Women at the Finish Line
Women don’t care about men's struggles. They wait at the finish line and fuck the winners.
“Women don’t care about men’s struggles. They wait at the finish line and fuck the winners.”

This has been a widespread maxim in the Manosphere for a decade now. Hypergamous stress in the sexual marketplace has become so intense that women have turned into mercenaries to vet the men they’ll accept to plan a future with. I’ll admit, a lot of well-meaning Red Pill men believe women’s Hypergamous Filter is necessarily amoral if not openly cruel. Ill-informed critics of Hypergamy think it’s about binary extremes. They presume that all those Red Pill Guys® are self-defeated by the idea that all women are gold-digging prostitutes only looking out for themselves. This simplistic ignorance is popular among Doomers and critics alike. Both would dissuade the curious from Red Pill truths that they refuse to process.
But do they kind of have a point, though?
Every variety of MGTOW and anti-Red Pill intellectual cling to a misconception that Hypergamy is a straight jacket.
“Why bother with a woman for anything other than a short-term fuck if her Hypergamous nature will just predispose her to jump ship to the first guy who comes along with a bigger dick or a bigger wallet?”
In case you’re curious why these are unfounded and often deliberate misunderstandings of women’s nature, I covered all of these fallacies in my fifth book, The Players Handbook. And no, that doesn’t mean I’m backpedaling on anything I’ve ever written about Hypergamy.
