Hypergamy is a dualistic mating strategy. Women have two conflicting mating strategies. How many of you have stopped and considered what that’s like for a woman?

It’s not easy, and it’s even worse for those who are aware of it because knowing it doesn’t change it. Like she can’t help it that the thug makes her wet…

The previous social order constrained women from pursuing their short-term, Alpha Fux urges in many ways. But now it doesn’t. So all women pursue the hottest guys, who turn them on the most. Now that they can earn and support themselves, why the fuck not? Really, what’s left except the Alpha Fux guy?

If you were a woman, would you strap in with some chode for the duration because he was “steady”? So what he can’t make you cum, I mean that’s not all there is to life, right?

Get this – women were trapped with men they didn’t want to be with in many situations in the past. I know, bringing up a female POV is always verboten here. But in fact, the Red Pill has made me much more empathetic to what it’s actually like for women. You see, if you spend a lot of time with different women, having sex with them, they open up. They’ll tell you how they feel about being monogamous. Many young women do not want children at all. And why not? Because it doesn’t serve men? That’s the point – they want to serve their impulses and their needs.

I don’t say it’s good. I don’t think we are headed in the right direction. But I do understand why women behave the way they do. And I don’t feel ill-served by it because it suits my mating strategy.

It’s never been verboten to discuss women’s perspectives on my blog, podcast, or anywhere else, for that matter. Hell, entertaining women’s perspectives is half the reason Michael Sartain and I catch so much shit on Access Vegas. On the contrary, I think sussing out why women are the way they are is essential to understanding intersexual dynamics. Despite some guys yelling, “Who cares what women think?”, understanding women’s innate motivations is key to understanding intersexual dynamics.

That disinterest is the first obstacle many guys in today’s Manosphere need to overcome to figure out what would work best for themselves in the new sexual marketplace. Pickup Artists (PUAs) have always been interested in what makes women tick. Understanding their motivations and mating strategies is key to solving men’s reproductive problems. MGTOW and others may feign indifference to those motives, but even their ‘solutions’ are still rooted in knowing why women do what they do.

For the most part, my work has been dedicated to understanding how both sexes solve their reproductive problems. My critics seem to think that just asking questions about those mechanics or coming to a consensus based on the dots I connect is negative and/or bitter. And I get it from both sides. There are the guys who’ll say the Red Pill is obsessed with getting laid, and therefore is pointless because it gives women undue importance in a guy’s life. Then there are the guys (and many women) who’ll say, “Rollo, all you ever do is focus on men, why isn’t there a Rational Female book you’re working on?” as if I owe them a counterbalance to The Rational Male. And don’t get me started on the guys who think that even entertaining a woman’s perspectives is tantamount to simping for her.

When I get asked about writing a book for women, my first impulse is to suggest they read The Rational Male first. I have no plans to write a female-specific book in the future (nor will I be participating in any misguided “making women great again” book) because I think what I outline in all my books is, or should be, equally relevant to female readers. Women will complain about ‘tone‘ and why can’t I wrap up this information in a nice pink-covered edition of the book, but it’s the content that’s important. Women would love nothing more than to read about themselves and their natures – if for no other reason than to get off on the indignation a man might inspire by writing it. They don’t want a rational discourse about it. They want an emotional delivery.

This is the difficulty I face; most women don’t want to learn anything objective about themselves. It doesn’t feel good. So, in this essay, I will outline a few things women can do to make themselves a better catch in the sexual marketplace. Yes, ladies, this is finally a Rational Male post directed at you.
