What do women want? Freud never found a definitive answer to his famous question, but the blogger who calls himself Delusion Damage thinks he’s got it figured out: women want men who can kill people with their bare hands.
DD is a sort of compound MRA-PUA who argues for “Men’s Liberation Through ‘Game,’” as he put it in a Spearhead post some months ago. Apparently, if dudes learn how to get the hot babes to give them strings-free sexy times, through the magic of “game,” this will help to “reduce the unilateral enslavement of men through marriage.”
And what attracts the ladies more than the ability to kill? Not much, apparently. If you’ve got that magic killing touch, everyone around you will sense your manly power:
You are a man. A man is a survivor, a hunter, a protector of loved ones. The essence of manliness is controlled power. … That is what women love and what other men respect. Women, most of them anyway, are unable to use force and must rely on men where force is required. … If you lack the ability to kill other people with your bare hands, you will be perceived as if something is missing from your manliness. …
If you can kill, the ladies will pick up on this instantly:
[H]aving the ability substantially raises the value she instinctively perceives you to have. Which, as we know, leads to all manner of good things.
I believe he’s referring to blowjobs.
Oh, and other dudes will be impressed, too:
The respect of other men is also greatly influenced by your killing ability. Up until graduation from high school, the male social hierarchy has a great deal to do with “who can beat up whom”, and although the hierarchy among adult men is more dependent on social and professional status signals, men never stop instinctively evaluating you by what they perceive your killing ability to be, and respecting or disrespecting you accordingly.
And this will set you apart from all the wimpy emo hipsters of the world, who couldn’t even fight a girl:
If there is a “defining” degree of killing ability that makes you “manly”, it is defined by comparison with the female of the species. …
In these dismal times, men who fall short of this line are not terribly rare. Many of the emaciated hipsters and cubicle-dwellers of our generation would have trouble against a Juanita from a rougher neighborhood. These men, due to their lack of killing ability, are seen as unmanly by both men and women.
Meanwhile, your ability to kill will make others sit up and take notice:
The ability to kill makes your feelings relevant. If you lose your temper, someone dies.
This of course implies good things about you – the fact that you aren’t in jail right now means that you are a man in control of his emotions. A man who never loses his temper. Everyone around you subconsciously understands this and respects you for it. It lets people know they can trust you.
Yeah, nothing screams “trustworthy” more than a guy going on and on about how he could kill you with his bare hands.
Also, the ability to kill can help to prevent the ladies from blabbing endlessly about their stupid lady crap to you:
A woman who knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that she will have less than three seconds to live from the second she makes you lose your temper is not going to set out to intentionally poke and prod you past your breaking point.
Aw, yeah, it’s good to be a potential bare-hands killer:
[Y]ou will be afforded a completely unprecedented kind of respect. …
When you are The Man, everyone around takes note. It is a form of celebrity. Women gravitate to you, pulled by the invisible streams of attention, respect and deference which we all subconsciously sense in any social situation.
Given the sort of adoring attention DD must get from the ladies, it’s sort of amazing that he finds time to even keep up a blog at all.
It’s just like when I discovered that feminist were behind the NBA and NFL Lock outs as part of their plan to replace Football Sunday with dancing with the stars…
That was….awesome.
Well maybe not, you are too obvious!
Will Smith is awesome! But will he be able to truly capture the essence of your genius?
I think someone like Samuel L. Jackson would be better suited for that role. I’m sure his voice would be even better to enlighten the world with your wisdom ♥! It just has this wisdom and ominousness to it!
Dude watched Roadhouse one too many times.
One day the world will see my genius…and when they make a movie about me, I want to be Will Smith to play my Role.
Definitely Shatner.
Still, this thread is at least a bit more entertaining then the usual fanfare…
Okay back to maturity town..
The guys who place so much emphasis on violence as the defining tool of “True Manhood” are probably nursing some pretty severe high school bully issues. They probably think that they don’t deserve to be loved because they didn’t fight back enough.
“A woman who knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that she will have less than three seconds to live from the second she makes you lose your temper is not going to set out to intentionally poke and prod you past your breaking point.”
…Wow. I’m pretty sure most women wouldn’t want to be with a person who would “have less than three seconds to live” just by making the guy lose his temper because they “poked and prodded” just a bit too much. That’s called, uh, you know, ABUSE. Holy shit.
I just read this on the site:
“…the man provides the woman with food and shelter which she is unable to acquire on her own…”
Women can’t provide themselves with food and shelter? Really? Even though there were and are women who plant, tend to and harvest food? Hell, there were are are women who hunt and make shelter. We live in something called a “society,” in which we all work together to provide for each other. And it seems like the most successful and peaceful societies are ones in which men and women share power, which is actually what is often seen in matrilineal (but not patriarchal) societies.
“It was understood in what’s called ‘the spirit of the law’ that the wife was entitled to access to the husband’s income and whatever material wealth came thereof, and that the husband was entitled to access to his wife’s reproductive system and whatever offspring came thereof.”
“Access” to his wife’s reproductive system? Like it’s some kind of computer terminal? Sounds creepy as fuck.
When a dog gets mad, this happens:
1. Body language showing annoyance (low tail, tense body posture, wrinkled forehead)
2. Growling, hackles up, teeth baring
3. Snapping
4. Actual attacking
So yeah, dogs’ social communication skills are several levels more sophisticated than this guy’s.
I’m thinking that that’s his very definition of what constitutes an emergency, a life-threatening situation for which hand to hand combat is the only viable route for resolution. I’d hate to have him by my side if, say, I went into cardiac arrest.
I don’t think it would occur to him that she was saving lives and not just feeding them sammiches, changing their bedpans, and performing perfunctory blowjobs, as she ought.
After reading his first couple of paragraphs, I just briefly skimmed the rest of his article, as the astounding ignorance he displayed in those first paragraphs made it clear that he was just engaging in peacockery with the audience who had raised him on their “we hunted the woolly mammoth for you!” stories. The same goes for his “Learn to Kill People with Your Bare Hands” drivel.
Yes, he is one of the more offensive ones, but I think he has a ways to go yet before he can compete with the likes of, say, Peter Andrew Nolan or David K Meller.
Steph: I have to say, men who own katanas (or at least this one) do, “ok”, but there are men who get more action than I do.
Which, on other fronts, is probably also contrary to his thesis, as I risk sharing too much information.
I’d like to take a moment and congratulate luke123 for presenting us with a theory that’s actually not half bad. Well done, sir.
*Polite clapping*
1) I live in Washington Heights, NYC, a bona fide “rougher neighborhood”. The most aggressive thing I’ve seen happen in the time I’ve been here is the old men outside the bodega slapping down dominoes extra hard.
2) That said, I don’t doubt that there are “Juanitas” in this neighborhood who could fucking end you if you rubbed them the wrong way. Referring to them as “Juanitas” is probably a good start.
3) I always think it’s funny seeing the difference in attitude between these armchair warriors and people who may have, y’know, actually, at some point in their lives, experienced some violence.
Yeah, nothing makes me feel safe enough to invite a strange guy over for sex than knowing I’d have less than three seconds to live if I pissed him off. Did DD stop to review what he wrote before he posted it? Or was he too busy typing one-handed?
OOH! OOOH! OOH! I JUST HAD A BRILLIANT IDEA!
If I can kill with MY bare hands, does that mean I can date whatever guys I want (that want to date me, of course), even if DD declares them wimps?
“A woman who knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that she will have less than three seconds to live from the second she makes you lose your temper is not going to set out to intentionally poke and prod you past your breaking point.”
Does this scream “domestic abuser” to anyone else? Like, your partner should FEAR you’re going to go apeshit and beat them for no other reason that you can?
If I knew a guy that could be easily prodded into murdering other people, I’d probably either call the cops or poison him in self-defense.
Seraph: I’ve moved to Jersey City… Ommengang is celebrating craft beers weeks, shall we get together?

I see no flaws in his plan. Certainly if I were dating a strong man with hair-trigger temper and issues with women, I’d expect my friends to have no questions about this at all. Certainly when Studcakes Berserker finally kills me (I am quite the nag!) he’ll have the presence of mind to cover his tracks and our neighbors and friends will defend him to the investigating detective. And it goes without saying that someone who can come up with such a brilliant philosophy and can display upwards of three whole seconds of ‘controlled power’ in stressful situations will do splendidly in any courtroom in the land.
Well, dammit, here’s the link with no HTML fanciness:

He’s got a point though. Women want to feel safe and protected, and it’s been shown time and time again that women respond to displays of aggression and dominance with open legs and gushing vaginas. I’ve noticed this on several occassions, particularly with tall guys at parties and clubs. I always wince in pain when I watch some 6’3+ stud walk up to someone’s girl and start groping her, and it’s clear that the weak beta manlet can’t do anything to stop it. It’s particularly bad when it’s clear that the girl fucking loves it (which is most of the time) and no doubt ends up downing his alpha seed by the end of the night.
You guys can claim not working out, not learning how to fight isn’t important, but when the above scenario happens what are you going to do to prevent an alpha from stealing your girl? Try to put him to sleep with feminist rhetoric? Good luck with that.

cool story bro

You, my friend, have never heard of a little thing called “strategy.”
It’s easy as pie: grope him back. Either he’s not into it, in which case he leaves or becomes violent, in both cases losing the fight (no, a woman will not leave with someone who physically assaulted her date), or he is into it, in which case you keep it up and see where the evening takes the three of you.
Arks, can you troll less effectively? I have a bet going with Flib on whether or not you are in fact at rock bottom for trolling effectiveness.
gushing vaginas
Might want to let a doctor look at that.
Arks, I cannot foresee any scenario wherein my girlfriend of ten years would decide to leave me for a person that just started groping her in a bar, if she were to do so I would not want to do anything to prevent her from leaving. If she were willing to treat me so disrespectfully I would not want to be in a relationship with her. The ‘alpha’ would not be stealing my girlfriend from me, but my girlfriend would be dumping me for a person she just met, and that would be sad for me but not a situation in which violence would be helpful.
If the only thing keeping your significant other form leaving you is the threat of violence being perpetrated against their future partners then they do not actually want to be in the relationship with you. Why would you want to be in a relationship with someone that does not want to be in one with you?
