"The basic difference between men and women is that as we get older, our erotic capital wanes. Men’s erotic capital – providing they achieve power and success – only grows."

Hakim is definitely an anti-feminist but she's no ally to men. In this book she's rehashing things that are old hat to Men's Rights and Evolutionary Biology/Psychology/HBD circles, but she does so with a call for women to exploit and manipulate men to "even the economic playing field" rather than simply telling women to, say, work as many hours as men do if they're really serious about competing with men.

If you haven't read Esther Vilar's "The Manipulated Man," you really should. A frightening look into the mindset of women like Hakim.

Found this in the comments. Much more thought-provoking than this prostitute-mentality article.

The west sells out its manufacturing to China for greed, not to bright.

The west then ships China its technology (for free) to manufacture the products, not to bright.

And now, while China hunts down and trains its best and brightest citizens to lead, the west seeks out the well connected and erotic.

Most smart people don’t care what a person looks like and who they know, they care about what they can do and have to offer.

A History lesson for those who don't learn from the past

"The basic difference between men and women is that as we get older, our erotic capital wanes. Men’s erotic capital – providing they achieve power and success – only grows."

Read between the lines: the woman who said this defines herself and her value by her erotic capital. Which is why she is so terrified of losing her looks, and so jealous of men who can attract a mate after 40.

To which I reply: what happened to family? What happened to self-respect? What happened to community? When did your female world devolve into a singular hole between your legs?

Life has more to offer... to those who seek it.

Attractiveness is only empowerment for women because men are too weak in our culture. In a culture with well-balanced men, a woman's attractiveness would have no impact on her ability to rise in the working world. Rather, her work ethic and her mind would hold sway.

When I see an attractive woman, my thoughts are "Ok, you're hot. So what. What else you got?"

Men’s erotic capital –providing they achieve power and success –only grows.

If you want to call that erotic capital...

I disagree that power and success are requisites. A middle aged man of humble means has more sexual capital than he did 15 years prior, unless hes become a total slob. If he maintains himself physically, his sexual capital increases simply by aging. You know what middle aged women say about women being like wine? Well this is actually true of men.
