We're brought up to believe that females are the prey. They are, according to the false ideas we're force-fed, the "fairer sex."

Look, females are archetypal predators who are raised to take. Whether it is money, validation, favors, sex, emotional top-ups... their prime reason for engaging with men is for gain. Of course, you guys already know this. At least, some of you do.

For the past year, I fuck when I want and make it clear to any female that there is going to be no emotions involved. Naturally, that triggers the "game" that they want to play. Her ambition then is to use their looks, intelligence - sometimes even money or social status - to win the game before dropping you from a great height.

The last few "dates" I had - and I use that term with the tongue-in-cheek ridiculousness that it deserves - involved a few follow-ups. This was the end of last year.

I figured out that women are compulsively attracted to cold, emotionless men. I wasn't putting on an act here, but just completely removed from the "emotional-interactive" zone.

The few girls I had dated pretty much gave up and walked away/orchestrated a pullback once they knew that they couldn't "read me."

It's all a stupid game and you'll never win. Focus on yourself and build.

I have literally NEVER had more money, freedom, peace of mind and happiness. The fucked up thing is that I am more content now, and two of my friends passed away suddenly over the past few months. I miss the dudes like fuck, but I can only imagine the kicking-when-down shit that any woman would be doing to me right now, just because I came across as slightly weakened/sad/vulnerable.

Apologies for the essay, brothers. Keep on keeping on.
