The reality - and I hate to say it so plainly - is that we have hit a critical point where the majority of western women are now considered by western men to be whores. This process of degradation may have been in the works for the last few decades, but it is only in the last couple of years that the brand of women has collapsed to the point where this new status has been internalized, in that men are now beginning to TREAT women as they have behaved - rather than according to past generational proprieties

I do not blame women exclusively for this collapse in standards, as all social guardrails of been removed, and being promiscuous has frankly been incentivized. What can you expect them to do, when parents and society are all telling them to indulge - and indeed - most men will reject them if they don’t put out?

But the consequences of this are nevertheless the consequences

Men are psychologically unable to be sexually exclusive with and cherish women who have been with tons of other guys, especially when these women do not have obligations to perform sexually longterm in marriages as they are currently designed

Which is why, in order to save marriage and western civilization itself, I think the #1 reform required is the elimination of the standard marriage licenses' superiority over all other private contracts

Men and women will still get together, because even in these nihilistic times people still want love. But what is missing to allow it to happen is TRUST

And the only way to restore that trust is to make individual, personalized marriage contracts the standard. Marriage will need to be treated like a business arrangement: something that is negotiated beforehand, with expected performance, severance clauses, and hashed out with lawyers

This may seem unsexy, and frankly I would have been opposed to it even a few years ago. But in the same way I can see that the proliferation of prenups has been beneficial, even in just getting men and women to TALK about their expectations, having a more fair power dynamic based on what each party brings into the marriage makes the most sense.

Ironically, this is a return to how things used to be - except back then, family and culture were the enforcement mechanisms - not the law.

Women and men, based on their age, assets, and baggage, will come together on a privately agreed upon basis.

Women will still find men regardless of their past, and will be treated well, but they will come into these arrangements a) on terms requiring long term performance, b) with weaker exit terms, and I predict especially for many women who have been especially promiscuous and are older, c) loss of exclusivity

This latter variable is the main one I see many guys discussing. They can handle committing to a woman who's been around, so long as they aren't forced to be sexually exclusive with her

Obviously your mileage may vary based on what you bring to the table as a woman and a man. But the point is that every new marriage in the 2030s will have different terms. And I expect many old ones will also be renegotiated under the new laws, as pressure from the singles market restructures existing marriages, just as the free love movement and no-fault divorce caused a wave of divorces in the 60s and 70s

God bless you, Mike-- I looked up the CNWDI clearance and it seems you're one of the few who are given this level of trust by the government. You deserve it. The only other person I'm aware of with this level of trust is a guy who does war simulation software that includes nuclear weapons and their effects. You guys make me proud to be American.

🚨 JUST IN: The Twin Falls shooting hero, Jordan Salinas, just put out a statement regarding what's going on. It reads:

"The last 24 hours have been overwhelming. I want to sincerely thank my family, friends, and everyone who has reached out with messages, prayers, and support. I haven't been able to respond to everyone yet, but please know I've seen your messages, and they mean more to me than I can put into words.

In the coming days, I'll share a more complete account of what happened, to the best of my recollection, when I'm able.

For now, my heart remains with the victims, their families, and everyone affected by yesterday's tragedy. Thank you for continuing to keep them in your thoughts and prayers, and thank you all for the incredible support you've shown me and my family."

We need more men & women like this! Thank you, Jordan! You deserve a medal! 🇺🇸

2 years ago, Jordan "The Fearless Patriot" Salinas posted on Facebook "train like your life depends on it because God forbid, one day it might"

Today he helped save the lives of countless civilians from an active shooter at the In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho

what's chilling is that in this very facebook post from 2 years ago, he is posed in the exact same way and holding what appears to be the same gun that he used to save the lives of countless individuals today

Think about this for a second if you are a guy.

Think about who your best friend is right now. Literally say their name in your head right now.

Say it again.

Now if your best friend is married or has a girlfriend say her name in your head.

Now, imagine banging your best friend's wife for 10 months behind his back.

Now also imagine that your best friend (say his name again) works for you. You see him every single day at the office. And every day for 10 months you look him in the eye and act like everything between the two of. you is great. You talk to/with him day in and day out all the while knowing what you're doing.

You make small talk, you go out for beers, you talk about the game last night, every single day, all the while you are banging his wife behind his back.

Also imagine your best friend and his wife have a one year old son. And your best friend is at home babysitting their one year old son while you are banging his wife and complimenting her on taking her pregnancy weight off. Sending her home when you're done with her with your private driver.

Because that's what Gavin Newsom did to his best friend and deputy chief of Staff Alex Tourk.

He banged his wife over and over and over again for 10 months. He spent the night with her in expensive hotel rooms when she was black out drunk (sounds like rape to me). He blew up her phone with texts for hook ups and he did all this knowing she had a drinking problem, with his best friend's wife.

It takes a special type of sociopath to be able to do that. I hope Ruby Ripey's essay in Vanity Fair today is an Eric Swalwell wake up moment for Gavin Newsom and his political future.

In Heat, Hanna's team surveils McCauley and his crew as they break into a repository. But when an officer makes a slight noise, McCauley immediately calls the whole thing off. The scene was based on a real incident in which Chicago detective Charles Adamson, the inspiration for Hanna, surveilled the real Neil McCauley. Michael Mann explains:

“Charlie told me this anecdote about McCauley. The CIU was surveilling McCauley’s crew and through an informant found out that they were going to hit a Wieboldt’s department store at night to get to the safe.

This is when people got paid in cash, and they had a lot of cash around on that certain night. Charlie’s unit was laying on the score from outside and inside the building. McCauley had probably invested five, six weeks setting this thing up.

But McCauley looked around and something intuitive sparked. There was one thing out of place on the outside of the store — one too many trucks in a parking lot or something — and he pulled his crew out and they didn’t do the burglary. They split and they never came back…

What struck me about this story was that McCauley’s act of discipline and professionalism really impressed Charlie. He regarded McCauley with a kind of respect, because of how disciplined he was and what kind of a high-line pro he was, and he wanted to know all about him.”

[Pat Stedman | Dating & Relationship Coach for Men @Pat_Stedman]

Women have a really hard time accepting this, but all the men I know who have been talking about polygyny (and behind the scenes there are many) were initially big believers in monogamy.

The reason their views have changed is simple:

Women don't seem to want monogamy themselves.

Some of these observations of female behavior come from what they've experienced in marriage, some from dating. But both groups have been absorbing the lessons of the other.

Since the removal of patriarchal guardrails and institutions, women are now able to do whatever they want sexually.

And what do we see them do? They sleep with men they are interested in quickly, and tolerate sharing them with other women for months. If they are not able to lock down these men they prefer to remain single (either celibate or playing the field). The only time they violate this is if they need to find someone (because they don't want to work as much / have kids) in which case they will settle for a provider, but will be far more controlled with the sex they do give him.

This trend of sex becoming something "controlled" also happens in most marriages even if they started out with enthusiastic and frequent sex. The bottom line is there is a clear NEGATIVE correlation between the amount of sex given by the woman and the amount of exclusivity by the man.

Some of the cascade effects of this behavior are:

1) men are now committing less to women, not because they are inherently opposed to it, but because they realize that they are essentially going to get treated worse for it. high value men in particular refuse to get married or be exclusive now (or change up after honeymoon phase ends), because they have plenty of options on the "open market".

2) women themselves are becoming hard pressed to commit, not simply due to broken attachment, but because of their own experience dating non-commital chads they are connecting a man's desire to be exclusive with low status (an immensely unfair and contradictory blowback on the guys who are waiting for marriage out of morals).

3) a collapse in the trust between the sexes and accordingly marriage rates. dead(ish) bedrooms and divorces among already married couples.

4) shattered families, economic ruin, and a demographic crisis.

Now, do all men suffer this fate in monogamous marriage? Of course not. Monogamy CAN and did work for many hundreds of years at scale when society elevated men (including the undeserving) and disenfranchised women. Even today it still does largely function among men who are on point and can create this dynamic on a micro level - although even this requires a good faith woman (who has a healthy relationship with sex). Note that these relationships are either highly polarized in roles & energy (mirroring the old macro) and/or highly individualistic & sex positive (integrated).

These men have a sex life so good with their wives they don't care much about other women... and I think this really is how most men would like it to be. Yes, some crave novelty and can't handle exclusivity under any circumstances, but most men are happy to continue sleeping with the same attractive and enthusiastic woman for the rest of their lives. They are romantics like that.

But men are now seeing that women aren't typically the same way. For men, marriage is usually special because in their minds it is a promise of a future of great sex; for women though, it is special because it is a day of pride in getting their dream man. One is the beginning, the other an end. After this achievement however, their passion wanes. The excitement for women is more the drama of the chase, not what comes after the conquest. This is because unlike male sexuality, female sexuality is fundamentally competitive. That doesn't mean women don't need trust as well from a man to fully open up (hook up culture is bad for female self-esteem and pair bonding), but it is the knowledge they aren't the only woman - or at least might not be - that drives their sexuality.

Of course, the female ego despises the argument that although they might want to be treated like a queen in their minds, they are fundamentally aroused by being in the harem. All of our egos despise such contradictions, and men have their own. But you can see this sexuality revealed in female romance novels; it always peaks when the man yields to the woman - when the beauty tames the beast. Then the eroticism dies. It happened in the 50 Shades Trilogy, because it happens in real life. That's why most women loved the first book but didn't bother reading the sequels.

So far the implications of this have been that you can't have it all. As a man you either seek out honeymoon phase after honeymoon phase for the sexual passion, or you sacrifice it for romantic stability and family.

But the question is whether there isn't a way to have both at the same time, and if that isn't really what women themselves are viscerally seeking.

The men I have always seen who do the best with women aren't typically the ones who went straight for exclusivity, but they also aren't the ones who played the field deceptively or cavalierly. The ones with the most knowledge of female nature and who women were most themselves with were the men who saw multiple women OPENLY and honestly. These men care about each woman they are with, they are romantic - they just aren't exclusive. Women are frustrated a little by the fact that he has other women BUT they deeply trust these men... and usually continue seeing them, and often fall in love with them. The only reason it tends to end is because the relationships don't go anywhere. Sometimes it is because these lovers never want to settle down. But it's also because in our current culture, they can't - at least not without finally being tamed.

But maybe that is going to change. Because something has to. The status quo is leading to civilizational collapse. That's not hyperbole. If there isn't a restructuring of relationship dynamics and expectations, there is not going to be a continuation of the species. Not a enough people will simply get together and stay together.

Yet if the choices are constrain female sexuality again or work with it, I think the latter is far more likely. I know many guys like to LARP about getting rid of female rights or returning to purity culture but I see few indications of this happening. There is a deep desire for structure and trust in relationships again, but there is if anything a resistance to macro sexual control. People are if anything becoming more individualistic and exploratory, not less.

Which means it is far more likely we are just going to finally start being honest about female sexuality - not the narrative women have propagated about themselves from a different, more prudish era, but what we have seen it actually is - and channeling this nature constructively. And if that is hypergamy, and hypergamy leads to polygyny, that is what will happen.

Only time will tell, but as sexual hypocrisies are more and more laid bare, the seeds will continue to germinate.

I can tell you Gen Z is ready for anything.

I normally like MHG's posts, but this advice is his worst ever. College is where many young women find their future husbands. Among other reasons, popular and desirable people pair up sooner than loners and losers. And not all college girls are party girls-- many are looking for their soulmate. Also, you can be an imperfect guy and still find someone. I had the chance to get married to someone from college who was awesome, and I was a total fool who thought like MHG here. It ended up cursing me for the next 20 years, during which time I was habitually single with occasional dating until meeting my now-wife in 2021. Do not follow his advice or you, too, will be the one without a chair when the music stops.

[Pat Stedman | Dating & Relationship Coach for Men @Pat_Stedman]

College is the highest density and lowest friction environment for meeting women in your peer group you will EVER experience. It is literally the highest ROI of going to college at this point for most people. It is not something to squander.

If you don't lock a girl in then but at least formed good connections, there are social fumes that last from it for half a decade in big cities. Friends of friends etc. A lot more "serious" opportunities with women then.

But if you miss this second window you are starting from scratch and usually at a major disadvantage. The longer you wait to get together with someone from these extended circles the less likely you will EVER get together with someone, period. Because now you are playing on hard mode.

There is a reason most of the single guys I've worked with in their 30s+ have stagnant social lives. Everyone they know by then is PAIRED UP or run through. Most people I know who are married started dating a college classmate or one of their friends by their mid-20s.

In other words, this is bad advice - if it were good MHG would have followed it personally to its conclusion and entered into a serious relationship or married someone by now, rather than repeating this loop of endless big city dating drama and dopamine churn.

There's a major bottleneck that hits the social lives of singles late 20s / early 30s and it continues to intensify until the single divorcee scene re-emerges with zest among sex craved emptynesters in their late 40s and 50s.

Miss that first window and it's a hard grave to dig yourself out of. If you want to get married and have a family I strongly urge you all to not fuck around.

Ok guys it's very simple: When you pick a woman, you're also picking a drama level. Every woman comes prebuilt with her preferred amount. If you do not produce enough to satisfy her, she will create more. Never choose a woman whose demand for drama exceeds your production.
