Summary: the male-female human relationships can be thought of as a host-parasite arms race dynamic with both genders evolving ever more sophisticated manipulation techniques.
I'm reading "The red queens book" on sexuality and it discusses the origins and purpose of sex. Long story short, most likely sex evolved as a defense against bacteria, viruses and parasites.
It's an evolutionary arms race - organisms inventing new "locks" to prevent parasite binding to their cells, while parasites create new "keys" to open these locks and suck nutrients out of host cells. The battle rages on and on. Parasites have evolved in computer simulations and real world (computer viruses). It's entirely possible that there are parasites within human mind or society at large.
Additionally, the "red queen" book talks about most competition within species coming from other members of the same, species, not environmental factors, like cold and starvation. (You don't need to outrun a bear, you need to outrun the slowest guy around you to survive)
Does this sound familiar? A light bulb went off in my head - women can be acting like parasites, trying to extract resources from males. Males resist commitment and evolve sophisticated techniques to trick females into giving up sex it's minimum investment (pretty much the essence of TRP and game).
Females are counter evolving new strategies of extraction of resources from males (make up, alimony, date rape accusations, husband/daddy state, "seeking arrangement.com" and other ways to sell their sexuality online)
If this parasite-host relationship is true, there are two important takeaways :
1) Game is not a permanent solution, and eventually women would catch up and counter it. The "rape" accusations already seem like a move in that direction - if PUA could run wild 6 years ago and overcome LMR, now they are much more likely to be slapped with a false rape accusation for the same technique.
2) Women would invent new ways of extracting resources from men, like unmarried man tax, etc.
