Anecdotal observations on game, women and politics

This post by the charming and thoughtful Sofia got me thinking about some issues related to game and politics. This entry is a bit more disorganized then normal, so bear with me.

1) When it comes to politics, women are either totally dull or batshit crazy. There is no middle ground. Without fail, all of the girls I’ve known, dated, loved, and banged who were excessively interested in politics were um, weird. I don’t have enough experience with conservative chicks (not too many unmarried, single, hot ones in the not-so-great American Northeast) to form an educated opinion, but liberal girls are generally bitchy and demand total ideological agreement from their men. If you don’t have the balls to articulate why your beliefs are better, prepare to be emasculated. For instance, while in college and prior to stumbling into the ways of the pick-up artist, I lucked into getting a girlfriend who was heavily involved in an anti-globalization group. Being the beta bitch I was, I masked my Evil Right-Wing Beliefs for the sake of having pussy, which translated into paying a markup for “fair trade” coffee and getting hyped up about spending my Saturday afternoons at anti-free trade rallies. On the plus side, leftie girls put out quickly – but you knew that already.

This extends to the world of political punditry as well. Both left-wing (Feministing and related blogs) and right-wing (Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin) women are known for making hyper-emotional arguments bordering on the insane. No man could ever get away with a tenth of the wingnuttery that Coulter has spouted on national television (though Glenn Beck is trying his damndest). Political women who aren’t nuts are unbelievably boring, which is just as bad. As Female Misogynist wrote here:

Now, as long-time readers may have gathered, my blogreader constantly changes. Some bloggers, you read them for a couple of months and you’ve already absorbed what they have to offer and don’t really need to keep reading unless you just enjoy their style. Vox Popoli is one such; read one month of him and you’ll get the message. Also, I’ll get interested in a subject and read several blogs about it for a few months, then when my curiosity is satisfied I’ll drop most of them except for the few that are still stimulating. And when I do that, now that I think of it, the female bloggers are always dropped at that point. Their blogs are always the most trivial.

I recently dumped Megan McArdle and Laura Wood from my blogroll and RSS reader. I’ve been trying to read McArdle for a couple of months, but I just can’t get into her. Intellectually, she’s as dull as a butter knife, and she can’t provide a single economic insight that the fellas at EconLog, the Ludwig von Mises Institute, or The Daily Reckoning can do better. As for Laura Wood, she’s a sixth-rate mind and her commenters are just as lame. She’s basically Lawrence Auster without any of the man’s intelligence or insight, and she’d be more useful if she’d shut up, get in the kitchen, and make her husband a sandwich.

2) Being apolitical is girly. The sweetest, most feminine girls I’ve loved knew next to nothing about politics or simply didn’t care. One of my most fondly remembered flames in college, a six-foot tall, raven-haired beauty, didn’t know what the Watergate scandal was. Her ignorance was my bliss.

3) The amount of energy a woman pours into politics is directly correlated with her age. It was Michael Savage who first joked that Hollywood starlets become more liberal as their butts lose the firmness they had when they were young, and I think it’s true for most females. My experience is that teenage girls and college chicks, on average, couldn’t care less about what’s happening in Washington. At the same time, my decrepit cougar co-workers can’t fucking shut up about current events. I can’t go a day without hearing them natter on about how incredible Obama is and how evil the Republicans are, or some variation thereof. I HAVE noted that married women tend to be more discreet about their political views, so perhaps dick deprivation plays a role in making women into left-wing harpies. Another reason to stick to young girls!

4) Alpha males, if they are political, are usually conservative. All of the ones I’ve known in my life, including the asshole I wrote about here, were solidly right-wing. Knowing the truth about women has a way of knocking the leftist programming out of your head. Before learning game, I was a moderate neocon; now, I’m somewhere between Pat Buchanan and Francisco Franco on the reactionary scale. Conversely, a higher than average number of liberals are betas.

5) Most libertarians are betas. Every hardcore libertarian I’ve known was socially maladjusted to some degree, and none of them were good with women. As Razib Khan wrote, there’s something about libertarianism that draws the socially retarded:

The “grasped a priori” part has really bothered me. I mean, I read psychology and history, I can’t derive it a priori. Recently I was going over some issues in modern Middle Eastern history, and learned that King Hussein of Jordan had apparently asked Israel for permission to send a brigade to Syria to invade the Jewish state during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Honestly, I really don’t know if I could ever grasp Arab psychology a priori. The more and more I read about psychology the more I think that anyone who believes that they could develop an axiomatic system of human action from insights they grasped a priori is totally retarded (mad props to Aristotle though, he worked before the cognitive revolution). More specifically I have to wonder if they are socially retarded. I have suggested that an attraction to libertarianism is in part a function of your personality. Normal people rarely become libertarians, rather, it’s a ideology driven by young non-alpha males with Roark/Galt fantasies. There are many more Justin Raimondo & Eric Garris types than Mark Cubans in hard-core libertarianism. Any survey of the biographies of von Mises or Murray Rothbard emphasizes their stubborn heterodox tendencies; but at this point I just wonder if they were social retards to whom their a priori logic was plausible because they really weren’t as complicated as most humans, who engage in habitual and casual hypocrisy and contradiction. I recall reading Rothbard once explaining how one might buy and sell children in “flourishing child markets” in an anarcho-capitalist order. Even then I remember thinking, “Dude is weird….”

6) Most alpha males are, to a certain extent, apathetic about politics. Even the ones I’ve known who had political opinions generally had a “who gives a shit” attitude about the whole sordid mess.

7) Women should NOT be allowed to vote. Ideally, neither should men, but that’s another topic entirely.
