Going now into the further reaches of this strain of thought, we must now confront the elephant in the room and reveal something profoundly disturbing about human nature and morality.
The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock is the seminal piece of poetry from the 20th century. It is not romantic. It is anti-romantic. Its protagonist is the archetypical beta male. It sheds a light on an unspoken historical and present trend that began in the 20th century – the failure of the beta mating strategy.
The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock is the cry of the beta male.
Nothing in the human condition engenders more sheer disgust and irate hatred in a woman, even the staunchest adherent of feminism, more than a died in the wool beta male who caves in to her every fleeting demand and desire. A woman will in the long run even hate you less if you insult her, abuse her, hate her, hit her, have the opposite political/social/religious beliefs, are a criminal, are a fraud and ultimately even kill members of her family and tribe than if you singularly demonstrate abject beta servitude and spinelessness.
Many modern men are genuinely confused by this.
Its simple, women hate weakness.
…Evolution’s a bitch.
Not in the sense though of a nurse aiding a hospital’s injured patients or a psychologist counselling troubled teens but weakness in their immediate social grouping/tribe and partner i.e. only in the instances where her resource gathering capability is directly impinged.
In today’s world, from a sexual market perspective, being nice is a weakness. It telegraphs to a girl like nothing else that you lack dominance, power and social status. Any idiot can be nice. Why? Because they want to supplicate. How many dictators are nice? None.
I’m not saying for you to become an asshole. The world would be shit if everyone was an asshole. But that’s what women feel is a reliable signal of worth in terms of a Darwinian winning ticket. Which leads me to the conclusion that what every women really wants in a man is fundamentally incompatible with a civil society (Or should I say that the society women select for in their mating strategies is fundamentally incompatible with feminism?…I digress). Perhaps some of the more thoughtful of them know this and therefore continue to promulgate the ‘sensitive man’ myth in order to keep things from turning into the Congo.
Its not that women won’t act nice if you sit and roll over and play dead when she tells you to (although that will become like nails on a chalkboard to her eventually). I’m speaking purely in sexual terms here. Which in the end is the ultimate way a woman shows she likes you. Unless you are of the belief that platonic love can be as powerful as love, which I personally am not.
Its dark I admit. One of the tenets of humanism is that we can override our biological instincts and impulses. Show me the woman that can do that, and I’ll marry her (but only if I too, can override my biological impulse to have a physically attractive wife!). Obviously modern women have a lot of trouble marrying their survival instinct with their Disney-esque acculturation and feminist principles. Yet even the most staunch feminist at the end of the day still wants an alpha male.
An analogy may be made to a fly’s instinct is to always go towards the light – even an electric light that will kill the fly. Evolution selected for the trait as insects used the light of the moon to navigate their surroundings. This trait is clearly compromised as a viable survival instinct today.
Similarly, once upon a time before civilisation, alpha traits were indeed a strong and reliable indicator for the provision of resources and security for a woman. Fortunately or unfortunately, we now find ourselves in the counter-intuitive situation where alpha traits are not correlated with an ability to amass resources and rather beta traits are more correlated. What the manosphere won’t tell you is that true natural born alphas these days aren’t living it up in a hot-tub in Vegas. They’re usually listless and unproductive members of society, often languishing in prisons, with drug problems or dead end jobs. In other words, ‘losers’ as you and I would conventionally define it. On the other hand reliable betas are adept at following prescribed rules and norms, following orders from their boss, taking it up the ass from their political and religious leaders and generally putting in as much effort as possible to generate a reliable stream of resources so that they can hand it over to their wives and girlfriends for sex. Alphas know the sacred truth – you don’t need to exchange resources for sex.
Thus, we have the spectacle of hypergamy, where women still ‘irrationally’ desire the seed of the alpha to placate her evolutionary selection process but is confronted with the reality that Beta Mc Office Chump is the person who will realistically be able to send her to a suburban home, with a nice car and college education for her offspring.
The holy grail for most women is therefore to mate with an Alpha and make Beta Mc Office Chump a cuckold. Perhaps feminism will eventually find a way to make this a social norm of some sort.
Of course, even this model is going out of date. Women can now provide for themselves in a modern economy. Some women would rather hold out for an Alpha, even if it takes them their whole life – the George Clooney effect. Beta Mc Office Chump may now consider himself lucky if he even gets to become a cuckold!
Yet while I weep for the involuntary beta Prufrock and his dire plight, let me finish not so much on a positive but serene note.
While we may have questions about the morality of a upper tier advanced female mating strategy and the specific traits it selects for the next generation of human beings, we cannot as a (subjective) matter of justice, assign blame to women. This is where the manosphere completely loses me in fact and why it will always be an underground phenomenon – its foundations are based on a curious sense of betrayal.
If you were a woman wouldn’t you be doing the same thing? Nobody blames a guy living on a desert island with 10 bikini models for banging them all. That’s a hypothetical. Simply because we live in a time, due to economics, technology, and other factors that a woman actually can have sex with any man she wants should not cause indignation. You simply can’t fault a woman or any human being for maximising their sexual potential.
People draw straws before they live their lives. Some men may regret being born men these days. I can assure you though, that throughout most of human history, many many more women regretted being born women.
So while men can lament a time when things were easier, nay when having a woman came with the other 90% of stuff in life that Woody Allen describes one gets just by ‘showing up’, you know in the end, life is a lot fucking easier and better in almost every other respect for men than our forefathers.
As Jim Rohn would say: “Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better”.
