Those familiar with this corner of the Internet-that nexus of Game/PUA meeting grounds, and kind of Libertarian-HBD hybrid of blogs-will be familiar with blogger “Whiskey”, who has a blogged named Whiskey’s Place. He focuses primarily on the media and entertainment, and while I’ve my fair share of disagreements with him, overall I’ve found much of what he’s had to say quite insightful and entertaining as well.
Recently, Steve Sailer seems t have gotten wind of both the Weekly Standard’s feature story on Game and the modern day American dating scene, as well as the NYT piece on the college gender gap and its implications for dating along those lines; I’ll have more to say about Sailer’s take on all this in due course. But for now, I’d like to present Whiskey’s comments, taken from the thread over at Sailer’s place. What do you make of Whiskey’s comments?
Feel free to chime in!

Ignoring the very real disinvestment (and lack of reproduction, effectively with late marriage if at all) of beta males is puzzling from the HBD crowd. The very same folks who argue, persuasively, that average IQ and genes matter, want to pretend that massive selecting out of various traits in the Middle and Working class White population won’t have any effect. Or that massive selection FOR the various traits associated with successful reproduction: low future time orientation, low self-control, high libido, and so on won’t have an immediate and massive effect.
That’s pretty funny. People here like to pretend that “the Black Ghetto just happened” or was always that way, when the truth is that Black negative success behaviors become super-charged over time, just as British lower class White behaviors did, for the same reason: unrestrained female hypergamy, leading to both social and genetic outcomes associated with violence, lack of education, and poverty.
It is not feminism or cultural marxism that caused female hypergamy. Rather, it was technology (cheap reliable contraception) plus anonymous urban living (no “calling women sluts” by a tight knit social group) and vastly improved female living standards and social freedom (in itself, a net plus) that caused the Whiskey-geddon and Cultural Marxism and feminism as side-effect justifications for the already existing negative outcomes.
NOTHING in life comes without a catch. This is one of them, simple as that. Since it is driven by technology that can’t be outlawed, and permanent deep social changes, we will simply have to live with White working and middle classes acting pretty much like Black Ghetto people, as already has happened in Britain’s White working (and now Middle classes).

Let me add, the Alpha-Beta dichotomy is very, very real. The New York Times had a piece on “the New Math on Campus.” Basically, below the Ivies, the sex ratio is 60-40 Women to men. EVEN with these odds, women don’t adjust:
