You Can't Save Her

A cogent reason to avoid trying to save bad women

A real world example of a Captain, a Ho, and his failure to save her.

There was this girl that I grew up with and everyone wanted her. She turned me down as well as a bunch of my friends. She described us as boring or lames. She ended up dating a scammer. He knocked her up and just disappeared. Fast forward a few years and she is hitting up one of my boys to finally give him a chance to go out with her.

So, you already know how this is going to go, right? Even those of you who are good, kind-hearted Deltas, who think the best of everyone and have never met an attractive woman you couldn’t somehow put on a pedestal must know how this is going to go, right?

I wish I could say he turned her down but he ended up dating her until she cheated on him

Quelle surprise! Cue the shocked face!

Never forget that women possess neither empathy nor gratitude. Not only is it not in their nature, their survival depends upon their dynamism. To put it in sports terms, they have “cornerback memory”. Just as the cornerback cannot function correctly if he does not promptly forget the previous play on which he was burned by the opposing wide receiver and reset, a woman cannot navigate the complicated shoals of her social world without focusing on what lies before her, not what lies in the distant past of yesterday.

Be careful what you wish. Once you save her, she no longer needs you.

As Janet Jackson said, “what have you done for me lately?”

However - and this is very important - there is absolutely no point whatsoever in doing any of these things:

• Informing a woman about the nature of women.

• Complaining to a woman about her failure to behave according to male standards.

• Criticizing a woman for failing to demonstrate qualities she does not possess.

• Expecting a woman to exhibit gratitude or modify her behavior in any way in response to giving her something or providing her with a service.

• Taking offense when a woman fails to show any interest in your feelings, emotions, or perspective.

In fact, it is not only a mistake, it is a category error to place any trust in anything that comes out of a woman’s mouth, whether it is positive or negative. What a woman expresses is indicative of how she feels at the moment, and nothing else. The female capacity for rationalization is very highly developed; only VHIQ and UHIQ men can even begin to approximate the average woman’s ability to rationalize and convince herself of the truth of a falsehood.

This, for example, is how a woman can, quite genuinely, convince herself that her friend’s divorce is good for the children, despite all of the historical, statistical, and personally observable evidence to the contrary. The enthymeme - or emotional pseudo-syllogism - is constructed thusly.

1. Major Premise: The personal happiness of their mother is good for the children.

2. Minor Premise: My friend will be personally happier if she divorces her husband.

3. Conclusion: It will be good for her children if my friend divorces her husband.

The correct way to manage female dynamism is to stay the course. A good woman will follow her husband’s lead, regardless of what she might say about it or about him. These are the pick-me girls and the ride-or-die chicks whose loyalty to their man is as admirable and unshakeable as it is mysterious to the average man.

Ride or die isn’t merely a metaphor. It’s the literal risk a woman takes when she places her trust in a man on a motorcycle.

If you’re fortunate enough to encounter a woman who is willing to ride or die with you, never forget that the level of trust and loyalty she is showing you vastly exceeds that which any man will ever have in you, but is much more important than her natural inability to feel empathy or gratitude. Don’t worry about her reasons. You won’t understand them anyhow. Actions always speak louder than words, and this is particularly true for women, although Ruth, the original Ride-or-Die girl, did beautifully articulate both her essence and her future actions.

Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

– Ruth 1:16
