In my professional world, we often help clients by designing interactive programs which seamlessly integrate with their overall corporate messaging. Taking a “one voice” approach to all their marketing efforts takes time and money, but in the end, the cohesiveness of their external communication builds familiarity and brand awareness among the target clientele.
Often the most difficult part of this process is coming up with what we call an “elevator speech”. The theory here is to come up with a terse yet educational response to a potential client when he asks “So, what do you do?” and you only have 90 seconds between a few floors to make your pitch. Conveying the scope and purpose of a company including end user benefits in a memorable way in less than 90 seconds can be a daunting task.
The situation is similar in the Manosphere. All too often I find myself talking with a friend or coworker out on a show site somewhere about their interaction with women, and it’s hard to give them advice or convey the lessons I’ve learned without needing a formal hour long presentation. How do you explain female hypergamy, the rationalization hamster, and a host of other concepts during casual conversation with some guy who just wants to lament about his wife or girlfriend?
Those of us who write and read these blogs are no smarter than the average man. The only thing that gives us a leg up in the dating and marriage arena is the fact that we take what most men intrinsically know and give it proper terminology. We then use that terminology to define a situation and react accordingly using proven strategies. I guess what I’m getting at is that while most men are busy ranting A, B, C, D, E, F, G… we quickly assess the situation, call it the alphabet, and keep on moving.
It pains me to sit and listen to an otherwise educated a man say “It’s like, I don’t know, man. I mean, sometimes I just think that… well, I want to say something, but I’m not sure what she’s thinking, so… I… I don’t know, man. I can’t figure her out.” I do my best to help by listening and giving targeted advice, but often I simply don’t have the time to help a man understand and accept what he already knows. I can’t simply look at a friend or coworker and say “Her clock is ticking and you’re a willing Beta, but her hypergamous nature is causing her to struggle between settling for you and taking one last ride on the Alpha cock carousel. Her rationalization hamster will allow her to do both without guilt, and when she’s done she’ll undoubtedly blame you for putting her in a position to have to choose in the first place. In the end, you’ll be showered with shaming language if you refuse to accept responsibility for her actions.”
We need an elevator speech. A quick summation of basic points to get these guys started down the road to enlightenment. Something to pique their interest and get them interested in researching ways to improve their married or dating lives.
Although it would be impossible to condense everything a man needs to know in to one 90 second sound bite, we need to start somewhere. I’ve been wondering what I would say to an 18 year old Solomon II if I had the chance to go back in time and speak with him for only 90 seconds. Of course, I’m sure 18 year old S2 would tell me to go fuck myself, but for the purpose of illustration, let’s assume the little asshole would listen. I think the one 90 second elevator speech that would have helped me the most is:
“There are no good women, and there are no bad women. There are just women. Women do what they want when they want and justify their actions later. That’s why it’s important to find a woman of character who is naturally inclined to do the things which are wholesome, respectful, productive, and conducive to rearing the offspring produced by your potential union.
A woman’s character is of utmost importance. A woman’s past actions matter. In fact, her past matters more than anything else because it reveals the character she developed during her impressionable years. A woman may change what she does, but she can’t change who she is or repair her reputation. Like hot or cold water eventually comes back to room temperature when no external forces are present, so a woman returns to her base character level when no external forces are present. If you choose to be a woman’s external force in order to exact a temperature change within her, don’t be surprised when she reverts to her room temperature character the moment you’re not around.
What defines a woman of good character varies from man to man. Know which character traits are important to you. Study to learn the signs of these traits, and study harder to learn how manipulative women mimic these traits when they are not in possession of them. Judge harshly and without apology. Recognize flaws within yourself and actively work to right them, but never let a woman convince you to consider your own personal flaws as a valid reason to overlook hers.
Recognize, protect, and celebrate a woman of good character, for she is exceedingly rare. Recognize, expose, and shame a woman of low character for she is a parasite driven by consumption and will kill her host. Above all, know that a woman of character and a woman of risible morals are often indistinguishable at first glance. Only the erudite man committed to attaining the knowledge and skills to determine one from the other stands a chance of reaching his full potential.”
At least a few of the major topics are covered: Virgin/Whore Syndrome and the Rationalization Hamster in paragraph 1, Double Standards and White Knighting in paragraph 2, Shaming Language in paragraph 3, and Snowflaking in paragraph 4.
Whether or not this is an acceptable elevator speech is debatable, but at least it’s a start. It’s not too offensive, and outside of the workplace, it shouldn’t set off too many alarms with the PC police. You can even express this viewpoint around women since the majority of them would undoubtedly agree – what with each and every single one of them being perfect and blameless women of impeccable character.
Simple bitches.
