A singles event where there were 1000 women and not one man. What is going on in China.
Meanwhile, Passport Girls are coming from Europe to marry Chinese men.
After decades when American women were considered the worst wives, Chinese women may now get the top slot — according to Chinese men.
We’re gonna need a bigger antidepressant.
Norah Jones, the singer, has been married over ten years, following a seven-year “relationship” that broke up. She has two children.
She never revealed the identity of her husband publicly. It was accidentally leaked by a friend and fellow musician. (Lesson: Keep your marriage private and definitely NOT on social media.)
In her new album, she reveals the secret to getting and keeping a man:
All this time
All this time
All this time, I think of you
I think of you
Stay with me, I’ll make it easy
I’ll make it easy
Oh, I think of you
I think of you
(Flashes of you in white-hot heat)
(A moment in time, let’s make it sweet)
(Show me how to dream, show me how to forgive)
(‘Cause you made me love and you made me live)
All this time
All this time
All this time, I think of you
I think of you
Stay with me
(Flashes of you in white-hot heat)
Stay with me
(A moment in time, let’s make it sweet)
Stay with me, I’ll make it easy
I’ll make it еasy
I’ll make it easy
Young women, under 24, might be having about the least amount of sex in the past century.
This includes married women, of course. In the past, women did not have sex before marriage. Of course they wanted to. They got married young, and then they had a lot of sex.
In the 1850s, if you reached the ripe age of 23, seven long years after being “debuted to society” at Age 16, and you weren’t being cock-pounded regularly by the energetic young man of your choosing, well … sucks to be you doesn’t it.
Like Eskimos creating many different words for snow, young women today have been inventing multiple gradations of virginity. We now have “never been kissed,” and, “never held hands romantically.”
Here’s a woman who, she says, has never held hands romantically.
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8d7KGsG/
Pretty nice woman.
Very nice.
She’s with Elite Models.
Literally the most beautiful women in the world are … not holding hands romantically. Of course they will, someday, with whatever consequences ensue, but if you were looking for a virgin wife, they are certainly out there.
Basically, no good reason.
The typical conditions before no-fault divorce were:
There was less divorce before no-fault divorce became common around 1970. However, it was very common then for women — including Christian women — to claim that husbands were drunkards that beat them. It was probably 95% fake then too.
Because of this, some churches insist that only adultery and abandonment are good reasons for divorce — apparently, this is also in the Bible. Virtually any human interaction, or physical contact, can be claimed as “abuse,” and don’t we know women did that then just as they do today? Even more, because they had to, to get what they wanted.
Whatever the situation is, a woman can always disappear and not come back. Then, she can do what she wants, except enter another legal marriage.
The problem — oh yes, the problem — with this is that a woman that leaves and doesn’t come back also abandons her children and shared assets. She could probably keep personal assets in her name. I don’t think that if a woman had a checking account in her name, or a property, that the checking account or property would then be transferred to her husband because she left and didn’t come back. After all, she might come back.
If she left, didn’t come back, and also took the children, then obviously she had to deal with the children herself. No child support (which didn’t exist before 1975).Probably the man would have some recourse here, since you can’t just kidnap a man’s children.
Now, she can leave, not come back, and the husband has to hand over all his property, and also a large portion of his income in the future, because of “muh feeeeelings!”
As the original Liberal Arts purpose of colleges disintegrates, colleges have been becoming more and more vocational. Here is a list of college majors for 2019. I would imagine the trend has been even more vocational since then.
We have to go to #13, Psychology, to even get the first (arguably) “Liberal Arts” subject. Anyway, it is not obviously vocational. Out of the Top 20, there are only two non-vocational majors, Psychology and English, totaling 4.3% of majors. English often does end up being vocational, basically as a schoolteacher.
Increasingly, more overtly vocational schools, teaching computer science for example, can take the place of these typically mediocre college offerings, at half the time and one third the cost. “Polytechnic” universities can teach science and engineering, with MIT an example of this. What is the difference between a “vocational school” teaching trucking and one teaching civil engineering? The latter is much more complicated of course, suitable for ambitious high-IQ people. But, they are both vocational schools.
The point of all this is to get Men, mostly, to achieve an adequate income without wasting a lot of time and money on today’s four-year colleges. Women should not go to college, generally speaking. In practice, probably 5% are actually suited for it. Student debt alone is a marriage-killer for many women through the entire decade of their 20s; and many still have debt after that.
Since they don’t have to get degrees in Mechanical Engineering, women can actually study the “Liberal Arts,” mostly at home with their fathers. This is history, government, literature and fine arts — which most women would probably think is a lot more interesting than frittering their youth and beauty away designing crankshafts.
Now women themselves are wondering when this nonsense is going to stop.
Autumn 2024 Update: Fathers still oblivious.
The natural conclusion from all of this is:
Perhaps 50% of men who are now attending some kind of college, would be better off with more overtly vocational training (although “college” itself has become more vocational as non-vocational “Liberal Arts” have degenerated into worse-than-worthless).
More than 50% of women now attending 4-year colleges would be better off doing something else, like getting married and starting a family.
The natural conclusion is that college enrollment should drop by more than 50%.
The bumpup in college enrollment among Men, around 1970-1974, can be attributed to Vietnam draft avoidance. Besides this, there was a plateau around 23% of Men getting 4-year degrees, between about 1970 and 2010. Maybe this is about the “right” number. Today, it is more like 33%. So, Men’s enrollment might decline about a third. I don’t know what the “correct” number for women might be, since this whole history contains a) the “Mrs. Degree” era of 1945-1970, and b) the “feminist” era 1970-present. Let’s just say it is 10%, although maybe 5% is a better number — compared to 45% recently. There have always been “working women.” In 1900, more than 50% of all factory workers were women. This was a bad thing, not a good thing. If a woman feels pressed by necessity to get some vocational training (nursing degree) to make a living, that is OK by me.
Women these days, finding out that dating apps are basically just hookup apps, have been putting all their hopes on “meeting in real life,” supposedly at somewhere like Home Depot.
This never happened in the past.
Family, friends, work, school, and community (church/neighbors) were the big methods of finding a wife or husband. “Bar or Restaurant,” which we will have to take as the category approximating everything that lies outside of these other categories, was never more than about 20%. And, even that is a kind of defined social space where “approaching” is deemed acceptable. From this I conclude that recent hopes that trying to meet someone somewhere else — a park or beach, a store like a supermarket, public transportation, etc. — probably isn’t going to work very well.
It’s men’s job to create events and situations for women, where they can dress up. In the past, one thing that Men did, for their women, was to create dramatic staircases.
This staircase, at the Breakers in Newport, RI, was specially designed for women to walk down wearing fancy dresses and high heels. The step height is intentionally reduced. Apparently, due to its moderate slope, it also works well to slide down on cafeteria trays, which some of the Vanderbilt kids did when they were small.
Today, women are huffing and puffing a bit, because they want to go on fancy dates at nice restaurants, in part because they want a reason to make use of all the information they collect all day from beauty and fashion channels on YouTube. Men don’t really want to do this, first because they don’t know you that well, and also, because they figured out that the guys you like don’t actually do that. But, still, I think that this urge is valid, because women want a situation where they can dress up.
Women will dress like this, if you give them a reason to.
Wouldn’t that be fun?
Today, I sometimes see women dressed like this, in rather inappropriate circumstances, because I guess they just wanted to dress up. I saw a woman, by herself, dressed like this — actually, even more extravagantly, if you can believe that, and equally gorgeous — in Central Park in Manhattan at 10am in the morning. I hope she made it home OK.
I personally went to college with some women from some wealthy families. Actually, I had a girlfriend from such a family. She had a closet with $10,000 of dresses (in 1990s money, so more like $25,000 today). She had a separate insurance policy on her clothes. These were dresses like the one in the photograph above. I never saw her wear one once. She never had an opportunity to.
I didn’t give her an opportunity to.
We did a lot of nice mountain biking together though.
I remember how I was in college. The idea of dressing up was rather alien. But, it wasn’t always that way.
Here is a picture from Harvard in the 1950s:
This was not a dress up event, like a formal photograph. It is students walking to class, on just a normal day, wearing suits.
And, of course, this:
These were high school students, in the 1940s. Note the cola in bottles.
This sort of thing takes practice. So, start practicing. Also, I think that young people just need to start creating more get-together events. Who is going to do it, if not you? Your mom? The government?
Actually, for the high school age crowd, “your Mom” is the correct answer. Probably, someone’s Mom helped organize the event in the photo above. We really can’t expect teens to do this themselves. If you leave teens to do things themselves, they get together behind the Dairy Queen, by the dumpster. (It really was Dairy Queen, never McDonald’s or Taco Bell.) Anyway, that’s what they used to do. I’m Gen X, so I’m going to tell you how fantastic it was to get together by the dumpster at Dairy Queen, when we were too old to drink out of garden hoses. Ha ha, I’m joking, but you would actually take me seriously, because it really was better than today. I’m not sure what the equivalent of the Dairy Queen dumpster is these days. It seems to be: playing games online together. But, if you are out of the house, and maybe in college, your Mom can’t help you anymore.
If I was in college again, and I had a girlfriend with $10,000 of dresses again, I would set up some formal cocktail parties. Suits, dresses and heels required. Establish a formal rotation of bartending duties among your guy friends. Make proper drinks, in pretty glasses. Here is the menu from the Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, at Caesar’s Palace, in Las Vegas — which is a nice place to drink cocktails. This is what I mean by “proper drinks.”
I would make a formal menu, like this, although maybe not so long. Five proper cocktails. Practice making them. Start with three if you like.
You can buy very nice glasses for almost nothing. I like antique stores. Here are some at Goodwill for $10 for the whole set:
That’s about $0.60 per glass. NO PLASTIC CUPS, or dumb crap like Mason jars.
Do you know why glasses like these are available in the thousands in places like Goodwill for $0.60 each? It’s because people, who are dead now, bought them so they could invite people over to drink cocktails, when they were young. It was the people in the pictures above.
Invite about 30 people. It’s not very committal, so you can invite pretty girls that you don’t know very well, and they will come, because why not. It’s not a “date.” Start with ten people if you have to. Of course you want to also invite some guys, who pretty girls might be interested in. I suggest skewing the ratio a little toward more women than men. This is so easy.
Establish a formal schedule. Maybe once a month. Maybe choose the calendar dates in advance. Not “when I feel like it.” Make a sort of obligation. Get into the habit.
This is mostly Men’s job. Yes, women can do it too, but that is sort of like girls dancing together. Did women build their own staircases to walk up and down themselves? That never happened. Get up off your ass, Men, and buy some pretty glasses. You will be glad you did.
Today, most high-IQ women are selected out by the educational system, and sent off to high-paying jobs in finance and consulting, where they age out and end up single, childless career women in their thirties and then forties.
This is, obviously, dysgenic. The women with the best genes are having the fewest children, often zero.
How about if the High IQ women — let’s just put the cutoff at 130, which is two standard deviations from the mean and represents the Top 2.5% in raw intelligence — should, in principle, have at least four children.
You know who you are. I have known some of these High IQ girls, and they know they are brainy. I had one friend who went to Tokyo University, which is sort of like Japan’s version of Harvard, if Harvard was competitive. “You must have studied a lot in high school,” I said, making innocent small talk. “No, not really,” she replied. She just sort of drifted in. High IQ — in this case, probably 160+.
160 IQ is four standard deviations above the mean of 100 — statistically, in the 99.994% percentile, or occurring in about 1:50,000.
Those are some valuable genes. She should have at least six children, just on general principles.
And, she should marry a man much like her. Not, perhaps, IQ 160+ — that is very rare — but at least 130, which is not too uncommon, in certain circles.
Unfortunately, women like this tend to be very much defined by their braininess, and consequently do not pay much attention to beauty and appearance, which they, like the Ancient Philosophers (which they read, for fun, because that’s what High IQ girls do), tend to dismiss as trivial and irrelevant.
Yes, it is trivial, but not quite irrelevant. You can be High IQ and also A Babe. So, why not?
That’s called Winning. So, do it.
The actress Sharon Stone has a recorded IQ of 158.
British mathematician Ruth Lawrence had a recorded IQ of 175. If she just devoted 2% of her energy to vain beauty, then she could have been a Mathematician Babe with a 175 IQ. Which is, obviously, fun. She graduated from Oxford at age 13 (graduated not enrolled), and then … became a mother of four.
Cindy Crawford is not only a Babe; for two decades, Babedom was defined as: to what degree do you resemble Cindy Crawford? Her measured IQ is 154.
Yes, you can just … do that.
Marilyn Vos Savant supposedly has the highest IQ ever recorded, of 228, according to Guinness Book. Personally, I kind of doubt it — she might just be a “media creation,” i.e., an actress. Very high IQ girls like that are rarely satisfied with a simple newspaper column, even a popular one. Although, she also had two children, and perhaps was smart enough not to waste her time with careerist nonsense.
Pictures of her are rare, but here she is on David Letterman in 1986, Age 40.
Plus, these women also tend to be well educated, and from better families, for the simple reason that their parents are probably also higher-IQ, and probably have higher incomes and more education as a result.
Basically, these women should marry their brothers, collectively speaking — the brothers of other women like them. Probably, they are also higher-IQ themselves, and probably make more money, enough to maintain a single-income household easily; if not, perhaps, luxuriously.
So, brainy girls: Get Married Young, to a man who is much like yourself, or much like your brothers. Have a lot of children — I would say a minimum of Four, if you have an IQ over 130. Educate them well, which probably means homeschooling. If you like, you can have a career after Age 50, when the kids are out of the house. Since you don’t actually have to make money if you don’t want to, it can be the kind of thing that is also fun. Also, you can Be A Babe, and also a Sex Goddess, which is not really that hard, so why not?
