because he doesn’t think game is a good idea in a relationship, or a good idea in general. (Hint:
this does not make any logical sense.)
According to Carl Jung, founder of Analytical Pschology, game is essential to good relationships.
You are confusing healthy relationships with the kind of relationships you’re having. Your
relationships are not healthy (I also imagine that they aren’t particularly long). To you, a
relationship is not about being with someone you like or love, it’s about control.
I’ll take Jungian psychology over your delusions about constitutes love any day.
Dreamer,
I do agree that Women cannot help shit testing and that Men must be able to deflect it when it
happens. Humor is the best way, but there comes a time when more…aggressive methods are
needed.
What I’ve found is that Black Women tend to “frontload” the shit testing, say, earlier on in the
dance, so to speak, though some go thru their moods more and so on. That’s when I either get
humorous, or, depending on my mood, just step outta the way and let her stew in her stuff.
And when I’m really tired of the shit testing, I go completely silent. This is like death, because I’m
usually a quite talkative person. So when I’m silent…
Take last week. Brown Sugah was giving me the usual shit tests, and I went completely stone
cold.
Brown Sugah: *after not hearing from me for about 2 hours* Are you mad at me?
Obsidian: Kinda.
BS: Fine. Suit yourself. I’ll see you later on @ …… . Because Daddy gets what he wants….
The Obsidian
My bf does this all the time! And I’m usually left speechless most of the time.
Yeah, I feel ya. The gist of it is all in there — my point was just that the lines themselves
are not what you’re (usually) going to explicitly hear. Something more like “I’ve never had a guy
treat me like this,” or “I’m not used to guys who are such assholes,” might be more plausible.
Would she really pit you directly against one of her ex’s?
@ Encolpius
Here is some excerpts of what The Reality Method wrote about before he pulled his site down
(this shit was so life altering, I saved it to my hard drive long before he decided to take his blog
down):
The shit test is possibly the most brilliant social weapon women have in their arsenal.
Also known as a “congruency test”, the shit test is a tool used by women both consciously and
unconsciously to “screen” the men they come into contact with.
Women, being blessed with only a limited number of eggs (chances to reproduce) are sexual
selectors: they must chose who they will (and will not) sleep with.
Men, having a basically unlimited number of sperm, ought to try to impregnate as many
women as physically possible, in hopes that some of them will bear children.
Therefore, women are sexually receptive, and men are sexually aggressive. Women get many
more offers for sex than men, and must choose which, if any, man she will decide to pair her
eggs with in an effort to carry on her genes.
These evolutionary facts have carried over into modern society and dating despite recent
technological advances like condoms and hormonal birth control.
But condoms and birth control are logical instruments; and choosing a mate is an emotional
process for a woman.
Women, especially attractive women, get plenty of offers for sex – therefore they have learned
to put a large part of their “screening” method on autopilot.
I’m fat
These question/statements have two very specific answers. One can either answer positively
or negatively. As in,
Or,
The crux of the dilemma, of course — and what makes shit tests so powerful — is that the girl
doing the testing already knows the answer to her question, and therefore, both answers are
“wrong”.
If a girl is asking you if you think she’s fat, or if something makes her LOOK fat, then I will
guarantee you that either A) she IS fat, or B) whatever she’s wearing DOES make her look fat.
If you respond in the positive, and affirm the reality that she already knows to be true, you are
an asshole, because you are insulting her (doesn’t matter that she invited you to do so).
On the other hand, if you DENY the reality that she is / looks fat, you are LYING TO HER
FACE. She now knows you cannot be trusted; she sees that you are just trying to pacify her
and make her feel good.
The question arises: “But don’t women just want us to make them feel good, all the time?”
Yes and no. Women want to feel good, yes; but what makes them feel good is knowing they
are attached to a real man, a man with his feet firmly set in reality, a man who can lead them
and protect them — a man, in short, who doesn’t pander, doesn’t fear their opinions, and
generally makes his own way.
A man, in short, who won’t lie to them to make them feel good.
A screening question or statement the answer to which is already know, that is structured in
such a way that answering truthfully will kill the asker’s attraction to you, and answering
untruthfully will expose you as a liar for the rest of the conversation.
The idea is, all of these questions TEMPT you to lie (in order to placate her). At the same time,
if you resist the temptation and tell the truth, you’re not much better off – because you just
responded in a logical, boring and descriptive way to a stupid rhetorical question, and now
she sees you as just another boring, logical, descriptive guy who is trying to prove himself to
her — instead of a guy who can lead her in conversation and in life.
Do you see how brilliantly this structure screens guys? It truly separates the boring, normal
guys who won’t be able to excite her (in conversation and certainly not in bed) from the oily
line-spitting guys who are just trying to talk their way into her pants.
Being able to sidestep the shit test is one of the most important aspects of interacting with
women. Without this knowledge, you will get shot down / disqualified 95% of the time by
truly “hot” women automatically, without them even thinking about it. I’ve written a lot lately
about more “advanced” topics like bisexual girlfriends and threesomes, but I really think this
post, and getting this one area handled, is responsible for guys getting into better interactions,
more quickly, than all the advanced sex-theory I will *ever* write.
Ultimately, we should be glad for shit tests. They help ensure that every woman we met hasn’t
already been plowed up one side and down the other by 15,000 other random guys.
And this is exactly how A&A works. Because A&A is in it’s very essence, playful flirting…and if
there’s one thing most men forget how to do once they get comfortable and complacent in a LTR,
they stop flirting with their women…they stop seducing them. They start acting “entitled” to
sex…and when this mindset kills her attraction for them, they start to BEG and PLEAD for her to
live up to her obligation as a spouse or LTR partner…which kills her attraction for you even
worse.
Than she starts to “fall out of love.” Or she wants to “find herself.” She “Is just not happy
anymore! I don’t know how much longer I can do this!”
That is interesting.
You are confusing healthy relationships with the kind of relationships you’re having. Your
relationships are not healthy (I also imagine that they aren’t particularly long). To you, a relationship is not
about being with someone you like or love, it’s about control.
I’ll take Jungian psychology over your delusions about constitutes love any day.
Yep, Welmer, it’s very obvious to anyone who looks at the issue seriously and who isn’t blinded
by feminism or political correctness. Great article, btw.
That is interesting.
I just wrote it up on my blog. You can click on my name and it will be right there.
BTW, thanks, Nova. I am feeling truly inspired by my tentative exploration of Jungian psychology.
Fascinating stuff for me.
Was merely mentioning that this “technique” is actually something that most people who are
flirtatious and/or teasing in much of their conversation, employ, be they male or female.
It’s somewhat intrinsic of any light-hearted conversation. It does work explicitly against shit-tests
because it keeps the conversation light — thus making the man appear completely unaffected by
said shit-test…which, as we know, is the only real answer she’s looking for.
Truth.

WTF was that my stomach hurts. Did you just write facepalm or was that typo?
Interesting info.
Exactly.
All women shit test, it’s just a screen to see how you fit in their world. We have to be selective, it’s
a survival thing.
And men ‘gotta learn to find a fun (not just asshole way) to get past the shit testing. Keeps things
interesting…
When I was a teenager a girl I saw would say this a lot, looking back I know she was lying,
given my experience elsewhere.
All women shit test, it’s just a screen to see how you fit in their world. We have to be
selective, it’s a survival thing.
I take issue with the word usage there. If you’re just screening, then you can do it via casual
conversation and deeper discussions. There’s just seeing if there’s a connection. If you’re shit-
testing, then you’re actually giving the guy “shit,” with attitude, snarkiness, and negativity.
Unless all friendly conversations are de facto shit-tests?
I realize that some hot babe at a club is going to have much more of an attitude because she has
guys hitting on her constantly. But as an average, introverted girl, I can screen just fine without
those things. I seriously can’t imagine just flat out saying to a guy I’d just met, “buy me a drink,”
even if it’s done in a teasing way.
What LILGRL says about being witty and playful works for her, and seems to work fabulously.
But it does not suit me. The times I’ve tried sarcasm and wittiness, I got a ton of backlash and
hatred. I just stick to being myself. Being playful is fun and all with people who know me well,
but doing it around strangers usually backfires on me.
I had no clue how badly I was failing shit tests, and why I was always getting into
passive-aggressive conflicts. I thought shit tests were logical inquiries based on linear thinking.
Why would you ever want to validate shit tests by trying to pass them? Shit testing is like a
homeless man approaching you in the street and saying “I’ll bet you five dollars you can’t drink
my diarrhea without vomiting.” You lose whether you succeed or fail, because you just drank a
homeless man’s diarrhea for five dollars. It’s better to just keep on walking.
The first time I tried A&A, when she asked me if I had a mistress, and I answered that no, I
had 4 of them, and I was getting worn out trying to keep them all plus herself satisfied. I was
holding my breath trying to see what her reaction would be….she giggled and said “you’re so
delusional!” To which I than A&A again…”Damn straight, how else do you think I’ve stayed
married to you all these years?” The conversation turned into playful teasing, ending with me
spanking her ass and starting to playfully roughhouse.
Must be nice to know that your personality is dictated entirely by someone else. You have to be
Cocky/Funny PUA Clone #572341 because your wife will not respond to anything else.
It’s a personality disorder. Why would you ask “do I look fat in this” if you are not looking for a
serious answer? Because you have a constant need to create drama and tension (just like on TV).
Yes and no. Women want to feel good, yes; but what makes them feel good is knowing they
are attached to a real man, a man with his feet firmly set in reality, a man who can lead them
and protect them — a man, in short, who doesn’t pander, doesn’t fear their opinions, and
generally makes his own way.
And yet answering truthfully to her question does not qualify you as being unafraid of her
opinion, whereas avoiding the question does. Where is the logic in that?

I’ll take Jungian psychology over your delusions about constitutes love any day.
Are you saying that being in a relationship just to control another person for the purpose of
stroking your own ego is love?
That question is not done bitchy, witty, or sarcastically. In fact, one of the reasons why that is such
a ubiquitous shit test is because the average man growing up brainwashed by our feminist matrix
culture, encounters this from a women posing it in a manner that indicates sincerity.
This is why TV commericals and movies and sitcoms always make fun of guys being “deathly
afraid” of the “Do I look fat?” question.
That is screening….shit testing. Just because you do it differently doesn’t mean it’s not the same
thing.
Saw her next night in dc.. She tried so hard to talk to me. Ignored it.
Why would you ask “do I look fat in this” if you are not looking for a serious answer?

states that women crave mastery.

Me: Right…
Peter go fuck yourself and shut up. You’re routine is old and repetitive, if you’re going to
worship “bush” at least come up with something more interesting and convincing.
After all this time, you’ve still failed to come to grips with the eternal truth most of us
recognize:
Yes, there are women out there who can certainly apply logic to override their attraction towards
a man they know is bad for them…but what inspires the attraction in the first place has
NOTHING TO DO WITH LOGIC.
The fact that you continually fail to recognize this is exactly why I deduced you have never lived
with a woman other than perhaps you mother…but even then, you display an astounding naivete
when it comes to your statements about how women shouldn’t let their emotions and moods
dictate their behavior.
That is the very nature of the feminine essence. That is why the masculine traits of logic and linear
thinking is complimentary in a relationship to a women’s emotional based thinking.
You have continually stated that in your mind, a quality woman is one who’s every behavior and
action is dictated by logic.
glad you found the Jung piece. you should read his memoir “Memories, Dreams,
Reflections”. He’s an interesting guy who gets overshadowed by Freud all too often. Jung was
also a huge inspiration for Joseph Campbell, author of such works as “Myths to Live By” and
“Hero with a Thousand Faces”. Campbell, in turn, was a big influence on George Lucas of Star
Wars fame.
I believe that these guys, Freud, Jung, and Campbell, have a lot to offer in the way of sorting out
the natural inclinations of men/women and the development of healthy, happy relationships. We
need to explore them and read them further.
LOL
Would you like fries with your whip? Maybe extra lard sauce? You’re boyfriend is cool.
To answer you in your own language, the article Dave copied explained the LOGICAL
answer to your question. She does it to assess your potential as a mate.
Next time you could try quoting me in context. The rest of the paragraph was: “because you have
a constant need to create drama and tension (just like on TV).”
This is kind of like asking if you look fat because the objective is to create drama and tension.
Which, on the Internet, is kind of like trolling (irony alert).
Or did you manage to find your “special, QUALITY” woman who doesn’t allow her emotions
to dictate her mood?
Welmer
You argued that because Jung said something it must be true. You appealed to authority.
So you’re actually serious. You think a loving relationship is about control, manipulation and ego
boosting.
I suppose anyone who’s gotten the flirting/teasing thing down pat will know that
“agree and amplify” is something you do on the regular, without even noticing it.
Shit tests have many forms, and don’t necessarily equal being bitchy. Shit tests can be endearing
or subtle, especially after months of being together.
Actually, shit tests can reveal a woman’s vulnerability and insecurities… (and it’s up to the guy to
deflect them in a way that shows he has and will always have control of the situation, so she can
relax and feel that he will take care of her / be on top of things , even when her emotions get the
best of her).
for real
Can’t be him.
He has changed if first paragraph was him cause that shit was one of the most fucked up movies
ever put in my mind but still funny.
That question is not done bitchy, witty, or sarcastically. In fact, one of the reasons why that is
such a ubiquitous shit test is because the average man growing up brainwashed by our
feminist matrix culture, encounters this from a women posing it in a manner that indicates
sincerity.
This is why TV commericals and movies and sitcoms always make fun of guys being “deathly
afraid” of the “Do I look fat?” question.
A woman who is emotionally disciplined will not need or want to ask those questions. That
question in particular is easy to answer for herself. She should already know whether or not she’s
fat, or whether or not a particular piece of clothing flatters her figure. OTOH, I do ask for opinions
on what he’d like to see more of in my closet, and for advice on what I should wear sometimes.
If a woman feels insecure in the relationship and starts wanting to get commitment indicators
from the man, she should first look for the root causes. A man who has been giving her reasons to
be so insecure might not be the kind of man she should be with in the first place. This blog is
about letting pretty lies perish, right? Then women should stop lying to themselves that they can
convert a man who does not truly want to be with her into a man who does.
That is screening….shit testing. Just because you do it differently doesn’t mean it’s not the
same thing.
Welmer
You argued that because Jung said something it must be true. You appealed to authority.
So you’re actually serious. You think a loving relationship is about control, manipulation and

Are they still shit tests when I talk to other women? Are they still shit tests if I don’t know
the other person’s gender? Where is the line drawn?

[hand on package]
Good times…
Did I already mention how much I love these posts on relationship game?
“Are they still shit tests if I don’t know the other person’s gender? Where is the line drawn?”
In the case of game, I’m thinking ofwhen there’s potential sexual/relationship interest involved
between yourself and a man.
Look, when you talk to other women, you are not going to consciously or subconsciously attempt
to screen them for relationship worthiness…unless your a lesbian.
But your entire argument appears to be “shit tests don’t apply to me! I use logic, and I have deep
meaningful conversations based on logic to determine compatibility.”
You wrote: My judgment is just intuitive understanding of the other person’s framework.
This is the very essence of the shit test…whatever method you e3mploy, through conversation and
observing his reactions, body language and verbal reactions to WHATEVER language you
employ, you intuitively read whether or not the guy passes your particular test for compatibility.
You’re coming across with this attitude that you are a special little snowflake, since you do not “I
do not throw out little “tests” to see if they pass. I do not ask “leading questions” that you’re
above this “silly notion” of “shit testing.”
No dear, you simply do it without even consciously knowing that your doing it. It IS intuitive.
I don’t pass that test in a witty way. I get irritated and tell her to look in the mirror, and tell
her to never ask me that question again.
You don’t have to be funny or asshole, and you don’t have to pass any god damned test.
Agree and amplify is brilliant. It’s the headlock of wrestling moves. Could be the only move you
ever need. But there are other good moves.
Funny thing is, I find my interactions with my guy to be very easy and natural. So I have a hard
time thinking of any of it as “shit testing.” But I face more difficulties when communicating, say,
with his mom. I get nervous and feel like I’m put on the spot. Maybe it’s because I knew I was
being “evaluated.”
Just because a conversation is non-sexual doesn’t mean there’s no evaluation going on. Interviews,
public speeches, same-sex friends hanging out, etc. But when evaluation goes on with potential
sexual interest involved, that the word shit-test gets thrown about. The word would then seem to
lose its meaning. Why not call it flirting if both people have positive, joking and fun outlooks?
Why not call it being vulnerable if the girl is revealing something about a personal weakness?
So these are all verbal sh*ttest… so what about girls who don’t ask these obvious
questions, I mean she will sound needy and controlling right? Girls like that do non-verbal
sh*ttests maybe?
For example, I’ve never asked a guy about checking out other girls, about whether he’s seeing
other girls, where is this going, etc. But if he doesn’t start ACTING in a certain way (saying he
loves me, introducing me around, etc.) that’s the real proof.
Words are empty, anyone can give a good answer to a question. Actions tell the truth.
Eee I hope I”m not turning into a f-word (feminist) type… please someone e-slap me if I am!!
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2009/8/1/02211/52328
Oh well, at least I got some typing practice in before you posted this.
But next time I’ll do a better search for easier cut and paste.
Anyway, I think I’m going to have to start posting excerpts directly from old books —
paradoxically, that’s a good way to keep your content fresh and original.
I don’t want to be complacent about being a certain weight… why don’t guys tell the truth. I
wrote a post about this… I think some guys either are afraid to tell the truth because they think it’s
a sh*test, or because they don’t realize that I could look better 10 lbs. less.
I guess that goes for anything… what if a girl wants to know the real deal? Are you guys just
avoiding conflict? What if you told her the truth, that yes you were flirting with other girls
because you’re attracted to other women and don’t believe in monogomy? And then with your
actions show that either she has to accept or she can walk?
I really wonder this… humor is great, but what if you told her the truth and helped her to accept
that?
Also… what should a girl do if she wants straight-up truthful advice on whether she
really does look fat?
i would have thought you’d know this already, but for that you need to befriend an
insensitive gay man. they won’t hesitate to tell you you’re fat/getting fatter if it’s true. posing the
question to a boyfriend will either be relationship poison or (if he’s alpha) will strengthen the
relationship at the cause of increasing your insecurities.
Is this not why women almost always list “WITTY” as one of the primary traits they value in
men?
Anytime you instigate or respond to a male in flirtatious conversation, you are in fact
implementing a verbal shit test.
Is not flirting with an attractive male one of the female’s favorite past times? Have you not
encountered men who were physically attractive…but absolute buzz kills because your attempts
at flirting with them were met with utterly clueless, straightforward LOGIC? (Ugh…he’s got no
sense of humor! = He failed your shit test.)
It doesn’t have to be the common questions that have been cited here as examples.
You used another phrase: “testing for compatibility.” To me, this phrasing means
something completely different than a “shit test.”
Example 1: Guy says, “I love techno music.” Girl says, “Cool. I love techno music, too.” A
compatibility thing.
Example 2: Girl says, “If I got AIDS, would you still be with me?” Guy: “??? That came out of left
field!” A shit test.
Maybe I’m getting it all wrong though, and example 1 is still a shit test.
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. I say this as a former personal trainer. Trainers have a
financial interest in telling you whatever they feel they need to in order to continue taking your
money. If they feel they need to coddle you by telling you you’re not fat when you are, that’s what
they’ll do. If they feel they need to put you down to motivate you even if you aren’t fat, they’ll do
that instead.
Every woman with body issues needs to befriend an insensitive gay man (IGM) or learn to cope
with disingenuous answers to the fat question.
After all this time, you’ve still failed to come to grips with the eternal truth most of us
recognize:
I don’t view tjf as a human. I see him as a fake persona – kind of like a chat-bot. A robotic
automaton, programmed to annoy. Whatever you say, he’ll find an annoying come-back, based on
what you say. But there is no there there. There is no human with a personality answering
questions. He’s a troll.
I see DA the same way. I doubt there is a masturbating DA. We’ll never know.
“You used another phrase: “testing for compatibility.” To me, this phrasing means
something completely different than a “shit test.””
This is where you are failing to comprehend. Testing for compatibility is EXACTLY what shit
testing is all about. And I’m not talking about ‘compatibility’ in terms of liking the same
things….that is just another aspect of the feminist cultural matrix of lies that have been crammed
down all of our throats.
If you like techno music, are you telling me you’re gonna think that a guy that doesn’t likes techno
music is automatically disqualified in your mind when it comes to LTR potential? Oh please…talk
about superficial!
Shit tests is an intutitive means for women to determine if the guy they are considering to allow
him to deposit his genetic material into her womb has the suitable genes for her offspring.
Yea set up some situations where guy gets to test metal and makes him feel like man. Also be a
strong woman at same time. he he he

Huh?
poetry of flesh said here she can’t even recall how many blowjob partners she has had .. it’s
beyond memory, and she is only 25.
Interesting.
I pretty much know what I look like, and what I want to look like, and the only people who give
semi-truthful answers (and can point out specifics) are personal trainers. Sometimes modeling
scouts, but they’ll usually want you to be much thinner than you’d want to be…unless you were a
model.
Gay men, from my experience, will tell any and every girl she looks fabulous. Girls, of course, will
get you no where. Guys, of course, will get you no where. So. I guess you just see what works
through trial and error.
I guess that goes for anything… what if a girl wants to know the real deal? Are you
guys just avoiding conflict? What if you told her the truth, that yes you were flirting with other
girls because you’re attracted to other women and don’t believe in monogomy? And then with
your actions show that either she has to accept or she can walk?
I really wonder this… humor is great, but what if you told her the truth and helped her to
accept that?
Men have erogenous zones. If you are afraid of them, you lack man points.
Women can be fat. If you are afraid to tell them, you lack man points.
Some of us like non-monogamy, at times. Sometimes we know clearly that we like it right now.
I’m not aspergy about this, but from day one, and two, and three, I’ve never had any problem
with conversations about any of that.
You’re not really going to get full, unabated truth out of anyone. Something you’ll have to get
over, because it’s called social niceties. Even if they’re telling it like it is, they’re not really telling it
like it is.
that’s why “insensitive” is the crucial qualifier. most gay men, especially the fags for
whom you are a hag, will shamelessly flatter you. but a sizeable number of queers — the kind
who don’t seek hags — are sublimely indifferent both to your feelings and their own financial
bottom line.
trainers can comment on specific parts of you with an air of authority (sometimes phony, most
trainers are actually idiots), but their financial incentive is always operative and entails you can’t
trust what they say.
perhaps modelling scouts can perform the role of IGMs (and there is no doubt significant overlap
between the two sets) but (a) the standards of beauty for fashion models are weird (i find most
thoroughly unattractive) and (b) it’s a lot easier to just make the acquaintance of an IGM.
I also didn’t call you superficial. I said disqualifying a guy simply based on musical taste is
superficial.
Would you not give a guy a chance…who had every other quality you were looking for in a
LTR…but listened to music you didn’t, and didn’t like the same music as you?
If I delay in calling him, when I do call him, he’ll say,”So, how is it going with your other
boyfriend?”
If I say,”You’re my only boyfriend!” he’ll say,”It’s ok, we should be open with one another. I tell
you about all my girlfriends, you tell me about your boyfriends…”
One time we were joking about funny (and lame) excuses to break up with someone, and he
said,”Man, I gotta keep this in mind.”
I said,”Noo!”
He responded,”Sssh, it’s for my other girlfriend. Don’t worry! Oh wait, I wasn’t supposed to tell
you that.”
You forget (ok, so you never knew) that I’m the daughter of two PE/Health
teachers/personal trainers. So I know that of which I speak.
Yeah, many personal trainers out there have fed me some SRS crap. But, on the converse, those
who did know what they were talking about, really knew what they were talking about.
True story on the modeling scouts — most fashion models are…of a strange look, or just plain.
But we’re talking weight, here, and while the weight standards of the fashion industry are over-
the-top, eh, at least it’s something.
After all this time, you’ve still failed to come to grips with the eternal truth most of us
recognize: female attraction is not based on logic.
Yes, there are women out there who can certainly apply logic to override their attraction
towards a man they know is bad for them…but what inspires the attraction in the first place
has NOTHING TO DO WITH LOGIC.
I don’t care. I expect both men and women to be capable of logical thinking and rational behavior.
If they can’t meet my expectations then that’s just too bad.
You have continually stated that in your mind, a quality woman is one who’s every behavior
and action is dictated by logic.
No, a quality woman just knows how to keep her emotions under control, and acts rationally. She
does not, for instance, ask me if she looks fat unless she’s looking for honest input.
This is the very essence of the shit test…whatever method you e3mploy, through conversation
and observing his reactions, body language and verbal reactions to WHATEVER language you
employ, you intuitively read whether or not the guy passes your particular test for
compatibility.
Shit tests is an intutitive means for women to determine if the guy they are considering
to allow him to deposit his genetic material into her womb has the suitable genes for her
offspring.
Asking a trick question about her weight determines if the man will produce good
offspring? That sure makes sense.
Welmer
Great rebuttal.
Do you have anything definitive or substantial to post? You’re just dancing around without
actually saying anything at all.
xsplat
He’s a troll.
And yet you can’t prove it, and neither can anyone else here or elsewhere on the Internet.
But you know what actually is trolling? Constantly making false, unexplained accusations
that are off-topic and irrelevant.

Tokyo, with that perspective, you’d be much better off as a gay man.
Oh, I’m aware that you are blunt. In fact, I know many men who are just so.
The problem with men who are blunt, and know it, is that they’ll oft get attitude-y about it.
Be careful not to be so arrogant as to assume that you are some supreme bringer of the truth.
Be careful not to be so arrogant as to assume that you are some supreme bringer of the
truth.
I no longer fear my arrogance. If I’m wrong, sooner or later something will smack me down about
it. And if not, that’s even better.
And a man can be blunt and also choose to be diplomatic, if that suits him.
Two of my past girlfriends threw this molotov cocktail in response to my decent natrual asshole
game: “what would you do if I died?”
But I want to be superthin yet curvy, like movie star thin! Like Megan Fox or Jessica Alba thin!
Not Jennifer Garner toned and semi-thin, or J Lo toned and curvy. Not cool… I’m even OK with
being a little ana/mia (eating disorder). But they didn’t get it.
I don’t have any gay friends really, acquaintances sure, and would also imagine that they would
only talk about my real weight behind my back rather than in front of it.
just for that whore, Mandy! XD, who loves commies so much and anyone who disagrees with
them are racists and should jutsn get over being attacked by the wonderful and all healing Castro!
Yes, flirting is important… extremely important… it shows confidence and the ability to
just have a good time, and not take things as some deeeeeepp meaningful conversation….
Hm… maybe I read into this whole sh*t test concept too much. It seemed to me on my first
reading that any time a girl asked those questions, the advice was to treat it as some big test.
I guess a mix of taking those questions as jokes and taking them seriously could be best? I guess it
depends on the situation.. and if the question is more accusatory (trying to pick a fight), or if that’s
a good moment to set the girl straight.
@ xsplat
Nice, that’s good that you are strong enough to just tell it like it is.
I must admit that Tokyo is always good for a laugh when he gets into his troll schtick:
Proof? Explanation? No, I don’t need any of that fancy intellectual stuff, because it’s just so obvious.
lurker
Tokyo…you have yet to show how Islam cannot create a viable and successful society. Because
you can’t.
Oh my God, you’re still going on about this. How many months has it been since you lost that
debate? You’re still not over it (and you’re still firmly engaged in off-topic trolling and
flamebaiting in an attempt to disrupt the thread).
@ Lil Girl –
I’ve been trying FOREVER to find an “expert” type of person tell me how I can improve my looks,
every aspect of them. Do you think I should try to consult a modeling scout?
It’s hard to get good advice, because a hair colorist will advise you just on that, an eyebrow artist
just on that, a makeup artist just on that, cosmetic surgeons tend to let you talk about what you
hate and don’t always have a good eye any way… if you have any advice for me girlie, it will be
much appreciated! No worries if not though
Or did you manage to find your “special, QUALITY” woman who doesn’t allow her
emotions to dictate her mood?
I must admit that Tokyo is always good for a laugh when he gets into his troll schtick:
I wish I laughed so easily. I usually have to be slightly drunk or stoned and naked with a cute
chick to have my chuckle muscle so easily spasmed.
I found his “No, I’m not and you can’t prove it!” read without subvocalization and it lead to a
quick page down button pressage from my right ring finger. No emotion at all, other than very
mild irritation at being bored.
@ xsplat
Nice, that’s good that you are strong enough to just tell it like it is.
I’m not sure if that interpretation is accurate. Just as LGs interpretation of arrogance wasn’t
accurate.
I simply don’t care what other people think. Call that antisocial, call it autistic, call it sociopathic.
Whatever. It doesn’t alter my happiness level.
What alters my happiness level is how often my girlfriends laugh and come, and how much
money I have.
I found his “No, I’m not and you can’t prove it!” read without subvocalization and it

See how yet another thread is moving towards the subject of whether or not I’m a troll (a subject
which has never made any sense), instead of the actual topic? This is exactly what you want, isn’t
it?
I prefer the old military standby of Hold and Flank or Fix and Flank. Confront her
question and then put her on the defensive/qualify her with a question.
Such as:
GIRL: “Why didn’t you call last night? Are you dating someone else?”
ME: ”I didn’t want to. Now why would I tell you if I was dating someone else?”
***
GIRL: “Are you just going to sit around all day playing video games?”
ME: “I’m not a kid, I don’t play video games. Don’t ask a stupid question like that again.”
***
ME: “Sure why not, I’m a creature of habit. When I get a new girlfriend I’ll get a new restaurant.”
***
GIRL: “Sometimes you can be such an asshole. My ex knew how to treat a lady.”
ME: …………….*thinking that when woman compares me to her ex I’m losing the mood to
respond at all. There will be prolonged silence. The King is not amused.*
***
***
GIRL: “I didn’t like the way you flirted with that girl at the party tonight.”
ME: “Don’t blame me, she started it. That’s the difference between the two of us. I’m allowed to
flirt, you’re not.”
***
Me: ” I do owe you some flowers, you’re right. You’re outta luck on the poetry.”
***
***
GIRL: [Making it obvious she’s flirting with another guy in your presence.]
ME: “I think I just saw you give me a Get Out Of Jail Free card”.
***
ME: “No. Alcohol bad for you, it’ll fuck up your looks. Aging is bad enough. Add in the alcohol
and your skin will get puffy and loose.”
***
GIRL: [Calls you back two days after you left her a message.]
ME: “Hi….maybe”
***
Trollpoints:
— rape mention
— attributing anything and everything to insecurity
— falsely superior and baseless insulting attitude. Speak with some civility and composure
when outlining your points.
—- Godwin’s Law proven (rape is to gender politics what Nazis or Hitler is to any debate. It’s
not only an exaggeration but an apples/oranges comparison.)
— no points made
— addressing an audience rather than an individual
— the definition for a normal adult is over the age of 18 for most localities. These are the norms
and averages under discussion.
Trollpoint:
— methinks the troll doth protest too much, including the insulting ‘lol’
Hold and flank. Agree and twist it right into her, like a knife into the ribs.
1. Most of you are happy with a life that involves routine shit tests. Is any “free” pussy
really worth that?
Look at a “hot” naked woman over 30 without makeup when you are aroused and ask yourself- is
it worth it? All women are replacable and compliant for the right price, why are you even trying
to care about her bullshit?
Replace her or buy pussy, either way it is more self-respecting than even responding to such
behavior.
2. If you think you can control a woman (who has no utility beyond sex), is it any different from a
woman who thinks she can tame a criminal to do her biding? Is it not equally delusional?
Do you really want to live a life where a good part of your waking hours are occupied by such
useless mind games. I find that many drugs are more fun and less damaging than this constant
bullshit.
I think it is best to let women play these games with guys who care about losing them. What are
you going to loose anyway?
You can buy any kind of ass and compliance..
David: “Stop saying stupid shit and grow up and act like an adult, you stupid useless whore
golddigger.”
Can’t say for certain whether that is 100% true or not, but considering that all these women you
are “gaming” are your girlfriends, and they don’t ask you to marry them AND break up with you
usually after 6 months to a year , its gotta make ya think
Stop caring about what a woman wants. Care about what you want, then think of the way
you want to get it and then do it.
Hahaha. AWSM.

“How many months has it been since you lost that debate?”
—I won the debate, tokyo. I presented evidence solidfying the accepted historical fact that Islam
created successful societies. Evidence accepted by all professional historians as true. Your only
response was to claim that it was all biased, made up evidence without a) showing how literally
libraries and museums full of evidence was biased and made up; and b) any evidence you have to
say their societies were not successful.
“(and you’re still firmly engaged in off-topic trolling and flamebaiting in an attempt to disrupt the

—tokyo, the only one here who is the troll is you.
Tokyo, you are wrong. you are a troll. and you lose every argument you are in.
David: “Stop saying stupid shit and grow up and act like an adult, you stupid useless whore
golddigger.”
Thank you for the assistance. your omeganess. Here we see in David Alexander a specimen of
attributing any behaviour one disagrees with as… for example, immature. Children on average
are known not to be very interested in taking things slower or gold digging, for example. One also
notes the comic exaggeration that dims the line between troll and funny. This example would be
funny, if it were not so tragically true to the DA personality’s personal beliefs.
I must say for any troll afficiando, DA is one specimen you’d want to take back to the lab. Or
Church.
ME DO IT? That’s crazy talk! What does one have nurses for!?

Blah blah blah. You lost, build a bridge and get over it.
You can’t answer me because you made it up. A grown-up admits when he has nothing to
counter and that he has lost a point on evidence. A child stamps his foot and claims he won
without any rational basis. That is what you are, tokyo: a child.
This coming from a person who has been on a non-stop trantrum for many months and who
keeps accusing people of trolling without a shred of evidence even has he himself is the site’s

We just need him to lock horns with Loserfer, and leave the rest of alone..
Good times, good times indeed (before I started failing shit tests, that is). After we went our
sepatate ways, all I had was memories. Elvis Presley said it well:
Sweet memories …
Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you
Damn, failing shit tests fucked things up. Through my twenties, I had many adventures in my
vagabond days, and there were times I was swimming in poon. But, sometimes even swimming in
poon ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. Hit it, Mr. Bon Jovi:
(aside) Hey, betas, I could have been even more cocky and quoted Kid Rock’s ubercocky line:
But that would be an exaggeration. During that time I couldn’t afford staying in hotels.
Anyway, it all worked out for the best, but now I know that if I want to have more of those “sweet
memories,” it’s important to have Relationship Game.
You’re the one who’s still bitching and crying and moaning about it.
lol. Note how the troll operates: I give an entire logical paragraph showing why he lost, and he
skates over it by putting his fingers in his years and screaming, “Nu-uh!”
total child.
Since I’m not a troll, whereas you are a confirmed one, I must assume you are referring to
yourself. Thus, I agree with everything you just said.
in claiming 1) you won the argument; 2) historical documents and artifacts are lies and biased;
and 3) that islam created no successful societies.

definitely win the # 1 troll award, child.

That soundtrack needs a movie to go along with it. Dana, activate Jew Network.
Passing shit tests is key. In my senior year of high school, I dated a real cutie. Good girl,
whose super-alpha rich dad liked me and took me out on his boat on the Chesapeake.
Except — she was a Quality Girl, so I put her, stupidly on the pedestal. And once we
reached the comfort phase, I failed one shit test after another.
Quality girls don’t shit test. She had a personality disorder and was just winding you up.
No, you are. Making random off-topic accusations without backing them up is trolling. Trying to
derail a thread with random off-topic accusations is trolling.
You only say that because I keep calling PUAs out for their bullshit. If you were so concerned
about trolling, you would be going after lurker. But you’re not.

Most of these shit tests sound like something out of a Seinfeld episode. I can’t say as I’ve
ever received one of ’em, or noticed if I had. I think all this is way too complicated: they should be
in your kitchen, cooking or cleaning. If they start getting lippy, god gave us penises to shut
women up. Everything else is commentary. Pretty much every woman I’ve ever dated has
remarked at how well we get along. Of course we get along well; nature designed them to live
under a patriarchy.
I love how your argument comes to : nu-uh, can’t hear you! And, of course, the classic “I
am rubber, you are glue!” defense.
You lose, tokyo.. Tokyo, you are wrong. you are a troll. and you lose every argument you are in. It

Explain in great detail how you connected with her on a sublime level of perfect
understanding….
How your logical conversations reached the ultimate level of conscious attraction….
Tell us how you appealed to her intellectual reasoning to make her fall for your sparkling
personality.
How you reached a deep level of spiritual understanding because of your ability to communicate
purely on a logical level.
Tell us how she was able to control her emotions at all times.
After you get through describing all that, you can give us the final, ultimate guide on EXACTLY
how us poor PUA Clones can find true, QUALITY women…
….in other words, how much do the monthly subscription fees REALLY cost for the Underage
Japanese School Girl porn sites you jerk off to.
Also, there was one famous episode where a woman actually does make him start caring…..he’s
there weeping, and Elaine goes, “But you don’t care about anyone!” and he responds, “I know! Its
so weird!”
For a show I never found funny, Seinfeld did teach you a lot about dating. His approaches, and
Kramer’s as well, along with George’s anti-game failings, show really good game and really bad
game in contrast.
Also, witness Patrick Warburton’s “Puddy” character’s game on Elaine. She constantly breaks up
with him, and his only response is, “Ok,” and promptly doesn’t give a rat’s ass. This enrages her
to the point where she forces herself on him and their back together. It happened about 15 times in
one episode as a joke.
To wit, I was at the gym today, and opposite of me a very good lookng girl, with c-cups,
was running on the treadmill. She was shapely and young, but her sterno-subclavicular antecostal
lipiduous processes, though restrained by a sportsbra, were bouncing in a W-shaped way, nearly
giving her black eyes.
So my question is, don’t over-endowed girls, even as lovely as that one was, HURT when
running? Don’t their boobies pull and stretch, and bruise her liver with one smack after another?
Won’t her lactic glands start herniating through the nipples, forming these odd-looking golfball
sized mini-baloons at the tips of her boobies?
I mean, I have no way of knowing this first hand, as my solid pecs kinda stay in place when I run.
I ask because I care about my female human beings who aren’t blessed with steady little a-cups.

Are you talking about yourself, or some other person, because I’m pretty sure I’ve never
subscribed to a child porn site. I’m also pretty sure that child porn is extremely illegal and not
something you just casually subscribe to. Why are you even bringing up this random subject?
What does it have to do with anything?
Also, the table is pretty well honed, but you overlooked the PDA shit test.
My girlfriend of just over a year, when around her friends and in public, constantly pouts her
lips in a kissy face and waits for me to bend over to kiss her. i never do it; i just stare at her
with annoyance and then say No.
At first she’d laugh and stuff, now she acts all hurt by it. I’ve tried rationally explaining why
I’m against it (I’m against PDAs and against her attempt to use me as a ploy in public), and
I’ve also told her that if she wants to kiss me she can lean over to me and do it. But she has
started getting her feelings hurt over it. What’s the best way to handle this PDA shit test?
Women don’t know what they want, and they expect you to give it to them.
Maybe she wants to be publicly ‘owned'(a step-down, big or little, from outdoor sex).
Just because she hasn’t figured out how to get what she wants doesn’t mean you can’t.
Or it might not be so innocent. Maybe she wants to publicly display ownership of YOU.
Dudes like you are why they had to institute women only rail cars in Japan….
@PA:
At first I thought your preferences for a certain breast size were just that…preferences.
But now I realize that they’re probably fetishes since, eh, 1/3 of your posts say something along
the line of,”A CUP BOOBIES! A CUP BOOBIES! PRAISE JESUS!” or something. Minus the last
sentence.
Back-related problems are acknowledged for those greatly endowed (above D, I believe, at least).
Those greatly endowed are usually female.
Exactly! it was like a bad feedback loop. “Low quality” girls who were just hot enough to
bang responded to my defacto asshole game, which reinforced my perception that only low
quality girls like game.
I love small boobies. They are so tender, so hyper-respnsvie to touch, a girl arches her back like an
electric eel at mere feel of my breath on them. They are poetry, they are like a sweet sundae cone
with a pink little cherry on top that stays the same size no matter how long you suck on it.
Ah Tokyo, not everyone forgot about the picture of the adolescent-looking Japanese
School Girl picture you submitted as your “10? in the female photo submission thread.
Ai Maeda? She wasn’t wearing a schoolgirl uniform in either picture, and she was born in 1983.
Dudes like you are why they had to institute women only rail cars in Japan….
And more unfounded accusations. Humor me: where is your evidence to prove that I have ever
molested women or even contemplated molesting women?
Who cares what they feel like when they look like utter shit?
Dude, you like women with man chests. I like women with actual signs of femininity with some
degree of sexual appearance.
“However, no woman in her right mind dates a guy who ……….and his own car (unless
it’s a truck = immature redneck or a sports car = mid-life crisis and tiny dick).
You aging women are jealous that men don’t shrivel up into undateable prunes when they get
into their 30’s like most women do.
Oh and Dave, check the other Relationship Game thread, there’s something I left for ya.
Tokyo, you know who, feministx, or whatever, isn’t a guy — it’s a mentally disturbed
dyke. It probably contributes to Jezebel for all we know.
Don’t bother arguing with it. Just log its IP and permaban it.
Bullshit. You did not do the daytime approaches I told you to do, with the lame excuse that ‘I
don’t want to bother people’.
But you are more than happy to bother people here with your unwelcome trolling.
Aren’t there video games you can play, instead of coming here?
Other than Sim City 4 which I play infrequently, I stopped playing video games since I
suck at them.
Bullshit. You did not do the daytime approaches I told you to do, with the lame excuse that ‘I don’t want to
bother people’.
Yes, but you’re men on the internet. It’s not the same thing annoying women in the real world and
seeing their mean faces, dirty stares, or the disinterest in their voice.
Women, on the other hand, are looking towards finding their men as truly life-changing
experiences. They invest much more of their personality in a relationship, almost to the point of
absurdity. The effect is counter productive. Women are stuck pursuing the bigger and better deal,
getting old and wrinkled, never realizing that they are being played like a fiddle. Now, I realize
that my post could be interpreted as giving away some secret, but that ‘s not really the case.
Things will remain largely as they are currently – for the foreseeable future, meaning that men
who have good seduction skills will be enjoying their prowess, while others will be squirming
about throwing themselves at the spoils.
You are a selfish and inconsiderate parasite. A whole array of people have tried to be
helpful to you out of the kindness of their hearts (Bhetti, Obsidian, Tupac, and myself, among
many others), and you congratulate yourself on baiting them into pitying you.
While I have spent far less time on you than, say, Obsidian has, I am done with you. You are not
worth it.
My only request is that when, a few years down the line, you go Sodini, make sure the place you
shoot up is some radical feminist gathering, since they are the ones who have created your
pitiable state. Make sure that men, and women not known to be feminists, are not harmed.
The End.
Are you kidding? People do that all the time, which is why I made the point.
The same can be said of many of the alphas here. They’re not paragons of sainthood either.
The correct response is to say “David, you’re a little piece of shit, a little useless prick who
deserves to die. No girl wants you, and no girl should ever want you. You should have been
aborted, you fucking useless mistake.”
Of course I wasn’t worth it, and I never will be worth it. I was flawed from the start and nothing
was really going to fix it. It’s sad that people wasted their time and effort on me, and in one case,
sadly died for it…

David isn’t going to go out Sodini. If I resort to something absurd, I’d make use of my original
plans for suicide during my days at engineering school. I’d electrocute myself from the overhead
catenary on the Morris and Essex Lines between Summit and Short Hills in New Jersey during the
overnight hours when no trains are running. That way, they’d discover a dead corpse on the
pristine tracks in between two of the richest communities of New Jersey…
Stop caring about what a woman wants from you. Start thinking in terms of what you want.
While there are certain aspects of his personality that are peculiar, I cannot say that DA is
being irrational.
While there are certain aspects of his personality that are peculiar, I cannot say that DA is being
irrational.
His situation is not uncommon, and his decision to give up is not so rare.
But then trolling here for sympathy, getting others to try to help him, and then congratulating
himself on having suckered them into taking pity, rather than actually lift a finger to improve his
situation, is selfish, inconsiderate, and pathetic.
The funny thing is that DA on a bad day is less irritating than the ‘nicest’ (least fucked up)
women I have known on a good day.
As for why I continue to engage Dave Alex? Simple. I do it for a number of reasons, but perhaps
the biggest one is because in some ways I see a bit of myself in him. Not as extreme as him of
course, but we share a few things in common: we’re both Black Males; we’re both short; and we
both didnt/don’t think of ourselves as having leading man looks.
And yet despite all of this, I’ve achieved in my life. Particularly in the area of love, sex and
relationships. Hands down it has been the biggest area of life lessons for me, and I will say the
same will prove true for Dave Alex, one way or another.
And I’ve lived long enough and been around long enough to know why Dave Alex really keeps
coming back here. He’s fighting with himself. And losing. His inner self is fighting, hard, to get
out, and the cognitive dissonance is getting so loud now that other commenters, like Bhetti, can
now see it. On more than one occasion we have seen Dave Alex fly off the handle; that wasn’t by
accident. Its a visceral display of the war that is raging inside him-the more he tries to suppress
his humanity, the harder he tries to deny the very essence of who and what he is, the stronger the
reactions from his subconscious will be. And therein lay the danger.
Because I don’t think the mention of George Sodini is that far off. Remember, Dave Alex was
roughly the same age as Sodini was when the latter had his last sexual experience. Imagine Dave
Alex roughly 25 years from now-the age when Sodini lashed out in tremendous pain-it really aint
that big of a stretch.
Like Sodini, Dave Alex also has access to the Game/PUA community, and like Sodini, his
worldview is grossly distorted. The big difference between the two Men however, is that Dave still
has time to turn things around. He can still choose.
He can choose.
The Obsidian
Would it really be so bad if men like DA pulled a Sodini? I mean think of it.. (I have
sadistic tendencies)
Why should people expect you to treat them any better from how they treat you?
There’s more than one way to skin a cat, man. Whatever happened to that checklist we talked
about? Any Man can do that, and you’d be surprised how that will, in and of itself, open doors for
you.
See, you’re focused solely on the Women who DON’T want to be bothered. You have to instead
focus your time on the Women who DO want to be approached.
Now, I think I know wha you’re gonna say: the Women who might be interested in you, you’re
not interested in them. A legit point, but here’s the thing: in order to attract the Women you want,
you gotta give em what they want. Follow me here partner, its just good commonsense. To assume
otherwise is to think like a child, and you’re not a child, right? I mean, even if you don’t actually
put any of this into motion, still, it makes sense, right?
So, doing simple things like updating your wardrobe, wearing a nice cologne, keeping the daily
hygiene up, having a sense of humor, being warm and open to others, etc et al, these simple,
seemingly “little” things, can really open a lot of doors to Women to you.
One major reason why a lot of guys aren’t successful w/Women is because they appear/come off
as “closed off” to Women, and that promotes them not being open to said Men in return. On the
other hand, if you maintain an “open” stance, Women will be more receptive to you.
There’s a bit more to it but I don’t wanna make this out to be a NASA project here. The bottomline
is that if you can yourself more inviting to others, Women will make themselves available to you.
Trust me, I get this all the time.
What you say is mostly true. I see many Sodini-like seeds in DA’s mind, and, barring a
rescue via the invention of sex technologies that get cheap enough for DA to afford in 10-15 years,
the long-term outcome could be similar.
But you have met him 90% of the way. He not only will not meet you with the last 10%, but he
congratulates himself on having successfully trolled you (and others) into expending your effort.
Help those who at least show the tiniest desire to be helped, is my motto.
He said :
Yes, but you’re men on the internet. It’s not the same thing annoying women in the real world and seeing
their mean faces, dirty stares, or the disinterest in their voice.
Plus, I’ll note that while trolling can be tedious, it tends to be rather fun.
That shows me what he thinks of those who, in their generosity, tried to help him.
Game is a crucial part of a Man’s life, and the more he learns and masters and applies it, the better
his life will be. Sodini had no Game at all. Neither does Dave Alex.
I am not sure about the efficacy of such lists and optimism. I buy sex because I refuse to
take any more bullshit from a woman.
Seen too much BS, heard too much BS.. just refuse to take any more. The only kind of interaction I
ever want with a woman is sex (and paying for it works very well).
Why is pulling a sodini such a bad idea? I mean sure.. the guy could have killed more. But
I cannot say that he was a coward or even evil.
I return that favor by refusing to treat a woman as anything other than a 1 -2 hour sex session (no
strings, disposable and fun). We deal with it in our ways, don’t we?
Yuri likes the fact that people take the time to write to him about how to fix his life. David wants
people to hate on that little twerp.
Its a visceral display of the war that is raging inside him-the more he tries to suppress his humanity, the
harder he tries to deny the very essence of who and what he is, the stronger the reactions from his
subconscious will be.
Oh trust me, Yuri’s no better. He’s the quiet little prick that can’t get laid and reeks of his
grandmother’s social phobia. Killing off David Alexander doesn’t mean he get laid. You just get
another happy go lucky single Catholic church going herb with his little hobbies and NPR
membership.
Because I don’t think the mention of George Sodini is that far off.
David Alexander is much better than that. He doesn’t resort to foolish methods that prove
nothing. Shooting a bunch of fat ugly middle aged women doesn’t achieve the aims of the
“project”.
I just do it differently.
1) We cannot condone Sodini. Sodini had choices, and could have gone overseas and
become like xsplat, rather than be depressed. Even if he had not killed random women and
targetting a NOW gathering specifically. We have to be better than that.
Now if DA absolutely has to kill someone, some murders are less tragic that others, but we still
cannot condone this, much less cheer it on.
2) We have seen on recent threads that this sort of thing does not scare feminists into being more
reasonable. If anything, it inspires them to be even more vindictive with a whole ‘See how bad
they are!!’ campaign.
We have to be better than that. There are many, many ways to win by still being better than
encouraging more Sodinis. We can certainly explain why feminism created Sodini and DA, but we
cannot condone or encourage that.
As I have said, we have different ways of coping. I pay hookers, DA comes on this blog,
you give advice, sodini shoots a few women.
I have to say that he did confront his abusers.. and no, they were not innocent. Did they deserve to
die? who knows.. I don’t care. I just like the entertainment.
You are trying to appease feminists. It does not work, but you will not stop trying. You think
women are basically decent human beings, I don’t. You believe in redemption, I don’t.
Not at all. I hate them. I just think there are more strategic ways to checkmate them, and
set them up for a self-inflicted downfall. I see no need to let them make ME a monster.
I have to say that he did confront his abusers.. and no, they were not innocent.
Those were not the same people who mistreated him, and those women may not have even been
feminists. Some kids don’t have their mothers now. It was random. Now, if he targetted a feminist
gathering, that would be more precise, but still morally wrong.
I am deeply cynical and distrustful of humans. I want to he happy for myself, not for others. I do
not care, but like the entertainment.
Since know the truth about female behaviour, I’d much rather have feminism than being
assigned some golddigger who is incapable of loving me or finding me attractive.
You are trying to protect unworthy backstabbers. Why? Just sit back and enjoy the show..
Please explain?
Who cares about them? Think about it this way: What % of women you have met have
mistreated you? and what % have treated you well? what is the ratio?
and you still feel sympathy for them.. are you nuts?
First, I don’t desire Women just for sex in my life, Lucifer. I also greatly enjoy their company, in
ways beyond just mere sex. I respect your right to do as you will, but it is not my way.
Second, TFH, I don’t see my discussions w/Dave Alex as being a lost cause at all, because I know
I’m reaching other guys out there who also may be in need of help but who never posts. If so, if it
only helps one guy out there, then Praise God.
We can certainly explain why feminism created Sodini and DA, but we cannot condone or encourage that.
They’re thirty something women in LA Fitness in Pittsburgh suburb. That screams ugly to
me…

Actually, Sodini was never married, and this never hit with divorce. The divorce laws in America
are so unfair and dehumanizing towards men that I am surprised (and grateful) that we don’t see
a Sodini every week.
In summary, ‘feminism’ (which in the 21st century, really has become rabid misandry), has
hurt a very large percentage of average men, to a very deep and dehumanizing degree.
So it is both the number of men, AND the degree to which they are unfairly brutalized.
The feminists who still rail about how women have it bad have no idea that they presently are
enjoying the very apex of their unnatural and accidental bubble of power (much like Nasdaq 5000
nine years ago), and that the crash back to natural equilibriums is going to happen in about a
decade or so.

Yea this pretty much should dismiss the feminists claims that all men are duhumanized monster
rapists walking the planet. Yea shit happens but out of 300 million not as often as it could.
I want to make sure I have the basic premise clear before I respond further.
It is not about just ‘limiting access’. It is about an outright rigged system that screws over men
from start to finish, merely so as to free women from the consequences of their own choices as
adults. I still say that divorced men have been through worse than Sodini, since the divorce laws
are ridiculously unfair towards men, for any society that claims to be free and equal.
Not too long ago, there existed an unwritten contract between men and women in
America and the West at large. Men spent their years working at shitty jobs, working their
asses off every day and shortening their lifespans, obeying the laws and generally staying on
the straight and narrow, and in return, they had guaranteed access to women through the
institution of marriage.
The contract between the sexes is no longer valid. The wheels had been in motion for decades
prior, but the motions that destroyed the contract for good occurred in the late 60’s and 70’s
If George Sodini had been alive as late as the 1950’s, he would likely have been able to get
married in his 20’s to a reasonably attractive woman (6 or 7, possibly an 8) and have children.
He would not have spent twenty years in an involuntarily celibate torture, allowing his mind
to warp in all sorts of perverted ways.
It is not about Sodini – he is just a small part of the broader pciture. Divorced men were married
and had access to a wife. But they go through things even worse than Sodini did.
The real issue is the pervasive dehumanization of men, under the banner of ‘feminism’, which is
accepted and even celebrated in our society, over the last 2 decades.
Kick a friendly dog enough times, and you get a mean dog. Deny this truism at your own peril.

If you still don’t get it, read the comments section in the “game can save lives” post. If
that’s not enough, rehabilitate yourself with some Judith Butler and start up your futile arm
flailing on a different thread. This post and thread are too good to be sullied by another 2,000 back
and forth comments that ultimately only prove the obvious.
I see the articel goes on to say men don’t like being seen as a meal ticket, or slaving away
at soul-less, stressful jobs… But how do you think women felt about being seen as valuable only
for sex and ability to produce and reproduce children?
I will honestly tell you that I am a feminist by the very definition of the word: complete equality
and protect for women. How is that an evil thing in which to believe?
Yes, perhaps women do have more options now, and since we are marrying (if at all) at a later
stage in life, we are able to see men like Sodini for who he is, and avoid him. I think he was crazy;
finding a wife early on in life and having lots of sex would not have completely changed his
predisposition to insanity.
True feminist do not want to see ANY person “screwed over”; true feminist believe in equality
and see it as a necessity in society–for everyone.
I don’t think women are choosing “bad boys” over good boys, but I do think we are choosing men
who are evolving with us. Instead of railing against the change, why not be happy that women are
enjoying exploring more options available to them–and support them. This doesn’t mean you
have to be weak. I agree with SOME of what the author of this blogs advocates, in that men
should be strong in their own individuality–this is much more attractive to women.
However, if you think that sexual harassment laws and the Violence Against Women Act is the
part of society that’s screwing you over, then the problem is much worse than I originally thought.
As far as the divorce issues goes, I can see it from both sides. My parents went through a divorce
(really tough on my mom) then my father went on to get divorced two more times after my
mother (really tough on my father). These issues get complicated, but I don’t really think they
correlate with feminism and equality.

THEM.
I will honestly tell you that I am a feminist by the very definition of the word: complete equality and
protect for women. How is that an evil thing in which to believe?
This is what most of the men here believe too. I am here to tell you that women have achieved
equality and more, so congratulations, your cause has been achieved. Women earn the same
wages as men for the same job. Women attend college in greater numbers than men.
We are here to say that the pendulum has gotten too far in the other direction, where men are now
second class citizens.
There are many reasonable people here who will debate with you politely. One woman here,
Nicole, can explain things to you in a very fair way, and you could learn a lot about the male point
of view from her.
True feminist do not want to see ANY person “screwed over”; true feminist believe in equality and see it as
a necessity in society–for everyone.
Then true feminists are invisible relative to the radical misandrists. A true feminist was Sarah
Palin, and her husband Todd Palin. Yet, the radical feminists hated her to a shocking degree.
Instead of railing against the change, why not be happy that women are enjoying exploring more options
available to them–and support them.
Women want men to bear the costs of their sexual utopia. All supposedly ’empowered’ and
‘independent’ women are still heavily dependent on the state to transfer resources from men to
women, in the form of alimony, child support, affirmative action, public sector jobs, and taxes on
the rich (who are mostly men).
These issues get complicated, but I don’t really think they correlate with feminism and equality.
Oh, they do. Divorce laws are extremely rigged against the man, particularly a gainfully
employed, honest man.
Why should the woman be entitled to alimony if SHE chooses divorce (which the woman does in
90% of the cases). Why should the man have to pay her if SHE cheated?
Why are women opposed to pre-nups? Why are a fair percentage of men now avoiding marriage,
or marrying foreign women only?
Sodini needed help with social skills. He had almost no friends. It’s really sad. Some of that is
societal because society has changed. In the 50s, Sodini would have been surrounded by nosy
neighbors who would “help things along.”

Ok.
Well, few feminists admit right off the bat that they are totally uninterested in actually
understanding the other point of view, preferring instead to invent the views of the opposition, so
as to ensure those views fit more snugly into whatever adorable little narrative is playing out in
Stick around for the next few days, and converse with the various people here (some of
whom are women). There are important perspectives for you to see.
Second, TFH, I don’t see my discussions w/Dave Alex as being a lost cause at all,
because I know I’m reaching other guys out there who also may be in need of help but who
never posts.
I don’t understand your view. First of all, are you sure that other people read those conversations?
I skip past them and find they clutter up the board. For that, they irritate me.
I think some people are poisonous, and best avoided. They can do no good and can not be helped.
It’s not a pretty viewpoint. There was a time I didn’t feel that way.
Just don’t feed the trolls. It’s common wisdom for a reason. Because feeding the trolls helps no
one.
Thank you for explaining your position here. I want to re-read your comments tomorrow
when I’m not as tired–it’s after 3 and I have to get up soon… But, I may have more questions,
perhaps I will look up Nicole as you suggested, but I would really like to engage a man on this
topic. I’m fairly sure that we will not agree, but I really want to try to understand this extreme
hatred for feminism–especially since it seems to be used to advocate what happened in PA
amongst some people.
Anonymous for Now, a tiny minority of men on this board take a position that feminism
justified the nutcrackers actions. Maybe just Lucifer. Others are saying that feminism
contributed to his actions. Which is very different from justifying his actions.
If you can wrap your head around the nuanced difference between those words – justified vs
contributed – you’ll have gone a long way to understanding many of the sentiments expressed.
What is called ‘feminism’ is no longer the feminism of the 1950s (which has achieved and
exceeded its goals), but rather extreme misandrism. Comprehensive supporting evidence will be
provided by myself and the others mentioned.
Oh and isn’t it amazing how well labeling works. Look at your attitude when the proper label
“feminism” is placed on every evil instead of the label “men”.
What you write might certainly be helpful to others, if they are reading it. But in that case, if you
had your own blog where your writings would be more visible (and more easily referred back to
months later), you would be able to help a lot more people, with people seeking guidance would
actually gravitate there.
If you write something valuable, it is not just valuable today, but could be valuable 90 days from
now too. Over here, it is virtually impossible to refer back to a great posting, as there is no way to
search the ‘Obsidian archives’.
So helping others beyond DA would be better served with a blog containing the same
commentary.
“Incredible. I had a guy break up with me because I didn’t test him like that. I liked him
how he was and didn’t try to move things along. I actually appreciated him. It seems like you
guys thrive on women treating you like crap and being treated like crap in return. Every time I
sense a guy is gaming me, I chuck him. I had a guy who put me on short phone calls and was
never available. I didn’t want to continue with things because I thought he would be a crappy
boyfriend. It wasn’t a test, it was the truth.”
But this all depends on what kind of WoW guild you are in.

help me quite a bit to avoid falling into these traps.

2. when i search the blog for my comments i come up with zilch, does anyone know how i could
do this?
I never had delusions about women. I never wanted to make nice, protect them or care
about them if they did not reciprocate the favor.
Social systems that do not treat individuals well cannot expect them to keep playing nice. The
difference between you and me is that I am not willing to believe in something whose existence
cannot be verified.
Once society starts mistreating more than a small minority of it’s individuals, it is destined for
collapse. However many like to think that their society is special.
As an example- The problem with ‘might makes right’ is that you might one day loose ‘might’ and
then the person holding the ‘might’ will sodomize you with it.
Whites in the US have long treated blacks as subhumans and behaved as if ‘might makes right’.
when any white person tells me that they are afraid of blacks, I often ask them about how we
reached here.
How does it feel to now stand at the other end. If you are not feeling it yet, don’t worry –
you will.
Demography, technology and the spread of education are a destabilizing combination. I am just
enjoying the show..
All of the girls I’ve stuck around with long enough to have “relationship” fights with me
have always complained that it’s impossible to argue with me because I just adopt their own
arguments and use exaggeration to make them look ridiculous. I never actually address any of
their points, I just make them feel stupid for even raising them to begin with. It works like a
charm. I never have to lie to her and she’ll be apologizing to me after rightfully accusing me of
fucking around on her.
I feel like I’ve observed a similar thing – I think most men are not self-aware of how much
they do like a little bit of a challenge. Sh*t testing is one way to challenge.
I think most men don’t realize that a girl who is too nice, too accepting, and too unselfishly loving
sets off the “desperate” or “annoying and needy” sensors. Some guys on this blog here boil
everything down to a how a girl looks, but hello… when there are millions of hot and sexy
women why would a guy stay with a boring girl when he can just leave and find another hot one?
Guys love to “win” at flag football, in office politics, etc. and I think they need to feel they “win”
with women too.
P.S. Nice blog. I’m also very spiritually (and religiously) inclined, so glad to have run across it
Also…it’s really interesting reading the whole David Alexander discussion here with Obsidian,
Fifth Horseman, Doug1 (I think), Bhetti even… I can understand why so many people here try
again and again and again to help… we can all see a little of DA in ourselves I think, that urge to
give up or whatever.
I would have said it like this “men don’t have “help, my wife’s hit the WALL!” crisis.
I would have said it like this “men don’t have mid life crisis they have “help, my wife’s hit
the WALL!” crisis.
Now I know. But I do think that the psychological processes of pick up and LTR game are pretty
different. I may not be confident enough to woo girls on a bar, but I´m not allowing my girlfriend
to mess with me.
I totally agree with you chick! I’ve been told I try too hard by men in my life (alphas). I had to look
at this long and hard. Truthfully I don’t feel desperate, have lots of opportunities to date. So if its
not desperation what is it? I came to the conclusion that my naturally easy going, people pleasing
ways (I get pleasure out if it, not passive aggressive) came off as too easy to please. They missed
the challenge. I was in many ways too easy, and I’m not meaning that in the sexual sense,
although heck that too. It truly takes quite a few factors which aren’t easily realized in men I meet
for me to even consider a relationship (hypergamy at work) so when I do, ya I’m ready to go for it.
This “I’ll jump right in” quality I think is too intense and I have to learn a little girl game.
I know you guys say its all about looks and sex. I agree. I’m no slump in either category yet I feel
men lose interest when they realize I’ve been fairly easily conquered time to move on. This is what
I came to realize/understand. So fellas does anything I above ring true? Any advice for the next
time I get the feeling a relationship has real potential? Ways to play it? (besides looking my
absolute classy yet sexy best).

Lucifer,
I can respect where you’re coming from and would never judge you for the way in which
you conduct your life. As I’ve said several times in the forum, not only do I think that
prostitution/escorting should be made fully legal, but that so long as a Man and a Woman are of
legal age of consent and are in mutual agreement of their own free will, I’m completely cool
w/whatever arrangement they’ve come up with.
That said, and while I see where you’re coming from wrt Sodini and the wider implications of
Feminism etc, for me it aint about “them”, ie Women, its about me, as a Man. Being an asshole aint
me, Man. Never has been, and I suspect, never will be.
But that doesn’t mean that I can’t or won’t stand up for myself. And people who try to take my
kindness for weakness often live to regret it.
So, I basically avoid the Women who I think would in some way be bad for me. And it’s really not
as hard as it may sound. The ugly truth is that for every asshole guy walking around, there’s at
least one corresponding bitchy over-entitled gal out there, too, and I simply decided, long ago,
that I won’t tolerate that in my personal space, in my mind, in my life. Period.
And I don’t have to be mean or ugly in going about it, either. In fact, I’ve found that being
respectful and adopting a “Silence is Golden” stance is far and away more “lethal” to a Woman’s
psyche than all the dramatic stuff a goodly number of asshole douche types do.
But overall, I’m basically a smooth, cool, laidback, gentlemanly dude. I like Women, and I enjoy
their company, both sexual and nonsexual. Nothing wrong with that, right?

I think someone upthread or on another thread said something about “sauciness.” This is
something I’m really deliberating… hopefully some guys here will offer up their ideas.
I think some girls nowadays try to be a challenge but do it in a bad way, like the whole “I’m so
busy” thing a lot of girls do, or when they try to brag about how many guys hit on them, or try to
emasculate men or something.
Great link, very accessible and easy to read. Hadn’t heard of this Devlin guy but had seen
his name mentioned, looks like he’s worth checking out.
That’s why I thought what The Urban Scientist over at Psychology Today said was so very
profound about the Seduction Community, and in so many ways he’s right, its virtually
unprecendented. And again, for all the problems Feminism may have wrought in our time, the
fact remains, that in the end, Women can’t nor should help boys grow into Men. That’s our job.
I am well aware that Dave Alex has his issues, and the very fact that he keeps coming here says to
me that deep down, he sees something here that is of value to him. In my faith tradition, we are
called to assist others. Chairty is not contingent on the acts of the recievers, or what their
intentions are, etc. The bottomline is he’s here and I for one wouldn’t be a Man if I simply turned
by back on him like the stranger on the road to Jericho.
So, maybe he’s playing me, like he may be playing errbody else here; if so, so be it. As I
understand it, Dave’s a somewhat religious Man, and if that’s true, then he’ll have to account for
his actions when his time comes. But for me, I’m not gonna give up on Dave Alex. Doing so
would be a diss to St. Jude.

Being accessible w/a minimum of snark, etc et al, is the best way to go.

Yaaay!!
I’m black, just turned 26 and I’m stlll a virgin…but man DA I’m not so down on myself all the
time…how someone could be so down on themselves is disgusting.
I’m going out tonite and keep in mind, I have no idea how to even talk to women and I’m socially
inept…
But DA unlike you I don’t want to collect pity from people on this board, only advice, maybe new
friends and mentors…
Keep in mind DA…from 24-25 I went through a shitty phase where I “accepted my reality”…but
man fuck that shit…let’s get embarrassed, humiliated..
Instead of collecting pity…maybe you should try to network with folks who know what they’re
doing…
I’m in the EXACT same situation as EXTRAMASK(zero experience with women at 26) from the
game and shit inspires me…
DA stop allowing these people to pity you…Do you live in DC? if so, maybe we can go out and
try to push each other
Remember DA the women on this board who pretend to pity you…are going out tonite…to mess
with …the real men
Any facts that contradict him are ignored as if they never happened. Any arguments made are
ignored. He continually claims the opposite has happened as to what has actually happened.
Deny, deny, deny, demand ridiculous standards of others you don’t hold yourself to, claim victory
when you have lost, blame any complaints about you (“troll”) as being the projection of others
failings upon him (in itself a projection), no matter the volume; and fail occam’s razor on every
argument you make.
More detail on this later, but for now I’d just like to say that this, in particular, is nonsense. If it
were true, then Game would not work, and believe me, Game *does* work.
And the women who have chosen so-called “evolved” men are getting bored to death with them.
I’d recommend perusing an article by Sandra Tsing Loh in last month’s Atlantic. Loh describes
how she and her friends were all bored to tears with their “evolved” husbands, whom they
admitted were fantastic around the house and with the kids. Why? The attraction died, that’s why,
and with it the sex died. The women she describes in her article wish their husbands were more
like men of yore in chasing their secretaries and so on, and muse wistfully about how women in
Scandinavia are increasingly preferring Muslim immigrant men to Scandinavian men because the
former are more traditionally masculine. I’m not making this up — go read the article. It’s a real
eye-opener about what women *really* feel about living with “evolved men” 15-20 years down
the pike.
Another resource to peruse is the recently published and extremely well-written book by Cristina
Nehring called “A Vindication of Love”, in which she bemoans the stable love that evolved
“equalist” relationships contain and pines for wild, passionate, unequal, uncontrolled love and
passion.
So much for women preferring “evolved” men. I think some women think this way when they are
in their 20s and filled with feminist ideology. Older women, like Loh and her friends and Nehring,
have experienced these equalist relationships with “evolved” men and now are being honest with
themselves and everyone else: they were bored to death with these relationships because they left
them with many unruly yet unmet needs.
More later.
Any facts that contradict him are ignored as if they never happened. Any arguments
made are ignored. He continually claims the opposite has happened as to what has actually
happened. Deny, deny, deny, demand ridiculous standards of others you don’t hold yourself
to, claim victory when you have lost, blame any complaints about you (”troll”) as being the
projection of others failings upon him (in itself a projection), no matter the volume; and fail
occam’s razor on every argument you make.
Self-criticism is good. I hope you share this with your therapist also.
Not that I have anything invested in this either way, but I have to ask: why do you come to a PUA
blog to denounce their practices, where your message — even if cogent and well-delivered — is
far more than likely going to fall on deaf ears?
These guys are not doing anything to women that the women aren’t permitting them to do. If the
women don’t like it, all they have to do is walk away. (I won’t defend the Soldini-supporters: they
can join their hero in hell…but that’s beside the point.)
I mean, would you stomp into a fundamentalist religious service bellowing that there’s no God?
Not that you couldn’t, of course, but it would be bad form at best, and more importantly, utterly
pointless.
I agree w/Nova in that its so important to try and maintain that sexual attraction spark w/your
Woman; its a simple, though not always easy, matter of constantly seducing her. They can’t help it.
Women long to be seduced, that’s just the way it is, and Men would be wise to learn this and learn
it quick.

Completely agree with you, girls can’t act like guys in terms of “Game” because feminine and
masculine ideals are different.
But as aoefe and I were talking about, it seems like there is too much of a good thing, so to speak,
if a girl is overly nice and caring it ALSO seems like a turnoff.
———-
Evil and false. Women are inferior to men. Gender equality is a pipe dream. When you try to
enforce a falsehood and in the process upset the natural order of things, bad things happen.
Feminism has never been about ‘gender equality’. That was a noble sounding excuse, not unlike
‘switch off lights and save the planet’ or ‘go vegan and save the animals’. The real goals were
matriarchy and empowerment of women at the expense of men. You get Title IX, affirmative
action, VAWA and similar bullshit.
There is nothing inherently good in feminism, because its foundation was a pack of lies. And there
is no ‘good’ or ‘moderate’ or ‘rational’ feminist in contrast to the more infamous bra-burning,
Harriet Harman screeching cunts. All feminists are of the same corrupt source.
Ironically, feminism has liberated men indirectly. Men who have gone their own way, avoided
marriage will remain unscathed. In the good old days of our parents/grandparents, when
marriage 1.0 lasted as long as the marital vows, most people had to get married to get laid, and
even paid sex was hush-hush and largely frowned upon.
Now, marrriage 2.0 which lasts a few years and does nothing but screw men over, has nothing to
offer men. Apply a little game and you can bed a decent number of women, including someone
else’s wife. Not married, not legally stuck to a fast expiring piece of meat for the rest of your life,
and yet still can have a vibrant sex life. Fantastico.
Thank Gloria Steinem and the hordes of feminism worshipping, gender equality seeking useful
idiots, both male and female.
@Obsidian —
True, but by “evolved” I didn’t mean anything other than men who are diehard equalists. I didn’t
mean to say “women only like assholes”, but that this “evolved/equalist” stuff doesn’t really
work, because women, in the end, do not like it.
Pupu applied the same search term but replaced “dana” with “pupu.” It brought Pupu to
the realization of the vast quantities of droppings Pupu had left here over the years :O
But for those of us who enjoy a more relaxed pace, and desire a bit something more longer lasting,
courting is very important, and here is where it really helps Women actually. Because that way,
you’re not pressured to “put on a performance” of one kind or anything. One way or another. You
can take your time w/the prospective suitor, and *he* isn’t pressured to make a move all in one
day/night either.
Personally, I don’t do Women I don’t court for some time. Other guys here may have a different
view, God bless em all. But that’s not me. I enjoy the process, and have a deep and profound
respect for it. And perhaps explains why most of my relationships lasts longer, and has more
sexual passion, than many people’s marriages.

Most male commenters here agreed that every single woman sh*ttests. Well what if you all were
to do a quick mental exercise… imagine a woman who never sh*ttested you ever:
– When you come over to approach her, she brightens up with a big smile, dotes on your every
word, laughs at your every joke, and smiles at your negs. and agrees with them
– When you ask her out, she says yes with glee and no issues
– When you call, she answers. She calls you the next day just “because she felt like talking to you,
you’re soooo coool” and “to find out what your favorite stuff is”. She calls you several more times
that week
– When you ask to go back to her place on the first date, she says OK
– When you ask to do all sorts of freaky things with her on that first date, she says OK and does all
of them with no resistance whatsoever
– In the morning, she makes a meal of all of your favorite breakfast items. She offers to drive you
home, and also asks if she should bring you some delicious homemade lunch that week. She tells
you that she loves you
– She calls you all the time just because she wants to “hear your voice” and because “she loves
you and is sooo lucky to have you”
– She comes to your work to drop off a gift and also give you a quickie of whatever freaky thing
you like all the time
– When you go out again, you openly flirt with other girls and she doesn’t do anything and just
watches, and waits for a command
– When you tell her that you’re seeing many women and never want to get married, she smiles
and says “you’re so smart” like she says to everything that comes out of your mouth
– When you make a casual remark about her junk in the trunk, she becomes anorexic until you
actually have to tell her to eat. And then she eats a lot and then you have to tell her to control.
– When she gets pregnant accidentally, you tell her to abort the child and she says “OK!” with a
chipper smile as usual
– You tell her you’re going to visit some prostitutes in Amsterdam, that you are cheating with
your best friend’s wife, and that you are addicted to cocaine. She just smiles and listens politely
and never ever questions you about those things
– It’s 5 years later, somehow you still have her around. She’s never, ever brought up anything
about where you guys stand in terms of your relationship, or about having kids, or anything. All
of her friends are married, and have kids, but she’s stuck by you and doesn’t question what you
guys have at all
Is this the woman you want to spend your whole life with? Or even more than a few months
with? In theory it seems good but in reality wouldn’t it be boring and just too easy to be with a
yes-woman all the time?
OK, I was looking at Hope’s post and didn’t see you had wrote already.
Yes, I understand your point about courting, that’s true. I think things that come too easily for us
are not valued.
I mean, don’t we all get free t-shirt souvenirs and stuff like that sometimes? Even if it’s a free
Mont Blanc pen, do we value it as much as something that we worked for and spent our own
money to buy?
It’s all good though, I’m not sure how to convey the point I’m trying to make to Boy-ese (male sort
of viewpoint).
But paranoid delusionals like O and Mandy! XD would think its because I can’t stand to
see a black man in charge.
If the society was even less evolved than Islam and Islam came in to take it to the next level, then
yeah, possible.
Even in the cases where some improvement came, it was not due to the masses of illiterate
muslims, but due to some shining stars amongst Islam’s rank, as is the case in most “movements”.
If the masses of muslims were all that, we’d see much better societies today throughout the
“muslim world” – countries which are majority muslim, and we don’t.
Is this the woman you want to spend your whole life with? Or even more than a few months with?
In theory it seems good but in reality wouldn’t it be boring and just too easy to be with a yes-
woman all the time?
Key gender difference, LSB: men do not “seek excitement” in relationships. Men get bored, yes,
but not because a woman is too compliant, but because of the normal boredom that sets in due to
complacency, and the desire for other women.
“The Rules” approach gets some men to pursue women for longer, that’s true — it’s called
stringing along men, and some men are happy to be strung along for a while if the woman doing
the stringing is someone they desire. If she doesn’t string along, things may progress faster, and he
may leave quickly — not because he is “bored without a challenge”, but because he hasn’t been
strung along. Stringing along is a way to keep a man’s focus on you, and away from other women,
and only really works if he already wants you a lot.
The boredom thing for men is not based on an overly-compliant woman, but rather on the typical
development of sexual boredom for one woman and the desire for sex with another. Men aren’t
looking for excitement and pushback in relationships, that is what women are looking for. Women
shit test, however, and it’s something men need to learn to deal with, because it’s a part of how
women are.

Maurice is likely to show up if he is in town that week. He’ll check out the monkey statues for any
tall, thin women who look like they know their way around a statistics software package. (heh-
package.)
That was intended. Feminists do not want women limited to marriage and motherhood in
the home, and they do not want men limited to being the sole providers for totally dependent
wives and children… of course, most are still turning a blind eye to unfair (to men) divorce
practices…
@Hope: I can’t believe anyone could claim men only want looks and sex (not to say both aren’t
very important to most men). Very few are like this. It’s mostly about love.
Plenty of such societies exist, and they are all marked by their brutishness and ugliness.
Do thinking-woman’s feminists such as yourself (1) accept such an outcome as desired, (2) have a
contingency in mind against such a social devolution, or (3) don’t care so long as half of all
welders, quarterbacks, and astrophysicists today are female?
However in one of those “one night stands” there would NEVER be kissing, hugging,
cuddling, BJs, or Anal Sex. That all has to be earned.
Ok, I’m generally not judgy on the different ways girls go about engaging in sexytime (quickly,
slowly, swallowing within 5 minutes, remaining a “virgin” via anal only, etc.) but …
is it me, or is it weird to be having sex without any kissing? Like, come over, touch anything you
want as long as there are no lips to my lips!
“(4) I do expect society to degenerate along the lined that PA describes, but having secured my
membership in the criminal elite, I will be insulated from all the destruction that my fellow leftists
had caused, and will be living it up as a member of the neoaristocracy.”
hope, no one here except a few aspergery outliers is making the premise that men only want looks
and sex for LTRs. stop erecting strawcunts.
ps what was it like falling so deeply DEEPLY in love with a man who lied to you? juuuuuust
wondering.
“of many?”
All societies rise and fall; there hasn’t been a single nation/culture that has existed independently
forever. Christian Rome fell, Christian empires rose and fell, but it doesn’t mean Christianity is
incabable of producing successful nations, only that nations ultimately decay and fall (one
harbringer of the downfall of any society is feminism, as we have talked about here).
As the western christian nations now decline, some future muslim-based society citizens may say
the same thing. Great nations rise and fall, and Islam has had great nations, nations that, given the
choice, I would rather have lived in in 1300 AD than European ones, despite being of European
and Christian descent.
Wouldn’t you know, the bottle spin twice landed on Ace, wherein he was to kiss two different
girls. Each girl tried to break her end of the deal and weasle out of her responsibility to get some
of that Ace-toungue… but we the dudes would have none of it.
“You’re kissin’ him, princess,” said one alpha guy to the first unhappy girl. In the end, fithout
undue fuss, both girls did the right thing and kissed the dude.
As I found out later from each girl on a separate occasion, both girls were surprised with what a
good kisser Ace is.
These are just a quick glance of the true losers of Feminism, PA. And any Woman who by now
doesn’t see that only lends more creedance to the view, that they aren’t very good at making
longterm projections.
By the way, PA, given your ethnic and cultural heritage, I’m very curious-have you ever seen The
Wire? As you may know I’ve mentioned it several times here in the forum. But my reason for
asking you is because its second season focuses on the Polish part of Baltimore, who makeup the
organized labor class on the docks. Of all the five seasons The Wire aired, the second season,
which focused almost entirely on White ethnics, was my hands down fave. It was poignant in the
same way On The Waterfront was poignant, with acting of the caliber that Marlon Brando himself
would have enjoyed.
The Obsidian
You do make The Wire sound like a solid show and I might eventually check it out.
By the way, in case either Doug or Nova is listening: one of the characters, McNulty, is going
through a divorce from his wife. They have two sons, and the reasons for thebreakup was due in
large part to McNulty’s tomcatting and drinking.
Anyway, get this, he’s already paying TWENTYFOUR GRAND a year in child support, and the
soon to be ex has a freaking nerve to hit him up for an additional 12K in alimony-so, let’s add it all
up, the Man would have to cough up THIRTYSIX GRAND(!!!) a year, at least till the kids turned
18. And they were just going into their teenaged years at that point, meaning, by my guess, he had
at least what, five, six years of that kind of payout-on a cop’s salary?!?

The easiest way to do the google site search that Bhetti showed you is to download the
google toolbar for firefox if you’re using firefox, and then install. Probably the same with MS
internet explorer. Then so long as you’re anywhere at CH, doesn’t matter where, if you chose site
search from the drop down it will search the site you’re at only, from it’s root blog directory,
through the whole thing. Google’s crawlers may not have archived stuff that day yet, or maybe it
takes two days but it doesn’t take long.
Note on some blogs comments won’t be searched. They’re closed off to google. Not this one’s
though. E.g. you can’t search comments at GNXP. Well they use a different site for their
comments.
Google’s other specific searches such as image search and blog search or book search are also
readily available from the drop down other otherise from the toolbar, as is current news search.
You can also hide/collapse the toolbar when not using it if you want more screen real estate. Sorry
if this is too elementary.
Pupu will not be there. It is easier to keep her waves and particles playing on different
fields:) The peacock room is so very dark and small in life.
It is possible that the locals here could bump into each other sometime somewhere. As far as
Pupu’s package goes: she is relatively tall (5’8.5″) and slender (122 lbs). The rest of her package
would not stand out much at all.
Yep, Obsidian.
I have a colleague who pays ~2600 per month, which is ~31k per year, for 2 kids — no alimony
though, other than that child alimony.
You do make The Wire sound like a solid show and I might eventually check it out.
It’s free of a lot of bullshiite white washing, but has it’s own kinds of unrealism.
Steve Sailer has an interesting though pretty hard review of the whole series, as an overview of it’s
weltanschang up at Taki’s Place, linked from his site. It’s only a few weeks old. I’d say he’s a bit
too dismissive. That is I think he’s critique is broadly right but that the show lets a whole lot more
truth come through than you might get the feeling it did from reading the review.
For instance, recalling an episode from the schools season, you could approach it with a view that
it’s all the social/cultural environment these kids were raised in or not much raised, or that it was
heavily their heredity but the environment was making it worse and little to make it better. Either
would work, though naturally I think the later works better. In either case the show’s greatest
strength is to show how pervasively the motivations get all messed up by real world forces, even
when say a hardened but reasonably idealistic would be teacher joins the battle to raise these kids
up through education.
I kept thinking. Yeah, well why is it that dirt poor illiterate chinese kids don’t remotely have these
problems even when in NY they sometimes start out in the same, or quickly their parents see to it,
neighboring but equally poor schools?
They actively oppose reforms, and in fact want the skew the law even MORE heavily in favor of
women. The agenda is clear, despite the bullshit of their rhetoric: women will fucking well have
total and absolute dominion over all matters relating to children and reproduction, and fuck you
men if you think you’re g0ing to change that, you misogynist pigs.
No man who has been through a divorce in the United States and who is not a complete moron
(or who is not completely unreflective) can feel anything but a deep and abiding revulsion for
feminism and what its lobbying groups are doing to generations of American fathers.
For starters, both Sailer and JGR complain that Simon is basically serving up warmed over Liberal
boilerplate, suggesting that every cornerboy has a chess grandmaster lurking inside, etc.
First off, that’s bullshit-just about EVERY major Black character from the streets ends up DEAD:
Omar, Wallace, D’Angelo, Stringer Bell, Prop Joe and his sellout traitor of a nephew Cheese,
Snoop, Fruit and his killer Lex, and untold numbers of other characters-and ALL of them at the
hands of other Blacks.
The Wire clearly showed how dumb many Blacks were, and how even the putatively smart ones,
like Stringer Bell or even Bubbles, were often in over their heads and led astray by their emotions.
Heck, that’s how Omar met his end, a usually highly intelligent, patient and diligent theif and
stickup Man. He let his personal shit get in the way, and that led to his untimely and undiginified
demise, at the hands of a kid, Little Kenard.
Trust me, The Wire does NOT make Black folk on the whole look good, in fact I would say that
Simon has got some serious balls for showing innercity Baltimore for the Fallujah/Mogadishu-in-
America that it really is.
And, unlike critics like Sailer, who complain that Blacks ain’t shown to be dumb enough, etc, I
have yet to run accross a Black person who’s watched The Wire complain about its portrayal of
Black folk. In fact, I know quite a few Black people from B-More, and they LOVED IT, because
they said what The Wire showed was real, even while it as a fictional series.
Funny, that.
Second, The Wire dealt w/a host of themes, like I said, Season Two took up the death of B-More’s
organized labor unions, mostly ethnic White, in this case Polish. As I said to PA earlier, it is my
fave all-around season of The Wire, precisely because it shows how good people got really
screwed every way, coming and going. Frank Sobotka was a good Man who did everything he
could to save his union, to no avail. In the end, he joined the Black dead of B-More, the only
difference was he was White and so was his killers.
The Wire is, as you rightly point out Doug, a depressing show. There are few if any brightspots.
And would it surprise you to learn that I actually agreed w/Bunny Colvin’s idea, both of erecting
Hamsterdam, and of tracking the Corner Kids? Don’t look now, but quite a few Black folk agree
with me on both counts.
At any rate, The Wire does something that tv, cable or network, heck even the big screen, can’t and
won’t do, and that’s be brutally honest about the state of our times. The Game, is still the Game, as
Slim Charles says; it’s just got more fierce.

@al, obs – kissing is much more intimate in some sense than the sex act itself. i’ve heard it said
that prostitutes refuse to kiss their johns as a matter of principle, because there can be more
emotion in a kiss than in sex, which can be made very impersonal when done in that manner. also,
@al- you are not “judgy” on anyone else’s sexual perversions? how very progressive. just steer
clear of that feminist canard that all sex is rape.
@obs – season two was also my favorite, and not because the protagonists were all white. frank
sobotka is a truly tragic and sympathetic figure – he got mixed up with the Greek and criminality
(drugs, girls) not to enrich himself or his family – but to save his community of longshoremen,
safeguard their families and way of life with little thought of himself. i thought the ziggy character
was annoying but he did play an important role in the season’s arc. my favorite line from that
season, from bunk, as mcnulty is coming out of a threesome in the whorehouse: “he’ll live.” yes
indeed.
@doug- i think that’s “Weltanschauung” – capitalized with two “u”s. worldview in German.
unrelated, from yesterday, @welmer- very interesting Jung article, from 19-friggin’-12. thanks for
posting it.
David Alexander’s George Sodini’s problems are not a lack of chicks. Their misery stems not from
lack of game but from been a beta male. After all beta means second rate, second-class, or mediocre. Success
is grand, failure has a glory all of its own, but mediocrity is just a soul-sucking existence.
Much of game seems geared towards teaching beta males to act alpha. The problem is that acting alpha does
not make a man alpha, anymore than starring in Air Force One made Harrison Ford president of the United
States. Alpha males are successful because actually having alpha attributes leads to success.
Beta males are beta males because they lack many or all of the attributes of an alpha males, namely:
dominance, extraversion, aggression, competitiveness, and drive (sexual and/or achievement). A beta male
that scores a hot chick is still a beta male in the same way that, despite his star turn in Air Force One,
Harrison Ford is still a 60-something actor.
I dropped out of posting here because I realized that lack of game was not my problem (all things considered
I have done OK with women). My problem was that I was a beta male. I did not lack “game”, I lacked
extraversion, dominance, aggression, etc. My immediate mission is not to score hot chicks but to fix myself.
For many miss-trained alphas “game” can be a great tool, for beta males it is nothing more than a thin coat
of paint on a rotting fence. Alpha males can slap on the paint, beta males need to fix the fence.
David, working on your alphaness does not have to be about scoring chicks. The alpha male is the kind of
guy that can afford to travel first class on Acela, can afford to support his family, can afford to drive a
Nissan GT-R. A more alpha you would be in a higher paying, more secure job with higher status. A more
alpha you could provide leadership and stability to your family.
Remember: the alpha male can get away with everything while the beta male gets away with nothing. This
means an alpha you can still railfan (alpha men do what they want), or jack-off to porn (alpha man does not
need a woman). An alpha you may well attract the kind of women you prefer but an alpha you can still
ignore them (if they seem like golddiggers). I find the PUA notch-count version of alphaness to be a very
limited view. Alpha males will attract more females but that should not be his only mission (indeed women
should be nothing more than a delightful distraction).
I will offer no advice on what exactly you should do. I am not even sure if a beta into alpha transition is
possible (I think there is a lot of nature, but their might be enough nurture to make it possible). In any case,
what you need is probably different from what I need, and I do not even have a clear plan for myself yet. I do
however know what I need to achieve and that is a good start.
I briefly come out of retirement and screw up my first post. Sorry for the italics.
Did they really say that? Oh my God, that is so DUMB. It’s amazing what you will see when you
want to see something badly enough. Only ONE drug dealer liked chess, the rest were pretty anti-
intellectual and either wouldn’t learn it or would diss him for playing it. Or were outright
incompetent dopes. Pretty obvious they wanted to hate the show as pro-black lib propaganda
before they even watched it. It’s really sad when you immerse yourself in an ideology so deeply
you can’t even think straight and start seeing bogeymen everywhere.

Anyway, get this, he’s already paying TWENTYFOUR GRAND a year in child support, and
the soon to be ex has a freaking nerve to hit him up for an additional 12K in alimony-so,
let’s add it all up, the Man would have to cough up THIRTYSIX GRAND(!!!) a year, at least
till the kids turned 18. And they were just going into their teenaged years at that point,
meaning, by my guess, he had at least what, five, six years of that kind of payout-on a cop’s
salary?!?
The things I’ve been saying about this Obsidian have not been exaggerated. Without alimony
two kids of child support=alimony take 40-52% of a wife’s
That’s EXACTLY how my disillusionment came about. That’s what motivated to start to become
not just irritated by overbroad sexual harassment law without taking it too seriously, and thinking
female affirmative action was also wrong but maybe not so horrible, to starting to take a thorough
alarmed look. Note I came off comparatively easily in my no kids divorce. However I learned as
much as I could about how bad it could have been.
I won’t say the reason I’ve never had kids since is because of what I’ve learned. There’ve been
other larger factors. I’ve never had a burning desire to. Essentially the right woman would always
have had to seduce me into it against great reluctance on my part especially to do it YET, with that
ever receding. However, it’s been a huge factor.
We hunt for threesome girls together. I’ll be leaving for a few week at the end of this
month to visit my other house and girlfriend. She is about to get an abortion. And on and on. We
have a very fun and stress free relationship. Never argue. She’s my little bitch.
She’s compliant as hell. But there is a reason for all of that. I tell her it’s my huge white cock, but
perhaps that’s only the (major) part of it.
(I guess I wrote the stuff to Nova in the box below a start to a comment to Obsidian, and forgot to
cut out the Obsidian comment to elsewhere for possible completion later. I’m doing this stuff
amidst work taking up most of my brain cycles.)
Welcome back.
Suggest you cut and paste and do over. Screen real estate when it has no video imbeds is cheap.
Figuring out where quotes should be is expensive.
Do over.
Welcome bro.
I also liked Frank because of the love he had for his wayward son, even while he failed him. The
scene in which we see Frank’s final conversation w/his son Ziggy, in the lockup for gunning
down “Double G”, is in my view on a par w/Brando’s “I coulda been a contender” scene from On
The Waterfront.
The White Slavery angle, which you speak to briefly above, was also very poignant and painful
for me to watch, for obvious reasons, being a descendant of slaves myself.
I just want to reiterate the basic point that in my view, The Wire doesn’t glorify, in any way, the
players from B-More’s streets; if anything, it shows the viewer, simply and w/o much fanfare,
what the highly likely and predictable outcome of the lives of so many of these players, ultimately
turns out.
If The Wire is depressing, it’s because it has the balls to hold up a mirror to ourselves as
Americans. At least that’s how I see it.

DEFAULT USER! welcome back, my man! where have you been all these weeks…??!?
jpegs.
(you can send your portfolio to my private email address. strictly confidential. tasteful b&w
nudies welcome.)
Pretty obvious they wanted to hate the show as pro-black lib propaganda before they
even watched it. It’s really sad when you immerse yourself in an ideology so deeply you can’t
even think straight and start seeing bogeymen everywhere.
Hey Joe. Suck my big fat white cock and then stick finger up you ass and twist it around for me
would you? There’s a good ladd. With your gay “It’s really said” and “It’s pretty obvious”
Everybody on god’s green earth looks at things through their own preexisting lens buddy. It
would probably be impossible to process information without sensory meltdown or complete
chaos if we didn’t. No one does this more than the left, who are generally utterly immersed in
their ideology and actually incapable of thinking outside it.
By and large the intellectual right, as opposed to large parts of the religious right, but certainly if
you will the more or less libertarian and realist right, certainly including Steve Sailer and H and
the lead writers at GNXP and so on think outside of any single blinkering ideology vastly more
readily that the overwhelming majority of the left does, regardless of IQ.
I will conceive that Sailer’s review of the Wire wasn’t one of his better products, but it wasn’t an
entirely simplistic hatchet job either. Further taking what you say as fact that the majority of the
drug dealers portrayed are anti intelletual and would have no aspirations to Ivy league education
if things were but a little different does not negate Sailer’s point about the drive of Simon the
show’s creator to find nice Jewish boy analogues who would rise up just like Jewish boys would,
or a few of them like Simon, if they but could.
Yup Joe, I BS you not-head over to Sailer’s blog and see for yourself what he says. If I’ve
misquoted him, I’ll have no problem saying my bad right here and now. And I agree w/you, it is
sad when Ideology takes preceedance over basic facts.
I can’t tell you how deeply indebted to you I feel maurice, particularly for schooling me on the
definition of the word I used precisely. For the correct spelling as well, since i feel deeply ashamed
for not taking the time to correct it, all but sure as I was that I’d gotten it at least somewhat wrong,
but not giving the fuck to take the 5 secs to look it up and take the time to correct it.
I wrote a long rambling reply, but decided it was long and rambling. Basically I
encouraged you to play to your strengths in the moment, and not wait to be self improved.
“gf experience prostitutes”? do you mean that recent movie with sasha gray? never
saw it.
M.Blowhard links to a fab review of it. Now who would be best to give a knowledgeable review?
After all why do we go to see a movie like that? Well for the anthropology of course, unless it’s
actually going to give us great sex or acting, which it does not, though it’s apparently not terrible
in the later, depending upon what one thinks she should have been conveying.
But you see that gets us right back to the anthropology. What is that girl friend experience high
end call girl world like, from both sides of the divide? the guy’s side. But also what we REALLY
want to know, right, is what’s it like from her’s, assuming her clients or some of them aren’t so
bad as men. Just the nature of the interaction is what it is — or is it, or what is it, or does it have to
be?
So who then to review? Well of course. An elite college educated, highly intelligent, into her work,
being doing it for awhile but not burned out and still rather enjoying it overall, high end call girl
who actually DOES PROVIDE the girl friend experience services.
That’s who’s blog Michael links to. He’s linked to her before. It’s one of his two or three most
recent “sex linkages” posts in your feed reader.
Granted, I don’t totally agree with Sailers entire review, but you definitely were reading
something into it.
David Alexander’s George Sodini’s problems are not a lack of chicks. Their misery stems not from
lack of game but from been a beta male. After all beta means second rate, second-class, or
mediocre. Success is grand, failure has a glory all of its own, but mediocrity is just a soul-sucking

Hopefully, if all goes well, I’m aiming to get things up and running this Fall, can’t specify it more
than that. Somewhere between Labor Day and the end of the year, again, hopefully.
It all depends how things shake themselves out between now and say, end of next month. So we’ll
see.
Anyway, in case Doug’s reading along, the problem I have w/Sailer and JGR isn’t that they have
their own biases, but that they, one, don’t sound too terribly familiar w/The Wire, meaning, that
they didn’t sound like they watched much of the series, and two, yea, they did come off like they
allowed their own preconceived notions of SWPL folk to get in the way of basic facts. The point
was and is, that Simon portrayed B-More in a very realistic light, and he was an equal opportunity
offender, if anything. The one major Jewish character, criminal lawyer Maury Levy, was hardly an
angelic figure, and neither were the vast majority of B-More’s Black political class, notably Clay
Davis.
My problem w/Sailer and JGR, is that they can’t get past their ideological blinders to simply
watch the show and take it from there, on its face. And much of what they say about the show is
utterly false.
For example, the idea of The Wire portraying its Black criminals as some kind of Noble Negroes?
In I think, Season Three, Bunk gives Omar an earful about just how disgusted he is with his ilk.
Another? This idea that inside err corner boy, is a Bobby Fischer, yearning to get out? LOL! Like
Joe said, the only such character we hear speaking of chess at all was D’Angelo Barksdale, and he
hardly a chess champion, he just talking about the rules of the game, and Simon uses that scene to
illustrate a larger commentary on the nature of unbounded capitalism, and how it can and will eat
you alive. After nearly a decade of Wall St hijinx, does anyone honestly disagree w/that basic
premise? And don’t get it twisted, I’m as “free market” as they come, and even I see that the
system is broken.
Third, The Wire makes a powerful argument, both for the legalization of drugs, and for the
tracking of wayward, difficult and potentially violent students. Last time I heard, hardcore
Liberals DO NOT advocate for such things.
Again, I have no problem w/being a passionate partisan. What I do have a problem with is folk
who won’t get out of the way of their own ideological freight trains, and let the basic facts speak
for themselves.
Trust me, The Wire does NOT make Black folk on the whole look good, in fact I would
say that Simon has got some serious balls for showing innercity Baltimore for the
Fallujah/Mogadishu-in-America that it really is.
In the 5-7 episodes that I saw that came through to me, yes. I tried somewhat to convey that.
Unlike you who I gather has seen the whole massive thing in it’s entirety I haven’t seen enough to
feel comfortable being that definitive or bold, but yes, that’s what I meant when I said the series
doesn’t whitewash things, as most even “gritty” portrayals of the inner city do.
(btw One complaint I have though is that the series seemed almost devoid of sex. There were
references but precious little was shown in the five or seven I say. One episode showed some. If
it’s supposed to be so gritty and R rated why so little orgiastic wild stuff protrayed? I’m not trying
to impose my imagination nor what I’ve read elsewhere about how it sometimes goes down but
come on even the movie American Gangster, is that what it was called, about the black driver for a
black minor Harlem crime boss who took over his minii empire against mob efforts to move in
instead, make it vastly bigger on the strength of US military shipments of Junk from Vietnam or
really then Burma (Myanmar – Maurice, check that too K?) Anyway that even had more,
realistically it seemed. Maybe I just saw the wrong episodes.
@al, obs – kissing is much more intimate in some sense than the sex act itself.
I’ll disagree with that, Maurice. Which intimate act would you prefer your girlfriend do, with
another guy?
1) kissing
2) blowjob
3) sex doggie style
4) sex with her legs over the guys shoulders?
See my point?
If The Wire is depressing, it’s because it has the balls to hold up a mirror to ourselves as
Americans.
I feel very little kinship when I watch it Obsidian. Those are not my people nor my culture. Sure
they’re Americans but we are not brothers. It’s an alien culture.
At any rate, you said you didn’t quite agree w/Sailer’s review yourself. If you don’t mind, what
do you take issue w/him on The Wire?
Of course.
When feminists come onto these boards and tell us that “oh, dear, there may be some … issues
with family law for men”, they should fucking well realize that their leading lobbying groups
vociferously oppose ANY reform of the system to make it more just for men, and in fact are
supporting making it even WORSE for men.
Feminists are the enemies of *all* men. The only men who do not realize this are the brainwashed
fools who refuse to see reality for what it truly is.
kissing is much more intimate in some sense than the sex act itself.
There’s the “intimate kiss”, and the “casual kiss”. The difference is tremendous.
The latter is just basic comfort, like the first makeout you get with a girl at a club or bar. It’s
nothing more than a green light to continue the seduction.
The former is something she can only do if she’s smitten with you, and, yes, is probably more
intimate than just about any other sex act.
xsplat, you’re shifting the goalposts and you know it. Don’t conflate “emotionally intimate” with
“primal control”.
Plenty of such societies exist, and they are all marked by their brutishness and ugliness.
Do thinking-woman’s feminists such as yourself (1) accept such an outcome as desired, (2) have a
contingency in mind against such a social devolution, or (3) don’t care so long as half of all
welders, quarterbacks, and astrophysicists today are female?”
I disagree with your conclusions about the endgame of feminism. You sound very sure of
yourself, but I don’t find your arguments logical. You have no obligation to provide me with
convincing statistics, but until I see the trends for myself I’m going to take your proclamations
with many grains of salt..
Personally, since I believe men and women in general want different things have have different
interests (such has it ever been, and ever will be) I have no investment in 50% percentages in
careers or stay-at-home parenting.
As long as a woman can be a welder, or whatever else (with the exceptions of jobs that rely on
size, strength, or physical performance, where women cannot compete with men), if she wants to,
I am happy with the situation. We can right now, so it’s not really an issue for me. Most of us
would hate being welders.
I would like to see more female politicians, but it’s probably not going to happen. Politics is all
about being an alpha.
I care very much about the plight of all human beings. And I think as much as well all like to
complain here in America, things in general are pretty good, for men and women.
More matrifocal areas of society do exist – usually in places where lack of resources/jobs means
young men have no incentive to try to ‘settle down’ and provide for wife/kids. Rarely as the
norm in any larger society. Beyond the ‘ghetto’ you are so fond of linking to this argument (BTW, I
live right outside Philadelphia, used to make my living waitressing, and have known a lot of
single moms with multiple kids – sometimes from all different dads, many of whom are in prison
or deadbeat – and they are doing okay as a whole, because they tend to have much more close-
knit families and groups of friends than the nuclear families who are the majority out here in the
burbs. It’s not easy to do it without a husband figure, but they manage and the ‘ghetto’ kids I
know are nice well-adjusted kids – of course I am not friendly with any crack addicts moms), the
Mosuo of China are one of the few societies I can think of with most of the attributes you describe
above. Female ownership of family names, house and most property, the concept of ‘walking
husbands’ (men stay the night and they usually have a regular partner, but not traditional
marriage), and not knowing who is the biological father in some cases. However, men are still
very much invested in their communities and there are low rates of crime. Men control politics
and trade. Uncles live within the family home and are father figures to their sister’s kids.
As I was trying to explain to LilGrl the other day, please don’t think that you too can do
what he’s talking about, trust me, most guys will NOT find that cute. In fact it will turn most
of em off.
Being accessible w/a minimum of snark, etc et al, is the best way to go.
I see what you’re saying — sure, girls cannot emulate all the techniques of boyGame and expect
SRS results, as, after all, boyGame is tailored to the needs/wants of women. However, that doesn’t
mean that there aren’t some aspects of boyGame (in fact, there are quite a few), that are just basic
flirtation techniques, labeled.
To say that there is no such thing as girlGame is, well, not exactly correct. True, there isn’t a
comprehensive system that will vastly improve a girl’s chances of obtaining a quality partner. As
we know, people cannot drastically improve their looks, for the most part, short of plastic surgery.
And, since guys are mostly visual creatures, this limits a girl’s options (but not by as much as it
would limit, say, a guy’s). BUT…as LSB pointed out above…there is a certain amount of “game”
that a woman must know in order to be viewed as a long-term partner.
Like, the ability to flirt. Sure, it may seem like you never encounter women who can’t flirt (or
maybe you do, who knows, but unless you’re gaming silicon valley engineers, it’s doubtful), so it
may seem like flirting skills are not really a big deal. But…yeah. Wrong.
Heh.
!!!
But if you think so, which would you prefer your girlfriend do? Have the most intimate of
kisses with another guy, or put her naked legs over his shoulder?
I get your point that sex is not always romantic. But I can’t agree that it is not usually more
intimate than the most intimate of kisses.
For someone who always goes on and on about “shaming language” this and “shaming
language” that, you sure do seem to use shaming language a lot yourself, don’t you? Your
mancrush on the guy really is disturbing, it seems you can’t hear anything about him without
going ballistic and taking it personal. Take it easy, dude. It’s funny how you get all sensitive and
emotional in defense of another guy but you call me gay.
Marrying an ageing vagina that you can’t divorce, but soaks up 90% of your income is
brainwashing. Having her leave with the kids with only 50% to 60% of your income is a fucking
improvement.
Believe me, I would disown a daughter who divorced her husband for something dumb and took
him to the cleaners. Hell, I would testify on his behalf. There’s no excuse for it being allowed.
Yes I did read your long retort to my comment to Joe and you did quite a good job of it.
I suspect from as much of the show as I’ve seen that what you say in that long comment is quite
accurate. I saw enough to see the back political class and the Jewish defense lawyer portrayed as
you describe. Maybe I’ve seen ten episodes in all, I don’t know. Probably more like.
I’m suspect you’re right that Sailer hasn’t seen much more than I have. As I say it’s not one of his
better efforts. His movie reviews in general are not, although most are more interesting than this
one was. Most don’t really endeavor to review the film as a work of art or not or don’t much, but
take on it’s messages and anthropology. Which I consider valid for some types of films as one kind
of input on them. But I’m prepared to agree that he failed in that effort on the Wire Obsidian.
However he’s the thing. You keep evangelizing people to watch it. That’s fine, but what you really
want is for them to wathch the whole damn thing or anyway huge parts of it. That’s a lot to ask
given how depressing it is and how really so far as I’ve seen or heard anyone say including you,
the show offers no solutions whatsoever. Not even really a glimmer. It’s valuable to show failed
ones as failed and unworkable. but if nothing works, why care. Why not just seal the place off as
much as possible? Encourage the better to get physically out and away as the only solution and
don’t divert too many resources to a hopeless cause.
Because mine is to keep them away and let them do their thing. Without too many of my
resources for the hopeless losers. Isn’t evolutions supposed to prune these sorts of people anyway,
or the most useless of them?

I guess O is some sort of Bodhisatva. On a mission from god. He’s the only one on the blog who
engages with DA anymore, and he does so for pages and pages.
I agree with you. Let people find their own level, and step out of the way of poison.

Most divorcing women become expert at lying about the reasons for their divorce, or anyway
slanting the facts to an extreme degree in my experience. I’m thinking about friends and
acquitances but even my own case. Abuse is popular these days. Previously “inability to really
listen to me to take my feeling seriously” was a biggie but now abuse is favored. I’m saying lots of
stuff is made up. I’m saying other things are vastly exaggerated. Men are accused of emotional
abuse in relationships in which the woman is constantly emotionally abusing her husband, and he
just calls it incessant nagging. But out society is primed to hear the woman and put the man’s
complaints down to “not being secure enough to handle a strong, independent woman”. “Well
grow up buddy, it’s an new world.” As well no matter how many times she may have yelled on
tiptoes red faced in his face, and slapped him as hard as she could, for many divorcing women
(all?) if he ever even once mildly front handed slapped her at all without any bruising whatsoever
that will be ascribed to “he…..EVEN………..PHYSICALLY!!!! ………..A…..A……ABUSED
……….me!!!!!! To gasps of horror and utter condemnation, without any questioning of her
whatsoever it’s so unthinkable.
All this is so utterly unbalanced and one sided that it’s thoroughly disgusting.
Bonnie I’m by H’s defnitions an alpha. I’ve been with girls in the tripple digits. I’m older than
your bf. In fact I’m at the tail end of the boomer generation. I make a LOT of money. I’m living
very happily with a much younger woman. I’m not personally bitter, though a long ago divorce
without children is what woke me up to how much worse it could have been for me if I’d had
them and what it’s like for many, many divorced men, or men facing the fear of what their wives
can do. Alimony incredibly is now coming back in “leading” states worse than EVER under
feminist lobbying pressure and mens it seems innate disinclination to lobby as a whole for men’s
rights against women. Though it’s hard to tell because the fact is the media simply will not cover
these issues from divorced mens’ perspectives.
Government’s have been overthrown and Constitutions rewritten for a whole lot less Bonnie.
@doug1 —
It’s the deathly combination of the hangover of mindless chivalry and ideological feminism. They
feed on each other in an endless misandrist feedback loop. And any man who sees this tilt and
comments about it is told, as you say, to stop whining, be a man, get with the program, lay off the
misogyny and so on. We are to be the facilitators of our own demise, per the feminists. Otherwise,
we’re not “real men”.
This ideology from the beginning has been nothing more than an attempt to turn reality on its
head.
Government’s have been overthrown and Constitutions rewritten for a whole lot less Bonnie.
Doug, you are well read and rounded. Which wars caused useful long lasting social changes?
Which ones were worth dying for? What % of them were worth personal sacrifice?
And then it must have at least been a 50/50 crap shoot of being on the wrong side.
Revolution? Why not just opt out. It’s less risky. It’s doable.
This MUST be pronounced like Andrew Dice Clay’s impression of a stuttering, whiny,
nagging woman.
I’ve said this before, and Doug rightly pointed out that it comes across as harsh and
unpalatable, but it helps a man to become a man by dating women he does not much care about.
Getting experience in kicking the bitch out helps him to not take shit from someone he loves.
your daughter would not divorce an alpha husband. But She would divorce a beta. You, as
a woman seeing your daughter married to a beta would ignore any moral aspect of the situation
and screw him
I thought the show was great. And, for any faults it may have had, it was willing to show
how fucked places like East and West Baltimore are.
I think that Sailer had an opinion of Simon and let it run wild when he saw a few “mistakes” on
the show. Also, he must be sick of hearing from fanboys how great the show is. Fanboys ARE
annoying, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Still, you never addressed the point I made: Sailer never implied that the show ignored black on
black violence. He simply pointed out the ridiculousness of viewing unrepentant drug dealers as
potential chess-masters and literature lovers.
interesting phenomenon in that chat room you joined me in briefly to mess with that single
mom. there are several (more than 4) women who are divorced who have IDENTICAL stories of
“secret verbal abuse” they saw NO sign was lurking in the man before they married him, that NO
ONE knew about and that was completely undeserved and unprovioked by them in any possible
way. oh, and the men were ALL “alcoholics”
I have seen men without children greet divorce with glee; I have never seen fathers look happy,
even when the divorce goes pretty well for them (ie they aren’t totally fnancially ruined and they
get good access to the kids – they almost never get primary placement, unless mom is a convicted
crack whore) – yet I have seen many women who seem pretty happy about the whole thing, even
when the toll on children is obvious. About ruining hubby’s life, they usually seem poisitively
gleeful.
Dave from Hawaii seems to have really pulled the rabbit from the hat — good on ya, mate! But I
doubt it would be so effective on most American women. And if you boast about your infidelity
to the Mrs., don’t wait ten minutes, retain the best lawyer you can get. And deny EVERYTHING.
If you are dumb enough to ever admit to infidelity in writing or even in a conversation (I
encourage my clients in hgh-conflict divorces to tape every conversation with the estranged
spouse), even a good lawyer probably can’t help you much.
Happy Friday … I’m going back to my boat now to forget about family law for a while.
And others.
First off, the writing is such that the viewer really has to be invested in the whole process, because
each season is like one long, 13 episode long movie or “novel”. So, you dropping in on a season
and seeing a few episodes, nah, that aint gonna work. You need to see the thing from the
beginning of the season to the end just in order to know what’s going on. Otherwise, you’re toast.
Second, I’ll say again-The Wire is NOT a feelgood show. It portrays, in gritty, brutally harsh detail,
the reality of American innercity life. While shot on location in Baltimore, it could have just as
easily been made in ATL, New Orleans, Philly, NYC, Motown, Chitown, Los Angeles, Newark, or
Camden, or Jersey City, Memphis, Miami…you name it. Its not for nothing that The Wire became
such a big hit w/Black folks, because Black folks either can either directly relate to it, or are only a
person or two removed from it. Remember, the Noveau Riche in Black America really ARE “new”.
Next, and Simon himself says as much, your reasoning for not wacthing much of The Wire
comports w/his remarks as to why it never gained the kind of viewership and awards as other
shows, such as The Sorpranos, garnered. Simon, never to disappoint, simply said that the show
focused on Blacks, and mostly White America didn’t want to see that, especialy “problem” Black
folk. In fact, Simon doesn’t hide his racial views wrt The Wire, and has said in an interview w/Bill
Moyers that if what was happening to Black B-More was instead happening to White folk there’d
be hell to pay. But since its Black folks, we as a society are willing to turn a blind eye to what’s
going on, so long as we can keep em contained…as you basically said above. Whether or not
that’s a good thing to do or not, what’s problematic to me personally, is that we don’t have the
balls to at least call it for what it is-we’re willing to cull the un-neccessary portion of American
society-those who were truly Left Behind-by allowong them to kill themselves, either outright via
vicious gun violence, or slowly via drug addiction and quiet desperation. In this way, The Wire is
a stinging indictment on us all, as Americans.
Oh, don’t get it twisted Doug, Simon is no doubt about it, an Angry Man, and I liken The Wire to
Mark Twain’s “Angry Letter”. And after watching all 60 episodes of The Wire over the past month
or so, all five seasons in their entirety and in sequence, if you’re NOT angry by the time you’re
finished, you’re not human.
What are the solutions, you ask? Good question, because The Wire certainly don’t offer many.
Sure, there are a few bright spots-Bubbles is on the recovery trail and gets invited upstairs for
dinner. Namond Brice, the heir-apparent to Wee Bey Brice, is adopted by Bunny Colvin and his
wife and is last seen being a Great Debater. Michael Lee-the new Omar Little-makes sure his little
brother Bug has a shot at a decent life w/their auntie out in the County. McNulty and Freamon
settle down to what promises to be relatively quiet family lives.
But the the bright spots still, are few and far between. The Greek and his right hand Man Vondas,
are still rolling. The Stevodores are dead. So too are so many Wire characters, previously
mentioned. And the Game, plays on.
But perhaps the main reason why I exhort others to actually watch The Wire was because I got
tired of the constant Saileresque harping on Black folks, both in realtime and on the big and small
screens, that goes on in Conservative/Libertarian/HBD circles. I wanted to sock it to em that
there was a major network show, that aired for some 6 years, that completely shat all over these
guys neat little assumptions. And lo and behold, because it don’t fit the script, quite a few of those
guys either refuse to watch the show outright, basically Ad Hom its creator, or do a hatchet job of
viewing, and then mail their reviews in.
In no way am I saying that Simon is perfect or that his creation, The Wire, is. But for my money, its
arguably one of if not thee best, and honest, dramas to ever feature on the Boob Tube.
The Obsidian
Dana — I am all too familiar with the “abusive husband” nonsense. Unfortunately, this
kind of silliness can work; a good lawyer for the husband can shred it nicely, however, and it has
been known to backfire on occasion.
Men usually are too honest (or they don’t think it’s necessary) to pull equivalent crap on their
soon-to-be-ex-wives. But if you can lie very convincingly, gents, world’s your oyster.
I can’t encourage lying to the po-po, but recently I had a client whose estranged wife was a
confirmed hothead with a history of physical abuse (he’d never called the cops on her sorry ass, so
he couldn’t prove any of it) and she was easily goaded into throwing a punch at him while she
was at the marital domicile.
He ran right to the cops – he had visible injury on his face – and got her arrested within literally
minutes. A no-contact order was in effect within hours, and she never set foot in the house again.
He got pretty much everything (her relatives needed police escort to get her stuff out of the house)
— to avoid a conviction for assault & battery she signed everything over to him, basically.
The guy had big balls, serious determination, and a goooood lawyer.
esquire, the thing that got me was the identical nature of these women’s stories. smelled
coached and made up to me–like any hysteria, the same way all alien abduction and
satanic ritual abuse (remember that hysteria? i guess that doesn’t happen anymore) stories
sound.
Instead enter into a domestic partnership complete with ceremony like a wedding ceremony. With
a cohabitation/domestic partnership agreement.
If you do get married the state regards it as having entered willing into a duty of financially caring
for you wife contract, these days no matter what she does (short of contracting to have you
murdered), and feels perfectly free to change the law anytime the legislature or even the family
law courts, heavily lobbied by feminist groups, feel like it. Well the courts are constrained by the
last laws the feminist lobbied legislatures have enacted, but they try hard to get creative about it,
and the least husband/father friendly decisions are taken as the “leading” and “most progressive”
ones and tend to then be followed elsewhere.
Yeah they may sweep living together up into this too, but living together under your own
domestic partership contract is the best shot you have to be able to at least partly sidestep some of
this, and still both have and live with a family in today’s feminist horror show in domestic
relations America.
Dating men have no idea. That’s where it’s good in America. Getting married is when you enter
the matriarchy. Not immediately. But after awhile. It’s always there. She has the law on her side,
and all her girlfriends know it and will be telling her, count on it.
And horrifying.
DAU: Lawyers and judges come in both genders and all the colors of the (human) rainbow. I have
seen some scary feminist judges, but I’ve seen very good (and fair) gal-judges too. And the worst
attorneys re: screwing men over that I’ve witnessed have been … men. The problem is the law, not
the officers of the court. Scummy lawyers still work with what the legislature gives them.
In what way does the show not fit the script? I think it fits the script quite well.
But since its Black folks, we as a society are willing to turn a blind eye to what’s going on, so long as we can
keep em contained…
Not true at all. When conditions in Irish ghettos, Italian ghettos, Eastern European Jewish ghettos,
etc. were bad, the WASPs didn’t help them out. They helped themselves out.
The really ugly truth that you don’t want to admit is that the conditions are the way they are
because blacks as a culture don’t help THEMSELVES.
And you see this in the show. The black cops, the black politicians, etc., by and large don’t care
about the community as a whole.
And if the blacks in power don’t care to help the blacks without power, and if the blacks without
power don’t care to help themselves (and they certainly could if they had the desire and drive),
then conditions won’t change.
PS I love The Wire too. But mostly only the drug parts. Gotta love an entrepreneur.
Oh jesus christ, enough of this victim bullshit. I would be willing to bet a billion dollars that, per
demographic, more white people watched, AND LOVED, the show relative to Asian-Americans,
Hispanic-Americans, Native-Americans and possibly even African-Americans. I would love to
know how many Black people in Mississippi or South Carolina or almost anywhere else watched
the show.
I loved the show, but it was slow. Personally, that did not bother me. But, for many, it simply did
not provide enough excitement or escapism or petty drama to get them interested.
Cut the “White Folk blah blah Black Folk blah blah” victimization bullshit. White folk don’t care…
NONSENSE! Christ, I can remember girlfriends of mine crying when they saw what had
happened to so many blacks (and whites) after Katrina.
Who the fuck do you think makes The Wire? Or the KIPP academies in Houston, DC, Baltimore,
Philly, etc.
I had a big poster of Barry Sanders when i was a kid. My friend, Bo Jackson. My other friend,
Jordan. All of them were white. How many of your friends had posters of Mike Schmidt, or John
Stockton or Wayne Gretzky?
As for quote, take it up w/Simon, he’s the one who said it. I’d love to hear what his response is
too when you step to.
As for Blacks helping Blacks and all that, I know plenty of Black folk who toil errday out there
trying to do right by their fellow Black American. So you ain’t saying nothin but a word. But the
fact remains that Black folks didn’t suddenly wakeup and see West B-More a dump-forces
OUTSIDE Black America came to bear, too. Careful now w/what I’m saying-Black folk do indeed
bear a good bit of responsibility, as Bunk points out to Omar in Season Three-but so too do those
largely White forces, that up and abandoned the cities as well.
Keep in mind here, B-More was part of the Confederate South, and Jim Crow was rampant well
into the 60s-this is on top of what I just noted above. Again, my point was that Black folk had
considerable shit to deal with that Jews, Italians, Irish or Poles, simply didn’t have to deal or put
up with. For every slight, real or imagined you can name about any of those groups, I can easily
cite twice, thrice, four times as many when it came to Blacks.
Now-does this excuse in any way, all the killing goin on today? Nope-but it does explain a lot. If
you need me to explain that to ya, you need more than The Wire-you need a good lesson or two in
American History.
In fact, Simon doesn’t hide his racial views wrt The Wire, and has said in an interview
w/Bill Moyers that if what was happening to Black B-More was instead happening to White
folk there’d be hell to pay.
It’s not “happening to them”. They’re doing it to themselves. Yeah you can take one individual
and say it’s happening to him; there’s a collectivity at work there, a culture. I say to that
individual, get out. Where you ask. Some college town for example. In NY go live among poor
white hipsters. Get a job in a pizza place or whatever. Move up from there. Lose that culture.
It doesn’t happen to whites on a permanent basis Obsidian, at least except in some corners of
white society, because they don’t let it. Though bad things do happen, just not as bad. There’s
white trailer park society. But a lot do rise out of that. The closest thing where people don’t so
much or didn’t was famously Appalachia. Hillybilly culture. There too the reasons are cultural.
But it seems to not be nearly so violent or destructive, though the inbreeding appears fairly real if
sometimes partly exaggerated. More do seem to be getting out for some long time now.
Whether or not that’s a good thing to do or not, what’s problematic to me personally, is that we
don’t have the balls to at least call it for what it is-we’re willing to cull the un-neccessary
portion of American society-those who were truly Left Behind-by allowong them to kill
themselves, either outright via vicious gun violence, or slowly via drug addiction and quiet
desperation. In this way, The Wire is a stinging indictment on us all, as Americans.
Well I’ve got the balls to say it. I did in my prior comment and I’ll say it even more explicitly. The
Wire makes me give even less of a fuck about those people than I did before. I do wish they’d just
disappear. I don’t consider it an indictment at all. In fact I think it’s utterly dysgenic for modern
welfare society to do as much as it does to help people so beyond the pale. Try to pluck out and
away the few who could not just barely make it but really make it and devote even less resources
to the remainder. Slowly reduce.
Yes. What watching the Wire as much as I did made me care far less about those people. Who as I
said I feel far less kinship to than the children of immigrant Chinese – or Vietnamese, not to
mention Arabs or Russians or South Americans.
No one imposed that culture on them Obsidian. Or I’ll say it, those IQ endowments. Those left
behind were left behind for a reason and it’s not all cultural. As the genius anonymous statistician
La Griffe Du Lion puts it:
Baltimore is typical of many Midwestern and Northern cities, whose demographics were
forever changed by the great black migration of the twentieth century. Not unexpectedly we
found a cognitive discontinuity at the city line. Surprising, however, was its magnitude.
Whereas suburban mean IQs (86 for blacks, 99 for whites) conform more or less to national
norms, city IQs are dreadfully low. With a mean IQ of 76, inner-city blacks fall about 0.6 SD
below the African American average nationally. More than a third have death-penalty
immunity on grounds of mental retardation. The inner-city white mean of 86 is nearly a full
standard deviation below the national white average. By this measure, whites fared worse
than blacks. Both groups are seriously deficient in human capital. Neither is very employable.
To compound matters, we almost certainly have overstated urban IQs.
Now get off the lecturing (and race-mongering) high horse and stop fulfilling stereotypes.
What are you talking about? Sailer and other HBD folks assume that blacks ten to form fairly
dysfunctional societies when not being shamed to act in a more law-abiding way. Looking for
evidence to support this: WATCH THE FUCKING WIRE!!!
I know all about how fucked up it is there, based on reality — not on a TV show.
Doug,
The very nature of The Wire is markedly different from what we as Americans (foreign audiences LOVE
The Wire, I should point out)
Well, if that’s true it’s because foreigners like seeing America portrayed a a pile of steaming shit
because it makes them feel better about themselves. Most foreigners are jealous of America.
Next, and Simon himself says as much, your reasoning for not wacthing much of The Wire comports w/his
remarks as to why it never gained the kind of viewership and awards as other shows, such as The Sorpranos,
garnered. Simon, never to disappoint, simply said that the show focused on Blacks, and mostly White
America didn’t want to see that, especialy “problem” Black folk.
The show is almost completely created by White men. Fuck David Simon and his liberal Jewish
boy bullshit.
And if White Americans were giving the Wire high ratings I’m sure we’d all be hearing assholes
saying – ” White folks just want to see niggah who aint shit, like we all nothing by savages from the hood.
What about all the black folks who got their shit together? Y’all don’t want to know about that.”
Niggahs behave like shit and then as usual White folks get blames for it one way or another.
Either for the actual behavior or for not wanting to watch a poorly photographed soap opera
about it.
In fact, Simon doesn’t hide his racial views wrt The Wire, and has said in an interview w/Bill Moyers that if
what was happening to Black B-More was instead happening to White folk there’d be hell to pay. But since
its Black folks, we as a society are willing to turn a blind eye to what’s going on, so long as we can keep em
contained…
Well your boy Obama is president, your boy Eric Holder is Attorney General and most of these
black shit holes have black mayors. It’s their move. I aint cleaning up after negro fuck ups.
I lived in Baltimore. I’m not going to let myself be indicted for the shit that blacks are doing. My
solution to these low IQ, live for the moment, babies out of wedlock, animalistic people is harsher
prison sentences. Lock em up and let them rot unto death.
The blacks that CHOOSE to live a more responsible life will be better off without them.
Happy Googling.
Not true at all. When conditions in Irish ghettos, Italian ghettos, Eastern European
Jewish ghettos, etc. were bad, the WASPs didn’t help them out. They helped themselves out.
The really ugly truth that you don’t want to admit is that the conditions are the way they are
because blacks as a culture don’t help THEMSELVES.
I agree. Or I agree with your basic point entirely. Although for clarity you’re being a bit extremist.
WASPs (I’m one) did help out immigrant groups to some degree especially beginning after the
civil war but mostly beginning after the start of the Progressive Era at the beginning of the 20th
century. Before that there were some religious missions and the like not all of which required
conversion to try to help with education and to feed the trying hungry and what not.
However all such efforts are utterly dwarfed by the efforts to help the poor but particularly and
with much focus the black poor since the civil rights movement got underway.
You’re absolutely right that what’s uniquely missing in the black ghetto, or unique by vastness of
degree compared to other groups, is the lack of self help.
Feminists have lobbied to change the laws to be disgustingly unfair. There is no chance to
vote on these laws, or to elect/unseat anyone who votes on these laws. They are done in secret,
and are retroactive to anyone who got married even when the laws were far better (say, 1989 or
even 1997, for that matter).
Furthermore, too many people think that just because something is the law, it is somehow morally
just. A depressing number of Beta males get duped into this, which is why it has gotten so bad.
I agree. Do not get married. Marriage is no longer what we were raised to think it is, what our
parents generation still thinks it is. The crazed misandrists are playing with fire here, and
attacking the very underpinnings of civilized society. We have to respond in kind, which is my
disengaging from their game altogether (which is Horseman #4).
I can’t believe how stupid social conservatives are. They are so occupied with issues that are done
deals (abortion) or affect a very small number of people (gay marriage) that they fail to see this
mortal threat to everything they claim to want to preserve. What idiocy.
Ferdinand Barmadu is beginning to write some good articles on this, slamming conservatives for
being so blind.
5 million men have become unemployed in the same period, while jobs that women dominate are
artificially propped up at unnaturally high wages by Obama’s stimulus.
As for your time on the streets, I doubt if its as extensive, as a law enforcement official, as Ed
Burns, co-writer of The Wire. But perhaps you can enlighten me.
In any event, the general point remains, that like just about everywhere else in America, B-More
was racially segregated, which almost always meant “less than”, de facto Jim Crow. Add this to
the abandoning of Big Cities by other White social, economic and political forces, and we can see
how the stage was set for what we see today.
Again-I am not saying that Black folks don’t have any responsibility here, or that they have no
agency in the matter either. What I’m railing against is this idea that all of a sudden, Black folk just
cropped up w/these problems. I know it feels good to think that way, but that’s just not the
reality.
And finally, my beef w/the HBD crowd on this score is that, like Whiskey, they constantly
complain that network tv doesn’t “keep it real” when it comes to Black crime and so on. Then,
when The Wire basically shows you, show after show, nothing BUT Black criminality, usually of
the most vicious sort, they suddenly change the goalposts.
Low drive.
Please explain?
As for Blacks helping Blacks and all that, I know plenty of Black folk who toil errday
out there trying to do right by their fellow Black American. So you ain’t saying nothin but a
word. But the fact remains that Black folks didn’t suddenly wakeup and see West B-More a
dump-forces OUTSIDE Black America came to bear, too. Careful now w/what I’m saying-
Black folk do indeed bear a good bit of responsibility, as Bunk points out to Omar in Season
Three-but so too do those largely White forces, that up and abandoned the cities as well.
Blacks don’t to squat to help themselves compared to every other once lagging ethnic group in
America. They’re by FAR the worst. And it shows.
But a lot of that is genetics. Blacks have low IQ’s for genetic reasons. And high aggression for
genetic reasons. And impulsivenss for the same reasons, though that’s highly correlated to the
first two.
Still they could do far more to help themselves. If anything they’ve been far too much helped and
told by the culture (the leftist Jewish lead media and academic culture I’ll add, fearless as I am at
least when anonymous) that it’s all whitie’s fault.
I’ll tell you what Obsidian. America has prejudice against lots of groups to begin with. Anyone
too different in ways that aren’t obviously admirable from whatever the more successful melange
of the country is at the time in question. But with group after group, once they started to really
make it, or maybe they had to do a lot more than just start but to be making it wholesale for large
numbers to get on board, Americans have accepted them.
They need to be told that overwhelmingly now it’s there fault. And that they’re going to get less
and less for screwing up. Well help the winners among you and the rest can go rot.
Routinely executing those sentenced to life in prision, and doing it within 3-5 years of conviction
would be good too. Cut off all the endless legal bullshite. I saw that as an elite trained lawyer. Our
system is absurd. And yeah I’m willing to see a innocent people executed as the cost. Tough.
(They won’t be innocent of everything terrible in nearly every case, and the numbers of innocent
are greatly, vastly, exaggerated for tear jerker effect. )
Sorry Lurking, you’re absolutely right. It wasn’t you I was quoting but Seeking Alpha. I
had him in mind and knew it was from him. Guess I just had a brain fart.
I think often men want to tie down women with marriage, and they end up getting tied down
themselves. It’s best not to marry if you have any doubt at all. The system works against men, and
marriage is in reality the same as cohabitation, just with terrible legal entanglements and society-
level shaming for getting out.
The reason why alimony and child support are so vehemently anti-men is because of people hate
the idea of a large welfare state and supporting out-of-work single mothers. Half of the middle
class women don’t work, and they would get government assistance if their ex-husbands didn’t
pay up.
Right now the welfare state is small and has been reducing its size. You get a bunch of stories with
white babies whose fathers didn’t pay up, and you get harsher legislation on child support. The
laws aggressively pursue ex-husbands and fathers in order to not have these women on the
government payroll. They get tough not because they hate men, but because they are the easiest
ones to squeeze money out of. That’s the economic reality of it.
1. Sailer never said, or implied that The Wire was inaccurate about who was killing who in
Baltimore. You said he did. He didn’t (regardless of how insightful his review was or wasn’t.)
2. That The Wire somehow invalidated the focus of HBD, Sailer and the like. It didn’t. The Wire
showed us that places that have a large black populations are basically lawless hellholes. That is in
LARGE agreement with Sailer and other HBDers.
3. You implied that “white folk” just don’t care, taht is why The Wire got lower ratings (than, say,
The Sopranos). It was White Folk, relative to basically everyone else, who watched the show. Did
they watch it as much as, say, American Idol? No. But that is not an indictment of White Folk, but
of Teenaged Girls of any race.
4. That I had some sort of problem with some quote that Bill Moyers got in some interview. I
couldn’t give two fucks about about that former preacher or any interview he got. I was
responding to what you were saying and implying. If you were getting all of your thoughts from
some interview, that is for you to deal with.
It’s the common stereotype. You mentioned in your own posts, many times. Black guys live off of
their women, and like fat ass.
Is it anything more than Jews tend to rise to the top of every industry (finance, law,
medicine, media, academia, etc.)?
Leading liberals were Jews, but so were leading Neo Cons. The second highest rated conservative
talk show host is Jewish.
I’m willing to be shown I’m wrong. But as far as I can tell, there’s no pattern to their ideology.
Obese-dian,
I actually went to Wal-Mart yesterday, and saw the fattest black woman I have seen in a long time.
She was enormous – precisely your type.
A few white men end up with fatties against their will. But black men exclusively seek fatties. Big
difference.
It is because black men are reminded of this, which turns them on.
They are supremely dangerous. That’s what matters. I want them terminated with extreme
prejudice. Wiped out. Killed. No I don’t want to pay for them. No I don’t want to fund endless
appeals. Cut it off and kill them.
You know what. That’s EXACTLY what I thought when first being taught/propagandized about
it in my first year at a top US law school, where I made law review.
It stems from the Mens Rea rationale. Guilty mind. The original purpose of it was to separate
terrible consequences caused by mistake from those caused by cold blooded calculation. All fine
and dandy. But what should have explicitly been introduced in there is that a large part of that
distinciton is about what the terrible results really tell you or predict about that person’s likely
future behavior and his danger to society. If someone walking along a roof top dislodges a tile
which falls to earth five stories and kills a passerby, that person was at most a tad careless, or
maybe not even, no more than most people. He (or very possibly she here) is not thereby shown
by deed to be a terrible danger to others if left free. Not so a contract mob killer.
Not so also a 65 IQ stooge dumbass who robs a liquor store and needlessly kills the clerk with his
handgun in the process.
Don’t let him off for stupidity. You’re damn right he’s dangerous. Kill him. Shoot him dead by
firing squad. toute suite.
If each black person were offered $100,000 to give up their US citizenship and leave for the
country of their choice (whether Canada, Britain, or a black-majority country), the US would see a
huge benefit. Crime would go down, taxes would go down, health-care costs would go down,
feminism would go down (since blacks vote democrat, which gives feminism strength).
This could never be done of course. But hypothetically, paying each black person $100,000 to leave
would be money well spent.
Obsidian: The very nature of The Wire is markedly different from what we as Americans (foreign
audiences LOVE The Wire, I should point out)
Willie: Well, if that’s true it’s because foreigners like seeing America portrayed a a pile of steaming
shit because it makes them feel better about themselves. Most foreigners are jealous of America.
O: Actually Willie, the UK loves The Wire. Last time I checked we have quite a close historical and
strategic relationship w/them, yes?
O: Next, and Simon himself says as much, your reasoning for not wacthing much of The Wire
comports w/his remarks as to why it never gained the kind of viewership and awards as other

folk.
W: The show is almost completely created by White men. Fuck David Simon and his liberal
Jewish boy bullshit.
O: OK, go and tell him that, because I’m only repeating what he said.
W: And if White Americans were giving the Wire high ratings I’m sure we’d all be hearing
assholes saying – ” White folks just want to see niggah who aint shit, like we all nothing by
savages from the hood. What about all the black folks who got their shit together? Y’all don’t want
to know about that.”
O: Nope. The Wire was always highly critically acclaimed but never got the kinds of ratings that
Deadwood or The Sorpranos or Six Feet Under (talk about depressing!) got. And much of said
critical acclaim indeed came from Whites. But anyway, that wasn’t Simon’s point. Google up his
interview w/Bill Moyers to hear exactly what he said, also go to Wikipedia to read exactly what
he said about why he feels The Wire never rated as high as it should have.
W: Niggahs behave like shit and then as usual White folks get blames for it one way or another.
Either for the actual behavior or for not wanting to watch a poorly photographed soap opera
about it.
O: Wrong. I have been saying from the get go that The Wire doesn’t lay blame on Whitey for the
state of present day B-More, and in fact depicts more Black violent crime, consistently, than ANY
other televised drama. In fact I defy you to come up w/a better dramatic example, Willie. I’ll wait.
O: In fact, Simon doesn’t hide his racial views wrt The Wire, and has said in an interview w/Bill
Moyers that if what was happening to Black B-More was instead happening to White folk there’d
be hell to pay. But since its Black folks, we as a society are willing to turn a blind eye to what’s
going on, so long as we can keep em contained…
W: Well your boy Obama is president, your boy Eric Holder is Attorney General and most of these
black shit holes have black mayors. It’s their move. I aint cleaning up after negro fuck ups.
O: OK, but please get the facts straight, I did not vote for Obama. I voted for McCain. And what
you say about Black Mayoralty in much of Black America is for the most part true, and is also
depicted on The Wire.
W: I lived in Baltimore. I’m not going to let myself be indicted for the shit that blacks are doing.
My solution to these low IQ, live for the moment, babies out of wedlock, animalistic people is
harsher prison sentences. Lock em up and let them rot unto death.
O: Actually Willie, if you checkout The Corner, another Dave Simon creation, and starring among
others, lifelong Baltimore native actor Charles S. Dutton. At the beginning of the show Dutton
points out that, in the 60s, I think it was, MD had like 5 prisons. By the time the 21st century rolled
around, it had TWENTYEIGHT.
So believe me, Black folk ARE being locked up, and for longer sentences. And it still aint working.
W: The blacks that CHOOSE to live a more responsible life will be better off without them.
O: Again, no argument there, since most middle class Blacks live seperate and apart from their
working and underclass brethren. Whether that’s a good thing od not is up for debate.
We’d laugh at that with Captain Save-a-Hoe, and yet we see this with Black people all the time.
NO amount of White Liberal handwringing will EVER fix Baltimore or South Central. Heck things
were BETTER under Segregation because Black society functioned better at taking responsibility.
Whites cannot help or hinder Black progress and eradication of poverty. That’s something for
Blacks themselves to decide — Booker T or WEB? I think it’s clear that the agenda of continued
White moralizing about who is good and who is bad (“abandonment” vs. “engagement”) is not
sustaining, certainly not in a recession with endless Black race-baiting ala Holder and Obama and
Wright. No amount of White concessions and funneling money to the talented Tenth (Henry Gates
having another Cambridge Mansion) will fix Baltimore and no amount of White racism could stop
Blacks from fixing Baltimore if they were determined.
Whites don’t matter to Black people either way. That’s the truth.
He has enough common sense to have voted against Obama and for McCain. Thus, he did
what 96% of blacks could not do (98% if you exclude black immigrants from the West Indies or
Africa).
So he gets called an Uncle Tom and race traitor by blacks who can’t believe he didn’t blindly vote
for Obama.
Thus, he has to go out of his way to fight for black dignity over here (usually losing, as virtually
no non-black agrees with him, and no other blacks want to high alongside him).
So his race baiting here is to prove his cred with other blacks despite having voted against Obama
(again, which I applaud).
the wire might be the greatest thing since sliced bread for all i know, i just don’t assign
much value to made up things
at this point i find almost all fiction, written or televised intolerable. i watch almost exclusively
news and documentary channels, like the military, history and science. i read only non fiction
except for neal stephenson and only see about 2-4 new movies a year if i’m lucky and that many
look passable.
Nice guys (and girls) win with me. Nothing’s a bigger turn-off than nasty behavior.
Is it anything more than Jews tend to rise to the top of every industry (finance, law, medicine,
media, academia, etc.)?
Leading liberals were Jews, but so were leading Neo Cons. The second highest rated
conservative talk show host is Jewish.
I’m willing to be shown I’m wrong. But as far as I can tell, there’s no pattern to their ideology.
1) You’re largely right. I’ve said that repeatedly. My ex wife was Jewish. Lots of my friends and
work colleagues and all that. I work in a heavily Jewish industry. I’m not remotely anti-Semitic.
2) Jews have constructed by far the greatest shield to group criticism that any group in any liberal
democracy enjoys, here in America, while themselves sharply and deeply criticizing any other
possibly challenging or in any way competive group, as a group. E.g. Jewish savaging or
ridiculing or endless “light” making fun of, wasps, Puritans, the Religious Right, Christians in
Europe persecuting the Jews (never anything about Jews preying upon gentile communities but
not themselves) and so on. That shield is called the utterly forbidden charge of “anti-Semitism”.
Should it stick you’re at least blocked from advancing, if not in a little while fired or forced to
resign, from virtually every elite job in American society today. University professors with tenure
may not lose their jobs but they can forget about advancing to a better spot in a better place. Note
I’m not talking about true Jew hating here. Just any very serious critique. Even what little
moderate stuff I’ve said might qualify for the blocking and shunning bits were I not anonymous.
It’s risky.
3) What happens when you’re free to critique any group actions of others and their culture
proclivities but enjoy near blanket immunity yourself, is that you’re uniquely free to use ethnic
networks for ethnic favoritism that e.g. WASPs or Presbyterians discriminating in favor of their
own when arguably qualifed but not more so, would get viciously attacked by, well Jews. You
yourselves are immune. Blacks have similar immunity but they’re not in elite enough positions to
use it the way Jews can. Except in city governments. But that does follow Irish and in Chicago
Easter Euro white patterns, etc.
4) Jews are overwhelmingly leftist in orientation, or as we call it in this country (as a result of
Roosevelt era leftist’s euphemism spinning), “liberal”. They used to be heavily Marxist /
communist and many in Academia still are, sort of. I’ve long though this was especially attractive
to jews both because it was the French Revolution left that gave them full civil rights throughout
Europe, but also because Marxism and Communism specifically offered a way in which Jews
could help lead an evangalistic world religion, which all people were invited to join, with those in
the vanguard including Jewish serving as the moral beacons. The religion of their fathers was by
deep aspects of it’s nature a tribal religion of a specific, chosen, people, and not an evangelizing
one. Why it couldn’t bcome evangelizing I frankly don’t personally know but it certainly nver did,
except I guess in a few not very popular offshoots.
5) So Jews have tended to seek to transform Western societies by breaking down their traditions in
ways prescribed by leftists, out of a deep sense that this will prevent future host society progroms
against Jews. You can perhaps see how this might seem a bit disproportionate to a non believer in
either judiasm or Marxism or near marxism in a host society.
6) Hence the nearly 100% Jewish desire to be extreely lax about population transforming mass
immigration of the stupid from peasant Mexico and the rest of central America. Dilute any
cohesive ethnic block in that host society. Safer for the Jews. Hey I’m not against safety for the
jews or preventing pogroms, but there are a few other considerations guys! And I like to call you
people out on it as having special group interests or at least many do even inf unconscious or not
admitted to outsiders, or half consicous but much denied and so on. Can you promise me Seeking
Alpha that I can do that without anonymity without having the Jewish networks (there isn’t just
one, it’s all informal mostly, there are many) calling me an anti-Semite and blocking my career,
maybe getting me fired, or denying me customers? Can you Seeking Alpha? I thought not.
7) So yeah it’s high time that all this started getting called out.
Right now the welfare state is small and has been reducing its size. You get a bunch of stories with white
babies whose fathers didn’t pay up, and you get harsher legislation on child support. The laws aggressively
pursue ex-husbands and fathers in order to not have these women on the government payroll. They get
tough not because they hate men, but because they are the easiest ones to squeeze money out of. That’s the
economic reality of it.
A huge welfare state just results in thugbabies, as per the black working class: it destroys
marriage, fatherhood and children.
The answer is not a liberal welfare state. The answer is cutting off that nonsense, sharply limiting
child alimony, and sharply limiting grounds for divorce, while reverting non-marital relationships
to what they were (relationships at your own risk, with no windfall ex-bf rights).
Replies as follows:
Seeking Alpha,
Replies below…
O: That’s interesting, in light of the fact that I’ve given detailed notes on how I studied and
applied Game, on a shoestring budget, w/notable results. That doesn’t sound like an ardent
apostle of victimology to me. Does it to you?
1. Sailer never said, or implied that The Wire was inaccurate about who was killing who in
Baltimore. You said he did. He didn’t (regardless of how insightful his review was or wasn’t.)
O: Ok, fair enough. Let me put it this way then: I don’t like the tone of his review. Alrite? You’re
right, it seems that his real beef w/the show was that it was too popular among SWPLers. I feel
his pain, but that doesn’t change the facts about The Wire, and you know it.
2. That The Wire somehow invalidated the focus of HBD, Sailer and the like. It didn’t. The Wire
showed us that places that have a large black populations are basically lawless hellholes. That is in
LARGE agreement with Sailer and other HBDers.
O: I never said that The Wire invalidated the basic premise of HBD-what I said was that those
types frequently complain that network tv for some reason, refuses to “keep it real” when it comes
to Black crime. In this respect then, The Wire comes shining through, and here comes Sailer,
Whiskey et al, to trash it. Hmm.
3. You implied that “white folk” just don’t care, taht is why The Wire got lower ratings (than, say,
The Sopranos). It was White Folk, relative to basically everyone else, who watched the show. Did
they watch it as much as, say, American Idol? No. But that is not an indictment of White Folk, but
of Teenaged Girls of any race.
O: Again, I only relayed what Simon himself said about why The Wire never rated high in viewers
in comparison to other popular HBO shows, not Amer Idol. His comments on the matter are
easily found on Wikipedia under The Wire.
4. That I had some sort of problem with some quote that Bill Moyers got in some interview. I
couldn’t give two fucks about about that former preacher or any interview he got. I was
responding to what you were saying and implying. If you were getting all of your thoughts from
some interview, that is for you to deal with.
O: If that is so, again it comes dangerously close to an Ad Hom, instead of actually dealing with
the issue. Several times now I have clearly stated where I got my comments you speak to above
from. Now if you don’t want to consider the actual source, and then denigrate the interviewer on
top of that, then yea, we do have a problem indeed.
Good science fiction reveals more than good science or good fantasy.
But maybe you’re right, that drama gets stale and eventually has nothing new to say.
But I still love the most complicated pictures – which is the investments of humans and their
techs.
This now makes sense. You are an outlier, and were damaged by your mother’s emotional
abuse. So you value different things than a woman who was not subject to that would value.
The reason why alimony and child support are so vehemently anti-men is because of
people hate the idea of a large welfare state and supporting out-of-work single mothers.
That’s cynically used by feminists to win wider support Hope. It’s not remotely what’s driving
them nor is it what guides policy.
Why not cap all mandatory child support at welfare levels but only give it to women who would
so qualify without that support from the bio dad? That would satisfy that issue Hope.
In fact that is what I’m in favor of in the case of slut unwed pregnancies. Guess what Hope. Most
of those are wanted by the girls in question. Their careless is sometimes deliberate and more times
semi consciously intentional.
There are also lots and lots of entrapment oops pegnancies. Where she may or may not have
wanted the guy to marry her, depends, but has targeted a good share of his paycheck.
It’s disgusting.
Why? Leftist media. And votes for women who have no military victories behind them justifying
getting them.
No men, or virtually none, had any idea that this is what would come from votes for
women.
Old Days: Woman entraps man by pregnancy. Shotgun marriage occurs, 95% of income for
life, no escape clause.
New Days: Women entraps man by pregnancy. She collects child support for 18 years at most
collecting 75% of his pay, but leaving him single to find other women.
No, you are a genetic zero who needs to be purged from the gene pool — something you
are blessedly disposed to do voluntarily.

O: Ok, so Shakespeare holds no value for you then, right? Or Mark Twain? Or Tenneesee
Williams? Or Arthur Miller? Or Tom Wolfe? None of these guys, just to name a scant few
(Hemingway, Faukner, etc et al), hold litte if any value or meaning for you because, quite simply,
they peddle in “made up stuff” right?
Like Xsplat said, fiction and drama can very much inform our understanding of ourselves and our
world. Even the Pentagon understood this, when they had top brass watch The Battle of Algiers,
which was a *dramatized* version of real life events. Same deal w/300.
Holla back
I further put it to you that Jews have a special interest in making blacks a special protected
class or group and helping them advance because of deep self interest.
Note that Jews had nothing close to so much interest in doing so before WWII, Hitler and the
Holocaust.
Yes they had some. Yes it was all part of a communist/Marxist far left agenda to rise up the least
as an active social project but that was more a class thing and it wasn’t so much focused on the
least as an ethnic group but the whole working and under class.
After the Holocaust it became essential for Jews that no group be allowed for any reason to be
generally treated with scorn or as second class. If blacks could be for one set of reasons, not
entirely accurate and anyway exaggerated, and besides we believe its all environmental and
changeable because we’re all blank slates at birth anyway, then Jews could be for another, also not
very accurate. Which could lead to an American Holocaust. Well it’s possible. Lets take no
chances. Remember those anti Semitic placards and burning crosses of the KKK esp in the march
on Washington in 1924. Let’s draw the line way before Jews, back before blacks.
I’m not saying that’s the only reason and I’m not saying that’s bad for the most part. However the
Jewish fervor on the topic is for a reason, and it’s not all altruism.
Jews voted about 79% for Obama, vs. 96% of blacks voting for Obama.
It’s been taken to ridiculous extremes in the case of the non execution of the heinous.
All DNA and other available technology and methods should be used to try to prevent executing
the innocent, but balance must be reached and we have an unbalanced and ridiculously expensive
solution. So unbalanced that California is contemplated letting mass numbers of the less offending
convicted out of prison in their budget crisis.
More executions.
Evangelist Judiaism for all intents and purposes is Islam. The dietary restrictions are
somewhat similar, the prescribed gender roles aren’t too far off, and the structure of imams and
religous courts aren’t too far off from the respective counterparts in Orthodox Judaism.
Admittedly, I’ve always wondered in the concept of tikkun olam plays a role in Jewish liberal
views.
The really ugly truth that you don’t want to admit is that the conditions are the way they are because blacks
as a culture don’t help THEMSELVES.
My mom as an nearly 40 year immigrant* to the United States has noted this from her
observations. She remembers how Haitians would pool up money to buy a van and each pay a
fare in order to get a ride to a suburban factory while the local black counterparts couldn’t be
bothered to enact a similar system. William Julius Wilson made similar observations comparing
poor blacks and Hispanics in Chicago in “When Work Disappears”.
*Within six months of my mom immigrating to the States, Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated
leading my mom to wonder who this “Dr. King” guy was and why people would be so upset over
him.
And if the blacks in power don’t care to help the blacks without power,
I’m almost tempted to say it’s the main reason for the lack of proper governance in African
countries. The government is the easiest means of becoming rich, and rent seeking attracts the best
and brightest who have no care about improving the state of their nations while they live at near
white levels of luxury.
Some stuff is not centered in the head, or much augmented by the smartest head.
The full human experience always remains body-centered. No matter how much knowledge you
include. So that was supposed to be my point. That a full bodied experience of non-fiction must
include the other socio-physical groundlings.
I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir here, but my preachering is just my riffin. I prefer non-fiction
myself, heavily. People tried to lean towards non-sciency literature. Never had a strong feeling for
it.
The theme of edge.org is that there is a new frontier of human communication that surpasses
narrative, and it is a fusion of science and narrative.
Thank you!
Executions are the reserve of uncivilized cultures and other barbaric races. White people are far
better than that.
And?
Xsplat:
Well then I’ll weigh in also, about killing dumb people. At minimum let the doctors not save brain
damaged infants. At minimum can we please allow infanticide. At minimum spew out a few and keep the
fittest. Wasn’t that our history?
Female hypergamy is evolution’s way of ensuring the best alpha genes replicate, while beta genes
go the way of the dodo.
The U.S. Census Bureau report puts the median child support payment at $280 a month, and the
average at $350 a month.
Alimony is $508 a month on average. That’s about $858 a month, which is usually higher than a
monthly welfare payment of about $600-800 depending on the state, but not by much.
This is actually why low income mothers don’t care about child support payments and alimony,
because they might get $200 max. The government assistance is actually higher.
Entrapment pregnancies are pretty ridiculous, but I thought modern feminism generally told
women to not have children until much later?
In any case, I would still argue that it’s still an economic issue with respect to the law.
One could argue that the route of the former is no real guarantee to having a desegregated
environment while the latter would have been our route to getting blacks into the elite classes
with the benefits tricking down to everybody else. It’s useless to have trade schools and
professionals when you’re still treated like a second class citizen since in the long-term, you’ll just
have frustrated tradesmen who get paid less than their white counterparts or are excluded
outright from working or professionals who are hobbled from joining the elite because they’re the
wrong skin tone.
In other words, is it important to lift the group up slightly or is it important to get somebody at
the top who can represent their interests as an “equal”. Of course, this presumes that the average
IQ was enough to supply enough of tradesmen and professionals in the first place.
What white racism remains is by and large more than justified. Not in every case certainly,
but overall.
People have to earn respect. Not have it given to them. That’s how every other group’s had to
make it.
There’s ample reason to have a jaundiced view towards the true credentials of black professionals,
considering the extent of affirmative action that was available to them if that’s what they need to
get where they are. How does one know, with that so verboten and so avidly covered up in
individual cases? If one can know, and the guy still easily makes the grade, not by minimal and
questionably low ones but by high ones, then hey, sure. No problem. Were it not for affirmative
action that later would be generally the case for those that still did make it.
A friend is a lawyer, who was helping for free a poor guy from other city in his divorce
the CS+alimony totalled BRL 500, about USD 280. The guy was paying half of that, and as my
friend told me, because he couldn´t pay anymore.
so the (female) judge asked for an audience. The hubbie lives in town A, 1000 km from São Paulo.
He confirmed he was going to the audience. The hoe lives in town B, 2000 km from here. She said
she wasn´t coming.
What happens then? The judge askes for the guy´s ARREST. Hubbie calls ex-wife and says: “you
bithc, take out the order against me or I´ll pay nothing since I´ll be in jail” . AMazingly, it worked.
Women do have some residual rationality
Remember: the alpha male can get away with everything while the beta male gets
away with nothing.
In America, young warrior alpha will often tear around town busting heads. Should a bad man
hurt one of them, they will immediately flee to a copper. The copper will then, lights flashing, go
and arrest the alpha-beater. The copper is oddly unable to arrest the alpha’s for their crimes
though. This is not the coppers fault though, because the copper is alpha to.
It’s not actually just to make the men pay at all, when they didn’t want the bastard. It’s society,
and women’s vote, that want’s welfare, not men’s vote. Further women can decide after the
perhaps impusive sex act to 1) go for plan B birth control pills; 2) abort the fetus; or 3) leave the
kid at a hospital or give it up for adoption after birth, all without bearing any parenting
responsibilites or child support costs whatsoever.
What post coital options does our unprecedentely feminist society give men Hope?
I can agree with it, but again the laws are not designed to please men, they are to
“stimulate the economy” and make people spend more. Alimony helps that.
What post coital options does our unprecedentely feminist society give men Hope?
Condoms and vasectomy, which I do agree is not enough, but if you want to push for abortion
rights for men, you’re running up against feminism on the left and a huge anti-abortion lobby on
the right, which is not feminist either. Go to most right wing forums and state what you propose,
and you’ll be flamed out because they do not want more abortions. You can’t ignore that and
blame feminism solely.
Ok, ok, I said 67 by next Monday. I was off.. maybe. I sold out everything I had left though.
So it’s academic from my point of view.
I will, however, say that this is Prediction 2, and I’ll give myself a star for 67.51… even if it is NOT
QUITE 67.
In any event, the general point remains, that like just about everywhere else in
America, B-More was racially segregated, which almost always meant “less than”, de facto Jim
Crow
Who would want to live amongst such people if they didn’t share their culture?
It’s one thing to have de jure, legally mandated and endorsed governmental segregation. It’s
another thing for different groups wanting to live amongst their own, far preferable to them
culture, or a mixture of cultures that are congenial to them.

Whiskey: Obsidian — The racial attitudes inherent in the Wire (from what I gather, I have not seen
it but saw the prequel Homicide) are destructive:
Obsidian: Stop right there. You mean to tell me Whiskey-a Man who by all accounts is well
informed-that you are going to tell me, one who has actually watched all five seasons of The Wire,
you’re gonna tell me what it is, what its about, etc et al-even though, by your own admission, you
haven’t even seen one episode, let alone one season? Is this what you’re fucking telling me,
Whiskey? Listen to yourself.
Moreover, there is very little racial tension over the course of the show. Very, very little. Which is
actually remarkable, given the state of the city.
But you would know that…if you actually took the time to watch the show, like you do…I don’t
know…Buffy The Vampire Slayer…or Mad Men…
O: That’s certainly one view being held, among both the White and Black vote if last year’s
election results are accurate.

to frown on other Blacks who attempt to do same.

Go to most right wing forums and state what you propose, and you’ll be flamed out
because they do not want more abortions. You can’t ignore that and blame feminism
solely.
Yes I can and do blame feminism and women more generally, all American women as a gender in
this case Hope.
The religious right is being consistent. They don’t want premarital sex at all by and large and they
wish to roll back the whole cultural permissiveness that allows or encourages it. They don’t want
men’s freedom from having to pay child support if they so announce to encourage more women
to abort, no, you’re right, that’s absolutely true Hope. But they don’t want women to have
abortion rights either. Further they hope that not having those rights more women will get
married earlier and wait longer to have sex. They’re consistent and far less gender biased.
Feminist care only for women and women’s freedom, and men only as ancillary to that and
helping provide that, despite lip service to the contrary. That’s been how feminists have
consistently acted and advocated, when it came to making choices.
Yes Hope. I blame feminism alone. And post feminist American women more generally, for their
incredible disinterest in fairness towards women. With rare exceptions. Who almost never care
much.
Thank you.
Yes the conservatives are moronic toads. I hate them as much as I do feminists.
But feminism created the law that says women rule reproduction. Fuck you. Two people create
babies. Why should one, only, have rights around that. Incubator privilege?
Fuck all of this. Soon enough we will have artificial wombs for men who want them, sexbots or
bodygloves for men who want them and so on. Women control children in an absolutist sense?
Fine, then men will opt out. Not the sad-sacked beta cuckolds-in-waiting, but normal men, men
who know that women need control and dominance for eithe men or women to be happy.

the Mosuo of China are one of the few societies I can think of with most of the
attributes you describe above. Female ownership of family names, house and most property,
the concept of ‘walking husbands’ (men stay the night and they usually have a regular partner,
but not traditional marriage), and not knowing who is the biological father in some cases.
However, men are still very much invested in their communities and there are low rates of
crime. Men control politics and trade. Uncles live within the family home and are father
figures to their sister’s kids.
You’re describing the feminist whitewash of that extremely rare society. How many of the men get
no sex at all? Anyone ask that question Bonnie?
Are you aware that there is evidence that they are actually the kept down serfs of a the ruling
patriarchal people above them, who imposed matrilinearity upon them to prevent strong male
leaders arising and challenging their status.
See the Wikipedia article on them. I made similar, much more extensive comments about this
feminist fantasy people at 2Blowhards a couple of months ago when they came up there.
I don’t think ‘artificial wombs’ are a viable technology. It is cheaper to get a surrogate
mother in a developing country.
I think the 3-D/VR/Hologram sex technology is a better candidate for faster invention and
diffusion than sexbots. But the former will still have the desired effect of greatly pulling the rug
out from under all women who are 8s or below.

O: Hey look, whateva floats your boat. I’m simply challenging the notion that fiction can’t be of
any value to human beings, and I argue that it can. And has. And will continue to do so. That’s it.
The way the society is set up, spending is the way to go, growth every quarter, stocks must rise or
there’s a panic, etc. True conservatism does not exist anymore. You blame feminism for the ills that
befall modern society, but frankly I see it as a symptom not a root cause.
In Japan, family courts rarely issue child support. According to various research, their system to
collect child support is extremely weak. Yes there is some feminism, but there’s still plenty of
prostitution, women do not match men in amount made, and traditional ideas of being a good
wife and mother. They also have some strange fertility rituals, but I digress. Their birth rate is
incredibly low, and marriage rates are also low.
“Enforcement of laws connected to alimony, child support, visitation rights, court orders, and
custody in Japan is very weak.
If one side refuses to agree to the divorce, you will have to negotiate until you do, which can take
many years. You can legally separate, but this is not a divorce, and you cannot remarry. Moreover,
if there is a secret relationship behind the breakup, a spouse in Japan can sue your new partner for
damages, demanding both you and your partner pay consolation for wrecking the marriage.
Weak-to-nonexistent enforcement of laws and court rulings mean that men in the Japanese system
(as compared to, for example, the American) do not stand to lose enormously financially. They
will, however, lose their children.
[The system] permits the spouse with economic assets (usually the husband) to keep most of his
assets, avoid payment of alimony and provide little or no child support.”
I’m not saying you should look to Japan as the model of what the West would be like if feminism
did not exist, or if courts stopped handing out alimony or child support. But it is an example of a
system that is not inherently feminist, but still pretty messed up. People are still having trouble
keeping families together, and neither men nor women appear to be happy in this society.

audiences, probably had three times the audience that the Wire ever got.

of The Corner, which I presume you haven’t seen either.

Mad Men, which also is on cable, but you flatout refuse to watch The Wire? Are you ideological

Jim Crow was a detente based on a peaceful separation of races. Its primary porpose was
to protect ordinary class whites from blacks’ predations. It had its obnoxious aspects, but what we
have today is far worse. Because blacks, with exceptions, have not lived up to their responsibilites
as free men.
— Executions are the reserve of uncivilized cultures and other barbaric races.
Due-process capital punishment is the cornertstone of civilized society. Civilization does not
tolerate barbarism.
In David’s mind white people are santa claus / feed for morlocks. In reality, white people are
human beings who have the right to exit, to be free, to have autonomy and separation frm others,
to self-govern, and to propagate their culture and their genes.
Due-process capital punishment is the cornertstone of civilized society. Civilization does not
tolerate barbarism.
The inherent foibles of humanity suggest that enshrining IN LAW that one man has the authority
to play God over another, is a descent into barbarism.
The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876
and 1965. They mandated de jure segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly ” separate
but equal ” status for black Americans. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that
were usually inferior to those provided for white Americans , systematizing a number of
economic, educational and social disadvantages.
Some examples of Jim Crow laws are the segregation of public schools, public places and public
transportation, and the segregation of restrooms and restaurants for whites and blacks. The U.S.
military was also segregated. These Jim Crow Laws were separate from the 1800-66 Black Codes ,
which had also restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African Americans. State-sponsored
school segregation was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in
1954 in Brown v. Board of Education . Generally, the remaining Jim Crow laws were overruled by
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [ 1 ] and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 .
In addition to the problems that Southerners encountered in learning free labor management after
the end of slavery, Black Americans represented the Confederacy ‘s Civil War defeat: “With white
supremacy challenged throughout the South, many whites sought to protect their former status by
threatening African Americans who exercised their new rights.” [ 9 ] White Democrats used their
power to segregate public spaces and facilities in law and reestablish dominance over blacks in
the South.
One rationale for the systematic exclusion of Black Americans from southern public society was
that it was for their own protection. An early 20th century scholar suggested that having allowed
Blacks in White schools would mean “constantly subjecting them to adverse feeling and opinion”,
which might lead to “a morbid race consciousness”. [ 10 ] This perspective took anti-Black
sentiment for granted, because bigotry was widespread in the South.
For all intents and purposes, white people are Santa Claus or some other type of demi-god.
Drop the technology and skills of the white world in an isolated community, and I’d imagine that
the villagers will worship you as gods because of the advancements that they don’t have. Hell, the
former colonial powers are basically the deus ex machina in any perpetual conflict in their former
colonies…
lol. I see tjk has resorted to the “I am rubber, you are glue” method of argument, so
lauded by Cicero in his seminal work “How to argue like an 8 year old and have no one listen
to you.’
Very good lurker, you’re being very honest about yourself. Your therapist will surely be pleased.
Marcus Aureliette, you’re about to argue with a sped kid with severe asperger’s and
borderline personality disorder who also molests Japanese schoolgirls on the subway.

If that’s the case, why are people called second rate, second class and mediocre purely based on
their lack of success with women? Because getting laid by as many women as possible is the only
thing that has any meaning in life? You say later in the post that women are, at best, just a
distraction.
The alpha male is the kind of guy that can afford to travel first class on Acela, can afford to
support his family, can afford to drive a Nissan GT-R.
So anyone with lots of money is alpha, even he lacks the aforementioned alpha qualities
(aggression etc.). I’m detecting a lack of consistency in your definitions.
Is this a membership requirement for the alpha club? What if someone meets all the random
criteria but wants to settle down with just one person?
O: OK, but I don’t know if there’s enough of an “elite” to make The Wire such a big hit in the UK.

I guess girls try to smoke out any beta jealousy and want to get some hints whether you’re serious
with them. A good shit test. I don’t know if I should answer anything, but if I do I text something
like “Good for you. Remember to keep your hands off them underages.” Or: “Great news honey.
Check for receding hairlines before doing anything silly.” This works, since every girl has texted
back in under 5 minutes saying something like “Nah, they’re not my type anyway” or something
like that.
Then she will text you something like “You know what? I keep getting hit on by a lot of guys here.
What you think of that… I must be quite a catch…”

D: What white racism remains is by and large more than justified. Not in every case certainly, but
overall.
O: I suppose, but the issue here isn’t individual views and mindsets, but rather public policy. I’m
interested in the latter, and so are most Black folk. Trust me, none of us are losing any sleep at
night because a few Crackers don’t like us.
D: People have to earn respect. Not have it given to them. That’s how every other group’s had to
make it.
O: Then by that measure I would have to say, based on the historical record, Blacks on a whole
have more than earned “respect”, far and away than most Whites today, whose lineages don’t
even go back beyond the year 1900.
D: There’s ample reason to have a jaundiced view towards the true credentials of black
professionals, considering the extent of affirmative action that was available to them if that’s what
they need to get where they are. How does one know, with that so verboten and so avidly covered
up in individual cases? If one can know, and the guy still easily makes the grade, not by minimal
and questionably low ones but by high ones, then hey, sure. No problem. Were it not for
affirmative action that later would be generally the case for those that still did make it.
O: I find it interesting that we’ve jumped from a discussion about The Wire to now a discussion
about Affirmative Action. LOL. Well, let me say this. I don’t see many Legacy Kids hanging their
heads in shame because their parents greased enough palms and paved the way for them to be
successful in life-in fact, I believe it was Saul Bellow’s boy who wrote about the peculiar American
tradition of Nepotism, and clearly, far and away more Whites have benefitted from this than
Black, up and down the ladder.
But, as is your Mr. See No Evil way, you ONLY make an issue out it, when Black folk do it, or
come anywhere close. Personally, I’m deeply ambivalent on AA, because for every benefit therein
there is also a real drawback to it. But perhaps the biggest problem I have w/the whole debate
and its promoters, like you, is that Blacks have to be held to some high bar ethical standard that
Whites themselves wouldn’t stand for one nanosecond-for example, where were you when guys
like GWB got over SOLELY because he was the fortunate busted nut of old Man Bush?!? I mean,
we can go right on down the line, both on the Right and the Left (Kennedy) w/this, and yet, no
one seems to have a problem with it. ONLY when Black folk start to use the political spoils
process to explicitly help themselves (recall your words along these lines?) THEN it becomes a
problem.
Funny that.
As for me personally, AA has bever touched my life. Everything I am, I did based on my own
merit, and the lines of work I did were the kind where you couldn’t cheat the stats. Prior to
working in the industrial sector I worked in Sales-and lemme be clear by what I mean here. I’m
not talking about the kind of sales where you make a paycheck whether you sell soap of not-I’m
talking the kind of sales where if you don’t hit your number and move product, you don’t eat.
And there have been quite a few nights where I skipped dinner because I didn’t make it happen.
That only spurred me on to excel, and no one, White, Black or Other can take that away from me.
In fact, the whole of my adult working life has been tangible, production based, where
performance can be clearly measured and assessed, unlike so many cublicle farm gigs today.
People can say all they want about me, but they can’t say that I don’t know my job or that I wasn’t
very good at it; to a Man, all of them agree that my work ethic, performance and production is
unquestioned.

Maybe that is why I never had any luck with French chicks.
Doug,
There are a few other things you said that you wanted my reaction to; I’l try to respond
now.
Your reaction to what I paraphrased from Simon, about how we basically have a surplus of
people in the post-industrial era, and how we’re willing to let them “off” themselves, is
interesting. I say that because if one applies a strictly racial lens, as you’ve done, to this thing, then
its an easy sell, as you’ve said yourself-the people of West B-More are “not like you”. So you really
don’t have too much of a problem w/them “offing” themselves.
Of course, the problem w/that kind of thinking, is akin to looking at the world through a keyhole,
instead of a door, and here’s where the sheer genius of The Wire again comes shining through.
I say that because, as I’ve noted earlier, one of thee most poignant seasons of the series, and my
personal fave, was Season Two, which focused on B-More’s White Working Class. In this case,
Polish folks, who lived and died, on the docks. The fictional Stevodores’ Union formed the
backdrop of The Wire’s examination of the Death of Work in post-industrial America at the dawn
of the 21st century.
Keep in mind now, we’re talking a season focused almost exclusively, on White folks. And a
season I’m fairly certain you haven’t seen much of, if at all.
OK, so what does this have to do w/obstensibly dumb Black folks killing each other in he ghetto?
Quite a bit as it turns out. Without hamfisted preachiness, The Wire shows the clear parallels btw
what happened to West B-More a little over three decades ago, and what is happening to B-More’s
Highland section of town, where many of its Poles live. Indeed, as the Union is in its death throes,
the young “Wiggers” of Highland town turn to slinging on the corners-sound familiar, Doug? By
now I shouldn’t have to spell it all out for ya. You’re a Stanford Man afterall.
But suffice it to say, w/the aforementioned themes, and the subplot of White Slavery in the mix,
Season Two of The Wire manages to tie two different worlds coexisting in one city-West Baltimore
and its Highland section-by showing that in so many ways, it shared the same fate. As has been
said many times here in this forum, Black America is the canary in the coalmine-what happens to
us is only a preview of what’s to come for our White brothers and sisters. The Wire showed this
very well in Season Two.
Which brings me to another major point that, because you haven’t seen enough of it, to notice.
And that is, that The Wire is an examination of institutions, and how, in an age of unbounded,
raw, capitalism, ultimately betrays ALL of us. No matter if its the drugs trade, the police dept, the
city/state gov’t, the schools or the docks/unions, The Wire shows again and again, how each
institution fails its most loyal members, and in many ways betrays them.
This is why, when you and others trot out the IQ argument, I take it w/a grain of salt, because I
know the view is a bit wider than what you’re so intently focused on. Yea, Black folks may not be
as smart as Whites, but the vast majority of those White guys, including Fank Sobotka himself,
featured in The Wire’s second season, were gonna be accused of being Nobel winners either. Like
Black folks in the not too distant past, these were honest, hardworking folk, the proverbial Salt of
the Earth, Doug, who, perhaps because of teir skin color, perhaps because of them just abit
smarter than dem Darkies, perhaps out of sheer luck of the draw, were able to dodge the bullet
that hit Black folks, hard, in the 60s, 70s and early 80s, as manufacturing and semi-skilled/skilled
labor left the cities enmasse.
In short Doug, since we’re sitting upon the ground and talking as Men here, Frank Sobotka and
his largely White Stevodores’ Union was Niggerized-debased, dehumanized, just plain ole dissed,
and seen only as good as their lessening market value will allow them to hang on to their jobs by
the powers that be. It’s interesting to note, in Season Three, after Season Two, seeing Clay Davis, a
prominent and utterly corrupt Black MD State Senator, alongside other White luminaries, shovels
in hand, breaking ground on the new proposed condos to be built on the carcass of the
dockworkers’ home turf.
It seems it ain’t only Black folks of more humble and modest means who were and are being
abandoned, hmm Doug?
Both the legit powers that be, like those mentioned above, and the underground forces, like The
Greek, as I said, Niggerized not only Sobotka but his beloved Union. Unbounded capitalism,
unencumbered by any other considerations, can do that. By Season Two’s end, we see
Highlandtown start its slow and steady decline, from a strong Blue Collar section of the city, on an
inexorable slide to West B-More’s bombed-out ways.

Are you aware that there is evidence that they are actually the kept down serfs of a the ruling
patriarchal people above them, who imposed matrilinearity upon them to prevent strong male

See the Wikipedia article on them. I made similar, much more extensive comments about this

Doug, Wikipedia is not the best source for these things. Books are better – I have several with
detailed anthropological information regarding the Mosuo.
There’s no real data on who is actually getting laid or how often, anywhere. Moot point.
Remember, I don’t think there is any such thing as a ‘matriarchal’ society. The closest are those
with some matrilineal aspects, such as the Mosuo. Other posters here disagree.
Not only have the Mosuo been white-washed by the blank slaters, they are now cashing in on it as
a tourist destination for liberals.
Doug, Wikipedia is not the best source for these things. Books are better – I have

Any one or two books on a controversial subject, particularly one that’s become a cause celeb
fairly recently, will often be less reliable than a source such as wikipedia. More detailed than wiki,
yes. The issue though is fighting out the best conclusions from the available evidence in “open
court”. Who will in the first or second instance be most motivated to study a group like the Mosuo
in detail and what will their agenda likely be?
Wikipedia is often pretty good at arriving at what will stand as a consensus judgment.
On the way to getting there or if an article is under heavy “bombing” at the moment, it sometimes
isn’t for awhile. For a time some real howlers can exist.
I think wikipedia is actually usually a much better source than it’s currently fashionable in
academia to admit. It would have to be unfashionable in academia, wouldn’t it?
There’s no real data on who is actually getting laid or how often, anywhere. Moot point.
Frankly Bonnie, that’s an idiotic statement. Of course there is. There’s lots of evidence for it of
various kinds in many societies.
I gotta say WTF … are these women insane? Who has a conversation like the first
conversation he posted? “I am hungry…. I dunno where I want to go … ” he keeps asking her
what she likes then at the end she ignores all logic and says “you don’t care what I want”. I doubt
she was that crazy and irrational. But I could be wrong.
The problem is not that he is supplicating. The problem is they weren’t communicating.
“you’re an asshole”
“oh. that’s helpful. I, I don’t even need to try very hard.”
“hey, I really don’t like how you never spend time with me”
“let’s talk about that.”
Just read your posts on Friday about Jews. I’m not as interested in talking about it now as I

your thinking.
I FINALLY bought Strauss’ book this weekend (already read Emergency and knew I liked his

I bought it with the fiancee at Barnes and Noble. I had ten different responses running through my
head, from Agree and Amplify to ignoring it to playful to a real, logical answer (I know, crazy!) if
she asked why I was buying it.
What does that mean? Or does it just mean that she didn’t even notice what I was buying.
She bought a wedding magazine while we were there. I wonder how many times a receipt has

Different strokes for different folks. You go your way, other men will go theirs. What you’re doing
is insulting a lot of men out there, calling them suckers and dumb. I think that’s like the male

enough.”
I’m going to stick with the belief that any women who are pissed off when they make the
discovery that game has, in fact, worked on them – need to figure out that it’s only because
women have become that predictable.

I would assume that most strippers wouldn’t be seeing their in-club clients in outside of
the club contexts. Don’t they make enough money to shop, buy narcotics, and pay their
bills with the money they make to have the luxury of choosing to schedule their off time
with being around some guy who treats them poorly and are after their money and sex only?
And whenever someone tells you that they had sex with a stripper in the champagne room, you
might want to suggest that they make it sex after they got back to his place when telling the story
in the future, so that it’s at least slightly believable. Still, if men go to clubs and bars – or strip
clubs with bars – the chances of them finding a woman they could potentially marry are slim. For
women working at any of the same, the chance of them meeting a man who is worthwhile in
relationship options that potentially include marriage are nonexistent. They have to work where
the worst case scenario classification of men tend to regularly frequent. This based on my
interpretation of what would constitute as a client of an exotic dancer, which is something a lot
like having “regulars” at a bar or restaurant who are particular about who the bartender or server
is. Although there’s not really any issue of selling one’s used panties when employed as a
bartender or server at regular places that are without “theater, dancers, gentlemen’s club, etc” in
the name (as a start..there are more differences that I don’t have the time to state).
You could say something like”I plan on having your body cryonically frozen until medical science
can cure you and you then can be part of my personal harem in the future” or something silly like
that.

place in this world. For awhile, I thought perhaps I was some sort of freak, from a different planet,
or maybe the twilight zone. Why?
I have always known that the only way I would ever have a satisfying relationship would be with
a confident, take-charge man. Someone who can handle any small amount (tiny, really, but still
there sometimes despite all of my self-awareness) of BS I might put out there (he Tarzan me Jane).
And not only my BS, but all of the big BS that the world throws at him. Someone I can look up to
in some regards, and drives me crazy at the same time. I will lose respect for any alternative. I
don’t like to say that, but it is true.
I often hear complaints from girls I know about their husbands’ more dominant moves, “he wants
to live here, I want to live there,” or “he always (does something), and it drives me bananas. I
don’t think I can be with him forever,” – if they are seeking advice, I will try to suggest that every
institution needs a leader, or that it is impossible for two people to have exactly the same ideas all
of the time, and one of them needs to be the final decision maker. I am always met with the “What
are you, one of THEM?!” stare.
So I am glad to know I am not a freak. In truth, I don’t suppose I ever thought I was, but its good
to know that there may be others out there who concur, at least on some level. It was nice to see
some other like-minded ladies posting as well. For whatever reason, my aforementioned
viewpoints have segregated me somewhat from many female acquaintances.
Thanks again-
Forget strippers, isn’t that the ballpark price of a really nice two-person dinner that betas use to
try to buy access to a woman’s nether regions?
Chicks who think the man has to compensate them for their time are daft. They are living in the
deep dark past on the wrong side of the supply-demand curve. They should be compensating
men for their time, since their feminist mothers ushered in an era where male investment in
relationships was vilified and discouraged and there’s no going back.
