The sexual market is the one market to rule them all. That’s a classic Chateau maxim. But reader Daffyduck thinks there may be evidence of a Current Year contradiction of the maxim. My question to the proprietors is this: if the sexual market is the primary market, why do so many women (the vast majority … Read more

Within these hallowed stony Chateau halls, scribes once labored to define for a general audience the characteristics of the alpha male, the beta male, and the rest of the men who reside somewhere along the SMV (sexual market value) ball curve of male desirability. Due to this enduring confusion about what makes an alpha, I submit … Read more

That’s Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. Photo was taken sometime in the 1970s, I’d guess. As a psychological experiment, its raw unapologetic essence can’t be topped for rudely revealing the fundamental psychosexual difference shaping male and female desire. Both men and women — at least normal, sexually dimorphic men and women and not bitter androgynous … Read more

Here is a photo of a just-married man with his blushing bride. Did you cringe while looking at it? That’s understandable. Her body language drops at least three clues that this marriage is doomed to roll off the divorce disassembly line. He’s leaning into her (and her head is arching away from his kiss). She’s … Read more

Stereotypes don’t materialize out of thin air, and the historical wisdom that one can divine the measure of a man (or a … Read more

Via Mangan (Twatter link: @Mangan150), the reason why monogamy beat polygamy: It all comes down to paternal certainty. Where (beta) men are reasonably assured the kid is theirs, civilization can flourish. Where men have no idea if the kid is theirs or some other (alpha) dude’s, chaos, dysfunction, and indigence reign supreme. Ironically, the incredible … Read more

There’s nothing quite like a sharp semantic shiv that hits a vital. But did you know slurs evolved to serve a social purpose? And that there are sex-based differences in the perception of slurs? We investigated the influence of the sex of the target and the sex of the sender on the judgment of slurs … Read more

In Japan, a burgeoning “fake anime boyfriend” market is capturing the hearts of Japanese women and overseas American women. Since the 90s, Japanese women have been playing otome (“maiden”) games, which allow the player to pursue virtual relationships with several virtual hunks. In the interest of journalism, I spent over $60 flirting with emotionally manipulative … Read more

A naive beta male wonders why there’s a dearth of single men willing to marry the aging spinsters he knows. why don’t I know any single men who could be fixed up with a well-educated woman in her late 30s? Smart people say the stupidest shit sometimes. This seems to be a common situation among … Read more

Bertrand Russell is a patron sadist of Chateau Heartiste for good reason; when he’s on, he’s quite good at cataloguing the ills that befall those cultures which turn their backs to the gods of the copybook headings. Here he is on the welfare state and its corruption of the sexual market: If you got a … Read more
