One of my readers asks: It’s sad we’re at this point where the idea of romance has been questioned… though I understand how we got here. First, the macro dynamics between men and women changed. Women no longer need providers like they used to; “provisioning gestures” have thus lost much of their value proposition. Second — […]

A thread “To My Future Girlfriend” went around a week or so back, which I bookmarked to talk about: The thread actual goes on, but you get the picture. At first blush it looks pretty cheesy — you might say as “blue pill” as content comes. This guy is talking about all the different ways

Was asked to comment about this thread: And I think I know the reason why. Our community is very much about thinking and acting like you are “the prize.” Viewed through a certain lens, this thread about women “knowing their value and acting like it” seems very feminist.

Got a question from one of my clients a few weeks back about something funny. You see, on a date with a girl he got an erection… and he was worried she would respond poorly if she saw it. Would she think he was some sort of creepy guy? It’s a good question.Because the answer

A reader writes in: Hey Pat — I’d like some advice on an ex girlfriend. I’m an INTP and enneagram type 5 if that may help. Personally, I don’t have much trouble getting girls or having sex with them but my ex (only girl I have been a relationship with in the last 5 years

A long time reader was not super happy about an email I put out a few days back about players mostly getting their notches from promiscuous girls: I’m a little taken aback by the latest email. Have you read Sex at Dawn? Not sure I agree with all the analysis on the latest email from
