Just fyi the audio version replaces words or skips them sometimes. I noticed this over a few pieces on your Substack I listened to today. On this specific piece at one point I caught it skipping over a group of 3 or sentences wholesale. Not sure if it’s just on yours but I haven’t noticed it on other accounts so far.

Most women will change their minds mid conversation if you offer even the most basic of resistance to an idea. To varying degrees depending on identity and all that.

When I was a teenager and talking to the girls, someone would say something like "I don't like X band, they are so overrated" or "Marines are crayon eating idiots", and when I said I like X band or the Marines, would immediately turn around and say they likes some songs or that they weren't that bad.

Women's opinions about most things are simply to calibrate to the group they are in and find out what they are supposed to think.

Be the standard for the group. Hold your principles, and the women will literally change their opinions for you.

> As long as she hasn’t been too damaged by her youthful forays into the insidious world of college and career, or sunk herself too deeply into degeneracy, she can be successfully rescued from herself and from her Clown World programming.

Being able to discern damage levels will be a seminal challenge for young men looking for wives going forward, especially as Red Pill signalling becomes a mating strategy.

Most "culturally leftist" women can be reformed by a good man, for men are the head and women are the body, as St. Paul says. Scarred women are another story - there's a reason why the lives of so many female Saints who lived as harlots find redemption not in marriage, but repentant celibacy.

Where did the idea com from that finding a virtuous woman was a turnkey process?

Like it or not, you'll more than likely have a building or renovation project on your hands with almost any woman you'll find.

Blackpiller/MGTOWs will never ever get this. They are precisely the ones who need to hear it and the least capable of following through with it.

Have personally witnessed men take quite worldly women and transform them. Not every man can do it, as some men fall into the trap of submitting to their wives. But I've seen good men take women who were of the world one day, deeply, and through patience and determination made them into godly wives.

Is it always a mistake to weed out the SJW women? As a former low-status male I have to admit that I wasn't capable of changing my previous girlfriends without leveling-up. Luckily, I have read enough Sigma Game articles that I should be relatively successful converting a feminist babe, so long as they are Eastern European and an Orthodox Christian. Non-White women will probably be more based than me anyway so I'm not to concerned there.

My wife is from Mexico and was living there when we first started dating. Right after we started dating, in 2016 I went to a Trump rally and posted a photo of me at the rally to my Betabook profile. She saw it and gave me a good talking too about how Trump was bad because disrespecting Mexico or something. I thought that it was cute and told her that.

By election night 2016 she and I were engaged. I posted a photo to my Betabook of me in my MAGA hat on election night looking very happy. That photo went semi viral in her friends group in Mexico and they tried to put a lot of pressure on her to call off the wedding because she couldn't marry an evil American racist who supported the Orange Man Bad. (Side note: they were just doing it to interfere in her personal life out of envy because I'm a handsome tall White man and that's worth triple social status points in Mexico. They were trying to block my wife from getting those points.)

Fast forward to election night 2024. We were watching the returns coming in and my wife was freaked out and worried that Trump might not win. She was panicked because they tried to stop counting in Georgia and Michigan. By the time the election was called she felt great relief that Trump was coming back into office.

Women's political views change constantly, usually related to whether or not they have a strong man in their life. A woman can become a leftist as a single woman and then flip to being a hard core conservative 6 months after marrying a conservative man. If they divorce she will flip back to being a leftist and if she remarries to an even more hardcore conservative man she will become even more conservative. It's just the nature of women to be like that.

The advantage to young women today compared to young women from Gen-X 30 years ago is that they don't have to wait decades for the internet to get populated with good information before they at least stumble across it, finding better tiers of information as time goes on. They're positioned to potentially escape the programming with more fertile years intact. Furthermore, unmarried men and women have the opportunity to learn how each other think like never before.

"I'm fortunate to have lived in other countries, visited even more, and interacted with people from various cultures, nationalities, and religions. Adopting his worldview would mean giving up on the joy of mingling with people different from me."

What exactly is behind the female love of "travel" (one woman recently expressed the notion that "travel rejuvenates your soul!")? Especially since it is routinely demonstrated that "the joy of mongling with people different from me" is really just the typical "Orientalist" canard covering for a case of LETELU: Looks Exotic, Thinks Exactly Like Us.

Not long ago I would have agreed more with the "views, experiences, and joy of traveling" opinion in this thread, but recently I have heard story after story after story of women "traveling" with the implicit or explicit goal of hooking up. I have never ever traveled so I was totally detached from the culture, but yes... young, unattached women seem to have a LOT of sex when they travel.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

If she or he wants to do something that neither wants to get seen doing, then you have to get away from home, go far away and do it there. In a city where you do not have a reputation to care about.

And many agree that experiences bring more joy than expensive toys do. The rich, who do not feel much happier from even more money, an experience rejuvenates them in ways another basic toy does not. The rich have already got them. It's the poor who haven't got enough who become rich from more money and more toys.

Some people just like exploring different places. Especially ones from stories, and with someone who can share the fun.

From the Ring of Brognar, to the Palace of the Lippizaners, to the "Rites of Spring" -before it was trapped behind dirty bullet-proof l

glass (thanks for nothing "migrants")... I may never get to walk through Heidi's alpine meadow, but I've enjoyed more than my share with family and friends I loved.

The wierd thing to me is that she has no interest in preserving her home to come back to. Or letting the people whose lands she wants to explore keep theirs?

Maybe she never got to have a good, beautiful home?

>What exactly is behind the female love of "travel"

She may be looking for where she wants to live. Experiencing a place she's curious about. Getting away from the Gamma. Jumpstarting a different perspective. Getting away from someone she's thinking about marrying to see more clearly without seeing him every day (unexpected bonus: see what he's done in her absence). Going to meet someone she's only known on the internet. Enjoying different, beautiful scenery, getting to stay in a hotel or motel, ride on a train or plane or ship, see inspiring architecture, experience a different pace, give oneself permission to eat at restaurants or cafes you wouldn't normally, go to a hot spring, get a spa bath experience, take time off work and plan in a different, inspiring environment, smell the ocean and hear crashing waves, smell fir trees, see giant trees.

No. That's ex post facto rationalization. There is a single common causal drive underneath all of them, else it would not be so uquitous. It's just the natural female instinct to expand the potential mate pool beyond the immediate social circle.

No. My experience and observation. My mother was past childbearing when she took her children on a yearly 6-week drive from the Gulf Coast into Canada and back. Visiting relatives. Showing children the world outside their home. Seeing and enjoying what the world had to offer.

Your Boomer mother's habits are irrelevant with regards to explaining why young single women are obsessed with travel for travel's sake.

That's enough with your solipsistic retardery. You very much need to talk less and listen more.

This -

I had a post-college travel phase. Was not sleeping my way through countries. Earnestly love a good adventure. All those other motives ring true, but they weren’t THE POINT.

What I was looking for was a (tall, handsome, white) man with higher risk tolerance and more love for adventure than me. Was shopping the ex-pats, not the locals. Found him in a far flung location back at home, living a life that our families think is wild. But we’ve got a bunch of kids and as best we can tell are living in line with the plans that God seems to have for the two of us.

That's exactly what I was pointing out. How women happen to behave is irrelevant, but the underlying motivation is the same, which is encountering a wider variety of men.

I wonder that the love of seeing what the world has to offer instead of staying home is not considered to apply to men. A reversal of roles from the past?

Expand full comment

Your feeble attempts to redirect are entirely pointless. Men don't have any "love of seeing what the world has to offer". They're either chasing opportunity or women when they travel, but they don't romanticize it or hide their motivations from themselves like women do.

No amount of word-weaving is going to trump experience and observation.

That's it? I knew that was big part of it, but their devotion to the notion seems to extend beyond that. Perhaps I'm simply underestimating the lure of the long-haul lay.

Expand full comment

Yes, that's it. A very interesting fact that plays exactly into that is that women in the fertile days of their cycle tend to actively avoid male members of their family, because they don't want to be watched over. This of course happens on an unconscious level.

Expand full comment

It's about the possibility and the feeling that anything can happen, not the actual act itself. Women are all about how an experience might make them feel beforehand, they aren't as focused on the experience itself.

Which, of course, is why they so often do things they regret.

It's important to not be pedantic when doing this, make it light and have fun with it, don't care if she does not agree with you yet, play around, don't sound like that one cousin that is always trying to get you to buy the new crypto thing, don't turn it into a flat out debate, you are just talking about stuff. If she shows interest you feed the fire. Usually there will be one area where you find some cracks and it becomes easier to work on and break the dam.

If she does have such opinions, you need to look for signs that she is malleable for you. I think a lot of high status men take this part for granted because any woman willing to date them is malleable for them. Not so for the typical delta.

Looking for advice in a strenuous situation:

Anyone have advice on career grandmas? Is it too late? We just moved in with the in-laws who have the textbook marriage; retired out-of-work Delta & CEO grandma. She’s still embarrassing/demeaning him in public with and without him. He doesn’t defend himself.

He is home all day suggesting ways to do my SAHM job better.

Not sure if I should open up the SSH can of worms? Their lives are in defiance of it. I don’t want to come off as disruptive but I can see the male shame & female resentment take place more often than not.

Apologies if this is not the place to look for advice. I think the topic is in tune with today’s article.

"It is always a mistake - always - for a man to dismiss a woman in whom he is interested solely on the basis of her having been ideologically programmed..."

It's ironic that so many in the manosphere are rejecting women wholesale because they don't recognize woman's dynamic nature, when the creatures behind feminism do recognize it and have done everything they can to budget for it. They know that any feminist can lose her programming in the circumstances our Host describes. At that point, she has immunity to the mind-virus and can pass on that immunity to her children. The enemy shudders at this possibility. This is a major motive behind the push to administer hormones to adolescent girls right now: sterilize them so that, even should she repent later, the joy of children is forever out of reach.

But like all their crafty schemes, it shall turn against them; they shall fall into the pit that they have dug. And we can participate in that noble work, if we are willing to reject the consumerist assumptions about relationships and approach them like they really are: a rescue mission.

I grew up on stories of the hero rescuing the princess from the monster/dragon. Only as I leave my youth behind do I realize just how real those stories are. It's easy to miss; in our world the Dragon is invisible, his lies are crafty, and his victims often don't want to be rescued. But a man doesn't leave someone to be the Dragon's dinner just because she thinks her prison is a palace.

99% of the manosphere is like that because it's easier to be depressive. The depressive mind is fixed. And the darkness doesn't expect you to act. The optimistic mind isn't fixed. The hopeful wants to play. As happy children play. Parents make sure their kids' lives are protected and safe from as many of the dangers. Innocence lost is lost forever. You can't play for the kids, the play which kids need to pick up themselves. Just as you can't force the negative guys in the manosphere to be disgusted with the hopeless fear-mongering.

The side of the light always expects you to do work. And it might go poorly. To stop being depressive and to be optimistic, it requires you to go to the gym, learn game and everything else. And when you've done that, you might still fail. She still gets to reject you. And that could be scary. All of that work you've succeeded with could lead to nothing.

When it's halftime, and your team is losing 0-3, the depressives have quit. If they're even on the team, to begin with. As you hear them whine. It's fixed. 'Women are like this, and we can't do anything about it.' But the optimistic guys, they still want to play. Sure, you're losing and you can admit that you've done awful plays. They want to turn the 0-3 to 4-3. And they're willing to work twice as hard to change that. It's impossible, but they're somehow smiling and talking about there is still time left on the clock, so let's go out and win this. What else are we going to do?

The depressive guys aren't willing to change their views about what women aren't. The optimistic guys accept that women are what women are. And they're willing to change themselves.

Or the mentalisation. Two different guys with different heads or minds who want to work with the other guy need to adapt and predict the other guy. What and how does the other guy think about this? If you speak German and talk with the French guy, you need to pause and rewrite your text so it lands well with him.

It's much easier to be empathic when you stop believing that the other is in the same position as you are.

Regarding stories the other dynamic worth considering is Romulus and "Rape of the Sabine women". When the barbaric Romulus and his warriors captured the Sabine women, it's not like the Sabines were amenable to trad-barbarian-wife lifestyle. However they came to accept it to the point where they threw themselves between the Romans and angry Sabine soldiery to stop retribution, according to the story.

The discordant part is that many men on the right style themselves as barbarians or outlaws living in the ruins of Rome 2.0 but voice their courtship expectations as if they were arranged marriage nobility.

A) Manosphere content revolves mostly around getting laid, so they don't actually tell, or teach guys how to deprogram a chick.

B) It is aimed at low SSH men who will rarely successfully apply the lessons, or truly improve themselves.

C) They feed into the red pill rage because that's where the $$$ is. It's the angry incels who pay for subscriptions, and listen to that stuff religiously.

Every woman has grown up playing with dolls, doll houses. As little girls, they dream of having a married life with kids. Its sad when that dream is unattainable. Those that are able to have children face a significant challenge as the knowledge on how to carry babies is lost. Raising wolves vs rabbits is also important.
