Plug me softly

It’s that time of the week again, folks!

First up, Agnostic reports that high school and college girls are more receptive to PDA than twentysomethings:

Being under her peers’ social microscope predicts that she’d want to shove her overly affectionate boyfriend away without even thinking about it, while the power of monogamy to cloud out her thoughts about potential mates predicts that she wouldn’t care. For anyone who’s been to the park or the mall in their lives, the answer is pretty clear — monogamy is stronger than peer scrutiny. There’s no mystery why a girl would allow PDA from a handsome quarterback, but a lot of the guys who these adolescent girls are with are pretty awkward and goofy. The fact that they accept PDA from them is pretty startling, so it must be that their more monogamous behavior, compared to 20-something women, outweighs their anxiety about what their peers will think when they see some doofus wrapping his arms around her.

You would never see this among adults with jobs, for instance.

Ben Leonard has a great review of From Nyet to Da: Understanding the New Russia:

To begin with one must understand the history of Russia. Russia sees itself as the third Rome; the first was in Italy, the second in Constantinople, and the third in Moscow. The word Czar means Caesar in Russian. Similar to Constantinople/Istanbul the third Rome sees itself as a bridge between the East and the West. The Mongols conquered and ruled Russia for some time (their descendants are the Tartars) giving Russians experience with Asiatic peoples. Russia also borders China and reaches all the way to Alaska which was formerly a part of Russia. Russia has been cut off from the West at times which made it miss the Renaissance. Since Russia lags generally lags behind Western Europe in terms of standard of living and technology it views its Western neighbors with a mixture of envy and contempt.

His post is spot on.

11minutes posts on the death of femininity in American women:

With the blur between gender lines, we lost Gentlemen and Ladies alike. Young boys get told that it is okay to cry even if you are not a girl. And young girls get raised to embrace their tomboyish side of playing in the mud, burping, cursing and farting – just like the boys.

In emasculating men, we’ve made women into dudes with vaginas. Ugh.

Cless Alvein has a two-part story “describ[ing] the average-case life trajectory of a very average young professional female in Manhattan.” From the first part:

Sarah’s full sexual history: 3 boyfriends from relationships lasting more than 6 months. Normal. No problem. She’s had flings, one of which was an earnest attempt at a relationship that nevertheless failed early and explosively, and two of which were rebound relationships with no intention of permanence. She broke off all of those flings, each in an extremely rude way. Then there are three one-night stands– her first sexual encounter, at 16, was with an unemployed man then twice her age; one was in college (sophomore year, early winter) with a frat boy; and the third was at age 26 during a grinding dry spell, when she was “too busy for relationships”. She’s never cheated, technically speaking, although her college one-nighter occurred two days after breaking up with a long-term boyfriend, and everyone found out about it. Her total number is 9.

Sarah does not consider herself a slut. Sluts, in her mind, are those actively seek casual sex, those who have it a lot more often than she does, and those who are proud and vocal about having casual sex. Sarah has a clear definition of a slut and, by her definition, she’s not one. (Author’s note: I tend to agree with Sarah: she’s not a slut. She’s a worse-than-average modern woman, but I wouldn’t describe her as a slut. She’s just badly behaved.)

Definitely worth a read.

LILGRL debuts at Girl Game with a post defining the objectives of girl game:

There are a few reasons that “Girl Game” is universally ignored as a phenomenon — the main reason being, it’s become intrinsic to the concept of “femininity.”  So, instead of seeing a girl as being “good at game” we see her as being ultra-feminine (and thus, well-liked by men).  Of course, a girl can learn to be (or just act like she is) a paragon of femininity in the same way that a guy can learn to be (or just act like he is) an alpha.  Being feminine, after all, has nothing to do with looks.

Given the worthlessness of mainstream women’s dating advice, I’m looking forward to hearing more from these ladies.

Rake tries a daytime approach and reports on the results:

Now, I HAVE approached in the daytime before. I don’t find it horribly difficult if I can come up with some sort of pretense, or somehow figure out a way to make it seem natural that I’m talking to her. Last week, for instance, I got on the elevator with a woman that works on the same floor as me, made idle chit chat on the way down and then wound up walking with her and chatting for a couple of blocks. Right at the end I noticed that she had a great big rock on her finger, so I didn’t go for the number, but it was a solid interaction. I could tell I was generating attraction from her. It worked. It was seamless and natural without any awkwardness.

Day game is going to become big in the next few years. Bet on it.

Roissy reveals that inside every good girl is a slut yearning to break free:

Yes, women like to fuck. But there is a caveat. They only like to fuck men higher than them in status. Female hypergamy doesn’t disappear; it just acclimates to changing incentive structures. Tyler Durden was hitting upon a truth when he wrote about the existence of a matrix-like secret society. A small pool of alpha males really is hogging a disproportionate amount of vaj action when that vaj is at its most desirable. The fact that most betas eventually settle down with a road-worn, heart-stomped wife in their late 20s/early 30s doesn’t disprove the reality of the secret society.

It takes game if you want to unleash the nymphomaniac in any girl.

Also from Roissy, this video featuring Ukrainian sand painting artist Kseniya Simonova:

Now that’s talent, right there.

Roosh distills pickup into nine rules:

It’s rare that the hottest girl will be the most horny—she always has a steady supply of dick that she can access. Banging her depends just as much on luck and timing than actual game. Try your hand with her every now and then, but keep in mind that screening for horniness is just as important as personality and beauty. If the girl you’re dealing with has gotten laid recently, there will be no sense of urgency and the iron will be too cool for you to get inside her pants quickly.

Working within the rules of reality is always the best way forward.

Talleyrand writes on the psychological neoteny of women:

Not only have men been selecting women for beauty, they have been selecting them for being childlike.  A woman that was more childlike was more fun as a partner.  The unfortunate side effect is that women as a group tend to live in the moment just as children do, without thinking about the long term impact of their choices and consequences.  They are more emotional.  Despite what our current society pushes about emotional health, existing like this is incredibly destructive.

As I’ve written before, a society that doesn’t beat morality into its women will be undone by their behavior.

A.J. Travis has been on fire in the past week, his most recent post informing men how to identify sluts:

1. Tattoos.

There is a reason they call them ‘tramp stamps.’ Any girl who is foolish enough to make a decision to allow a high school drop-out to inject ink under her skin, usually has no problem letting other unsavory guys inject her with less permanent liquids.

Roissy’s epic, Jezebel-invaded post on this subject is also worth a read.

Virgle Kent takes a trip to Colombia and comes back with an amusing story:

One final note. Hot girls were everywhere in Colombia, even in the airport. It was tough preparing myself for what would greet me when I landed in Atlanta for my connecting flight back to DC. One thing’s for sure: you know you’re in the A when all the flight attendants are flamboyantly gay males, dudes wearing shades on the plane at night, and more dudes making out with each other. Fat girls munching away. No cute girls in sight. I can’t wait for my next trip to South America.

*adds Colombia to list of must-visit countries*

Geoffrey Falk uses a recent murder in Kentucky to remind us that white trash proles are just as bad as NAMs:

Two guys owning a house together = gay. And two Yuppie-ish “friends” who own a house, going out for a walk together = flaming gay. At least, that’s the prole logic. Why else would four white dumbfucks have beaten the shit out of them, in a “random” crime? Just because they looked gay.

Stick that in your race realism and believe it.

Steve Sailer reports on the liberal plot to unleash Australia’s failed Stolen Generation policies on black children:

In other words, the trend is to re-enact the Australian Stolen Generation scheme. As you’ll recall, in the 1930s, half-blood children of alcoholic Aboriginal mothers were sent to boarding schools to learn how to function in white society by well-intentioned whites. This was condemned in the movie Rabbit Proof Fence, but, amusingly, the director, Philip Noyce, wound up, much like the white bad guy in his film, sending his adolescent half-blood female star to boarding school to get her away from her alcoholic family.

The evil wrought by egalitarianism will not abate any time soon.

The Audacious Epigone compiles a list of countries where the U.S. dollar goes the furthest:

The ideal runaway spot is a place that is simultaneously modern and allows you to live like a king. What follows is a rank order listing of countries by exchange rate-PPP ratio as a percentile for which 2008 data and estimates are available. A value over 100% means your dollars will go further than they will in the US; a value under 100% means they won’t go as far they will at home.

Russia, the Ukraine, and Brazil are all pretty high up on the list. Huzzah!

Female Misogynist lays into feminists and the amorality of women:

So that feminist was figuring that, when a man makes her horny, she’s willing to suspend any scruples she has for him. If he wants to steal, murder, whatever, that’s fine with her, as long as her gina tingles. Therefore, since women make me horny, I should be willing to tolerate any evil behavior on their part! They lie? Make false battering and rape accusations? Use litigation to force their way into jobs they can’t do? Spawn fatherless bastards who will grow up to be violent criminals? Wreck civilization? So what, as long as I’m wet that’s fine with me! Because I want to have sex with women, I should be willing to allow them to wreak havoc to their hearts’ content!

She also gives a shout-out to The Fifth Horseman via this post of mine.

Φ watches a National Geographic special on mail order brides and gives his thoughts:

My primary emotion watching the episode was sadness. It profiled two male clients of an International Marriage Broker (IWB) seeking Russian women. We saw profiles of two men: the first, 36yo James, starting his relationship with 30yo Uliana; the second, 3rd grade schoolteacher Gary (age not provided, but I would guess 50yo), who married his Russian fiance’ Olga (I would guess 40yo) by the end of the hour. My general impression was that, personality-wise, James had a bit more going for him than Gary, but both of these men were sweet, awkward, and bereft of game. We see James’ fawningly complimenting Uliana in a desperately beta kind of way; we see Gary, at the airport to receive Olga, waiting for two hours for her to clear customs, almost in tears at the possibility that she may not have made the flight. It was easy to see why these men faced difficulty in the domestic mating market. They were, in a word, harmless, it both the good and bad senses of the word.

Really worth a read.

Ganttsquarry vents on an aspect of the Roissysphere that pisses him off:

My irritation still stands though.  Every time Roissy writes one of his “Approach This Set” posts for example, the comment section has a few people ridiculously undervaluing the women in the picture.

Generally an 8 becomes a 6( or even less in a few cases), a 6 becomes a 4( or a 3), and so on.  Maybe they take those 2 subtracted points and add them somewhere else.  I dunno.

It’s a fair point.

Hermes challenges the Roissysphere to reconcile what he feels are two propositions that are at odds:

When an unruly dog bites the mailman, we don’t blame the dog; we blame the owner for failing to keep the dog fenced in or on a leash. The stronger the first proposition, the weaker the second, and vice versa. If it is solely up to men to control and lead women, then women can have no responsibility for the current situation. If women are to blame, on the other hand, they must possess at least as much moral agency as men, if not more.

I’ve read Hermes’ blog for close to two years, and he’s one of the bloggers who I respect the most. His argument is compelling.

Finally, the Nostalgia Critic compares the classic children’s movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to Tim Burton’s remake. Laughs ensue.
