“Be attractive” means as many as possible of tall, well-complexioned, facially well-favored, not bald or fat, and visibly/knowably of some form of high status. Fundamentals and at least in the short term immutable. All of these things you list in “be attractive” are additional things in the bucket of “don’t be unattractive.”

Almost anything is a good alternative to pursuing IG baddie types in Miami. I’m not looking to “date” any of them and it’s still exhausting to interact with them for 30 seconds. For whatever reason the cafes by both where I usually stay down there and our Miami office seem to attract them, and they somehow manage to be even more obnoxious at 10 am getting tea or matcha in their version of civilian attire (yoga pants, $200 sweatshirts etc.).

Outcome indifference is not "not caring." At a micro level in first encounters with women, it is about recognizing that women find a man who isn't pursuing them to be (all else equal) more attractive than one who is. At a macro level, it is about caring about the big picture, and recognizing it is an aggregation of only slightly non-random individual events about which you can't feel especially strongly. A little better than one hit per four at-bats and you can play in the Major Leagues a little…

Own capital. This can be money, business equity, organizational control, notoriety or influence … but own it. Men without capital are servants and servants are never truly respected. Surround yourself with better men, and welcome competition and sincere criticism. (This is in a sense the flip side of the coin of owning capital - men without capital have to be paranoid.) Don’t react to - and ideally don’t even notice - “disrespect.” Real stature can’t be negated. Men of high stature aren’t even a…

I am happily partnered with a woman close to my age, but if circumstances were to change … why not? For every dating hazard that age mitigates, there’s another it exacerbates.

And yet, men who commit successfully have it far better than those who never commit. You can raise the odds of success, but never can come close to assuring it. Moral of the story - life is dangerous and unfair.

Yup. Mostly. If the nature of the text is such that you're being a jerk not to reply to it right away ("hey, I just got to the place, where are you?") then reply to it right away. Nope. Very unattractive. Show INDIFFERENCE when you have a reason to check her. Nope again. Compliments and validation when deserved ought to be given. Don't kiss ass, but not telling your date she looks nice when she shows up wearing something nice is just being an asshole. Not attractive to real women of quality. Nop…

TRP gets this wrong. Supplication (paying for expensive dates with a woman who hasn't slept with you and forsaken all others) is unattractive, but so is being stingy or ARGUING about who is supposed to pay for dates. The solution is CHEAP dates, that you can pay for while retaining outcome independence or she can pick up the checks for if she feels like it.

The kind of hot 15-year-olds who pick a 20-year old loser for their first boyfriend, and not the the 17-year old quarterback whose dad is the richest guy in town ... will have two salient characterists. The first is that they have terrible judgment. The second is that between the carbs, the booze and the cigs; and their sisters and cousins and friends all getting married, they hit the Wall about 20. Getting knocked up at 19 probably seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Love this. A poor guy animated by most any* purpose and achieving it in spades SO outdoes the SMV of someone who is solely well-off (a dentist, say).

I know many men who are married to known, admitted or probable former sluts. Every one of those marriages is a noisy, or a quiet-desperation, shit show. Wives withhold sex, harshly sarcastic and critical (you can only imagine in private), hugely irresponsible with money or kids, deliberately make themselves ugly or androgynous or allow themselves to get fat. A slut can never truly appreciate a long-term partner. Her brain is wired to seek the masochistic thrill of new sexual submission, or the a…

This is right and wrong. It is right to an extent because EARLY in a relationship ANY behavior which reads as supplicating is HUGELY beta and unattractive. Spending a lot of money on someone you just met = agreeing with every opinion she express = complimenting her excessively = letting her drone on about boring shit = letting her set the agenda for dates. At the same time, it is ALWAYS attractive to be successful (and rich is a dimension) and always SUPER unattractive to be intentionally cheap.…

I'm not at all about wifing up hos ... but I think you don't have a handle on women and how their looks trend. A top-tier sorority girl is DEDICATED to looking good, being popular and having high status. It is not something she does for men in general or any man in particular. She does it for herself, and her competitive universe is other women. And those qualities stick with her. A top-tier sorority girl no matter how trampy she was at 20 is a 95% sure bet to look GREAT at 30 and a 90% sure bet…

I'll say one under-appreciated thing about being quietly rich (or visibly on your way to quiet wealth). It attracts the BEST kind of women. Gold-diggers are diverted to the flashy d-bags. But smart, sane, future-oriented good-looking women who want to have the option to be stay-at-home moms in the magic circle suburbs, vacation first class and five star, and retire in comfort in Florida? Boy does that work.

Get off Tinder/OKC (where women fantasize about what they want) and go into the real world where "tall" means "taller than me" and the average woman is 5'4" and very few are taller than 5'7". PLENTY of 5'8" and 5'9" guys doing very well. The women that 6'1" guys attract are basically indistinguishable from those that 5'10" guys attract. It is a challenge to be under 5'8", and it does give you a bit of edge to be 6'2" or 6'3". Balding? Go clean or go stubble. No fringe, no comb-over.

It's pretty darn rare for a post-LJBF girl to hook you up with her (attractive) friends. She's far more likely to poison the water with her friends, even if not maliciously. Women are HUGELY reliant on pre-selection, and your LJBF's friends meet you pre-DE-selected. (Your combining classic LJFB with exes is not helpful. There is all the difference in the world between the two.)

Looks are pretty easy. You solve for 95% of women if you are 5'8" or taller, wear 30"-32" waist trousers (34" if 5'10" or taller) and don't have a facial deformity. It's about achievements and attitude after that.

This is off base. Alpha isn't a factor of BMI or bench press. It's about being, or for for purposes of women, seeming, like a leader of men.

New York is not a bad place to date white women ... it's the greatest place to date ANY kind of woman.

You don't understand Alpha. Alpha is status -- including but not limited to looks. It is situational. The same exact guy will be a magnetic alpha in one room and a zero in another because the women in the second room don't know who he is or have a different status ladder. An ugly guy CANNOT be "alpha" unless he has other status to compensate.

The notion that "model good looks seeks its own kind" is pretty wrong. For your typical 10 women, at least half recognize and use their beauty as currency, and recognize that the efficient frontier will always like with a less-good-looking but even-higher-status man.

Thugs get dumped for betas all the time. A woman gets close to the Wall, has a couple of kids becoming expensive and no longer comes when he fucks her drunk for 90 seconds -- all of a sudden a nice guy with a regular paycheck starts to look good.

I find this line of thinking rather beta. Who cares how much a woman is turned on by you? Women's sexual tastes are irrational and unaccountable and men should be focused on about 500 more important things. Moreover a man should enjoy dominating his woman thoroughly -- the best sex most men will ever have is when she's immobilized with her legs over his shoulders and she's being pounded deep.

For the nth time: a properly done prenup with terms proper to your state will be enforced.

A 27-30 year-old good-looking no-sex-until-marriage virgin is a very, very bad idea. It means she is so nuts or so bitchy no past guy who were courted / dated her would propose or honor an engagement, it means she is INSANELY picky in a way that any marriage would be a disaster, or it means she has ZERO sex drive and that ain't gonna change.

As /u/idontcareifyoubury me suggests, the rules have changed. First time casual sex with a girl who has been drinking heavily gives her the option to call you a rapist. And if it is sex you intend to be casual and she thinks means you're now her devoted boyfriend ... you're getting into suicidal behavior.

Many 9s and 10s, because of easy how life has been for them, are actually generous, open-minded, honest and trustworthy. And far from demanding great sacrifices from men, because they have an abundance mentality that no man can really imagine, they don't really need to demand anything at all if particular from any particular man. And while anything in life can have a price that's too high to pay, the experience of having a 9 or a 10 is something that nothing else in life can imitate.

Of course. As I said, any calorie deficit yields weight loss. But it's pretty much only carbs that cause weight GAIN. A diet should be the induction phase of your maintenance program. And that program MUST be low(er) carb or you will gain all the weight right back.

Cut your carbs. Sure, you can do other things to lose weight. ANY calorie restricted diet, up to and including 3 snickers and 2 beers a day, works to lose weight. But the ONLY thing that made you fat, and will make you fat again, is carbs. Rounds down to zero % of people gain weight because of fat or protein. A cab cutting diet is a diet that is getting you ready to maintain your weight loss, and that's the hard part.

Old money doesn't need pre-nups. Family assets are held in trusts that spouses of heirs cannot touch.

I've known a few transgender guys. It's a horrible mental illness, and allowing them to pretend, up to a point, that they're chicks really does seem to allow them to live much better lives. Kind of churlish not to play along. The transracial thing is just fraud. Who among us hasn't entertained the fantasy that we were rich WASPs or champion athletes or combat heroes or cool black dudes / chicks? These people don't actually think that's who they are, they've just chosen to deceive.

You want a woman with a high opinion of herself and a lot of expectations for a man -- and that characterizes women with strong relationships with their fathers, for sure. Just don't fall into the trap of thinking that blue pill behavior is how you validate her high opinion of herself or satisfy those expectations.

Being good looking is a sign of competence among women. The value society places on looks is so high that, at a certain level, a woman has to be content with underachieving if she's ugly. Dieting is free. Plastic surgery is cheap.

I am skeptical of this. In my experience, a man's hobbies of are of very little interest to women unless they express status in a rather direct way. Combat sports? You bet. Golfing, sailing, riding, tennis? If she knows the kind of men who pursue those sports, ditto. Wine connoisseur or art collector -- will leave her curious but still undecided: these are hobbies of the effete as often as as of the alpha. Music, comedy, running, soccer, biking, etc. -- all going to leave her eyes glazed.

"Make an ugly woman your wife / GF / plate" has got to be the worst recurring advice. Ugly women are desperate for external validation. Those who used to be ugly are psychotic for it. Cheating is a systemic weakness as a result. Beautiful women who have always been so often (but not in all cases) DGAF about other people's opinions because they've always know they're hot. That's why betas compliment / attention game works so poorly with them. Fidelity to an alpha is easy for them.

Good cosmetic dentistry and surgery are cheaper than ever.

That's an interesting point. I certainly have noticed that the Bay Area is really paradise for Asian men who want to date cute Asian women -- I always thought it was sort of a numbers thing (your typical Bay Area Asian woman went to a 50% Asian high school and a 30%-60% Asian college and just never got into the habit of dating white guys) but maybe it's partially about weak white men too.

Your SMV does not drop if you tell her that you are a surgeon or a Congressman or a hedge fund manager, and if you say you're a gravedigger she'll assume that you work a register at 7-11. Not good.

Dead bedroom in a sugar daddy situation is damn rare.

Status is everything, game is very little, and what little it is simply leaning on how women otherwise would perceive your status. How important looks are to status varies tremendously.

A woman who uses her looks intelligently never loses that advantage because just as her looks start to fade (mid 40s if she takes care of herself) her husband is entering his peak power and money years and her children are old enough to protect her if her husband were to be tempted to abandon her for someone younger.

These girls were 10x what these guys good have swung in the free dating market in the US. One wife ca…

As a rule a childless woman under 30 should be size zero or two if they have a lightweight build (skinny wrists are the key sign here), and those with a heavier build (thick wrists) should be a four or six.

You pretty seriously misunderstand the circumstances of an attractive woman. Abundance is not an attitude she cultivates, it is an omnipresent fact of nature. She can ALWAYS get a smarter, better looking, cooler, richer man than her present partner. She is with her partner because there is something about him that compels her to disregard that abundance in favor of loyalty. Other men's attention reinforces her choice of you until YOU do something to abandon your hold on her.

Nothing is what you do. Jealousy regarding ordinary interaction is a self fulfilling confession of lower SMV. Also, the more men who want your woman, the more your woman respects you for having gotten her.

Non-slutty women can do every one of these things. They are especially prone to being rich daddy's girls unsympathetic to a middle class husband.

Status is in the eye of the beholder and seeming confident and good looking, no matter your job, certainly works for some women some places. A smart guy should have that figured out, and Hendler, easier than a dumb one, or his intelligence is meaningless.

The article is BS. Women are attracted to status. Many forms of high status are available exclusively to smart men. Any other form of high status is always going to be more easily obtained by an intelligent man than a dumb man, because the former has a superior ability to plan and execute. A women is, and should be, completely put off by a low status smart man, because that means he is a gross social defect, given the inherent advantages conferred by intelligence.

Good for her. One of my best friends became a wimpy, whiny pothead between 25 and 30, and I could bear him for about two nights out a year after that. A 26 year old knowing to bail on that shit and find an ambitious guy in NYC is Red Pill embodied. I hope she's cute; ugly girls need to go to Chicago for the same result.

Yeah, that's just as likely. When I was waiting tables I worked for a while with a bartender who moonlighted (daylighted, I guess more accurately) as a pro-domme. Her clients regularly came by when she was tending bar and, for guys who got off (with her) on really outrageous submissive crap, they were perfectly alpha with whatever girls they would be with (yes, sometimes they brought their wives!) or would run into.

Umm, two things you don't understand. First, skinny / glowing skin / neotenous / adrogynous is a very power axis of male attractiveness, because it signals YOUTH and HEALTH which is a critical evolutionary asset in a partner. See: Justin Bieber, young Leonardo diCaprio, young Frank Sinatra, 80s glam rockers, etc. Second, being a don't-give-a-fuck-about-the-rules-man guy is also a very powerfully attractive status indicator, because only someone high quality can violate the social order with impu…

Three unrelated options: (1) May not be beta at all. "I love you" and "I'm sorry" are two of the more important jars of interpersonal grease that sustain a real relationship -- once you've been with someone for years you'll know. (2) That said, a guy can get away with MOUNTAINS of beta if he's willing to date a woman less good looking than him. In other words, beta is subjective to the SMV of the woman you're trying to get with or stay with. (3) Many women want submissive men as partners, and so…

It's not about options. Game works best on some good looking women because depriving them of the attention to which they're accustomed leads them to infer higher status and thus be attracted. Less good looking women don't expect attention and thus can't be triggered by artfully withholding it.

Pre-nups have been litigated, and enforced, for 50 years in the U.S. A competent family lawyer will have a file of hundreds of pre-nups which held up under challenge to use as a model. Here's the basics for a good pre-nup: (1) start the process at least nine months before the wedding date, and finish no less than six months before hand. NOT ONE PENNY of non-reimbursable expenses should be incurred on the wedding, no invitations sent out, etc., before done. (2) hire your fiancee a lawyer and acco…

Presumed paternity laws can be very shitty for some men, especially as in the OP's story with apparently horrible legal representation, but believe it or not they are asserted more often by ex-husbands in order to <I>maintain</i> legal paternity over children born to their ex-wives while married, when their vindictive ex-wives seek to bring in the biological fathers as the new (legal) dads of the children.

Humans are social animals. A man's reproductive value is highly linked to his command over communal resources, and STATUS is the measure of that. Hence, women are attracted to what they perceive to be as status. The perception of status differs from woman to woman and in the same woman over time, and is highly prone to cognitive error. The attraction of some women to outright assholes is a cognitive error along the lines of: "society's rules say be nice; only high status people can break society…

Right and wrong. Beta behavior that one enjoys or feels obligatory certainly isn't bad, as long as it done knowingly and full recognition that it will not generate the social rewards that in reality accrue to alpha behavior. Socially-rewarded politeness and altruism are simply a sub-set of niceness: they are things that are desirable and rewarded IF PERFORMED BY THOSE OF ALREADY HIGH STATUS, i.e., a more general case of the maxim we already know, which is that, "women desire niceness and helpful…

3 and 11 are wrong. Women want happening places, and those are expensive and (usually) have some high crime areas too. 5 is worth expanding on though, to a general principle of an open social scene. Meeting people (not just women) is easy in New York and London because the scenes are constantly changing and fundamentally open. It is murder in Boston and Seattle because social networks are cliquey beyond belief.

Every woman has two red lines for men's appearance: the sexual red line (beyond which she can't be attracted, no matter what else is going on) and the social red line (the line beyond which even if she's attracted, she will refuse a man in order to defend her own social standing.) This is bad for you if your appearance deficits are immutable (shortness, deformities) but good if they are anything else. You can be very weird looking and plenty of women will think you're hot if you have the right a…

Dude you are taking this too personally. It ain't about you. Women are attracted to what they perceive as status. You had no status in appearance or reality, now perhaps you do.

I don't know. They are describing attraction, not willingness to settle. And it's pretty consistent: they are attracted to status. What looks high status to a teenager isn't what looks high status to a 27 year old. A smart chubby arrogant dude has no status when he's a 17-year-old debate captain or first chair trombone in the concert band but when he's 27 and has a Harvard MBA all of a sudden that arrogance is beguiling and his gut is a manly affectation.

I do not get why successful men can panic at the notion that women are attracted to them in part because of their success. Do good looking women panic because men are attracted to them for that reason? Pre-nups are perfectly enforceable if done properly.

Sex with your wife is not something you earn by dieting, lifting weights or employing LTR game upon her. It is something which she should provide you as a consequence of marriage, unless she has specific and serious physical impairments. If she is refusing you, you need to tell her that it has become unacceptable. If you have stopped initiating sex, you need to start again. If she refuses you after that, it gets interesting.

I find that women give great advice as long as you prefix it with "have high status and ask for what you want and ..." By failing to attach that prefix though you can misinterpret 180 degrees. Notice how women rarely give advice that is defective even prefixed. "Friends first" or "take her to an expensive dinner on the first date" or "don't try to kiss her" -- you don't hear those things.

In what sense is risk and dominance not encouraged and rewarded among school boys? Sports are important in every socioeconomic strata and pay huge social rewards, and practical rewards (college admission) too.

I agree with almost none of these things. Wrong. Unless you are insanely good looking and high status, like 0.01%, a woman who is good enough for you is one you will need to pursue. Maybe. Some of the best women are socialized such that going dutch or alternating is literally unimaginable. Dating them can be worth it, and isn't "buying love."
