I believe that a reason so many women are succeeding at college and careers is ironically because they are subservient and submissive to authority.

Most women with college degrees don’t even know that much, they’re just good at conforming and following orders.

If you’re a highly intelligent male you don’t just blindly do busy work and you think for yourself and don’t always respect authority in the way that women do.

Far from being some “independent woman” these women would be better classified as dependent women.

Only instead of depending on a husband they depend on a boss who they take orders from and are subservient too.

Prestige is downstream of value.

Degrees, elite schools, impressive resumes, and prestigious employers are not ends in themselves. They matter far less than creating undeniable value.

Create value → prestige follows.

Not the reverse.

Marriott is quietly hoping you never learn how their loyalty program actually works.

I did.

There's $1,800/year in free upgrades, free nights, and hidden rate codes sitting inside the same Bonvoy account most guests use for nothing except checking in.

One woman sent a single email before her stay. Marriott upgraded her to a $3,000 suite. For free.

Most guests book on Expedia, check in, check out, and never touch the 9 features Marriott buries behind the login screen.

Here's the full playbook 🧵

> notorious womanizer despite being fat and bald
> retires at 42 as the richest man in the colonies by building a fortune on posting
> world-leading scientist in his SPARE TIME despite little formal education
> hired by the government during the revolution to schmooze people in France
> founded the future most powerful country on earth
> died at an old age universally admired

@an8ryunicorn @KellyLMcCarty I have a feeling she wouldn’t have married him if she didn’t get knocked up lol

[Wesley Abbott @DarrensDog]

@sky_and_sunshin @KellyLMcCarty Yeah she’s married to a 60 year old who knocked her up and she got a job that no guy would ever get at that age.

"Your lack of urgency is wasting your potential."

[Brotherhood @DiggingInTheDi1]

Women entering the workforce was possibly the 2nd most damaging zeitgeist change, right behind female suffrage

Instead of a single income being adequate to acquire a decent cost of living, you now needed two as the extra labor supply translated to lower wages and higher inflation of goods

And because women "need" careers their entire early fertile years are wasted getting a piece of paper that lets them serve a different man somewhere for a paycheck

One that she didn't even need 50 years ago

But to worsen matters, women are extremely pragmatic when it comes to partner selection - most avoid dating a man who makes as much or less than them

So you have fewer partnerships, and among those pairings fewer overall kids

This can all be fixed, but it requires being mean to women, if you aren't prepared to do so you aren't ready to solve the problem

Balogun was in on goal. He beat the defender and was about to score.
No red card. No penalty. No yellow card. No foul. No review.
The bizarre thing is that Fox Sports showed a replay that began just AFTER the defender let go of the arm. So weird. How could the officials miss this? And how could the TV crew miss it as well? @USMNT

[Aristotle 🏛️ @Aristotle7777]

Women used to be 30 years old married with 3 children and a husband living in a house they owned, with a high enough standard of living that she didn’t even need to work and could stay home.

Now 30 year old women have slept with 30 guys, have no children, are not married, live in an apartment and have to go to work full time just to survive.

This isn’t progress, this is societal decline and a dramatically lower quality of life being sold to women as their liberation when in reality it is their enslavement.

#37 GAME LESSONS: GIVING CERTAINTY TO HER IS AS BAD AS YOU NOT BEING ABLE TO HANDLE UNCERTAINTY

1) Showing intent and establishing a man-to-woman dynamic are not the same thing

Showing intent = explicitly demonstrating that you like her.
Establishing a man-to-woman dynamic (premise) = making it clear the interaction is romantic or sexual rather than platonic.

2) Showing interest has benefits

Showing intent does accomplish one important objective:

It removes ambiguity.
It lets the woman know you're not trying to become friends.
It establishes that romantic attraction is on the table.

Showing intent isn't useless, but it comes at a high cost.

3) Showing too much interest gives away your leverage

"You can have me."
"I've already chosen you."

Once the woman knows this with certainty, he argues that your leverage decreases.

4) Certainty gives icks to hot women

Uncertainty keeps attention
Certainty reduces curiosity

Women with many romantic options lose interest once they know they have secured your interest. They did not work for it.

5) Attraction grows from uncertainty

Rather than certainty, attraction is fuelled by questions such as:

Does he actually like me?
Am I winning him over?
Where do I stand?

Removing that uncertainty too early reduces engagement.

6) Beginners have a different problem

Beginners don't create any romantic tension at all.

Instead they:

Become friends
Have endless conversations
Remain coworkers
Enter the friend zone

For them, showing some intent is actually an improvement.

7) Different advice applies at different skill levels

Beginner => Learn to establish romantic intent somehow

Intermediate => Learn to do so without surrendering all leverage

Advanced => Create attraction while maintaining ambiguity

8) Premise is broader than intent

Every expression of intent creates a premise, but not every premise requires explicit intent.

Intent is only one subset of the larger concept.

9) Intent is the lowest-value method of creating a premise

Directly saying "I like you" is the easiest method, but also the least sophisticated one.

10) The ideal is romantic tension without certainty

The interaction should communicate: "This is definitely man-to-woman" without communicating "I've completely chosen you."

11) Explicit declarations often surrender power

"I love you" is an exaggerated example.

Declarations convey complete emotional commitment, especially when made prematurely.

12) Push-pull creates intrigue

This simultaneously conveys:

Attraction
Challenge
Uncertainty

More engaging than pure compliments.

13) Mixed signals create engagement

If a woman cannot completely determine your interest, she is more likely to:

Think about you
Analyse you
Invest attention

14) Certainty reduces investment

If she already knows she has completely won you over,

she no longer needs to:

Pursue
Impress
Qualify herself

15) Early interaction shapes later relationship dynamics

How attraction begins influences:

Who chases whom
Who chooses
Who has leverage later

16) Neediness compounds over time

If the relationship begins with:

You pursuing
Her accepting

This dynamic often continues into the relationship itself. This is why Premise > Outcome

17) Early behaviour influences partner quality

Giving away your power leads to:

Fewer romantic opportunities
Fewer attractive partners
Weaker negotiating position in relationships

18) Your communication determines your results

Everything flows from:

How do you communicate attraction?

Quantity of partners
Quality of partners
Relationship dynamics

19) Power should be preserved throughout the interaction

Never allow the interaction to become one-sided, where:

Your feelings are completely known; hers remain uncertain.

20) Ambiguity is strategically valuable

Leave room for uncertainty.

Not dishonesty, but incomplete certainty.

21) Attraction isn't simply about expressing feelings

There is a difference between:

Expressing emotions and creating attraction.

The latter depends much more on emotional dynamics than straightforward honesty.

22) Skill lies in implication rather than declaration

Advanced social skills mean suggesting attraction, rather than announcing it directly.

23) Men make the same mistake

One of the biggest recurring errors is believing that you must openly declare your interest to create romantic momentum.

This is confusing means with ends.

24) Conclusion

The goal is not to hide attraction, but to create a romantic dynamic without immediately surrendering all certainty about your interest. Attraction should remain a process of mutual discovery rather than one person declaring complete emotional investment while the other simply decides whether to accept it.
