If I could give just one piece of advice to my hypothetical son, it would be this:
Never take women seriously.
If I could give him a second piece of advice, it would be this:
Make an indecent photo album of every girl you’ve ever banged.
“Trust me, son,” I will say, “when you’re in your dotage, and all you’ve got is your loving but completely asexual old wife, and the young women walking down the street have stopped returning your flirtations, you’ll thank me when you crack open your dusty dirty digital pics and videos to marvel at… and masturbate to… the fine ass you once tapped.”
“But dad,” he’ll argue, “I want to cherish their memories, not splooge on them. Anyhow, I can always turn to internet porn if I want to get off. In 50 years, it’ll probably be holographic.”
That’s when I’ll explain to him that the best way to cherish past loves is to keep their memories alive and fully expressed through the indomitable tumescence of his stiff cock. What an honor to bestow on a woman! Of all the women in the world… of all the readily available porn… it’s *your* naked pic from 30 years ago, dear love, I choose to stroke off to. And then I’ll remind him how much more satisfying porn is when the featured stars are you and one of your exes in the bloom of youth. Nothing brings back the flood of happy memories like a photo of an ex spread-eagled on the bed, her youthful meatflaps illuminated by the nightvision on your camera.
Given that everyone’s sexual future, once over a certain age, likely will be worse than their past, a dirty photo album of conquests from better days will help ease the pain of encroaching obsolescence. It will remind one of the prowess one once possessed, boosting the ego as well as stirring the loins. In my coffin, I would want my dirty photo album placed tenderly upon my chest, to accompany me to hell.
The dirty photo album also serves a purpose in the present. When you are in a rut, and your game has gone soft, a quick glance at the hotties you scored over the years will fortify your resolve, and invigorate you with the renewed confidence that what you once bedded, you could bed again.
When I am a bit down I come to this site and within minutes I am laughing my ass off.
Thanx.

His eyes are sexual, lusty; his body is dead and dull. He starts having a dirty look on his face; he starts having something ugly about him….
The old man knows that those childish desires were really childish. He has known them and now all those days of youth and turmoil are gone. The old man is in a state when the storm has gone and silence prevails. That silence can be of tremendous beauty, of depth, of richness. If the old man is really mature, which is very rarely the case, then he will be beautiful. But people grow in age, they don’t grow up. Hence the problem.

My old roomate from my twenties had a polarioid collection going back to the late seventies.
He counted once for the other bouncers just how many women that he remembered sleeping with. It was before his 28th birthday. The number he came up with after thinking about it all night was 473 if my memory serves (might have been 463). The other bouncers used to tease him about how many coat room blow jobs and break time fucks he’d get out in his car (if you were a hot underage chick, you could get in the club if you were willing to put a dick in your mouth…………………..and this was the eighties). He was the head of security………..so he got the perks most often.
He had A LOT of gals on video. He had this mood-ball-looking-thingy on a nightstand. It looked like a Space Oddessy 2001 sort of gimmick. It had a video camera inside of it that he probably swiped from his day job (he was a cop).
Anyhoo……………..my pal had a shoebox full of polaroids of some very damn good looking women, and some very damn ugly ones. *****
Getting laid was his “hobby” and he was blessed with extrodinary good looks, great size (about 6-1 240), intelligent, and had extrodinary people skills. He had a psychology major and I think this also helped him .
Funny story: The tapes probably cost him his second marriage (he was cheating damn near every day anyway……..especially with a nurse in her minivan on her lunch hour and a beauty salon owner in the storeroom at the end of her shift, but I digress). He hid the tapes in plain sight in his video collection, figuring his wife would never want to look at his stash of John Wayne movies. Low and behold, he walked in one afternoon, and she is sitting there, Indian style, watching him fuck one of her past “rivals”, slapping C_____ on the ass and calling her every name in the book (I’d seen that tape, he slapped her right in the face a LOT while fucking her missionary right out of the blue, which was hysterical because she actually liked that. Oh well, to each her own). Needless to say………………….the marriage kinda went downhill from there. Trust issues. Go figure. His wife caught him having lunch one to many times with ex girlfriends that he was still fucking. The thing is, that the wife was at least an 8 on most men’s charts, and probably closer to a 9. That was him though. He is a once-in-a-lifetime-kinda person.
***************In the late seventies, when he was a cop in east Tennessee, outside of Knoxville, he and a couple of his buddies used to go “hogging” on Tuesday nights (no bars open on Tuesdays back then). They’d COMPETE to see who could fuck the fattest redneck chick AND GET HER PICTURE OR ON VIDEO. He’d win this little contest more oft than not. He’d go to Waffle Houses and Shoneys and Convienience stores and chat up the redneck waitresses for leads and phone numbers……..and fuck “pretty whores” (they were all whores to him, thats what he called women when he didn’t call them “fuckholes” and “cum recepticals” the rest of the week.
When he was my roomate, that son-of-a-bitch would fuck a woman just about every single day, and on some days he’d have one come by on his lunch break for a fuck, and another one that night. Ive never seen anything like him.
He settled down for good in his mid-forties and got married to a nice—and pretty damn hot—-single mom. Theyve been married for about 8 years now. He is faithful to her, which just goes to show ya’ that anyone can toe the line if they try hard enough.

We both freeze, she grabs something to cover herself with, and the cop gives me a lecture… a looong lecture … about how it’s illegal to park here and next time he sees me here, blah blah blah… but he lets us drive away.
And he’s about to let us go, when he asks my companion if she’s all right, or if she needs to be driven to her parents’ house. She reflexively and nervously — being that she’s completely naked and clutching to a shirt that she’s trying to cover herself up with while the flashlight is all over her — say “No, I’m fine.” And finally we drive away.

As for “expose you as the author of this site” there are several random pictures that seem to be of Mr. Roissy throughout this site.

I think public ownership would in fact increase my sex life, however, there are always psychos like you out there. I recall a popular sex-related blog by a female who was recently outted – however – her family seemed able to take it in stride. I’ve often debated posting my thoughts on a blog in topics of this, but include some of my best tucker max level stories.
On a somewhat related note, I once came across a site that allowed users to anonymously post their sex life – sounded like a calendar to help you keep track, maybe add some stories, etc in the name getting a calendarexc feel for just how often you get laid, and with who. Anyone know what it is?

I do think Roissy treats people badly, if he does what he boasts about. He makes a virtue of treating people badly. He’s openly amoral. Sure, there are some common sense insights on the site (men should project confidence, women will be judged by their appearance.) But, seriously, adults don’t treat other adults as tools for their own pleasure. I stand by the “bully” comment. Roissy talks about bullying women, and bullying the men he feels superior to.
It’s ugly behavior. I think he’ll regret it later if he’s found out. I think anyone who comments here (yes, me included) runs the risk of regretting our brief association with the site if we’re found out.

Status for men is determined differently depending on which sub culture the man operates in.
For example, it is quite likely that among the sub culture you operate in, your status is determined by some combination of the number of women you have slept with and the hottness of the average woman you have slept with.
I see nothing wrong with your sub culture and its status rules.
However, different sub cultures have different rules. Bill Gates socializes with different people than you do – Bill’s status is determined not by the same measures that your status. For example, Bill obviously has the opportunity to sleep with hundreds of supermodels but knows that it would not enhance his status in his group and thus decides to pass up on an opportunity that you Roissy would jump at.
Believe it or not, there are some social circles where women who are “sevens” on the hottness scale but very high on the IQ and accomplishment scale can attract better males than the women who are “nines” on the hotness scale.
There is no one single heirarchy of the human race, no one single dating market value.
Your male readers who lack attention from females should perhaps consider changing the social circles they are active in rather than attempting to change themselves (through PUA seminars and such)
For example, if one of your readers is a beta, they might want to join a church that is known to have three times as many nubile young females as it has males. Such churches exist in many parts of the usa.
Some of the young females at such churces are deliberately seeking betas (not alphas)
Let’s look at it another way – if you are a high IQ female “seven” that lives in LA you may feel you are constantly being outcompeted by the supermodels and actresses and other “nines” in LA. The logical thing to do is move to Palo Alto where there are very very few “sevens” – by changing your geography you as a female will go from getting almost no attention to getting plenty of attention.
There is not just one tournament going on – there are thousands of little micro tournaments and competitions.
Perhaps Roissy you should be advising your loyal readership to find their own niche

Stu — all Western women seek the most dominant socially and physically man they can attract. And will often switch to another of higher status/power when they find him. See Lois Feldman. Went to Church every Sunday.
You’ll probably find more receptive women to player’s advances in Church than outside it … though relatively few young women attend church or religious services.
This is simply reality. Gates social circle is comprised of people with fewer partners, to be certain, on average, but the same dynamics apply.
However your larger point about Alpha is well taken. There are doubtless many men on the Indianapolis Colts with far greater amounts of partners, but Tony Dungee is quite clearly the Alpha man there. As it would be for say, Tom Coughlin of the New York Giants. For most men it is the construction of patronage-power networks. The ability to dispense favors, job-getting references, and so on. That’s real power. It generates in return complex favor-owing hierarchies that extends patronage networks.
If you seek to understand real power among men, look at who can get someone hired, or save a job, or things like that.

Actually, if you go to any Stanford alumni events you will see that young women that are “sixes and sevens” who attend stanford will often marry their Stanford classmates who are exceptionally good looking muscular and very high earning men.
Stanford is a micro market for mating. The typical good looking Stanford male is not stupid – he knows that he COULD take Roissy’s advice – however for some good looking high earning males, their first priority is to have children with very high IQ and the only way to get a shot at that is to marry the high IQ female – NOT to chase the hotties.
Take a little time to read the bell curve – the success and happiness of your sons is to a very large degree determined by the IQ that they are born with. And the only thing you as a father can do to maximize their IQ is to focus on the IQ of the women you are considering as mates.
Of course the readers of this blog who worship “playas” and dream about sleeping with a supermodel or perhaps marrying an obedient “10” don’t follow this pattern – i doubt very much that the typical reader of this blog is too focused on what is going to be best for his future sons –
but my point is that there are micro markets out there – yes the majority of the men in the USA agree with Roissy and will pursue the “10” but there are micro markets of men who want something different.
if you are a woman that is dumb as a rock but is a “10” – move to Los Angeles where most men are like Roissy – you have good odds of doing best in LA
if you are a woman that is brilliant and a six or seven, if you can get in to Stanford go to Stanford. if you can’t, move to palo alto anyway and join all the venture capital and private equity networking groups. You will do well in those groups –
in fact i would say that moving to Palo Alto and seeking mates among the venture capital crowd is an option that is not available to the dumb as a rock “10”
young women who are rational will choose their location and choose their social group based on where the odds are greatest. There is not one unified market there are niche markets
similarly, my advice to beta males is to not compete head on with the alpha males like Roissy. Find a niche where there are no alpha males like Roissy around. Or go to a place where you are by comparison an alpha –
for example, ever thought about moving to Wellesley Mass? Many of the numbile young females at school there become “situational lesbians” essentially living their college years engaged in lesbian behaviour since there is such a shortage of males around –
if you are a beta hitting the same DC bars as Roissy you are bound to strike out – but if you are at a bar in Wellesley that consists of 70 single females and 3 single males, you suddenly are in a much better position
in fact, you may find that when you compete head to head with Roissy you are a beta, but if you go to a place with the right male female ratio you will suddenly forget the whole alpha beta issue
in sum, look for a micro market where demand for what you have to offer is very high and supply is very low
it works

If you are a woman with exceptionally high iq you should go to a place where there are many many men who will only consider marrying women with exceptionally high IQ.
this “assortive mating” is driven by the realization that if they marry a woman without high IQ their sons will not have high IQ
I know Palo Alto well, but high iq women are similarly valued in some other places
If you are a woman without a super high IQ, consider moving to Anchorage. The male female ratio is very skewed there, men who are good looking and high earning do not value IQ the way that men in palo alto do, and as a “six” or a “seven” you will do quite well
Again, it is all about an honest evaluation of your assets and a choice where to go to maximize the value of those assets
Where you as a woman should move depends on your IQ, your wealth, your income, and your looks, and your level of education / culture.

Wellesley suffers from the fact that its student body isn’t “hot”, and that it’s rather difficult to reach due to it’s distance from the core area of Boston. So, if you’re a smart male on a majority-female or near gender parity campus in Boston, what’s the incentive to go to Wellesley when there are plenty of smart women one one’s campus or on another campus near by? Allegedly, the only guys who really visit Wellesley for the girls are the frat boys and losers who some would argue reek of beta male gin. Wellesley girls want (and some could say feel entitled) to alpha males.
BTW, David has visited Wellesley pre and post-porn, and David wasn’t interested in chasing any of the women up there. The school’s good if one is interested in “WASPy” looking women…

Palo Alto is the place where female IQ is exceptionally highly valued and there is a huge supply of single males of all ages.
NO SHIT. (Yes, I went to high school there, and yes, I’m one of those single males who value female IQ exceptionally highly.)

You’re kidding me! Things must have changed there. I dated Wellesley women back in [insert very long ago date] and it was chock full of hot women. The first woman I wanted to marry was from that college and she was a solid 9 and her assigned “little Sister” two classes behind was a smoking 10. (And yes, when the 9 in an act of inanity dropped me I took little Sis for a long spin.) Of course the Boston of that time was also full of gorgeous women, so much so I nearly failed out of college I was so busy getting laid.
Agreed on it being a bastion of WASPs, but so what? BU, Tufts and MIT/Harvard for the rest of the diversity….
As for them being isolated, the bus to/from Harvard Square used to run several times per day!

I hate to pour water on anyone’s theories, but with all due respect, Stu is just flatout wrong.
One: The smarter a Woman is, the more susceptible she is to Game. A true Playa doesn’t want a Pet Rock to take home for the night.
Two: The Alpha/Beta Male Dynamic is everywhere, in all things, just like the Dynamic that undergirds S&M is everywhere and in all things. Therefore, you can be sure there is an Alpha Male in Palo Alto. Granted, he won’t be like the ones in NYC, or Compton, or Newark or the Hamptons, but there’ll be one (or a group). That’s just the nature of Human Nature. And you can be sure those 7s w/the highassed IQs are seeking him out.

Among most American males, the pick up artist lifestyle advocated by Roissy is indeed the dream and fantasy.
There are high earning, high IQ groups that choose a path other than the Roissy path.
Among many ivy league graduates in their 30’s who are now getting married, a person who chooses a “dumb ten” is laughed at compared to a person who chooses a brilliant seven
Read the weddings page of the NY times and you will see plenty of examples of ivy league men who could have chosen Roissy’s path who instead choose a different path.
Also check the list of young billionaires in Forbes – how many of them are following Roissy’s advice and how many of them are following another path
It’s called “assortive mating” – google it.
Roissy is sort of retro – a throwback to earlier times – today men are marrying women at their own IQ level in general.
They certainly aren’t marrying in college, but they get used to the IQ level of the girls they are in college with and travel in those circles and ten years after graduation often marry a girl similar to the ones they went to college with

I wonder if this is somewhat causal to infidelity rates increasing, since females are socioeconomically converging towards males. Specifically, it appears that females now have the same degrees of freedom as males do w/ respect to economically sound infidelity. Good for them, bad for males. Also I don’t think that unintelligent people should be ridiculed. After all… if you are lucky enough to be smart.. you didn’t do anything besides win a genetic lottery… it could have turned out a different way. Actually a dumb 10 will have a tendency to have children converging towards the average… just as a Sharp 7 will have a tendency to have children that will converge towards the average… Intelligence is no badge to hold up… what you do with it is.

If that’s really true, then I must say that from these highfalutin’ IQ folks, I’d expect a bit more, um, intelligent approach. Your kids’ success and happiness in life will depend on their good looks even more than on their intelligence, and the heredity of good looks seems to me much more evident than the heredity of intelligence. So I’d go for the hottie after all.
Also, as a fan of the Bell Curve, I’d bet you’re a fan of evolutionary psychology too. So, a question for you: if it’s critical to choose a mate so as to ensure high IQ for your offspring, how come we men are all evolved to slobber after hot babes regardless of their success on practical tests of intelligence, while ugly girls don’t give us boners even when they demonstrate Einstein-level smarts? Heh, what a pity they don’t hand out Nobel Prizes for amateur evo-psych. I would probably get one for this idea.

I’d sure choose a brilliant seven over a dumb-as-a-post ten (assuming of course this “brilliance” doesn’t manifest itself in overly bitchy ways). But you’re making it sound as if there are only sevens and up among women. What about men who choose brilliant fives and below? Are those with dumb tens or less brilliant sevens viewed as losers compared to them too?
Well, duh. People usually socialize with their peers of similar socioeconomic status. What’s IQ got to do with it? If you said culture, education, sophistication… I’d believe you — but IQ?!

No, but some guys with the IQ thing lurking in their subconscious find it sexy when a woman shows her intelligence and talent for living.
Smart people live differently from people who aren’t so smart, and if a guy is paying attention, he will be able to gauge a woman’s intelligence within a few minutes of seeing her performing mundane activities.
Though few will admit to it, I believe that the root of some men’s sexual and sometimes deeper preference for older women has to do with proven success. So it doesn’t surprise me at all that this would be a priority for many guys who are seeking women their own age or younger.
A guy might not care if you can organize squares, but he does care whether or not you are overly vulnerable to manipulation to do harmful things.
