Some random dude on the internet has thoughts about sex and civilization so we have to listen to him.
In a weird manifesto titled “the Fuck Rate is about to Implode,” someone calling himself “bright eyes” explains that the health of our civilization depends on whether or not average guys can score themselves some hottt pussy.
Our civilization is held together by a pact: mid men get pussy, everyone else gets core infrastructure.
This pact harnesses the single greatest source of psychic energy known to man: men’s desire to secure the partnership, youthful attention, and children of attractive women.
And the hotter the women are, the more civilization we get!
This pact has an intensive margin; the sweeter the deal you make for the mid men, the more civilization you can squeeze out of them. It’s pretty easy to e.g. do 80 hour weeks as a trucker if you have a thin, bubbly, hygienic, erstwhile virgin wife at home who’s given you three blonde kids and is anxious about not giving you good enough blowjobs
But if your wife is possibly a little bit plump, or likes to have sex that’s good for her too, ALL BETS ARE OFF. “Mid men” can’t be expected to build much civilization if their wives are
30lbs overweight, angry, a slob, run through, barren, and expect[ing] you to “centre female pleasure” during sex… .
It turns out that the only way to nudge typical women into losing weight, cleaning up, and centering their men’s pleasure during sex is to make them feel guilty.
[Y]ou’re going to need to build a social apparatus — religion, behavioral mores, unnatural standards — to shame women into it. And that shaming will inevitably make real, normal women unhappy. But in exchange you get more civilization.
Now, alas, the whole system is driven by shaming “mid men” like the aforementioned truckers into accepting less-than-perfect wives in exchange for 80-hour stretches on the road. Only shame can convince the trucker to settle for “the ugly wife” while he “work[s] as hard as he would if he had the hot wife … .” And shaming men is now apparently starting to backfire.
The long-run, inescapable equilibrium is one wherein truckers with ugly wives will not work as hard, and truckers with no wives may not work at all.
And somehow the incel is the symbol of all this, especially now that the average incel has morphed from an ugly loser into a “well-educated 8/10 [man] advocating partly on behalf of their social inferiors and partly out of an aristocrat’s taste for social arson.”
Yeah, I’m guessing the author of this manifesto hasn’t spent much time observing incels in the wild because, uh, this is just flat-out delusional. I mean, the rest of the manifesto is delusional as well, but this is delusional squared.
Anyhoo, our manifesto writer is convinced that things are just going to get worse and worse on the pussy front, and that eventually “mid men” will be so disgusted by the less-than-perfect women they’re expected to have sex with that they’ll just stop having sex with women altogether. And then the ladies will be SO MAD.
the music will stop and tens of millions of mid women will realize that they’re priced out of the “eligible” husband market altogether. Female social circles will be rent into sexual haves and sexual have-nots. …
The fuck rate will plummet, and there will be hell to pay.
And soon we’ll be overrun not with Karens but with Katies.
Imagine Katie, a 55 year old mid woman, perpetually on a double dose of lexapro and atavan, leaving her low-wage mid-management desk job a few hours early in order to make a birthday party held for her friend’s mini poodle. Now multiply this by 30 million, each one spewing misery and social havoc into the world for decades on end.
Our manifesto writer estimates we’ll “get our first cohort of Katies in five years or so.”
And then, hoo boy! We’re talking “a major civilizational unraveling on our hands”
Our manifesto writer than tries his hand at metaphor again:
Much of the things we assumed were conjured up by the magic of modernity — reliable core infrastructure, cheap food/energy/shipping, functional business apparatus — were in fact gifts bestowed upon us by a hungry god. We stopped sacrificing delicate virgins to him, and tried to offer angry fat hags in their stead. He’s wised to the ruse.
Apparently the “hungry god” is somehow the collective representation of … truckers?
Anyway, after some more blathering from the hungry thirsty manifesto writer he makes a point of assuring us that he’s still pulling the primo pussy.
I don’t really have a dog in this fight, as rich girls never really stopped being thin, cute, virgin, and nice. If I really needed to pair up with a mid girl I’d use my SMV [Sexual Market Value] to find one of the good ones.
In a slightly confusing interlude, our manifesto writer kind of suggests without quite explicitly asking that women reading his essay should contact him because they’re probably cuter than average.
That said, our manifesto writer’s “prognosis” for the future is that we’re not facing
an extinction event, but it will put serious pressure on civilizational infrastructure and produce a metric fuckton of female suffering. Hedge against the former by going long consumer goods, short industrials, and befriending a few handy mid men with pathologically high morale. Hedge against the latter by limiting social exposure to the kill zone — that is, concentrators of mid middle-aged women like academia, media, normie social media, politics, and corporate bureaucracy — sooner than later.
I’m sure these women will be utterly devastated that our manifesto writer won’t be having sex and babies with them.

Three blonde kids huh? I see what you did there…
So things will soon be looking up for the mini poodle market then! And for dog party food. I don’t know anyone called Katie right now, but will keep a lookout and try to wangle an invite.
The writer’s belief that these parties will be “spewing misery and social havoc into the world for decades on end” seems a bit overstated though……. we do know for sure that at least there won’t be any leftover crumbs on the floor.
What exactly does everyone else get from this though? It wasn’t exactly happy fun times for the 60-70% who were unwillingly sacrificed on the altar of the “hungry god”. Even well-off white women were often dissatisfied with life despite being told that they had everything they should want. Not because they needed more, but something different. I don’t know what this one thinks the new version of this would be like, especially under the current economy, but it’s not like the people who are aware they would fare badly under that system would take things lying down.
I suspect that the answer would be that they get “more civilization”. Whatever that’s supposed to mean.
So, assuming I am the one with the power to shame large numbers of people into doing things, and I want to keep civilization as well-raveled as possible, why would I shame women into marrying truckers to get truckers to do their bit upholding civilization. Seems like it would be much easier to shame men and women directly into being civilization upholders, and let them work out their sexual relationships for themselves.
Waaaiiit a minute… I think I get it now. He’s imagining the Hot Wife / Shlubby Husband TV sitcom dynamic which was fairly popular in the 1980s and 1990s, and has existed at least occasionally on TV shows for the entire history of TV. And he’s also mistaking it for an ideal, or even a former reality, rather than the fantasy they were intended to be, similar to how some incels mistake romcoms for reality. I was thinking more “Leave it to Beaver” initially, but shows like that were more unrealistic ideals than fantasies. Also no truck drivers, unless they were side characters.
Um, is he aware that all of these things are kinks and that a nonzero number of men are into these kinks and will seek out these women? I’d say that’s a slight plot hole for him.
That’s you, right, bright eyes? Although you’re no incel, you have “an aristocrat’s taste for social arson.” You’re mad at feminists for committing “social arson” because that should be the prerogative of the “aristocrat,” i.e., you. Boo-hoo.
Hygenic, huh?
This from guys who seriously wonder if it’s gay to wipe their asses?
You rang?
Ah yes. Such a small price to pay when you’re not the one paying it. Because civilization famously only benefits women. Men have nothing to gain from it in any way shape or form.
Give me a break. And as .45 pointed out, the three blonde children remark showed his hand.
Apparently it’s “civilised” to de-humanise people, who knew.
Why does he suppose someone should be prepared to ‘take one for the team’ when it’s rather explicit that they’re not actually on the team, but merely an accessory bit of equipment?
These guys just keep reminding me that remaining single is a good choice on my part.
Hang on a sec.
if “civilization” is something extracted from “mid men,” then wouldn’t it be a lot more efficient to industrialize the extraction process? Just start shoveling truckloads of mid men into the extractor, and boom! More civilization!
Now Kaie can go the the mini-poodle birthday party without having to listen to “aristocratic arsonists.”
…I wonder what we can extract from “aristocratic” men? I say we chuck ‘em into the extractor and find out…
*puts on Old Road Safety Officer hat* Apart from all of the things everyone else has said, if you as a “civilisation” are expecting lorry drivers to drive for 80 hours a week you already have problems. There are good reasons for tacographs recording how long drivers drive for, ensuring they take proper breaks etc., because it just isn’t safe driving for 80 hours a week. Which is why it’s illegal in the EU and the UK.*takkes off Old Road Safety Officer hat*
Plus good sex involves mutual pleasure, whatever that means for the participants, so get you sparkly eyes out of other peoples sex lives.
@ jazzlet
I have particular reason to love our tachograph laws.
In my roadie days I did the V Festival. That’s over two sites; one in the north and one in the south. The acts swap over.
I was on the night crew. So our job was to get all the gear off the truck coming down from the north and have it all set up for the day crew in the morning.
But the driver ran out of hours about a mile from the site and had to pull over.
So we just spent the night drinking beer and chatting.
In the morning the day crew arrived to an empty stage and us just pointing to the truck up the road.
Which, with perfect timing, then started up again.
“the three blonde children remark showed his hand”
It is interesting that he picked the exact number of kids required of a standard conservative pundit.
If I’m understanding him correctly, we should be miserable for the sake of civilization otherwise we’ll be miserable?
Not relevant, but anyway…
They’re prepping for the big funeral tomorrow; including putting out the red carpet at No 10 for all the dignitaries.
But I love this photo. It’s just so obvious what Larry is thinking.

Long ago, WHTM community had a long-running meme about “our feminist friend Katie” after a troll brought it up out of nowhere.
Katie sounds cool as shit. How do I get an invite to the dog birthday party?
My dog once got invited to the opening of some animal themed art exhibition.
When I asked if I could come too, on the not unreasonable ground she wouldn’t be able to get there on her own, the curator unironically said “We’ll put you down as Sassy’s plus one” and walked off.
They didn’t even ask for my name.
