This article just came out this month, so I don’t know how much it has been discussed but it matched red pill philosophy really well. Women in their 20s ride the CC, chasing after the top 10% of men who refuse to commit because those men have too many options. I appreciate the red pill despite only learning of this forum a couple weeks ago, as it actually let me understand that article for what it is.

What is bothersome, but expected obviously, about the article is how they (naturally) try to lay the blame for everything at the feet of men. Virtually none of the blame goes to the women, who ignore the bottom 90% of men and create a market where men have all the power because the women only include the most valuable men in their dating market. Women lock out 90% of men of their dating network, then get upset that the most valuable 10% of men refuse to commit to them for a relationship because they have too many options.

What is sad for me (as a member of the 90% of men who are largely invisible) is that I know what eventually happens to these women. They hit the wall, their looks fade and all of a sudden the guys they used to hook up with couldn’t care less about them. At that point they have multiple kids (usually by fathers who play a minor or non-existent role in child care, sometimes multiple dads) and they want a beta bucks male to step in and help clean up the mess of their lives. Raise their kids, support them financially, etc. But many times their standards don’t drop. They still want a 6’2” alpha male with a 6 figure income and a graduate degree despite them bringing almost nothing to the dating market to justify why a man like that would want them. The women then become really bitter and resentful and start talking about ‘being a princess who needs to be pampered’ and how ‘there are no real men left’.

I guess it is just sad, because there is no way for most men to win. Most of us will never be in the top 10% of men who actually have options, but most of us don’t want to clean up the mess these women make of their lives after they hit the wall in their 30s either. It sometimes feels like those are the only options to break into the dating market. Be a man in the top 10%, or be a beta male to is grateful to give up his money to have sloppy seconds of some bitter used up woman.
