We have previously proved that overconfidence — the “irrational” (is it really irrational when it gets you what you want?) belief that you are better than you really are — will bring you more success with women than having a realistic appraisal of yourself. Poon Commandment XI — be irrationally self-confident — was thus validated […]

This is not mine. Jim Bowery, a commenter over at The Inductivist (a blog I occasionally indulge), tells the parable of the smart birds manipulated by the genius birds. I link to it because it is very good in that way parables are supposed to be good: by illuminating ancient and immutable dynamics in human […]

This is what happens when a woman who has passed into sexual worthlessness has to contemplate the stark reality of divorce from a cheating alpha male husband who fathered a child with his mistress, but who still tingles his wife’s tangle.

Sinead O’Connor’s first marriage at age 21: 5 years Sinead O’Connor’s second marriage : 1 year Sinead O’Connor’s third marriage : 8 months Sinead O’Connor’s fourth marriage at age 45: 16 days. Sez it all, really. (The typical benighted SMV trajectory of women is even worse when you consider the quality of men with whom […]
