He never once mentioned the role the ability to get laid in the book plays in this or how women may have coevolved along with men.

Well he is right, but the point is that you can draw conclusions from this, in fact you must if you want to take our true nature into account.
Men are not fluffy teddy bears but born killers and a fruitful approach does not try to suppress that but to channel it. [/quote]
He does talk about getting laid. That’s where the “Bonobo Masturbation Society” stuff comes in. Basically, he argues that in today’s society the only expression of masculinity that is left is hooking up with lot of women, which, although men have always wanted sex, was never really one of the four original manly values. Really, it is the free sex movement and advent of birth control that has allowed women to open this up to society. He suggests that properly masculinized men would not be so concerned with hooking up or gaming women because they would have other outlets for their masculinity and sex would assume its normal role. Really, he says, you are playing into the exact role that women want you to when you are working so hard to be exactly what they want to have commitment-free sex with, just like the bonobo males who try to please their females in order to get their turn. And you might think that you are winning because you are being what they REALLY want, not what they say they want, so YOU are in control. But if you have deformed your masculinity into being their bodily vibrators (and working ever so hard to be a good one, at that), then really they have succeeded in diverting your attention away from your natural male impulses, of violence and male-oriented social interactions. That’s a win for the feminist movement.
In other words, by coming in here and immediately trying to apply it to getting women, you have already lost.[/quote]
Great post. This is exactly the point that I just finished making in the “pussywhipped” thread regarding Western males and Japanese females. The reason “Game” as a cultural meme even exists is as a remedy to an issue that didn’t even exist, would not have been conceivable, even a hundred years ago. It is necessarily misdirected, as so many of our energies are, and the void that once was filled by a clearly defined duties, responsibilities and expectations; honor, and a very real life and death struggle as leader (as head and protector of your household, if nothing else), has atrophied into, well, yeah, a bonobo is a pretty good metaphor for what masquerades as “respectable” these days.
I’ll take building my business, contributing to my community, raising my two sons, caring for my wife, and improving my mind and body and leaving the world a better place than I found it over Mystery’s entire lifelong harem of vapid semen-receptacles.
