Impression not delusion, fill in the blanks for us the Londonist gal within England.

I’ve never claimed men were angels, but I will say women overall compared to men are devils in disguise.

What other angles or considerations would you like us to focus on? I’m all ears patiently waiting. :sunglasses:

Understanding sexual markets, female hypergamy, erotic capital, sexual capital, rent seeking relationships, transactional love, relationship commodification, evolutionary biology, sexual economic utility, and the financial economic manipulation or exploitation of men by women.

“Some men see a beautiful woman and comment on their faces, hips, hair, breasts, asses, or general overall physical figure. Instead when I see a woman I wonder how much she is going to cost me with that price tag hanging over her head and how much money it’s going to take for me to rent, financially exchange, financially negotiate, or purchase her affections.”

There are deep problems between men and women, no question. You’ve wanted things from women for a long time. They’ve wanted things from you. You’ve each wanted things WITH each other, also. It’s not easy. As a man seeking what he wants, and then generally not getting it, whatever it is, and then also getting things you do not want from women, you’ve ‘learned’ that women are the problem. Confirmation bias and the fact that you experience your own frustration etc. and not theirs means you draw the conclusion that they are the problem. Women do something similar and this affects how they relate to you. Both sides can run on the habit, which goes way down in the unconscious, that says the other side is the problem.

How’s that working for you?

Yes, I have a confirmation bias because I’m a man not some woman with a split between her legs. :laughing:

How’s it working for me? Very well actually, I can say today that I have come to understanding women and female nature very well, so much so that I know more about them than they know about themselves.

It’s not just sexual intercourse and my longing desire of it as a man with women I’m interested in, :sunglasses:I purely find the psychological experiences and mental nature of women to be utterly fascinating particularly the less spoken about darker, exploiting, or manipulative aspects of women.

There’s no better way of defeating, subduing, and conquering an adversary than understanding all their mental tricks, facades,pretenses, entrapments, strengths, or weaknesses. It makes dominating them all the more easy, fun, pleasurable, and enjoyable. :evilfun:

Even so, not All are about that life/the normal expectations of gender-specific behaviour and actions… I don’t want to add to the mix… there are already enough players in it, so I seek another playing field, with less players, which I am more comfortable and happier in.

Other angles or considerations? apart from money and funding a lifestyle… compatibility, commonalities, shared values, and a real mutual attraction for each other… as men seem to think they can buy our affections and time, as opposed to deserving it, but, in turn… do I deserve he.

Men beg to be used… for their money, for sex, for whatever else they seek, but some are simply not that accommodating, and cannot fake it/love till they make it.

Lololol… I earn that myself in my day job, but if a guy wants to pay a female’s way, then that’s his choice, no? Then they can make babies, and his earnings will go to bringing up their family.

And they lived happily ever after. :smiley:

Ho-lee-shit, is that wynona’s big brown beaver? that looks like something from a boris karloff film.

Look man, if you insist on posting pics of the beaver, make sure it’s one from the 90s, at the earliest.

It simple, sex is worth money and now that God is out of the picture this power takes a more prominent place in womens lives. God was designed to keep this power in check

Maybe you should not force the mods to go edit your posts, thats a bad precedent to start.

[dan says no!]

:laughing:

Males want sex.
Females want relationships.

The “love and romance” is the concession, on both sides, to trade to get what both want. In other words, males will invest in relationships, not because they want to, and females will release sexual temptation, not because they want to, to get what they want from each-other. “Romance” is the concession. A male starts acting like a “beta, cuck, whipped” cowtowing to a woman. A female starts acting like a slut and harlot, appealing to a man. Love and Romance are terms for the human mating-process, which is biological and occurs throughout mammals and nature.

What? Who says he cuck-harlot thing is necessary? Thats a sad form of idealism and certainly not true to experience for me.

Romance in the sense Prom described it with NBK is hyperbolic but true. The will to go to the limits of egoic will shared in lust is true love and worth a few sacrifices. If babies come out of it all the more the better but life has to at some point mean something even beyond procreation. Otherwise why procreate in general?

[edit, no more pornz]

Females want financial transactional relationships as they’re creatures guided by monetary incentives which they in turn call ‘love’ or 'romance ', fixed that for you. :wink:

The female mental sense of love is not the same as a man’s, don’t fall for that camouflaged trap for even a single moment. You’ll regret it the moment you do.

Only noble-minded people can see beyond themselves. And it’s rare for a noble male and female to mate. Usually it’s noble with ignoble, since ignoble is common and plentiful. A nobleman or nobleman leads his/her ignoble partner and mate. I also agree that ‘proper’ forms of love and romance, come from the noble-minded, not from the commonplace. As Zero points-out, “love and romance”, to the common, is something disgraceful, uninspiring, base, like prostitution, reducing mating to a financial transaction. The difference, though, is that Zero will claim that any “noble” approach is mere romantic idealism, significant of nothing else than vanity. He has a point. There’s no denying biology. And, depending on how cynical/skeptical/nihilistic you want to be, you can always see fault in the mating-process, or the truth through the lies of seduction.

To me, personally, that doesn’t make anything meaningless or purposeless. It’s still necessary. And the artistic expressions, the unique forms of seduction, are important, purposeful, and inspirational.

A female’s concept of love is prostitution, that’s the entire point of this thread. She doesn’t love the man for his individual character or what he values, she only loves or values a man in what he can give to her.

A female’s love or value for a man is pure economic utility and nothing else. A woman is mentally incapable in valuing a man any other way for the most part. There are minor exceptions of course but they’re miniscule compared to the social norm.

Most men want to believe a woman will love them for who they are but that is fantasy and fiction to the actual sexual selection process on the part of women. In reality you’re just a material provider and nothing else dumped within a second’s thought for another if they feel you can no longer provide. Women are purely dumb fucking primitive creatures beyond all that lipstick, designer clothes, perfume, and mascara.

It’s more than economic; it’s about security too. A woman needs to ‘trust’ the man, which secures the relationship. Just because a man is rich, doesn’t mean women trust them. Prostitution is not relationship. Most women want relationships, which is security and trust, “a man women can depend on”. A woman wants to retain her social class, caste, and standing. If a woman is middle or upper class, she will not date downward. You can call her shallow and ‘financial’, but the security factor, is more significant. It’s about protection, order, dependency, and maintaining hedonistic comforts.

Women are pragmatic, and want to climb upward the social ladders. Men are also shallow, or more-so, wanting sex and only sex, willing to dump, demean, and insult women, after getting it. So it goes both ways.
