That's very simple. The benefit is that a high status powerful man offers so much survival advantage to a woman that even if you divide his power by 5, it will still be more power than 95% of men. Because power is so unevenly distributed in society. Being 1 out of 5 of Bin Laden's wives gives a woman more survival advantage than being 1 wife of 1 homeless Arab man. 20% of a rich man is worth more than 100% of a poor man. For course in western democracies this isn't so important, which is why women in the West don't tend to like such arraignments. When your survival is taken care of by the state, you don't need a man for survival. But this is a very recent invention and still around the world many women aren't so well positioned. A child can throw a baseball without knowing anything about math. But still that ball flies in a mathematical way. When we say that thrown balls are mathematical we don't mean that if you throw a ball you're doing math in your head.

No, for everyone. Of course it doesn't work in such a silly way. It's all unconscious. A woman has no idea why she is attracted, but she is attracted to value. And things which have no value to her she simply ignores without even thinking about it. None of this is calculated logically or even brought into conscious awareness. Women have an intuitive sense of what is under-valued for them and they simply ignore such men. Feelings and emotions are driven by value. Just because you feel something and never think about value doesn't mean value isn't at play. Feelings run women, and women largely have no idea of the logic behind why those feelings exist and what their survival purpose is. Feelings are mostly unconscious survival. And of course a woman is not going to agree to such a cold and calculated explanation of feelings, because in her experience it doesn't feel cold nor calculated.

It's a value game. Status is one type of value.

Why do you assume that your view of security is correct? Quite the bold assumption for someone who has no experience in security.

@Unleash Great share and great work!

In very simple terms, everyone is attracted to the best they can get. Like how everyone is attracted to the lowest price they can find. It's nothing personal. At an auction everyone is trying to pay the lowest price for the best goods, and we'll just have to see who wins what for how much.

Or maybe the problem is that he cares too much.

For a one night lay, maybe. But not for a serious relationship. When you are desperate you will sleep with anyone. But the more you sleep around the higher your standards get.

Girls are attracted to the top 20% of men, and men are attracted to the top 20% of girls. The problem is the self-biased way men see this situation.

Your feedback has been heard, I will keep improving on this front. To be clear, that comment I made about pigs was not an insult of your physical appearance, it was a deep insight about the nature of bias and love. I am sorry it hurt you. The truth is that it does hurt when girls ignore/reject you. Facing that is part of the challenge of life as a man. Most girls will not be attracted to you. But don't give up. Some girls will like you.

Once you understand why you do not love a pig, you will understand why a girl doesn't love you.

Not that I know of.

Gigachad Bin Laden had 5 wives

I had a girlfriend who got super horny from taking isoflavenoid soy supplements. If you got a girlfriend, feed her a gallon of soy every day and you will be a happy man

Ancient Means = talking to a woman. Warning: only for Boomers.

@CoolDreamThanks 2 months is a really impressive solo retreat!

Never

Who are America's rulers in the Middle East? That idea isn't credible. America mostly just does lots of business deals there and America supports who is best for business. That's mostly America's foreign policy philosophy. America likes secular regimes because they tend to be better for business, but America settles for other kinds of regimes because it often doesn't have much choice.

No, because both parties support Israel.

Something to consider: If the US did not support Israel so strongly then it's much more likely that Iran and Arabs in the region would go to war with Israel because they would have a decent chance of defeating Israel by itself. So the US is trying to make sure that war doesn't happen. That war would ruin the whole Middle East and ruin oil exports.

It can be done, but it's hella hard. For example, the new Bladerunner flopped. Even though it was very well made and better than the original.

It's capitalism. Hollywood makes crap films to sell to the masses, who don't want taste, they want dumb blockbusters. Hollywood caters to teens, who are too foolish and impatient to value high quality films. Thus great films are rare and all the great franchises are ruined.
