Men have two basic ways of dealing with women:
The first is to take an estimate of the average of women, putting them all in a group, and then devising a strategy to deal with this average.
This is already quite difficult. You have to get a reasonable understanding of “women’s behavior.” This term is already an “average.” Individual women have different behaviors. If we group them all into one overall assessment, we have “women’s behavior.” Then, we have to devise a strategy of how to deal with this. Probably, this involves a series of planned and then practiced responses in a variety of social situations. Pickup “game” is one such series of planned and practiced responses or strategies. A man who is not interested in being a manwhore, but is actually looking for a monogamous girlfriend or a wife, might have a different series of planned and practiced responses. Or, a man might conclude that women today, in general, as a rule, are nothing but trouble. He will minimize contact and interaction, basically to reduce risk and avoid difficulty.
Today, many men have concluded, in America in 2025, women “on average” are unsuited to be wives, and unsuited even to be girlfriends. This does not leave much role for them. Probably, they are also unsuited to be employees, in many cases, except for fairly simple jobs (sales clerk) or traditional women’s roles (nurse or real estate agent). From this we establish a series of strategies, which are then implemented into practice. Part of this assessment is related to the legal situation today, which is terribly hostile to men and families. We can appreciate that, whatever the legal situation is, nevertheless there are some good wives out there. They made a choice to be good wives, and they are, no matter what the laws are. But, we can also appreciate that, women who destroy their families and husbands in divorce court, or destroy their male co-workers with false accusations, are also making a choice. Whatever the laws are, they didn’t have to do that. Most women don’t. But, if even 10% of women do, it is too high a risk for men.
I actually agree with this assessment. But, I do not recommend that a young man today take this approach. This leaves basically a Selective Strategy. I’ve said that we have to Take A Stand with the Top 30% of women. This includes the uglies, who are nevertheless capable of being a Good Wife and a Good Mother, and whom we can pair with equally ugly men.
But now things get very complicated. It is hard enough to generate a series of social skills and strategies appropriate for various situations. Now we have to determine not only “women’s behavior,” or one assessment for the average, but behavior for certain groupings, which we also have to determine. There is a certain, fairly large, population of rather nice and family-minded young women in their twenties, who are nearly involuntary celibates. Basically, despite their imperfections, they are in our Top 30%. We have to be able to define the characteristics of this group; figure out their behaviors; and then figure out what to do with them. Then there are other classes of women, in our somewhat arbitrary but necessary classification system, which we also have to reliably identify and then devise strategies for. Practicing just one series of strategies and behaviors is hard enough. But, practicing a series of very different strategies, for different times and different sorts of women, becomes quite difficult indeed.
This is a demanding challenge for anyone, but particularly for a young man.
Maybe I am making it too difficult. We can eliminate pretty easily some groups:
Too old (over 35)
Single Moms (including divorced)
Divorced
Uglies
Confirmed Sluts
Excessive tattoos, nose rings, etc. (but some Nice Girls have this today)
Married to the Corporation
Feminist nutjobs
Unfortunately, most of our Top 30% of women, or even the Top 10%, are going to have significant problems, including Leftist brainwashing, possibly grew up in a single-parent household, a sordid history of attempted relationships that never amounted to more than situationships, and on and on. Mostly, it is better if you get them young; and, girls who are enthusiastic about being Stay At Home Moms with multiple children.
It might seem that sticking with the Top 30% means that 70% of men would have nobody. It seems like there is a shortage of good women. But, there is also a shortage of men that want to pursue home and family in today’s environment. Since only about 10% of men might follow this strategy I am laying out, there are actually plenty of women for these men.
Tragically, the very best girls, basically from intact Upper Middle Class families, and virgins, are almost certain to be channeled into College and Career. Some even survive this, but mostly you are going to have to start around Age 16 and maybe up to about 19.
