I couldn't care less about a woman's career or credentials. It has no bearing on my attraction to her whatsoever; actually, if anything it tends to work against them because they take on competitive traits that resemble masculinity.

Their hobbies and creative pursuits can be intriguing, though, as that's what makes life interesting. (Note: Going to bars/clubs does not count.)

[–]Ragnar092 points3 points4 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Exactly Feminists can try and try to make men want "successful" women but we could care less.

For what it's worth, the more pleasant, successful ones tend not to believe in "game" and fall for it more easily.

[–]mechakingghidorah1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Exactly, I'd love to bone a woman who can play piano extremely well. Hearing a girl brag about being an athlete however is a turnoff to me as sports are inherently masculine.

[–]GermanDude0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

The question is not if you don't care but if you will encounter it! What is your plan? Serious question. A rising percentage of Americans (or citizens worldwide) are obtaining a Bachelor's degree or more, so how do you plan to react on this, if she also turns out to be a hottie with intruiging hobbies?

[–]TRP VanguardVZPurp2 points3 points4 points 13 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I've been a published scientist since my early twenties and I can pick up new skills and trades easily (I regularly do - for the challenge, the knowledge, and additional money). I've built my own lab equipment too so if there's an idea that catches me and I want to test a hypothesis I came up with while in the shower, I go for it.

So, in short, I don't really have to worry about females outdoing me intellectually or financially. The only ones doing that will be in really high power positions and whatnot, so I'm not really worried - they'd be too busy with their careers at that point. Hypergamy won't be my problem in this respect, that's for sure.

So perhaps my attitude toward female bread-winners is so relaxed because it's never going to be a factor in my personal life.

[–]GermanDude0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Thanks for your answer, are you "Rollo Tomassi" or is that just your answer on my questions?

But - without wanting to sound jealous (because I hate to be like that) - don't you think you're just stating facts in your comment? (Esp. facts that don't apply to the majority of men?) You're in a position that probably many men want to be, regardless of the whole womenz question. There's nothing wrong about that, because I am also convinced about that there will always be a disparity in skills and income between people. :) What I'd like to hear though is (more): Which "nuggets of wisdom" or personal opinion - that you were lucky to realize due to your interaction with women - would you share with other men here in /r/TheRedPill ?

Everyone has different life experiences and I am convinced that even though you might not have a problem with hypergamy that you'll still be able to share some tips with those who definitely need them. :)

[–]TRP VanguardVZPurp0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No, I'm VZ. You're right. Everyone has different experiences. What I said was I won't experience hypergamy due to intellect, and unlikely due to income. There are many other possible routes hypergamy will take, though, that'll eventually cause a partner to leave me.

I suggest plate spinning. No reason to invest all your time in one girl.

[–]Nutz76[S] 2 points3 points4 points 13 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

On the feminine side we have the cruel reality of feminine Hypergamy that’s constantly reminded that the man she’s paired with (or would pair with) isn’t capable of, or is less capable of, the provisioning her Hypergamy ultimately demands of him, and which she can provide for herself. For the single professional woman this imbalance results in their constant search for a man they consider “her equal”, and is the cause for many post-Wall women’s common lament of not being able to find the guy she thinks she deserves.

By this distorted logic, professional women subscribe to the social convention that they can ‘buy Alpha’; that their credentials, financial and social status ought to be the deciding factor for men’s intimate estimations of them, and any man not abiding by these conditions is by definition “infantile”, has a “fragile ego” and is “threatened by successful women”.

It's my belief that one of the principle reasons feminists believe women should have careers comes down to projection. They area attracted to men of high status (eg high income), so they attempt to emulate this attractive quality in hopes men will find them as attractive as they do of wealthy men. This would seem especially important for less attractive women, which may explain my observation that virtually all hardliner feminists are not very pretty. High-T perhaps?

[–]veggie_girl5 points6 points7 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I have several high-status female friends (high-paying job, nice car, nice condo/house). Most of them have slept with guys from their work in a similar position to them. Only one of them is married, and the husband is one of those Realtor that sells multi-million dollar homes and travels all over the world. Women don't like to fuck/marry down - it's horizontal or up.

[–]TRP VanguardVZPurp1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Maybe they're trying to sabotage other women by giving them bad advice.

[–]veggie_girl2 points3 points4 points 13 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

This is the same reasoning betas use to justify their actions.

"I like women that are like this, so I'm going to act like it."

[–]GermanDude0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

So you agree with Nutz76's train of thought? Your other comment on his observations somewhat contradicts this comment, no?

[–]veggie_girl0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yes, it doesn't contradict.

Some women see qualities they like in men so they try to emulate those in hopes to find happiness.

projection

what if they just want money? so they can buy expensive louboutin shoes and balenciaga purses

[–]GermanDude0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

What the f*** is the point of this over-length article? I frankly don't even know why he discusses the female side of things - but then again I'm no blogger. For example how is there anything such as

Hypergamic shit-tests

? A shit-test must be context-dependent or have an open outcome. It doesn't take a shit-test for HER to figure out that his pay sucks.

So I hope I do at least get it right that the author suggests that due to

his Beta-Game sexual strategy

the real man ("alpha") is going to be saved from the hypergamy ambitions of his wifey by applying "alpha-game (sex strategy)"? I would much more like that the author would go into depth here, instead of delving on the obvious! (That Alpha > Beta) Because "you can't buy wifey" is also true, else there wouldn't be a lot of rich, old, single fucks out there!

The majority of elite earning women simply lack the feminine grace and physical appeal to attract this Alpha dominance.

This is also BS, because it equals a man that has "alphatude" with a man that has no incentive to pursue an "elite-earning" women, i. e. again assuming that all rich women are ugly as fuck. I'm not sure, but a lot of wealthy women I know are wealthy due to their family. As such they are still beautiful, often young - and happen to outearn many men by default. I don't consider this to be something special, because remember, we are merely talking about outearning here! It's not about the absolute $-value, but about the relative difference that makes hypergamy attractive! Alas, there are indeed plenty of women outearning men - from the perspective of the individual man (that is affected by all this).

Conclusion: This article might be entertaining and even a bit informative, but what I'm lacking in all this bla-bla is actual advice or valuable insight that is applicable for men, esp. those that are at risk of being out-earned or at least aren't millionaires.
