He's only 31, his time in the fire is coming. His Facebook posts will sing a different tune when his wife gets tired of him and finds another arrogant hipster lumberjack to give her tingles cuz he's away at work so much and gets half his shit and an adios motherfucker.

Or maybe it will all work out for him...

It's not called the sexual marketplace for no reason.

The answer is blindingly simple. When those things the author mentioned are rewarded, more men will pursue them. When they are taken advantage of, used, and cast aside, more men will avoid them. Just like in any marketplace that retains enough individual freedom for people to take their wares, products, and value where they choose, and not where they don't, people will inevitable choose that which is in their own self-interest. Make things like romance, commitment, marriage, etc in the best interests of men again, and men will flock to them. Obviously that would mean that women have to offer something of value to make it in the man's interest, which these days is deplorable to women, so men choose to spend their value on other things.

For a guy who is allegedly a successful businessman, he doesn't understand market economics very well. If your product is so completely awesome that everyone should have one...but there doesn't seem to be much interest...it's probably not the market that is the problem.

It's your product.

His "product" is marriage. His problem is: it's a shitty product. First, it has at 53% objective failure rate. Of the 47% that are "successes", at least 80%¹ of those suck in some way, from "meh" to medium-sucky, to awful but won't get divorced for some reason. And sure, there is some minority of 'deliriously happy'.

He's trying to sell his product to men by using 'shame' as a marketing too. I suppose that's what he's got, because marriage's selling points - you, as the guy, stand a better than 50-50 shot at being divorced, and will get to have 40% of your pre-tax income scraped away from you so that your ex-wife can fuck other guys, and teach your kids to hate you.

You get screwed² over, pledge lifelong fidelity and at least half of yoru worldly goods....and the other party can freely withdraw from her side of the bargain at any time, without penalty. And you get to pay for it.

Mr. Market has spoken. To me, it's not surprising that fewer men want to marry, it's that any men want to marry.

VZ

¹ I made this up, but if you think that 4 out of 5 marriages are "true love" then you are an optimist, and an optimist is someone who is Not In Possession of All of the Facts.....

² In the 'bad' way.

These people are messing up cause and effect. Men opting out, acting what these imbeciles declare as childish and irresponsible are not the cause but merely symptom. It's the same issue all across Europe, the North Americas and even encompassing some of the East Asian countries such as Japan.

Obviously there's no real interest in fixing the actual problem, as the actual problem tends to be rather beneficial to quite a few people. Thus they simply want to fix others refusing to play a rigged game and keep them from cherry picking the same way they are because ultimatively this makes their scheme unsustainable.

Ever noticed there's no "real woman" comparison around, none where they demand modern women take responsibility, grow up, stop being as egoistic and childish? Try telling them to be less irresponsible, to actually grow up and be mothers, to achieve things on their own rather than through redistribution and the same people you see here will go rabbid.

lol @ fight for romance.

Why on the fucking earth would I want to fight for romance. Romance is giving 100 roses to some dumb shit who wants to pose with them on Instagram to make her friends jealous. Romance is doing some dumb expensive gesture "because she's mad at me, again." Romance is an asymmetrical process where men have to bust their ass, thinking out of the box, to do something original for princess so she can enter it into her bragging competition with her friends.

I am supposed to fight for the opportunity to do this.

When I could be fishing... or sitting on the beach reading a book... or going out to a bar and having fun... or going scuba diving... or riding a motorcycle in the desert...

None of which I have to fight for but are there for me to consume, whenever I want, and none of it gets mad at me if I don't get the secret recipe right.

This whole concept that men should fight to have a relationship and fight to have romance is bullshit.

If 50% of eligible men realized they had the cards, that they were getting more attractive, more powerful, more wealthy between the ages of 20-40 while their women were going downhill then there would be a huge powershift.

Men would not be fighting for any of this shit but the women would be fighting to please a man and make him stay.

vicious_armbar · Tue Apr 12 9:25:30 2016 UTC

When you ask men about what makes a real man, a lot of them will get up on their high horses and start talking about what it means to be a good man.

“A real man would never hit a woman.”

“A man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man.”

“A real man takes responsibility for his actions.”

“A real man pays his debts.”

“Real men love Jesus.”

However, if you ask the same men to list their favorite “guy movies,” many of them will include films like The Godfather, Scarface, Goodfellas, and Fight Club.

Don Corleone, Tommy DeVito, and Henry Hill were all ruthless racketeers. Scarface was a murdering drug lord. Tyler Durden was basically a domestic terrorist. There are scores of popular gang and heist flicks, among them: Oceans 11 (and 12, and 13), Snatch, Smoking Aces, The Italian Job, Heat, Ronin, The Sting, The Usual Suspects, Reservoir Dogs, and Pulp Fiction. The calculating, morally ambiguous hitman for hire has found an especially sympathetic place in the cinematic pantheon of manliness: The Professional, The Matador, In Bruges, The Mechanic, The American, Collateral, Road to Perdition, No Country for Old Men. Hitman was both a film and a video game. Two of the best-selling video game franchises during the last decade were Assassin’s Creed and Grand Theft Auto. Sons of Anarchy, a show about a motorcycle gang, is currently popular on television. Are its characters unmanly because they are outlaws? What about Tony from The Sopranos or Al Swearengen from Deadwood? They are not good men, but they are good at doing the kinds of things that have been demanded of men throughout human history. They are not good men, but they are good at being men.

Consider also the case of the prisoner. Do you truly believe that men who negotiate a violent, all male world every day are less manly than a nice guy who works 9 to 5 in a cubicle farm and spends his free time doing whatever his wife tells him to do?

Unless self-sacrifice and restraint are to be masculinity’s defining qualities—unless masculinity is to be an ascetic discipline and nothing more—there is a point somewhere down a road of diminishing returns that being a good man is no longer a good trade. There’s a point where a man who wants to “feel useful” ends up “feeling used.” When the system no longer offers men what they want, how long can you expect them to perform tricks for a pat on the head? How long until the neglected, starving dog turns on its master? All men and women have emotional and material interests when it comes to how masculinity is constructed or deconstructed. True objectivity on this subject is a more or less successful pose. We all have a horse in the race.It’s dishonest to pretend that men who don’t meet a given set of moral standards are unmanly men. Men may say that immoral men are not real men, but their behavior—including the public admiration for the virility of roguish and criminal types—shows that they don’t quite believe this.

To protect and serve their own interests, the wealthy and privileged have used feminists, preachers, and pacifists to promote a masculinity that has nothing to do with being good at being a man, and everything to do with being what they consider a “good man.” Their version of a good man is isolated from his peers, emotional, effectively impotent, easy to manage, and tactically inept.

A man who is more concerned with being a good man than being good at being a man makes a very well-behaved slave.

The stuff he is saying is so cringe worthy I don't believe he is being serious. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and say this is just a cynical ploy to try to harness the feminine imperative to sell to the segment of the market that stupid stuff like this appeals to. Something akin to how Hollywood big wigs and music industry execs push bluepill movies/music because they know it will sell, even though they run through 20 year olds and lead redpill lives. At worst that would make this guy a sellout, because he is selling out the bros for his own personal gain. However, that is in line with kicking back and enjoying the decline.

EDDbDG · 2016-04-12T07:16:54+00:00

Lmao. This is some pure bullshit and shows exactly how much society is okay with just being a dick to men. Men are the gatekeepers of commitment, and women, sex. Imagine if I made the same post, but instead, I was calling women"little girls" for not giving the men they claim to love or whatever sex.

[deleted] · 2016-04-12T05:06:37+00:00

Feminists- want a "real man" from the 1950s when they need a beta bucks.

Are sure to tell you it's not the 1950s anymore when you question their poor decisions and whoring around

Entropy-7 · 2016-04-12T06:21:30+00:00

He has a few pithy quotes like "Learn by doing rather than learning to do" and "Fear had killed more dreams than failure ever will."

But otherwise, fuck him. If selfishness and lack of commitment is the problem then the problem is women, not men.

2comment · 2016-04-12T08:52:34+00:00

This guy is heavily christian. As many of our Christian TRPers will tell you, many churches are heavily blue pill and so the mainstream christian philosophy. And feminism has been down with old school chivalry from the start since it only benefits them.

Btw, I tried looking this guy up and all I got was a forbes puff piece that told me he has a company called sevenly.... the website looks unimpressive but he has a ton of facebook followers. So I guess the guy is doing something right, selling crap to the masses both physically and verbally.

Fucking A, why should I have to bend to anyone's view of what I should do?

Nobody is owed "me", and if I am one of those "Men so focused on their dreams, their visions, and their desires they find themselves wealthy, known, and alone" than I CHOSE that, and it is MY FUCKING LIFE to chose such a thing.

RichieFinn · 2016-04-12T09:14:21+00:00

Follower of Christ.

Says it all. My religious mother and father "cant wait" until a woman makes me feel "different" and helps me to realize they aren't all bat shit crazy. This after watching the 2 of them argue about some irrelevant crap ALMOST DAILY.

Not gonna happen mother dearest, not gonna happen.

GunsGermsAndSteel · 2016-04-12T12:26:29+00:00

Why is it that every damn time somebody opens their mouth to define what a "real" man is, the defining criteria are ALWAYS centered around how a man interacts with women?

Maybe I want nothing to do with women. That means I can't be a "real" man?

On the flip side of that coin, why doesn't anybody define womanhood by how she treats a man? Does a man not deserve to be taken care of by a woman?

JimFury · 2016-04-12T07:27:54+00:00

I seen this same post this evening on Facebook. I said what a pussy to myself and carried on. It's just easier to ignore it and let retarded people post retarded shit. All the normal people are living their lives not reposting dumb "only a real man" posts.

reinhart_menken · 2016-04-12T07:54:14+00:00

Stopped reading after the first few statements, stupid ball and chain seeking ideals.

Aside from that, save yourself from that exposure by unfollowing your cousin. It's a button you can click on on the top right of each fb post. Unless for some reason you can't, or you're the type that likes to say "I love it when X happens / Y just makes me laugh", and complains about stuff they choose to stay exposed to ;)

timmy2trashed · 2016-04-12T08:41:23+00:00

It was actually refreshing tho to see even some women were calling him out on this bullshit

Why are you wasting your time on Facebook?

[deleted] · 2016-04-12T10:54:29+00:00

The author's sexual strategy is to heavily identify with the feminine. Even his shaming techniques are girly. He wrongly believes this display of faggotry will endear him to women. His expectations are that we are equal and alike and that women will appreciate his sensitivity and understanding.

He is dead wrong. Its the polarity that attracts women. One need not be an asshole, but rugged masculinity is what makes her panties wet. Women are deeply turned off men actively giving away their commitment as he suggests

aanarchist · 2016-04-12T12:46:51+00:00

that woman's way too hot and he's way too much of a pansy for those kids to be his.

[deleted] · 2016-04-12T12:26:12+00:00

It's all about incentives.

You want me to settle down, stop being "childish" and "selfish," maybe give me a good fucking reason to do so. As it stands, getting cheated on, divorced, and losing my kids and half my shit should sound pretty fucking awful to anyone with a functioning brain.

Also pay attention to the shaming tactic used here - it's important that you understand what's going on. Someone is trying to convince you that acting in your best interest is somehow immoral or wrong.

Now you tell me, why would that ever be "wrong?"

Women are a liability and someone is fighting hard to keep you from realizing that.

Virtusvitium · 2016-04-12T13:04:06+00:00

God that Facebook guy sounds like an absolute cuck.

MattyAnon · 2016-04-12T13:04:17+00:00

Everything written can be translated as "female entitlement" (even though written by a guy).

Women are entitled to nothing. Ladies... you want something.... you negotiate for it. You offer A, you get B. Forget the shaming and the insulting us, it stopped working when you jumped the shark and started demanding simultaneous equality and inequality that always worked out in your favour.

This whole "men should man up / grow up" thing is pathetic - it always translates as "men should voluntarily do what women want them to do, and at their own expense, and in exchange for nothing".

lol, he's doing the bluepill king.

one day in the not so distant future, his business will peak and sells will start going bad, he will then find her wife with some other man's cock in her mouth, and soon later she will divorce-rape him and take his kids and money.

then we will read his post here in trp.

RegdarKhrast · 2016-04-12T10:48:36+00:00

I don't know when this man decided that it's somehow wrong to be a little selfish and put yourself first so you can actually accomplish at least some of your goals and enjoy spending time with your pals but he clearly needs to turn in his man card and his individual card. He also clearly never got the memo of how skewed people in general can be towards women. After all, if a woman accuses a man of rape then he's automatically guilty until proven innocent and even if found innocent that shit follows you for the rest of your life as if you were actually guilty. He needs to take a long, hard look at the problems that cause us men to not even want to engage in anything in anything more than a one night stand instead of being a willfully ignorant moron.

Donald_for_16 · 2016-04-12T12:04:34+00:00

Simple really. Women give sex to some men who do nothing and refuse sex with other men regardless of what they do. Why should either man try to do anything for a woman that he wouldn't do for a guy friend (which does not include marriage or parenting). I'll hang out with a fun woman as much as a fun guy, but there is no reason for romance at all. Either you don't need it or it won't help you anyways.

[deleted] · 2016-04-12T12:22:55+00:00

This sort of rhetoric is common in evangelical circles. Basically, this guy is trying to establish himself as the biggest swinging johnson in his set of Christianity.

Guys don't like going to church for exactly this reason. It's a weird mix of blue pill inundation (from being 70% women) and RP alpha posturing (from the handful of younger men in the church; the older guys dgaf and most are horrified at what young women have become but can't say anything about it for fear of being scolded.)

Dale just told you he's a real man with a real life and a real faith. He has no recognition or empathy for what the modern world is like for men (or what it's doing to women). He would freak out if any guy showed up at his church who posed a challenge to his authority.

DforDeadpool · 2016-04-12T13:12:51+00:00

That's why I tell people to delete their Facebook accounts.

NiceKicksGabe · 2016-04-12T13:13:16+00:00

I'm actually considering writing a book that panders to this blue pill nonsense. Seems like a good/viable business venture.

[deleted] · 2016-04-12T13:28:18+00:00

After reading a portion of your post I wondered if he was an evangelical christian. Back when I used to be I would hear these same talking points over and over. He's just regurgitating the same stuff you hear from Mark Driscoll and all those other blue pill nut pastors out there.

redpillbanana · 2016-04-12T13:32:41+00:00

One of the most basic laws of economics is that people respond to incentives.

Men are simply responding to the incentives of the modern sexual marketplace where there aren't many women worthy of marriage. Porn and video games have gotten pretty damn good, too.

graffix13 · 2016-04-12T13:57:19+00:00

Men so focused on their dreams, their visions, and their desires they find themselves wealthy, known, and alone.

Uhh what's wrong with this? This is my goal now. Does this make me less of a man?

Hydris · 2016-04-12T14:26:11+00:00

I actually seen this and was close to commenting on how stupid it all was, until I just decided the energy is not worth it, as no one sharing this drivel was going to bother to think critically let alone not take it as some personal attack on themselves. Would have ended in drama for me with no benefit.

What i find most interesting is this line

"call it Peter Pan Syndrome. I call it immaturity and selfishness. Men so focused on their dreams, their visions, and their desires they find themselves wealthy, known, and alone."

Men are selfish for bettering themselves and not taking care of and giving women everything they want. Yet women aren't even though they want men to give up everything to take care of them.

RedxDevil · 2016-04-12T15:14:34+00:00

Although this was removed I'll finish my comment anyway.

This is so obviously pandering to women like your cousin--Notice the total lack of accountability to the female side of the "people are getting married and having kids later in life" in addition to the divorce equation.

It's insulting that if a guy that age is single, it's only for Peter Pan aspirations, and not because he made the choice to end it with previous suitors for whatever the fuck reason he wanted to. A man making that choice for himself is apparently looked down upon, but a female who made those same choices for her own happiness is encouraged to do so-- Strong and Independent ^{^{^TM}} .

It's also insulting to the guys of decent value, looks, what have you who have made legitimate efforts to fulfill that BP Disney fantasy relationship with a girl he's thoroughly attracted to, only to find that women can be just as "relationship phobic" as men can be, that attractive women of that age are just as (if not more likely) to walk away from those opportunities as men are. Guys who have experienced the "light switch effect" (covered in a previous TRP post) one too many times.

Or better yet, guys who got married like he did, had a couple kids, then she got bored, cheated and then divorced.

Sure, there are plenty of guys out there who his rant applies to, but as per most SJW literature, none of the above is considered a reasonable possibility.
