True,, that's what men need to understand about the game. Men and women are opposite. What applies to men, flip it up side down, and it will apply to women. That's the key to mastering intergender dynamics. The formula.

As you've said, a man is high value when he deals with many women while a woman is low value if she does the same - that is, deals with many men. It's how the game goes.
Eg As much as men detest a high body count female,, that same thing on a man makes him highly attractive to women. Even a virgin girl desires to be disvirgined by a Player, because he has done it plenty of times before and has the required experience for the job.
Which reminds me of that catch22 situation where Women want men who are good in bed but they can't teach a man, so if a man isn't good no woman will want him but for him to be good at it, he needs to be given a chance to practice but no woman will give him a chance if he's not good in the first place. It's like those frustrating job situations where companies want someone with experience but for you to gain experience you need to work but you can't work without the experience in the first place. Impossible situations....
Lol! I totally agree!

That catch 22 kinda situation is problematic on all levels. But it takes special awareness to game the game especially in situations that require experiences.

In the sexual game, sex should be about the impression men lay on the women. This is not to say that a man must try to impress the woman in bed, but that there are some feelings he can imprint on her there and then, maybe during f0replay or pre-intimacy and not the real coitus(penetrative sex) that will make the woman hunger and thirst for him in her imagination, his absence or presence. Here, sexual intercourse is deemed 'love making'.

Because a woman can grant easy access to her coochie today, but flip the game tomorrow, and the ignorant man will come begging her for sex and running helter skelter to get it once more. Many women work like this. But if that impression has been laid on her before, there might be little hesitation on her side, but eventually she succumbs.

How can men gain this experience?

You know that (almost) every of our actions has its pros and cons, and the average men and women are too weak to discipline themselves and maintain order when they come in contact with hell or demoniacs. So, on this note even though pornography can enhance a man's sexual game, I will rule it out because it is handled with too much extremity.

What he need do is to observe players in the game, watch good (romantic) movies, glean from (romance) books, observe women also and constantly improve. Interacting with women on a constant basis is top notch because from there he can learn and improve a lot. Experiences with women is very vital and by constantly spicing his game with experiences he becomes much better.

PS: experiences with women can also be leveraged on in job vacancies that involves 5-10 years experience when there is literal none. What he ought to do is to go down the memory lane and observed what he has done in the past, spice it up, build on the part that is directly or indirectly involve with the job vacancy and present it with confidence to the manager or HRM. (In the place where I work currently, it is mandatory that every prospective employees write an exam, but my presentation on the first day made me skip that part). What I'd was to spice up my experiences on the CV...viola!

Growth is a slow but achievable process though.

Thanks!

Pre-selection. That's what it is. As others have said already.

Pre-selection is when a man is already wanted by other women, or already "selected" before a woman accepts him. It makes the man wanted because him being already wanted vouches for him. It's like a letter of recommendation. The simplest way to see this in action is when you're single, no woman wants to talk to you. But when you get a girlfriend, suddenly all these women are interested in you. What has changed? A girl likes you now. And that broadcasts to all women that you're a good guy after all not some awkward loser.
Think of it like money. If you want to deposit your money do you choose a bank that looks broke or do you choose a bank that looks rich? Obviously the bank that looks rich. That the bank has its own money already broadcasts to you that your money is safe with them. Same thing. When a man has a woman, or women, it broadcasts to a woman that she's in safe hands with a man who knows what he's doing. That you've a girlfriend tells other women a lot about you instantaneously- that you can provide,, you're not stingy, you can fucc and you can protect. When you're single it's not easy for women to deduce these things and for any woman to get close and try to test you, it will take too much of her time and effort. So women rely on Pre-selection to get the job done. They want another woman to do the work on their behalf. To test and choose you first.

Why do women want married men? Pre-selection. Why do female friends steal each other's boyfriend? Pre-selection. Why does a guy who makes 1 girl pregnant usually make another girl pregnant soon after? Pre-selection.

Just like it's easy for a rich man to have more money because money goes to money; it's easy for a player to have more women cause women go to where other women are.
It's easier for a man in a relationship to get another woman than it is for a single man to get a woman. Pre-selection.

I can stop here or I can go on:
If Sandra is dealing with two men who want her: one, Lazaro who does everything and moves heaven and earth to show her. And two, Martinez, who doesn't do anything really to show her love, but instead has other women moving heaven and earth to show HIM they want him, who will Sandra choose?

Martinez of course.

Why? - - - - - - - > Pre-selection.

A Woman wants a man everyone wants. She wants that man to then ignore everyone and choose HER. That makes her feel more special than having only one man move worlds to prove his love. Women want to compete for a man. Not men to compete for them. When men compete over a woman Yes it's a special thing for her, but not as special as when she herself beats ten prettier women to get that one guy all women want. It's why women will literally exchange blows over a man,, that man is Alpha. But when men exchange blows over a woman, those men are Beta, regardless of who wins. A woman wants to win her man.
The man she wins she'll submit to,, but the man who wins her, ends up submitting to her in fear of losing her. Therefore the man she wins is her Alpha while she's his beta. Whereas,, the man who wins her is her Beta while she's his Alpha. Remember Alpha gets the power, Beta gets the fantasy. The chaser/competitor is the beta who gets their fantasy but does so at the expense of power.
What is Power in a relationship? Well when there are fight and disagreements, who usually apologizes and compromises to keep the other happy? The one without power. This must be the woman if a relationship is to work, and Masculinity and Femininity coexist peacefully. Women must have the fantasy, men must have the power. By "women must have the fantasy" I mean women must be the ones dating their dream man.

Coming to the pic below,, it's not a good feeling for a woman to see you trying to get other women but dismally failing because it broadcasts to her that you were lucky with her. And that fuccs up her hypergamy internally. She feels like a loser for dating you whom no woman wants.

It will make your girlfriend's ego sky rocket if she went through your phone and saw YOU turning down women in your DMs or texts. Her pucc would flow with the juices. And not because you're faithful,, but because WOMEN WANT YOU. She stays feeling like a winner. Listen, you can cheat on your girl, but if the female you cheated with is drop dead gorgeous, many times better than your girl, your girl will forgive you. By demonstrating you can get that woman who is a 10, your girlfriend who is a 7 feels also like a 10. How?. If a guy who usually fuccs female celebrities fuccs a nobody of a girl, that nobody will feel like one of the celebs. Pre-selection.

That's why being single is never an option. Always be dealing with women. That's how you get women.
The king! I concur!

After my second read, and outside observation and as far as I understand, pre-selection is multifactorial. So, in addendum pre-selection:

1. Ensures that a woman gets the best male to take care of her and her offsprings.

2. Slut shaming: when women see that they are unable to get a high value man that's already selected, they tend to slut shame the women engaged to these men. You hear them calling themselves gold diggers, wh0res etc. This is not an attempt to make the men aware and become vigilant but to stimulate the men to jettison their partners for them.
Some women had advised their female friends concerning their bad marriage and told to leave their husbands, but months later these same advisors gets pregnant for their friends 'evil husbands'.

In another scenario, when these advisors eventually make their friends elope from their partners, they go about gallivanting, garnering
emotional, sexual and antisocial escapades. Rather than improve on themselves, they all end up drowning together in uselessness and unproductivity. All this is to reduce competition! "If they can't choose me, they won't choose you too".

3. Women don't help women. Why? Because if they do so, they already made available a woman who becomes noticeable by their boyfriends, fiances or husbands. And since high value men don't go round, these women must protect the ones they've got by all means. And if it involves shadowing other women, it is a welcome development.

The way a woman becomes attractive to other men when a man upgrade her works same say as when women upgrade other women. They do donate gifts like pads, books, pencils, food clothes etc. But these things aren't bringing these women to the limelight to the extent they become a challenge. Observe very well, most of these charity works takes place in rural areas where competition is very low. If the same women were to help their counterparts nearby, hell will break loose as the game becomes intense and more competitive.

4. Women are emotional especially when it comes to the issue of sex. Every sexual encounter or intercourse lays an impression on them. Pre-selection helps to know if a particular man can meet up to that sexual impression or beat pass it. That's why a woman's body count doesn't matter as compared to the feelings she had during and after the sexual intercourse even if it was just one (1) guy that she did fvcked the whole time or even once. Hence, it is advisable for men to get virgin women as wives.

Once a man beat that impression or matches it, the woman keeps coming: Okafor's Law!

5. Women are jealous of themselves and don't really help themselves because they are average and can only help to that average level. Unlike men, they are creative and even when they raise other men they are still able to catapult themselves to another new dimension. Because of their creativity men find it enjoyable helping other men.

(Note: Jealousy is an emotion though, both men and women experience it and works differently for both men---to scare other men from their mates and territory---and women---to secure all her mate's resources for her and her offsprings).

6. Pre-selection for men works this way: if other men have had their way with her, it means she's an abandoned project; can't be able to support a home; unlucky and unstable; unloyal and highly risky.

So, pre-selection for women is to know the number of women a man has because it signifies good resources; while for men, the level of her chastity because it signifies good quality and fertility.

On this note, I draw the curtain here.

Thanks.

Professor I'm not a troll lol,I've actually learnt a lot from this thread as well(understanding perfectly how men think and what they truly want), the normal redpill helps both men and women, it's just that you have a lot of bitterpillers in your midst and are always trying to mixup bitterness with redpill.
I agree.

Inasmuch the redpill focuses on the side of men, women on the other side can learn from it. This is possible when women become the direct opposite of what the redpill tries to remedy in women when lecturing men.

For example: redpill says "hey man, improve yourself and grow and if you must engage women never do so with a damaged one". The sets of wise women on the other side will improve and never allow themselves to become damaged. Automatically, it becomes a win for the women because even though the redpill didn't addressed their situations directly although by proxy, they still learnt and benefited from it. (Ubunja's Miseducations attempted this directly. I also learnt from it by reversing the miseducations and viewed it again from the male angle, wherein the author was addressing women. You can check it up).
The women in this category who are able to develop themselves this way will win the best amongst men.

However, because women are histrionic, not truth willing, they see the redpill harangues as an attack rather than as a remedy. Because they don't want to be judged or thoroughly scrutinize (as a result of the near ostracism that comes with it) they become antagonistic towards it.

You're not wrong when you say many amongst the redpillers are bitter: discovering and understanding female nature and how men has been manipulated will propel a man towards bitterness and ire. Not only that, the society on a conscious level doesn't give 2 fvcks about men!
But it is expedient he move on from there, make peace with himself and understand that female nature is an instinct; and life a game! What he ought to do is to learn how to finagle his way around this nature and enjoy women, therefore, the redpill.

Have a nice day!

PS: I still see you and your gender as a troll in this space.

Just very few of you don't exhibit the bitterpill character,majority of you are so bitter and still not redpilled.It may interest you to know that bitter men are the easiest to manipulate if been handled by a wise and cunning woman. The hardest of men are the calm and collected ones with very sound communication and interactive skills, you can hardly have your way with these set of men,they end up subduing you into total submission after exhausting all your manipulative skills as a woman, but those of you with very bitter and aggressive habits are the easiest to manipulate, just make them a figure head while you lay low and manipulate the hell out of him,he'll never realize he's under any manipulation because you are never going to challenge his bitterness and aggression else he becomes very alert and unnecessarily sensitive. So far, so good,the only true nairaland redpillers that can give the greatest manipulative woman a hard time are (1) ubunja(only very few women who ties their wrapper to the right instead of the normal left would succeed with this one) (2) Bloodysperm(he's very unpredictable). (3) CaveAdullam(you can hardly know where to grab him,he's too alert and overly conscious). The rest of you are no stress,you just haven't met your match.

DAY 335, REDPILL 2021

"She's the best you can ever get".

The above statement is a manipulative tool to disengage you from the abundant mindset and make you focus on a particular woman. This statement is mostly used by family and friends who are familiar with this particular woman: it works in either of the following ways;


1. Your confederates(family and friends) has already vetted her on their side.

2. Or, they like her and because of that, they want you to become engage with her regardless of her past behaviors.

3. Or, she has a very low sexual and social market value (SMVs).

4. Or, you are very low in the sexual and social market value (SMVs).


The first position is rare! The second and third positions are the most frequent; they want you to marry her out of pity or a means to further manipulate you. For the fourth position, you will never be considered as an option and will be advise by her family and friends to stay aloof from you. And any woman that eventually stays will do it out of pity with little or no submission.

DAY 333, REDPILL 2021

1. You don't need to be surprise bro, you hastened to get the bag without paying little consideration for once in order to determine what it contain.

2. You were chasing her, and her as a good strategist played the carrot-stick game with you. She knew that the more you chase her, the more you'll think she's of high value, super quality and better than her sisters. The lesser the supply of a product, the higher its demand and the more its price skyrockets.

3. She works like conmen and salesmen by augmenting her physical demeanor. You were in haste and couldn't decipher the value and qualities of what you bought long term.


4. "Oh! She wasn't like this when we were dating, just few months after wedding, she started showing and exhibiting some anomalous qualities". No man, she didn't change, she just took off her cloak! What you complain of is what she truly is!

5. You don't need a marriage counsellor, neither do you need any psychotherapist. Her reality is what you see and hardly anything you can do about it. The more you try to correct, the more you become contaminated with the mess she oozes.

6. She played a good and fast one on you because she was all you thought of, she made you so much invest on her so that by the time she finally decide to pity and look down upon you, you be glad for owning her.


7. Women that you chase have a lot to hide under their blankets, they are good salesmen. The one that has genuine desire for you tell you about herself before you even get to know her.

8. All women must be thoroughly vetted but a higher proportion of it which involves much time and energy involves women that you choose compared to the one that choose you.


9. A whole lot of unstable people with lower depth and emptiness void of loyalty and trustworthiness, to lure you into their deception and stab you with the hook of a betrayer abounds. Don't take people for their first, push them a little and see if they truly got good taproots. The men that fail, never do business with them. For the women that fail never enter into relationship with them!

iLegendd:
I bank with almost all the banks. I want to give 5k each (on the 2nd of December) to people that bank with Zenith Bank.

To qualify you must possess the below

1. NIN Slip or Drivers' License or International passport
2. You must be above 16
3. You must have a Zenith Mastercard that hasn't expired
4. You must be able to recieve OTP with your phone when doing a transaction with your card
5. You must not be a scammer
6. You must have an Android phone with a front camera
7. Your Nairaland moniker must not be a new one (it must be at least, 1 year old)
8. I may give you a video call
9. You must be on WhatsApp or Telegram

Late comers won't benefit from this.

I'll send you 55k this month to do something with it. All the profit will be mine, but on the 2nd of December, I'll send you 60k to do the same transaction with 55k and the remaining 5k will be yours. Yes, 5k is too small for a big boy/girl like you, but Rome wasn't built in a day.

We'll be doing this every month — as long as you don't runaway with my money and you'll be making 5k or more.

Criminals and dishonest people should stay off. I'll do this for other banks in the future if this one is successful.
I meet all the requirements! "oya enrol me".

PS: can you please throw small light about the business transaction so that those that have 55k+ on their accounts can do it on their own? I think this is better and will curb scammers and dishonest people who will not make good use of this opportunity.

Anyway, whichever one that suits you best.

Good morning folks. I am always in awe of the words of wisdom that men who have been in the field put out here near every single day — save for the few times distractions come in. You guys have been a blessing to many of us who just come in here to read — and if we're registered members — and click the "like" button.

I say a big thank you to everyone who has genuinely taken his time to teach men and boys true masculinity. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your kind and lovely words.

Now, I don't usually bring my personal dealings to public, but in this case, I might have to compromise this one time.
Alright bro.

dadrenaline:
As much as the red pill is amoral; I am someone that follows the path of Tonnyray, in that, I have a different perspective on the application of the redpill.
Redpill is amoral because it explains and lay bare of what things are. It doesn't coerce anyhow to act, but to know how to act based on the things it explained. Its explanations most times doesn't appeal to people especially the religious folks because they think that the redpill implies that one must do like that, rather, the redpill (is a conduit, a raven bird, a prophet that) passes what it observes and the operating system of these things.

dadrenaline:
I have been soaking these pills since the inception of this thread, and while I didn't really have a platform to display what I knew, I had no idea that my mind was slowly being "renewed."
Good to hear!

dadrenaline:
I am in my second year. In my first, I barely played around with girls, and generally avoided them. But not too long ago, I changed Church and started attending this student fellowship. I didn't like it at first, but I slowly grew my tolerance level and just did my thing. I noticed they had a lot of female leaders, and this was something that had never happened to me before, but I adapted quickly.

Like I said, I did my thing. I flowed more with the guys more, spoke little with the females and just generally avoided trouble.

Until recently, when I heard from my group leader that people (the female leaders including the Branch Pastor) were complaining about me. I supposedly have issues with submitting to authority; poor response and the fact that my words were never said in the right tone.

Her accusations shocked me but I overlooked them at first, until I noticed that the female leaders I played and joked started changing their approach towards me. They became harsher and more often than not, we tend to clash these days.

I really don't like that because I know just how dramatic women can be, especially when they know they can seem to get their way with me. They want me to bend to their whims, obviously, but that's not my person. I am a very agreeable person and most time, very sacrificial so long it involves the church, but other than that...it has to be my way. No negotiations. They seem to hate that.
You are experiencing this because you're now redpill aware, and found that women no matter how much they pretentiously assume leadership qualities cannot rule effectively.

Gynocentrism has entered the church, feminists harangues are now the order of the day: women must be granted same opportunity as men even if they are of low competence, after all, humans are equal!

Forget about their caterwaulings and convulsing, 'they may not like your behavior but it is what will keep them confuse and attracted to you. Remain like that, add some humour and unpredictability to it.

dadrenaline:
Now, there are reasons why I can't leave this church, but my first question is how to get around authoritative female leaders with less friction? This is very important.
Like you said somewhere, "the church serves as an avenue for you to express your gift or talent or skills; a musical inclined one I perceive. This is a positive sum game: the church and you benefits.

Since the church serves you greatly, you must pay lip service, because even though it's a positive sum game, the church still has other candidates that can quickly and easily fill your position when they are no longer in need of your service. The only exception is if you're highly competent, and connected to the veins and arteries of the fellowship.

You must continually fake obedience until you no longer need them. Remember: the women got the backings of simps. Their complaints will do you no harm but they can easily use these simps as a leverage to hinge your progress. If you choose to remain intransigent, the next remedy is to switch to another fellowship or church.

dadrenaline:
My second question has to do with my cell leader who invited me to the church and has been on my neck ever since. I have never seen such an aggressive green light signaling before in my life. She would force herself to dance with me; defend me on numerous occasions, even to the displeasure of our leaders; use my personal items such as handkerchiefs and others things time won't let me mention.

The act that truly got was after a particular vigil, work was still ongoing in church, so there was limited space to lay down and sleep. Naturally, spaces were divided to boys and girls, yet she left her female end and moved over to my space, and laid next to me...

My residential Pastor refused vehemently and called her out. She was to move over, but she refused saying that she had a phobia with sleeping in the middle of people. All said and good, oya move over to the end of the female line, she said no. She started crying and saying that no one likes to hear her point of view.

It was a serious affair that early morning, as none of the two women wanted to bend to the other. It was until this girl took her bag and wanted to risk her life to return home in the dead of the night that she was finally allowed to do her thing.

I was told to face the other direction while she slept. I did, but later changed my body position as anyone would while sleeping. Only for me to realize not long after that she was slowly moving her butt to touch my body. Now this girl was attractive — tall with long legs, sizeable bust, thick lips, and a moderate ass, just the way I like my girls —, so I tried hard to control myself. But she wouldn't stop until her butt was firmly glued to my Johnson. How I didn't go beyond half-mast that day was a miracle. But this was the height of it and I intentionally withdrew from her for a long time as I didn't know what she saw in me.

I am a regular joe, fairly tall, a good writer and has the voice of a Light Tenor. That's it. Yet, this girl has been acting like she wants to get Will Smith.

I was at a her place two days ago for church discussion, but she quickly used that opportunity to start her shenanigans again. As much as I like her, I don't want to date anyone now, but I do not want to lose the usefulness that comes with having her obsessed with me. How do I go about this?

Cc Martinez95, Tonnyray, Caveadullum and others.
This is genuine desire in its organic and raw form. Genuine desire doesn't care if that place or her body is the temple of God. Or, if God's prophets will invoke immediate judgement on her. Or, what church members will say. Genuine desire first act before thinking! It is what it is!

But like you said somewhere, "this lady in question has suffered depression and attempted suicide. This is a more tangible reason in addition to your Christian position to stay aloof from her. For you as a Christian, fvcking her is a sin; and aside that, fvcking a clingy woman in such state of poor mental and emotional instability will causes you much distress in future. She will always weaponise her psychological problem when there's a collision. And if she eventually does, you'll blame yourself and society will drag your neck to the guillotine.

There is no amount of heart to heart talk that will stop her from coming to you. She might bear your rejection for sometime, but will come back later. Even if you decide to help her on your own, it will bolster the intensity of the attraction. Strong repelling is what's needed here. Avoid her!

As far as I understand, the possible way to let her go are:

1. Stay in location that isn't easily accessible by her.

2. Fake a serious illness or tell lies about an internal one.

3. Leave the church. (Genuine desire though will be patient with her microscope when searching for you).

4. Since she's a Christian, act opposite of what the Christian values entails covertly.

5. Know her worth and ask her for something you know she can't provide for you.

6. Don't spare/spend time with her. State whatever message that will bring you close together and leave immediately!

Genuine desire is sometimes mad bro, it may end up defying the above.

On the other hand, we are humans and need each other. If you must help at all so that the intimacy will be less, help her by proxy.

Note: all what I stated here are machiavellic tendencies and I know it will never be comfortable with you because it encroaches on your Christian views.

Since you can't, the only way is to succumb and remain agreeable till you eventually get whatever you want out of the tunnel.

But as you must know, simping doesn't only has to do with women, you can simp for your church, family members, community etc. all benefitting by manipulating you. Understand that life is a game and at the same time stay on guard, do what is right, be competent, maintain integrity, be smart, be courageous and let manipulators know you arrived there first!

Oh no! I can't believe I listened to the lies of the devil and let toxic redpillers influence me. I can't believe I advised others to ruthlessly put themselves first and not play Abraham and Sarah with any woman. Even if it is a churchy post-wall girl who was bleeped by bad guys in the past who rubbished her in the other room and treated her like trash, I should understand that she is now a new creature in Christ Jesus even when she did countless abortions for them and damaged her womb. Love does not judge by the past and is there through thick and thin. The love between me and the girl should be like no other love.

I think I took the amoral nature of the red pill toooooo farrrr. sad Where is my sympathy and compassion? May God help me and deliver me from joining bad gangs like Ubunja, CaveAdullam, skepticus etc. sad
I know that if I'm the one in her "koko shoe" she will do more in helping me.

I always keep to my oath! Even if it was "pr!ck" that shifted/damaged that womb I will stick to her. Remember the vow: "in sickness or health". Unlike you, I have sympathy and compassion.

Martinez39s:
I think what CaveAdullam is saying is that men do try to achieve things, package and improve themselves just to impress and get women. This happens and in this case, women are inadvertently a source of motivation. We have even seen cases of men flexing for women and feeling good when they procure female attention, validation and approval. This is a natural tendency of most men, if not all men.

But as red pill men, we have come to think differently and we have conditioned ourselves differently. We now do things for us. It is better like that because the self-serving drive, purpose, intent and discipline that comes from within lasts longer and is not dependant on anyone's attention, presence, approval or validation. wink
Very correct!

1. Ancestral men/hunter gatherers didn't sat down close to the community square and deliberated on how to improve themselves to get women. Ditto for women. Evolution is a mindless process, things just happen and holla, we are all here wired and controlled by those same traits as theirs, however, in a different environment. And it is because of this new environment a man must become redpill aware.

2. On a conscious level, you improve yourself so that you can become a better man. But because women are already wired to date higher men they will always get attracted to you. Subconsciously or on an evolutionary level it was your genes saying "it's high time I become fruitful and multiply" hence the reason you were improving on yourself.

The game is to better yourself, stay put and watch out for manipulations. Many things has changed though and there are possibilities for constant improvement but our instincts are still intact.

What you have succinctly iterated here is the eternal balance man has to strike; between the destructive (distraction from purpose) and the constructive (motivation to self development) effect.
By the way @Junnior, the motivational effect is more often than not subconscious/unconscious not overt.
1. You know that feel bro! For a woman to remain attracted to a man he must constantly improve on his sexual market value or maintain the frame/value she met him. Once there's a drop, attraction dwindles.

2. Of course, balance is what is needed, ergo, the veracity of the redpill.

Oyin2212:
If a woman is not fertile or barren, is it always due to recklessness like sexual promiscuity?

Can it be genetic?
Other factors can contribute e.g poor personal hygiene, poor diet, history of some illnesses etc. However, barrenness and infertility is at the very low.

Sexual promiscuity can heighten the chances of infertility but many women still remained fertile after dealing with the underlying problem. There can be cases of infertility as a result of genetics, but I think it's rare.

Junnior:
Women never motivate me.

I never feel like I need to get better in order to attract more women. Using women as a source of motivation doesn't work for me. So I don't agree with women being a motivation. Well, this is for me personally anyway. When I start getting close to a girl, I find myself withdrawing quickly because I start getting terribly distracted. That's all.
This is not about you, it's about the sexual evolution of the male and female species. Like it or not, male improvement is to primarily gain more mates to pass on his genes which happens as a "non conscious, automatic processing". You speak like this because you're now reasoning on a plane of consciousness and deliberate analysis.

On the other hand, women grew firmer breasts, firmer buttocks, sexually mature early, develop thin waist to hip ratio (figure 8 or the hourly glass figure) so that they can be able to secure the best males. That's why the first traits that attracts a man to a woman is her body while the economic status of men appeals to women first before other attributes. What one mate desired in the other, the other evolved to have/become it.

And @bolded, except you have decided not to deal with women then that's not a problem. However, this is not possible if you really want to have fun and experience with women except you're playing the push-pull game in order to build attraction.

What matters is to schedule your time and work from a place of abundance.

Have a nice day.

It might be tough, but if you find out she can't take in due her past, DIVORCE HER ASAP.

Don't waste your time waiting for a miracle. Same way a woman won't wait for a broke guy to get RICH.
Be selfish. You can't just sit and expect things to change when there are fertile women out there.


Only the Redpill.
1. If you know about redpill and you are a health practitioner or something close to that, you'll lift a rock on women's cases in your life. These women play with drugs they know nothing of all in the name of contraceptives, frolick around and gets contaminated with all sorts of sexual infections and diseases. Sometimes if you hear their complaints you'll never want to mingle with them again. Some complaints are funny and some annoying asf!

2. The bluepill mindset in respect to religion and the sexual market contributes to a man sticking to a woman with low fertility or poor health as a result of her reckless lifestyle. A lack of an abundance mindset and a high investment both emotionally and financially will lead to that man waiting and hoping for a miracle that will never take place! (If he has good money, that miracle can only happen through in vitro fertilization(IVF)).

And he will not like to forsake her because his religion might not approve of that because it's tantamount to hell because he has disobeyed his God. So, he better drain himself and make sacrifices for her sins rather than go to hell!

To divert little,
A brief story: sometime ago, I was eavesdropping when one family friend of ours was telling my mum that he had been expecting a child from his wife for the past 9 years but the only reason he is still with her was because he met her a virgin and she was kinda young and naive at that time, and medical results always came out OK. They both have kids now.

The above is an exception though. But the only reason I think a man should wait is if it follows that same pattern and not wasting patience, money, time and energy in paying for the resultant effects of the damaged lifestyle his wife lived.

3. Women don't pity losers and a man loses if he tries to pity her by expending himself. Adults should be accountable for their actions and stand the consequences when the bell rings.

Tonnyray:
I actually missed this, apologies for the late response. Men have ONE major distraction: Women/Sex/Yansh/Pussy.. whatever you wanna call it. I call it the curse of testosterone. Women are however not distracted by men. They are far more purpose oriented, the purpose mainly being their welfare and wellbeing (and of course that of their progeny when they start breeding).

Case in point I had a reading partner while in med school who cornered me to just herself cos she saw me as being highly intelligent. Pretty, curvy and intelligent chick but somehow insecure of her academic prowess. She convinced me to start coming with her to Anatomy department for all night study which was contrary to my own modus operandi. Now even though I'm the type that can go 5 hours on my bed without dozing, I complied like the mumu I was back then and what was my reward? At exactly 2am I got to suckle those perfect, yellow pendulous boobs in our routine smooching sessions grin
Last last I discovered I hardly assimilated anything before 2am (because everything in my body was anticipating, and by 3am when we were done (and I'd cum to my senses.. though we never had real sex, it was mainly heavy making out culminating in handjob/fingering) we would get back to our desk and I would doze off immediately while she continued reading like nothing happened. When I failed 3 tests back to back, nobody taught me to do the needful and cut the crap. Guess what? this girl, after continuing by herself for almost 3 weeks because she felt I was forming for her, started coming to my BQ to study. Of course things graduated from there but I had learnt to prioritize my own priorities too. And I had learnt that essential thing about women, they are far more focused and purposeful (which should be the other way around unfortunately). I always had the answers and clarifications to her questions. She didn't mind giving up the coochie to this broke student just to secure her future pass in our MB part 2.
1. Women are a serious distraction and as well a motivation! It takes a highly disciplined man, to effectively manage women along side his schedule. Except that man's work is not really demanding on him mentally and physically, then he has the right to frolick with women. But regardlessly, time wasted on women is time that would have been used in doing something meaningful.

As a motivation, because a man wants to attract women and more women he must constantly improve himself---this is how hypergamy shapes men to become more risk taking, more adventurous, more violent and territorial and more muscular.

2. This is not to say that a man shouldn't have fun with women! No! He must first be able to manage himself, lead himself and know every route match of his wall clock before engaging women. Failure to do these, he will end up chasing women who will eventually dump him because he has dumped his purpose and mission. Not an easy task though.

3. Though you were broke, but your fine fine lady was attracted to the alpha fvcks side of hypergamy which represented itself as "intelligence" in you because that's what is needed at that particular time. Women always go for men better than them in one way or the other. Sometimes it can be extraversion, sense of humour, Randy Orton behaviour, good facial outlook, good physique etc.

4. Family instability affects both males and females; males suffer most. Instability: girls likely do better than boys. Stability: boys less slightly do better than girls.

5. To be a man is a blessing and at same time a curse. Man must struggle to become, women hardly do. So, if women are more focus it is because the burden of becoming a well respected figure doesn't wrestle with them and anytime they cry for help, one way or the other, it will be granted. Like it or not, as a man you must struggle to become!

The men that don't struggle are those that have the privilege of being born into an aristocratic or mornachial family. While women that struggle extremely are those not lucky to be in the midst of men or men not willing to help.

6. Girls are now coming out with flying colours in graduate schools and encroaching men's spaces while men are gradually withdrawing. Why? Man's strength is built and fortified on a stable family foundation and network and when these are not available what he stands on is a quicksand.

7. Again, the average woman doesn't know of this, rather than focus more on her purpose, goal or ambition, she ends up vitiating herself with ptomaine poisoning that comes from freedom without control, absence of a bold and strong virile figure in her life, social media nonsensical validations giving rise to her high sense of grandiosity without any show of competence, mimicking and forming alliances with damaged women who will not like to get drown alone in the bottomless pit they've dug for themselves.

8. Women will focus if there's always a gain, but as a leverage. And that's what your beautiful and firmly breasted fine fine lady did you bro. She wants your help; she must first assume seriousness and to cap it all, if inevitable adds pvssy to it. If possible she would have preferred you wrote the exam for her! They simply don't like stress and anything that tends to challenge their muscles and brain cells. More reason women are interested in people and men in things.

9. I structure my time and activities on a daily basis in such a way that if women appears immediately it will not result to a serious disruption of activities that will lead to no productiveness. However, it is not easy task because to know more about women you must interact with them and at the same time not losing your focus. Women drains both time and energy and if the man is a simp, his pocket included.

Another remedy to avoid distraction for a very long time as a result of mingling with women is to go ghost monk mode for a temporary period and fall back to base when you are done.

Summarily, a man must not lose focus or in one time or the other reason between his purpose and her pvssy.

Thanks.

inability to sort our your leadership and management problems may be as a result of low IQ
Yes it is! Improvements can be made though.
EducationRe: Continent With The Lowest IQ Ranking by CaveAdullam:
Nothingserious:
I don’t think that this is correct.
Can we do a control experiment?
Place representatives from the other continents in Africa and place some Africans in the other continents and try again after a while?

We have had Africans leave Africa for other continents, go there and excel, sometimes topping their contemporaries. Does that not count for Africa ?

Africa has myriads of problems with mismanagement, poor management and bad leadership. I don’t think low IQ is one of her problems.
1. This is a very bitter pill to swallow but the truth is that what the op posted is accurate. Genetics contributes to the intelligence of every individual and as well as the environment. If you are deep into neuroscience studies you would have discovered this long ago.

2. IQ test study is (one) of the studies with the highest number of samples and replication taken from all continents.

3. IQ is highly influenced by genetics. Environment also play a significant role. However, the effect of environment on IQ declines as from 14-16 years of age as genes takes over from there: the Wilson effect.

4. The polygenic risk scoring and genome wide study are still working out seriously to determine the exact genes that are responsible for intelligence.

5. Scientists currently know this accurately by the SAT and ACT scores. All scores are normally distributed using the bell curve. Mean average intelligence for Blacks is 85, America and Europe 100+ and Asians 105+

6. The twins studies has also proven this fact. Twins raised in different environment still had same IQ and environment played only little role. (The twins I have observed personally also made me confident on its findings).

7. Admixture studies still did same. White or Asian hybrids of kids did better than black hybrids.

8. Africa is backward today because of low IQ, and low IQ positively correlates with low income, crime, high risk involvement, low academic performance etc. Black American community in the USA also proves this.

Don't think too far, if you've lived long in Africa, you'll know that the above is accurate.

9. Though genetics plays an important role in IQ, but if the African environment is built to a good standard her citizens can still do wonders.

Note: in every rules there are outliers, but outliers proves the point. There are Blacks with IQ above 100, but they are rare, extremely rare to the extent that you may only find 1 in more than a 100,000 samples in the black community.

Caveat: A very long essay.

1.
CaveAdullam:
1. I don't really fancy this term: "It is Nigerian girls/black women mentality". It is all about women! Women doing their thing, and following their instincts in different locations and demographics.

2. Now, in advanced and developed countries were basic amenities are available and unemployment rate is low, women will seek for dudes with athletic figures (good genes and protection) because the economy side of hypergamy (provision) has been provided by proxy, that is, via the government.

While in an underdeveloped nation like Nigeria, women will gravitate towards men that will be able to fund and satisfy their economy side. They do frolick with broke dudes though, but for a short period of time or within intervals. The beta man is always their last option for marriage or long term relationship.

Shift back a little and you'll see clearly that hypergamy is at play whether in developed or underdeveloped countries.

3. Even in Western nations, there are still cases of Incel, simpidenmic, suicide rate, male virginity amongst others which might be weak but positively correlated with men not having access to women.

If hypergamy cannot get that one particular man, it will spread her tentacles!

Thanks.
2.

CaveAdullam:
Hypergamy works the same way everywhere around the world. However, the coin flips somehow when it comes to short term mating strategy, especially the alpha fvcks side of hypergamy. Since a beta man will always be available long term, both women in the different nations( underdeveloped and developed nations respectively) already have him at their paws and claws and will stick to him long term.

In the short term, the developed woman will outrightly portray her alpha man and speak of love, while pretentiously sideline the beta man but at the end stick to him after retirement. She can still fvck her alpha or other alphas stealthily if chance.

In the short term also for the underdeveloped woman, she will outrightly broke shame her alpha, sideline him but still fvcks him secretly. While she outrightly portrays her beta man, speak of love and appraise him and eventually get stuck to him after retirement. She can still fvck her alpha or other alphas stealthily if chance.

Hope you understand the matrix, how it twists, the differences and similarities. I trust you though!

And as for the bolded, you always do a good Job. Kudos bro!

CaveAdullam:
"Oga may dey cost aka my sponsor".

On Twitter, you will observed that western men are challenging their brothers to go do their assignments in the gym, learn game and get women. In Nigeria, a man is advised to go make more money so that he can get women.

Right here, the nature of the economy in these two different nations has affected the sexual market. And hypergamy which never dissapoints is always ready to finagle her way to get what she wants. Indeed, women are blessed! Because they will always get what they want no matter the condition. However, there are consequences that are inevitable for every of their actions. To sum it up: they are smart not wise! Only few among them which are rare and in the same genealogy as unicorns are able to maneuver successfully.

Thanks.
4.

CaveAdullam:
Women don't want to be associated with failed men, hence, they always seek for the best. However, since hypergamy got two sides it must fulfil it. That's why even though Richard got a bad reputation as a philanderer, a talkative, a bad boy, Jasmine still found one way or the other to fvck him while outrightly condemning him. The protective and good gene side of hypergamy---alpha fvcks must fullfil and manifest itself cerebrally through good fvcking!

Gerrard is already a safe long term plan because society don't like men like Richard and hypergamy doesn't share her economic side with other women; she wants it all alone for herself and children. Ergo, Gerrard must be portrayed as the official boyfriend and must be prepared graciously and effectively beforehand to fulfil his beta bucks side of hypergamy.

Lightheaded, I have entered your zone. Lol!
And lastly:
Women therefore don't like kiss and tell because they will be judged for their sultriness, treated as worthless wh0res by society and a cheap prostitute by the sisterhood. Because womanly greatest leverage is her pvssy; a first and last resort for a woman to eat of the greener pastures at the other side. And if she continues to spread her legs wide open for all and sundry she will not gain economically because men has had her freely. A poor woman is a woman that is unable to secure a rich man! She will be blamed, cursed, treated ignominiously and even ostracized mentally or socially because she's a failure for not being able to maximise the benefits that comes with having a pvssy!

But on the other hand, kiss and tell is favourable to the woman if the man involved is economically buoyant, of higher status and power. She will even tend to broadcast it by herself so that it can be seen that only she has the magical elixir that attracts the man. Since a high value man like this is not ubiquitous, she will be approbated by her sisters, become the talk and envy of the feminine coven. Others will be judged by using her as a yardstick. Automatically, she becomes the one in charge because a woman who can secure a high value man becomes high value too. Men are women's mirror in this case; woman beholding such a man already implies that she made the right choice tending to ignore the luminosity of his lapses.

Here again, hypergamy hates kiss and tell when it only favours the alpha side, because these guys are not necessarily buoyant economically but loves it when it speaks of the beta men in her tenterhooks.

Authority: don't be a simp!
