One hundred or so years ago there was a man named Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto (you're damn right I copy/pasted his name). He noted that 80% of the land was owned by 20% of the population. This is referred to sometimes as the 80-20 rule. And if you haven't noticed this effect among the general population, then I regret to inform you, but you're probably in that lower 80% my friend. Additional applications of the 80-20 rule are widespread.. they include:

  • 20% of customers are responsible for 80% of sales
  • 20% of manufacturing defects cause 80% of the problems
  • the first 20% of effort on a project yields 80% of results
  • 20% of employees produce 80% of the results
  • 20% of peapods produce 80% of the peas

    This shit goes on and on, but they have since found that it applies to almost everything. There seems to just be this relationship between 80 and 20. What's this mean for us? Well you ever wonder why women complain about how there's "never any good men out there!!" "where are all the good men!!!!" ... meanwhile she's literally an HB9 and can sweep up whoever the fuck she wants. They're literally swimming in a fishery wondering where all the fish are.

    This is all completely insane, right? Hell no. It's because a whole 80% of the men on this planet... SUCK. It takes 4 shitty men to accomplish what 1 good man can do. I think most of us notice this the second we start working out in the real world. Before we started working in those offices and everything we were always like "oh woah he's a project manager he must be good/smart." But then we get into those offices, we look around us at managers, business owners, salespeople, etc. and we're like "how in the fuck did these people get into these positions!?" (Seniority, for the most part) Beta's helping beta's.

    What's this mean for you? Let me tell you something, if you're taking the time to look at yourself, analyze your flaws and improve them, you already have a massive leg up on the male population. Because a lot of people simple don't do this. I'd say regardless of how much you suck, that incentive you're showing already puts you in the top 50%. Point is, put in the effort, grow, be introspective, find out what's causing you to be shy and quiet and unfunny and boring, and fix it.

    This means that if you know you're a good man. If you know you have your shit together. Know that you're most likely sitting in that 20%. It's a rule. 80-20. You can immediately walk into a room and say "I'm better than 80% of the men in here." And you'd be right. There you go, now you have a rule with scientific proof to back your confidence up. 20% of the men get 80% of the pussy. Go get it.
