Slate is really scrapping the bottom of the spinster barrel with this one...

Quote:Quote:

On one hand, I am the most self-confident I have ever been. On the other hand, the tangle of depression, anxiety, OCD, and borderline personality disorder in my head came fairly close to talking me into a swan dive off of a fifth-floor Paris balcony last week.

Her dating history:

Quote:Quote:

My dating history is checkered, to say the least. It's mostly a trail of intense but short-lived relationships, with a few regrettable one-night stands sprinkled here and there. A boy I met in grad school lasted a year, but we were too hot-tempered to coexist in the same air. A couple of unhappy years with someone back home who loved me when I did not love him. A good eight years were wasted on someone I dated briefly and became obsessed with once he ended it.

tldr: "I get pumped and dumped a lot."

Quote:Quote:

She's thoughtful and shy, eats regular meals and goes out with her friends, reads books and likes making things. Someone might be interested in dating her. But the mentally ill side of me, like the springy snakes you stuff inside a joke can of nuts, is going to burst forth with a vengeance at some point, and she is no joke. She is hateful and self-pitying, withdrawn, listless, angry.

Sounds like a normal American woman.

Slut says she belongs in Victorian age... I've read it all!

Quote:Quote:

So here I am, ready-ish to date. I feel time running out for a family, adding a charming dimension of desperation.

She's 36 years old and still thinks she has time to have a family.

This seems to be her:

I can't trust a woman whom wont show me her eyes.

Seemingly not too horrendous looking, for 36. How the fuck do you not parlay that into a marriage, or even a serious (healthy) relationship, in 18 years time? Nature has blessed her with many more years of attractiveness than most women get, which she obviously completely squandered, and now has the nerve to present herself as a grade A cut for the dating market. I felt a little nauseated reading her cutesy description of her neurotic brain. Can practically hear her thinking "I have SO much baggage, what real man out there thinks they're ready to handle this? Teehee."

Shudder to think what lucky bachelor will get to settle down with this harridan.

Ew.

Nose ring is the quickest slut tell I know of. Ding ding ding!

She says she's looking for a serious relationship, but look at the evidence she presents:
- repeatedly pumped and dumped
- rejected a beta after stringing him along for a couple of years
- pushed away a guy who was committed to her and then ensured he would never come back

This woman can barely take care of herself, and she longs for a husband and children?

Dude, I was swiping through Tinder the other day and saw a BBW(yes she even referred to herself as a "BBW") with a couple kids, late 30s who claims to be picky and to not be surprised if she doesn't respond to you. This is the country we live in. Post-wall "BBWs" with kids can actually be arrogant and choosy. What more do you need to know about the dating market?

I can't be bothered to interpret her retarded woman-ese speak.

But I will say this much: if you're gonna be crazy, you'd better be Marilyn Monroe hot. This woman is passable/attractive, not boner-popping, traffic-stopping hot.

I've done crazy, and when all is said and done, you want to be saying "Well, despite the weirdness, at least that was the most incredible body I've ever touched/best anal, etc." In fact, crazy/hot is often a great combo, because you get the wildest sex with the best looking woman. Crazy/average just means you're taking on a burden.

Funny enough, according to her Facebook, she went to James Madison, same college as the crazy woman I just made reference to. Must be the water down there.

Reading that, is anyone still skeptical of my theory that Modern American Women Possess Victorian Sensibility?

Privilege + Depressive Tendencies = Sensibility (Grandiose Indulgment Of One's Emotions, Hysterical Overreaction To Minor Stimuli, Narcissism, Obsession With Romantic Fantasy, Celebration Of The Pathetic).

The Daily Mail pioneered the art of Clickbait in online media, and their huge success in a period where print journalism is dying has guaranteed that every website is following the clickbait model. You might find these articles interesting:

Is this all about social media? Not really. MailOnline editorial director Martin Clarke spoke of the importance of the "dark social network" - the sharing of links between friends via email and instant messaging services, which is more important than search or social to MailOnline's success.

Write an emotionally-charged story (either 'what the actual fuck' or 'so kawaii'), and a Sensible with just have to share it with her friends, so they can all indulge their heightened emotional states.

Interesting discussion here of use for anyone writing for Return Of Kings. This is the pool we're all swimming in now:

The Art Of The Clickbait Headline

Never underestimate the hunger of an ignorant, well programmed and hungry beta provider. Those guys can put up with almost anything, she is still on time to catch a mangina, have him knock her up, make her dream of becoming a mother come true, stay together for a few more years, realise they've run out of love, fill for divorce and go for her last ride in the cock carrousel and to live la vida loca in her 40ies courtesy of her ex.

Slate is 4chan's longest running parody account.

I feel bad for this creature, because what she is more than anything else is roadkill of the American epidemic of psychiatric overdiagnosis and overmedication.

Here is the truth: she is not mentally ill. She is neurotic like half the females of her age and social class, but that's it. However, she has been convinced by irresponsible psychiatrists that she's "mentally ill" and has been on harsh and terrifying "cocktails" of psych meds for years already. Given the kind of shit she's jamming her brain with on the daily, it's a wonder she's doing as well as she is.

If by some magic I was given complete control over this woman's life -- if she was compelled to do exactly as I told her at all times -- I could have her feeling completely normal and as happy as a pig in shit within a couple months. All she needs to do is taper from and/or quit the psych drugs (depending on the specifics), go on a perfect diet with some essential fatty acid supplementation, get regular sleep with bright light therapy every morning and do some regular, moderately intense weight training. After a few months of that she would be more dully normal than 80% of the bitches in Brooklyn or wherever the fuck she lives. After 6 months she should be ready to marry a well-off beta of 45, spit out 3 kids between now and when she turns 40, and salvage a normal and decent life. After 5 years she wouldn't even remember what "depression" or "OCD" meant.

Will that happen? No. She will continue to be switched by her docs from one "cocktail" to another and will probably be fucked over irreversibly and one day actually figure out a way to kill herself with more efficiency that she's ever done anything in her life. And none of that is necessary.

What a f'ing waste.

Massive case of Alpha widow! All these 6s who are getting fucked by male 9s and 10s and then consider themselves at their relationship-level.

Bingo. I'd argue that this just another in a long line consequences of the American culture devolving from self reliance, accountability and responsibility (do it for yourself) to consumerism and external-ism (buy it yourself). In her case she's most likely erroneously looking for the answer to her problems in a pill bottle when the solutions are quite possibly already within her. Her conditioning just makes her incapable of seeing that.

That reminded me of a truly memorable comment posted on Roissy's blog in February 2010 by PhillyBoy81:

Quote:Quote:

Fret not, my brethren. You will be a master of the universe in the long run, so long as you stick to the script. In the end, good guys get the last laugh.

These players, or as Roissy says “alpha males,” are doing all the rest of us a favor in the long run. They operate very much like short sellers in the dating market, exposing fraud and helping to discover the true prices of commodities (women).

I’m not a big fan of evolutionary psychology, so I’ll implore you to think about the situation this way. Let’s take a 21-year old chick who’s between a 7/8 (cute to pretty). She’s the equivalent of Roy Jones, Jr. in his prime, all attributes, no fundamentals or technique. She garners the attention of males both older and younger. She can pretty much get sex whenever she wants it and with whomever she wants to have it with. And that is ultimately her downfall.

Young women (and some older ones) have an overinflated sense of the value of their vaginas. I mean, they have Wharton MBAs paying for exotic trips and they’re drinking Cosmos in the VIP with the Wizards. Why wouldn’t they? Since they are able to get such easy access to “alpha” dick, it follows logically that they should also have access to “alpha” wealth, marriage, and the lifestyle that accompanies all of that, right?

Wrong. See, when women gain this enormous sense of pussy power, they swing for the fences. That’s what power does to people. It makes them crave more. So, the cute guy with a 3.8 GPA, but no car? Nope, not good enough. The nice-looking pre-med student? “Nah, I’ll just get back to him later. I heard Jude Law’s hotter brother is transferring here this semester.” They invariably end up overplaying their hand. They chase these players looking to get a ring, and then that ring never comes. So now they’re 27. It’s a good thing she kept that pre-med Johns Hopkins student in her back pocket just in case things didn’t work out with the player, right?

Wrong again. In a vacuum, women would have their way. Men beg for sex. Women decide whether to give it to them (and for most guys, they will not give it to you). But luckily, we don’t live in a vacuum. We live in the real world with social constraints, and there are two that work distinctly to a man’s advantage: reputation and age.

Men take notes. Ladies, don’t think our homeboy didn’t tell us about the time he bought you drinks, only for you to walk away and make fun of him with your girlfriends. Don’t think we won’t remember your bitchiness. And don’t think we won’t remember those guys who you ran behind like a cum bucket. We remember. And we punish.

When a man sleeps with 100 chicks, he’s a stud. When a woman sleeps with JUST ONE guy, that eliminates you as wifey material to ALL of his friends. Seriously, how many times have you met a cute girl and your friends said, “Oh, she was with _____.” It was a wrap. Women who aren’t able to learn their true value quickly and then make wise decisions early on pay a hefty price in the long run.

The height of a woman’s value, in terms of her value as a long term partner, is around the age of 27. That is the praecipice. She must make the decision: settle down or play around. Her best choice, if she wants to get married, is to begin actively pursuing a husband. But she faces a couple of problems. First, she wants to marry up (older, richer, higher status). But by this time, her peers are just hitting their prime. They’ve picked up some wealth and game along the way, and are seeking to exact revenge against the throngs of women now begging for engagement rings. Second, she’s got competition. Those new “alphas” aren’t trying to mess with used goods. They want that 21 year old model. And for a Harvard MBA on Wall Street, that’s not an unrealistic expectation.

The older she gets, the more her singlehood gets scrutinized by men. Why the hell is she still single? Whose cock has she been sucking all these years? This bitch must be crazy or something. And let’s face it, what virile, successful bachelor wants to entertain a 29 or 30 year old as wifey potential? She’s going to want to become a baby factory right away and rip away the last vestiges of your freedom. I don’t think so. It’s now my time to swing for the fences and bang some of these 21 year olds that I couldn’t bang in college.

In conclusion, a woman’s value is really defined by the type of man who puts a ring on her finger, not the type of guy who will fuck her. It takes a lot of women a long time to understand this, and thus, they overplay their hand. If it wasn’t for the players dogging them out, these women would not get a sense of their true value and start to seek out men who fit within their price range.

Obviously she misunderstood the relationship-packages she got:

- Way more smash & dash instead of girlfriend-package
- Also funny in the video: "Check your hoe-facts"

I didn't right-swipe her bro! My reaction was:

American girls don't date. They go out and sportfuck. I had a girl offer me her # the other night as I see her leaving with another guy, wasn't the first time. It's not enough to have someone for the night, they have to line up a cockgasburg lest they feel incomplete.

If an American girl wants to go out on a "date", I wonder automatically wonder why. How old is she really, how extractive is she, what kind of attention does she want? American girls don't need to date, for day and night and all through cyberspace they're being carpetbombed with attention from everyone - alpha, beta, foreign, domestic, bots and tinder autoswipes.

This is reflective in my different experiences between day and night game in the US. Unless she's got little hours logged on the carousel, the average American woman is so schizophrenic she can't conceive of the idea of a proper interaction let alone thinking ahead to dedicating an hour or two with someone who's not a drinking buddy/carosel winger. Hence all these 'intense short-term lived relationships'. Once you get past her looks (if she has them), the American girl is hollow. There's nothing to talk about with her in the daytime. Hungover, morning after pill pill, jizz-stained teeth, putting sunglasses on to hide the bloodshot eyes. Maybe she'll clean up when she's 35 but fuck that.

As Roosh wrote last week, experience is not kind to women. In the early stages you can still tap into that fun, bubbly feminine personality, depending on when she started riding. The more she gets pumped, the less she feels. She'll think she's a thinker with all these fancy psychological and literary references, but that's only because she needs a distraction from being lost in the moment again and again.

It's how the culture works here. I met an off-the-boat Baltic girl the other night who says she can't do anything at home and came to America strictly to ride the carousel. She wants one of everything because that's how America is advertised to her. She wanted to give me her # too as I see her leaving with another guy.

While we're at it with the mental illness, women need to stop with the glorified tortured artist diagnoses. Let's rev it up a notch; American girls are schizophrenic. They have no sense of reality, cannot think clearly, have wildly inappropriate responses to everything and are some of the most socially awkward creatures to walk this earth.

You feel like swan diving off a fifth story Paris balcony? You go girl!
