You know who had a decent grasp of Game and understood its essential truth? Shakespeare. Motherfuckin Shakespeare. His Sonnet 130 (h/t @martel2112):
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
Here’s an analysis of Sonnet 130. CH take: Sonnet 130 is basically one long anti-white knight/beta male pussy pedestal polisher neg. “Her eyes may not be pearls, especially the left one.”
There are innumerable examples of White European Game in Shakespeare’s works that resonate with today’s more scientific/field tested Game knowledge. Too many to list here. He should probably have his own ‘Great Men on Game’ category. The man knew women, and knew how they loved.
The poets always precede the professors. Unless they’re slam poets, who precede only Culture Death.
There’s strong evidence to suggest he was gay, but in a time where to be gay was to be condemned
I bet his fame + status + aloof attitude to women (as a result) was like crack

[CH: that’s gay propaganda. but if it were true it wouldn’t be a mark against shakespeare’s perspicacity. gay men can be amazingly insightful about the behavior, desires, and duplicity of hetero women. the reason for this is because they are often surrounded by straight women and, lacking any horniness for them, can see their flaws and foibles more clearly.]

Interesting. What’s the evidence?
There’s a great popular book Author Unknown by Don Foster that applies in depth textual analysis to sussing out authorship.

But CH has many locutions that definitely sound very British to my ears!

I’ve heard Karl Marx was a pen name for Friedrich Engels, and the pictures of Marx were just of some hobo that Engels dressed up for a photo session. Also, there are some doubts that Engels ever existed, or he may simply have been an amalgamate of the correspondence of a pedophile network. Just thought you wanted to know.

One of the many damages that SJW is trying to destroy great art whether it be in film or print or music.
When you are forced to display a preapproved view that doesn’t correspond to reality, people will feel the fakeness and hollowness of the piece. Often times, art is a tool meant to invoke truths to the consumer. That’s one of it’s main functional values. To have certain concepts off limits, you diminish the value of art as a whole because it can’t function as a knowledge tool.
If the SJW had their way, this Sonnet would be censored and never see the light of day.
One awesome movie that I just saw is ‘Ex Machina’.

Conventional wisdom in much of the manosphere is that pussy is not high value. That may be so but as far as beauty goes it is as high value as it gets and if some man tells you it is not then he is lying through his teeth.
The evidence is clear by how men act in the presence of a 9-10.
Yes, even so called Alphas. I read an article on ROK a while back regarding an honest Alpha who admitted that when he was in Moscow there were two women he was afraid to approach because he was so awestruck by their beauty.

Of course the whole idea is to not be phased by their beauty. But the fact remains that for thousands of years a women of beauty has been hard for a man to resist. This is in his core. She can use her beauty to wield great power. Again the evidence is clear. When I see a man enthralled by a 9 it is not because she looks like an actress he saw on T.V. There is something deep inside that is activated.
[CH: what you write is true. but this is why beautiful women are so captivated by men who… aren’t captivated… by their beauty. they reason, not unrightly, that such men must be beloved by beautiful women and thus accustomed to their company and inured to their physical charms.]

I agree with the son advice by the way. But again human nature is human nature and when a man sees a beautiful women something is activated deep inside. I think it can be hard to admit this but history has shown this to be true over and over again. 1000’s of years of history. Game just helps you with that. Remember there was no TV or advertisements thousands of years ago and men had to still deal with his captivation of a beautiful women. They always wielded great power and men would do almost anything for them thousands of years ago. It is in their DNA. The fact that men have to work so hard at not being attracted to them is proof enough.

One of The Bard’s more common, poetic gems:
The lady doth protest too much, methinks!
An aside: Here’s an obscure poem unrelated to the topic written by one Michaelangelo Buonarroti:
I’ve already grown a goiter from this torture,
hunched up here like a cat in Lombardy
(or anywhere else where the stagnant water’s poison).
My stomach’s squashed under my chin, my beard’s
pointing at heaven, my brain’s crushed in a casket,
my breast twists like a harpy’s. My brush,
above me all the time, dribbles paint
so my face makes a fine floor for droppings!
My haunches are grinding into my guts,
my poor ass strains to work as a counterweight,
every gesture I make is blind and aimless.
My skin hangs loose below me, my spine’s
all knotted from folding over itself.
I’m bent taut as a Syrian bow.
Because I’m stuck like this, my thoughts
are crazy, perfidious tripe:
anyone shoots badly through a crooked blowpipe.
My painting is dead.
Defend it for me, Giovanni, protect my honor.
I am not in the right place—I am not a painter

The website linked has a great side by side translation. It’s nice to be listening to the words — the music of Shakespeare — without having to wrestle with the archaic language.
On the other hand, the translation for the last line seems off somehow, even though it has the gist:
