@DrAlexTatem Unless I’m missing something, the protocol used in the medical study / article was 3,000 iu HCG and 75 iu FSH x three times per week. Isn’t that quite a lot?
We need to stop coddling people who are failing in the dating market.
The narrative that “modern dating is just hard” is a comfortable lie designed to protect egos.
The uncomfortable truth is that the Sexual Marketplace is brutally efficient.
It functions exactly like real estate or the stock market.
It does not care about your feelings, your degree, or what your friends say about you.
If you are struggling to get the result you want (dates, Sex, or commitment), there is no mystery.
You are failing a basic economic equation.
There are only two levers you can pull in sales.
If you aren’t closing the deal, one (or both) of these is broken:
1. The Product (You) 2. The Price (Your Standards)
Lever 1: The Product (Value)
In ANY market, Value is determined by the Buyer, not the Seller.
This is where the delusion begins.
A woman calculates her Value based on her own metrics:
• “I have a PhD/MD.”
• “I’m a boss babe.”
• “I own my own condo.”
She thinks these are product features that increase her price.
But to the Buyer (high-Value men she wants to attract), these are often neutral or even negative assets.
Men do not date resumes.
We date women.
• Her view: “I’m a doctor, I’m a catch.”
• The Market’s view: “She is stressed, holds massive student debt, works 80 hours a week, and has a masculine/combative energy required to survive in her boss babe day-to-day.”
This is not a high-Value product in the relationship market.
It might be high-Value in the labor market, but you cannot cash in “Career Points” for “Dating Points.” They are different currencies.
If the Product is 30+ years old (depreciating assets in terms of fertility/youth), carries debt, and comes with attitude, the Product needs development.
It needs to be more fit, more feminine, more cooperative, and more peaceful to compete with the fresh inventory (23-year-olds) entering the market every day.
Lever 2: The Price (Standards)
If you cannot or will not change the product (you can’t change your age, and you won’t quit your job), you must adjust the Price.
The “Price” is what you demand from a man in exchange for a relationship with you:
• Height requirements (6ft+)
• Income requirements (must out-earn the doctor)
• Status requirements
• Commitment timeline
A 30-year-old female doctor practices Hypergamy just like any other girl.
She wants a man who is her equal or better.
That means she is looking for a man who earns $300k+, is fit, is tall, and is likely 30-40 years old.
That man has options. He is the scarcity in this market.
He can “buy” a relationship with a 23-year-old fit, cooperative, fun girl who treats him like a king.
Or, he can “buy” a relationship with a 30-year-old doctor who demands he meets a checklist of 50 items.
If the woman is “struggling,” it is because she is trying to sell a used luxury sedan at the price of a brand-new Ferrari.
The buyers with that kind of cash are walking right past her lot to the Ferrari dealership.
The market is a mirror.
When a woman says “I can’t find a good man,” what they are really saying is:
“The men I WANT don’t want ME.”
There are plenty of “good men” available:
• The plumber making $80k.
• The short guy.
• The guy who is 5 years younger and building his career.
But she won’t date them.
She ignores 80% of the market and competes for the top 10% of men.
Her “Price” is too high for the Value of her “Product.”
Stop blaming the blaming “modern dating scene.”
The market is working perfectly.
It is filtering out bad deals.
If you have been on the market for years with no buyer, the market has spoken. You are overpriced.
You have two choices:
1. Develop the Product: get hotter, get more feminine, become a source of peace rather than stress.
2. Lower the Price: Adjust your standards to match your actually Sexual Marketplace Value, not your corporate resume Value.
Everything else is just cope.
