In the short run, it is, of course, very exhilarating. But the kind of long run damage the lifestyle creates seems to me to be too dear a price. And, rose-tinted glasses aside, it is a fact that there was less of this specific kind of unhappiness under the old paradigm.

Then again, I am neither a woman nor anywhere close to the top of the mating and/or status hierarchy, so of course my incentive structure just looks different. That’s why I’m trying to comprehend the view from the ‘other side’...

Someone who does well under or at least approves of the present paradigm of relations between the sexes, I guess.

That’s not me. Well, it depends what you mean by “does well”. I don’t approve of the current paradigm, but I tend to think the only way out is through. Further, I basically accept that the war between the sexes is eternal and that’s good thing.

You mean something like Evola’s ‘man in time’ or accelerationism? Certainly has its appeal and is easier to execute than any attempt at restoration. I for one am waiting for the Eschaton. I think only God can fix this mess by this point... I prefer ‘rivalry’ to ‘war’ vs women.

It’s just the view I developed myself. Call it Hartian pragmatism if you want, I don’t know about Evola or Acc. Sex is a war...people die over love! “All’s fair in love and war.” Rome and Juliet! And if you don’t die...your genes aren’t passed on—a sort of death!

When you put it like that, yes; though ‘war’ used in that sense is somewhat metaphoric. I think in an *actual* war, you must be able to truly detest your enemy, & be ready to exterminate him if needed—& I can’t see that attitude to women. A desire to dominate? Yes. But not detest

1. von Clausewitz spoke of necessary force. Threaten to”exterminate” your enemy and he will fight to the death & strongly, not a logical military strategy! Leave him room to surrender!

2. Soldiers don’t hate (maybe fanatics & terrorists do). They respect their opponent and honour him (her). They don’t detest either. They see the game of war (love) and try to play as honourably as possible, although the stakes are high.

3. "The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.” —Nietzsche. Love, like war, an adventurous game of play.
