What sucks about #11 isn't that women are naturally whores, most men can live with that. What sucks is how one has to become evil in response to it.
A young boy, properly raised, grows into a loving, affectionate man. He treats others with respect and asks for the same; he follows his natural drives and does no wrong. In a perfect world, we would encourage all men to be like this. Any man would raise his son to be this way.
Instead, we can't be good human beings. We have to use women, or get used. Society should be bulldozed and reformatted so that men can act like good people without being punished for it.
What we're doing is not evil. We are obeying nature. We are simply performing the mating ritual that the female of our species requires for sex. We are responding to the female brain. If conditions were different, we would behave different. Nature is set up in such a way that we have to behave in this manner in order to get sex. This is the reproductive strategy that nature created for us.
So how could it be evil? Its nature.
Its all a product of evolution, no?

I almost feel like this is some modern day Lao Tzu game shit!
OG,
What I wrote reminded you of Loa Tzu!?
We must be smoking some good shit homie!!!
Can you explain this connection? I love trying to apply eastern religion to game..
Well Gio, it's been a very long time since I read the Tao Te Ching, the spiritual manifesto written by Lao Tzu, the foundation of Taoist philosophy.
From what I remember, Lao Tzu used the metaphor of the flowing stream, as everything in life is flowing, and as cliche as it is, we need to go with the flow. There is no point in resisting the flow, when it is something that is out of our control. Sometimes we need to surrender to this flow, and adapt to it, incorporate it into our lives.
I feel this is directly related to game, when we are mislead by society, culture, our parents advice, and conventional wisdom when it comes to dealing with women. Conventional wisdom does not get most guys laid. That is why so many "AFC's" have swallowed the "red pill", and learned to adapt to their environment, and the truths that environment holds.
I do believe in the Tao Te Ching, there is a lot about seeing through the "fog of illusion", and seeing things as they truly are. A lot of game is about this, it's cutting to the core of what truly is, the female mind, human nature, etc.
Perhaps human nature, get's changed and manipulated as humans and our cultures, societies, etc. have changed and evolved over time. That is why we need to evolve and adapt, or "die off" so to speak.
As a major former beta, and AFC, I've had to open my eyes to a lot of the reality of how women are, how our dating culture works, and so forth.
Like Samseau was saying I feel that maybe this has made a little bitter, jaded, or cynical in my world view, but often reality is not sweet roses. If you want to get laid in our culture, you got to go with the flow, and adapt, or get left behind.
Not to say that you have to become a manipulative, deceptive person, but sometimes you need to adapt and change. The nature of the female in this day in age, and the dynamic between the sexes, has changed so drastically over the ages (probably just in the past 50 years), that what was once natural and normal is not any more.
We are like sticks floating in the stream, we have no control over the forces that carry us through, so there is no point in resisting this flow, we need to adapt to it, and use the flow to our advantage.
This diverted into quite the rant, and I'm probably reaching with most of it. But that's what I was thinking when I said you're dropping some Lao Tzu game shit. Sometimes we need to be philosophical to get to the root of the truth and understanding.
