so I'm reading the manipulated man by esther vilar. it was written in 1973 but oh boy was this book ahead of its time. people like to call roosh v a women hater or other red pill men but if you read the manipulated man you would think this women 10000 times more was a women hater. she holds nothing back on the topic of women's true nature. this book should be a mandatory read for redpillers or any guy just trying to better themselves. this book goes great with the rational male series because I think this book compliments it.

now in the book she says women basically don't try to dress well for you, they do it to look better and turn the heads of women. So when you see that girl wearing a mini skirt outside, or those tight yoga pants showing off her ass, it's not to get the attention of men but women. basically it's like a competition. they want women to approve of them. And you trying to dress well for trying to get her attention, to get her to notice you etc doesn't work because she doesn't care. here's a passage from the book. btw what are your thoughts on this ?

"Whatever men set about to impress women with, counts for nothing in the world of women. Only another woman is of importance in her world. Of course, a woman will always be pleased if a man turns to look at her - and if he is well dressed or drives an expensive sports car, so much the better. Her pleasure may be compared to that of a shareholder who finds that his stocks have risen. It will be a matter of complete indifference to a woman if he is attractive or looks intelligent. A shareholder is hardly likely to notice the color of his dividend checks. But if another woman should turn to look - a rare occurrence, for her own judgment is infinitely more remorseless than that of a man - her day is made. She has achieved the impossible - the recognition, admiration, and `love' of other women. Yes, only women exist in a woman's world. The women she meets at church, at parent-teacher meetings, or in the supermarket; the women with whom she chats over the garden fence; the women at parties or window-shopping in the more fashionable streets; those she apparently never seems to notice - these women are the measure of her success or failure. Women's standards correspond to those in other women's heads, not to those in the heads of men; it is their judgment that really counts, not that of men. A simple word of praise from another woman - and all those clumsy, inadequate male compliments fall by the wayside, for they are just praises out of the mouths of amateurs. Men really have no idea in what kind of world women live in; their hymns of praise miss all the vital points. In fact, when a woman dresses, she considers a man to a slight extent - the extent necessary to hold him and to encourage him to provide (in the widest sense) for her. Every other investment is aimed at other women. Man has importance only as the provider."
