Having a tough time of it.  And when that happens, I lean back into music.

Some of y’all young dudes might not even know who these cats are.  They were before my time, but Steely Dan has been sampled a lot in hip hop. (and honestly that hip hop is probably before your time, lol)

This is a classic.

The Story behind it?

I haven’t been able to find a book club that doesn’t degrade into girl’s night out wine time.

I can already hear the defenses, but when given opportunity to do their own thing – what happens?

Speaking of, a satirical take on the premise.

Aide – Madam President, The power stations are going to shut down.

President – Which city?

Aide – All of Them

But this little nugget

-Archie

So the TL DR – Woman has car issues and rather than fix them, she goes on a date.(Attractive is implied) Dude asks, plans, and then takes the chick to DINNER.  Has a good conversation about something she likes.  He asks consent for a kiss.  She says no, on the reason that she’s not vaccinated.

Wait, hold on. So she went to a dinner, and then ice cream, and she has to take her mask off for that.

And she’s mad that he rolled out?  She expected him to wait around?

Now, I’m not saying bro’s should verbalize “what do you bring to the table?” but in this case

• • • Can’t handle automotive responsibilities
    • All these months and she still hasn’t got vaccinated
    • Goes to the most risky place to be these days (if you’re concerned about vax)

But when it comes time for a kiss…

I don’t blame the dude.

The proper player move was to

1. 1. Be Non-plussed when you get denied (and screen better, cause broads that wanna talk literary theory…)
   2. Actually “white knight for a bit”
   3. Keep track of when she said she didn’t vax
   4. Eventually bang  (trust me, the bang is NEVER worth waiting for when a chick puts conditions on it)
   5. Don’t ever call her again

If she wants closure, you go back through your list, and tell the chick she’s a bird.

That out of the way, this is one of the conspiratorial comments.

There have been comments suggesting we have a massive book/online resource to record all these scrotes.

Imagine if all the guys in your city had a database recording all of your dealings with Tinder chicks.

• Older than her pics
• Fatter than her pics
• Shorter than her pics
• Actually has kids.
• Brought up feminist talking points when we weren’t talking about feminism
• Puts out, 5 stars

FDS, the gift that keeps on giving

Recently, Fresh of Fit and Fresh copped a McLaren.

This obviously caused a ruckus with the boys, especially the fact that he’s mentioning a random chick.

And then this popped up (this is looking obviously fake, but there are plenty of these vids online – guy talks to girl, she isn’t interested, and then he gets into a super car/hyper car and she gets interested, and then he rejects her for being a gold digger)

The story about both is that men can trigger hypergamy by showing their status/material wealth.

If you go by the Rollo’s idea of game “Whatever your strategy is to meet the opposite sex” – then this is clearly game.

And of course, that’s not MY definition.

The thing is that if we’re building the twin pillars of manhood

To a kid looking up to me, Life ain’t nothing but bitches and money (c) Ice Cube

So at some point, many of us, hopefully all of us are going to have these trappings of our status.

Maybe it’s not just a suit, but a nice suit.

Maybe it’s not just dress shoes, but something with museum calf.

It’s not just a dive watch, it’s a Submariner

It’s an S-Class/G-Wagen

Whatever it is, whatever thing that you’re doing for yourself, will eventually get noticed by the opposite sex.

Are we to hide what we have? (which makes sense to me, but that means a life with very little in way of ostentation – stay in the suburban home in midling neighborhood, drive the same Toyota Camry, wear the same mall clothes as everyone else – only you, your accountant, and your personal banker”

Seduction, Pick Up, The Game, etc – all have had very tortured relationships with pornography.

Back in the day, there was quite a debate about whether to “take care” of yourself before going out to sarge.

In the late 90’s/early 00’s – Dudes that were young, dumb, and full of potential – the testosterone surging through their very beings meant that a quick session would take the edge off and make “sarging” more effective because the edge was taken off.  Dudes were not so thirsty.

The other side argued that by focusing one’s sexual energy into the entirety of the pick up, but keeping it under control – that energy could be harnessed for more effective pickups.

There was no easy answer to this question, and it ended up being up to the individual, and that ended up to be case by case, day by day.

Keep in mind, this debate was at the start of internet porn being freely available. Most Gen X guys and older did not grow up with a virtual harem in their pockets.  Moreover, the female “arms” race to modify her visage and attract more attention did not go into hyperspace like it has now.

20 years later, things have changed.

Not only has internet pornography damaged a new generation of guys, it’s also enticed a lot of women into easy money. She just needs a webcam and an OnlyFans account to make “thousands” – (In reality, that’s just not the case. She’s putting her pics and videos out there for pennies, only to have those things resurface later in life.  But we wont judge)

So a tale of regret as commented on by Mediocre Tutorials and Review

The “star” in question is Kinsley Karter.  I am familiar with her work, though not a fan.  She confesses to being a pornstar as well as a sugar baby.

But what happens when these chicks decide to truly cash in on their looks and be trophy wives.

Well there’s this

Aba (the Ethiopian dude) and Preach (The Haitian Dude) weigh on her advice.

But what happens when these pornstars try to actually get married?

Oshay Duke Jackson breaks down this situation.

What are we to take away from this?

I think the Red Pill answer is obvious.

• • • Pornography is bad for boys, teens, and men.
    • Pornography is bad for girls, teens, and women.

But what about players?

The veteran player has absorbed the red pill, and is well past the anger and finger pointing stage.

There are no unicorns, and plenty of women are out there doing their thing but not broadcasting it.

Unlike today

And just to throw another one in there – infamous, now on Spotify – “respectable young ladies’ – who’ve gotten fame and money via their exploits…

It would be funny if it weren’t so tragic.

The RP/Trad Con is clutching his pearls.

The young player is sowing his oats.

But as a veteran, all I can do is shake my head.

I like to chop it up with the young guns learning the game.

When I got into this stuff, my mind set was that I needed some good material to kick to the ladies, and then I’d be off the races.

And when Roman Soul Gazing failed to hook them, I then figured out I needed to change my delivery.  Then I needed to change my timing. Then my clothes.  Then the venue.  Then the targets…

As a veteran, I chuckle at that now.

Well I eventually got it.  I had to learn the techniques, do the work, to understand that I was changing mentally.

The biggest change that guys make in the game is their mindset.

When the mindset changes, the actions change.

When the actions change, the reactions change.

When the actions and reactions are changing, the behavior and personality changes.

After he’s done all that, there’s a pink elephant in the room.

How does she think?

https://youtu.be/qbkS9IpWGf0

Now, it’s easy to write off this behavior as “young and uneducated”.  Without playing the video, you can hear the gum smacking.  With the neck tattoo, you kinda know what you’re in for.

So let’s throw a few zeros on the paycheck, a big job, and a few degrees.

This is the quote from above.  (The woman in this show is actually based on a real life DC fixer)

I have never seen an episode of this show in my life, but any dude that’s been around the game already know how this plays out.

Professional Class Woman dates Professional Class Man.  She could be one part of a power couple, or she could be a stay-at-home Mom.

But no.

He offers peace, but she wants chaos.

When the young player goes from green to seasoned, this is the next step in his evolution.

Now that I can attract?  What do I throw back?

WIA

Alright fellas, I’m giving into the dark side.

So this is the post from FDS – literally the best subreddit to understand women.

White knight gets mollywhopped by exboyfriend.

Dude in the comment section says, the orbiter prolly got friend zoned.

Difference between a great man and a garbage
byu/Rememberthekant inFemaleDatingStrategy

And this is the comment.

Yes, them’s the rules.  Aside from family members, you don’t get carte blanche male protection from other men.

If we ain’t banging, you’re on your own.  (and lest we forget the GF was banging the psycho in the FIRST PLACE – it’s probably the same aggressiveness that attracted her in the first place.  Shorty wanna thug until he starts beating on her…I digress)

When you understand feminine psychology – she goes for bad boys and to a lesser extent tall guys, and to a lesser extent muscular guys – because she’s looking for a man that can protect her.

Any man that loses the beer belly gets points for being healthy.

But getting JACKED? Which means heavily muscled, visibly muscled, and average height or taller – she’s interested.  Adding the bad boy elements, tats, beard, motorcycle/muscle car, devil may care attitude – that’s chick magnet.

She’s not interested in his thoughts on Kamala Harris’ political machinations.

She does not care about his feelings on the Covid.

She knows not to ask about his opinion on her interior decorating skills.

She wants to feel protected at one level, and at a deeper level – “the seed is strong”.

So her biology, her primal psychology, and her socialization all lead to the same dude.

I don’t begrudge a woman for that.

Men’s biology, primal psychology, and socialization lead to us wanting a lot of women, all fertile and nubile, and when that’s not available, morally flexible. (c) Moma.

Traditionally, there were reciprocal duties to said protection.

Like if she got a banging body, she’s not gonna invite attention to it, particularly in your presence. (because if she cares about you, she’s not trying to get you into a fight to protect her “honor”).

And this was the least of those duties.  The very least.

Those days are long gone.

• • With the pill.
  • With education.
  • With good financial planning.
  • With government helping out when she can’t make ends meet…

She doesn’t need a man for his money, so she can focus on men that tickle her fancy.  She can engage in pick and choose feminism.

So now what?

What are we engineers, computer scientists, bankers, accountants, consultants, etc to do?

Obviously we have many paths to achieve attractiveness.  So that’s not a real issue.

Short guys, fat guys, the wrong skin color guys, have learned that whatever a woman says she wants, she rarely gets, and most of the time it’s the man’s personality – his effect on her emotions – that she hooks up with, has babies for, and sometimes marries.

She might as well send her list to Santa.

But do we step in when random chick is finna get hit up?

What if the chick is a friend we ain’t banging?

Isn’t that what 911 is for?

Dude is a great storyteller.  There’s a lot of technical things you can draw from the presentation that you can modify and use in the real world on people you interact with.

But the TL DR for the first part.

• • Guy gets popular (youtube? music?  I have no idea)
  • He smashes a lot of females
  • He gets sick
  • He can’t bang no more, but girls still want to come deal with him.  Just be around him.
  • He realizes that the people in his life when he was healthy, he doesn’t really notice
  • He notices girls
  • In the past, bangs em, sleep over, kick em out
  • Now that he can’t bang, he doesn’t really want them there
  • But he relents because chicks are persistent
  • He starts to talk to these broads, why are you here?  Why were you giving me the P?
  • The females say – I’m here because you don’t hit me.

This is one of those Andre3000 moments for him.  A girl says something to him and he is hit with the reality of it.

The chicks – “You cuddle with me.  You cook. You hold me.  You listen to me…”

Other dudes hit me,….

Not so fast Speedy Gonzalez.

So getting back to the multiple levels of Game here

• • 1. He ran his popularity game on the chicks to get them to come through.
    2. They are running their sympathy/truth game.
    3. And now he’s running his “narrative surprise” game on the audience.

We are supposed to feel something for these girls.

What the red pill teaches us AND what feminism teaches us, is that girls have AGENCY.

She can date and fuck whoever she wants.

That means she makes decisions to deal with certain dudes over other dudes.

If a guy was dealing with nothing but strippers, prostitutes, only fans chicks, and getting drained of his time, money, and effort – WHO’S FAULT IS THAT?

Are we supposed to feel sorry for the 70 year old pensioner who retires to the Philippines, marries a chick in her early 30’s, and then gets taken to the cleaners?

And then does it again at 80?

Accountability.

The rest of the video is actually pretty interesting as well, in that girls will deal with a lot of poor treatment to be with a guy that has “status”.  He talks about how he was lead into a life of chasing females and building a notch count for status within his male group of peers.  (the whole thing reeks of young men looking for social acceptance – which is something I understand, but have done without.  Because as Cube said, “Who are they to be equal to?”  Why do I want to join that group?…”

Back to the topic

So for the poor abused girl, she got the thug boyfriend she wanted.  And then she upgraded to a YouTube star, that was arguably a good boyfriend except for the cheating.  And they still want him, cheating and all.

What’s missing here?

Clearly these are the only choices for females.  Aggressive, Abusive hoodlums, and the rich and famous.

But the average dude that isn’t thug or has a million social media followers?

How come that guy is never an option?

Because he’s too boring.

Am I getting deeper into the space, or is the space growing?

Shout to my homie Quaker for putting me on.

Fresh and Fit are in the Young Guns category of the Manosphere (Shout out to Mediocre Tutorials and Reviews).

As KS says, F&F have been putting it on the wood, showing their work for sometime.

Andrew Tate, former kickboxer champion, has been living out loud for more than a few years now.  I’m not trying to investigate the man’s finances or quibble about this and that – but he’s putting his own spin on the Gospel.

Really good interview and the two hosts let him shine.

Things like eating right, working out, getting a better job/money situation, learning verbal game, learning nonverbal/subcommunication game, growing a social circle, designing a better life – will take weeks, months, years, a lifetime.

As a quick note, there are 3 things most guys can do to become instantly more attractive in an afternoon. (This is the premise of a lot of makeover episodes on day time TV)

• Buy clothes that fit
• Get a good hair cut
• Pick a good cologne

With that out of the way, I’ve been on my cologne game heavy in prepping for the return of normalcy.  Normally I rock Tom Ford Noir Extreme, Versace Eau De Fraiche, and whatever the incense man has available.  (I’m Black, sue me)

That said, this pandemic has had me at home, working a lot more than usual.  But I’m back on my kettlebells, back with intermittent fasting, back with keto, back with meditation.

On my “fragrance journey”, I subscribed to a lot of fragrance youtubers.  One of my favorite body oils is Tobacco Vanilla.  Made me wonder, what else was out there.

It’s a whole new world.  I actually ended up copping the actual Tom Ford TV. (On sale! But still expensive by most normal standards)

I’d say most of the guys that are into cologne/perfume/fragrance aren’t necessarily the most “alpha” of men.  They’re normal guys, not stereotypes.

Except for this guy.

Jeremy Fragrance.  

He’s tall, good looking, blonde, blue eyed?, German, has the cars, the clothes, the apartment, the look.

To quote the kids, “He’s a Chad”.

IMO, he also has a great nose.  I’ve added a few colognes to my wishlist because of him.  (Also shout out to Big Beard Business, Bow Tie Fragrance Guy, Redolessence, Ash @ Gent Scents, and Chaos Fragrances)

But back to Jeremy.

He’s got the look.

But his videos are always a bit too honest, a bit too unpolished.

The things one learns unexpectedly.

https://youtu.be/ndtbjwOHTMU

At about the 4:30 mark, he says a prayer to God.

I don’t know how much of his personal life leaks onto his channel. (He does post 3-4 times per day though)

But he really speaks on the troubles he’s had in his life.  (One of which is a very Red Pill topic, that I’m not gonna touch)

The key game principle here is that this is not a disclosure of strategic vulnerability.

Often times a brother might “let slip” a “problem” that isn’t really a problem.

Interviewer – “Your biggest weakness”

Archie – “I work too much”

It’s actually true, I give too much to the profession, but that’s exactly what the company wants to hear.

This disclosure is the opposite of that.

RP Newb – “But Mark Manson says I should be vulnerable”

Mark Manson – “Not like this”

What to make of this? Especially in these touch social media times.

Overall, it’s a study in online game, social media game, and just game in general.
