If you remove providing, you are essentially asking if people would still use a computer that has no power source.
For the vast majority of women, a man's utility is the entry-level protocol. Historically and evolutionarily, a woman's survival and the survival of her offspring has always depended on a man's ability to capture resources. It is no different in today's modern simulation, where women have their own income. They still look for a man who represents surplus.
But to answer the question: would they still date men?
Yes. but only the top 1% of aura.
You would need nuclear-level status. Physical dominance. Or dark triad charms. If you possess those, women will often subsidize you.
Trophy husbands and sugar mamas are very real things.
These videos were the single most expensive flex in labor history.
Tech workers had the best negotiating position of any white-collar workforce in 50 years. Remote work, $250K+ comp, four-day work weeks, unlimited PTO. The only thing keeping that deal alive was ambiguity. Nobody outside tech knew exactly what the day looked like.
Then thousands of people filmed it and posted it to the one platform where non-tech people actually hang out.
Every "day in my life as a Google PM" video that showed two hours of real work became ammunition for every CFO building a layoff deck. Every CEO trying to justify RTO got a free highlight reel. Every recruiter benchmarking comp against "market rate" suddenly had video evidence that the market was overpaying.
The negotiating leverage depended on information asymmetry. The TikToks destroyed it voluntarily. For free. For likes.
True. At the same time it might be hard to keep them out because dating as a practice sits somewhere between sex work and courtship having so much of the dynamics of each depending on the environment, person, culture, etc.
Nope! I disagree. I stayed with one of my brothers for a while before I got my own apartment. Everyone literally stops moving once my brother’s son falls asleep.
It got worse to the point that before anyone opens the door, you have to peep through the window to know if he is sleeping or not.
When I had my daughter, I made sure i would do everything I have to do and move normally if I have to.
Today, if you like switch on a blender while she’s sleeping, she no really send anybody.
“Why is there so much effort being put into trying to find intelligent life on other planets, when there is a serious question about how much intelligent life there is here?”
— Thomas Sowell
Bret Weinstein just said something that won’t leave my head:
For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding.
Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.
Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected.
Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.
And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.
Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?
Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.
Watch it all the way through, then tell me — honestly — does this explain the absolute intensity we’re seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?
Real answers only. Quote-post if it hits you in the chest like it hit me.
One thing you must understand about ideas is that a truth which is 80% accurate takes one sentence to communicate while a 95%+ accurate one takes like 10 books. No one wants to read 10 books, so all poasters are incentivized to communicate things which are only correct 80% of the time.
Women love voting because it gives them a sense of control over the big scary world. It triggers the same pathways in her brain as telling her man or the tribal leaders her concerns and values.
In the situation this wiring was designed for, it is very good and productive. Because at the end of the day, the masculine leaders in charge of the protecting her or the tribe will consider it but still make the ultimate call of what is in her or the tribes best interest.
In a modern democracy however, it is completely disastrous because
1) the receiver doesn’t actually give a shit about her or the tribe, and actually is just saying whatever it can to exploit her naive requests to pillage the system
2) Men do not have the same drive. We see voting as asking some other man to come and save us so we don’t really do it. This leads to women having disproportionate political influence.
3) In a democracy, the majority’s will is not a suggestion but the final decision. Her well meaning ideas will get implemented without pragmatic checks against reality. Or more likely, claimed they are being implemented, when actually what gets implemented is whatever benefits those in power.
Voting is pornography for women.
Both the male use of pornography and the female use of voting are driven by natural instinctual drives which are good but which got hijacked by the modern world to make them evil.
Furthermore, both are pursuing their innate highest order value (for women, protecting herself and her offspring; for men, creating offspring) but actually achieve the complete opposite result.
The only truly fair trade if women want men to reject pornography is for women to reject politics. Until she does this, she is simply a femcel gooner.
I am angry.
I am not angry that the Presidency is deleting tweets, I am not surprised, if BAT had any iota of integrity we won't even be where we are as a nation.
And it didn't start with BAT, it started with everyone who was foolish, innocently or willfully enough to believe that GMB had a good head on his shoulder.
It is also clear that the people who follow BAT do not follow him for his integrity, no well meaning individual can follow him and not suffer a dent on their integrity or reputation.
400 prophets prophesied that Ahab will be successful in the battle with Syria, not a single one of them could have fathomed that they were prophesying under the influence of a lying spirit.
The story of every man of God who spoke well of and for BAT.
The legacy of Buhari is the legacy of ineptitude, willful cluelessness, wickedness and backwardness.
A billion dollar post humous propaganda budget will not change that.
Imagine Mordecai discovering that some jews went about declaring that God wanted to use Haman for a reason, a man who had made it his life mission to wipe out an entire nation of people.
Are you not afraid that as a Christian, that you are running mad? If you find words and "logic" to support or defend or confuse the perception of the genocide going on in Nigeria.
As a youth in Nigeria, are you not afraid that you are running mad, that after hundreds of youth were massacred at Lekki Toll Gate, that someone is telling you APC government means well for you and you are believing it.
But I am not angry about any of the above. I am simply angry that some people are still allowing themselves to be gaslighted.
I am angry that some people who never said a word as the carnage and deaths were unleashed on Christians in the North, now suddenly found a voice to explain that America does not love Nigeria and that the invasion of America is about America's interest...
So in whose interest was it for christians to be killed in Nigeria, like flies. In whose interest was it for farmers to be beheaded and burnt?
Your lots are cursed, may my soul not be found in your company.
Some foolish Christians think silence is a strategy... fools of the finest pedigree.
MuMu Ticket - Christians, Silence
Burning of Deborah - Christians, Silence
Killing of Christians in Kaduna - Christians, Silence
Introduction of Bill to compensate "repentant" terrorists - Christians, Silence
The list of Christian silence is long and deafening.
Whereas a christian has only one job, helping men meet God, how can you do that in Silence?
As far back 2021 reports had it that 3,530 of 4,761 Christians killed worldwide were in Nigeria. I shudder because I know the unreported far outweighs the reported.
Now Muslims who had no sympathy for the Christian deaths in the North are suddenly the foremost "lover of Nigeria", and want to defend her "sovereignty" against the "invasion" of America. You are mad!
We saw you, we saw you when you were secretly happy at the deaths of those innocent people; Fools, second-class citizens of the religion of "peace". Wake us up when your Imams can lead prayers in a mosque in the North.
House slaves who think they are better than the field slaves, fools. And field slaves who think the favour of the house equate to freedom. Fools raised to power of ten.
If we had a President, hundreds of lives will not be wasted daily in the country. When we have a President and not a shabby effort at make-believe, no one would have to tell us.
No matter how much money is spent on the conditioning of the citizens of this country to normalize killings and death, some of us will never be numb to it.
Wickedness is wickedness, and we will continue to decry it. Injustice is injustice, we will continue to speak against it.
TInubu is a failure of a President, he may have been successful at rigging or buying and owning an army of sycophants and Baba sopes.
As far as the protection and defense of the lives of the citizens of Nigeria is concerned, that man is a failure.
The argument is not about whether he is a failure, the argument is whether he is the one or party to orchestrating the killings or not.
Peace if you come in peace.
Do you know how gangsta you have to be in your faith to watch islamist terrorist kill your children, rape your women and burn your churches in a bid to force to to renounce your religion and you still turn up to church to worship God.
There's nothing more brave than this.
May the Almighty God hear their cries and may the host of heavens situate in the hearts of men to fight their battles. Amen.
@titilayo64 If I was there, I would have split her head open with a huge stone, sinning is a bad thing on its own, sinning openly is very destructive to the health of a society, mid-long term. That's why shaming is a good tool in fighting decadence.
