When is a slut not a slut? When he’s a dude. So says the (He)artist(e) formerly known as Roissy, in yet another post of his trying to prove that his brand of Pick-Up Assholery is fully proven by SCIENCE!
His evidence in this case? A recent study of speed dating that showed that (straight) women, in addition to being attracted to attractive men (duh!), also seem to be attracted to men with high “sociosexuality” ratings. “Sociosexuality,” for those not fully immersed in the SCIENCE!! of dating, is basically someone’s propensity for casual sex.
In other words, the study found that guys who do a lot of casual dating tended to do better at casual dating.
Heartiste/Roissy puts it this way:
Men who have high sociosexuality (HSS) are more attractive to women because the suite of characteristics associated with HSS suggest prior experience bedding women and possession of mating skills that attract women.
It’s akin to a form of preselection for men, minus the actual women he’s banging being physically present at his side to aid in the alpha judging process that all women, consciously or not, impose on their suitors.
In a very loose sense, high male sociosexuality is male sluttiness.
If you strip out the PUA nonsense about the “alpha judging process,” all this seems fairly self-evident, if not simply tautological. Guys who’ve been with a lot of women will probably do better with women in the future than guys with no experience who view women as strange alien creatures. (Note: In all this, we’re only talking about straight people; PUAs don’t seem aware that gay people exist, outside of their own fantasies of hot bi girl threesomes.)
It’s at this point that Heartiste/Roissy amps up the assholery:
Male sluttiness is not equivalent to female sluttiness. It is more difficult for a man to be slutty that it is for a woman owing to the discrepancy in worth between sperm and egg, so people justifiably perceive male sluts to have higher quality mate value, and higher quality mating skills, than female sluts for whom the act of sexual conquest is merely synonym for being easy.
In other words, it’s bad to be a female slut, but great to be a male slut:
[T]he study results confirm the validity of game when its conclusions find that male sociosexuality is a relatively powerful predictor of attractiveness to women, even to women looking for long-term relationships.
Not only can this SCIENCE!! of game help to get dudes laid – it can basically save the world from evil fat chicks.
It’s vital to readers to get this scientific information validating game out there, because there are a lot of doubters and haters who are blinded by what they won’t see. Sometimes, men need to know that there is an experimental foundation supporting all these seduction techniques and peculiarities of female behavior. It’s not necessary to know this stuff to start gaming chicks out in the field right now, but for men with a cynical bent or shy disposition, it helps to know that there are rules that govern human interaction. It may be the boost they need.
Turning former nerds into wily lotharios will help to put those uppity female sluts in their place:
[A] moment of candor. This blog is first and foremost a source of self-amusement, but it is also a true and real desire to teach and to see men succeed sexually and emotionally with women. Men who become better at attracting women increase their options in the mating market. Men with increased options cause women to behave better. Women behaving better redounds to the benefit of families, and to society.
And by “behave better”, I mean the whole panoply of awful modern female behavior: cheating, cock carouseling, divorcing on a whim, eat pray loving, straycationing, spinstering, attention whoring, voting and fattening up into repulsive dirigibles.
Yep, he did slyly insert “voting” into all that. Sneaky!
So slut it up, fellas! It’s the only way to put those evil lady sluts in their place. And, thereby, save the world from sex-having, vote-casting slatterns.
The bell curve for male and female intelligence has exactly the same median.
The male bell curve is larger though, which means that the highest achievable intelligence and the LOWEST achievable intelligence will probably be scored by men.
Even better: hey, Nephrite, guess my gender and IQ score.* 🙂
*I am assuming here you consider IQ to be an empirically valid measure of intelligence; I don’t. If you do not, feel free to substitute any measure of intelligence you feel to be empirically valid; if you don’t find any to be empirically valid, that might be the first intelligent thing you’ve said all night.
“So, if we put girls in pants, they’re going to be stronger than men as adults?”
Missing the point is kind of a sport for you, isn’t it?
Men’s current overall dominance of some dangerous and utterly too low-status work is actually anomalous, and vastly overstated by most people who make the argument that men dominate it (Because hello sex work).
Nobody digs ditches for fun. People have sex for fun.
@kirby: “Iwas gonna ask Nephrite earlier, but I’m wondering whether he is in fact another one of Elam’s incarnations… Sadly I couldn’t quite remember the name.”
I don’t think it’s Elam. Nephrite hasn’t called us “dipshit” or made violent threats. But the “We should acquite all rapists regardless of whether or not they’re guilty!” is one of Elam’s most infamous statements and I haven’t heard it elsewhere. So I’m pretty sure Nephrite is a member of the site
Quackers:
“I agree with some of her positions, her others are just stupid as hell and at the same level of paranoid misogyny of the MRM.”
She occasionally makes a valid point. Occasionally. However, as with other MRAs, those occasional valid points come up only rarely, after a flood of misogynistic rhetoric. Sometimes the misogynistic rhetoric is inserted haphazardly into an otherwise decent article, as W.F. Price is wont to do.
*I am assuming here you consider IQ to be an empirically valid measure of intelligence
You’re assuming incorrectly.
What’s that old saying? Something about being an ass?
Perhaps if the men stopped fighting, life would be better for everyone.
But I’ve actually been to Africa, and I saw an awful lot of men sitting around drinking beer while the women did all the work. Admittedly, it’s not entirely the men’s fault, as unemployment is quite high in most of the continent, but the women I saw seemed to always be working, be it at home or out of it.
And Nephrite opens another big can of worms with the sex work talk.
Man, this guy is just nailing each and every contentious topic with startling precision, like a sniper using bollocks for ammunition. (Thank you Tim Minchin)
Nephrite:
Please to be posting a video of you using the leg press and doing complex math equations….or else I’ll be forced to believe you aren’t a man 😀
Nephrite, let me explain this simply to you.
Stuff is influenced by both BIOLOGY and SOCIETY. (Oversimplifying massively of course.) Before we can consider whether men and women are BIOLOGICALLY different, we must consider whether they’re societally different. This has been observed to be fact and, in fact, the differences tend to lead to weaker women and stronger men. Therefore, while men and women no doubt have some differences in upper-body strength, these are not necessarily as large as initial observations would lead us to believe. Capiche?

Damn. My housemate made an argument that leaned this way a couple weeks ago, but I didn’t pursue it because it would have involved getting him to understand that his reasoning lead straight to women = inferior. I might have to show him this later…
There’s also this other assumption that people seem to make, that “inferior” means “we can dump shit on them and get away with it!” rather than “You can naturally do this, and I can naturally do that, so we’ll agree to at least be neutral to each other”. Even if all these differences are actually true as *averages*, it doesn’t excuse being total dicks to people who fall on the extreme end of the scale just because you’ve never seen anyone like them before. Nephrite seems to be incapable of saying, “Ya know, that woman firefighter might just be stronger than average” and skips right to “OMG GET THE VAGINA OUT OF THE FIREHOUSE SHE’LL KILL US ALL!”
Asshat: You have achieved stratospheric levels of stupidity and Missing the Fucking Point. I’m impressed, that takes some dedication.
Sex work is the single job MOST likely to lead to death. Just saying.
@ozyman
Are you claiming that olympic women’s hockey teams do not train as hard as men? That they aren’t trained to physical perfection? Or that playing with dolls as kids destroyed their upper body strength as adults?
Is this that Eoghan yahoo?

So stop being greedy and don’t do it.
@Nephrite,
How about stopping your trip down this dead end of yours and going back to my question I asked of you earlier? Unless you want to making it gut-wrenchingly obvious that you’re just in it for the trolls…
Do you even fucking care about men at all?
Hee hee! Do any of you want to tell him, our should I?
@hellkell:
Eoghan… Dammit, that was the name. cripes

I’d love to. Tell your peanut gallery to stop derailing, and I’ll gladly talk with you.
Go for it, Captain Bathrobe.
@bathrob
I know you’re male. Roissy is male too. It doesn’t make him any less a traitor.
@Scar
funny how they always cite the highest achieved intelligence to further their claims of superiority, but not the lowest eh?
denial is so smart!
@Crumb
MRA screeds can be summed up like this most of the time:
“@*&!*@&!CUNTSSLUTSHYPERGAMY**&##&^@!LYINGMISANDRISTFUCKS@&#^^#^&#&@**@!…….also the sky is sometimes blue and 2+2=4”
Hee, we’re derailing?
We haven’t had a troll this fun since No Marriage.
