I'd rather not use an email, but I'm open to learning more about how long-form content might fit in with your plans.

Not everyone is cut out to work for themselves, but given the audience here, I'm fairly confident the men reading this are more likely to be the type able enough to support themselves by their own initiative. Just as 'swallowing the pill' leads you to critically assess the sociosexual interactions of men and women, it ought to also prompt similar reflection on your professional circumstances. We know that employment is a trade of time (labor) for money. To be blunt, your firm makes at minimum 3x…

Weak-minded people would consider this place toxic because it presents a harsher reality than today's society equips them for. There's raw information here that they are unwilling to even consider being possibly accurate, and that's what causes the fear and reaction; opinion can be argued, scientific and anecdotal evidence is harder to squiggle away from. It is essentially a framework for assimilating all information on its own merits rather than automatically accepting precepts and practices fr…

Women don't understand how to price themselves. They don't grasp the phenomenon of market feedback. Today, every woman believes she deserves an elite man as a husband. Her birthright, thanks to the vagina she was born with, is a man who qualifies under the 6-6-6 standard: no shorter than six feet, a penis no less than six inches, and an annual income no lower than six figures. Each girl has this mental picture of the guy who will be her life partner as a 6'2" polyglot CEO with washboard abs, a f…

https://archive.today/f0s8k There's one. I'm too tired to track down some of the others I've seen lately; only knew that one because I chose to write a counterpoint in it.

I have noticed an influx of anti-marriage posts relative to the last time I was active here (weeks ago, have been tied up with real-world pursuits). One thing that many seem to overlook as a cause for this divide is the age gap. Yes, you cited it (in a disparaging way, even; calling yourself 'seasoned'), but for the wrong way. You sought to exalt yourself; the real kernel is that guys in their mid-20s or younger are part of the first generation to live their formative adolescent and teen years i…

You cannot negotiate desire. It's a sidebarred topic. As our 'locker room' (great epithet) has grown, it's important to hammer this point home. If you want emotional intimacy from anyone (friend, family, girl you're seeing), you need to be the type of person who someone wants intimacy from. Why? Because how do you get more intimate with someone? You 'give' them more intimacy; you open yourself up, you show them your best side, you do things for them. If you want to avoid being in any sexual rela…

My first job out of school was at an elite investment bank you've all heard of and seen in the news. I learned painfully during one internship to keep a low profile at the office and draw a firm line between personal and professional lives. Ever afterwards, I didn't talk much about family, romance, or personal matters in a professional setting. I spent a few months casually with a European girl signed to Elite. Classic blonde Euro chic look, 5'10", the works. We didn't see each other that much (…

Put a helmet on; difficult words incoming. Just as a guy doesn't understand the physical pain of a woman having a period, or a woman can't understand the pain of getting kicked in the nuts, so a low 'SMV' (as it's called here) man won't understand a lot of the things a high SMV man will experience. If you're objectively a male '9' or '10,' there will be times when you come across women who are objectively attractive but less than worthy of your time/attention. Maybe she's a hard 7/soft 8 and you…

You're right, especially with the point of a high-value male perspective. That's been an eye-opener for me; I didn't have a ton of confidence as a young kid, but I went to a top school, grew past 6', and got a six-figure job out of college. Years ago, before I found this site or anything else like it online, I started to naturally adopt the "I am the prize" mentality. One of the things that took the longest to grow immune to, though, was exactly what you described: the panic, hurt, shock, or des…

You haven't demonstrated your value well enough. I could write a lot, but I'll make it easy by pointing something out in other 'FRs' that you can easily identify. The common recurring theme is self-improvement. Ever read the FR from the guy in his 40s who did an 8-month turnaround in a dead-bedroom situation with a nagging wife by rekindling his teenage love for the bass? He bought a secondhand one on impulse after seeing it in a window display, named it Marsha, started practicing after work (ev…

Said response is a blatant lie. If anyone takes the time to read the court records, they'd see that: Lynn offered her the use of and deed to the house while he paid it off. The wife and her attorney petitioned for the house, all its furnishings, as well as the $1,500 a month. The judge awarded her less than she petitioned for. In the initial hearing, the wife testified on the stand that she wished to move back into the house she left, to have Lynn pay all of the domestic bills her residency gene…

Bill Burr's piece on Arnold is so fucking fitting. The guy reached the peak of three different professions (bodybuilding, acting, politics) while being an incredibly self-aware, self-assured, rational agent of his own interest.

Bitch still can't cook a steak, but she can bake her little tits off, now. I haven't laughed this hard in awhile.

I can't echo this enough. What you need to realize (that I didn't) was that when you find a legitimate unicorn (traditional upbringing, virgin, great school, 8+/10) in the wild, she still falls victim to AWALT. She hasn't cheated in the past (she's a virgin), but if you fail as a man, it's not like she won't have the opportunity to step out on you and find a way to hamster it away. There are countless men here who will tell you never get married. I fall pretty fucking close to that. Regardless, …

Thanks. I used to only lurk, but I figured it's time to 'be the change you want to see.' We need quality material on here. Everyone agrees that the "BP examples" and "women suck because X" get tiresome and don't encourage men to excellence. Few seem to contribute something to counter that trend. Hell, I may even make my own site and start writing more seriously.

I detest how easily people dichotomize alpha and beta. It's not like all behaviors are either strictly alpha or beta. An alpha is someone who knows what he wants, how to get it, and is applying himself to get it. If you drink recreationally (without abuse) and it puts you in the groove, go for it. It's smart to leverage all resources that improve your mentality or performance. If you don't drink, congrats, hats off to you. It makes no sense to judge someone on this. That's like judging the guy i…

Because it presents a harsher reality than people are accustomed to or are willing to even consider being possibly accurate. It is essentially a framework for assimilating all information on its own merits rather than automatically accepting precepts and practices from institutions or people that appear to be legitimate. It forces you to be critical of your every move as well as those of every single person you interact with (whether its their words you're hearing or reading, the actions you see…

Too many of these focus on women. That's not the real message. "No one has your interests as much as heart as you do." You need to prioritize yourself. When you operate from a position of strength, all areas of life unfold before you: career, women, family, friendships, etc.

I rarely visit this site anymore; I wasn't aware of it until a commenter on ROK mentioned it. Amusingly enough, I left that site months ago when the quality of writing deteriorated when Roosh brought on more writers to increase page visits and ad revenue (clickbait). Today, I feel the same about this forum; the influx of newcomers has overturned the original dynamic. Now it's exactly as you just said. It's rare to see a more mature post, and most of the time, it isn't as accepted as the divorce …

I love this gem of a comment. So do hundreds of others: 759 (+), 59 (-) It is well established that between 10-15% of children are being raised by men who think they are the biological fathers, but are not. 10-15%! Yet we are asked to believe that 15-20% of women have affairs. This is a mathematical absurdity. In an age of birth control, available abortion, etc., not to mention the fact that only a small percentage of acts of unprotected intercourse result in pregnancy, it is absurd to think tha…

I didn't say ten. You did. u/kami_kakushi mentioned he worked 12-13, and in my reply, I mentioned a role that has you working 16 hours M-F with another 10 on the two weekend days. My example is real; it's been my life. The numbers aren't fake - if you work at one of the better bulge bracket (or large boutique) investment banks (think MS, GS, Blackstone, Evercore, etc.), these numbers are par for the course. Yes: out of undergrad, you earn $150,000 pre-tax. During your first year on the job, priv…

Yet so many on here complain about being poor, financially unstable, or having limited career opportunities. It's been said numerous times in different ways on this forum; you should view your position at someone else's company as them renting your time in exchange for their money. If you're able (in your youth) to secure a position that's more demanding in terms of time but rewards you with money, better career positioning (for future roles within the firm or a natural progression to another fi…

I rarely comment here, but I felt compelled to upon seeing this. Don't wear a black suit. Unless you are a waiter, bouncer, Mafia hitman, orchestra member, butler, clergy member, or attending a funeral, stay out of black suits. Wear either charcoal or navy, make sure it's two-buttoned, has side vents, and is tailored to your physique (ideally made-to-measure or bespoke). Best regards.

Can't agree with these two comments more heartily.

My only encouragement would be to avoid comparing yourself to others in the gym. There's that classic story of a young guy who just sold his company during the dot-com bubble and takes this gorgeous girl out to an exquisite restaurant. He's happy that he can wine and dine whoever he wants, pay as much as he wants, ride home in his brand new Italian supersport, and go anywhere he wants. He's loud and exuberant in the restaurant, living life with a huge smile on his face, until the maître d' comes…

It's not racist. Racism is something perpetuated by an institutionalized system of control, discrimination, and inequality. Sexual attraction is not racism. If you don't want to fuck someone because you think they're inferior to you, that's closer to racism. If you don't want to fuck an Asian or black person because you find their features unattractive, that isn't. I apply this both internally and externally. Some people find me really attractive. Others don't. I find a lot of people unattractiv…
