Hey, horny “nice guys,” you know how you’re always saying nice things to girls and sometimes telling they’re pretty in hopes they decide to sleep with you? Or just gawking at them at the gym?
Turns out that this isn’t such a good thing. Not so much because, you know, staring at women like you’re a serial killer might just creep a lot of women out. But because all this attention might well turn these women into stuck-up you-know-whats, which is a major pain for the world’s horny guys.
In a post on Roosh’s Return of Kings blog with the lovely title “How Women Become Worthless,” some dude named Edward Thatch explains the deadly consequences of people being nice to pretty ladies.
These women, he writes,
start out as decent specimens, but somehow manage to find themselves on the red pill man’s pump-and-dump list. This is a bittersweet topic for me, because while I enjoy a random romp with girls who have managed to concentrate all of their worth between their legs, I’m also well aware of the many added benefits of girlfriending up a good one.
So how do these women become worthless bitches? Well, you see, there’s this thing called the Peter Principle, which suggests that people get promoted and promoted until they end up with a job that’s beyond their capabilities. (Never mind all those people out there who are actually a good fit for their jobs.)
Anyhoo, this happens to pretty ladies too!
A pretty girl posts a sexy pic on facebook and you click like.
You just promoted her.
The same girl goes to the gym, and a dozen guys stare at her like hungry wolves.
Promoted again. …
Everything that comes out of her pretty little mouth is super relevant and interesting to the guys who want to bang her.
Promoted again.
Her beta orbiters trip over themselves trying to please her just for the satisfaction of being near her.
Promotion!
The list goes on and on, but you get the idea. From the day she’s born until the day she slams into the wall in her mid-30s, she just keeps being promoted until she reaches her level of incompetence. When the day comes that she can’t live up to the position she’s trying to fill – most awesome, sexy and unique thing everrrrr – she becomes a worthless self-centered bore who ends up in my phone as “Blonde HB7 Tiny Boobs Wrist Tattoo.”
Who knew that life for women was nothing more than an endless parade of male flattery? Or that women feel empowered whenever creepy dudes blatantly ogle their bodies at the gym.
So some women end up thinking that they’re pretty. What’s the harm here? Well, you see, men suffer enormously when women think they’re even a teensy bit hotter than they “really” are. It’s much better for everyone – if by “everyone” you mean all the guys trying to sleep with them – if women hate themselves a little. Or a lot.
Unfortunately, Thatch laments, it’s men who are to blame for women thinking too highly of themselves.
We create these monsters by promoting otherwise good women far above their grade. If you’re doing this, I respectfully ask you to stop.
As it stands now, these poor overpromoted women end up hitting the proverbial wall when they hit the age of 30, or 25, or 15, or whatever, and suddenly become transformed from young hotties into old hags. And while this is, Thatch proclaims, “a hilarious version of downsizing that sends the old, fat or ugly ones to the feminist welfare line,” he also thinks this is not economically efficient.
Far better for men to handle the “sexual marketplace” in a more rational and efficient way, he concludes, “by knocking off the beta orbiting, white knighting, and supplication that keeps promoting these women to positions they cannot handle.”
Surprisingly, Thatch’s argument provokes some dissent amongst Roosh’s Neanderthal followers. Stuki, for example, points out that Facebook likes might not amount to a damn in this crazy world.
A problem with this diagnosis, is that a single pump and dump … by a perceived alpha or “hot guy”, counts for more than a million Facebook likes, as far as perception of being “promoted” goes. …
It’s not as if women don’t feel equally “promoted” by the guy trying to feel her up at the bar, just because he throws her some neg first, instead of a compliment. IOW, the solution to women being bitches, is not men becoming assholes. If being a whore had real, serious and immediate consequences, women would largely stop being whores. But as long as the only consequence is that she will “forced” to go out alone, and get her “revenge” on her “intolerant”, “sexist” and “Stepford Wife obsessed” ex, by being banged in a toilet stall by someone ostensibly (through beer goggles, if nothing else) handsomer and more “alpha” than he was, she’ll never get it. Whether Mr. Toilet Stall Banger negs her or compliments her first, doesn’t really matter.
Note that Stuki here apparently thinks he’s somehow not already an asshole.
VargisBitch takes issue, a little bit, with the term “worthless.”
They are not worthless but … western women reach a point of uselessness. They have value in the beginning but at that time, they dont use that value for anything serious other that getting pumped left and right, attention whoring etc, you know, the sex and the city dream..after many years of this they are just beyond rescue, their self insteem is inflated beyond any reasonable level…plus they are getting rather old. So yea, at that exact moment, they become wortless. But they still have no reason to panic, there are hordes of horny bluepill men, who didnt get sex during THEIR prime , to pick the sorry remains..
When you understand the dynamics behind this, you are a redpill man.
Most commenters seem to agree, though, with the broad outlines of Thatch’s, er, analysis. Madvillain complains that there are even a few “white knights” to be found even in the manly world of the manosphere.
While there are almost no white night panderers in the manosphere, when a commenter comes along with the user name like “”just a girl”, or “SunshineMary”, guys will breath in that pussy scent wafting from the female name on their computer monitor and congregate around her, demonstrating their alpha intelligence by explaining the ways of the world to the cute little lamb.
Hammer, meanwhile, fantasizes about putting fat ladies in camps.
You can’t just haul off all the worthless ones and put them in some adjacent zone to live in. Instead you have to step into every relationship with a girl knowing she’s going to lie at some point, that she’ll try to manipulate to gain the upperhand, that she will try to contribute very little if anything and that she will start acting difficult at some point along the way, and for what? I honestly don’t know how men have tolerated the crap women throw at them for so long. …
I never thought I’d say this but maybe a benevolent dictator would be good for a while. A red pill dictator, who would put all the fatties into one zone, we’ll call it the Fat Zone, another can be called the Fem Zone for feminists, all manner of zones so that they could live among their ilk. Want join the Athletic Zone where people are in reasonable good shape? Lose weight, stop eating. Want to join the Equal Zone where men and women are treated equal where men do not give most of the social, economic and legal benefits to women? Sign a contract stating such explicitly. Want to join the Man Zone where the men make the rules and rule the roost? Sign on the dotted line gals. Everyone can get what they truly want. Maybe it won’t be perfect but I sure as hell would prefer it.
Turbo the Drycleaner, who apparently is too manly to bother with the shift key, doesn’t think that technology is the issue here.
beta males are no new invention and have existed, in large numbers, since time began. they are not going away. just because online dating and facebook have immortalized their hamfisted attempts at getting poosy dosnt mean it didnt happen before. girls would get all sorts of looks, gifts, and marrage proposals way back when that fed their egos. you could say that because they are now online, a woman can have constant access to validation but thats not a whole lot diffrent than living in a rural area, as many used to, and seeing the same orbiters every day.
Days of Broken Arrows disagrees:
White knighting was less a problem before the Internet age. You could only stare at a woman so long and most Betas didn’t just walk up to strange women and compliment them.
But nowadays, Facebook and Instagram are major ego-stroking devices for women. Someone needs to do a post called “NEVER like a woman’s Facebook photo.” The massive amount of orbiters on FB makes me ill.
One day in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus for a white man, and helped to usher in a civil rights revolution. Could Days of Broken Arrows’ brave refusal to “like” women’s Facebook pictures usher in a similar revolution, this time for men who are so terribly bruised and oppressed by women with self-esteem?
Hugs to you and kitty, Kiwi Girl.
@kiwi girl
That sucks, I hope it turns out to not be anything serious. Hugs if you need them.
Without bureaucracy, the internet wouldn’t exist. Neither would schools, hospitals, the military, businesses, governments… none of it would exist without bureaucracy.
I get really tired of people like this troll, who don’t actually think through what these things mean. It’s like these supposedly anti-government wingnuts, what do they think government is? Did you flip on a lightswitch today? Did the building burn down? No? That’s government in action, through building codes which are… wait for it… bureaucracy! Did you drive somewhere? Did your car sink into a road that wasn’t build strong enough to support the weight of the vehicle? No? GOVERNMENT & BUREAUCRACY!
I get that people use that word as a shorthand for overly complicated organizational structures, but it’s inaccurate and it leads to stupid thinking like this guy’s.
@ Joanna
Yep, me too. Compliments that come with an obvious motivation get a shrug, whereas the compliment that stuck in my mind most from the last few years was when an old woman stopped me in the street and said “wow, you have great legs!”. I am fairly sure that she was not hitting on me.
Adventures in cluelessness is sad. How far up your ass does your head have to be to claim that d00dz bestow self esteem on women by creeping them out at every opportunity?
Doodz, that isn’t where self esteem comes from. MRAs cluelessness on how self esteem is created explains a great deal about MRAs.
“Well, also, they assume because they only see body parts when they look at us, that we too only think of ourselves as body parts.”
Yes! Like when a girl wheres a short dress guys are like “She’s just showing off her legs like a big slut.”, whereas girls are like, “That is the cutest dress! You are so in fashion!” or something to that end.
I expect that “Return of the Kings” has great resonance for Roosh (aka Daryush Valizadeh) because of his Iranian heritage. The Shah made a very big deal about referencing the Persian dynasty to prop up his weak claim to the Iranian throne, and even held his coronation at Persepolis, the ancient palace of Daryush the Great. This particular Daryush no doubt fancies himself an heir to the royal tradition of Shah-n-Shahs (Kings of Kings). It know it sounds far-fetched but trust me — that is exactly where he is coming from. His parents immigrated to the US after the Revolution, and I am sure that like most Iranian immigrants at the time they were running for their lives.
Cassandra, that reminds me – not that it was a compliment, just conversation – of a woman I got stuck talking to in Edinburgh years ago. She was quite convinced I came from the Black Isle because I had black hair and pale skin and pronounced McIver properly. How the heck she missed my Australian accent I don’t know (and I could hardly understand hers – it was mostly a nod-and-say-Mmm conversation) but I had to point out that the hair was bottle-black and I’d only ever heard the name pronounced “McEever” so it didn’t mean anything. 😛
@kiwi girl, just adding to the hugs, cat treats, chin/ear skritches, and whatever keeps kitty happy. I hope you get good news soon.
I find the MRA conviction that all women constantly seethe with jealousy towards other women hilarious. Firstly, how is that supposed to work for queer women? Secondly, dudes, I LIKE other women, and so do most of us. There was one troll recently who was all, what would happen if a woman came to work in your office looking really pretty in a pretty dress and I was all, um, ask her where she got it?
It’s times like this I wonder if maybe we should just give them what they want. Let them have their man zone, just for MRAs, tell them no woman is allowed in it ever and that they will never have to deal with women again. Let them make their own rules, do what they want, until they realize they can’t leave (hence the never dealing with women again thing). Any bets on how fast that society would deteorate?
It’s projection, Cassandra. Again. When these guys talk about Alphas, I always get the feeling they’d cannabilize them so they can obtain their powers — if they thought they could get away with it.
CassandraSays–the problem is it isn’t just MRAs. The “women hate other women” thing is so pernicious my sister (who ID’s as a feminist) posted a meme saying “Don’t try to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other.” Yeah… I don’t know what to say about that.
And it just keeps women from finding companionship and strength in each other and encourages them to build their lives around men.
@Bagelsan
“Oh I know what the problem with MRAs is! They didn’t realize that “Fuck, Marry, Kill” was a choice and not a timeline…”
this is…a very accurate insight into the mra mindset, and also terrifying…
@Kiwi girl, all the hugs and the kitty treats in the universe for you and your cat. im hoping things turn out fine, and that you aren’t too badly stressed.
@La Strega, um did i miss something? what are you on about?
dire sloth – La Strega is posting in response to my comment near the start of the thread. The whole “return of kings” line pissed me off enormously – MRAs or PUAs associating themselves with even the worst of monarchs is an insult, let alone with the ones who, for instance, worked damned hard in a job they hated but could not leave. (PS thanks for that background, La Strega!)
It’s always funny to watch Nice Guys rant about “assholes”, by which they mean any man more attractive or with a more popular than themselves. So I guess they assume that women feel the same way about pretty women with great personalities?
Except no, because most of us are not that emotionally stunted.
Also, a lot of them seem to feel rage towards beautiful women because of their “power” over men, so I guess if you never quite grasped the whole difference between self and others thing you might assume that everyone feels the same?
@kitteh, ooh i see. sorry, im trying to post more but these threads kinda move too fast for me sometimes.
also whats with this hating on using all lower caps you guys >:L (:P)
::smacks dire sloth with a Shift key::
;;puts kittehs shift key in the drawer with the others;;
also; has anyone else noticed the way mras and other shitlordy types tend to; overuse that curious typographic icon known as; the semicolon? it couldnt all be; sockpuppets of; steele, could it? there is some sort of insight into the mentality of mras to be seen here, but i cannot put my finger on it. just pretentious fax-intellictualism?
Just that it makes it harder to read and understand. If you don’t care about that then eschew the shift key.
I noticed, I just figured their grammar sucks. If they’re trying to appear pretentious, they’re aiming too low.
They seem to think that the semicolon is to sentence structure as vanilla is to baking. Use it in everything! Use it liberally! Who doesn’t love vanilla semicolons?
Cassandra – I bet their heads would implode if someone told them there are women who would pass up the opportunity to be conventionally pretty/beautiful/whatever if it was offered. From my pov it wouldn’t bring any benefits at all, and a lot of really nasty potential downsides.
Y’all, don’t make me call the Society of the Protection of Semicolons (motto: “Semicolons are dangerous tools and should only be wielded by professionals”) on your asses.
@kitteh
As funny as that is to imagine, they’d probably either go on a tirade on how women don’t know what they want or declare a woman not wanting male attention MISANDRY.
