Catholic Mafia: Recent Episodes

Catholic Mafia

Sinners becoming Saints; Fill the earth & subdue it.

Every male reader of the Chateau needs to see this movie, if for no other reason than to absorb the lessons it offers as a cautionary tale.

BLUE Valentine

Self-satisfaction will see a man through all sorts of tribulations. Radiating confidence, deserved or irrational, is what is most attractive to women. This man looks confident, and his wife stands by him. She has the mousy, hunched over posture of a woman in love. All else that’s objectively negative about him fades to insignificance in the matter of what stirs her heart.

As a responsible father the setbacks you most want your son to avoid are:

One-itis.
LJBF.
Surprise dumpings.
Grinding celibacy.
Divorce.
Marriage to an ugly feminist.

Give him the knowledge and tools to circumvent those unhappy fates and the wisdom of your experience and you will be a hero to him for life.

My only advice I have for the young man who emailed me:

Stop beating up on yourself and acting so goddamned melodramatic. You have much insight for your age. Your intelligence will take you far. Now what you need is calm and wisdom.
This too shall pass.
The big picture trumps the little picture.
Stay away from your mother as much as humanly possible. She is damaged goods for you. Single moms, even your own flesh and blood, are poison for your growth as a man and a ladykiller.
For that matter, stay away from your father. Unless he is willing to change, he will only continue to infect you with his beta loser stench. Harsh words, I know, but your well-being trumps all.
If you are not ready to give up on either of your parents, then show your father this blog. Tell him to read from day one. Enlightenment is a mouse click away.
Show your mother this blog too. Expect hysterics.
Stand up to your mother. From what you have written, she sounds like an emotional vampire who demands payment in obeisance and comes to loathe those who give her what she wants. Fuck that noise. Get back to the cocky/funny that you used to be around her.
If all the above fail, consider physically moving away from these parasites. Friends, family, everyone. Gather your savings, quit your job, and move to a new city or even a new country.
Someday you will die. But today is not that day. Now is the time to live.

Now, instead of toiling for years as a cog in the machine, giving til it hurt, to win the heart of a marriageable woman in a socially-approved manner, men were, in effect, mimicking the traditional alpha male through a process of data compression. The confident body language and cocky humor of the CEO or BigLaw sleaze-bag could be had by the common man for pennies on the dollar.

Most men scoff at this. It takes many demonstrations by pioneers before the average guy will lose his long-held beliefs about how the world works. Even those guys who know about game and have immersed themselves in it like a religious follower at a tent revival find it difficult to change their old ways...

Marriage, rigged as it is against men in its current configuration, is still the norm people aspire to.

The girl you are dating is head over heels in love with you: you are in the do-no-wrong zone, my friend... There’s a catch -- this magic window only lasts about three months... The downside with this scenario is that you have to date at least two points lower than your market value equivalent.

The Chateau Gift-Buying Guide.

If she is a mistress:

Something perishable, like a dinner or bouquet of flowers. You don’t want evidence of your infidelity lingering on either you or her.

Upside: Keeps her expectations low. If you give her expensive stuff she’ll assume you’re thinking of leaving your wife to be with her.

Downside: A mistress always has you by the balls, unless you have managed the trick of persuading your wife to the spiritual benefits of polygyny. Go cheap on the gifts and she may show up at your front door at 2 A.M. with a bag of candy.

If she is a Christmas Eve one night stand:

a six-pack of Michelob Light.

If she is three-week-old fresh pussy:

Be careful! Many a man has learnt a painful financial lesson when his loins were in charge of his credit card. Best bet: don’t buy the potential slut anything.

If she is a fling (you’ve been dating for fewer than three months, and plan to keep it that way):

For birthdays, tickets to a show for a band both you and her like. Use her as a pawn to flirt with hipster chicks at the show.

For Christmas, a scarf and a bottle of Chivas. Drink until she’s hot and/or interesting.

If she is in the three to four month limbo between a fling and a girlfriend, and you’re not sure if she’s the one:

For birthdays, tickets to a show for a band she likes.

For Christmas, a stuffed animal with a homemade card.

If she is your girlfriend, #1 crush:

For birthdays or anniversaries, bracelet or necklace if you are a beta. A puppy if you are a greater beta. A hot cocktail dress with accompanying lingerie if you are an alpha. A homemade mix tape if you are a super alpha.

For Christmas, ditch the conventional trinkets of romantic servitude in favor of fun and funny.

Maxim #140: The more expensive or thoughtful the gift you give a girl, the greater the risk that she will subconsciously begin to think she is too good for you.

Corollary: If you are dating out of your league, or you are dating a young hot babe in her prime, you should do the exact opposite of what everyone will tell you to do -- do not buy her expensive gifts.

If she’s your aging wife in a country with divorce laws that favor the husband:

Nothing.

If she’s your aging wife in the USA:

Refinance the mortgage to buy her the moon.

If she is girl #3 in your harem:

Nothing.

If you’re trying to dump her:

A toaster oven. Or kitty litter if you’re a cheap bastard.

Maximize your odds of a bang with the torment of your dreams:

Always talk about the girls you are dating, fucking, or seeking the same from to your girl “friend”.
Limit your friendzone time to drinking, shows, art exhibits, and house parties.
Immediately and without qualification change the subject when your girl “friend” begins talking about a guy she likes, or the dudes she’s fucking or wants to fuck.
Don’t make a production of her wistful musings about other guys, though.
You’re going to want to invoke feelings of latent jealousy as much as possible.
Use her as a target for practicing your teasing skills.
Once in a while, she’s going to unload that “I fucked a hot dude last night” conversation bomb. Do not react negatively.
Your one advantage, if you can call it that, is that you are the guy who is “there for her” when times are tough and she needs a shoulder to cry on. Occasionally, like when Jupiter aligns with Uranus and her oxytocin levels are off the charts, a girl will feel strong intimate feelings for the emotionally available and sensitive beta male. That’s when you leap in.
Finally, preemptively dump her after the first time you bang her. Yes that’s right, unceremoniously dump the girl of your dreams.
If you are slow to act, and she manages to “dump” you first, you have a counter maneuver. Agree with her. Then in the days immediately following, cut off all contact for a few weeks – or months, as the circumstances require.

My suggestions for how losers in love can turn their fortunes around without lowering their standards:

Travel to an economically depressed second tier country like Russia or its East European neighbors where the culture is not too different and the women are known hot commodities.

Downside: avoid getting conned.

Not keen on the hassle of traveling and importing a first rate piece of ass? Try scooping up the ones who shell out their own travel expenses and come here to the U.S.

Downside: must get to these girls BEFORE she realizes that American women are shrieking ball-busting self-absorbed harpies with serious BMI issues pedestalized by beta men.

Move to the Heartland. Money will go farther, style will be intriguing, marginally witty jokes will get more mileage.

Downsides: obesity epidemic, resentful local boys prone to violence, bastard children, smell of manure.

Lie.

Downside: forget about long term relationships.

Hit on damaged goods.

Downsides: STD's, kids, short shelf lives.

Castration. Nothing removes neediness like zero sex drive.

Downside: zero sex drive.

As the “negative” traits accumulate, the odds of hot girl sex increase exponentially rather than linearly.

1) Over 25.

Odds increase by: +10% for each additional year, -20% at age 30, and +30% for ages 31 and up.

2) Single Mom.

Odds increase by: 50% for the first kid, 85% if a Downs Syndrome kid, 20% for each additional kid.

3) Physical Deformity.

Odds increase by: 20 – 150%, depending on severity of disfigurement.

4) Former Fatty.

Odds increase by: 10 – 70%, depending on length and heft of fat phase.

5) Recent Divorcee.

Odds increase by: 20% if she filed for divorce, 40% if her ex filed for divorce.

6) Foreigner.

Odds increase by: 60% if she is from a patriarchal culture like Russia, 30% if she is from a feminized culture like Sweden, 80% if she is from a dirt poor patriarchal culture and she’s trying to get a green card.

Conclusion:

Beta, desperate, and settling is no way to go through life, son.

Like dogs, women will walk all over you if you let them.

Like dogs, women will test you for your alpha status the moment you show weakness.

Like dogs, women need to be trained.

Like dogs, women respond best to strong verbal and nonverbal commands.

Like dogs, women will eventually take to the leash, metaphorical or literal.

Like dogs, women want to be told to roll over.

Like dogs, women will hump anything if you allow them.

Ectomorphs also have major pickup flaws which they must address, or they will find the game of love to be a mountain too high to climb.

An immobilizing hesitancy to approach girls or open sets.
An inability to react promptly to shit tests.
Calibration.
Alpha male voice and body projection.
Kino. Ectos are uncomfortable touching women.

The mesomorph is your classic aloof, asshole alpha male. He’s not trying to be an inconsiderate jerk - well, not always - he just is...

Because the mesomorph is a man of occasionally thoughtless action, direct game will be his bread and butter...

Mesomorphs’ love for action and escalation means that they are often bad at calibrating women’s receptiveness. The classic meso is the gung-ho military man who misreads a woman’s interest and bungles the pickup by being too aggressive and obstinate...

A mesomorph has to train himself to be better at reading women’s signals, and to be more refined at the art of manipulative pullbacks. He’s got the body language and the physical escalation nailed down; now he needs to work on his empathy and developing an attitude of scarcity to complement his transparent, take-charge approach mentality.

In summary, endomorph game should be adapted toward building value through social fearlessness, humor, deep rapport and savvy group set management. Endomorphs will rarely get AMOG'ed because they are so friendly and sincere – and lacking in threatening mesomorphic musculature – that they put other men at ease. Once endos are welcomed into a group, which usually happens quickly, they have to avoid the temptation to be a group plaything, and instead to focus on separating the target from her friends.

“Hey!

I said... don’t use that fucking word with me again...... Got it?”

The next twenty minutes, she is withdrawn, her demeanor chastened and her arms modestly crossed in her lap. You swivel to face the group and smile warmly. Instead of forcing the conversation to return to an artificial crescendo, you remain calm and allow the prior energy level to reformulate on its own. Which it does, almost. Eventually, even your girl has managed to reconstitute herself, although you note with great pride the look of hatred her ugly B.F.F. shoots you.

What do you think happened next?

Let us turn to the lyrics of Alter Ego Neil Diamond:

Turn on your snatch spigot,

let it flow wherever you go,

let it make a happy hole,

for all the world to see.

Turn on your snatch spigot,

in the middle of a young boy’s dream,

don’t wake me up too soon,

gonna take a ride across your poon...

you and me.

Anti-game is trivial.

get misty-eyed at emotional shit.
bore her with details.
constantly let her re-frame.
buy her drinks, outside of a date context.
compliment her gratuitously.
talk about your hobbies with oblivious enthusiasm.
never ask her a question.
never look away.
let her see your shit-eating smile.
accede to her manipulative horseshit.
never, ever say “horseshit” in conversation.

More anti-game behaviors and traits:

Constantly remind her how happy you are to be with her.
Laugh at your own jokes.
Laugh uproariously at her “jokes”.
Feed her need for gossip.
Put up with her shit an order of magnitude more frequently than she puts up with your shit.
Ask yes or no or one-word answer type questions.
Act contrite when she catches you checking out her body.
Stare, look away, stare, look away, stare, look away.
Ask her if she has a condom.
Cuddle her so long that she is the one to first start wriggling free.
Hold in farts around her until your colon bursts.
Fidget, talk fast, mumble, lean in, babble tiresomely like a girl who has a heavy emotional burden to unload.
Talk incessantly about the state of the relationship.
Whine about how hard life is.
Betray too much enthusiasm when she tells you about something cool she did.
Act impressed with her educational credentials or career success.
Sympathize with her bitching about badboy exes.
Agree to her tacit sex timetable.
Get wrathfully jealous every time she checks out a dude or talks about another guy.
Spitefully berate her genuine accomplishments.
Say crap like “I don’t deserve you” with sincerity.
Be a kitchen bitch.
Drop everything you like to do to do everything she likes to do.
Wanly smile when she denigrates you to her friends.
Make videos like this nauseating beta dweeb trying to win an ex- back.
Resort to saying “I suppose you’re right” every time she accuses you of some character defect.
Constantly, and insipidly, ask her if she “likes it this way” during lovemaking.
Forget the art of plain old fucking.
Turn to face her fully as soon as you open a girl. Stay that way while she continues giving you her profile.
Buying girls drinks as a MEANS OF OPENING THEM.
Muck up cold reads until they sound like interrogations.
Show up more than five minutes early for dates.
Go for the night-ending kiss, get denied, follow up by shouting at her as she’s leaving that you’ll call her.
Skip on the way home after a “successful” date that did not end in sex.
Apologize for infractions she has not even accused you of.
Support feminism. Make a big show of it.
Ingratiate yourself to her.
Know a little too much about the TV wasteland, articles in the Style section of any major newspaper, or women’s fashion.
Make breakfast for her after the first night together.
Follow her from bar to bar.
Join her plans instead of inviting her to join your plans.
Agree to meet her friends before you have sexed her.
Wait in the exact same spot for her to return after she has told you she’ll be gone for ten minutes.
Pine over, or disparage, your ex on a first date.
Listen to her intently when she talks about her exes.
Always follow her conversational lead.
Touch her hair too soon.
Sit with your legs crossed. Acceptable only if you are an office executive.
Sweat profusely from anything other than vigorous exercise, sex or fighting.
Eagerly say yes to every one of her requests.
Be hopelessly indecisive.

When a girl asks you to do something for or with her, instead of following her request to the tee you should be thinking how you can screw around with her expectation.

Maxim #91. Women will screech louder the closer your words get to damaging or exposing vulnerabilities in their sexual market value.

Basic rules of engagement:

You don’t have to send a pic of your own penis.
If you send a pic of your own penis with authenticity in mind, make sure you are packing heat.
Send a flaccid penis.
Include the balls some way.
Shoot from below.

Personally – I would run penis pic game, but a phone with a 24 inch screen hasn’t been invented yet.

Women who make it obvious they are fishing for compliments generally fall in three main camps:

Hot babes who live and die by continual positive feedback on either their beauty - from aloof men they like - or their personality/smarts - from women and men who only recognize them for their beauty.
Aging beauties who need reassurances in the face of their impending expiration.
Women in relationships who are feeling anxiety that their men are losing interest in them.

If you are truly worried that your police record will cost you lays and love, you should consider the misinformation move. Just toss out a nickname you go by so that she can’t find your record online. If, at some distant future date, you and her are still together, you may reveal the full extent of your badass-ness. It will be like love is blossoming all over again for her. She will remember the moment as possibly the greatest gift a man has ever given her.

Six questions:

“You have a lover, a man who is everything to you. He lives apart from you, but within walking distance. One day you decide to visit him. You have two paths you can take to get to his home. One is a short but boring path that will get you there quickly. The other is a long but scenic path with many beautiful sites that will take longer. Which do you take?”
“Along the path you come across rose bushes. The roses come in two colors -- red and white. You decide you want to pick some roses for your lover. You are allowed to pick twenty roses of any combination of red or white. How many red and how many white roses do you pick?”
“You arrive at your lover’s home and knock on the door. A family member opens the door. Do you ask to be let in so you can go to his room to see him, or do you ask the family member to bring him to the door?”
“You go up to his bedroom and he is not there. You want to leave the roses in his room. Do you leave them on his windowsill or on his bed?"
“Your lover returns and you two spend the night together making sweet sweet sex. You both fall asleep and in the morning you wake up first. You lean over to his side of the bed to see if he is awake. Is he awake or still sleeping?”
“It’s the end of the day and time for you to say goodbye to your lover and go home. As before, you are presented with two paths to get home -- a long but scenic path and a short but boring path. Which path do you take?”

“The way he handles the hot girls in my office is nothing short of amazing.”

“How so?”

“Girls will go up to him and say ‘Good morning, Joe!’, and Joe will bark back ‘You’re crazy don’t even talk to me!'”

“Wow. Nuclear neg.”

“If a girl says ‘Hi’ to him, he’ll say ‘Don’t kiss me, I have a girlfriend.’ If she gets too far into his personal space, he’ll scold her: ‘Don’t touch me! You’re not my girlfriend.'”

“And the girls find this charming?”

“You wouldn’t believe it."

Children’s games that you should play with women you intend to bang:

The Repeating Game.
Tag.
Stop Touching Me.
Simon Says.
Sidewalk Cracks.
Thumb Wrestling.

If she punches you after losing, she’s D.T.F.

Here are some actions and lines you can use when a woman has challenged you - and revealed her blossoming attraction for you.

You have to be a bit of an actor to pull some of these off, but seduction is, in its essence, the art of acting... The key to many of these is a bemused or neutral facial expression. Body language should be slow and deliberate, bordering on instilling discomfort.

Arch eyebrows. Stare at her for three seconds. Look away.
Look her over with neutral expression, draw in lips, slowly nod head, and exhale “yeeeeeeeahhh.....”
Sarcastically, “Wow, so cold, so cold. mmhmmm.”
“Goooooddamnit.” Act disappointed, shake head, frown. “I thought you were different.”
“Hmm,” pause pause pause “you’re off to a good start, I see.”
“Just what I needed tonight.” Smirk a little here. “A ballbuster.”
Stare, cock head, blank face. “Charming.”
“I’m sorry, did you say something?”
Smile broadly and phonily. “All right! This is fun!” Raise your glass to her, like a toast.
“I thought I was the biggest bitch here.” To be used sparingly on especially hot women with serious bitch complexes.
Exhale loudly and slowly. Put your drink on the bar. Turn to face her. Relax arms and clasp your hands together.
“Your games are for children.”
Straight face, “I’m glad I got to know you.” Excuse yourself politely from her company.
“I bet you say that to all the men who secretly make you a little nervous. Like a schoolgirl.”
Furrow your brow, cock head, like your examining a zit on her face. “You’re.... weirdly fascinating.”
“Thanks for not making this too easy/polite/friendly.”
“It’s a good thing I met you. Nice girls bore me.”
“I’ve got a question. Does this normally work for you?”
“Well.” Raise your glass to her. Smile. Nod in appreciation. “Just what I expected.”
“I’ve heard about girls like you.” Wait for a reply. “Nothing good, I’m afraid.”
“C+.” She will ask what you’re talking about. “Your flirting skills. Not bad, room for improvement if you apply yourself.”
Make a fake pained expression.
Appear befuddled. “Your question seems silly to me.”
“I’ve gotta hand it to you. I was expecting a sane, boring girl.”
“Never-mind.”
“Hold that thought.” Drink, talk to the bartender or a friend, or just stare at the wall. She will expect you to return to the conversation. You won’t.
Duct tape her mouth. “That’s better.”

One of the above is a joke.

GIRL: what do you think of feminism?

You.

– great for my sex life!

– child’s play.

– it’s like religion. makes people feel good.

– great! girls buy me drinks now.

– dunno. never ate one.

– fucking LOVE it. premarital sex for the win!

– you mean lesbianism?

– i don’t.

– love it. i’d be married if it wasn’t for feminism.

– it’s bursting with fruit flavor.

– you’ll have to ask my grandma.

– it’s cute!

GIRL: what do you think of feminists?

You:

– they’re sexy underneath.

– beautiful on the inside.

– so smart! guys love that about girls. yup, being totally serious here.

– they ask weird questions.

– love chicks who rock the pit hair. shows they’re secure in their masculinity.

– so cute!

– best divorcees in the world.

– love 'em. most of them are secretly giggling little schoolgirls once you get to know them.

– i’d tell you but then you’d have to buy me a drink.

GIRL: are you a feminist?

YOU:

– i wish, but i was born with a penis.

– that’s what my doctor says.

– when it’s convenient.

– for you, any time sweet cheeks.

– are you flirting with me?

– i’m not wearing any underwear, so, yeah.

A big mistake I see a lot of men making -- besides an inability to recognize a shit test when it is leveled at them -- is sounding spiteful in response. The critical distinction to make when volleying a shit test is to avoid confusing sneering umbrage for cocky indifference. The line is surprisingly thin... Be the latter.

Good rule of thumb: if your reply to a shit test would sound like it is coming from a man who cares that his feelings were bruised, don’t say it.

You’ll note three things in my response.

1) I didn’t back off from my initial assertion. Nothing kills tingles faster than defensiveness or apologia.

2) I continued the ruse under the assumption that my insidious neg was actually a compliment.

3) I added the qualifier “usually” as a means of keeping her hamster in full throttle spin mode.

Negs often can be as simple as one-word descriptions that are as easily interpreted as unflattering observations as they are as compliments; and therein lies their effectiveness...

"modest.

strict.

humble.

wallflower.

unassuming.

strait-laced.

serious.

responsible.

introverted.

conservative.

upright.

polite.

proper.

good person.

moral.

respectable.

hard-headed.

nonconformist.

don’t care about other people’s opinions.

fastidious.

overeager.

excited to be here.

innocent.

out of her element.

guarded.

social butterfly.

above it all.

queen bee.

march to her own drummer.

individualist.

social/fashion/party maven.

netflix kind of girl.

calm.

low-key.

put up a facade for the crowd.

judgmental.

keep to herself.

energized by the scene.

natural performer.

happiest person here.

brooding.

good friend qualities.

easy to approach.

careful.

tentative."

You’ll also note that a lot of these unnervingly ambiguous observations focus on a girl’s presumed inability to cut loose and have some fun. They are designed, in other words, to eradicate anti-slut defenses and persuade her to open up... to you, the fearless judger of her feminine worth.

Pre-selection comes in many flavors.

Be seen in the company of beautiful women.
Embed references to women in stories about yourself.
Allude to competitor women attracted to you, but without bragging.

Classic D.H.V. – demonstration of higher value.

Don’t call back right away.

Never buy better gifts for her.

Dress better than her on random days.

Take frequent leaves of absence. Preferably international.

Drag your feet about introducing her to your friends and family.

Never give her spare keys to your place.

Don’t live together.

Subtly acknowledge other girls flirting with you.

Don’t ask questions about her.

Get drunk without her.

Cancel dates.

Show flashes of anger.

Occasionally be emotionally distant.

Muse wistfully about past lovers.

Never take her on dinner dates before you’ve had sex with her.

Never agree to meet her friends before you’ve had sex with her.

Never spend more than the price of a few high alcohol content drinks on her before you’ve had sex with her.

Never do her a favor before you’ve had sex with her.

Always try to get her to do you a favor before you’ve had sex with her. COMPLIANCE TESTS. These are the male version of shit tests.

Never introduce her to anyone you know before you’ve had sex with her, unless its former hot girlfriends or friends who happen to be hot girls.

When you receive texts and phone calls in her company, never tell her who they’re from.

Password protect EVERYTHING.

Do not have a Facebook profile. If you do, it is filled with pics of you and an assortment of hot chicks – No exceptions.

On the morning of a first or second date with her, send her this cryptic text message: “Change of plans.”

When at her place, eat all her food, leave the seat up, change her TV channels, and torture her cat. Act like it’s your second home.

Do all of the above and you will be a god to her.

When she sees you as a god, she is:

– less likely to stray.

– more likely to do anal.

– less likely to bitch and moan.

– more likely to wear lingerie every day of the week.

– less likely to dump or divorce you.

– more likely to forgive your cheating.

– less likely to make demands of you.

– more likely to cater to your needs.

Does that sound good to you?

“You’re very brave to come over to talk with me.”

“Your flirting is charming.”

“As we’re sitting here talking I can tell you seem really happy.”

“Wow! Don’t get too excited.”

“Hmm. Your hands are shaking.”

“Hope I didn’t make you wait too long.”

“Your answers tell me that you are drawn to men who break your heart.”

“You have a quirky personality. I have a friend -- he’s been single a while; I guess he’s picky -- who would totally get you.”

“You’re not like most women. You seem like you want to know about me more than you want to talk about yourself.”

“Your eyes are dancing.”

“I have a confession to make. I forgot your name.”

“A lot of girls in this city come on too strong with men. I’m glad you can talk with me without getting weird.”

“This is a pleasant surprise. You’re winning me over.”

“It’s complicated.”

Commit it to memory and deploy liberally.

GIRL: So are you dating anyone right now?

YOU: It’s complicated.

GIRL: Just how many girls have you been with?

YOU: It’s complicated.

GIRL: What are you looking for?

YOU: It’s complicated.

GIRL: Will you buy me a drink?

YOU: It’s complicated.

GIRL: You’re not going to try to stick it in my ass tonight, are you?

YOU: It’s complicated.

GIRL: swoon

Girl: “I have a boyfriend.....”

Man: “Wow....amazing...seriously, that’s amazing!”

Girl: “What? That I have a boyfriend?”

Man: “No, that I’ve barely known you for 5 minutes and you’re already telling me your problems.”

Girl: “l.m.a.o.!”

“Whoa, not so fast. We’re just talking here, ok? Don’t get the wrong idea.”

“You really thought I was hitting on you?”

“No worries. You’re not my type.”

“So does my girlfriend.”

Girl: “I have a boyfriend.”

Man: “Hey, my dog can juggle.”

Girl: “What?”

Man: “I’m sorry, I thought we were talking about shit that didn’t matter.”

“I don’t care.”

“That’s OK, I’m not the jealous type.”

“Your parents must be proud.” Same as above.

“Oh man, I’m so embarrassed. I thought you were a lesbian.”

“Are you allowed to talk to other men without his permission?”

Examples:

Flush the toilet when she’s in the shower.

Snap wet towel at her butt.

Should just barely cross line of genuine pain.

“Happy Valentine’s Day!” Give her a wrapped box of condoms.

Put a “pinch my butt” post-it note on her back as she’s heading out for work.

Slip her car into neutral when she’s driving.

Note: not recommended on women with exceptionally bad driving skills.

Turn the light off or unplug her dryer when she’s doing her hair.

Pretend to throw her cat out the window.

A full throwing motion accompanied by frantic mewing will boost dramatic effect.

Never miss a chance to turn a serious question into a glib answer.

Pretend to accidentally cut off your finger in the kitchen. Use gobs of ketchup.

Replace her cosmetics with crayons.

Put her panties on her cat. Don’t put them on the dog if the dog is yours. There are some lines not meant to be crossed.

Draw smiley faces or penises on her tampons.

Paint a picture of her. With great fanfare, unveil a stick figure drawing.

Pull weeds from the yard. Put them in a vase with a sincere love note attached. Act offended if she doesn’t swoon for your weeds. Keep up the pretense for weeks.

Place a giant stuffed animal or clown doll in bed, facing her. When she wakes up, she’ll freak.

Walk around casually at home with your dick hanging out of your jeans crotch. Call her a perv for noticing.

Turn her shirts inside out.

Put a Baby Ruth in her shoe. “Omg, I think the cat pooped in your shoe.”

Dutch oven. Shower oven. Car oven.

Honk her tits. Make loud honking noise. Bonus points if you use an air horn.

Warning.

Do not use on fat chicks. They may get the wrong idea.

GIRL: “What time is it?”

A good time.

GIRL: “You came in late today.”

Hard drug use.

GIRL: “Which way is it to X?”

You don’t seem like the kind of girl who’d go there.

GIRL: “How are you?”

Irresistible.

GIRL: “Could you watch my laptop for me for a minute?”

Ok, but close your porn windows first. I have a reputation.

GIRL: “What’d you think of movie X?”

All right... ready to hang on my every word?

GIRL: “Are you going to X's party this Friday?”

Yes. You can be happy now.

GIRL: “What do you do?”

You didn’t just ask that.

GIRL: in an elevator, “Could you press 4?”

This is just like in the movies!

GIRL: “My shift is ending soon. Can I close you out?”

Your flirting skills need work.

GIRL: “I think the coffee machine’s broken.”

Tried to put vodka in it again, didn’t ya?

GIRL: “Where’s your car?”

Tijuana.

GIRL: “That sounds like a good idea.”

Hey, it’s me!

GIRL: “It’s a really nice day today.”

Thanks!

GIRL: “That’s a cool hat.”

Flattery will get you everywhere.

GIRL: “Are you waiting in line?”

I’d better be. Otherwise I’m standing around looking good for nothing.

GIRL: “That’ll be $69.75.”

I bet you say that to all the guys.

Just kidding about that last one. Sort of.

Flirting with women ties into the whole alpha male philosophy of not taking girls seriously. Treating women’s idle politeness like a sounding board for you to amp up the sexual tension and remind your quarry that you are a highly libidinous, fleshy extension of your turgid cock is good for establishing proper and healthy male-female relations.

When you are flippant with women, they sense that you think you are better than them, and that turns them on. Women love a man who is better than them, but they will accept as a substitute a man who simply thinks he is better than them.

“Excuse me, I have to get to a meeting that’s going to change my life, but I think you’re gonna change it, too. Let me have your number, I’ll call you later and we’ll see if I’m right.”

I have a friend who brings his dog to the bar. Inevitably, girls come up, start playing with the dog, and say, “He’s so cute!” What does he say?

“I don’t think he likes you.”

“It’s not really polite to stare at people like that.”

“I’m afraid I’m going to have to hit on you. Damnit, this is the last thing I needed today.”

“Excuse me, may I tell you something?”

Don’t wait for answer. “You were walking by just there with a reeeeeally serious expression on your face.”

“YOU. Who ARE you?” - breaking rapport, accusing tone, as if she’s not supposed to be there doing whatever she’s doing.

“Oh, uhh, I’m Sally?”

“Well Sally, I saw you from across the room and had to come say hello. I think we’re going to have to have a million babies together.” “omg lol umm no thanks lol”

“Alright, then we’ll start with coffee instead.”

“Hey, how do I get to Place?”

“oh, umm I think it’s 2 blocks that way and then turn–”

“lol I don’t actually need directions. I just thought you were cute and wanted to come flirt with you. Who are you?” “omg lol ummm Sally omg”

“I haven’t seen you around here before Sally, you must be - insert cold reed, teasing, etc.”

“Hey, how do I get to Place?”

“oh, umm I think it’s 2 blocks that way and then turn–”

“It sounds like you’re just making that up.” Accusation/teasing.

“lol no I just–”

“If you don’t know, you can just say so. Why are you messing with poor lost strangers who just need help? You MONSTER.” teasing, accusing, cold-reading.

“omg!! lol no I’m not I was–”

“No, it’s too late, I hate you now. But I’m willing to let you make it up to me over drinks sometime. You free this weekend?” Push and pull, pushing for the close.

“well I have a boyfriend!”

“That’s okay. We’ll invite him too. Then you can give him made up directions so he gets lost and we can keep flirting.” Pushing for the close: “omg well we’re getting married...”

“Not after we have drinks you won’t be.” a.k.a. pushing for the close.

To clarify:

None of these lines will magically cause a woman to have sex with you.
Lines like these are effective because they are better than the usual boring drivel and clumsy chit chat that most men resort to when meeting women.
A quasi-canned, ready-to-spit opener or opener routine encourages men to talk to women.

NOT “pickup lines”:

How would you react if your boyfriend gave you an ultimatum?
Why do girls check out other girls more than they check out guys?

...

You look like the type who would date a starving artist, but marry a doctor.
Let’s say you were dating this guy for a while, fell in love with him, and found out months later that he was broke. Would you break up with him?
Were you nervous the first time you tried on a bikini? My buddy said he was nervous when he first tried on a suit.
There was a study done recently that said that beautiful couples have more daughters and nerdy couples have more sons. Would you say your parents were beautiful or nerdy?
Who can keep a secret longer -- guys or girls?
Are the best lovers made or born?

...

Who has better fashion sense -- girls or gay guys?
You look like the type of girl who would leave a club if another girl was wearing the same shirt.
I’ve read that men get more jealous from sexual infidelity and women get more jealous from love infidelity. Which one bothers you more?
Do you guys believe in reincarnation? If it were true, what kind of person do you think you’d be in your next life? You - point at potential cockblock - ... you look like you’d be a CEO in your next life... and you - point at target - a ballet geek!

My advice to the naturally incurious man:

Find an equally incurious girl.
Push yourself out of your incurious comfort zone... For instance, instead of taking your girl out to dinner next Saturday like every other herbling, go indoor rock climbing with her. The ensuing rush - kept in check by safety ropes and belays - is nature’s perfect vaginal lube.
Learn to LISTEN. Women LOVE LOVE LOVE men who actually listen to them. Listening intently to a woman will make you seem like a curious man... You only need to remember a few keywords to feed back to a girl to wow her as a man who “gets it”.
Do new things if for no other reason than that it will give you material to use during a pickup.
Be unpredictable.

Curiosity is win-win for men.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the wittiest opener, or the smoothest delivery. If you open your mouth and say something as benign as “Hi” to thirty-eight attractive girls on a single Saturday, you will have rocketed yourself ahead of 99% of men who passed by those same girls and said nothing...

Now add in a little game. You’ve just hurdled 99.9% of men who pass by those girls without muttering a word on that typical, “boring” Saturday...

Opportunity is everywhere for those with the eyes to see.

THE ONLY ADVICE YOU’LL EVER NEED.

Chicks dig power.
Don’t date.
Never pay.
Play by your own rules.
He who hesitates, masturbates.
Better to pursue lots of women until you find one willing to go all the way right away than to waste a month on a tease.
Women want to be seduced.
Hot sexy babes want to fuck someone... why not you?

Don’t answer all of a girl’s questions, especially when it feels like you are being interrogated.

The best reason to learn game is that it is a shortcut to a woman’s pussy and heart.

When the revelation that there is nothing after this life but the illimitable black void is grasped, hedonism is the only logical answer.

Remember Maxim #14: Never Make It Easy For A Girl.

Sometimes a girl will drop a stinky bait. Don’t bite! She wants to chase you around the lake forever.

Never tell a girl you are looking for a relationship... Also, “Whoa, not so fast tiger!” can be funny and stimulating to her vagina.

Slap your girl’s ass in public once in a while, hard.

When you are with your girl and another alpha male is the center of attention, the best thing you can do is casually and briefly acknowledge his talents and otherwise ignore him.

Remember Maxim #15: Your girl will thank you for your steadfast devotion to your belief in yourself.

When your girl buys you something or gets you a present, don’t immediately buy her something in return... Tit-for-tat kills the sexy fun vibe.

Speaking of gifts, the best players I know buy their girls NOTHING. And their girls love them with everything they have.

As a birthday gift for your girl, a grape seed oil massage beats a tennis bracelet EVERY TIME.

If you want to save money, doing things for a girl is always better than buying things for her.

Fucking a girl right is worth more than a $20,000 engagement ring. I am not kidding.

Youtube comment:

"The day humans will stop existing is just around a hundred years after the first realistic sex robot hits the market."

Unless reproduction is industrialized and severed from the mating market after the appearance of that first lifelike sexbot, this commenter is likely correct.

Changes I foresee:

Omegas – geeks, nerds, dweebs, trolls, dregs, dullards, bums, street filth – will finally have a satisfying release for their pent-up horniness. Crime will likely drop as a result. So will rayp. Widely available sexbots are analogous to cheap, legal prostitution... Sexbots could also be compassionate. Giving a homeless guy a sexbot will do more for his happiness than $5 for liquor or a sympathetic smile from a cute soup kitchen volunteer.

Betas – Niceguys with a heart of gold and zero sex appeal - the more frustrated betas will retreat from the dating scene to be with their sexbots, dissuading them from learning the art of seduction.

Aspiring Alphas – after sexbots, aspiring alphas will be more in demand than ever. It’s a simple numbers game.

Alphas – guys who won’t have to martyr themselves for 72 virgins, will reap a tremendous beaver bounty.

Ugly Women – drop out entirely.

Plain Women – put out on first dates.

Beautiful Women – choose harem initiation with a super alpha.

Marriage – Either will take a bodyblow from which it will never recover, or paradoxically divorce will decrease as husbands inclined to stray fulfill their cravings for variety with non-human mistresses... the price of alphas on the market will skyrocket. They will call the shots... regression to sanctioned polygamy and overt adultery. This will herald the end of Western civilization.

Love – The virus in the borg. Love may save the day.

Conclusion – The entire market structure of dating will shift seismically in the direction of men becoming choosier.

Basic premise -- the more physically satisfying choices men have to sate their lust, the less needy they will be with women. --> downgrade in the asking price of single women.

Because women are more loathe to SETTLE than men, there will be a rush to the top...

Polygamy will rush in to fill the need.

Alpha move.

“Whaddya say we get hitched?”

Super-alpha move.

“Whaddya say we get hitched, my number one bitch?”

Then slip this ring on her finger:

Tiny diamond inside

Alpha move.

Walk up behind her, wrap your arms around her, lean over her shoulder, and while placing the ring box into her hand whisper in your deepest, most gravelly voice: “Let’s do this.”

Super-alpha move.

Same as above, but instead of an engagement ring box, put two tickets to Vegas and a brochure for the Elvis Chapel in her hand.

Alpha move.

“You know, I never thought I’d hear myself saying this, but... ah fuck it, let’s go crazy and get married, babe.”

Super-alpha move.

“You know why I’m asking you to marry me? Cause you’re the kind of girl who would sign a pre-nup. That’s what I cherish about you.”

Alpha move.

“How long we been together? Five years? Ten years? It’s time...” Slide the ring box over to her.

Super-alpha move.

“May as well dot the i’s and cross the t’s and get married already.”

Alpha move.

Take her to a secluded nature spot. Dance with her under the clear moonlight. Gaze into her eyes and slip the ring on her finger, saying nothing.

Super-alpha move.

Take her to a secluded nature spot. Dance with her under the clear moonlight. Gaze into her eyes and slip a handcrafted origami paper ring on her finger. Tell her “You know you want it, babe.”

Alpha move.

“Marry me, lovechop.”

Super-alpha move.

“Marry me, dirty whore.”

Basically gentlemen, if you want to beat the sordid odds and enter a marriage with a less than 50% likelihood it will end in divorce, you need to date virgins or girls who have had only one partner before you. Good luck with that! Of course, you can do as the Chateau recommends and skip out on marriage altogether. This option opens the playing field for you to continually date and dump sluts as you see fit, minus the accompanying divorce-theft-financial-rayp.

Unmarried men in long-term relationships receive just as many health and happiness benefits as married men. The crucial variable is... the love.
Unmarried, cohabiting men enjoy the pleasure of thinner lovers than the fat wives enjoyed by married men.
Unmarried players are just as desired by women for marriage as beta providers, but just don’t commit to women as readily.
There is no evidence I’m aware of that married men have more frequent sex with their indentured sperm receptacles a.k.a. wives than unmarried men in relationships have with their girlfriends.
Finally, why do pro-marriage anti-gamers always assume that maximizing sex frequency is the desired goal for men? Quality matters. One hundred sex sessions with a seacow will be less satisfying for most men than one session with a knockout.

"I have to lock her in because the snatch must flow."

As any dead-eyed married man will tell you, the sex is always hottest until that first bite of wedding cake.

Fact.

Once in a secure relationship (and nothing is more secure for a woman than marriage -- the law sees to that) a woman’s sex drive plummets.

Fact.

Women pack on the pounds after getting married.

Fact.

Your wife’s pussy will always be the same.

"If I don’t marry her, she’ll leave me. And then I’ll be alone."

To recap:

divorce theft.
monogamy.
second class spouse under the law.
sex once a month TOPS with the same old pussy.

Let’s compare two men.

Man 1 abjures marriage.

At the end, he wheezes his last with memories of hundreds of women -- of their loving ministrations and tender caresses and fleeting intimacies between window blind shafts of sunlight -- dancing through his head, and in the company of a nebulous regret that refuses to dislodge.

Man 2 abjures bachelorhood.

At the end, he wheezes his last in the company of his old wife’s tears and clouded eyes, and he drifts off to forever with memories he wished he had, and memories so distant they have receded to mere imagination.

Now... ask yourself:

Which of these two men had it better?

Sweetness is defined as robbing a girl of the satisfaction of walking away from a failing relationship with the upper hand. It means stealing her thunder when she wants to be the dumper. There are two ways to do this, and both require presence of mind to accurately assess when she is about to pull the trigger.

Timing is everything.

Strategy 1, Dump her first.

Strategy 2, Use her dumping power against her.

When women get dumped, they do not become better people or happier people. They react primarily in one of two ways:

1.

She broods and licks her wounds, unleashing her sorrow on girl friends and family. In extreme cases, she will retreat to a corner in her bedroom and gaze at the wall for a few days, sustaining herself on bits of orange and water. Her cat’s fur will become soaked and matted with her tears.

2.

She lashes out bitterly with rage and spite... will attempt to poison the well of whatever friendships or associations you shared. She will stalk you, harass you, slander you and generally try to make it difficult for you to get her out of your life without a restraining order.

...

Women suffer the hardship of breakups worse than alpha males.

When she began crying, vulnerable in the middle of the room clutching her bath towel, I looked at her intently for a few seconds, walked up, gave her a strong hug and a cheek kiss, wiped one tear with my thumb, and then let go to pour a couple of drinks for the both of us. I didn’t ask what was wrong, I didn’t ask if there was something I could do, I didn’t ask how I could make it better. I didn’t even ask if she wanted a drink. I just put the drink in her hand. Everything was done in silence... She was emotionally cold for about a half hour after that, then as we were lying in bed later falling asleep, she rolled over and nuzzled her head in the nook where my arm meets my chest. She was smiling....Here are the rules for dealing with a spontaneously crying woman:Don’t worry about why she is crying.That reaction is warm, nonverbal reassurance. If you suspect that the cause of her tears is something you did, you should let her express those reasons on her own time. Give her a glass of water or wine while she is crying.For the love of god, DON’T PLEAD WITH HER TO COMMUNICATE HER FEELINGS.

Two different dating strategies:

Short term fling.

Don’t bother putting much imaginative effort into your dates.

Long term girlfriend.

1st date - Drinks at a Latin lounge or Salsa class.

2nd Date - Hilarious but disturbing show at indie club.

3rd Date - Chill drinks at my place and heavy makeout.

4th Date - GoKart racing at an indoor track.

5th Date - Sex.

6th Date - Hike in the woods.

Rule #1, Don’t be needy.

Rule #2, Don’t be insecure.

Proposition: I challenge my male readers -- particularly my beta readers -- who have girlfriends to an asshole experiment. When your G.F. makes you genuinely angry I want you to yell at her “SHUT THE FUCK UP”. Credibility will be added if you do it in public. This will be tough for you to do, but my presence will be with you, like the unholy spirit. Visualize your balls physically growing larger when she says something that pisses you off.

WARNING!

This is the hydrogen bomb of hand maneuvers. Use sparingly, and only use on women who are above your league. If you drop this ego-blasting, pussy-busting, heart-palpitating bomb on a girl who already cherishes you and looks up to you in wide-eyed awe, you risk having her burst into tears. Have you ever tried to maintain an alpha frame with a girl who is wracked in heaving sobs?

Meaningless acts of romance are far more meaningful to girls than meaningful acts of romance.

...

A girl’s urge to pressure you to marry is inversely correlated to her depth of love for you.

...

Marriage counselors could save more marriages simply by uttering these two words: tease her.

...

Love like an idealist, think like a cynic.

...

If she assumes the doggie position unprompted, you’re doing it right.

If she gives you mouth love without you having to ask for it, you’re doing it more right than you can fathom.

...

Occasional Displays of Testosterone - O.D.T.s – are more effective, require less effort, and are more fun than “talking it out”

On the matter of a woman saying “I love you”:

NEVER be the first to say “I love you” in a relationship.
You don’t have to be cocky all the time.
Sincere game is long haul game.

Be aware of the possibility that your woman will use "I love you" like a weapon of war.

Frequently pat her ass.

Compliment her beauty sparingly.

Draw a picture of her in crayon.

Play “butt spatula” in the kitchen.

Tell her mom she’s a M.I.L.F.

Curse her in a foreign tongue.

Compare her to a chihuahua.

Call her Paris Hilton.

Leave handcuffs in full view.

Drip hot wax on her nipples.

Buy a handgun and let her caress the barrel.

Reenact rayp scenes from movies.

Be impervious to her taunts.

Act cagey.

Hide your money.

Buy her gifts when they’re not expected.

Don’t buy her gifts when they are.

Avoid P.D.A. one day and finger her in public the next.

Bang her within a stone’s throw of:

a church.

a Dunkin Donuts.

a public restroom.

a school playground.

an outdoor wedding.

a caged zoo animal.

Scare her till she pees herself.

Hide sexy post-it notes in her panties.

Get used to saying the words “Enough”, “Shut up”, and “Turn over.”

Look fantastic in a suit.

Look fantastic in casual wear.

Look fantastic in anything.

Sound good.

Smell good.

Kiss good.

Strut around with supreme confidence.

Be uncannily successful at your job.

Blow people away anytime you say anything.

Take six-hour lunches.

Disappear for weeks at a time.

Lie to everyone about everything.

And drink and smoke constantly.

Basically, be Don Draper.

Romantic weekend away: Sex, affection, low stress, and good dining. The “relationship” and “where it is heading” comes in a distant tenth, right after rejoicing that we came in under budget.

Subtle dominance moves that you should incorporate into your relationships with women, thus ensuring years of freely available sex, affection, and loyalty:

Don’t trail your woman in the grocery store.
Don’t ponder your decisions out loud.
Never discuss money matters with your woman.
Don’t “keep an eye” on your woman.
Learn the power of No.
Don’t be a “sensitive guy”. No one likes that guy.
When seating yourself at a restaurant, always put her in the chair that affords maximum protection from the thru-way used by patrons and waiters.
On dates, let her pay for shit once in a while.
Always control the remote, TV, computer, stereo, and circular saw. Let her rest her head on your lap when you watch movies together.
If you often find yourself walking ahead of her when you two are outside at farmers’ markets or the like, resist the urge to constantly look over your shoulder to see where she is.
The dog is yours, not hers, even when it’s hers.
Abuse her cat when she’s not looking.
Master the art of controlled physical dominance. If she’s in your way, grab her around the waist and gently push her aside.
You ever notice how the assholes and douchebags with the hot chicks always act like they’re unaware of their girls’ presence in public?
Stop laughing at her unfunny jokes.
If her sister is ugly, tell your girl that you see some resemblance. If her sister is hot, ask her if she was adopted.
I’ve experimented with many techniques for coaxing girls I date to stay on the slim and narrow.
If someone asks what your girl does for a living, let her answer.
The morning after at her place, when you get up, either have a plan of action for the day, or leave. Don’t putter around.
Try to avoid at all costs the dreaded words “I dunno”.
Don’t be a herb.

Here's a handy chart demonstrating this female proclivity to endlessly take stock of your alpha cred should make things clear.

Plotted: the Number and Intensity of Female Shit Tests for The Average Man.

First few minutes.

Rapid fire shit tests designed to weed out betas.

First few dates.

One or two shit tests per date, less crass, more subtle.

Post-sex.

Possible “I didn’t cum” shit test. Ignore it.

First few weeks.

Shit tests become less obnoxious, more defensive: “Are you always this late?”

First few months.

Non-verbal shit tests increase in frequency; she waits for you to call instead of picking up the phone herself.

Six months later.

Endearing love and romance shit tests begin to flare up: “You hardly ever give me flowers.” “Do you love me?”

One year in.

Provider shit tests in full swing. “Why don’t you buy yourself a bigger place?” “You never tell me what you do at work.”

Two years in.

“Life purpose”, marriage, and infidelity shit tests. “Where are we going with this?” “Bob just popped the question to Sarah. Aren’t you happy for them?” “Are you cheating on me?”

Thirty years in.

Regret and death shit tests: “The kids are gone. I’m not in love anymore.” “Would you wipe my spotted ass when I’m an invalid?”

If you aren’t a natural at deflecting shit tests of all varieties, then you must teach yourself.

For those men not blessed with the quickness of mind and aloofness of temperament to handle shit tests like a champ, a system must be devised. I’ve found one.

I call it the Agree and Amplify anti-shit test counterinsurgency.

What you need to focus on, WHATEVER you do, is to maintain frame ... You want to boil down “game” into one phrase, it’s:

DON’T BE BETA.

Don’t put her on the pedestal.

and the NUMBER ONE KEY to a healthy relationship is ...

Examples of effective doom inducement:

– Turn off your cell phone twice a week. Alternate days.

– Make a blatant but plausibly deniable move on one of her friends when she’s not around. The news will get back to her.

– Call her from a very busy place so that she can hear women’s voices laughing and shrieking in the background. Don’t tell her where you are when she asks.

– Mention how skilled your Russian ex was at giving head.

– Be seen by your girlfriend flirting with other women in a social venue. Extra points if the women are attractive.

– Cook her a romantic candlelight dinner at home... Then, do not talk with her for four days afterwards.

– Ignore her calls for a week. When you eventually answer and she reads you the riot act, act as if nothing was wrong and accuse her of sabotaging a perfectly good relationship.

– When her best friend tells you how cute you and your girlfriend look together, shrug.

– When she attempts the jealousy maneuver by flirting with another guy, act unfazed. Give her pickup tips.

– Gaze longingly into her eyes, say how hot she looks, then immediately glance at the bosom of any woman in the vicinity.

– Have a threesome. Spend an inordinate amount of time admiring the labia of the other woman. Be sure to moan louder with her.

– Say things like “I really value my independence and freedom” relevant to nothing in particular.

Thermonuclear Option:

** Have an affair and make sure she finds out about it.

Women can go long stretches without sex, like a camel without water in the desert, and still keep their sanity helps them stick to their guns. A girl friend once told me “For women, when we’re not getting it, we kinda forget about it. When we’re getting it, we crave it. For men, when you guys aren’t getting it, you crave it.”

...

Happiness in love rests in large part on your ability to get past your ego and see yourself for who you truly are and how much you actually bring to the table. It’s a soul-wrenching process of self-examination that sometimes only happens after years of reality have pounded into you the fact of your true worth. If you don’t like your market value, then do what you can to raise it. Otherwise, keep tilting at windmills.

A girlfriend’s hotness alone is an amazingly accurate predictor of how quickly the average man will grow bored of sex with her:

Hotness 0-3, Time to boredom = 1 second.
Hotness 4, Time to boredom = 15 seconds.
Hotness 5, Time to boredom = 5 minutes.
Hotness 6, Time to boredom = 3 weeks.
Hotness 7, Time to boredom = 6 months.
Hotness 8, Time to boredom = 2 years.
Hotness 9, Time to boredom = 5 years.
Hotness 10, Time to boredom = 10 years to never.

Post-sex cuddling is like a chemical reaction which drains your testosterone by the minute. Intimate cuddling will convince a girl to give herself high marks on her self-evaluation, and once she’s done this the odds she will see you as a worthy mate for the long haul -- sexual or otherwise – drop precipitously. It’s all done on the subconscious level of course, but that’s the level that is most dangerous, since it operates by flying under the radar of our conscious perimeter defenses.

Why are women offended by the wearing of socks during sex?

Women's rayp fantasy reflects a deep, inborn, uncompromising sexual desire by women to be rendered helpless, almost childlike, by a more powerful man. It is the submissive scrawling of their hindbrains, a message in a novel sailing forth from the female limbic labyrinth. And from submission to a dominant male force is born the strongest love.

I loved that he was so powerful I was nothing. -O

The degree of difference between what wordplay stimulation will do to a woman’s sexual arousal and a man’s couldn’t be more stark. While men enjoy a marginal increase in pleasure listening to a woman moan and talk dirty during sex, women become absolutely apoplectic with lust when you describe the sexual tension in explicit detail. You can literally make a woman’s neck hair stand on end by telling her what you are about to do to her....the Big Three:1. Squirting orgasms. This is the holy grail.2. Regular orgasms. the majority of women don’t experience them with their men.3. Sex Talk.

These are a few of my favorite things:

The Venetian Blind Bang.
The Mighty Oak Rut.
The Bearskin Rug Fuck.
The Steamy Shower Sexytime.
The Muscle Car Straddle.
The Cemetery Fuck.
The Nude Beach Stealth Bang.
The Warm Ocean Waters Intrusion.
The Balcony Boff.

The path to sexual nirvana is through hot women...

When you mix together certain ingredients you can achieve paralytic sexual bliss...

Public sex is a necessary precondition...

There must also be clothes in the way...

Your woman must be either an angel on earth, or a dirty whore. A middle of the road typical chick with gangbang experience under her belt or a commitment to the three date rule isn’t going to cut it. If you want to lift yourself to the heights of ecstacy you must feel like you are piercing the womanhood of a truly uncorrupted vagina, or, on the opposite end, spiraling downward into the pits of sin with a filthy slut.

A few ways to neutralize last minute resistance (L.M.R.):

Agree in words, but not in action.
Seduce her.
Pre-empt her.
Freeze her out.

Examples:

The Human Meow.
The Telepathic Sex Stare.
The Symbolic Suggestion.
The Unprompted Shoe Removal.
The “Wow, I could use a backrub” Bonk Over The Head.
The Aunt Jemima Channeling.
The Snake Hiss.
The Campbell’s Soup Song.
The “I’m Horny” State of the Union Address.

The essential motivation for scoring the best-looking women is the visceral pleasure signals it sends to the reward centers of the malebrain. To gaze on a beautiful woman’s face, admire the curves of her body, and make love with her all night long is its own reward.

"I feel like you know everything about me, but I know nothing about you."

Congratulations, you:

remained an elusive mystery.
did not give away the store to try to win her approval.
have intrigued her just enough to cause her subconscious to spit forth her true feelings.4. have made her feel comfortable revealing herself to you.

Descent of Alpha follows this trajectory:

—> Master Seducer commits to a girlfriend or gets married and spends most of his free time with her.

One month passes without hitting on fresh meat. —> fading Seducer.

Two months pass without hitting on fresh meat. —> wannabe Seducer.

Three months pass without hitting on fresh meat. —> Master Seducer has by now been demoted to Master Beta Boyfriend.

Four months pass without hitting on fresh meat. —> Master of Nothing.

Six months pass without hitting on fresh meat. —> Master of Herbs.

“I’ll get this round, and you can get the next hundred rounds. Top shelf liquor only, please. I have standards.”

A few words can send a lot of subtle messages. Saying the above demonstrates that you don’t really care who is paying, but you’ll have some fun with the situation anyhow. It also shows you are not buying her drinks to appease her and won’t be the type of guy who gets used like a walking ATM, yet still pays homage to human nature and the deep desire of women to see resource displays in the men they are considering for sex.

Weak seduction tool for three reasons:

1. It’s weak game.

2. It complicates the pursuit of long term relationships.

3. Lying is self-reinforcing.

“Being yourself” isn’t an ethically or strategically neutral stance; it is an unnecessarily negative obstacle to connecting with women in the way they want you to connect with them. Despite what women claim, they would really rather you run some game on them so they can feel those good feelings that are aroused by skilled practitioners of the art of indulging the female psyche. They just don’t want you to tell them you’re running game.

Psychological routines like the cube or palm reading are great, but don’t run more than one in a night.
Tone down the cocky funny. Don’t neg her more than once, and don’t neg a 6.5 or below unless you are an ugly man.
Don’t get too seductive on the first meet. Save the bedroom eyes for when you have her in a private place.
Don’t make out with her too passionately on the first meet. Exquisitely tempting lip brushes and dances of the tongues are better day 2 tactics, after rapport has been established.
Don’t hit on another girl immediately after getting her number. Give it room to breathe, soldier.
Don’t sound too “polished”. Say something stupid or goofy once in a while, so that she can make fun of you.
Expose a vulnerability. Alpha dominance is best served with a garnish of endearing flaws.
When you number close, say “I’m looking forward to seeing you.”

everything good is downstream of growth.

not growing is stagnation.

technology is a lever on the world.

this is the story of the material development of our civilization.

this is why our descendents will live in the stars.

free markets are the most effective way to organize a technological economy.

the market economy is a discovery machine, a form of intelligence.

Hayek’s Knowledge Problem overwhelms any centralized economic system.

in market discipline.

markets lift people out of poverty.

markets are an inherently individualistic way to achieve superior collective outcomes.

markets do not require people to be perfect, or even well intentioned.

the ultimate moral defense of markets is that they divert people who otherwise would raise armies and start religions into peacefully productive pursuits.

markets, to quote Nicholas Stern, are how we take care of people we don’t know.

markets are the way to generate societal wealth for everything else we want to pay for.

there is no conflict between capitalist profits and a social welfare system that protects the vulnerable.

central economic planning elevates the worst of us and drags everyone down; markets exploit the best of us to benefit all of us.

central planning is a doom loop; markets are an upward spiral.

in David Ricardo’s concept of comparative advantage – as distinct from competitive advantage.

a market sets wages as a function of the marginal productivity of the worker.

in Milton Friedman’s observation that human wants and needs are infinite.

markets also increase societal well being by generating work in which people can productively engage.

technological change, far from reducing the need for human work, increases it.

in Augmented Intelligence just as much as we believe in Artificial Intelligence.

Augmented Intelligence drives marginal productivity which drives wage growth which drives demand which drives the creation of new supply.

energy should be in an upward spiral.

energy need not expand to the detriment of the natural environment.

a second energy silver bullet is coming – nuclear fusion.

there is no inherent conflict between the techno-capital machine and the natural environment.

technology is the solution to environmental degradation and crisis.

a technologically stagnant society has limited energy at the cost of environmental ruin.

we should place intelligence and energy in a positive feedback loop, and drive them both to infinity.

we should use the feedback loop of intelligence and energy to make everything we want and need abundant.

The idea of nature and ultimately philosophy itself is argued then, through Nietzsche, to arise out of a primitive understanding of nature as breeding or biology. Accordingly a second and closely related contribution of this thesis is a novel reading of Pindar: the concept of nature is seen to have its origin in the political regime of Archaic Greek aristocracy, and indeed to represent an abstraction or “distillation” of the standard underlying the aristocratic regime.

The “anthropology” of this ancient philosophy based on “aristocratic prejudice” is precisely what leads to “mass training” and “eugenics”--Kojeve here uses markedly Nietzschean language and imagery. He says the problem, given the ancient conception of nature, is not of good or evil, but of “healthy or sick, wild or trained.”

...

the philosopher as such is concerned with nothing but the quest for wisdom and kindling or nourishing the love of wisdom in those who are by nature capable of it.

there is a fundamental disconnect between men like Alcibiades and Leonardo da Vinci and their own times--they are not men determined by their own time, they represent or embody something older and stronger that is in some sense “out of place” in its own time and can therefore overcome an age of decadence. While this same age of decadence is in an indirect way the “cause” or the opportunity both for the emergence of Alcibiades and of his weaker and decadent contemporaries, Alcibiades is not determined by these or by their horizon in his life or action, let alone in his thought: “Great men are necessary, the age in which they appear is accidental; that they almost always become masters over their age is only because they are stronger, because they are older, because for a longer time much was gathered for them. The relationship between a genius and his age is like that between strong and weak, or between old and young: the age is relatively always much younger, thinner, more immature, less assured, more childish.”

Nietzsche discusses Alcibiades, Caesar, da Vinci, he mentions that these are exceptions, while the rule is:

The man from an age of dissolution, which mixes the races all together, such a man has an inheritance of a multiple ancestry in his body, that is, conflicting and frequently not merely conflicting drives and standards of value, which war among themselves and rarely give each other rest--such a man of late culture and broken lights will typically be a weaker man. His most basic demand is that the war which constitutes him should finally end. Happiness seems to him, in accordance with a calming medicine and way of thinking – for example, Epicurean or Christian – principally as the happiness of resting, of having no interruptions, of surfeit, of the final unity, as the “Sabbath of Sabbaths,” to use the words of the saintly rhetorician Augustine, who was himself such a man.

the “raw material” for philosophy is furnished by the aristocratic regime in a much more direct and literal way, in that only the impressive specimens bred over generations by such a regime can become philosophers in the beginnings of philosophy, or receive philosophy at its beginnings. This point is made in a somewhat limited way, but for our purposes, most clearly, when Nietzsche discusses the incredible work that had to go into cultivating physical beauty in Athens--itself originally just the consequence of a physical culture geared toward athletics and thus at bottom toward warfare. The physical beauty that impressed thinkers and philosophers, and that in particular was the fertile ground and inspiration for Platonic philosophy, was one of the end-products of the breeding program inherent in the aristocratic regime.

a) Aristocratic physical culture as precondition of philosophical life.

Critias - Socrates’ criminal, tyrannical, and mad student, is said to have written an abstraction or radicalization of the Spartan constitution, which he understood to have as its purpose the breeding of a “physically supreme specimen.” The Spartan regime is perhaps enough to produce this intended result

The ultimate origin of this identity is in what Nietzsche calls high culture, and which might be understood literally as the cultivation of human nature, a cultivation that is by necessity of long duration, strict, and difficult; a cultivation that might also go by the name of “regime.”

...

Nietzsche goes so far as to compare Schopenhauer to Napoleon, another “classical man” who appeared, as he says, as an untimely and unexpected comet or meteor, totally out of place in an age of modern men and mediocrity.

...

the connection hinted at between Schopenhauer as the revival of classical philosophy and Napoleon as the revival of the classical statesman or tyrant, gives a clue about what Nietzsche understands to be the ground or prerequisite of both high culture and philosophy. That is, one must look past the rhetoric of assertion, manliness, Napoleonic greatness, and try to tunnel into Nietzsche’s statements to understand the riddle

...

“the great, the uncanny problem which I have been pursuing the longest” is the problem of psychology of the “improvers” of mankind.

...

Political truth means that it must have truth for the layman or for “the many,” or for the politically significant part of the regime. Politically effective truth is not the same as truth as such. Each has a sphere and dignity of its own.

In Plato we have both the salvation of philosophy from persecution and its “concealment” under a political mask, its coming forth into the world under the mask of the moralist and the “priest,” under the mask of the “good man.”

Hippias’ rhetoric only aims to please and therefore has to cater to the pleasures of others. Hippias is a man who knows nothing of what is beautiful by nature, but instead slavishly memorizes names to please others with old wives’ tales. He thinks he rules, but he is really being used as a clown.

a) Restatement of the Rhetorical Aims of the Gorgias; the Inconsistency Between the View Presented on Rhetoric in the Gorgias and that in Other Dialogues.

Philosophers must defend the virtues of the many-- chiefly, self-restraint, sophrosune, and justice--if they are to rule, and if they are to have anything to rule at all.

not only do Socrates and Callicles agree fundamentally on the “problem”--the salvation of the erromenesteros and thereby of phusis from convention--but even on the ultimate solution, which is “to rule in the city.” It is only that Plato is much wilier about how to achieve this and that, in fully understanding the requirements of rule and therefore of legislation in the highest degree, he realizes Callicles’ aristocratic radicalism must be spiritualized; and similarly the form of rhetorical warfare for which Callicles is eager must be spiritualized, or intellectualized.

The preservation of the “superior breed” or biological specimen is the preservation of nature in the world and therefore the guarantee of the emergence of truth about the world.

...

“it didn’t work; it leads to men like Socrates being killed; it leads to the extinction of breeding and therefore of the knowledge of nature in the world; for nature and truth to preserve and manifest themselves the ‘philosophers,’ or rather the erromenesteroi, the men of ‘sufficient nature’ from whom the philosopher would under ideal circumstances organically emerge, must take power in the cities and grasp for a tyranny.” It is the “spiritual tyranny” of pre-Socratic philosophy become politically active under emergency conditions of persecution and turned into the pursuit of actual tyranny.

the perfect moment of “Platonic political philosophy”: the moment when the philosopher is both forced to become political as a matter of self-defense, and the moment when, in the Straussian sense now, philosophy becomes “political,” when it begins to put on a mask and to become a rhetorical project of apologetics intended to portray the philosopher as a man of “justice” and a “good citizen.”

the final result of Socrates’ “educational” project is not passivity, but anarchic and destructive violence: there is a debate about the beating of parents followed by a mob uprising and arson against Socrates’ own school. One is reminded possibly, and in this case half-anachronistically, of Alcibiades, also Socrates’ student, and his involvement in the destruction of the herms and the profanation of the Eleusinian mysteries, events that the people of Athens took to be precursors to a plot for the violent suppression of democracy. Not that philosophy teaches ineffectual passive nihilism and anomie then, but that it is supremely dangerous because it makes young men lawless and violent, and possibly antidemocratic and tyrannical: this seems to have been the concern about philosophy.

Wealth is widely powerful, whenever a mortal man receives it, blended with pure excellence, from the hands of fortune, and takes it as a companion that makes many friends.

...

Wise men are better able to bear even god-given power. Great prosperity surrounds you, as you walk with justice. First, since you are a king of great cities, your inborn eye looks on this as a most revered prize of honor, united with your mind; and you are blessed even now, because you have already earned the boast of victory with your horses from the renowned Pythian festival, and you will welcome this victory-procession of men, a delight for Apollo.

The wise man possesses a great eye--an “inborn eye.” He is on the hunt for prey, for truth or insight about the world, which is snatched up in one bold move from afar, from high up, or hit from afar as an archer hits his target. The art of seeing, of bringing out forgotten truths into the radiant light, in short, wisdom, is an inborn art, it is knowledge by nature or by the blood. By contrast those who have learned--whether it be the mass of the many who need interpreters--or their representatives, the “learned,” the mathontes, the pursuers of the didaktai aretai, that is, the try- hards and intellectuals who are utterly demotic and conventional; these produce mere chatter. Wisdom is a matter of silent insight from afar, an inborn skill; it is not a matter of discussion, endless words, the boisterous chatter of the envious.

“Two high-haired men, sons of the earth-shaker, who, obeying their inner valor,” could not resist Jason’s call for adventure and danger of death.

...

No law or regime could ever restrain excellence, nor really ever be responsible for its having emerged. Areta and by extension the biological fundamental phusis from which it emerges is beyond all convention, all law, all regime, and can co-opt, prosper under, or take over any; it is the only thing that is “regime- independent” or “convention-independent”: “Under all laws the straight- spoken man excels, whether by the side of a tyranny, or whenever the furious mob, or when the wise watch over the city.”

If a man has devoted his whole spirit to excellence, sparing neither expense nor toils, it is right to grant the boast of manliness to those who achieve excellence, with an ungrudging mind.

...

The highest type of man is the product of a breeding program, and not of an educational program of nomos. The boast of manliness, andreia, is alone granted to such a man; other males are not men, andres, but mere anthropoi, indistinct beings with anthropoid form.

...

It is right for a man to follow straight paths, and strive according to his nature. For strength manifests itself in action, and intelligence in counsels, for those who have the inborn skill of foreseeing the future.

...

A man with inborn glory has great weight; but he who has only learned is a man in darkness, breathing changeful purposes, never taking an unwavering step, but trying his hand at countless forms of excellence with his ineffectual thought.

...

Nature, the truth about the world and about man, erupts into being, into radiance, or the light of knowledge, from the obscurity of the primordial darkness and forgetfulness in which mortal anthropoi are doomed to live. The coming-about of such a nature, or body, is by physical breeding, and its training is a re-wilding, carried out beyond the walls of the city and of convention.

Odysseus is shipwrecked on the island Phaeakia. He has been stripped of literally everything, including his clothes. The princess Nausicaa is on the beach with her consorts engaged in the age-old renewal and purification ritual of washing and airing out clothes. Odysseus boldly approaches her completely naked; the servants are frightened and run, but he manages, naked and stripped of every outward mark of power and wealth, to reconstruct his kingly status through the power of aristocratic speech and of his bearing. The true measure of the man, his nature, is in all these cases revealed: heredity and blood become apparent in body. Reduced to mere body, to utter destitution, a shipwreck, or, in the case of his father Laertes, to an unkempt tiller of the soil, the blood of a king, and the fact of heredity--the phusis, nature, the truth about a being--reveals itself precisely in this reduction to bare biology.

There is the elevation of this vehement being, blood, or will, silent and effective in real men, extolled and memorialized in splendid songs--and that exists in distinction to the chatter, the word-obsessed envy, the darkness of the many. Bred phua is more real than other bodies, which are shrouded in darkness. These men are apparent and manifest in their great deeds; the watchful eye of the seer, the poet, picks these out and preserves the deeds in words to make them apparent, visible, through time, to make their fame or being endure.

"in marriage a noble man thinketh not twice of wedding the bad daughter of a bad sire if the father give him many possessions, nor doth a woman disdain the bed of a bad man if he be wealthy, but is fain rather to be rich than to be good. For ’tis possessions they prize; and a noble man weddeth of bad stock and a bad man of noble; race is confounded of riches. In like manner, son of Polypaus, marvel thou not that the race of thy townsmen is made obscure; ’tis because the noble are mixed with the bad."--Theognis 183-92

The first simile compares the gleam of the army’s bronze to the shining of a fire consuming forests on top of mountain. The second simile refers to the broad movements of the host: they are compared to tribes - ethnea - of geese that fly backwards and forwards and then settle with a thunder on some Asian meadow; in just such a way the many tribes – same word – flowed from the ships to the Skamandrian plain, and made the earth thunder with their feet and the hooves of the horses. Another two-line simile follows comparing now their number – rather than their motion – to the number of leaves and flowers in their season, of spring. The fourth simile compares the shape of the squadrons to the many tribes – same word, ethnea – of close-packed flies that gather in season of spring around the milk in the shepherd’s station: in just such a way do the Akhaian tribes – again, same word – gather in the field eager to shatter the Trojans.

a) The Aristocratic Principle as Distinct from the Primitive “Fundamental Democracy”; Historical Origins in the Greek World.

The polis--what Nietzsche calls “the aristocratic commonwealth” of breeding--is unique because of how it was able to accommodate and elevate what has been in this chapter called the “aristocratic” or “pastoral” way of life within the bounds of static, settled life; it represents a compromise between a “lower” and a “higher” that are of alien origin to each other.

Philosophy, as Strauss notes, can only be born once the concept of nature appears. But it appears that the concept of nature itself can only appear after the rather late institutions of sacral and divine kingship exist

...

nature-- the “source” simultaneously of both philosophy and tyranny, as argued in this thesis--really appears not as a rational concept, or by rational analogy to abstractions, but rather as a manifestation or, one could go so far as to say, a revelation. Its appearance, it must be emphasized, is late, it is rare, and only follows the emergence of a certain kind of early kingship and indeed the emergence of a certain kind of aristocracy that, unlike the early sacral king, manages to free itself entirely from the absolute “rule of the ancestral.”

Law or nomos retained this character for the city even to the end of the Classical period, and was understood to have an all-pervading power to determine daily life and thought; and even during the convulsions of the Peloponnesian War, with its murderous civil strife between factions, it was understood--at least for the purposes of lip service--that nomos as an original constitutive act was something that lay quite outside the self- interest of parties, let alone that of the individual--a permanent “convention” constitutive of the citizen as such, and therefore outside the vagaries of day-to-day political let alone economic interests.

According to Strauss... Nietzsche and Hume agree that the experience of fear or terror is the “original” primitive experience, they differ substantially on how early man responded to this experience. The matter of prephilosophic mind and religion is straightforward for Hume and in general for “English psychologists” because it has a basis in a rational, preservationist, utilitarian morality; but it is a complicated matter for Nietzsche... believes they on one hand do not go far enough in revealing the shameful, irrational, and even violent origins of morality.

a) that the Greek world is, from as early as we can tell, stratified into a conquering and a conquered people, an aristocratic element and a “banausic” or serf-like element...

b) that these two features of Greek life, namely the top-down imposition of order by a conquering elite and the separate and independent status of the warrior class, is likely what allows for a principle different from the fundamental democracy or fundamental collectivism to emerge...

c) that this principle consists, not in the preservation of a people or a collective, but in the struggle for individual superiority, understood as a matter of the supremacy of one’s “blood,” with direct analogy to the animal world, and which is manifested through physical supremacy, vitality, and battle prowess, and in the consequent acquisition of an “undying fame.”

This thesis is an attempt to show that the aristocratic regime, and aristocratic morality, is the origin of the idea of nature; that, at the point at which a historical aristocracy starts to decline, its defenders, in abstracting and radicalizing the case for aristocracy in the face of its critics, come upon the teaching of nature and the standard of nature in politics. It is precisely this teaching of nature, so corrosive of all convention and all morality, that is politically explosive, and that explains the deep connection between philosophy--the criminal study of nature outside the city and outside the myths and pieties of the regime--and tyranny--the criminal and feral regime of rule outside and above all law and all convention.

The “classic” modern case for why totalitarianism is a new phenomenon may be found in the work of Hannah Arendt. Totalitarianism is perceived as a novel form of regime based on the twin application of ideology and terror

...

in the study of “tyranny” it is impossible to reduce human agency to an impersonal force or to the milieu; the study of “tyranny,” more so than any other political phenomenon perhaps, is not separable from the human actor, in this case the person or persona of the tyrant.

This book will hopefully serve as a correction to this deliberate “hole” in our knowledge of the classics. It is also a beginning attempt to engage the new biological sciences from the point of view of the tradition of Western philosophy.

The discussion of the natural inequality of human groups is strictly forbidden. Being suspected of holding a belief that some individuals are superior is likely to get one called an elitist, or an eccentric. Saying the same about a group, with regard even to a limited quality, is going to get one called a racist and destroy one’s career. Therefore, those few who do question modern egalitarianism, who talk about virtue, and who even dare to bring up the natural inequality of individuals, always “politely” stop at the question of human groups.

The social and political meaning of breeding... is a question almost identical to the question of human superiority and inferiority.

The sexual market is the pinnacle of every other market.

This is a thesis about Nietzsche. My obsession with Nietzsche started when I was sixteen years old. Inspired by Nietzsche, I went back to Homer and to Plato and read them through Nietzsche’s provocations. These provocations also inspired me to learn Greek. I would guess I thought through the ideas behind this thesis around the time I was twenty-two years old. The fundamental problem that motivated me then as it does now: what is life as opposed to death, and what is life as full of life, as opposed to life as diminished life.

...

While it would greatly amuse me to claim now that I learned all my naughty ideas from my advisors, and that there is a secret Straussian finishing school for people like me of unusual persuasion, I think even they don’t deserve this. I’ve learned everything I care about on my own and certainly not from any professors. It’s not arrogant of me to say this, but the truth.

...

They enjoy the notoriety and the implication that they must be very powerful operators, or Machiavellian eminences-grises. This is much better than the thought that they are an ineffectual ladies’ reading group. They are so powerful that they’ve been almost completely eliminated from the few positions they once held at prominent universities. Other Straussians deny these claims but engage in a different outlandish self-flattery where they view themselves as preservers of classical philosophy and the light of freedom of thought, republican moderation, and so on...and other pieties of this kind. None of these things are true.

...

Critias, Socrates’ student, was the Hitler of the ancient Greek world. He and his friends established a regime based on atheistic biologism so to speak; on “Sparta radicalized,” a eugenic antinomian dictatorship. He was maybe what Hitler’s most hysterical detractors claim of him today. Critias killed more Athenians in his short rule than died in the decades of the war with Sparta. He expelled almost everyone from the city, and burned the docks, which were the perceived source of democratic power. He wasted all the priests of Eleusis for being tedious religious moralists. He saw the purpose of the Spartan constitution as the creation of one “supreme biological specimen,” and Critias sought to found a state based on such ideas. He and his friends were overthrown quite quickly.

...

dysgenics as opposed to eugenics combined with modern technology --another product of Socratic-Alexandrian scientific civilization--leads to mechanized and universalized dysgenics. I am trying to explain some of the implications of the work of Nietzsche for a world in which he is still the only prophet, and will remain so for some centuries.

SACRA VIRGINITAS, 1954.Turn our mind and heart in a special manner to those men and women, who, vowed to the service of God, are suffering bitter and terrible persecutions in not a few countries. Let them imitate the example of the consecrated virgins of the early Church who with courageous and indomitable hearts suffered martyrdom for the sake of their virginity.

to Congress of International UnionCatholic Women's Leagues, Sept 11 1947.Catholic women and girls, formerly you would have thought only of worthily playing your sacred and fruitful role in the management of a wholesome, strong, and radiant home; or you would have consecrated your life to the service of God in the composure of the cloister or in apostolic and charitable works. Beautiful ideals, where woman, in her proper place, and from her proper place, exercises quietly a powerful influence. But now you appear abroad, you enter the arena to take part in the battle: you have not sought to do so, but courageously you accept your new duties; not as resigned victims nor merely in a defensive spirit; you are determined to pass to the counter-attack and conquer.

QUESTA GRANDE VOSTRA ADUNATA, 1945.Ask yourself: How is that God-given dignity of womankind to be maintained and enhanced, especially today and in the circumstances in which Providence has placed us?

DAVANTI A QUESTA, 1941.

Christian mothers and beloved daughters, of your incomparable mission -- fraught in these days with so many difficulties and obstacles -- We have been able only briefly to describe the glories. What a majestic figure is that of the mother in the home as she fulfills her destiny at the cradle side, the nurse and teacher of her little ones! Hers is truly a task full of labor, and We should be tempted to deem her unequal to it were it not for the grace of God which is ever at hand to enlighten, direct, and sustain her in her daily anxieties and toil; were it not, too, for those other educators, mother-like in spirit and energy, whom she calls to aid her in the formation of these youthful souls. Imploring God to fill you to overflowing with His graces and to give increase to your manifold labors on behalf of the young entrusted to you, We grant you from Our heart, as a pledge of Heavenly favors, Our fatherly Apostolic Benediction.

CASTI CONNUBII, 1930.

As Saint Augustine admirably deduces from the words of the holy Apostle Saint Paul to Timothy when he says: "The Apostle himself is therefore a witness that marriage is for the sake of generation: 'I wish' he says 'young girls to marry.' And as if someone said to him, 'Why?' he immediately adds: 'To bear children, to be mothers of families'.

ARCANUM, 1880. The great weight and crucial test of history, by which it is plainly proved that the legislative and judicial authority of which We are speaking has been freely and constantly used by the Church, even in times when some foolishly suppose the head of the State either to have consented to it or connived at it. It would be incredible and altogether absurd to assume that Christ our Lord condemned the long-standing practice of polygamy and divorce by authority delegated to Him by the procurator of the province, or the principal ruler of the Jews. And it would be equally extravagant to think that, when the Apostle Paul taught that divorces and incestuous marriages were not lawful, it was because Tiberius, Caligula, and Nero agreed with him or secretly commanded him so to teach. No man in his senses could ever be persuaded that the Church made so many laws about the holiness and indissolubility of marriage, and the marriages of slaves with the free-born, by power received from Roman emperors most hostile to the Christian name whose strongest desire was to destroy by violence and murder the rising Church of Christ. Still less could anyone believe this to be the case when the law of the Church was sometimes so divergent from the civil law that Ignatius the Martyr, Justin, Athenagoras and Tertullian publicly denounced as unjust and adulterous certain marriages which had been sanctioned by imperial law. (at Saint Peter’s in Rome, February 1880)

If you are a masochist who likes women with vestigial penises, then by all means knock yourself out with the Amazonian Alpha. This is what you need to keep in mind to seduce her:

DON’T accept her challenges.
DON’T answer shit tests ad infinitum.
DON’T brag about your achievements.
DON’T be ordinary.
DON’T be beta.
DON’T talk about her father.
DO stroke her ego.
DO qualify her hard.
DO fuck her like a silverback gorilla.
DO dump her after getting your rocks off.

Why would you want to spend your life with a nutcrushing battleaxe like this?

Eternal Ingenues either came from divorced families with fathers who bought their love and loyalty, or they had a caring beta father heading an all-female family who had to divide his love between women. You’ll know if you are dating a potential Ingenue if you meet her girlfriends and they are all overprotective and annoyingly sassy cougars-in-training. The Eternal Ingenue HATES competition from attractive girls her own age.

The best answer to female nastiness is calm. As long as your demeanor is calm and you look unflustered, you will knock a nasty cunt off her game plan. She’s expecting one reaction; you’re giving her another.

To sum up, don’t kiss at the very beginning or the desperate end of a first date, don’t force a kiss if she isn’t giving indicators of interest, escalate physical contact until you ideally begin kissing her in the middle to last third of a date, and wait to kiss her when you’re settled into an intimate location.

...

Girls who are being seduced properly want to be kissed. Always check for dilating pupils, hair twisting, leg opening, lip licking, heel dangling, head cocking, bar stool swiveling, drink swilling, incidental thigh touching, and hand on chin head propping.

Women love to bitch and moan about their men. It’s in their blood. But it matters not, most of the time. As long as you smite her heart with your heraldic war pike of forged steel alphaness, her bitching and moaning will waft into the ether, having no influence whatsoever on her desire to cling to you. In fact, bitching and moaning is often a sign that the woman is deeply in love, for such a powerfully debilitating emotion ushers forth a fusillade of half-hearted complaints as a grounding mechanism to steady her so that she can make at least semi-cogent rationalizations why she can’t get enough of your asshole-ery.

All humans want to be fascinated. Kurt Cobain had it right -- here we are now, entertain us. Men are entertained by tits, ass and face. Women are entertained by male charisma and psychosocial savviness. They want to be kept on their toes, forever wondering what kind of man you are. Defying a woman’s expectations is the equivalent of a big-boobed woman taking off her sweater and shoving her cleavage in a man’s face.

Pre-selected by women? Nude French girls. Check.

Protector of loved ones? Helped French girls escape drug lord. Check.

Leader of men? Rescued boy from drowning. Check.

Much improved.

A takeaway is the act of feigning disinterest in a woman for the purpose of increasing her attraction for you ... Takeaways are the Swiss Army knives of seduction, as they can be used at almost any point during the pickup, with equal effectiveness.

Distracting a girl from her orderly existence is the first step to fornication.

You should be teasing your girlfriend or wife like this nearly every day of her life. Women LOVE LOVE LOVE men who don’t take them seriously. And what better way to convey an aloof disregard for her pride than through teasing?

Range of Responses:1. Sincerity “I’ve been dating someone for a bit, but I can’t say for sure she is the one.”2. Lying: “No.”3. Evasion / ReframingFew women will follow-up an expertly delivered evasion with cunty lawyerly argumentation. This is because women who ask such questions don’t really want to know the unvarnished answer. The question is asked only to give them plausible deniability should they find themselves bedding a taken man.4. Circumspection“I’m dating around.”This is my favorite answer, regardless of its accuracy. First, it shuts down further inquiry. Second, it leaves things open to interpretation.5. Challenge“I’m not tied down yet.”6. Agree & Amplify“One?”7. Aloofness“Nothing serious.”

Ignore her calls for a week. When you eventually answer and she reads you the riot act, act as if nothing was wrong and accuse her of sabotaging a perfectly good relationship, “just like all the other women in this stupid city. I thought you were different”. Hang up on her angrily.

Don’t be shitfaced.
Don’t target the obnoxious attention whores.
Look for signs of ovulation in your targets.
Start direct, then switch to indirect, then back to direct.
It’s obvious, but bears repeating: overconfidence is king in direct game.
Avoid romantic flattery.
Be prepared to lead, every second.
Don’t overgame.

There is a critical distinction between being a “caring asshole” that signals to women you are desperate for their vaginas, and being an aloof “uncaring asshole” that signals to women you could do without their vaginas, which ironically makes their vaginas feel strong love.

Any religion or teaching which denies the Natural Laws of the Universe is false.
Nature’s Law are the work of a God - Force.
God and religion are distinct, separate and often conflicting concepts.
The truest form of prayer is communion with Nature.
Secular power systems promote religions that abandon defense against predators in this life.
History is a fable promulgated by those who perceive benefits.
Religion in most beneficial form is symbology of People and culture.
What men call the “super natural” is actually the “natural” not yet understood or revealed.
Proliferation of laws with the resultant loss of freedom is a sign of, and directly proportional to, spiritual sickness in a Nation.
If a Nation is devoid of spiritual health and moral character, then government and unprincipled men will fill the vacancy.
Truth requires little explanation. Therefore, beware of verbose doctrines. The great principles are revealed in brevity.
Truth does not fear investigation.
Unfounded belief is pitfall. A People who do not check the validity and effect of their beliefs with reason will suffer or perish.
In accord with Nature’s Laws, nothing is more right than the preservation of one’s own race.
No greater motivating force exists than the certain conviction that one is right.
Discernment is a sign of a healthy People.
Discernment includes the ability to recognize the difference between belief and demonstrable reality.
There exists no such thing as rights or privileges under the Laws of Nature.
A people who are not convinced of their uniqueness and value will perish.
The White race has suffered invasions and brutality from Africa and Asia for thousands of years.
People who allow others not of their race to live among them will perish.
In the final analysis, a race or specie is not judged superior or inferior by its accomplishments, but by its will and ability to survive.
Political, economic, and religious systems may be destroyed and resurrected by men, but the death of a race is eternal.
People need territorial imperatives in which to propagate, protect, and promote their own kind.
A People without a culture exclusively their own will perish.
Nature has put a certain antipathy between races and species to preserve the individuality and existence of each.
It is not constructive to hate those of other races, or even those of mixed races.
The concept of a multi-racial society violates every Natural Law for specie preservation.
The concept of “equality” is declared a lie by every evidence of Nature.
The instincts for racial and specie preservation are ordained by Nature.
Instincts are Nature’s perfect mechanism for the survival of each race and specie.
Miscegenation, that is race-mixing is - and has always been - the greatest threat to the survival of the Aryan race.
Inter-specie compassion is contrary to the Laws of Nature and is therefore suicidal.
The instinct for sexual union is part of Nature’s perfect mechanism for specie preservation.
Homosexuality is a crime against Nature.
Sexual pornography degrades the Nature of all who are involved.
That race whose males will not fight to death to keep and mate with their females will perish.
In a sick and dying nation political dissent and traditional values will be labeled and persecuted as heinous crimes.
A People who are ignorant of their past will defile the present and destroy the future.
A race must honor above all earthly things, those who have given their lives or freedom for the preservation of the folk.
Racial loyalties must always supersede geographical and national boundaries.
Choose only a nation's leaders who have no interest in the accumulation of material things.
Those who seek to expand the power of government are base tyrants.
No government can give anything to anybody without first taking it from another.

There are genuine assholes who are loved, and there are spiteful assholes who get nowhere. The difference is crucial.

Uncaring asshole = success with women.

Caring asshole = failure with women.

Disqualifications as a powerful pickup tool:

Preemptive self-disqualification
Target disqualification
Handicap Principle self-disqualification
Beta bait disqualification

Guys' inner game is so geared toward trying to impress her that they never even think to turn the tables and interview HER for the job. When women go on dates, they are interviewing the guys, whether they admit this or not. The way to defeat her at her own game is not to accept her terms of engagement at all. Instead, flip the script.

Adopt a frame of mind that is infused with sexuality. Everything begins in the mind. When I see an attractive girl across the room and start walking toward her I immediately picture her naked and writhing under my sheets, sweating in ecstasy. When I am talking with her and it is clear that we click, I imagine what it would feel like to touch her bare skin. I am kissing her before our lips have committed to the kiss. As we delve deeper into conversation, a part of me visualizes peeling off her clothes and imagining ...

Let this be a lesson. Very good looks on a man without any game will buy him 30 seconds to ten minutes of an attractive girl’s attention, after which he will be unceremoniously and disappointedly discarded just like any regular run of the mill schlub who doesn’t understand the art of seduction. Men need to stop projecting their fascination with looks onto women; personality and alphaness are what electrify a woman’s pleasure center.

If you’re tongue-tied, mentally masturbating about the cleverness quotient of the opener you are mulling in your head is worse than staying silent. If the choice is between sullen silence and blurting out whatever nonsensical crap comes to you, always go with the nonsensical crap.

Women have evolved to be perceptive of a man’s emotional state and body language is the physical manifestation of inner game, so that’s what women key in on first.

Common beta body language mistakes I see guys making:

Walking over to the girl too quickly.
Doing everything too fast.
Being too stiff.
Closed body language.
Holding drinks too high.
Adjusting himself.
Leaning in – pecking.
Weak eye contact.
High pitched, incessant fast talking.
Beta body positioning.
Poor stance.
Poor sitting.
Showing his palms too frequently.
Forgetting to touch the girl.
Not smiling or smiling at the wrong times.
Animated facial gesturing.
Moving out of the way to accommodate others.
Facing the girl directly.

Now go forth, lubricate vaginas with the power of your presence.

Girls are more interchangeable than you’d think; don’t get sucked into “one-itis”.
If you date one girl exclusively and she really turns you on, you WILL give off a needy vibe at some point during the pre-sex seduction (no matter how much experience you have).
A good date means nothing; the only thing that matters is penis in vagina.
You will find it easier to close the deal with your number one girl if you are banging a number two and three girl.
Approach the game while dating as ardently as you do when you are dating no one.
Never, EVER, feel guilty for dating and banging many girls simultaneously.
A hot chick is MORE likely, not less, to continue seeing you if you tell her you are “dating around”.

Basic Examples of:

Screening her for anti-marriage beliefs.
Screening her for loathing of children.
Screening her for generosity.
Screening her for fidelity.
Screening her for wife and mother potential.
Screening her for sluttiness.
Screening her for femininity.
Screening her for romanticism.
Screening her for willingness to please you.

Find & Foment women’s flaws.

A few methods for immunity from women's hypnosis:

Bed a lot of them.
Train your mind away from pedestalization of female beauty.
Get into a line of work where you are ordering beautiful women to do your bidding.
Hang out with hot girls when they’re wasted and pissing themselves and vomiting.
Never stop macking.

The default barter mechanism in the sexual market is female choice, male display ...

Turning the tables and exercising male choice is such a powerful psychological game technique for seducing the minds of women. By behaving as if you are actively choosing women, and even occasionally rejecting them, you mimic the natural actions of the top 10% of men whose default mating strategy is choosing from an illimitable source of pussy and wielding the merciless power of sexual rejection.

We calibrate our actions and behavior to match the other person’s. Women, being the gatekeepers and mate choosers, are responsible for how men strategize to get in their pants and their hearts. If a girl makes it hard for a guy to be sincere by playing Miss Scheming Queen, he will react with more game. If she’s letting him know how much she loves him, he will be real with her.

You get what you give.

TL;DR - Don’t make a habit of banging ugly chicks. It can be as bad for your self-confidence as involuntary celibacy.

The most important change in thinking you can make:

You are not there to win over women, they are there to win over you.

Keep saying this over and over until you begin to believe it. You are re-wiring yourself. Don’t worry about the truth or falsity of it. That’s irrelevant.

The beauty of this system is that it turns the seduction template on its head.

I can’t tell you the exact moment of redemption, but I can say that the energy between them got a boost in the second or two after he dropped what can only be charitably described as a couched insult.

“Well at least you’re still in your heels. Most girls like you are trading in for flats at this hour.”

Her head snapped back. She was at full attention. Gone was the exasperated sideways glance for a rescuer, replaced by flushed indignation that is the telltale mark of blood pipelined directly between the hamster and the vagina. A few hollow protests to the contrary notwithstanding, she fell quickly into his orbit and they were off to the races. He had pricked her safe and secure but ultimately flimsy bitch bubble, and she could not be happier for it.

What the Natural has that mere mortals don’t is this: UNSTOPPABLE CONFIDENCE. They had the ALPHA ATTITUDE at a young enough age that it became ingrained to such an extent they rarely yield to the temptation to doubt their appeal to women.

But the Externally Validated Natural who has spent a lifetime leaning on his looks, social connections, or fame to get laid has a dilemma ... the most pathetic thing in the world is a natural who has lost his mojo.

The very blessing that makes The Natural an early adopter ladykiller is the curse that hobbles him later in life when challenges arise that introduce cracks to his impenetrable edifice of entitlement.

There’s a dirty little secret they don’t want you to know. And everyone is in cahoots, from the alphas to the betas to the keepers of the vagina. It is this: You don’t need to play by their rules to get what you want! Women will still FLOCK to you if you shit all over everything you were taught you needed to do to earn their love as long as you do it with STYLE and UNWAVERING BOLDNESS and a TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT attitude. Because the simple truth is that the right attitude counts for more than all the material possessions in the world.

She graduated from a top-tier Ivy. Her degree is in a numbers-related field. She is hot, a hard 8.5. Her body is worthy of a sacrificial fuckening. According to my sources, when she isn’t with her alpha-squared asshole boyfriend, she is one of the smartest, most put-together and confident girls in a room. The ditz act, apparently, only blossoms in his presence. Her girl friends are jealous of her even though they hate what she becomes when she’s with him. And the blow that I know will sting beta males the worst? She COULD have almost any man she wanted -- good men, solid company men, respectable men of their communities -- but she chooses to be with an arrogant renegade.

And him? Decent looking. Easy on the eyes, I suppose most women would say. Certainly not Hollywood looks. Not a big or muscular guy. Lean to the point of skinny. Edgy, downscale style. She showed up at this event poured into an exquisite cocktail dress. He arrived late with her, wearing frayed designer jeans and an untucked tight flannel shirt over a white Hanes wifebeater that was showing through the top. Most of the other men were wearing suits. He was short. Yes, he might have been a half inch shorter than his gf. Unemployed.

The essence of alpha maledom all comes down to inspiring beautiful women to, first and foremost, desire your poundage, and then to desire your continual poundage, and finally to desire your love. If you can seduce a hot babe into bed multiple times, then seduce her into love, and then do this same thing with many hot babes over the course of your life, you are an alpha male, no matter what else you have or have not accomplished in your life.

If Female hotness = 0, it takes 1 nanosecond until Male Boredom: Neural disgust registers before conscious awareness.If Female hotness = 1, 1 millisecond to Male Boredom: the Time to retinal burn.For hotness = 2, 1 minute to Boredom.For hotness = 3, 3-6 minutes of trying to find a redeeming quality beforeFor hotness = 4, 30-120 minutes: looking for a same-night lay.For Female Hotness = 5, 3-5 weeks until Male Boredom: charmed, then annoyed, pillow talk excruciating, then intolerable after third bang.For Hotness = 6, 2-3 months until Boredom: she's the best he's ever had, but he's either put off by her beer pong hobby – low IQ – or emasculated by her sharp tongue – high IQ.For Hotness = 7, 9-18 months until Boredom: a beta's heaven, but either the 'tard kills boners or relationship inherently unstable if she's clever.For Hotness = 8, 5 years until Boredom: she's too hot for him to care about her being dumb or nerdy, but even a beta will eventually get tired.For Hotness = 9, he doesn't notice anything else about her but they stay together 30 years until the beta suffers a seizure from the constant stream of sex endorphins.For Hotness = 10, basically forever but this would never happen.As you can see, it is almost guaranteed that men of every status rank will grow bored with their girlfriends, dates, wives, fuck-buddies without an external injection of groinal stimulation. There is only one way a man can delay Time To Boredom:Girl 1, Girl 2 ...

Any uncontrollable force that strips beauty from the world is my enemy. How much grander and pleasurable life if women stayed beautiful for 100 years instead of a precious 15 years? How much love would my heart shout at the world if the pool of beautiful women was every woman, everywhere, forevermore, and not just a small sliver of women with power so fleeting it may as well be a curse than a blessing?

...

for 95% of women, by the age of 30 years, only 12% of their maximum ovarian reserve is present, and by the age of 40 years only 3% remains. I find this news depressing, because female fertility and sexual attractiveness closely parallel.

18-21. You can bang surprisingly quickly because they have little ASD: anti-slut defense.

28-30. A single girl who dumped by her boyfriend who has just turned 29 may be the easiest girl in the world to lay.

31-34. Most time consuming broads to game: emphasis on comfort stage, lots of travel stories, run vulnerability game.

Game required: “Hi”.

36-38. She is at peace with Spinsterhood and failure in the dating market; will acquiesce easily and gratefully.

Notice: sexual satisfaction and long term potential are inversely related.

How to identify a slut:

She broaches the subject of sex first.
She suggests kinky sex acts.
She’s neurotic and disagreeable.
She frequently goes commando.
She’s got that crazy, hyper, coked-up look in her eyes.
She shows a lot of cleavage all the time.
She really seems to know what she’s doing in bed.
She has an impressive collection of vibrators and admits to wacking off to porn.
She asks you how many women you’ve slept with or accuses you of being a player.
She seems “hard”.
She’s incredibly circumspect or incredibly forthcoming about her past or sex in general.
She’s an artsy type.
She tells you about all the places she’s traveled.
She never has a break between men longer than one week.
You’re tapping her for the first time and she doesn’t remind you to put on a condom.
She never stops shit testing you.
She buys you a lot of gifts.
She’s OK with making out in bars.
She lets you snort coke off her ass.
She’s black.
She has a lot of slutty friends.
Her cunt is cavernous.
Your gut tells you she may be a slut.

What doesn’t make a quality girl:

She has cheated more than three times in her life, or has cheated more than once on the same boyfriend.
She forgets to say “thank you” when you buy her a drink. Buying her a second drink confirms her ingratitude.
She dates around. Dating around -- specifically, seeing more than one person concurrently -- is a prerogative of men only, for reasons having to do with the greater leverage men need to arm themselves with to compete in a dating market that is fundamentally tilted in favor of women. Any girl who makes a habit of dating more than one guy at a time, especially if the parallel dating lasts longer than one month, in order to milk her options is a bad seed. In all my years of banging, one soulsaving thing I’ve learned is to walk away from any girl who I’ve discovered is also dating other men. Even if I beat the competition and win her over, it never ends well.
She tells you she has a long distance boyfriend she loves, then proceeds to bang you anyway. A few months later, you see her groping a new guy, and she’s still with her boyfriend. That relationship is doomed.
Her default mode is sarcasm, negativity, coarseness, and shamelessness.
She spends twice as much time getting ready for a house party than she spends getting ready for a date with you.
She can’t control her impulse to flirt with other men. Double minus points if she does this in your presence.
She doesn’t seem nervous undressing in front of you the first time.
She fucks you on a pretense of less than the sum total of an hour of conversation, and calls you the next day worried that your condom-less sex might have given her something. She’s been down this road before.
She is proud to be on the pill and considers her dependence on it a carte blanche slut sanctioner instead of a safety net affection fortifier.
She is cavalier about casual sex.

Top 3 girlfriend material qualities, in no particular order:

She exercised and ate healthily before she met you, and she continues to do so after you start dating her seriously.
She rarely disparages her girlfriends or snipes about their flaws behind their backs.
She has not had many past lovers, and she is not a constitutional flirt who will invite the temptation of more lovers.

God bless women. Just when you are about to resign yourself to the thought that they are made of nothing but sugar and spice and everything nice, you are reminded of the arsenic laced within.

Clark Gable & Norman Shearer: the 1931 woman didn’t want plain vanilla and no longer wanted “powder puff” men with styled hair and ruffles on their shirts—they wanted a real man, a rough man, a man who was a bit dirty and not afraid to put them in their place.

This goal cannot be achieved by the conservative’s usual ham-fisted methods of calling for more punishment of men, making endless excuses for women, and putting everyone to sleep with moral exhortation about the sacredness of marriage. Instead, we must consider the actual incentives now operating upon men and women, as economists long ago learned to do, and focus our efforts on altering them in ways conducive to family formation.

Review of Allan Carlson's "Third Ways: How Bulgarian Greens, Swedish Housewives, and Beer Swilling Englishmen Created Family-Centered Economies—And Why They Disappeared" (ISI Books, 2007)

...

Ellen Karolina Sofia Key: socialist, feminist, eugenics advocate, disciple of Darwin and Nietzsche. None of these commitments prevented her from laying heavy emphasis on the maternal role and its importance to individual women, their children and the society of the future. Woman was “most free,” she wrote, “in the physical and psychic exercise of the function of maternity.” The mother was an “artist in education” who understood “the enormous significance of the first years.” What she most requires to fulfill this role properly is time, time and again time.” She believed the State should place as high a priority upon proper mothering as upon military service. For many years a popular women’s magazine, Morning Breeze, propagated Key’s ideal of the socialist housewife, carrying illustrations of athletic-looking Nietzschean Übermütter surrounded by swarms of healthy children.

The linchpin of our family policy objectives must be the reestablishment of presumptive custody of children by their father. Women who wish to abandon their husband must forfeit their parental prerogatives and all claim to spousal support. That means dismantling the entire divorce industry.Second, and in connection with the subject of the present essay, men must reestablish their rightful position in the world of work: I propose the slogan “Take Back the Day.” This will require an end to anti-discrimination law as it relates to the sexes.

Spain has already passed a law providing for the arrest of men who fail to do half the housework. Similar moves are afoot in Germany. One wonders what action the international sisterhood will suggest against the men now opting for bachelorhood: conscripting them to serve as butlers for lesbians, perhaps?

The contemporary white-collar employee is dependent upon a boss for his livelihood, and must therefore be deferential, diplomatic, and often less than forthright about what he thinks. It is not hard to see which sex is better at this sort of behavior. Women are cunning and play their cards close to their chest: an evolutionary adaptation left over from the days when their survival and reproductive success depended on an ability to manipulate males physically stronger than themselves. Today, it makes them naturals at office politics.

Most men find the atmosphere of the modern workplace stifling and tedious, and women themselves are seldom attracted to the sort of docile, gelded drudges that manage to succeed in it. But men cannot find refuge at home either, because the women who might have made homes for them are out competing against them in the activities of the broader society.

Marriage is often said to exist for the protection of women, and certainly the male protective instinct is much in evidence in most male criticism of the sexual revolution. Principally, however, what they need protecting from is not men intent upon one-night stands—it is their own irrationality, irresponsibility, immaturity, and short-sightedness. One might even legitimately speak of a need to protect women from the delusions of feminism and liberation.

Motherhood is what really forces young women to grow up

...

Wealth becomes a family inheritance. In Burke’s fine words: “The power of perpetuating our property in our families is one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends most to the perpetuation of society itself. It makes our weakness subservient to our virtue; it grafts benevolence even upon avarice.” By contrast, the characteristically modern view of property finds its clearest expression in the title of a bestselling 1998 financial planning guide: Die Broke.

In place of family formation, we find a “dating scene” without any clear goal, in which men and women are both consumed with the effort to get the other party to close options – “commit” – while keeping their own open. There is a hectic and never-ending jockeying for position: fighting off the competition on the one hand, keeping an eye out for a better deal elsewhere on the other.

Advanced societies are often marked by a nostalgic “quest for community,” in Robert Nisbet’s phrase, but members of such societies often fail to appreciate that a return to community would necessarily entail a sacrifice in freedom of personal action—and possibly in material standard of living as well. These are the waters in which cult leaders and demagogues fish. Prominent among such false prophets in recent times have been feminists, calling the duties of married life “slavery” when they are in reality the indispensable basis for the family, and therefore of all real community.

Even today one can find men with six-figure salaries who cannot get out of debt. They do not live beyond their means; their wives do. In Schopenhauer’s words, “Women think men are intended to earn money so that they may spend it.” One of the traditional goals of rearing daughters has been precisely to disabuse them of this “natural” feminine way of thinking.

Romantic Literature is the functional equivalent of pornography for women. But while a great deal has been written to deplore the spread of pornography in our society, almost no serious attention has been directed to the causes and effects of romance fiction. My hunch is that its influence is actually more pernicious than pornography, because women have so much greater natural power than men to determine real-world courtship and marriage patterns.

Spoiled by prosperity, women actually came to believe the chivalrous pretense and forgot the underlying economic reality. They expect men to be grateful for the opportunity to support them... Men cannot simply go on behaving in the old manner as though nothing were wrong. It is incumbent upon them to fight back against the forces arrayed against them, in part by emphasizing some home truths about the economic realities of marriage. Perhaps it is time for young men to stop paying for dates and coyly explain that they are “saving their wallets” for marriage. If that sounds cynical to a traditional sensibility, my answer is that such cynicism may simply be the price for reestablishing the natural family as the basis of our civilization.

The feminist either refuses to fulfill her natural role or at best does so resentfully, sullenly, and poorly. For that reason, feminism should not be treated merely as a personal folly on the part of some misguided or spoiled women—it is a mortal threat to any society in which it truly takes hold. Enemies of heterosexual cooperation and procreation are enemies of the human race.

The high standing of women in our civilization not only long predates feminist ideology but is logically incompatible with it. To understand why, one needs to keep two points in mind: 1. women’s traditional status was linked to behavioral expectations—fulfilling the duties of their station; and 2. it assumed qualitative differences and complementarity – rather than “fair” competition between the sexes....As long as cases of female adultery were few enough, they could be passed off to men as freaks of nature ... on the other hand, wives in their millions act upon the feminist plan of “liberation,” walk out on their husbands, separate them from their children, bankrupt them in divorce court, and shack up with other men, that system breaks down. That is where we are today.

As a service to my female readers, I would like to reveal what makes a man commit. It is in fact an extremely simple matter, although carefully unmentioned in women’s magazines: children. A normal man feels morally committed to a woman who is bearing him children he can feel certain are his. The survival of our civilization may depend upon women’s speedily reacquainting themselves with this ancient and timeless reality.

"Men will have to demand nothing less than the full reestablishment of what feminists call patriarchy"

Three obstacles to male recognition of female infidelity:

a kind of high-minded attitude that “my wife simply isn’t ‘that kind’ of woman,” which usually amounts to wishful thinking;
an invalid inference from the wife’s lack of interest in sexual relations with them to a lack of sexual interests generally; and
a failure to discuss and compare notes on marital problems with other men, as women routinely do with one another.

Nature dictates that males display and females choose. Monogamy artificially strengthens the male’s position by insisting that

each female must choose a different male; and
each female must stick to her choice.

Abolishing marriage only strengthens the naturally stronger: it strengthens the female at the expense of the male and the attractive at the expense of the unattractive.

The Christian endorsement of celibacy was a liberalization of sexual morality; it recognized there could be legitimate motives for remaining unmarried. One social function of the celibate religious orders was to give that minority of men and women unsuited for or disinclined to marriage a socially acceptable way of avoiding it.

The only thing still propping up the present feminist bureaucratic regime is the continued willingness of many of the hated “heterosexual white males” to live according to the old rules: not only to work, save, pay taxes and obey the law, but also to sire and raise children. Once we stop doing these things, the whole system of patronage and parasitism collapses.

Consider the sexual harassment movement.

As it spreads, the number of men who have not been accused steadily diminishes. Eventually a point is reached where initially sympathetic men understand that they themselves are no longer safe, that their innocence does not protect them or their jobs. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this point is being reached in many workplaces. Men are developing a self-defensive code of avoiding all unnecessary words or contact with women.

...

Meanwhile, men have begun to realize that any sexual intimacy with a woman can lead to date rayp charges based upon things that go on in her mind afterwards, and over which he has no control. Women do frequently attempt to evade responsibility for their sexual conduct by ascribing it to the men involved. Without any social or legal enforcement of marriage, this leaves chastity as a man’s only means of self-defense.

A male sex strike was probably beyond the imagination even of Aristophanes. But it may be a mistake to underestimate men. We, and not women, have been the builders, sustainers and defenders of civilization.

Kick a friendly dog often enough and eventually you have a mean dog on your hands. ... Western woman has become the new “white man’s burden,” and the signs are that he is beginning to throw it off.

There are two ways for women not to be monogamous: by having more than one mate and . . . by having less than one. Let us now consider the spinsters as well as the sluts.

No one will sign up for a campaign against women or children, but many men can easily be made to condemn other men. The result is that young men today are in an impossible situation. If they seek a mate they are predators; if they find one they are date raypists; if they want to avoid the whole ordeal they are immature and irresponsible for not committing. We have gone from a situation where it seemed everything was permitted to one where nothing is permitted.

What happens when female sexual desire is liberated is not an increase in the total amount of sex available to men, but a redistribution of the existing supply. Society becomes polygamous. A situation emerges in which most men are desperate for wives, but most women are just as desperately throwing themselves at a very few exceptionally attractive men. These men, who have always found it easy to get a mate, now get multiple mates.

A characteristic feature of decadent societies is the recrudescence of primitive, pre-civilized cultural forms. That is what is happening to us. Sexual liberation really means the Darwinian mating pattern of the baboon pack reappears among humans.

Once monogamy is abolished, no restriction is placed on a woman’s choices. Hence, all women choose the same few men. If Casanova had 132 lovers it is because 132 different women chose him. Such men acquire harems, not because they are predators, but because they happen to be attractive. The problem is not so much male immorality as simple arithmetic; it is obviously impossible for every woman to have exclusive possession of the most attractive man. If women want to mate simply as their natural drives impel them, they must, rationally speaking, be willing to share their mate with others.

In college I observed decent, clean-living men left alone while notorious adulterers had no difficulty going from one girlfriend to the next.

Commentators on contemporary mores rarely show awareness of this irrationality in female mate selection. I recall seeing an article some years ago in which a planned new college was touted as a boon to young women seeking “Christian husbands,” on the naive assumption that they must be doing so. There was no talk of helping young men find faithful wives, of course.

It is a cliché of political philosophy that the less self-restraint citizens are able to exercise, the more they must be constrained from without. The practical necessity of such a trade-off can be seen in such extraordinary upheavals as the French and Russian Revolutions. First, old and habitual patterns and norms are thrown aside in the name of freedom. When the ensuing chaos becomes intolerable, some group with the requisite ambition, self-assurance, and ruthlessness succeeds in forcibly imposing its own order on the weakened society. This is what gradually happened in the case of the sexual revolution also, with the role of Jacobins / Bolsheviks being assumed by the feminists.

Looking about them for some legal and moral basis for enforcing this novel claim, they hit upon the age-old prohibition against rayp. Feminists understand rayp, however, not as a violation of a woman’s chastity or marital fidelity, but of her merely personal wishes. They are making use of the ancient law against rayp to enforce not respect for feminine modesty but obedience to female whims. Their ideal is not the man whose self-control permits a woman to exercise her own, but the man who is subservient to a woman’s good pleasure—the man who behaves, not like a gentleman, but like a dildo.

...

the situation changes when millions of spoiled, impressionable young women have been convinced men are “harassing” them and that the proper response is to appeal to force of law and the police powers of the state. Men are being denied due process, ruined professionally, and threatened with particularly harsh punishments for any retaliation against the women accusing them of a newly-invented and deliberately ill-defined crime. They may, for prudential reasons, outwardly conform to the new rules. But it is unlikely that the traditional reluctance in foro interno to use force against women can long survive the present pattern of female behavior. Women would do well to ponder this.

Moral rule number one, we all know, is that all sex between consenting adults is licit. She just isn’t sure whether she had really wanted this. In fact, the more she thinks about it, the more certain she feels that she hadn’t. But if she hadn’t wanted it, then it was against her will, wasn’t it? And if it was against her will, that means . . . she’s been raypd?

I sympathize with the young woman, in view of a miseducation which might have been consciously designed to leave her unprepared for the situation she got herself into. But as to the question of whether she was raypd, the answer must be a clear no.

...

Two generations of women have been led to believe that doing as they please should lead to happiness and involve no risk. Hence the moral sophistry of “I didn’t like it; ergo I didn’t want it; ergo it was against my will.”

...

Now, every duty does imply a right: if we have a duty to provide for our children or defend our country we necessarily possess the right to do so as well. Formerly, insofar as sexual rights were recognized, they were understood to have this character of resting upon duties. Thus, a woman did indeed have the right to refuse the sexual advances of any man not her husband. But this was only because she was not understood to have any moral right to accept a proposal of fornication or adultery – even in the absence of legal sanctions therefore.

The reason rayp was regarded as a particularly odious form of assault is that it violated this superpersonal moral principle by which a woman subordinated her momentary private desires to the well-being of those closest to her. Modesty had to be respected, or else protected, if it was to perform its essential social function of guarding the integrity of families.

The actual outbreak of the sexual revolution occurred when significant numbers of young women began acting on the new utopian plan. This seems to have occurred on many college campuses in the nineteen-sixties. Women who took birth-control pills and committed fornication with any man who caught their fancy claimed they were liberating themselves from the slavery of marriage. The men, urged by their youthful hormones, frequently went along with this, but were not as happy about it as they are sometimes represented. Columnist Paul Craig Roberts recalls: I was a young professor when it all started and watched a campus turn into a brothel. The male students were perplexed, even the left-wing ones who had been taught to regard female chastity as oppression. I still remember the resident Marxist who, high on peyote, came to me to complain that “nice girls are ruining themselves.”

This should not be surprising. Most men prefer a virgin bride; this is a genuine aspect of male erotic desire favoring monogamy, and hence in constant tension with the impulse to seek sexual variety.

...

while both sexes were supposed to practice monogamy, it was considered especially important for women to do so. Why is this?

In the first place, they tend to be better at it. This is not due to any moral superiority of the female, as many men are pleased to believe, but to their lower levels of testosterone and their slower sexual cycle: ovulation at the rate of one gamete per month.

Secondly, if women are all monogamous, the men will perforce be monogamous anyway: it is arithmetically impossible for polygamy to be the norm for men throughout a society because of the human sex ratio at birth.

Thirdly, the private nature of the sexual act and the nine month human gestation period mean that, while there is not normally doubt as to who the mother of a particular baby is, there may well be doubt regarding the father. Female fidelity is necessary to assure the husband that his wife’s children are also his.

Fourthly, women are, next to children, the main beneficiaries of marriage. Most men work their lives away at jobs they do not much care for in order to support wife and family. For women, marriage coincides with economic rationality; for a man, going to a prostitute is a better deal.

Accordingly, chastity before marriage and fidelity within it are the very least a woman owes her husband. Indeed, on the traditional view, she owes him a great deal more. She is to make a home for him, return gratitude and loyalty for his support of her, and accept his position as head of the family.

The female has far greater control over mating.

The universal law of nature is that males display and females choose. Male peacocks spread their tails, females choose. Male rams butt horns, females choose. Among humans, boys try to impress girls--and the girls choose. Nature dictates that in the mating dance, the male must wait to be chosen.

...

An average man would seem to be good enough for the average woman by definition. If women were to mate with all the men “worthy” of them they would have little time for anything else. To repeat, hypergamy is distinct from monogamy. It is an irrational instinct, and the female sexual utopia is a consequence of that instinct.

The sexual revolution in America was an attempt by women to realize their own utopia, not that of men. Female utopians came forward publicly with plans a few years after Kinsey and Playboy. Helen Gurley Brown’s Sex and the Single Girl appeared in 1962, and she took over Cosmopolitan magazine three years later. Notoriously hostile to motherhood, she explicitly encouraged women to use men – including married men – for pleasure.

Among humans, twelve million sperm per hour in men vs. four hundred eggs over the course of a lifetime in women. Higher gamete production is, indeed, the biological definition of “male”; when biologists discover an exotic new species, they determine which sex is which by comparing their rate of gamete production.

...

Even slight differences between genetic fitness in men can be perceived by women, who are naturally attuned to making such comparisons, and they translate into big differences in male reproductive success. This is especially true in a polygamous society, but the same effects occur in a more muted way under a system of monogamy, with males perceived as fit tending to marry earlier with – on average – more fertile females.

Most of what follows derives directly or indirectly from these simple facts.

Note to the Reader:

No women were harmed in the writing of this book.

PREFACE

This is a book about the decline of virtue in women.

...

Here are a few of the things I attempt to explain in the essays ahead:

There is no more sex available to men in general today than there was before the sexual revolution; i.e., men in general did not gain at the expense of women from the sexual revolution.
Sex today, whether on college campuses or in the larger society, is not a “free for all.”
Men do not “prey upon” women.
Women are not naturally monogamous.
Women do not naturally look for “worthy” men to marry; i.e., there is no moral component to female sexuality.
Our current problems would not be solved if only men would “man up” and accept their traditional responsibilities.

...

I do not consider myself a “men’s rights activist.” ... If I must be labeled, a better choice of words might be “women’s duties activist.”

[ The Occidental Quarterly, vol. 6, no. 2 (Summer 2006): 9–37]

Let me tell you a story.

I’ve seen things you gullible chumps wouldn’t believe. Married women’s loins on fire off the rumpled sheets of my bed. A feminine Russian woman, her buttocks turned in my direction, sweetly asking me if I’d “like to do her in the ass” as her cell phone rings with the plaintive wail of her husband seeking her whereabouts. I’ve watched nipples harden in the dark near the cathedral gate, and behind the rectory doors. I’ve lain with the most virtuous women you could imagine -- caring women who “have to know so many things” and who give dollars to homeless bums and who tear up during sad scenes in the movies -- who freely allowed my member to violate them in every conceivable way in their husband’s and boyfriend’s beds, their writhing bodies, ecstatic moans, and gushing furrows testament to the lustful abandon with which they unshackled themselves of that other conservative virtue, fidelity. I once counseled the most darling woman -- a young woman so exquisitely gentle and winsome I’d dare any man not to fall instantly for her -- to stop her flowing tears for our doomed affair and, there on the sidewalk in midday, to return to her husband at her apartment which was two blocks down the street; the husband who, through years of his toil and love, put a roof over her underemployed head in one of the ritzier neighborhoods of the city. I have made love -- God’s highest expression of devotion to His creation -- with women in the company of small woodland creatures, scandalized roommates, and children who were, as best we dared, out of earshot of our erotic rustlings. I have witnessed women, caught in the snare of irrefutable evidence damning their supposed virtue, lie with the effortlessness of a soulless sociopath. In the moment of release, when we come closest to touching the Hand of God, I have been instructed by a wondrously virtuous woman to “rayp her” and to “do it like you mean it”. Her screams of howling joy -- pain or pleasure I could not tell -- to this day echo in my memories. And, most enlightening of all, I have seen wives and girlfriends, their hearts once filled with seemingly endless and nourishing love, cruelly turn on their daft former lovers with a vengeance unmatched by even a wronged God. Such as the time a sizzlingly sexy brunette whose mouth I was gracing with the metaphorical appendage of God’s divine love answered a phone call, mid-oral delight, from her ex-fiancee to thank him for purchasing a $5,000 Tempur-Pedic mattress delivered to her apartment two weeks earlier. Her thank you’s sounded surprisingly sincere for a woman whose free hand was simultaneously cradling the fleshy pod holding the life-giving seed of another man.

I spend a lot of time with women. Either seducing them, fucking them, fucking with them, listening to them, scratching the napes of their necks, or examining them like a disassembled timepiece. The purpose of such mingling goes deeper than enjoying the pleasure of their company. Books, mentors, a willingness to discard delusion and lies, and a keen eye will aid a man in his divine quest to acquire as much sex and love as he can handle from beautiful women, but no impetus to personal growth is as effective as direct interaction with the subject. Whether sex is or is not the goal, being around women sharply flattens the learning curve.

...

Don’t lose contact with the world of men. Their vigorous, purposeful company is a refreshing tonic to the pedestrian prattle, contrived machinations, and histrionic solipsism of women.

The best way to do well with women over the long haul is to think like them, understand them, and put yourself in their shoes. The man who can empathize with a woman’s frustrations will know better how to make her happy. All the great seducers of history co-opted to some degree the psychology and the courting tactics of women. They used women’s pyschological weapons against them....

To seduce women, you must seduce yourself first. You are the guy who will be everything she needs. How will you know what she needs? Get inside her head. Become her.

With love, the poor person can feel rich as if the struggles of his survival were minor inconveniences. With love, the old person forgets his age. With love, the young person sheds his angst. A man can amass a kingdom’s fortune and an emperor’s power but without love his worldly successes stand like hollow totems to unhappiness.

...

A man can be all alpha but if he doesn’t cash it in for the ultimate prize he’s revealed the beta at his core.

I once lost a girl I loved. The rush of pain was so intense even a fight club pummeling couldn’t have distracted me from it. But I didn’t stoically shrug it off. I threw glasses at the wall. I broke things. I smashed up my apartment.

If you aren’t smashing stuff after losing a lover you don’t know the pleasure of relinquishing everything for love.

“How is being called a jerk more flattering than just being called lovable?” Oh, you silly, anatomically ambiguous acculturated automaton. Don’t you know how to read girlcode?

THE FUNDAMENTALS

There is so much pickup information available now that it’s easy to lose sight of the fundamentals that govern sexual tension and attraction between men and women. When the information cascade overwhelms it begins to pull you away from what works, and what has always worked for you. Consequently, over-analysis can hinder your spiritual growth as a womanizer. That is why it is vital to step back every so often, ignore the steady stream of advice, and return to a few golden, immutable laws of attraction that will never go out of style.

The one fundamental to which I always return, and has never failed to reward me as expected, is this: Women cannot resist the aloof and indifferent man.

Of all the compulsions hard-wired in a female’s hindbrain, this one is etched deeper and more enduringly. Every woman, to a greater or lesser degree, feels the burn of lust and the agony of love for a man who projects a “take it or leave it” attitude.

Note that aloof and indifferent doesn’t mean haughty, distant or uninterested. It means disinterested. It means that while you may love her and flatter her and soothe her and give her gifts, underlying it all is an attitude that tells her “I can walk if necessary, and find someone new.”

It may seem counterproductive for a woman to respond so favorably to a man exhibiting this attitude, but the evolution of human socio-sexuality offers an explanation: an aloof man is indirectly advertising his skill at seducing women. Such a man will give a woman sons who will inherit his ladykiller genes. Conversely, a man who gloms onto a woman may as well be holding a placard that says “My celibacy is nigh!”. He has no confidence that should his girlfriend or wife misbehave, or leave him, he will be able to find another woman’s bosom for comfort.

And really, that’s what all this talk by women about valuing “confidence” in men means; what women are really saying is that they value men who could dump them on a whim and get with new women easily. Men who can do this are filled with the kind of confidence that turns women on.

The aloof and indifferent attitude can be expressed reactively or proactively, deliberately or passively. She senses it when other women flirt with you and you refuse to act ashamed for it. You don’t rub your desirability to competitor women in her face, but neither do you downplay it.

She senses it when she is the first to say “I love you”, after many months of eager -- but ultimately unfulfilled -- anticipation on her part for you to say it first.

She senses it when you occasionally pepper your relationship with unexplained absences. She senses it when you hang out with guy friends who are known players.

She senses it when you drag your feet about going on expensive trips together.

She senses it when you are the first to hop out of bed after climax.

She senses it when your exes are always bumping into you.

She senses it when you announce that you don’t understand guys like her male friend who can only play video games when his girlfriend is not around to castigate him, and when you then proudly and defiantly proclaim you value your “freedom and independence” too much to be like that guy.

She senses it when a half-assed microwaved meal that you cooked for the both of you means more to her than a four course dinner slaved over for hours in the kitchen by a beta would mean to her.

She senses it when you set the bar so low, it becomes a challenge to disappoint her.

The fundamentals. Be aloof. Be indifferent. Be loving.

Do these three things and you will never be lacking for a woman’s eternally grateful love.

The Sixteen Commandments Of Poon

1st. Never say ‘I Love You’ first

2nd. Make her jealous

3rd. You shall make your mission, not your woman, your priority

5th. Adhere to the golden ratio

6th. Keep her guessing

7th. Always keep two in the kitty

8th. Say you’re sorry only when absolutely necessary

9th. Connect with her emotions

10th. Ignore her beauty

11th. Be irrationally self-confident

12th. Maximize your strengths, minimize your weaknesses

13th. Err on the side of too much boldness, rather than too little

14th. Fuck her good

15th. Maintain your state control

16th. Never be afraid to lose her

Men are burdened with a duality. We feel impelled to commit to a chaste woman but we will happily sleep around with raging sluts. Women, too, are creatures of duality. They relish the emotional connection with the great boyfriend who dotes on them and pampers them but they succumb helplessly to their raw sexuality with the ideal lover. The god of biomechanics is, if nothing else, a practical joker.

...

The men who have complete command over their women are the men who intuitively know when to disarm with the tender ministrations of the great boyfriend or the lustful recklessness of the ideal lover. When you are aware of this ever present immutable female desire for dueling male archetypes, you will find it that much easier to direct a woman’s emotions, like Mozart conducting a symphony. A woman’s loyalty is as much a function of your ability to seduce it out of her as it is of her character.

Books I recommend on psychology of women:

“Story of O” and
“9 1/2 Weeks”

...

They want a man who takes charge.

A master.

Adopt the attitude of the master, and women will revert to their naturally submissive essence faster and more profoundly than you can scarcely imagine, and no amount of feminist propaganda, insulating credentials, or careerist ladder climbing will stand in the way of their joyous, even relieving, surrender to your intoxicating dominance and confidence.

MEN WITH OPTIONS

How many women do men really want to fuck? The answer, if surveys are to be believed, is a bit less than infinity.

...

You want to be a man with options.

The option to love recklessly, or love faithfully.

The option to marry, or to sow your oats as an eternal bachelor.

The option to have kids, and to be assured of your paternity.

The option to date monogamously, or to date profligately.

The option to stay, or to leave. On your terms.

The option to give ultimatums, and to ignore ultimatums.

The option to screw around, or to start a family.

The option to do what you want, when you want it, and to do what others want, when you want it.

This year is the Year of Men With Options. There has never been a time more suited to teach men the art of options than right now, when options everywhere for men seem to be shrinking.

ARNIE

Lex was a ruggedly handsome man, mid-40s, and in shape from near daily yoga and martial arts classes. He was fidgety and frenetically hyperverbal and rarely came up for breath once he got rolling on a story drawn from his illustrious past and present lifestyle. And what stories! He ran a business in the recreation industry which put him in contact with a steady stream of young European girls. This contact often led to intimacy. Many patrons of his business would regale you with tales of witnessing Lex whisk some new 22 year old Polish hottie back to his quarters for a night of debauchery, only to do it again the next night with a new girl.

...

As we stepped inside to leave Arnie behind in the streetlight-misted night, the door swung behind us with a slow creak. When it thumped closed, it echoed heavily in my ears.

You will get older, uglier, and fatter with each year. Soon you will notice young women no longer take your flirtations seriously. Your sloth and social detachment will worsen until people don’t even bother to be polite around you. You will gradually lower your standards in what you want in a girl until desperation pushes you to marry a dumpy oinker well past her prime. You will rut with her once a week, then once a month, then holidays only. You will relieve yourself drearily masturbating in the middle of the night by the cold flickering light of your computer monitor while that bloated seacow who doesn’t give a shit for your desires snores in the bed you can no longer get a good night’s sleep in. Your one shred of solace will come from knowing your depreciating asset – A.K.A. wife – will have as few options as you do virtually guaranteeing lifelong fidelity.

...

And then, finally, the Grim Reaper will steal your last breath and you will disappear from the world as if you had never been here and when they bury you no one will really notice and no one will really care because in your whole life you never never never, not even once, stepped off the hamster wheel and did anything courageous or interesting or different.

And it will be too late when you realize that the chains clasped to your ankles and wrists were unlocked all along and you were always free to go.

Six Sirens of the Sexual Apocalypse:

Effective and widely available contraceptives (the Pill, condom, and the de facto contraceptive abortion).
Easy peasy no-fault divorce.
Women’s economic independence (hurtling towards women’s economic advantage if the college enrollment ratio is any indication).
Rigged feminist-inspired laws that have caused a disincentivizing of marriage for men and an incentivizing of divorce for women.
Penicillin (reduced the cost of contracting STDs)
Widely available hardcore porn.

Here's a handy pocket guide to the most common DOUBLE STANDARDS:male slut = lothario, female slut = desperate.male CEO = alpha, female CEO = bitch.male model = silly, female model = alpha.male nerd = loser, female nerd = cute.young male death = statistic, young female death = tragedy.male nurse = beta, female nurse = agreeable.male stripper = clown, female stripper = desirable.male sports star = role model, female sports star = butch.

THE FUNDAMENTAL PREMISE

Eggs are expensive, sperm is cheap. Every psychological dynamic you see playing out in mass societies liberated from artificial constraints on the sexual market flows from this premise. This means, as a systemic matter, women are coddled, men are upbraided. Women are victims, men are victimizers. Women need a leg up, men need to man up. Women have advocacy groups, men have equal opportunity violations. A woman subjected to the indignity of eavesdropping on a tame joke about dongles makes national news, while the chilling fact that 95% of all workplace deaths are suffered by men barely pings the media consciousness.

...

This is why to live as a man is to TAKE what you want. Not to wait for it to be given to you. Because it will never be given. Not to anticipate the empathy of the overseers. Because they will never empathize. Not to expect the coddling of the crowd. Because they will never coddle. Not to assume the wagon circling of kindreds. Because they will never circle for you. You got the short stick, now what? Do you contemplate it and hope for a longer one? No.

You sharpen it and jab it into the heart of every obstacle that sets itself in your way.

ENDLESS DATINGHow long is too long to stay in the dating game? The primary reason for the psychological unease and emotional instability of so many modern women and to a different extent modern men resides in the irresolvable tension between our ancient biological inheritance and the relatively recent emergence of the high-tech rootless world of unparalleled mate choice we now inhabit....I do not think the current reality of endless dating can last. Something must give. Either humans will evolve into different social animals capable of withstanding decades of hookups and fragmentary relationships without turning to the comforts of cats and internet porn, or those people who serially date and delay childbirth will not have enough kids and natural selection will remove them from the gene pool as a failed experiment. Either way, change is in the air.

150: The hottest babes will not be found in prosperous countries, but in countries ON THE VERGE OF PROSPERITY. The world’s ugliest women will continue to be found in backward primitive societies.

151: Frequency and absurdity of female DELUSIONS about their ROMANTIC WORTH are directly proportional to real world evidence of their romantic worthlessness.

152: Women, and leftoids, are unhappy when they have NO DOMINANT POWER to whom they can SUBMIT.

153: PREGNANT PAUSES are the player’s best friend.

154: Consensual polyamory is a CONTRIVED hookup service for UNDESIRABLE SEXUAL MARKET REJECTS.

155: Never underestimate the sneaky lengths to which a woman’s FEMALE FRIENDS will attempt to UNDERMINE her relationship with a boyfriend or husband they don’t approve of.

142: BITTERNESS SURGES in a sexual market that is fully liberated, producing a surplus of incel beta males and pump and dumped beta females.

143: Almost every bad date scenario is SALVAGEABLE.

144: Keep pushing for sex, UNTIL SHE STOPS allowing you to push.

145: Female COYNESS IS A PURITY SIGNALER as well as an ego-boosting mechanism designed to reaffirm a woman’s sexual market value at the expense of lowering the man’s sexual market value. Corollary: Female coyness serves a secondary benefit as an ANTI-GAME STRATEGY to make a high value man seem more attainable to a lower value woman, or to offer low value women plausible deniability for failing to attract the interest of high value men.

146: The urgency and strength of a WOMAN’S DESIRE for a man is directly proportional to the degree to which he is PERCEIVED HIGHER VALUE than her.

147: Compliments breed complacency. CRITIQUE BREEDS CONCILIATION. A woman will never work as hard for a man’s approval as when his approval is most elusive.

148: The sluttier the girl, the more NOTICEABLY PREGNANT she’ll need to be before she admits to having had sex that “counts”. Corollary: Even then…. “Oh, it’s the way the shirt fits.”

149: Nothing interesting would happen in a woman’s life if she didn’t have A MAN MAKING IT HAPPEN.

135: The role of style in diverting attention from male ugliness is severely UNDERPLAYED by most ugly men.

136: For women, SEX is validation of love. For men, LOVE is validation of sex.

137: The more cocks that have ravaged a woman, the LESS ANY ONE COCK will mesmerize her.

138: Awareness of a woman’s games is a PRECISION-GUIDED WEAPON in a man’s arsenal of seduction. Slyly revealing your knowledge of a woman’s obstructive game tactics is like catnip to her puss-e.

139: As women’s bodies age and weaken, their RATIONALIZATION HAMSTERS grow bigger and stronger. Eventually, the hamster is powerful enough to take control of all higher order consciousness.

140: The more expensive or thoughtful the gift you give a girl, the greater the risk that she will subconsciously BEGIN TO THINK SHE IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU. Corollary: If you are dating out of your league, or you are dating a young hot babe in her prime, you should DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what everyone will tell you to do — don’t buy her expensive gifts. Be particularly wary of advice from women. No woman in the world is capable of thinking clearly or impartially on the matter of “acceptable” levels of male provisioning. Even old, fat hausfrau hogs will expect mountains of jewels in offerings from men.

141: The fervor of a man’s public declarations of fidelity to his woman positively correlate with an increased RISK OF CHEATING by either the man or the woman.

128: When women are confronted by a man with low status behavior that is incongruent with his high status looks, they will never resolve the incongruity to the benefit of his status; women will always resolve the incongruity to the DETRIMENT of his looks.

129: A man who has stopped seducing new women is a man who is becoming LESS SEDUCTIVE to his main woman.

130: Civilized, CODDLED CHICKS DIG JERKS.

131: Any son not explicitly taught about the ways of women by an experienced father will become MORE BETA under the influence of HIS MOTHER. Corollary: A society of ascendent female academic, workforce, political and family influence necessarily EMASCULATES ITS SONS and masculinizes its daughters.

132: When a girl emphatically insists she is so over you, she’s NEVER BEEN MORE INTO YOU.

133: If a man ACTS as if his life is FULL OF WILLING WOMEN, then women will be more willing company.

134: The fealty to equalism women signal is belied by the ferocity with which they SIFT AND SORT MEN in the sexual market.

119: The more limited a person’s options in the sexual market, the LAXER his or her mate standards.

120: Beta males mate guard, Alpha Males DISREGARD.

121: The less it looks like you’re trying, the HARDER THE GIRL WILL TRY to figure you out.

122: The most successful marriages are those with a balance of power that slightly favors the HUSBAND’S STATUS OVER THE WIFE’S LOOKS.

123: We tend to defer to looks as a judgment of a man’s sexual market value because that is what is most easily observable given situational and time constraints, but a man’s looks are only one male attractiveness trait among many that account for his desirability to women. Corollary: A woman’s sexual market value is more accurately judged SOLELY BY INSTANT APPRAISAL OF HER LOOKS.

124: Among love’s many benefits is its capacity for diminishing to insignificance those differences that would have prevented its flourishing in the first place. Corollary: Avoid emphasizing any values differences until LOVE, or a MIND-BLOWING ORGASM, has taken root.

125: The Accidental Alpha TRUMPS the intentional beta.

126: Half the battle of Game is stripping a woman of her INBORN SELF-ENTITLEMENT COMPLEX.

127: Women regret the cocks unwrapped; men regret the POON UNTAPPED.

112: Love is when you’ve been granted a TEMPORARY REPRIEVE from wondering if you can do better.

113: When a woman has incentive to lie, she will choose lying over honesty EVERY SINGLE TIME.

114: A woman’s happiness is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to efforts to accommodate her demands. Corollary: The more a woman’s demands are catered to, the MORE IRRATIONAL her future demands will become.

115: Run for your Life Shit Tests:

BEWARE the classic gun-to-the-head marriage pressure administered by your typical non-descript, rudderless late 20’s / early 30’s woman.

When a woman pressures you mercilessly to marry her, bullying to the point of threatening a break up – this is the SHIT TEST of ALL SHIT TESTS. Treat it as such – If you fail this shit test, you are RUINED. FOR. LIFE.

116: The degree to which you handicap yourself in an effort to SIGNAL HIGH STATUS to women should be commensurate with your game expertise and your confidence level.

117: Less talking is ALWAYS SEXIER than more talking. If you struggle to find something witty to say to a girl, stop trying. Flailing for the “right” words is approval-seeking beta behavior that women can sniff from across a room. Corollary: A GRUNT or aloof gesture trumps a try-hard, strained, verbose comeback.

118: The training of the woman distills to this essence: PUNISH HER BAD BEHAVIOR consistently, REWARD HER GOOD BEHAVIOR intermittently.

106: Marriage is no escape from the sexual market and the possibility that you may be OUT-BID by a COMPETITOR with higher value.

107: The wife of an alpha male will stoically ENDURE the worst humiliations while the wife of a beta male WILL NOT TOLERATE his merest deviation from her impossible expectations.

108: The prime directive of the alpha male is FORNICATION. Anything which hinders the fulfillment of the prime directive is to be vanquished as a foe or excised from the mind as a cancer.

109: Underneath the veneer of civilized discourse we act in ways that are BRAZENLY SELF-INTERESTED in the short term.

110: All kneel before the god of BIOMECHANICS, by sword or by surrender.

111: For most women, FIVE MINUTES OF ALPHA is worth five years with beta.

102: The rare older woman-younger man pairing is like a lab experiment GONE WRONG. It violates the natural order of things, and leaves its practitioners EMOTIONALLY TWISTED and in a constant mental race to hyper-rationalize their sub-par mate choice.

103: Romance isn’t foreplay. Romance is, at best, SEASONING on an ESTABLISHED sexual relationship. Corollary: A pre-mature romantic gesture will have the OPPOSITE of its intended effect on a high S.M.V. woman. Untethered romance is a D.L.V.

104: Waving a roll of Benjamins at a woman will not give her tingles. In fact, it will often do the OPPOSITE.

105: If you have no game or worse, ANTI-GAME, little else will compensate for your unattractiveness.

95: Daddy’s girls are STATUS WHORES. You will never measure up to her father. Don’t even try. Corollary: Not trying will turn her on. BE INDIFFERENT to her father’s accomplishments.

96: Before sex, no girl you are attracted to is important enough to merit an EMOTIONAL REACTION should the pickup attempt turn bad.

97: Any conversation with a woman that is not explicitly framed by you to MAXIMIZE YOUR PERCEIVED STATUS will lead to her forming a negative perception of your value over time.

98: Whenever you hear or read the words “gender”, “gendered”, “gendered norm”, “subtle gender bias”, or “increasingly egalitarian, yet there remains…” know that you are dealing with a LEFT-WING MOON-BAT, blank-slate believing FRUITCAKE who cannot deal with the fact that men and women are biologically DIFFERENT from birth.

99: A good Rule of Manhood is that for every three Blurts of Insecurity from a girl, ONLY ONE IS SINCERE. Call it the two-thirds Female Affectation Ratio.

100: Respect the MOMENTUM.

101: The best negs are both PLAUSIBLY DENIABLE and STRIKE at the chewy moist CENTER of a woman’s self-conception.

87: You rely on “pickup” lines to eventually DISCARD RELIANCE on pickup lines.

88: If you get sexually rejected, DON’T ADMIT IT to yourself, and especially don’t admit it to the girl.

89: There is a three month lag time between a woman’s VAGINAL PREROGATIVE and her words. HER HEART GETS THE MESSAGE long before you do.

90: Women can’t feel impassioned without also feeling a little UNEASE.

91: Women will SCREECH LOUDER the closer your words get to damaging or exposing vulnerabilities in their sexual market value.

92: If a girl isn’t working for your love, she’s MAKING YOU WORK for hers. Better to be a LOVE OWNER than a love laborer.

93: BE LESS ACCEPTING of women, and women will be more accepting of you.

94: If a REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT IS STRENGTHENING, you’ll know it by the slimming figures and feminine demeanor of its women and by the muscular development and confident attitude of its men.

82: A girl who mentions RAYP or SOOSIDE during the first few months of dating in any context other than as a third party making a wryly humorous observation immediately outs herself as a crank with borderline personality disorder who will be A LIVING NIGHTMARE as a girlfriend.

83: When a girl signals that she doesn’t enjoy blowjobs or sex, do not spend ONE MORE SECOND with her. Your libido is too important to gamble on such a girl.

84: Contrast in how you dress is received better by the group when you are SOCIALLY PROOFED. Corollary: If you peacock, don’t wait long to befriend the group. Peacocking should be framed as “This is totally normal. The problem is everyone else’s weirdness about it.”

85: Those who B*TCH LOUDEST about “CONSENT!” are women with few opportunities to give it or men with few opportunities to receive it.

86: In their sexual primes women’s attraction for assholes is at its STRONGEST. You can catch a lot of hungry flies with honey, but shit attracts the most well-fed flies.

74: The LONGER YOU ARE AWAY from seducing new women, the harder it will be to seduce one when you want.

75: The worst thing to happen to women in America was WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE.

76: A woman’s standards are like a HOUSE of CARDS: kick one out from the bottom and the whole edifice crashes down..

77: STOP SMILING so much! Girls will think you’re ingratiating. Girls prefer men they can ingratiate themselves to.

78: Men are becoming ever bigger betas in their dealings with women. Men are LOSING LEVERAGE to shape and push women’s child-like and selfishly amoral political opinions in logical, just, and long-term oriented directions.

79: A young pretty girl is NATURE’S VIAGRA, capable of exciting an old man who hasn’t seen action in forty years to perform on command.

80: Men are strictly monogamous only insofar as their OPTIONS ARE LIMITED for sexual variety.

81: The definition of Inner Game: HIT ON EVERY WOMAN WHO EXCITES YOU. Make life uncomfortable for THEM, not yourself.

63: A girl WILL ALWAYS MAKE TIME in her faux busy schedule for a man she likes, and when she can’t she’ll be the one to suggest another time.

64: Men who get laid IMPOSE THEMSELVES on women. If your aggressive body language around women feels a little uncomfortable to you, you’re doing it right.

65: Ignore a woman’s flaws at your peril. They are the key to RECONFIGURING YOUR PERCEPTION, and thus her attainability.

66: If you plan on cheating and subsequently get caught, ACT LIKE A TOTAL DICK who did nothing wrong. Then your girlfriend will wonder if it’s something she did.

67: Any change in the relative status between men and women introduces NEW INSTABILITIES into the mating market.

68: COMMANDING WOMEN to do your bidding will give you a bigger beta margin of error when needed.

69: Women need to test men for their GRACE UNDER PRESSURE.

70: If she’s hot, why would she BOTHER with online dating?

71: NEVER TRUST A WOMAN’S ADVICE on how to please women. Her advice is designed for alpha men she already finds attractive and from whom she seeks signals of attainability and commitment.

72: A woman’s sex and relationship advice isn’t meant to help men; it’s meant to DISTRACT MEN FROM WHAT REALLY WORKS to attract women.

73: High IQ is no inoculation against BETA DELUSION. If anything, high intelligence OBSTRUCTS CLEAR THINKING about women’s nature.

58: XENOPHOBIA IS GOOD for diversity.

59: Think of female egos and female vaginas as OPPOSING FORCES. The more one is stroked, the less the other wants to be stroked.

60: Once a girl knows she can get SEXLESS INTIMACY from you, she will CURSE YOU with that for as long as you allow it to happen.

61: Women will not hold it against you for trying to get into their panties on the first night. In fact, they will RESPECT YOU MORE for your boldness and willingness to follow your manly desires.

62: Men can LEVERAGE THEIR COMMITMENT far longer than women can leverage their sex.

48: The DEFENSIVE CROUCH is where pussy tingles are born

49: Limited options = LOOSER STANDARDS.

50: When in doubt, ask yourself “WWJD?” WHAT WOULD A JERK DO? Then do that.

51: No girl wants to be thought she isn’t a special little snowflake.

52: NEVER TELL a girl how much you make, even if you’re loaded. In case of marriage, keep SEPARATE ACCOUNTS.

53: Women secretly hope that you won’t rob them of the opportunity to MAKE THEMSELVES VULNERABLE before your alpha inscrutability.

54: PUSSIES ARE MORE PLIABLE in the company of competing pussy.

55: If you want a wife, STEER CLEAR from investing much in girls who constantly remind you they like to have “fun, fun, fun” and “get bored easily”.

56: Beyond beauty, a woman’s attractiveness to men is partly a function of her FEMININE VULNERABILITY, or her ability to mimic feminine vulnerability. Corollary: Men are turned off by overconfident, assertive, proudly self-sufficient women.

57: The more experience you have with women, the more you’ll know which women have experience with men: It is the inexperienced beta male who is most often in the dark about a woman’s sexual history and LIABLE to BE VICTIMIZED by it.

43: Women are more pliable in the company of COMPETING WOMEN.

44: In the quest for romance, BOLDNESS OVERCOMES a lot of personal flaws. Timidity swamps a lot of personal virtues.

45: Betas pay, alphas split, SUPER ALPHAS PROFIT.

46: A woman with inflated self-esteem is a woman who will erroneously believe she is too good to date men normally in her league, unless steps are taken to bring her self-esteem back in line with reality. Corollary: A dating market lopsided with unrealistically high self-esteem women will shrink the pool of men available to date and marry, with the consequence that women remain single longer than they would otherwise. Corollary to the corollary: The most effective measure society can undertake to increase the incidence of marriage and the quality of married life is to STOP ARTIFICIALLY PROPPING UP WOMEN’S SELF-ESTEEM.

47: You have to make marriage an ATTRACTIVE ALTERNATIVE FOR MEN — not women — if you want the institution to thrive.

36: Making a woman feel a little emotional pain will reward you a thousandfold in RETURNED PHYSICAL PLEASURE.

37: If a woman says the word “sex” in conversation with you or about you, no matter the context, it means SHE’S THINKING ABOUT HAVING SEX with you.

38: First, lead by DEFYING. Then, lead by INSPIRING. Finally, lead by DESIRING.

39: All types of game are basically variations in the BALANCE of beta male and alpha male traits.

40: VAGINA TINGLE is the principal moral code to which women subscribe. All other moral considerations pale in comparison.

41: Do not ever reveal the details of your finances to a girlfriend or wife. AVOID JOINT ACCOUNTS. As a man, you must draw a line in the sand separating money from love. If she balks, dump her.

42: The MEANER A GIRL is with you, the likelier she wants to fuck you. Corollary: The nicer a girl is with you, the likelier she thinks you’d make a great eunuch friend.

30: Be narcissistic. There is no greater divergence than that between a woman’s stated disapproval of male narcissism and the rapidity with which SHE JUMPS INTO BED with a male narcissist.

31: The two fundamental propositions are MALE CHOOSINESS and FEMALE ABUNDANCE. All alpha males have these two mindsets in common. Corollary: Male choosiness and female abundance do not necessarily have to be true for the strategy of behaving AS IF they are true to be effective at seduction.

32: The alpha male thinks and ACTS MORE LIKE A WOMAN than a man in matters of seduction. He understands his adversary’s psychology, and uses it to shatter her defenses.

33: NEVER TALK ABOUT getting into a relationship even if she says that’s what she’s looking for.

34: WITHHOLDING SEX is the tactic of a woman who has already lost. It is mutually assured destruction.

35: Never take a woman’s word; a woman’s ACTIONS are the best interpreters of her thought.

26: Female cultural equality = male DATING INEQUALITY. Female cultural inequality = male dating equality. Human nature says that you can‘t have it both ways. 27: KEEP HER GUESSING, KEEP HER GEYSERING 28: When civilization confronts primitivism, the latter will eventually corrupt and overrun the former absent a will among the civilized people to temporarily DISCARD THEIR CIVILIZED NORMS to save themselves from the primordial infestation. 29: Whenever you’re at a loss for what to say to a girl you like, imagine you’re a man IN BED WITH THREE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. Then say what that man would say.

20: Calling a girl out on her lie accomplishes NOTHING.

21: The greater the sexual market value disparity between the husband and his DEPRECIATING WIFE, and the more kids they have, the more life the husband has SUCKED OUT OF HIM.

22: When the love is gone, WOMEN CAN BE COLD as if they had never known you.

23: If you are COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR GAME being splashed across a JumboTron for thousands of people to read, then you are doing it right.

24: The cumulative experience with hot women imbues the womanizer with a genuinely ALOOF AURA that attracts even more women to him. Corollary: If you don’t have an adequate amount of aloofness-inducing experience with hot women, ACT LIKE YOU DO.

25: When in doubt, GAME.

16: The sweeter and more innocent a girl seems, the greater the likelihood she has been IN A GANG-BANG. Corollary: Always assume SHE IS A WHORE. It helps kick the legs out from under the pedestal you will be tempted to put her on, and it is more often than not true. 17: The greater the AGE DIFFERENCE between the older man and the younger woman, the tighter his game will need to be, barring compensatory attributes – like MONEY. 18: Marriage is a social mechanism designed to exchange sex for INDENTURED SERVITUDE. 19: It’s PUSSY WETNESS over all.

7: Some human beings are WORTH MORE than others, despite their equality under the law.9: Bang first, beFRIEND LATER.10: NEVER TRUST a woman who is missing a sense of humor.11: A man’s looks don’t matter as much to women as a WOMAN’S LOOKS MATTER to men.12: Charisma before silence, SILENCE BEFORE self-incrimination.13: NEVER. Make. It. Easy. For. A. Woman.14: Never Make It Easy For A GIRL.15: Your girl will thank you for your steadfast devotion to your BELIEF IN YOURSELF.

1: Women desire men of BETTER QUALITY than themselves. 2: Game is LEARNED CHARISMA, streamlined seduction. Game is as sincere as its practitioner’s intent. 3: Women are turned on by displays of MALE POWER. 4: All successful seductions are ADVERSARIAL in nature. 5: Whenever an attractive girl tells you she hates assholes, or describes her experience in the past dating assholes and claims to avoid them now, or recites a laundry list of asshole-e things guys do that she disapproves of, you can bet your weight in gold bricks that SHE WANTS YOU TO BE AN ASSHOLE to her. 6: In the state of nature, MEN ARE EXPENDABLE.

November 11, 1981

Shake off vain fancies & rise free, respond to grace & feel deep joy, stop looking for reasons to abandon task, work from self-denying Love even when enthusiasm gone, be Unshakable, deprivation of consolations are just trials on your way, Mass/ prayer/ sacraments/ sacrifices/ Communion - these are your weapons to conquer trial, much fruit from persevering like donkey on water-wheel, secret = Love - fall in love.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Develop reflective perseverance, here I am Lord to answer your call, only be ashamed to not return, carry out the norms given, preserve noblest ideals born within you, fight against discouragement, you wanted cross to your own taste, Constancy is what you need.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Cultivate devotion to early Christians, Lord gives you words filled with efficacy, apostolate of friendship, practice hospitality of the Patriarchs, ask God to grow entertainment apostolate, pray for letter apostolate, receive encouragement from friends, evangelical death in intellectual apostolate, your profession is instrument of your apostolate, don't underestimate cooperation of women in apostolate, may women be inspired to join you on journey, women are faithful in hour of suffering - united to Lady of Sorrows.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Sanctity of apostolate from your personal virtues, be man of God - prayer + sacrifice from within, Unity, don't develop cliques for universal undertaking, make your choice once for all to find certainty, rejoice in others' apostolic activity too, anyone who is not against us is for us, all is waste of time if you lack Love, essential we be one with the Head, blessed are those who suffer, silent effective mission.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Be ready to suffer everything from everyone with infinite charity, no excuse for disobedience nor insincerity, sacrifice yourself for whoever's in charge, be extra respectful to him in charge of your apostolate, don't fear human enemies but your own spirit's flaws, who cares if you're slighted, your charity is lubricant for apostolic engine, get rid of isolating self-satisfied air, welcome contempt & persecution as divine signs.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Unreserved obedience is way of sanctity, you are Apostle carrying out imperative from Christ, don't be self-righteous, inspire with love of God & zeal for souls not bad example, don't listen to God's word with critical spirit, spiritual > scholarly & cover all senses with praying + atoning, unity & variety, live fraternal spirit without familiarities, don't aspire to positions - just to sainthood, responsibility will always be burdensome.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Cross on your breast/ your shoulders/ your flesh/ your mind, take care of your soul first, cannot lead unless you escape devil's chains, be sincere/simple/transparent, deeds > words, apostolic zeal in divine craziness, don't rest on laurels, annihilate yourself not impose personal viewpoints, don't be long action & short prayer, deprive yourself any comforts you would despise seeing in fellow man of God, be of world but not worldly, unity is sign of life.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

You are salt, love your apostolate, let it be shield to resist enemy, pray for perseverance, imitate disciples of Jesus, perfection through living in place/occupation/position God assigned to you, pray for each other, make your own way through mountains.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Make better use of time in pestering God, keep your fiat 'Thy will be done' for insignificant routine jobs, vocation is greatest grace God gives you, pitiful crowds live without ideals, God's works not stepping stones, Lord give us infectious craziness to draw many to apostolate, companions should react to you with burning hearts, give everything & seek no earthly reward, calling = reminder that son of God, try to be apostle of apostles.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Give yourself to God once & for all - now, shake off cowardice & follow way clearly, proclaim the Good News, Christ too has crusaders in service, his kingdom will have no end, I must be busy with my Father's work, don't just apostolic work by small part you can see, ask God for new life to guarantee mission is authentic, thank God for honor of being lunatic with crazy friends.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Direct your ideas like policeman on traffic duty, children ask without qualifications - just say it with all your heart, Persevere shamelessly, imitate gratitude of little children, if prayer too tiring at least look at Him, jump right into telling Father God what you need/want, our will strengthened by grace all-powerful with God, have spiritual sweet tooth, mortification worth so much - just keep going on plan of life, you're not alone, suffer tribulation joyfully knowing Mother Mary right beside you, Jesus I could never repay you.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Okay to be annoyed that God keeps asking little things of you, harder we try the worse we do, give me gentleness/affection that children show parents, embrace God & Mary with all your strength, suffer pinpricks, tell Lord you want forgiveness, seek consolation in God after breaking your sanctification, be manly > effeminate, prayer even without consolation can end sorrows, try to avoid distractions during prayer.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Love made you all-powerful, keep storming Tabernacles, manly > timid/bashful, tell Jesus 'I love you' often, glory in infirmities like Saint Paul, don't let imperfections/defects keep you from God.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Docility, Lord's special love for little children, thank Jesus even for 'bad luck' since he sends what's best for you, Jesus I love you even more than Paul/Xavier/Teresa.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Make up for excesses of your grown-up life, do not hide part of soul from your Director, become all-powerful child, have no cares & forget troubles, each day offer your frailties, offer him work & joy, everything belongs to your Father, act like simple 2-year-old without inclination to sin, don't grow up too fast, be child who depends on Father-God.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Let Holy Spirit lead you in spiritual childhood, Abandonment & Infancy make sturdy/solid christian life, never puerile nor childish, not foolishness nor flabbiness, demands submission of mind > will, daring like a child, don't show off or act like lapdog, little actions have unfailing fruitfulness of Love, child of God.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

In hour of cowardice boldly declare love for Christ & when things are normal or triumphant visit privately, they will know who you serve by your deeds, go without drawing attention to yourself, give life to souls, first things first, heart-to-hearts & friendly chats > grand speeches, unite efforts in Christ's charity, be a martyr/missionary/man of God without receiving title nor attention for it, laugh at 19th-century liberals stuck behind-the-times, pray for & confront friends/family/colleagues making vulgar conversation, make use of youthful imprudence.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

You are apostolic stone falling into lake to produce ripples, persevere in your established place, strengthen your will so God can make you leaders, be generous even to point of folly, burn like hidden torch setting fire to all you touch, never praise knowledge of those who attack the Church, see with calm/peaceful/intense eyes of eternity & generate spiritual electricity, have no enemies - only friends, don't disclose your apostolate unless helping someone directly, let dedication pass unnoticed like Jesus' did for 30 years.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Every big thing here had small beginnings - big births die, can't win supernatural olympics without daily training now, build brick by brick, human & divine Love both consist of little things, persevere in exact fulfillment of obligations, heroes must attach great importance to little things, many small can add up to enormous sum, moments of big cowardice come from small cowardices in each day, merit of alms is in intention given, be a little but critical bolt in Christ's plan.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Do all for Love, makes little acts worth so much, concentrate on carrying out little duty of each moment to become saint, despising little things means misunderstanding all, great holiness in small acts, great souls give attention to the small, faithful in small things –> join in master's happiness, don't judge small beginnings.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Spread the divine blaze, people don't join apostolate until needed, be an instrument for seeking instruments, cry to Jesus for apostolic souls, are there any here who can understand us well, "I need 50 men who love Jesus Christ above all things", apostolate requires sacrifice so many will turn away, may God make your nets effective in fishing for men, always hunger to continue the mission, that burning desire is sign of givenness to God, many voices from many lands still cry in anguish of not yet knowing Christ, you long to cross land & sea to help.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Forsake worldly things & live for Love, build conviction, put out into the deep, true zeal searches for fellow apostles, sow with certainty of bearing fruit, charity compels us, be zealous for salvation of all souls & inspire others with craziness, way not clear until you follow Jesus closely, reasons not always available, God seeks you out in practice of profession, harvest is large & laborers few so pray God sends labor.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Give glory to God without seeking foretaste, all glory to God, without God you can do nothing, don't use spark of divine intelligence for other uses, how hateful life without God's glory, give God glory through will aided by grace without human pride, I extol you God, no attachment but Christ/ Father/ Holy Spirit, purify intention, react to selfish motives with affirmation to God of: nothing for myself - all for your glory, renounce all human gratitude + reward.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

God exalts those who carry out his will after being humbled, ask often during day if doing what ought to be, love whatever Jesus wants, resign to will of God –> conform to will of God –> want will of God –> love will of God, turn flesh into Crucifix, be generous without reserve then Jesus settles things far better than imagined, worried about your own will/judgment, before starting anything ask what does God want from me - then do.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Subject to voluntary servitude, completely accept will of God, Fiat - let it be, closer to God the more universal your desires, accept nothing without God's will, abandonment to it = secret of happiness on earth, never again lose your peace, fruits are joy & peace, be indifferent not dry, too little > too much.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Do the will of the Father & enter Kingdom of Heaven, live your life as God wants - much depends on it, God is shaping us into polished stone with participation from our free will, Love > resignation/conformity, his yoke is sweet & his burden light, peace for men of good will, the Lord is my shepherd I lack nothing.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Even beautiful body turns into foul corpse, let paintings help illustrate that for you, die of love-sickness unnoticed > 'heroic', not dying but moving into new house, never lose sight of judgment/justice/Judge, burn with desire to make Father God happy, Lord infinitely merciful & infinitely just, you will be paid according to share in work, there is a hell, invoke Saint Michael against the 'wickedness & snares of the devil', eye/ear/heart does not understand what God has prepared for those who love him, everything on earth ends, pleasure here ends as soon as it begins.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Sinful Man has an hour but God eternity, death is good friend helping you on the way, one day you will fall into eternity too, rejoice that each step closer to death is toward Life, it's only the beginning, accept sister death generously for coming at best time, what part of world collapses if I die?

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Find support in Jesus + Mary, God tore out your human consolation by the roots so you have nothing left to cling to but him, as God's instrument you need time to yourself, keep up the fight against passions, devil attacks quietly/hypocritically/spiritually with despair avoiding repentance, your loneliness + shouts for help seem heard by nobody but God hears & responds with calm/peace/healing, be humble & pain/temptation/rawness will pass, fortitude on loan, grow more sure of God & less of yourself, don't leave God, abandon yourself & depend on Jesus for everything, rest in Jesus, trust in God who does not lose battles.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

When body of death cries out for rights His grace is sufficient for you to conquer, world/flesh/devil conspire to sabotage your eternity, wherever you are placed please God there, are you seeking yourself or Jesus, don't give up - miserere & begin again, God will not despise humble/contrite heart, frequent falls if bad + stupid, cowardice is worse, temptation blindfolds your soul - be obedient instead, conquer thyself, endure all things through Christ who strengthens you, want for yourself only what God wants, never despair, fight bravely for reward.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

God prunes you to bear more fruit, take things calmly/dispassionately & let time pass, this life = bad night in bad inn, you wanted it/ got it/ up to you to keep it, to worry is to lose peace, rest & obey then resume intensity.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

In tough times pray God's will be done, suffering now short vs eternity with God, don't do favors hoping for thanks in this life, Christ's enemies were never reasonable either, contemplate the future victory in Christ's teachings, accept difficulties with stronger heart, answer to trapped personality feeling is more work, after insults just imagine how much more they left unsaid, disciple follows Master toward cross/toil/anguish, don't fight external pressure but internal complicity.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Storm of persecution is good for you, you act worse towards God than others toward you, just doing your duty will polarize others into loving or hating you, make straight for your goal with head/heart intoxicated with God & don't waste time answering haters, use painful insults as supernatural reminder to detach from creatures, what are suffering/contempt/cross compared to what we actually deserve?

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Place concerns of earth under your feet, gold/silver/jewels/gratification/pleasure/satisfaction/honor/distinction/titles - nothing, don't give heart to this world, gluttony is ugly, at meals speak of noble things, don't leave table without small mortification, practice temperance, help those in need & Church of Christ, Lord more honored by immolation of talents than vain use of them.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Faith/hope/love are outlet valves for souls on fire, do all unselfishly, serve God as son without payment, Jesus repays generously 100 times over, seek joy in contempt - Jesus remains silent too, suffer injustice gladly, don't complain in suffering, never give opinion if not asked for it, have pity & don't pass judgment.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

True virtue cheerful > disagreeable, rejoice whether things go badly or well, supernatural > physiological happiness, never lose heart, don't try inspiring others to follow Chris while rough/ridiculous/unfriendly, unhappiness from obstacles between you & God, cure for sadness = prayer, don't be gloomy, cheerfulness essential, let hearts that seek Yahweh rejoice.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Discretion & sacrifice work on you from the inside, virtue of the few, even Mary didn't communicate mystery with Saint Joseph, be quiet, discretion is powerful weapon for you, feel upsurge of indignation but respond with silence.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

You won't regret remaining silent, don't ask others to keep a secret, discretion is naturalness, refining of spirit, slowly if ever reveal intimate details of apostolate, say nothing of your ideal, oh fruitful silence, be discreet, helps avoid bad conversation aftertaste, don't seek for understood - sacrifice unnoticed, keep check on your tongue, drive results in heaven - not photos/facts/figures on earth, other holy people don't have to understand your way.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

He who has most needs least, detach from goods of the world & practice poverty of spirit, voluntarily renounce your dominion over things, despise riches as intensely as men of the world seek to possess them, attachment will make possessions leave you faster, when your choice is unnoticed select the worst, though riches increase keep your heart detached, love what poverty brings with it, give without stint down to your last penny & receive blessing from almighty God.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Don't behave conditional on perfect agreement with leaders, obedience is martyrdom without death, order to do something seemingly useless & difficult quickly becomes easy & fruitful, everything in its place, abandon your flourishing personal work when someone in obedience commands, Jesus keep me smiling, live silent obedience, remember the Lord's obedient death on cross, miracles through obedience are repeated every day.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

No such thing as trifling disobedience, strengthen your will, your slowness/passivity/reluctance damages the apostolate & gives satisfaction to Enemy, obey like instrument in hands of artist, in heroic little details, take initiative within instructions, pride prevents obedience from bringing you peace.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

No one on earth will remember you soon, if not humble you are worth nothing, false humility = laziness, acknowledge your weakness, confession rightly makes you feel like heap of filth, even Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem, humility –> interior peace, be aware of progress of your soul, self-knowledge –> humility, build cardinal virtue fortitude, pride before fall, get rid of proud thoughts, you are like waterdrop that falls on ground and barely seen.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

When success is applauded also remember laughter at your failures, don't seek to be ornament on top of building but cornerstone underneath, humble me Jesus, remember you are dustbin, see yourself as you are - despised by others, bear humiliation from others for Christ, find joy in being despised, don't worry if your defects show - only about offence against God, prostrate your soul before God, only for Mary's humility did all generations call her blessed, don't forget your lowliness & the pride which keeps you there, what do you have to be proud for?

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Apostles in Gospels are relatable with weak/wavering faith, faith calms our minds & fills us with hope, this is still age of miracles - we would work them if we had faith, stir up that fire, the size of a mustard seed, men of faith needed, men of faith –> renewal of wonders, faith > superstitions, everything is possible for him who believes.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Live in warmth of faith, don't argue with Satan - simply reply as son of the Church, He who gives faith will also give means, the just man lives by faith, show faith through actions not words, ask God to increase faith.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Remember in prayer the holy souls in purgatory, use holy water daily to scatter evil spirits, love the Pope, pray novenas.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Saint Teresa points us to prayer life of Saint Joseph, have confidence in your guardian angel, win over guardian angel of person you want in your apostolate, remember the Angels all around to avoid foolish things, don't be amazed by their obvious favors, still many occasions of going astray, call upon him at moment of trial to protect you from devil, languish with love for them, they defend it from profanation, even early Christians were on intimate terms with their guardian angels.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Flee from routine with constant presence of God, have few private devotions & be constant in them, daily say your childhood prayers, visit the Blessed Sacrament & tell Jesus worries of your day to receive light/strength, love the sacred humanity of God, each Friday revisit the 14 stations of our Lord's Passion & Death, Christmas devotion, holy rosary = powerful weapon, ask help from Saint Joseph, let him teach you interior life.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Communion of saints like blood transfusion for the soul, feel joy & strength of not being alone, feel them praying for you, you need prayers very much, be a man of penance, be faithful to help from brothers, ask the Lord for spirit of Saint Paul.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Go to Communion, He has been waiting for you 20 centuries, the King of Kings humbled himself into bread for you, shows reverence to receive, grace in spiritual Communion, learn the good manners of Piety - how to bless/ bend the knee/ bow, wrought-iron figures > mass-produced statues, celebrate on plain altar & grow closer to God through rigorous liturgy.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Apostles love the Mass, if too long your love is too short, don't rush the priest or time devoted to most holy Sacrifice, treat him well for me, weep over believers receiving Eucharist in state of mortal sin, humility in sacred host even more than on cross, imagine how bad you would be without daily Communion, word/bread/love.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

One/holy/catholic/apostolic Church, oh to love the holy church, Serviam, make your path to Rome, sacraments remedy for all our needs, venerate the Liturgy, learn to sing liturgically, let enthusiasm for God overflow into song, as Catholic love your country most - big heart + broad mind, revere the priesthood & religious state, generously worship God.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Do not be afraid, Fiat, much easier after getting help from Lady, confidently call on her help, when strength fails call on Comforter of afflicted/ Help of Christians/ Queen of apostles, call to her always in struggle and in danger.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Pictures of Mary arouse devotion, imitate her way of asking Jesus confidently with perseverance, keep our Lady company as you weep over sins, turn to Mother of Fair Love with confidence, Love for Lady = proof of good spirit, contemplate the Virgin of Sorrows, such a humble holy Mother Mary, ask for fortitude in sorrow, teacher of sacrifice cooperating with her Son, work without outward show like handmaid of the Lord.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Love for our Mother will kindle your hidden virtue, she will obtain abundant grace for your daily struggle, be Mary's, return to Jesus through Mary, sing to the Immaculate Virgin, help me carry out the will of our Jesus, call on her for peace, learn her naturalness, wear the holy Carmelite scapular as Marian devotion.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Seek God only & promote works of zeal, the Lord is your light & salvation so proceed even if whole world stands against you, take courage, duty to be instrument, God's fire may turn to smoke in your weak instrument, there is work aplenty, have greater confidence in God —> do all your human means permit —> money will soon cease to be difficulty, make the best of what you have & the work goes on, keen living faith will move mountains, with upright heart & good will your dreams of Love will come true, let works not words confirm your mission.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Cross & Gospel should satisfy you, calculations must include [God]+2+2, serve God unwaveringly & worry about nothing else, Christ makes up for you being a zero in finance/sociality/virtue/talent, remember Ignatius ignorant/penniless/persecuted/slandered yet loving & believing to great effect, God always uses inadequate instruments & requires only docility, no difficulty can shake your optimism given to God, only totally given can you expect to win others, ignore the contempt of powerful people who change often, so-called prudent people attribute madness to God's work, unite with brothers to carry out God's will over all obstacles.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Love is to be real & active, live the power of charity, Understanding > giving, help souls in danger, Concern > anxiety, when you give alms don't let left hand know what right is doing, gift books more valuable than bread, give ourselves unstintingly, salute all the saints & learn to be a brother to your brothers.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Be slow to judge - since it's worth so little anyway, force yourself to forgive those who offend you right away, check your tongue from speaking badly of others, hear both sides first, don't trifle with uncharitable remarks, construction requires mastery while destruction any unskilled laborer can do, don't pass judgment on superiors, clashes with world's selfishness will help you appreciate fraternal charity, your ostentatious charity is repelling, brother helped by brother is a fortress.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Finish your work then your brother's too, God is hurt by your lack of charity towards Him, never think badly of anyone even with reason, don't criticize, never speak badly of your brother, gossip is disease that infects/poisons/wastes & destroys union with God, we all have weaknesses, Silence is preferable to how many people waste their lives rambling, difficult to speak well, don't be mischievous slandering backbiter, stop offending God with injustice!

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Both God's justice & mercy prove his love, madness of Love which is the blessed Eucharist, live by love to conquer, let your heart overflow, fear of God is holy, weep my son with love-sorrow, do not remain indifferent to God's death, crazy love for God, don't forget Sorrow touchstone of Love.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Your heart follows your treasure, Jesus loves you as much as when he wept for Lazarus, God teach me to love, let punishment from Love be reparation, you love me so much God, Christ is King/Love/God, due measure in everything except Love, if love gives so much consolation here imagine heaven, everything done from love acquires greatness & beauty, let me be last in everything & first in Love.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Only real love is God's, Love ennobles even most humiliating things, see God in children & the sick, how little a life is to offer God.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

False apostles are frontline leaders living inconsistent lives with false virtue, set fire to your love, Serviam - I will serve you, man of God gone lukewarm is pathetic & worse than fallen away, pay little heed to worldly victories or defeats, without Me you can do nothing.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Daring is not imprudent nor reckless, ask Jesus' pardon & love him madly with strength of all hearts ever in the world, when you need something tell Jesus you want it like a child, we never fail - try again, experience > failure, all action from supernatural motives = success, don't confuse rights of office with personal rights, sanctimony is caricature of sanctity, saintly virtues nothing without the ordinary virtues, don't have noisy virtue.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Don't worry what people say, no ridicule for man doing what's best, compromising condemns Jesus to death again, compromising reveals man without ideals/honor/faith, never yield an inch, holy intransigence is not bigotry, never compromise doctrine or conduct only manner, live holy intransigence, use force to stop suicide of both body & soul, do not commit crimes in the name of justice.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Holy intransigence + holy coercion + holy shamelessness, holy shamelessness > cheekiness, child does not hide weakness nor misery, laugh at ridicule.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Embrace esprit de corps, seek/find/love Christ, obedience falters if leader weakens, beware the devil's indirect attacks, Love one another & carry each other's troubles, just one evil to avoid on earth- sin.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Unprofessional Catholics are discouraging, do not leave position duties unfulfilled, work without rest, but don't rush around, Plan of Life > dissipation, carry your own environment with you, be faithful to specific norms from Director, Optimism > pessimism, simply be salt & light, your faithful life will naturally clash with culture.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Protect your youth with both Saint Raphael and Apostle John, conscientious professionalism + family fussing, fulfill your duty & respond to grace, trust only in God & those he unites with you, serve God zealously, be last among your brothers & first among all else, avoid appearance of more particular friendship, dignify the ideas you assimilate, do not quiet soul & awaken senses, follow when the charity of Christ leads, don't appear to be bad if you are not - that's just stupid.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Don't be pompous, correct your foolishness & do not refuse counsel, absurdity of neutrality without Catholicism, make good use of time, time is far more than money - glory, don't be idle when Christ was toil, sin always awaits idleness, the soul of an apostle never has a free moment, add supernatural motive to ordinary work.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Determination for both interior life & study, Act then teach, life improves with work, teach the Christian spiritual life, culture is means not end, be vigorous in piety, build up your soul, quit the cowardice, no scandal if orthodox, add manners to your learning.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Be scholars, study well, otherwise useless, hour in study = hour in prayer, serve God with your mind, good-ish without study, specialization of apologetics, get advice before buying books, study earnestly.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Fight your weakness/laziness/carelessness, strive seriously for perfection, worry over habitual venial sins too, do not yield without fighting, catch and destroy, then begin real interior life, never lazy nor reluctant.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Get intimate with Jesus, learn why I call our tabernacle Bethany, follow evangelical counsels, you possess everything necessary for sanctification.

Learn to love War, may Jesus watch over you, be more considerate, rely on God, be missionary in obedience, want earnestly, put utmost zeal into affairs of your Soul, run to win, seek God within, encourage noble sparks.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Peace of Christ in kingdom of Christ only with saints, always carry your Crucifix with you, tell Jesus you love him, find daily solitude, acquire simplicity, life on earth is warfare, build habits to exhaust the enemy, Peace demands struggle & victory first, confess your faults & be pardoned, penance is how we put on Christ.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Duty to sanctify yourself, begin & begin again, beauty of serving, grow on the inside, master yourself truly, realize when you are crucifying Christ, be happy & be saved, sing thanksgiving & clean up corners of your soul, what will you do for Christ, no one can serve two masters.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

God gives a third dimension to life, without supernatural meaning all works become fruitless, Silence, sanctity is more attainable than learning, develop interior life to see fully, be good but see everyone else as better, Conversion once sanctification forever, how sweet to be in grace of God, seek only to please God, enter the wounds of Christ crucified, improve your daily conduct, Rectify daily.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Behave in the presence of God your Father, stop to consider decisions in the presence of God, live as if God is always close by our side, lift your heart to God & thank him for everything, enter every tabernacle you see & invoke Mary, discover more tabernacles, may Jesus be our aim/Love/theme/model, use every method to stay in presence of God, the Holy Spirit is always with you, be proud as son of God, give fellow humans a good example, seek union with Mary to Jesus weekly, the lonely Cross is calling for a pair of shoulders to bear it, live in the presence of God.

Get rid of scruples that prevent peace, obey your Director & don't underestimate the Lord, get rid of gloominess, bless God, stop thinking of your fall- easy occasion of further temptation, don't lose heart, Surge/arise/walk & get to work.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Be definite, correct small deviations, make few resolutions, want to be a saint, Tomorrow is utterance of the defeated, recall your shame in God's glory, do your duty now, return to noble life now, seek the hardest tasks & be happy here, stick to your resolutions, Wake Up from lukewarmness.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Examen = daily bookkeeping for business of eternal life, beware devil that ties your tongue, examine courageously, General = defense & Particular examen = attack, learn from past, keep asking for light, replace predominant defect with definite virtue, pay your debts to God's grace with tears of love-sorrow, be faithful in little things then bigger, listen to Holy Spirit, use days of recollection for thorough examen, always end with Act of Love.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Treat your body as enemy, harsh as enemy of God's glory, limits of good times, joy in suffering & light in darkness, goodness in suffering, Fast frequently, 1000 good motives for making penance, but don't do more than Director allows, ennoble suffering.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Cry kingly tears, lose fear of suffering to be happy on earth, give up this life for That Life, bless the sufferings that bring purification, Alms go beyond physical well-being, voluntary atonement for grace in trials, Will > senses, constant self-denial, do not fear the penance far more useful than surgery, your greatest enemy is Self.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Bless/love/sanctify/glorify pain, Rejoice in hope/ patience in troubles/ patient in prayer, Atonement, learn to draw strength from falls & death from life, purify yourself to see pure light of love, do not complain while meeting suffering on the way, make your body slave not the reverse, do not fear atonement with God,

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Humble yourself when more is asked of you, punish yourself as you would an enemy-brother, bitter suffering here is salt of life, bear pinpricks of each day with Christian spirit, live heroically ordinary life with small struggles, Heroic Minute - give supernatural reflection when you wake, give thanks for holy abhorrence of self.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Conquer yourself immediately every morning after waking, propose the salvation of a particular soul, get rid of self-pity, appreciate treasures on earth of hunger/thirst/pain/poverty/betrayal/slander, your soul & body are enemies who can't get along, give the body less than its due, let them witness your penance, tolerate others' faults but not your own, you as grain of wheat must die to be fruitful, conquer your Pride.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Mortify your senses, suffer for God & for Love - 50 years for eternity in heaven, guard your sight to guard your heart, carry your world within, value of sacrifice is hidden & silent, give & deny yourself in holocaust of everything, to live we must die, your traitorous heart deserves seven locks, root out everything that doesn't lead you to God, thank you for every kick with kindness.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Deny yourself, overlook irritating details in people you live with, that person sanctifies me, Sacrifice, frustration over failing to keep simple resolutions, yield your judgment, the hidden cross of each day without splendor or consolation is for you, choose mortifications for yourself not others, self-deny.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Charity for your neighbors but don't overdo affection, Duty > heart, Give your scandalous heart no consolation - only the Cross, Heart's weaknesses need not obstacle for determined souls in love, endure same humiliation for Christ that you do for earthly loves, toothache in your heart, break off at the start, the account our Lord will demand of you, meet suffering bravely - as a treasure, don't hesitate to cut the obstacle & advance, God's love worth any love.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Fasten only to three nails, greater peace + closer union + extraordinary grace in detachment, ask like a child, get fire/light/warmth from Christ only, Jesus doesn't go halves, God > insignificant creatures, God gives himself to you, it was meant to hurt, do not clutch for earthly support while falling, Friendship > fetters.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Don't offer your heart for sale, be creature for God, quench your thirst in everlasting water, Detach from people & things, don't fill your heart with human attachment.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Loneliness follows sensual satisfaction, don't seek satisfaction of a moment, who will rescue me oh wretched man, foster hope & love at times of temptation, never consent to corruption, resist the enemy with natural law & law of God, Lord make me clean, defend your purity like Saints Francis + Benedict + Bernard, purity strengthens character, I have no use for divided hearts.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Overeating foreruns impurity, scorn concupiscence, practice decorum & modesty, persevere in the apostolate, remove sensual corruption to follow the Paraclete, never speak of impurity even to lament, flee, saints are normal beings like you, flesh is just flesh, use your body for glory of God.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Ask for purity with humility, charity yields rich fruit, do not approach marriage with wornout bodies & disillusioned minds, undertake crusade of manliness & purity, live like angels, resolve firmly to lead clean life, the finest men are chaste, ask Apostle John for purity of heart.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Pray now, live ambitious reparation, abandon yourself in Jesus' arms, never a monologue, leave silence for dry hearts, don't neglect spiritual reading, build up fuel from spiritual reading.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Persevere in prayer, don't force it, Engrave special moments in your memory, spend whole nights praying, keep in touch with Christ, every day, no sanctity without, Apostolic life worth what your prayer is worth, sincerity of intention, pray whenever wherever the Holy Spirit breathes on you.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Get acquainted with God, become a bonfire, unworthy yet son of God, becomes Child for us, hope is not in vain, Ask & you shall receive, Make notes during day, special prayers of children & of the sick, don't change prayer either because consoling or dry, ask for Perseverance.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Action needs prayer, Prayer > atonement > action, all-powerful foundation of spiritual edifice, Our Father, slowly, Liturgical > private choice, bread & Word, friends let you down but not the Friend, Mary's approach > Martha's, put yourself in presence of God.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Admire purity, don't imperil priests, speak well of them, way to love God, mantle of charity, get Plan of Life, only monotony without Love, get up at fixed time, Order with virtue, time will multiply.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Laymen disciples, you need Director, for your soul, don't hide from his counsel, lose fear of being known, Priest always another Christ, do not touch my Christs, venerate the priesthood, do not make fun of any priests, it's poor taste.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Obedience + readiness, get to know the Holy Spirit, don't hinder Paraclete, your own mind = bad adviser, build palace of sanctification with Director.

from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá

Learn Discretion, remove your bitter failures from criticism of others, throw them away, do Not Compromise, don't put brothers on the spot.

Full Text | Intro: One of the aims of The Josias is to translate integralist texts into English. From the commentaries and disputations of the great Baroque scholastics, to the writings of 20th century continental traditionalists, to the teachings of the popes before Leo XIII— many of the most important integralist writings are not yet available to anglophone readers. We begin our series with Quare Lacrymae, a speech of Pope Pius VI’s, which arguably begins the “modern” phase of Catholic social teaching.

Full Text | by Edmund Waldstein, O.Cist. | 1. Acts are determined by their objects. 2. For acts have natures. 3. The goodness or evil of an act is derived in the first place from the goodness of their object. 4. Human acts, in the strict sense, are acts that proceed from reason and will. 5. Like all acts, moral acts are determined by their objects. 6. The object of the moral act thus has two components. 7. Objects which are “materially” the same can be determined as different kinds of actions by the formal component. 8. Because the object determines the nature of an act, it is the most important reality in judging the morality of an act— more important than the ulterior consequences of an act, or the intentions of the agent with respect to such consequences, or any other circumstances of the act. 9. To understand how an evil moral object, even if good consequences are expected from it, is contrary to happiness, it is helpful to consider the distinction between making and doing, and between art and prudence. 10. Making proceeds from art, which is a habit that enables someone to make well. 11. Doing proceeds from prudence, which is a habit that enables a person to recognize and choose what tends towards the perfection and end of a person as a person. 12. Happiness is not some product of human activity to be produced by cunning design; it is the activities of human life itself done in a truly human, a truly rational way.

"But to love that good according to itself, that it may remain and be shared and that nothing be done against this good, this gives to a person the right relation to that society of the blessed. And this is love [caritas] which loves God for his sake and neighbors"

"The temporal common good is thus subordinate to the eternal common good, and the temporal rulers are subordinate to the hierarchy of the Church."

"before the second coming, the City of God is present in a hidden and partial way here on earth in the Church militant. In this temporal life, we do not yet have the vision of the divine essence, but we know God through the theological virtue of faith and love Him with the same love that we will have in Heaven."

"authority of the polity is derived from God because it is derived from the common good. The primary intrinsic common good of the polity is the unity of order, peace."

"so it is natural for many villages to come together to form a city (πόλις), a complete or perfect society, which does not depend on any greater society to help it achieve its ends. Such complete societies (which we can call ‘polities’ or ‘commonwealths’) take many forms in different times and places, but they always include some kind of rule ordering them to the common good."

"the greatest natural human activity is the activity of philosophical contemplation, whereby persons can transcend the temporal world and attain to eternal truths, and finally to the ultimate cause of all things."

"any coherent and complex form of socially established cooperative human activity through which goods internal to that form of activity are realized in the course of trying to achieve those standards of excellence which are appropriate to, and partially definitive of, that form of activity, with the result that human powers to achieve excellence, and human conceptions of the ends and goods involved, are systematically extended."

"There are certain common goods to which a family can attain: the common celebration of feasts, certain truths, the beauties of music, dance, and so on, and above all the tranquility of order of its own life... A family is thus in another sense incomplete, as it is naturally ordered to a greater society that enables it to achieve its own common goods better and to share in other, greater common goods."

"begins to see that his whole life is bound up with others in a political society in which great common goods, such as justice, can be realized, in which people hold each other accountable for what they do... and in which a governing authority orders them."

"true common goods are honorable goods. Goods such as truth, justice, peace are common goods in the full sense. They are not diminished by being shared. Moreover they are not ordered to us; we are ordered to them. One desires to promote justice and truth for their own sakes. And they are better than private goods. It is honorable to attain a good for one man, but it is better and more godlike to attain a good in which many can share (cf. Nicomachean Ethics 1094b)."

"A private good is ordered to the one whose good it is. In loving a private good, one is actually loving the person for whom that good is intended... A common good, on the other hand, is a good that is not diminished by being shared."

"There is nothing sinful about loving lower goods as long as they are not preferred to higher goods; sin comes about when they are loved more than the higher goods, or in a way that is not compatible with loving God above all things. A sin is mortal if a lower good is chosen in a way incompatible with loving God as the final end of one’s life"

"In every creature what is desirable is the likeness of the Creator, but every creature falls short of the infinite perfection of the creator. God alone can satisfy. He is objective happiness"

"two kinds of knowledge of God: a natural knowledge that knows God indirectly as the cause of creatures and a supernatural knowledge that will behold God directly. And so there are two kinds of elicited love of God: a natural, and a supernatural love. The supernatural love of God is a gift of grace, which perfects natural love."

"The perfection that they have is a participation, a partial sharing, in His perfection."

"All things, by desiring their own perfection, desire God Himself, inasmuch as the perfections of all things are so many similitudes of the divine being."

"The unity that belongs to the multitude of creatures is the unity of order, the harmony that binds them all together."

"The perfections that exist separately in the multitude of created things exist in a unified and more perfect manner in the God who made them."

"The goodness of creatures is a participation in the goodness of God, a partial sharing by way of likeness to God’s own goodness."

"There is nothing lacking in God. There is no division in Him, no distension of Him, no limit to Him. He is an infinite ocean of perfection, and He possesses it all at once in the eternal instant of His infinite life. There is no unrealized potential in God; He is pure act. And therefore He is infinitely and completely good. In the unspeakable happiness of the trinitarian life, God’s infinite perfection is known, expressed, loved, and given between three persons who are each the one God."

"man’s intrinsic good (his own act done well) is called subjective happiness, while the object of that act, his extrinsic good, is called objective happiness. We can now see that most properly speaking the final end of man is objective happiness, rather than the subjective attainment of that end or the delight in attaining it."

"The intrinsic final end of human life is thus to do the act with reason in accordance with those qualities that enable this act to be done well, namely, the intellectual and moral virtues."

"The purpose of the knife is not just to cut, but to cut well. To do its own act well, a thing needs a certain quality or qualities, traditionally called ‘virtues.’ The virtue of a knife is sharpness because sharpness is the quality that enables a knife to cut well. So we can say that the intrinsic good of anything that has an act of its own is to do its own act with its own virtue."

"A little boy does not know very distinctly what his final end is, and so he can be easily deceived about what contributes to it. His parents therefore command him to do certain things that help him begin to attain his good."

"So his desire for them is caused by his desire for a complete perfection—it is only because he desires complete perfection that he desires them at all."

"Natural things do not merely wish to continue existing, they wish to complete and perfect their natures."

"anything that acts at all must have something analogous to a desire for the good. This is because action is simply unintelligible without reference to some end or goal, since the final cause is the cause of causes. Aristotle shows in the Physicsthat natural things are things which have internal principle of motion and that this motion is toward an end. Even inanimate things seem to have at least a tendency to remain in existence and resist destruction."

"The good itself is the primary thing—it is ultimately that which makes the activity of attaining it desirable. It is because the truth is good that the philosopher wants to know it. It is because a person is good that another person wants to befriend him."

"For example, we can distinguish between learning a truth, the truth itself, and delighting in the truth. Or we can distinguish between taking steps to become friends with someone, the friend himself, and delighting in the friend. Delight in an honorable good can itself be an honorable good, but the good in which one delights is better than the delight. Delight in attaining a truth is an honorable good, but it is natural to love the truth itself more than one’s delight in it."

"A man who sacrifices friendship or justice for pleasure is rightly called a ‘pig,’ because pleasure is a good of the senses, which we have in common with animals, whereas honorable goods are goods of rational nature. An honorable good is not wanted for the sake of getting something else, not even pleasure, it is wanted for its own sake... useful goods are primarily wanted for their usefulness in getting other goods, pleasant goods for pleasure, and honorable goods simply because they are good and desirable in themselves."

"Many economists claim that in any free exchange each party must think that they are getting something better out of the deal. But people are not such fools. A widow who sells her wedding ring in order to buy food is fully aware that her ring is better than the food, but she also realizes that food is more necessary. Far from being pleased at the ‘free’ exchange giving her something better, she is sad that cruel necessity forces her to exchange the better for the worse."

"Health and medicine are both good, but medicine is for the sake of health, and health is better than medicine. Studying is good and knowing is good, but studying is for the sake of knowing and knowing is better than studying."

"A whole chair is better than part of a chair. A whole car is better than part of a car. A whole garden is better than one flower."

"In reality, virtue and wisdom are better and the Athenians only prefer pleasure and wealth out of ignorance; they do not know wisdom and virtue well enough to see how good they are."

"a definition of a cause by its effect. The good is a cause. It is the final cause, the end or purpose. Aristotle famously distinguishes four different causes: the material of which something is made, the form that that material has, the agent that gives the material its form, and the end for the sake of which the agent gives the material its form."

"a great many examples of basic desires and their objects, and argues that in each case the object is not good because it is desired, but desired because it is good. Hunger is the desire for food, but food is not good because there is hunger. Rather, there is hunger because food is good and necessary for the preservation of one’s substance."

"And this is the first definition of the good that Aristotle gives: the good is what all want, or desire."

Full Text | by Edmund Waldstein, O.Cist. | "The following thirty-seven theses give a basic overview of the Aristotelian-Thomist account of the good, as interpreted by Laval School Thomists such as Charles De Koninck, Duane Berquist, and Marcus Berquist."

"Catholic Integralism is a tradition of thought that, rejecting the liberal separation of politics from concern with the end of human life, holds that political rule must order man to his final goal. Since, however, man has both a temporal and an eternal end, integralism holds that there are two powers that rule him: a temporal power and a spiritual power. And since man’s temporal end is subordinated to his eternal end, the temporal power must be subordinated to the spiritual power."

"The Josias – seeking to articulate an authentically Catholic political stance from which to approach the present order of society." ** Website
