Gentlemen….Game 101:

Never EVER take a woman to dinner before you’ve fucked her. You’re begging to be resource exploited. (aka economically objectified)

If the girl wants you, dinner isn’t necessary to coax her across the consummative threshold.

If the girl doesn’t want you, dinner won’t change her mind.

Save your money, sup her honey.

Stick with bottom shelf sugary drinks for those first crucial dates. Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker. Food only gets in the way of alcohol absorption, and no girl feels sexy gnawing rack of rib in between talking about herself.

If anything, buying expensive dinners to impress a woman will turn down her thermosnatch. One, she’ll perceive (rightly more often than not) that you’re desperate and trying to pry her legs open with lavish payments up front. Two, if she thinks she can soak you before soaking your hog, she will.

Sperg Alert draws up the timeline:

What happens when you take out a #Modern #Wamen to a fancy dinner, and achieve… The #Friendzone.

…But don’t worry! She’ll suddenly have #Sex with you when she’s 35, and #PostWall after #Chad stops returning the phone calls, and you can have maybe 5-10 years of #Marriage before she #DivorceRapes you.

There is no end to the ways in which being in the bangzone is better than being in the friendzone.

PS What kind of dingbat spends $400 at an Italian restaurant? It’s fuckin pasta!

Henry Mueller is positioning for a COTW nomination:

Seriously. In the wake of #reetoo, I can’t count the number of “bad date” articles by complaining women that have appeared: “His choice of guacamole felt really problematic to me.”

If a lsmv man dares to even approach a woman, it’s “entitlement” rape. But if a decent guy she didn’t click with disappoints her, she feels obligated to write up a novella about it.

It’s a bizarro world we live in where a man seeking sex with a woman is taboo and a woman seeking to syphon off everything she can get while giving nothing in return is celebrated.

The term of art is Gynarcho-Tyranny. And only Game can defeat it….and save the West.

    I would appreciate some wisdom and advice from y’all …

    I’ve been married 13 years and have three wonderful children with my wife. She is a good wife to me (other than what I am about to describe) and a good mother to our children. However, we’ve had our ups and downs and I recently had an affair with a younger woman. I didn’t exactly get caught — I ended up telling my wife about it after she got a little suspicious, mainly because the guilt was eating at me after the younger woman started talking about how she wanted my babies. Wife was hurt but said she wanted to try to get through it together. I told her that I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay together, as our relationship seemed to have lost its spark; on the other hand I didn’t want to hurt her or the kids. Told her I loved her, which is true, but needed time to think.

    OK, so far I’m the jerk.

    In the process of my wife and I talking things over, she confessed to me that about 10 years ago (so like, 3 years or so into our marriage, and pre-kids) she had a fling with some other guy — she claims they didn’t have full on sex, but admitted to blowing him. (it wasn’t a work thing, but sort of similar – we married young and she was still in college at the time while I had already graduated and was working). I didn’t ask for any more details as I didn’t want to hear it.

    Now I’m left trying to figure out what to do. I know once a woman has cheated on you, it’s a huge deal and a relationship is almost certainly doomed from that point on. I could make excuses for why she did that 10 years ago (I am a recovered alcoholic and during that time I was at my low point and very angry about a lot of things, and she helped me through recovery to where I am today … I also had no concept of game at that time) but still, everything I’ve learned about women from here seems to scream that if she’s confessed to that, she’s probably done more, and regardless, it’s unlikely that she can be trusted again. She’s a stay-at-home mom with the kids right now, who are all under 10.

    I suppose that the best possible light on the current scenario is that now, after having had 3 children with me (I have already had testing done and confirmed that they are mine) and after my having taken control of my alcoholism and stepped up my game, my wife has changed from the unfaithful girl she was 10 years ago and genuinely wants to be faithful and stay together. And I do love my kids.

    However, I don’t think I’ll ever be 100% confident I know the full truth of the matter, or be able to trust her again. Also, while we genuinely have had a good family life together with the kids, and she is deferential to me in pretty much everything, I wonder whether her telling me about the cheating and my staying with her will change the dynamic so that, even if things had been generally good before, they’re likely to go downhill as she loses respect for me if I stick around.

    And the younger, hotter, tighter wants to give me more children ASAP.

    [CH: leave her and forge a new life with a hotter younger tighter woman. a woman cheating is a far worse infraction than a man cheating (for reasons explained at length here at this blog). there’s no going back from that. she will never stop thinking about her blowjob fling. you will always share her headspace with another man (and likely other MEN…women always undercount). the situation with the kids is tough, but you can work it out, and once the kids are finishing up high school the separation won’t hit them as hard as it would when they’re younger.]

        Leaving aside the hedonic value, this is a matter for the r vs K selection court. If CH is correct about feminine psychology in this situation, the threat to the kid’s viability of you sticking around may be as great as that of you leaving: She will increasingly shit-test you in front of them which will be particularly damaging to the boys. However, once a woman sees the onrushing wall splat _and_ has thrown her genetic lot in with you _and_ has boys, the risk of shit-testing goes down. Combine that with some Game and the K strategy may win out over the r strategy. The swab test is always in order. A man should never sign on the dotted line in the delivery room without it and no righteous woman of intelligence should let him. I’ve been telling woman to force their husbands to see a paternity test prior to signing since the 1970s PLATO group notes =ipr=. Some women actually took my advice and it helped their marriages. Why _force_ their husbands to do so? To overcome the “I would never doubt you, Honey.” piety — the kind of piety that destroys civilizations.

      I would stay together not for her sake but for the children’s sake. My own personal experience, being in the generation that has seen the most divorce from parents, is that divorces cause young girls to turn into whores and young boys to turn inward and dislike themselves which makes them either weak or sends them down a dark path. I don’t think that means you have to pretend you don’t care what your wife did. Sometimes and maybe the majority of the time, the children turn out normal after their parents’ divorce but imo, often, they do not.

      I don’t think I ever shared my story here but to make it short : my ex-wife cheated, I kicked her out and never looked back. Both the divorce proceedings and the lawyer were expensive but I now have full custody of my two kids and she’s allowed to see them once a month. The children are doing great and I have a somewhat permanent gf who is a great female role-model for them. I also have some fooling on the side.

      The “downside” is that the divorce destroyed my nice carrer path in the military (denied promotion due to taking too many leaves to care for the children when their mother was too busy fucking around), so I had to find a new job, became a top exec in a SME, created a small business online, started travelling on holidays and teaching watersports to finance it. All in all, the kids and myself are much better than if I had stayed with the whore.

      She, on the other side, is alone, broke, lives in a dump, became incredibly fat and generally miserable.
      Once a woman cheats on you, she has zero respect left for you, when she tells you, she explicitly despises you and it’s your choice to either be a doormat or to kick the whore back on the street.

      Either way, good luck, bro, I know how much it sucks (no pun intended).

    • Whether you leave or not: 3 things:

      1. the “it was only oral” is TOTAL BS. Classic minimization. Do NOT believe that for even a moment.
      2. Protect yourself: do not raise her standard of living, unless it’s clearly on her income. Do not acquire any more real estate. If you already have, find an excuse to dispose of it. Start stashing wealth with no paper trail, that mean you SECRETLY accumulate cash or gold.
      3. NEVER forget that the social, cultural, and most importantly, LEGAL apparatus is lined up to protect HER, and to confiscate from you, regardless of circumstances. Verily I say unto you, the judges do not care about you nor about moral justice.
      Been there, done that.

        Mare needn’t cost as much as this guy dropped…I think my total there was less than 400, right around that on the mark, maybe in the low 300s. Trabocchi’s places have the best cocktails in town however. Casa Luca is a great place for those for less money.

        Fiola is superior (obv) and Pineapple n Pearl is $280 pp including pairing, tip, tax, 11-courses…a significantly better bargain at 2-stars than I’ve seen anywhere.

        For 250 Euros, I would be getting a seven or nine course meal and very little pasta. Once you get used to that, paying too much for lower quality is galling. I grew up in DC. I would pay Putin to nuke it, NYC and Los Angeles.

        Another reason is that I am a pretty good cook myself and can often duplicate a 300 dollar meal. My brother can take one bite of a dish and tell you everything in it, how it was cooked and what shortcuts were taken with it.

I will get his opinion. I have eaten haute cuisine many times in Italy, France, and Germany and America is generally second rate and way overpriced. The menu is flashy but I see nothing on it that is worthy of the price. I bet their shrimp and lobster sauce is not as good as mine.

However, having eaten at this establishment as well as others here, in NYC, and Chicago, and actually taking a FRENCH GIRL who GREW UP IN PARIS and has eaten Guide restaurants there, along with having been there myself, I would not at all agree that there is a significant difference in either quality or price.

        You overpaid dude. But this topic reminds me of a “taste of Italy” promo my local grocery was running awhile back. The pasta was good, different than the American products. It was very pale, and had a definite taste and texture to it. I am surrounded by beaners so this stuff just sat on the shelves and week later it was going for 50 cents a lb. I snatched up about $10 worth. I’m also working on my pizza dough skills. I found that letting it slow rise in the fridge for at least 24 hrs makes a huge difference. I make my own sauce as well. I’d much rather cook for a gal, than blow a G on something that Pedro spit in before it was delivered to my table. Hell, you can find epic tacos in Tj for less than a $1 and watch the guy grill em up right in front of you. Tacos el Gordo just down the street from Hotel Ticuan if you’re ever in the area.

        I think Trav777’s argument is fair.

        Many people in this society, ordinary consumer drones-cogs, somehow believe you shouldn’t “get what you pay for.” But food is like anything else up for offer: you can go to Taco Bell for $5, then you can go up to Chipotle for $15, and the gradations increase and increase, and the general rule of thumb is that, yes, you’re paying for cachet . . . but is that so stupid? Say you wanted to impress a bimbo and you had money to blow. You pull up in your supercar, maybe a ’97 Vector before they stopped making them, then a valet parks for you and you glide her inside, with your hand on her ass. From CH’s argument, this is always a mistake — but if $500 is nothing to you, and you maintain dominance and frame, I see no reason why it wouldn’t help you lock down that bitch, particularly if she’s an HB9 or above . . . If you have $50M in assets, then such a dinner can be a cheap way to secure a ho-slut who’s 19 years old, but maybe she’s a model with income of her own. She could even be a daddy’s girl who will give you access to her bank account. Then, you reap and recoup your pittance investment when you drain her wallet. That’s exactly what I’d do. *shrug*

    • I’m not trying to defend Trav — but I have to disagree with Captain Obvious. There’s nothing effeminate about having preferences and taking a strong stance. One of the weaknesses of North America — and the New World in general — is a lack of appreciation for the finer things, and a huge push to deify the Middle Class, as if Middle Class was everything. For example, I like good fashion. Good fashion costs $$$$$ — lots of it. Design in clothes is EXACTLY like food . . . you could argue that it’s a waste, but I like it. Objectively speaking, haute couture — like the foodie haute — is far, far better. Materials better, colors brilliant, really interesting designs and texture. You can scream at me “fag” — but I also believe in abusing and treating women like shit, and fucking with liberal faggots. You don’t have to be a simpering effeminate in order to appreciate good food, housing, or clothes.

      *raising finger* And I’ll note this: In terms of getting women, it helps to be stylish, it helps to be dominant, it helps not to care about their opinion . . . while simultaneously catering to their stupidities. A well-dressed man has the edge over a slob. Your Ferrari is going to impress more than his Civic. The PROBLEM comes when you start kissing the worthless twat’s ass and neglecting your own rights and powers in favor of hers. When you believe in romantic love or when you give ANYTHING to weakling inferiors, such as women. THAT is the problem — not Michelin, and not Karl Lagersfeld.

      I change my mind. I am with Trav.

      (Points to CH, though, for pointing out, accurately, that you can get good food for cheaper . . . BUT you have to look for it, AND you have to know what you’re looking for . . . AND the venue will be uglier . . . and you’re HB10 Victoria’s Secret model girl will be not wowed by it …..)

      Good advice then and now.

      She has blue eyes and white skin, so my guess is she’s of Italian extraction, and using her first and middle name as her twatter/faceborg handle (whichever it is). Might explain why her date dropped $400 on Italian.

      And yeah, only drop that amount if you’re 1) loaded, and 2) out for your anniversary dinner with your w!fe.

      For one thing… spending that much on a first date screams to her that she’s the beta’s only option. After all, he spends $400 on all his first dates… right?…

        L- let me set you straight here.

        MOST of the restaurants in DC are fucking insanely overpriced. They are the “it” places.

        The portions at Mare are not ridiculously small, but they aren’t large either. This is not a tasting menu place.

        Is Olive Garden fast food? I mean, wtf…I recommended to you a place where you wouldn’t get “ripped off”

        The problem with people who are unwilling to spend large amounts of money are usually that they know the price of everything and the value of nothing. So you would go blow $150 at a restaurant and think you did well but OMG Fiola Mare is “too” expensive.

        That’s ass backwards. Spending $150 on Nikes is a waste of money and too expensive. Spending $300 on Prada shoes isn’t. I only really wear Prada shoes and I’m known for that and some mfers laugh at it bc wow you got all these prada shoes. Why? U think it’s because I’m a status whore? Nah, they last fuckin 10 years or more and still look new. The construction is bulletrproof. I wore the soles out on one pair and yet the uppers are still brand new looking. I’ve tried to shoe goo them repeatedly. Yeah so I am a cheapskate now who has Prada shoes? VALUE.

        I rode dirtbikes in Pradas ffs, I been wearing the same couple pairs of shoes for over a decade. I’d have already gone through 5 pairs of slave made nike shit by now, because they are only CHEAPER.

        Fiola Mare isn’t a waste of money whereas a TON of restaurants half that check WERE. So go to Olive Garden, get what you pay for. That’s my advice. I either eat CHEAP or I eat WELL. I do not like eating junk for too much money.

    This is actually a really interesting debate between Trav777, me, and sometimes-alpha on one side and the room on the others.

    Look, there’s no denying that CH is right in the foundations. Cheaper food does exist, and it can be just as good, or better, than the others.

    But as someone pointed out, YOU ARE PAYING FOR MORE THAN THE FOOD ITSELF. Think of it this way: Imagine there are 2 girls standing there. One is OBVIOUSLY fit and big-titted, great face, smiling pleasantly. The other is hidden in a hoodie and may be wildly chubby, you don’t know. CH’s hypothetical “great Italian place” is the hoodie girl. She MAY be a fine piece of ass and a great bargain, BUT THE OTHER HOTTIE’S RIGHT THERE AND SHE’S VERIFIED IN HER OPEN LOOKS.

    When you cruise by one of these Michelin places, you KNOW it will be very good. Will it be exactly dollar for dollar the best? Maybe not, but you’re guaranteed to get superiority. If you’re frugal, sure, take the risk. You can also scour the Net for free MP3s, or you can stop being such a holier-than-thou cheapskate and pay 99 cents at iTunes online.

    There are tradeoffs for everything. IF CH’S MAIN POINT had been, hey, the only heaven isn’t in Spago’s, I would fully and heartily agree.

    But if Trav777 then says, hey, you get better VALUE from Spago’s, you really do. And his point is even more valuable for things like clothes, like he says . . . same thing for consumer electronics, buying Sony or buying some piece of shit China-Chink knockoff from Guangzhou. The mid-price range IS a trap, oftentimes. Not always . . . I have a pair of $170 price-point Puma’s I bought in Vancouver recently from Brown’s (high-end store) and realistically they’re mid-range but I THINK they’re amazing, and they’re super-comfy and my judgment is they’ll last. But if I could have, I would have bought the top-of-the-line $1,000 pair made by European white hands. Food . . . okay, somewhat ephemeral, often experience-based. But don’t worship the middle-class experience, and told tell me we’re pussies for wanting the best . . . which is often, as Trav spoke, best VALUE.

    It all depends. According to the 48 laws of power, giving gifts is more likely to get you something in return. As long as that intention is kept hidden from the other person.

European guys that make these citypaper hot spots look like a bunch of fuckin pansies. Ive worked with guys that have run in places that you cant get into for 6 months. Yes, its another world to work in, let alone eat there. All agree its not chilis. But I agree with CH, the status signaling is what drives this often very good food to be overpriced and not worth it compared to flying to another country and enjoying the real deal. . Yes, we all love good food, but instagrammers and namedropping is what makes this what it is. Man, who the fuck puts their receipt on their social media. So tacky and low class. and i say that as a prole. In my opinion, for most it is not the food, it’s signaling that they are not me lol. That they have great taste and money to burn. Fuck them, except they are why I have a job.

    I make shit money, always in competition with George Soros’ back of the house staff of preppers and sautee cooks, despite non stop 50-60 hour weeks with some tasty overtime Its hard to eat at places like these. I dont, others in the industry do. To each his own.

    slightly o/T Every chef dreams of their own place. My grandmother had a recipe book that was the collected recipes from the revolutionary war period passed down by the Daughters of the Revolution.

        If memory serves, it’s a little cup, maybe about 2″ diameter, and it’s a delicious ice cream sort of thing, but a bit creamier, and the flavor I had tasted like a combo of vanilla, a tad o’ rum, and cinnamon.

        I wish I was still eating it. 😦

      The only people that say that are those that have never worked for tips. Waiters don’t really get paid, the official rate is something like $2/hr. The tip IS their pay.

        even in states that pay the full rate for tipped workers, if you dont tip like 15% at least then you’re a “nazi”

    the main issue for people (like me) that live on suburban (or like) places is logistics. especially in areas that are heavily tough on drink-and-drive (zero tolerance in some areas)

    I know a great italian comedian (Giuseppe Giacobazzi)who did one of his best pieces about this phenomenon.

    He jokes about being (he does not use these exact words) a blue pilled husband.

    Just to give an idea:
    The most cheap element is
    Panna still (9 dollars): just bottled water.

    The most expensive element (85 dollars) is probably (I guess) some white sparkling wine, like prosecco.

    I, as an Italian, would suggest some place where you eat well for 30 euros each. And that just when there is something to celebrate.

    This restaurant is good to stun one potential client for some high profit business.

      Our culture where its gauche to display wealth is highly abnormal and worse encourages virtue signaling . I’d rather people just wore fancy clothes and jewelry instead. Fuck the Puritanism

      Now $400 for a meal is nuts , I could get a decent meal, some craft beer, a clean motel room and a legal prostitute for around that

      One of the best meals I can remember eating was homemade bread, havarti cheese and water after a day of hiking and swimming in Yellowstone. It’s been over 25 years and I can still remember how incredible it all tasted to me at the time.

      Total cost: $5
