"He needs to be careful."

I've got this friend. Michael. Software engineer. Just got this new job, working remotely out of Canada for a respectable company in Silicon Valley. 120K a year. He's 22, borderline genius, 6'2, natural alpha, lifts, a real exception to the rule.

Anyways, Ana and I were having tea on her couch cuddling, chatting about the week and my buddies new job and apartment. 11pm.

My LTR is pretty openly expressive about her feminine instincts. She's asian, fairly traditional, and knows her role in a relationship. She knows what she wants and likes, and is honest about it. It's not rare to hear Red Pill tidbits of truth coming from her.

Last night was a bit different.

We were chatting about the week. I was telling Ana how much Michael makes. How I was proud of him for coming so far (we grew up together), and that he's saved 50K this past year.

She asks if he's seeing anyone. I say no.

She says oh. I say why?

She says he needs to be careful. I say why.

She says you have no idea about women. You have no clue what they'll do to lock down a man like him.

I say what do you mean?

She says she'll make him fall in love with her. A woman will do anything. Trust me. I know girls. She sips her tea.

I kind of egg her on here, she's still talking, on a rant and is really into it.

I say ya; but women fall in love with a man don't they? Like for his nice personality and his caringness.

She says kinda. But no. She says women want a man with his shit together. They want the best, the best they can get. And they'll do anything to get it. And once they have it, they'll hold on to it.

I say, til something better comes along?

She says no. Not always. Some girls are never happy. She hugs me and says in her baby voice "but not me boo. I'm happy with you."

I kiss her on the cheek, feeling great that she passed my comfort test!! Haha.

She tries to change the subject lightly.

I go back and I say yeah but what about true love?

She says sure, it exists. But do you know how rare it is to find a man like him? True love will happen to any woman with the right man. Whatever you do, tell him to hide his wealth and find a girl who doesn't see any of that before she decides she wants to be with him.

I say yeah, will do. Conversation segways into some business she's thinking of starting, then bed.

Not sure what was in the tea tonight. Hypergamy herbal or some evolutionary blend. Buying that one again.

Lessons learned: Most of you in LTR's will understand this kind of talk to an extent. If you let her blab, she'll say some crazy ass shit. Start to ask some leading questions to your woman when she's feeling chatty and honest. Some women are well aware of their hypergamous nature. They don't know what to call it - or terminology for it. And it kind of makes them uncomfortable when they feel like they've "shared too much". But the women in their 20's have seen enough men to know what they want. They're clear on it. And sometimes they'll let you in on the secret.

Grateful that The Red Pill exists so I can interpret this. Two years ago I wouldn't have batted an eye in this conversation. Thank you founding members, contributors, and everyone else keeping this community alive and evolving.
