There was an old colleague of mine, we will call him Fred, who had a degree of influence with a difficult partner my company had a contract with. This partner was notorious in our business for gumming up the works whenever possible, and Fred had his job because he was supposedly the only one who could smooth things over with this difficult partner. Of course, Fred created problems for us all by himself, and if he ever did make it easier to work with this partner, it was only by accident. Still, we kept him around, and the joke about Fred was you had to deal with 95% of his bullshit to get the 5% out of him you needed.

And so it is with women. 95% bullshit for the 5% you want.

I get in trouble sometime with some of the guys here because I am still grasping at the ever fading hope that Not All Women Are Like This. I do believe in NAWALT, however I don’t really think it makes much of a difference for most of us. The simple fact is the dating market favors women, so the good ones get scooped up by the most eligible of men leaving the average guy to settle for one of the AWALT posterchildren or go his own way.

You’ve all heard the same old platitudes, women like guys with senses of humor, women aren’t hung up on appearances like men are, women like confidence more than anything else. Bullshit. Women want attractive men with money. Now, I don’t fault women for this, any more than I fault a guy for being attracted to a hot chick. The problem is the aforementioned lie: women don’t care about looks. Bullshit they don't.

The sooner you figure this out, the sooner you can choose to participate in the game or go your own way. That choice is the answer to all your problems with women. By swallowing the red pill and accepting that the game is rigged, you have taken control of your potential romantic partnerships. I am not 6’4” with the body of a professional athlete and a trust fund. Therefore I don’t expect to pull chicks effortlessly the way Chad does. I’m not him and I’m not going to pretend to be him. By accepting that I can adjust my strategy accordingly, if I want to play at all. There is good advice to be found on TRP, it is okay to think critically about dating. However, just like women, just like my old pal Fred, sites like TRP and MGTOW are chock full of bullshit you have to wade through to get to the good stuff.

The question you have to ask yourself is “Is it worth it?” Is the 95% of bullshit I have to put up with from women worth the 5% I want?

I’m going to get myself into trouble again when I say to the younger guys, you probably should risk getting burned a little. While I would like to forget the majority of the bullshit I have had to deal with over the years dating women, there were some good experiences that I remember fondly. Just because your high school unicorn went to the prom with Chad that doesn’t mean you won’t find yourself in a heavy petty situation with two slutty theatre girls a few months later. The things men need to avoid is marriage, unplanned pregnancies, STDs. Avoid long term consequences for short term mistakes.

The benefit of MGTOW is truth, pure honest truth. Life isn’t fair. Dating isn’t fair. Marriage is decidedly unfair. With MGTOW you can accept that truth. What you do with that benefit is up to you.
