TL : DR - Men need both women and freedom. While the sex drive is biologically stronger, it is in freedom that a man has full access to his power. Treat your freedom like your time and energy.

Men need freedom, and men need women. These 2 are as contradictory as women needing both lover and provider and it sums up male strategy in a nutshell. The drive for freedom and autonomy in a man is strong, though in all men, the sex drive is biologically much stronger -- this is why becoming a master of one's sexual impulse is always a high value man's ultimate freedom. This follows from men being the gatekeepers of commitment. Hence women draw men to commit to them by using sex as the carrot. However, all female strategy is totally powerless against a man who chooses freedom. This is why dread works.

Men who cross a certain level of abundance to the point where women no longer have much to offer in comparison to what they seek or find (it's subjective, but it exists) end up becoming monks or uncommitted for this reason. A less extreme version of that is sex without commitment. But you can go read any old religious book (the bible, Hinduism, Buddhism), it's quite obvious that there is a small subset of men that in some form or the other prefer freedom over sex and the associated enslavement. Old books on dance and music talk about heroes and heroines and their strategies and separation game is a key tool in the male arsenal. In fact, anyone who was hit by the Red Lightning will find it hard to disagree on this point.

A free man with high value is in fact much sought after. This man basically has himself as his point of origin, therefore by nature he's more attractive and sought. I mean think of all those articles in the media that talk about rich and eligible bachelors in the top 1% not settling down - this shaming tactic actually indicates how much they're sought after.

A man's freedom is his source of personal power and after his time and energy, it is his most valuable asset, and his simplest and most powerful weapon against all female manipulation

Now here's one more thing to know -- All the technology that set women free also set men free as well. You as a man have far more freedom than your ancestors in conservative, religious and technology-less societies ever did.

The real sufferers of feminism, technology and women's liberation are women wanting family and commitment (before they get it) and committed men. And believe me, women still want commitment (wait till the party years finish, then you'll see).

I was reading Franco's manual of seduction, where he talks about a PNP (Positive Negative Positive) cycle of addiction and how women use it in sex, alternating between giving (P) and withdrawing (N), which usually becomes more withdrawing with time. Well, men have a PNP cycle in commitment too - it's noticed when men pull away or seek 'me time' in LTRs or marriages. Dread and separation games is basically this in action.

In fact I'd go on to say that the feminine is cute and sexy and sweet alright, but over time the influence of the feminine begins to act as a shackling limiter on the male, as apart from other things, he needs to work using a paradigm of thinking and feeling totally opposite to his own. This usually causes pent up tension at some point - hence the need for man caves and male spaces. It has actually been proven that too much oxytocin tends to suppress testosterone.

In the event where a man starts to feel that women, marriage or sex aren't worth it (like in most western nations), he'll choose freedom. This is what TRP is basically trying to seek - maximize sexual access as well as freedom. A solitary man has few needs apart from the essentials and what supports his mission. The technology that set women free in the last 200 years also makes life equally easier for men. This however hasn't changed our instincts in the least.

A free man is powerful, and can walk out of a relationship even if it means blowing up everything he built in the process -- and this is scary. True freedom is as amoral as sexual strategy and it frees you from all sorts of one-itis - even one-itis for this lifetime. Women actually do fear losing their man on a subconscious level, and even the most blue pilled guy being treated as a complete loser will find their woman freaking out and doing all sorts of things to make him come back when he decides to go.

This occurred to me when I came across a post on Red Pill Women (RPW) lamenting the state of modern marriage and so many articles written in the media about men being 'afraid of commitment' (the usual man as coward shaming tactic), I mean just google it and see how many results you get on 'commitment phobia' - and as usual the answer is always something very different from (cough, cough) 'insecurity'.
