Been doing the online dating thing a bit and by the small sample of women I've met, and the larger one of 32-40yo's who randomly message me, as a demographic I'm thinking 28-35yr old women are shit out of luck.

If you are a guy who has been on the RP path for a year or more you are at least fit if not jacked, you are no longer a bitch, and even if you are penniless you have better options than a guy who makes bank but can't figure out why he hates himself.

From this vantage point, it looks like 3rd wave feminists have painted women into a corner.

Given that women don't date down, and very few men (and even fewer straight ones) date up, let's start with the ones with professional careers. Managers make up less than %15 of the workforce (~1 for every 6+ workers), which means that each level of management she achieves, the smaller her eligible dating pool.

If she has a uni degree, or an advanced degree, her options further narrow to the pool of less than %50 of guys who graduate those programs. As in less than half of all graduates are male.

For her strong independent job, she ends up in a big institution that is on a hiring spree for women, which means she is either working in the public sector, or some giant corporation that depends on reedy manginas to serve as administrators. These are men who do jobs so devoid of masculine virtues (e.g. Donovan's courage, strength, honor, mastery) that a woman can do them just as easily.

The Lean In crowd's whole premise is basically that men should become he-wives for their breadwinning women, which they neglect to mention makes men sexually repulsive - and this destroys homes and families. It is also laughable, but like that ever stopped anyone.

When men are not protagonists, we are either loser anti-heroes, or antagonists. In a society that does not value masculinity, or worse, tries to debase it through re-definition, there can be no "good men."

So who cares? Let's face facts. A man of any age in any decent sized city can fuck a 20yr old pro for less than the price of the two bottles of wine he might buy on a dinner date with some aging tinderella. I looked up the prices and I've spent more on cigars. Call me old fashioned but a woman needs to offer more than a hooker to warrant a second date. If the best you can offer is that at least you haven't been trafficked, it may be worth considering leveling up.

It's not clear what these women bring to the table. I meet them all the time. They are either overweight relative to their pictures or look like abused greyhounds, interview me like I'm applying for a minimum-wage job, treat charm as suspicious, think complaining about how horny they are is flirting, have exceptionally stupid tattoos and speak in hashtags, yet somehow they are baffled - fucking mystified - by why they are single.

Protip: IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE AWFUL.

They don't know any better either. Just like BP guys, they are floating around in a bubble of shit. If I could tell them one thing it would be, "develop a useful hobby, learn to please someone other than your cats, become good company, do a sport for pleasure instead of chick-abs, victimhood is just blackmail, and that trying to become the man you want to date is not a viable strategy."

I know TRP is all about enjoying the decline, but after a while, a train wreck is just another train wreck. Maybe it was just a moment of weakness but for a moment I felt some sympathy for them. Or at least the hot ones, anyway.
