Taken from here.

Women need to tell if you are a desirable prospect. They can either go through the effort of determining that themselves, or they can use preselection. The normal economy version of preselection is being reputable. You are going to be more likely to make a purchase at a reputable seller over a seller just starting out, and you will attract more buyers if you are a reputable seller. In the normal economy, loans also happen. Credit ratings are used to track the reputation of those to take loans, or in other words, buyers of money. Lenders make loans to lendees at a price, who will then either pay back the loan, or default. We call the price of the loan the interest rate, which is really just the price of money.

How does this apply to the sexual economy? Well, TRP has already explained preselection on the female side, and WAATGM talks about it on our side too, but it is never called by this name.

TRP says that being with lots of women tells women that you are of high value, which is entirely correct. This is analogous to being a reputable business in the normal economy. This is the less insightful half of preselection, and I don't have much more to say about it, so I will move on to the other half.

On WAATGM, there is the common theme of near or post wall sluts seeking commitment. Men value different things (fertility and loyalty), so the fact that these women have been with lots of men does not convey that they are reputable. It is much closer to having defaulted on loans in the past and having a bad credit rating. Men and women are on opposite sides of the sexual market, just like lenders and lendees. The lender needs to make sure the lendee will make good on the loan, so the lender uses markers like credit history to make an informed decision. Just like how men use markers such as tattoos, prior history (the past), and age to determine if the woman is a good mating prospect. Note that a woman's prior history and age cannot be undone or rolled back, which is why feminists and post-wall women try to shame men into not considering these factors. There is nothing else for them to do.

To address the Where Are All The Good Men phenomenon explicitly, because Rule 3 tells me to: They ask WAATGM because their markers tell any man of value not to deal with them for anything more than a casual fling. These markers can never be undone, and women with them are irredemably lost, so they will never be able to find a man of value to commit. Before they showed signs of a loss of trust, men were plentiful, after, nobody is willing to come near them.
