Unplugging A Girl From Her iPod

Byron writes: Reformed “nice guy” here with some feedback and solution to a problem I’ve not yet seen in your experience. Your blog so succinctly highlights the disparity between what women say they want and what turns them on. A crucial distinction that your haters fail to grasp. Sure (most) women want a beta provider but the [...]

The Unbearable Triteness Of Hating

After three years doing this blog a wearisome predictability in types of hate becomes apparent. The unoriginal uniformity of the hate is its most intriguing feature, as it makes one wonder whether humans come preinstalled with mindware that executes in scripted patterns when certain sensitive buttons are pushed, or if the haters all gather in [...]

Two Words Women Love To Hear

I was speaking with a woman of considerable savviness in matters of male-female socializing. I wanted to know how to deal with a situation that required tip-toeing the line between candor and deceit. This is the advice she gave me. ME: So this girl that I think is cute asks me if the girl she [...]

Sexual Experience Is Overrated

For women, that is. Men can never have too much sexual experience. The following conversation I had with Silverback in the City Zeets will explain why. ~~~ Zeets: I’m pretty sure she’s only been with one other guy her whole life. Me: Is she a virgin? Zeets: Not a virgin… technically. But emotionally she may [...]

Update: Miranda Kerr Follows My Advice Instead Of Her Own

A reader who requested anonymity sent me some background information on Miranda Kerr. You probably don’t have many Aussie readers, since they would gleefully point out that Miranda doesn’t take her own advice. This guy ripped off and lied to her family, just like everyone else around him. Miranda likes the bad boys too. Search [...]

Relationship Advice From A Supermodel

An Australian supermodel, Miranda Kerr, has put together a list of tips men should follow to keep their women happy and their relationships strong. (Article courtesy of reader J.N.) Kerr revealed her top 10 romance tips to readers of AskMen.com, who voted her most desirable Australian woman in the world. They are: 1. Buy the [...]

Hilarious Interview With Mayor Of Johannesburg About Upcoming World Cup

See it here. “If the public transport was any good would you use it?” “Absolutely, absolutely.” “So you admit that it’s not?” It just gets worse better from there. Filed under: Culture, Globalization

Why Game Will Continue To Be Relevant

Reason One Money is becoming less important as a male attractiveness criterion for women. Note that this doesn’t mean women don’t prefer richer men than themselves; what it means is that more women are making good money and thus the pool of higher income men is smaller than it was in the past. Since women [...]

Reader Mailbag: Flakes, Snakes and Alpha Male Tales

Email #1: I am currently seeing a girl who I like to invite over to my place to have some fun. She often follows through, but at the last minute she flakes or attempts to make changes to my plans. Recently, she’s done this 3 days in a row. I don’t get angry, but I [...]

Beta Or Herb?

A running theme on this blog is the frightful sight of herbs and betas performing slow motion self-emasculations. While the herb and the beta are closely related, there are some notable differences between them. In this post, I defined the herb: *herb, noun – a schlumpy, nondescript white guy with no fashion sense, chin, or sexual gravitas, who has [...]

The Most Beta Book Ever

Reader Mike sent me a media release for a book signing by a guy named James Henry (a name like that screams old-fashioned white knighter), who authored a book titled “The Laws of Love: A Guide to Gallantry“. Here is an excerpt of the release: AS COURTSHIP DECLINES, CONCERN FOR CHIVALRY IS ON THE RISE A New Book The Laws [...]

Second Thoughts

Imagine you ignored everything you read here and proposed to your girlfriend. She accepted. Would you have second thoughts if you saw her Facebook page the next day and she had changed her profile photo to this? (hat tip: Lance Armstrong’s Molester Mustache): The poor bastard who married this girl is in for a world [...]

Beta Of The Month Contest

I had no intention of bringing back the Beta of the Month contest, but these three sad sacks were an irresistible draw. The audience demands it, pay-per-view wants it, and the suits are throwing money at the talent scouts — namely, me. BOTM Candidate #1 is a commenter to a ridiculously one-sided and myopic online article [...]

Double Bagger

Zeets phoned in from the bowels of DC. “They passed this law that puts a five cent fee on each bag you use at a store. The city’s already made something like $150K off it.” “Leftie fascists.” “So I’m standing in line at Giant and don’t have a reusable bag with pictures of basil on [...]

Play Rape

Reader Chad emails: Why so many rape fantasies in women’s romance novels? How to take advantage of this female perversion without getting arrested? It’s true. Romance novels, read almost entirely by women, are flush full of rape fantasies. If fantasy (or as I like to call it, “hyperreality”) didn’t reflect reality then we would hear and read [...]

Best Reader Comments

It’s commenter appreciation day, when I pay tribute to the love and joy that you, the readers, bring to this shadowy outpost. Consider today a respite from hateration and an embrace of loveration. First, the best pulled from the files of Kick a Bitch: damn that bitch fell out of the ugly tree and smacked [...]

The Ultimate Shit Test

Behold Diversity

The Democratic National Committee this morning released this clip of the president rallying the troops, if rather coolly, for 2010. Obama’s express goal: “reconnecting” with the voters who voted for the first time in 2008, but who may not plan to vote in the lower-profile Congressional elections this year. Obama speaks with unusual demographic frankness [...]

Sex Ratio, Redux

For those who are interested in a syncretism of competing sex ratio theories (an elite audience, I’m sure), Jason Malloy sent me an email responding to my ‘Sausage Fest‘ post, and responding indirectly to Peter Frost whose quote I used in that post: Roissy, Hey, I just came across your sex ratio post from several weeks [...]

Patronizing Women Turns Them On

Reader Camron emailed: I’ve dated lots of women and one common thread I’ve noticed is around the 1st or 2nd date, about 3/4 into the date, if you haven’t said anything for a minute the woman will ask “What are you thinking?” Obviously I’m thinking about how awesome it would be to take her home [...]

Ass Saving and Wife Taming

Reader GdI wrote in the comments to yesterday’s post: All very interesting but I miss Roissy, whose near-daily offerings were that rarest of things online: unique. Funny, pithy, deeply irreverent, yet also profoundly based on a coherent and totally counterrevolutionary (and utterly reality-based) worldview. As Ken Tynan said, “Write heresy, pure heresy …” And so [...]

Descent Of Man

A couple of years ago two neuroscientists wrote a book about a supposedly little-studied extinct group of humans whose bones were found in South Africa. A very large skull with child-like facial features was discovered, and the skeleton was dubbed “Boskop Man”. The scientific community of South Africa was small, and before long the skull [...]

Sedition Is The Highest Form Of Dissent

What is it with left wingers and their sick compulsion to denigrate everything that is good about their countries? I’d hate to think it’s something as banal as snooty status jockeying to distance themselves from the lesser patriotic proles, but that’s probably it. Hey, Clegg, while you’re feeling bad for the Nazis maybe you could [...]

Heady Pettiness

I was with a girl shopping for assorted consumerist baubles. Technically, she was shopping and I was providing color commentary. A man must learn to amuse himself to pull through these dreaded moments. In the middle of a well-delivered quip, I noticed from the most distant corner of my eye a familiar jeans-covered ass. I [...]

It May Be Better To Game In Small Groups

Randall Parker forwarded me a link to a study about abundance of mate choice affecting the quality of the choice. Quantity may determine quality when choosing romantic partners The context in which humans meet potential mates has a hidden influence on who they decide to pursue. In particular, when people have a large number of [...]

Apple iPhone 4G Leak

I’m just gonna throw this out there, reader beware. I know a person with ties to Apple who thinks the leak was probably intentional. Supposedly, it’s unheard of for a top secret prototype technology to leave campus grounds for any reason. So this person doesn’t believe the story that a programmer got drunk at a [...]

Even Blind Men Prefer The Optimal 0.7 Waist-To-Hip Ratio

Another scientific experiment demonstrates that beauty is not in the eye of the beholder. Or, in this case, not even in the blind eye of the beholder. Fat feminists weep bitter tears. Naomi Wolf tosses her useless credentials in the garbage. Beauty is, as I’ve been saying since day 1 on this blog, universal and [...]

The State + Women = Boot Stamping On A Beta Face

Welmer over at The Spearhead put up a short post with accompanying video illustrating in very graphic terms (the best kind of terms) what happens when you couple the feminism-abetted cultural perception of women as vulnerable creatures with women’s opportunistic leveraging of that favorable perception, and reinforce the resulting bitches’ brew with the sledgehammer of the state.

Great Scenes Of Game In The Movies

In the last ‘Great Scenes’ post, we watched Cary Grant big facing Katharine Hepburn until she almost passed out from arousal. This time, we take a look at how deftly Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) handles Phyllis Dietrichson’s (Barbara Stanwyck) shit tests (and in the process practically invents film noir). Phyllis (0:02): My husband! You were [...]

Greatest Pimp Slap Ever

Impressive windup: fi’ dolla Backhand: benjamin Not even pausing to glower at the chick after slapping her: priceless (Hey, the man was in the middle of a conversation.)

Chatroulette Game

Want to get chicks to show their tits? Well, you could seduce them. Or… you could take the quick and dirty route and blackmail them with a snake, a bird, and Chatroulette. Gizmodo has the story. One of the commenters tried emotional blackmail game. So…. In the name of science ;o) I tried this for [...]

Want A Happy Relationship? Make Sure Your Woman Never Rises Above Your Status

What happens when a woman’s social status leapfrogs her man’s status? Breakups. In the past dozen years, nearly every woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress has broken up with her husband, boyfriend or lover — some just months after thanking them from the award show stage. Status is interesting when applied to [...]

Opportunity Is Everywhere

Today we’ll accompany an average American, SWPL Six-pack, on his daily routine as he makes an effort to meet a number of attractive women that he sees. It’s a Saturday. He gets up in the morning, showers, dresses and walks to the Starbucks down the block. While waiting at an intersection for the light to [...]

Relationship Limbo

Relationships generally follow the same trajectory, despite men and women having contradictory mating goals. The optimal trajectory for each sex differs as such: For men: – Meet – If alpha, seduce. If beta, butter up. – Sex – If nothing in common, date for a few weeks – If something in common, date for a [...]

May December Game

The third most frequent email request I receive from readers is advice for how to date younger women. (The second most common email request is of the type “Hey I was a beta with this girl I like. What could I have done better?”. The first is “Meet me this Thursday.”) I’ve written a few [...]

Attack Of The Manjaws!

Something is afoot in the land. An ossified pall hardens like cement over our Western women.

Using This Blog As A Pickup Prop

A late 20-ish/early 30s woman with a passing resemblance to Jennifer Connelly sat down on the springless couch to my right, relieved that she found a spot to sit in the crowded coffee shop. She sunk all the way in like a turtle retreating into its shell, and I smiled and told her the couch [...]

The Wig

9pm on a weekday night. I leaned like a pillar of masculine detachment against the edge of the bar, blessing the peasantry with my royal aloofness. I sipped a gin and tonic, surprised with myself for agreeing with a buddy to go out on a slow night for some drinks. I doubly surprised myself for [...]

Game Is Pushing Me Away From Love

Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

The Number One Dead Giveaway That Your Wife Is About To Cheat

The wicked knowledge is disseminating to the masses that women are natural born cheaters at heart; perhaps not as indiscriminately promiscuous as men, but neither as angelic as the Victorian and Christian ideal.

Statements That Imply Your Higher Value

“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!

Things Your Real Estate Agent Won’t Tell You

In various hot spots around the city you will see units of public housing. Usually you can identify these complexes by the disrepair of the property and the empty liquor bottles littering the sidewalk in front. It’s easy enough to avoid renting or buying a place next to a dump, but what if the public [...]

Sausage Fest

What are the implications of imbalanced sex ratios? What happens when there are more men than women, or vice versa? In the matter of a surplus of men (i.e. a sexual market favoring women), we in the US may already be experiencing that on an enormous (heh) scale. I wrote about this misunderstood catastrophe in [...]

Mimicking Social Circle Game

She Insulted You. What Now?

One time, like a stink bomb dropped in the middle of a spring meadow, your girlfriend called you a rude name, and not in jest. The insult itself was nothing that would scandalize polite company. On the scale from “dummy” to “motherfucker” it was closer to the former. It was a rambunctious conversation between just [...]

Exporting Democracy, Importing Socialism

Tiger’s Texts

Pretty much what I expected from a guy like Woods.

The Beta Switch Technique

The beta switch technique is best when used [...]
