THE WELL-DESERVED COLLAPSE OF THE ‘GRIFTOSPHERE’

These guys’ whole job is to present something, unfortunately, and I’m just not a presenter. If you ask me a question, I’m just gonna tell you the truth of how it went.1

– Katt Williams, Club Shay Shay

[Author’s Note: This article was scheduled to drop on May 24, 2024. On May 22, Aba and Preach dropped a video stating that the U.S. government is attempting to demonetize and disincentivize Red Pill content creators such as Fresh&Fit, Rollo Tomassi, Rich Cooper, and H. Pearl Davis. I’m torn because I can’t stand these creators and their message. However, I think they are entitled to their opinions, especially ones counter to the mainstream message. Rather than government intervention and deplatforming, which gives these creators an out to victimhood where they’ll inevitably run to Rumble (as discussed below), I wish that people would take a more active role with vetting content creators. When you’re as old as me, you’ve already seen government agencies attempting to ban certain music, violent video games, and restrict TV shows and movies. Rather than government intervention, I believe the solution I list below is more practical and fun. For more information, refer to Aba and Preach’s video.]

[Another update: Demonetization works. “Frog and Fraud” just announced they are putting their “premium content” (a term I used with the highest notes of hyperbole) behind their ‘Kamala Khan Castle Club’ paywall, and raising prices from $17/month to $35/month.2 When a huckster is out of options, first they raise prices, then they threaten to quit, then they evolve the grift.]

I’ve kept my mouth shut on the Manosphere/Male Improvement Space long enough.

I’ve never considered myself a dating coach, love guru, or a marketer of overcomplicated sales funnels, but I wrote for a few of them. As a result, I’ve learned how to sniff out a charlatan with an overcomplicated sales funnel. As I urged in both Herd Immunity books, when you see, smell, or sense fraud, you must call it out. To not call it out is to give tacit approval. Perhaps my perspective is a tad different since I’ve seen the man behind the curtain I left that space when it became painfully obvious that most of the guys are lying to their audience. Nearly all of them were lying about the quality AND quantity of women they were bedding!

This article began as a cut Chapter from Herd Immunity: Societal Deprogramming. I was considering writing a book centered on my dating and relationships after I traveled the world and had many illicit affairs and tawdry romances. However, some guys (one I’ll introduce in this article) are doing it at a higher level than me. If you desire to meet the girl of your dreams or openly seduce many women, you should learn from the guys that are actually doing it, not the ones that espouse theory for clicks, views, and Super Chats.

The Male Improvement Space deserves to die a slow, agonizing death. Not just because the men and women inhabiting it are frauds, cowards, grifters, and hucksters. But because the space itself shifted from one of action to one of theory and profiteering off men’s misery. Men used to inhabit forums as a colloquy to post receipts, share “game,” and talk war stories. Now these “men” (and I use that term lightly for these goons) get together to gossip, flex on low-value hoes for clout, and regurgitate the same tired points. It’s no wonder that their space was infiltrated and co-opted by women who are more adept at garnering attention. You can’t turn far on social media before finding a woman with 50-100k followers telling you she’s cracked the code of male-female interaction and she’ll help you get dates with the best women in your city:

The grifter space, as I outline it, has devolved into sectarian warfare, with each of the tribes/inhabitants calling out the others as frauds:

• The Red Pill
• The Tradcon/Tradthot Grifters
• The Purple Pill (Pick-Up Artists)
• The Black Pill, Incels, and VolCels
• The MGTOW/Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs)

The reality is, they’re all wrong. It’s not about “game.” It’s not about lying to women, faking dating photos, Instagram grids, flexing Lambos, or even trafficking girls into Romania and making them webcam for you. It’s about having the balls to drop the bullshit and talk to women in real life.

[Addendum: I use the term ‘grifter’ many times throughout this piece, so before I get too far ahead of myself, I’ll define this term. There’s a bit of looseness as one man’s grifter is another man’s life coach/guru/surrogate father figure. For the sake of this article, I’ll use this easy four-tiered distinction as defined by the How Money Works YouTube Channel:

A good grift requires people to believe four things:

1. People need to believe it’s credible
2. People need to believe it will give them wealth or a better life
3. People need to believe it will be easy, and
4. People need to believe that the grifter has a secret to making it all work.3]

Before I begin, I want to state again that even though I wrote for a few in the past, I’m not a Pick-up artist, dating coach, love guru, or anything of the sort. Other than the Herd Immunity books, I’ll give you one source that I’ve used (and am still using) to better my life. I’m just a man with two-and-a-half decades of dating experience who made the conscious choice to deprioritize women while still availing myself to a plurality of options. When you abandon this garbage space full of Doomsday peddlers and make the decision to judge women solely based on your life experiences, you see the dating realm with new eyes. The only way to build this filtering mechanism is with reps. No amount of books, message board posts, or YouTube livestreams will help you meet women. Continuing to inhabit this space and be persuaded by these frauds is perilous to your success with women and your bank account.

My thesis is threefold:

1. The Male Improvement Space and their “guru” talking heads are deliberately misleading men.
2. It’s done purposely for profit. And,
3. These frauds will continue to do so until people bully them off their platforms and back into the shadows of obscurity where they belong.

If you have fallen into one or more of these spaces in your life and believed the lies they sold you, you should be upset. If you’re still investing time and/or money in these spaces, I challenge you to weigh the evidence empirically, check everything they claim, check everything I claim, and make your own intelligent, well-reasoned decision.

I have no overpriced course or boot camp to sell you. [buy my books, please. I’m so hungry!!!] The only thing I want for you is for you to un-fuck your life and your faulty beliefs regarding women, to find your balls and backbone, and to meet women in real life. But until that point comes, let’s have some fun ripping on these losers!

The Estrogen Pill

Hey Samantha—don’t take the red pill!4

– Jeff, Grandma’s Boy

Before Andrew Tate used a pyramid scheme to hijack TikTok, most men found the Manosphere, particularly the Red Pill, due to a negative experience. A painful breakup, divorce/custody battle, or physical and mental trauma are the largest reasons. My experience with the Red Pill community was no exception. Years of blindly following this garbage turned me from a man who enjoyed having women in my life to being adversarial, distrusting, and contemptuous of women. The men in this community use the Red Pill allegory of The Matrix to represent opening their eyes to the truth of female nature. A couple of these nerds even went back to school to get a degree in Evolutionary Psychology (EP) to gain some “appeal to authority” fallacy. However, As Darren Allen wrote in 33 Myths of the System, all psychology is a myth, especially evolutionary psychology:

Psychologists refuse to draw evidence about the nature of psychological truth—consciousness—from the only direct source they can ever have of it; their own conscious awareness of their own lives, which is why they have nothing meaningful to say about sanity. The objectivity they rely on…is a sham, a monumental fraud, based on the ceaseless diagnosing, classifying, naming, categorizing, quantifying, and measuring of behaviour, upon which they invent the fictional medical categories they call mental “illnesses.”5

Of the four main Red Pill patriarchs (RooshV, Pook, and Roissy), only Rollo Tomassi exists still in the space. Rollo is an interesting character, and if you’ve never read or seen his work, your life is better off. Rollo has written five books and maintains his blog, The Rational Male, as well as his own YouTube channel, in case you were curious about this character. The truth is Rollo’s words carried more gristle when he was an anonymous denizen of the SoSuave forums. He was foisted upon us when he aligned himself first with Anthony Johnson of the 21 Convention. This unholy alliance was instrumental in getting more eyeballs on himself and this space. Rollo and Johnson split and dissolved their partnership, but the cat was already out of the bag, and Rollo had a new platform to unleash his nonsense.

The problem with Rollo being “The Godfather” of the Manosphere is the same problem I’ll discuss with the majority of the Male Improvement Space: he’s a keyboard warrior. Rollo doesn’t live in real life and neither does his theory. As such, he suffers from a paradox of practice: he tells his male readers to do things he has never, nor will ever do. According to The Irrational Male: The Case Against Rollo Tomassi and author Boaz:

Rollo has been married for over 20 years and has not seen another woman’s real-life vagina since the nineties. Hence his sexual and romantic experiences are non-existent. Rollo’s “Red Pill praxeology” is primarily based on philosophical discussions in online forums. Philosophizing in the virtual world is not the same as participating in genuine life relationships with flesh and blood human beings. His wife is not the only woman in the United States or the world. His own experience with one woman does not represent all men’s experiences with women everywhere on Earth.

Rollo’s “praxeology” about women’s nature is not backed by scientific and empirical evidence. Rollo rarely provides documentation from authoritative sources from any academic community in biology, evolutionary psychology, cultural anthropology, sociology, and economics to defend his worldview. When not relying on his “praxeology” of “loose science”, Rollo intentionally steals other people’s academic work without attribution. He consistently and dishonestly mangles the research and hides it behind misnomers like “hypergamy,” “solipsism,” and “female imperative,” then lies, falsely claiming he just “connected the dots.”6

Boaz uses “praxeology” in quotes because it’s one of Rollo’s catchphrases; one of many he uses incorrectly. In true pseudointellectual fashion, Rollo likes to cherry-pick words, definitions, and ideas and bend them to fit his stilted view on relationships. Everyone has a quasi-solipsistic view of the universe—we interpret reality through our experiences. This is why empathy is so important. It keeps us from assuming every woman we meet is an opportunistic shit-heel that will cheat and/or leave us as soon as a better option presents itself as the majority of losers in this space do.

Say what you want about Rollo, but you gotta piss a lot of people off to have someone write an entire book debunking your life’s work. Rollo makes it easy to hate him with pseudo-intellectualism and condescension of anyone who disagrees with his pet theories regarding female sexual nature.

Stated again with emphasis, Rollo uses many big words he doesn’t understand. Psychologist Shawn T. Smith, author of The Tactical Guide to Women and Gatekeeper disagrees with Rollo’s definition of hypergamy:

I’ll admit, I’m sniping at low-hanging fruit here. These are some of the worst examples of red-pill writing. These guys take scraps of ideas and personal experience and cobble them together into something that’s sometimes pretty irrational. But I’m starting with this low-hanging fruit because it’s the lowest common denominator. This stuff is out there in droves. It’s in videos, essays, forums, and comment sections. The ideas get recycled and repeated endlessly.

A cynical person might say there are a lot of guys out there who got dumped and they’re looking to blame some factor outside themselves. I don’t want to start there because I don’t think it’s entirely true. Plus, I try never to start with a conclusion.

So let’s start with the question I’ve been wrestling with for the last few months: Does red-pill hypergamy theory explain behavior? Does it predict the decisions women make once they’ve entered a relationship? I have no doubt that hypergamy influences what women find attractive. It undoubtedly affects the relationships they choose. But does it predict things like cheating? Monkey-branching? Divorce? I can’t logically say that it doesn’t, but beyond men’s self-reported anecdotes. I can’t find much evidence that it does.7

Even though Rollo has his bachelor’s degree in psychology, other psychologists won’t co-sign his cherry-picked view of hypergamy. What about Rollo’s other favorite word—solipsism:

This following one is from his Iron Rules of Tomassi chapter, where he says, “Women’s solipsism prevents men from realizing men would even have a differing concept of love than how a woman perceives love,” and so because of women’s innate solipsism they can’t help… and so fundamental to female nature, according to Rollo, is this solipsism. Solipsism is fundamental to female nature. It doesn’t matter where or how you were raised, that’s always going to be fundamental to female nature.

On top of that, you couple solipsism with hypergamy, which is always looking for your next best option, or your best option as a woman in terms of a mate for a man, women are always going to be hyper-focused on trying to achieve the best man possible by any means necessary, because they are innately solipsistic, that’s their number one drive being hypergamous so they’re always going to go after that no matter what…8

Rollo is so delusional in his cult-like status, that any time someone critiques his life’s work or dissuades men from joining this parasitic cult, he goes live from his guitar room for a five-hour sperg-a-thon. During these epic tantrums, Rollo talks in circles, begs for Super Chats, and challenges that his work saves lives:

Until you can show me you’re taking guns out of people’s mouths, you can go fuck yourself! That’s why I’m pissed off. That’s why I’m done with this shit… Disingenuous bullshit because they don’t have a counter, or they’ve got to make up and fabricate something that you didn’t say or make you out to be something that you aren’t… and do you know what the net result of that is? Is that guys are hurting; guys die, because of you! Because of this shit! That’s why… How many of those guys die because of your strawman shit…9

That’s a 50-year-old man having a full-on meltdown because someone had the temerity to question his cherry-picked view of female nature. Before Rollo claims the moral high ground regarding saving men’s lives, he should go read what his critics and detractors are saying about the horseshit he’s peddling on the r/ExRedPill subreddit. He’s not the only grown man in the space who masquerades as an ‘alpha male’ while having outbursts on camera. It doesn’t matter that Rollo worked in the liquor industry observing shot girls, it doesn’t matter that Rollo’s daughter talked to him about the boys in her class. Rollo hasn’t dated a new woman in over 25 years. All of his observations are cherry-picked strawmen and any criticism of his work results in him crying “strawman” against his detractors. The space is full of “dork-ass losers” that don’t understand female nature, and wouldn’t know what to do with a beautiful woman if one were interested:

Here’s the real Red Pill: many of these “alpha males” would crap their pants if forced to cold-approach a beautiful woman. However, for argument’s sake, let’s say the red pill is correct—they did all the research and they’ve cracked the code on EP and intergender dynamics. If that’s the case, wouldn’t these “alpha males” be dating the best-looking women in their cities? I’d like to think so… Nope. Credit to John Anthony Lifestyle for calling out many of these frauds for dating/marrying ugly women, yet still claiming to be pussy-killers. In his video, he shows off the ugly women that fraudsters such as Rollo Tomassi, Rian Stone, and Todd V., are getting with their theories.10

[Author’s Note: I appreciate the work John Anthony did when he came on the scene of calling out frauds and roasting PUAs, dating coaches, and other would-be Casanovas. I don’t use his dating methodologies, but as a roaster and a shit-talker, I respect his work.]

One thing all these “alpha males” seem to ignore is that the ‘Red Pill’ of The Matrix fame is an estrogen pill. It’s ironic that these men who hate women, blame feminism for the fall of Western civilization, and claim to be experts in female nature all lean on an allegory created by two trans women 25 years ago.11 Food for thought… It shouldn’t surprise you that the Red Pill is an estrogen pill. All the proof you need is watching “Godfather” Rollo’s and “Punisher” Myron Gaines’ meltdowns to see the estrogen flowing:

Peak masculinity from two titans of the space! I’ll roast these clowns later, but it’s funny these dorks equate “going Frank Castle” with screaming at some e-skank from Brickell. With his feminine histrionics and Muslim heritage, Myron is more Kamala Khan Miss Marvel than the Punisher—complete with those girlish legs

Even if Rollo were a paragon of excellence, cited his sources, and was out in the field cold-approaching women daily, he’s created a monster within the space. Because the Manosphere is a grift, complete with its books, courses, and seminars, these goofballs all take turns co-signing each other. When they aren’t busy going on each other’s shows blowing smoke up each other’s asses, they’re not-so-secretly ripping off each other’s work and passing it off as their own. Content creators such as Modern Life Dating have ripped entire courses from both the living and the dead!14 As a former contributor to the Return of Kings message board, Donovan Sharpe consistently rips off RooshV and stole Womanese from Pook!

Rian Stone “wrote” a book about frame and praxeology [more on that later]. The two autistic weirdos Fresh & Fit rip off everyone’s content, never give credit, and talk out of both sides of their mouth, while impregnating every e-thot in Dade County.15 I’ll give Boaz the final word on The Manosphere grift:

I agree with Rollo that many people rip off his snake oil to profit off gullible men in the Manosphere. He alludes to this in the back of his books. It is sad because all the copycats are shamelessly plagiarizing his pseudo-intellectual quackery.

I doubt they have spent any time reading his “literature” outside from swiping points here and there, usually stolen from secondary and tertiary Manosphere grifters, who stole from Rollo, to begin with.

The Manosphere is not lighting the world on fire with its manly integrity. This seems to be a trend in the Manosphere because dating coach and author Allen Roger Currie and image consultant Kevin Samuels get ripped off left and right. There is nothing manly about stealing other people’s work and profiting off it…

Perhaps the Manosphere should be renamed the “Kleptosphere” because that is what it is.16

[Author’s Note: RIP to Allen Roger Currie and Kevin Samuels]

This space does nothing to end the socially perceived war between the sexes, and I’m cheerfully watching its’ collapse from the sidelines.

Former PUA and Red Pill patriarch RooshV’s evolving the grift mirrors many in the space—transitioning from pick-up artist, to message board denizen, to red pill theory espouser, to Tradcon/God-pill initiate.17 Once the Red Pill theorist and dating coach faces backlash or gets deplatformed, they seamlessly transition (as I am now) into the next grift.

The “Based” Pill

Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.18

– Eric Hoffer, The Temper of Our Time

Even worse than the Red Pill grift is the dork who gets deplatformed or receives heavy pushback and adopts the appeal-to-political audience grift. When the well runs dry on dating advice, just do as the other grifters have done before you: embrace the Tradcon/Tradthot grift. Like many sects of the Male Improvement space, this is one embraced by male and female grifters alike. Usually, a content creator says something stupid, gets banned, deplatformed, or demonetized, cries foul, complains their free speech rights have been violated, and is adopted or championed by the “free speech” grifters. I don’t need to discuss politics, as Herd Immunity dictates that you abandon dogma. However, for these lazy content creators when one grift closes another grift opens.

When his dating coach grift began to lose steam, Pat Stedman shifted his content to the political Grift. Aside from a shared disdain for Rollo Tomassi’s spergations, I have nothing in common with Stedman. Another wannabe womanizer who learned he got more eyeballs by pandering to half the country via politics. It doesn’t bother me that Stedman wants to sell a $700 “masterclass” on dating and relationships.19 It doesn’t bother me that he wanted Trump to win the 2020 Presidential election, but it does bother me when he absolves guilt and responsibility for his actions. Like many other Tradcon LARPers, Pat Steadman was present and live-Tweeting at the January 6^th Capitol riot. Steadman was arrested and faced jail time for his involvement.20 Did he take it on the chin like a man? Nope, he cried to his followers about how much of a victim he was and set up a GiveSendGo to raise money for his legal fees. People were stupid enough to contribute almost $56k, despite Stedman begging for over $200k on Twitter.21 According to his GiveSendGo write-up:

On June 9th I was found guilty for non-violent charges related to January 6th. On September 8th, I was sentenced to 4 years in prison.

I am the primary breadwinner in the family, and the father of two young children – Penelope (age 3) and Michael (age 1). Our savings have been depleted as a result of legal expenses, which currently stand at $223,000 (after donations outside of the platform).

If you are able, please consider donating to my legal defense fund to help reduce this burden on my family.

Your contributions and prayers are very much appreciated.

If you would like to read about the arrest and my story, please see the following article: https://patstedman.com/202348/january-6th/22

In reality, Stedman is a tool and his wife and kids deserve better! If Pat didn’t want to serve four years behind bars, perhaps he shouldn’t have left his family at home to go play pretend patriot and pander to other political weirdos. When I called him out on his Twitter, the coward did what all cowards do—blocked me. Another paragon of masculine excellence:

It’s not hard to find male political grifters, but since this article focuses on both genders, let’s make fun of the female interlopers as well.

It shouldn’t surprise the men in this space that women wish to get in on the political discussion. After all, more women are running for public office. Why wouldn’t more women become based Tradthots, Red-Pilled, or dating coaches? Lauren Southern, Lauren Chen, Rachel Wilson, Isabella Riley Moody, Lady Alchemy, and many more…Hell, when I was writing in the dating space, two of the biggest contributors were Marnie Kinrys (aka the Wing Girl) and Kezia Noble. Women have been chasing that based-buck for two decades now.

Perhaps the most egregious in my eyes is Mikhaila Peterson. Out of all these “based chicks,” I think Mikhaila is the worst because of her proximity to the mainstream. Her father going on The Joe Rogan Experience was bad enough, but because of the Petersons’ claims that the carnivore diet fixed their health issues, Mikhaila had to go on as well. I’d like to thank Joe Rogan for unleashing his pantheon of pseudo-intellectuals on us: the Weinsteins, Lex Friedman, Graham Hancock, and Christopher Ryan to name a few. However, the Petersons, particularly ‘Mikooky’ takes the carnivore cake. If you read my Tao of Mikey Gouffett article you’ll remember that I found Red Bar Radio due to her Lion’s Lair scheme:

https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/mfpzzHB_XoA]?rel=0&autoplay=0&showinfo=0&enablejsapi=0

23

It’s funny that Mike was the first one to not only call out Mikhaila for her nonsense but was one of the first to rip on Andrew Tate as well.24

I was in Mikhaila’s free Facebook group dedicated to the carnivore diet when she dropped her $600 Lion’s Lair scam. I immediately called bullshit and left. You don’t need to pay $600 to be told to eat beef and salt. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that vegetarians/vegans are dogmatic weirdos while simultaneously praising the carnivore/paleo nutjobs. Anyone who’s dogmatic about food should be removed from society and placed under watch for the good of humanity.

[Ignore my two articles shitting on Sushi and Seltzer, please]

What bothers me most about this weirdo family wasn’t their masquerading as experts, their PR handlers booking them everywhere, but that they’re liars. Just like other political grifters, they’re greedy opportunists who pretend to have their audience’s best interests in mind. No, they want an easy career, book tours, and lifetime access to the cult of personality. If you don’t believe me, follow them on Instagram and look at their pictures.

Mikhaila deliberately downplayed a Lyme disease diagnosis to her audience because she was in full throes of her Lion’s Lair sales pitch. One of the key components of Lyme’s Disease is that some symptoms are intermittent—they disappear and reappear, particularly joint pain and stiffness.25 She brushed her Lyme Disease diagnosis aside faster than her first husband/baby daddy:

Thank God Red Bar was on the case! When you’re trying to sell a $600 meat group to your paypigs, you have to sell them the lie that meat cured your autoimmune disorder and your joint pains/arthritis. You can’t tell them that your autoimmune disorder goes into remission intermittently. Keep in mind as a result of the carnivore diet, her father went into 25 days of impending doom and sleep deprivation after drinking a glass of apple cider.27 This is the same family that had to fly to Moscow to put Papa Peterson into a medically induced coma because he got addicted to benzodiazepines.28 I guess the family should re-read Patriarch Peterson’s books and “clean your room, bucko!” Instead of cleaning her room, Mikhaila used her pay pig money to get tons of plastic surgery and fleeced a member of her Lion’s Lair into marrying her and knocking her up. How can the Peterson family be an example of the Tradcon LARP when they sold their daughter into the cult of personality, allowing Mikhaila to slut it up on Instagram while she has multiple kids from multiple baby-daddies? Oh well, at least she got her Lion Layer makeover:

No discussion of female Red Pill/Tradthot grifters is complete without mentioning the pearl that is H. Pearl Davis aka PearlyThingz. Pearl is the golden lolcow just keeps on giving. Imagine the most shocking stuff that Andrew Tate, Fresh & Fit, and Rollo Tomassi could ever say, but it’s coming out of a tall, ugly, awkward, trust-fund girl—kind of the bizarro Taylor Swift, but less likable. Because I have zero emotional attachment to the space, I get to sit back and laugh at the stupid things she posts just for a reaction. I also get to laugh at all the men in the space who hate her because she gets more eyeballs than they do, while she steals their talking points verbatim. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say it’s a meme account.

Pearl suffers from the same “do as I say, not as I do” paradox of practice as her male Red Pill counterparts. Like many morons in the space, Pearl has parroted the “EP” chestnut that “men value purity, youth, [and] beauty;” all of which she’s not.29 She chastises women for not being traditional or feminine, yet she’s built like a barrel keg and dresses in clothes that could double as Hefty bags.30

Pearl claims women should be young and virgins, but she’s had two ex-boyfriends who kicked her to the curb, and she didn’t wait for marriage, either.31 Standard Red Pill double-speak. There are too many videos and reactions about her to cite. You could spend months going down this rabbit hole. Thanks to her “evolution” into Red Pill and “Tradthot” talking points, Pearl’s finally getting all the attention she never got when she was younger because she’s neither clever nor attractive. If you wish to dunk on modern women, be my guest. They make it so easy, even other women turn on their gender. However, watching these “based” chicks talking politics, dating, and intergender dynamics because it gets them attention or because they think they’ll meet a husband is sad. Where Mikhaila was able to coast on her father’s coattails into fame-whoring, Pearl still isn’t married, still isn’t attractive, and those fertility windows are closing fast!

YouTuber j aubrey did his research and brought receipts. In his 90-minute video, “The Tragic Tale of JustPearlyThings | The Un-Pickable Pick-Me,” he does a deep dive into Pearl’s entire past, detailing her early YouTube life as a feminist and her transition into Red Pill rage-bait: “ [Only] the difference between Pearl and her contemporaries is that she, if you haven’t noticed, is a woman—a token of femininity floating across a vast sea of testosterone, yearning desperately for a crumb of credibility, even if it means existing to attack and demean her own group. Which is a long way of saying, ‘Pearl isn’t like the other girls…because she’s worse!’”32 Aubrey continues, “By feeding into the biases and delusions and biases of the most annoying people on the planet, Pearl gets to go viral on Twitter, book prime-time television interviews, sell painfully uncreative merch, and produce some of the laziest, unedited content I’ve seen in my life.”33 The sad part of Pearl’s “pick-me” grift is that she’s finally getting all the attention she craves, but from all the wrong men, and for all the wrong reasons.

No self-respecting man wants to marry a “based chick.” As Thomas Bayne wrote in his book Layers:

The BASED GIRL has gone full circle, she has been exposed to so much, she has met, dated and fucked so many guys that she has effectively achieved her ultimate goal of becoming one of them…

This is what these based girls are attempting, they think that if they appear to think just like those men, they will lure them into their trap, them thinking the girl is a good, proper girl and take her seriously, maybe even settle down with her, but there is one missing piece…

WHERE DID SHE GET THIS INFORMATION FROM?

…Once she saw she could get clout behaving like this, she was hooked, now she is even monetizing it and there are thousands of guys in her DMs, giving her a daily dose of attention…34

Sad.

Speaking of sadness, this brings me to my next group of charlatans. This cadre of socially awkward nerds and marketers are so deathly afraid of being themselves, that they have to invent gambits and ruses to harass women in public. I’m referring to the pick-up artists.

Pick-Up “Autists”

Jack Jericho: May I ask you another question? What do you think of a perfect stranger coming up to you on the street and giving you a rose?

Randy Jensen: I think with an opening like that, there’s nowhere to go but down.

Jack Jericho: Never underestimate the powers of strangers buying flowers.35

– The Pick-Up Artist

Dating coaches and pick-up artists (PUAs) are slightly ahead of their Red Pill counterparts because they’re out in the trenches talking to women. They’re pounding the pavement. They’re not just sitting behind a computer spouting female hatred and cherry-picked statistics for SuperChats. Or so they’d have you believe…

Nearly every dating coach and PUA is an awkward dork who got into the industry as a cash grab, selling you a lifestyle with paid models and photo shoots. I’ve mentioned this before, but I worked briefly behind the scenes, writing for a few PUAs. The vast majority of them are socially-awkward weirdos, alcoholics, and cokeheads in real life and girls don’t want anything to do with them. In addition, many of them are marketing nerds or hire copywriters to write their sales letters and advertising material. In Herd Immunity: Societal Deprogramming I told you to become a lifelong student of influence to safeguard yourself from scammers. In the Information Age, the average “hustle porn” acolyte with a little bit of money uses it to position themselves as an expert in their niche—fitness, entrepreneurship, and dating are three of the most crowded. Why? They’re the three biggest pain points for the average man.

Most guys who claim to be pussy-slayers, dating coaches, and pick-up artists have less than a triple-digit lay count. Now, before we continue, is it the be-all, end-all for the average guy to have been with over one hundred women? No. However, there is no tangible way you can understand seduction or claim you have a foolproof system (as many do) without putting in the reps. I have multiple friends who have slept with over 100 women, and none of them are on social media masquerading as dating coaches. They work their jobs or are independently employed, and then they enjoy hooking up with girls. They have no desire to take money from guys who feel that they need routines and tricks to sleep with women.

This is why I laugh when these PUAs say they go into Colombia and are pulling “hard-9s” on the first date. I’ve dated two Colombian women and I have a friend currently living there—these script-reciting payasas aren’t getting hard-9s. Colombian women are ruthless and will test your balls constantly. On top of that, they all know white guys come into their country with a little bit of coin and think they’re ballers. So if they have to spend time with these dorks, they’re gonna get as many free meals out of them before they leave them with blue balls. The average PUA/backpacker thinks a pro photoshoot and a couple of canned lines will turn them into Mr. Worldwide. If you’re a geek in your hometown, you’re a geek everywhere. Without the reps, your inexperience at home turns you into a target on the international stage.

But don’t take my word for it–look at the most prominent scam organization of the dating/PUA niche: Real Social Dynamics (RSD). Look at their coach roster, guys like Tyler Durden, Papa, and Derek, and tell me they’re prolific womanizers. Derek has since re-branded himself as Derek Moneyberg and has evolved his grift into business coaching/masterminds. However, he’s not the only one. You can go on YouTube and search [dating coach] + scam and thousands of hits populate. More hits would pop up, but grifters like Derek issue false copyright strikes and threaten legal action if you make videos about them. As I discussed in the previous section, when one well dries up, you simply evolve the grift.

After all the creepy virgins gave these frauds money, some of them paid $20,000 for a set of 4 boot camps and DIDN’T get laid once, they had to turn tail and masquerade as business and personal development coaches. The reason many young men don’t get laid or have a girlfriend is that they’re weird. Sadly, paying $5,000 to attend a boot camp when you stand around with other socially awkward men and scream and chant won’t turn you into Casanova. But as I said with the Red Pill guys—if you have no solid masculine role model to learn healthy relationships and social cues, these guys can fake it well enough to separate you from your piggy bank. The truth is most “dating coaches” and PUAs only have or had a business because they figured out to sound just smart enough to trick sexually frustrated men.

One of my favorite confirmation biases regarding how shady these pick-up losers are was the infamous appearance of RSD Julian (Julian Blanc) on CNN.36 I can’t stand CNN or Chris Cuomo, but I enjoyed watching him take this poseur to task over his inflammatory comments and actions. In Julien’s defense, they edited the video to make him look like a bigger idiot than he is, but what do you expect from CNN? Piers Morgan did the same thing to Pearly—just ask them a few directed questions and let them expose themselves.  The problem is that the average guy doesn’t want to put in the reps. Any time you open social media or YouTube some dork posing as a dating coach appears, telling you he knows the pain you’re feeling and for a nominal fee, will sell you a guaranteed system to end this pain forever.

The truth is approaching women will always be a numbers game. Any dating coach, love guru, or pick-up artist who tells you, “Buy my course/eBook/seminar/private coaching, and you will be able to seduce any woman you want,” is full of shit. Period. Many guys never seduce five percent of the women they approach, and these marketing dorks make you think they’re pulling fifty, seventy, or even ninety percent. Reformed-PUA-turned-money-guru Adam Lyons is claiming he has a 100% Close Rate.37 You can’t make this shit up! Yeah, it’s easy to claim that when you pay models and film fake infields, you nerd!

Because most men are so inexperienced with women, they fall for this bullshit. Again, I got into PUA (and later the Red Pill space) because of a bad breakup. When the love of your life treats you like shit, cheats on you, or fully emasculates you, it hurts. You’d do nearly anything to make that pain go away. These master manipulators’ ads are running around the clock, always looking for new sheep to shear. Fortunately, you need to add anything to your routine. You need to remove the routines.

The problem with this nonsense is that it’s counter-intuitive to how to build relationships with women. These guys think that by making up lines, inventing a character, or acting like a goofball for women’s amusement, they’re getting closer to what they want. Go read (or re-read) The Game by Neil Strauss. Mystery had multiple full-blown suicidal meltdowns after he and the love of his life broke up. These are the same guys who tell you not to develop one-itis:

The next day, Mystery was still a wreck. The last time Style saw him depressed—before Mystery’s mom and sister checked him into a psychiatric ward—Mystery had been catatonic. This time was different: Rather than being void of emotions, Mystery was overcome by them, to the point of convulsing.

Style determined that he should get Katya and Herbal out of Mystery’s sight:

1. Style asked Herbal to refrain from seeing Katya until Mystery was more stable, and Herbal agreed. 
2. Style asked Katya to move out of Project Hollywood for a while, and to stop having sex with Herbal. Katya agreed.

Still, Mystery began talking about suicide, which prompted Style to take him to a mental health center, where Mystery got prescriptions for Xanax and a sleep aid.38

The solution to the pick-up dilemma is simple: you must learn to talk to girls in real life. However, you must also drop all the canned lines, scripts, gambits, and “social dynamics.” These things are nothing but layers that men create rather than socializing as themselves. To cite the man who wrote the book on cold approach:

 Cold approach is by far the most effective method of removing your layers, from what I have seen and I have tried everything…

…You, going to an area where women do not expect to be approached by men, such as a mall or the old town in your respective city, stone sober, approaching women who are like you, stone sober…

Whenever you are stuck, you will have to take a deep look inwards and ask yourself, why am I stuck here?

Do I act differently on the date compared to how I act on the approach?

Do I change my tone when I text the girl compared to when I talk in person?

Do I only go for a specific type of girl and am I blind to other opportunities?

Deep identity level change is a painful process, but it’s going to give back 10 times more than you put into going through it, you will finally be able to start really dating rather than going through the motions of interacting with low quality girls only, avoiding the good ones…39

This is what PUAs and dating coaches can’t teach—by approaching a woman inauthentically, you scare off the best ones. When you approach bar skanks with cornball game, magic tricks, and other gambits, your chances might improve, but to what end? At some point don’t you want a relationship? Do you want to father children with a woman who fell for a corny line and that whom you can’t be yourself? Frankly, it sounds terrible, and it was. Until I got tired of being inauthentic and decided that the Red Pill was the truth about dating and female nature (boy was I WRONG!), I happily bounced from drunk girl reciting lines, mass-spamming openers in bars, and mass-texting “jester-maxxing” lines to get girls to laugh at me The sad part is that sometimes it worked. Which then created confirmation bias that I was, “on the right track.”

Once men realized they’ve been duped and scammed by the PUA and/or Red Pill communities, they become despondent and usually fall into one (or both) of the next two cliques.

Men Following Their Own Way

It is absurd that a man should rule others, who cannot rule himself.40

– Latin Proverb

If two million men follow the advice of a handful of loser divorcees and sexless incels, can they say they’re “going your own way?” If you deliberately choose to have limited (or zero) interactions with women and get your information solely from the internet, are you qualified to argue the juice isn’t worth the squeeze? This is the Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) and Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs) camps.

In their own words, the MGTOW movement “is about recognizing the actual nature of women and then changing nature of relationships between men and women… It is an awareness that can inform how you to choose to live your life and define your self-worth in meaningful terms, and not in terms of one’s ability to get on with women.”41 Another group of men that have little-to-no experience with women trying to explain to their equally inexperienced followers how the real world works. On its surface, I agree with some of their tenants. Some of the Red Pill philosophy is pragmatic and logical. However, the main issue stems from inexperienced, bitter men poisoning the well of male-female relationships by perpetuating half-truths, cherry-picking studies, and other psychologisms.

Nearly all these men urge their followers to never get married and only use women for sex. Instead of dating women, marrying, and fathering children, they opt to take their ball and go home. Many of these men are divorced, lost visitation privileges with their child(ren), and have been dealt a shitty hand. However, most of these men refuse to accept responsibility for their terrible dealings with women. It’s convenient to blame women and feminism for the state of modern relationships, just state, “all women are like that,” a cope that allows vengeful men an excuse to never take the bat off their shoulders. No one said you had to get married or father children, but choosing to never date because you might get hurt is cowardice. My father chose the wrong woman twice, lost visitation of his only child, had a heart attack, lost his job, was forced to move in with his sisters while he rebuilt his life, and still married a third time.

Since many of these men have minimal dealings with women, when they do receive female attention, it’s nearly always from a low-value female. It’s easy to blame OnlyFans, male simping, and gold diggers for ruining male-female relationships. Yes, western culture promotes female promiscuity. Yes, women are spoiled for choice. Yes, Western society is vehemently pro-women regarding marriage, divorce courts, and custody hearings. No, women don’t want to date, marry, or have children with soft, cowardly men. Again, no one says you must marry or father children. However, choosing to avoid women altogether is a sad, miserable life and a cope.

Why let a few bad apples ruin the bunch? When I saw Western culture as becoming more promiscuous, rather than blaming female nature, monkey-branching, or hypergamy, I took full advantage of it. If I choose to get married or father children later in life (as some MGTOW rationalists offer), I can avail myself of that option. When you only consume “women ain’t shit but bitches and hoes” content, those are the only types of women you’ll see. This is the main reason I chose to leave the space. How many YouTube live streams hosted by bitter divorcees and anonymous avatar talking heads can you attend and listen to the same hamster-wheel rationalizations before it only serves as confirmation bias?

Amber Heard and Jada Pinkett-Smith are terrible human beings, but does that mean no man should ever get married? If you do your research and conclude that marriage, long-term cohabitation, and child-rearing aren’t for you, then come to that conclusion of your own volition. Don’t let some butt-hurt divorcee or anon incel that’s had sex once because he paid for a prostitute make that decision for you.

If you choose not to date, have long-term relationships, get married, or father children, that’s your choice to make. If you haven’t dated much and you allow yourself to become a target for a predatory female, you’re just as much to blame as she is. By telling young men to avoid dating, these movements create a wider schism between the genders. Even though I urge men to deprioritize women, I don’t urge men to engage in long bouts of celibacy or “monk mode.” Quit listening to these basement-dwelling, incel, virgin-adjacent keyboard warriors telling you, “The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.” Most of these clowns couldn’t find an orange to squeeze in a Florida grocery store.

The Black Pill’s Obsession With Male Beauty

It’s hard to be humble

When you’re so fucking big

Did you ever meet a sexier male chauvinist pig?42

― Robbie Williams, Handsome Man

For a group of men who claim to be heterosexual, the Black Pill has an unhealthy obsession with the male body. These guys believe getting women is predicated solely on looks–height, jawline, good genes, and musculature. According to them, Chad Thundercock’s bed is never empty because of his impeccable looks. Meanwhile, they’ll never have relationships or marry women because they lost the genetic lottery. They see themselves and many other men as the sewer people in Futurama. If they’d stop hiding behind an avatar, they’d learn that many of them aren’t even ugly!

Like many of the other tribes in this loser space, most Black Pill men hide behind an anonymous screen name and avatar. Many of them cope by stating, “I don’t want to get doxed because of my job, etc.,” but don’t get it twisted. They chose to be anon because they have low self-worth. They refuse to put their theories behind their real name and face, which makes them cowards in my book. These same goons who believe sexual attraction is solely looks-based will turn around and chastise any man who attempts to maximize his sexual market value by dressing well and lifting. These doll-copulating virgins accuse men of “looks-maxxing” or “jester-maxxing” for female validation. The truth is, I dress like a slob and I don’t even shower every day. Most of the time, I wear beat-up shorts and a black V-neck. It’s one thing to rip on the “looks-maxxing” or “jester-maxxing” dudes for being thirsty. It’s another thing to believe that a crooked nose, a receding hairline, or being only 5’9” is keeping you from being sexless. Thank God no one told me that when I was 14. However, unlike the Red Pill, PUA, and MGTOW/MRA sects, I’ve had many pleasant interactions with Black Pill denizens. These dudes gas me up more than some of the women I’ve dated!

The best contribution of the Black Pill community has made was calling out the fraudulent dating coaches and Red Pill nerds. I disagree with their opinions on looks and female attraction, but I respect calling out fraud.

The primary issue with the Black Pill is that it is self-defeatist. If you wish to believe that looks play a major role in the courtship process, be my guest. However,  these men overestimate that role. They ignore the role that courage plays because they lack courage. Like many of the other sects of the Male Improvement Space, it’s a group of anonymous computer-dwellers telling all men that they’re too ugly and will never meet women. If you solely use online methods to meet women, you’ll get lost in a sea of average men. When you ignore online methods and meet women in real life, you don’t need to be built a fitness influencer, have a chiseled jawline, or stand 6’5.” Those things help, but some men have these features and still can’t talk to women in real life.

Freudian psychology teaches that life is about possession, aka etiology. In other words, what you have (or don’t have) determines the quality and quantity of mate you’ll receive. The entire Black Pill argument is steeped in Freudian etiology:

Attracting women is about looks => I don’t have these looks => I can’t attract women.

Instead, these men should embrace the Adlerian standpoint of teleology. They may be short, balding, have an ugly face, walk with a limp, or stutter when they speak. However, instead of worrying about being dealt a crap hand and folding, they should seek to better your life through courage. These men aren’t happy in their pursuit of women because they lack good looks, money, or status. They’re unhappy because they lack courage. This dialogue excerpt from The Courage to Be Disliked sums up my argument against Black Pill philosophy:

YOUTH: But, honestly, I do not have the confidence to overcome my inferiority complex. And you might say that that’s a life-lie, but I probably won’t ever be able to break free from the inferiority complex.

PHILOSOPHER: Why don’t you think so?

YOUTH: Maybe what you are saying is right. Actually, I’m sure it is, and courage really is what I am lacking. I can accept the life-lie as well. I am scared of interacting with people. I don’t want to get hurt in interpersonal relationships, and I want to put off my life tasks. That’s why I have all these excuses ready. Yes, it’s exactly as you say. But isn’t what you are talking about a kind of spiritualism? All you’re really saying is, “You’ve lost your courage, you’ve got to pick up your courage.” It’s no different from the silly instructor who thinks he’s giving you advice when he comes up and slaps you on the shoulder and says, “Cheer up.” Even though the reason I’m not doing well is because I can’t just cheer up!43

They chose their ‘looks-based’ life-lie because it’s easier to assign value to what you lack instead of taking responsibility for inaction. It’s cowardly, yet safer, to reject themselves for not having looks or status than to approach and be rejected by women. The Black Pill cope puts men in an untenable situation: If you’re ugly, you’re never going get girls (default to victimhood); if you try to max out your sexual value, you’re “jester-maxxing” for women (default to subordination). Life is not always subject to binarism. Like many facets of life, I veer towards the middle path. I accept that not every woman will find me attractive, and I choose to only focus on the ones that do.

Inceldom is the biggest cope. It’s your right to ignore the biological imperative. It’s your right to say you don’t like women or sex. It’s your right to go “monk mode” and attempt to have amazing accomplishments while deprioritizing sexual relationships. However, you don’t get to claim the moral high ground because women don’t want anything to do with you. “If I can’t play, I’ll take my ball and go home.” You’re a loser. Incels are always anonymous with cartoon avatars and blank photos. Their entire existence is cowardice. Like the Red Pill and Based sects, they’re always online complaining about women and the problems with society. Most times the ones who aren’t getting laid are the ones shouting loudest from the rooftops about how terrible women are.

Quit taking life advice from people who won’t put their names/faces behind their words. They’ve already lost the game in their mind. The  “truth” about male beauty is a cope for them to never try. Instead, they’d rather host five-hour live streams ripping on the other men in the space or analyzing another man’s jaw, height, or hairline. Much like the OnlyFans girls that offer “dick-ratings” to their pay pigs, the Black Pill grifters offer “face-ratings” to depressed men who need confirmation bias of their low self-worth.

Why do you care what another man thinks of your looks? I don’t know about you, but I’m not trying to date men. Especially miserable self-loathing men that can’t get a girlfriend. Do you think these men are qualified to judge your looks? Let’s call spade a spade–if you’re grading men on their looks, that sounds pretty gay to me.

The grifters that sell male beauty products, mastic gum, and Jawzrsize prey on shallow, narcissistic men who need to looks-maxx to gain self-worth. However, the Black Pill apologists who claim attraction is solely looks-based aren’t helping men, either. If you’re ugly, then be ugly. But don’t make excuses for a lack of courage. That’s on you. Sadly, most Black Pill men would rather sit online bitching about their genetics than point the finger at themselves and their sexual hang-ups. If you don’t think an uptick in Black Pill ideology and incels is dangerous for society, i have two words for you: Elliott Rodger.

Alright, time for a little fun before I bring this bus home…

Frauds Exposing Themselves

Are you kiddin’? They used to call me Grifty McGrift. I wrote the book on flimflammin’.44

– Grampa Simpson, The Simpsons

As an internet troll who loves talking shit about grifters, I figured I’ll have some fun roasting these goons. As I’ve alluded to, most times these fools do my dirty work for me and rip each other.

I argued in Herd Immunity: Societal Deprogramming, when seeking answers to your solutions, always vet your Gurus. During quarantine, Andrew Tate took over TikTok with his viral marketing strategies. His endgame with launching Hustler’s University 2.0 and The Real World was not to “expose the Matrix” as he claimed, but to turn men into his own army of paypigs. Men either spent their life savings on the camgirls he controlled or spent it on admission into his War Room Telegram chat. Now the Tate Brothers are set to face a lengthy trial in Romania regarding trafficking, rape, and other sordid activities.

When Rollo Tomassi released his 5^th book: The Rational Male – The Players Handbook: A Red Pill Guide to Game in 2022 I had to weigh in as well. As discussed, here’s a man that according to his own words has been married for over 25 years. So unless he’s running around on that old lady of his, he hasn’t cold approached a woman in almost three decades. No amount of EP, theory, or “game” from the early 2000s would prepare Rollo or his incel readers for the difficulty of talking to women in real life. So it shouldn’t surprise you that this book is 400+ pages of rehashed articles and theory, presented in typical Rollo-circle-jerk logic. Much like the Socialist professors the Manosphere and Tradcons claim to hate, they live in a land of theory. All the theory in the world and $3 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. To this day, Allen Roger Currie and I are two of the most critical of Rollo’s recycled-content-for-cash-grab book:

Keep using those fancy buzzwords like hypergamy, solipsism, and praxeology, Rollo. We’re all very impressed. But what’s worse – Rollo Tomassi or guys like Richard Cooper who built their entire business of copying Rollo for cash?

[Update 7/22/24: Rollo Tomassi has exposed himself as a not-so-secret racist, sperging out behind an alt account. When confronted about it, he took to Twitter to double-down on his stupidity, blocking everyone who calls him out on it. Rollo and his wife of 28 years are also separating. Can’t wait to see him put all that theory into practice and go get some of that “burning, genuine desire” he’s always yammering about in his little guitar cave. Katt Williams was right about 2024: The Reckoning!]

Speaking of Praxeology, another Red Pill nerd fancies himself an author: Rian Stone. The truth is, like Rollo, there isn’t much to say about him or his book. All one has to do is look at him, look at his wife, and see that Rian is another theory-hocker with no real-life practical knowledge. The dude “wrote” a book on frame, and meanwhile, his wife can’t even fit in the frame:

Earlier in the article, I stated that Donovan Sharpe has stolen everything he sells from Pook. Donovan is famous for telling his followers not to wife up single moms, don’t marry “post-wall” women, and not to marry ugly/fat women. Meanwhile, he was secretly married to an ugly, fat, “post-Wall,” single mom and trying to hide it from his followers until Anthony ‘Dream’ Johnson of 21 Studios exposed it.45 Rollo famously tells his followers the same rhetoric, and as I cited above, also married an older “post-Wall” woman after he claimed to bang 40 women in his “Rockstar 20s.”46 Sure, Rollo. I know he wasn’t in Poison or Motley Crue, but a guitarist in a decent band playing the Sunset Strip in the early ‘90s would’ve banged more than 40 women in a year. There were no “Rockstar 20s,” these guys have never been desirable by women, and it’s all a huge grift. If these rockstars showed up to your local watering hole, there wouldn’t be a dry pair of panties in the house.

YouTubers Aba and Preach have dunked on clout-chasers Fresh & Fit so much, they should own a portion of Myron’s real estate profile, since they’re living rent-free in his head. What can I say about Fresh & Fit? One of them is a bitter, try-hard, fake “alpha” loser who has histrionic temper tantrums like a 16-year-old girl; the other lies about all of his accomplishments, has fake press releases, and pretends to be a CEO and rising music star. Meanwhile, he can’t form a sentence and spends thousands knocking up Miami escorts and sugar babies. Role models…

This feud came to a head when Walter Weekes (Fresh) said he wanted to box Preach after the duo made several reaction videos mocking the Miami-based duo. Myron (Fit) jumped in on the smoke, talking shit about Preach’s wife and his home country of Haiti. Preach immediately accepted the boxing match and the sputtering twins deflected, coped, and ran:

47

Anytime someone posts a reaction to Fresh & Fit’s spergations, Myron always challenges them to fight and then backs down like a coward. It’s easy to bully OnlyFans girls around and kick them out while calling yourself, “Frank Castle,” but last time I checked, the Punisher never backed down from a fight. I asked a friend and avid Punisher reader, and to his knowledge, there’s never been an issue where Frank Castle and Daredevil had a podcast and Kingpin called in and trolled them for 20 minutes while they sat there and took the verbal abuse like a bitch.

Everything these clowns say is a deflection. As Aba pointed out over two years ago:

This man’s out here talking about, ‘Don’t pay for box. Don’t pay for box.’ He’s on a website for sugar daddies and sugar babies. Then you come to find out, this man’s talking about, ‘Listen, we want burning desire from ladies.’ Ain’t that what they say? [sic] Right? You want to get their best… Come to find out, this man’s telling girls in the DMs that if they want to come on the platform, they have to fuck. And if they don’t, he gets upset about it and gets all pissy…So wait—you wanna bang a girl that just wants to come on the platform for clout, and you think that’s ‘burning desire?’48

Both Fresh & Fit have been caught numerous times paying for sex and knocking up e-prostitutes on their show.49 Myron has said on record that dancing with women is gay and that alpha men don’t orally pleasure their women.50 Meanwhile, this same dude has had pictures of himself cuddling and kissing on another man. Once again, this fool sells ‘copium’ to his incel audience, arguing that this behavior is common for men who play sports or are in the military.51 Seems like the only ‘burning genuine desire’ Myron has is the almighty grift and the white dude smooching on him in those pics.  Bro, just come out as bisexual and tell the truth that you hate women. You’ll feel better and I’d have more respect for you.

It should surprise no one that the Rollo Tomassi sycophants graduated from the Rational Male school of “Do as I say, not as I do.” These two Rollo/Tate jock-sniffers spend their entire show stuttering, sputtering, and yelling at e-thots they find in Brickell and Coconut Grove, while simultaneously telling guys “Modern women deserve less.” So how does paying dumb women to come on your show bring balance back to men? These morons take men’s money, solicit sex with the same women they chastise, and then proceed to knock them up and force them to get abortions. After they were demonetized from YouTube, they did what every de-platformed grifter does—ran to Rumble and embrace the Tradcon grift. But not before crying real tears about losing their platform on YouTube and blaming it on a political conspiracy.52 This man devolves into temper tantrums and screeching faster than a toddler that dropped its ice cream cone! It dumbfounds me how the Red Pill shills can look into a camera and delude men into thinking they’re saving lives with their content when they know deep down that they’re just doing it for clout and money. If you’re stupid enough to fall for it, you deserve the role models you get.

Earlier in the article, I dunked on women who embrace the Red Pill and TradThot grifts. How about a TradThot grifter dunking on a Red Pill grifter? Before her self-imposed hiatus, YouTuber Brittany Venti went in on both Rollo Tomassi and Pearl in spectacular fashion.

To date, Venti has made a handful of videos showcasing Pearl’s terrible talking points and worse style. When Pearl elicited a female friend and deeply closeted Red Pill coach Troy Francis to take her shopping, Venti pulls no punches ripping Pearl and her would-be fashion expert: “He must think she’s a dumpster because he keeps putting her in trash bags!”53 Red Pill men can’t help men OR women get laid. You’d think with Troy’s past writings about gay sauna parties and nightclubs, some of those gay dudes he was rubbing up on would’ve given him some lessons in style.54

After Venti made a video exposing Rollo Tomassi’s outrage over Margot Robbie starring in Barbie, Rollo went on the offensive, threatening to doxx Brittany with her nudes. The only problem was—Rollo’s “source” was Brittany herself, trolling Rollo and playing into his confirmation bias:

In the process of making my video, I emailed him a fabricated story where I took internet gossip, and twisted all the details to suit Rollo’s confirmation bias on women being evil, manipulative liars…

I wrote in details like me being a gold-digger, emasculating the man, and saying that I am manipulative. Because I knew what he wanted to believe about me, and I knew that his confirmation bias was so strong, that it would overtake his better judgment, if he even has any, that is.55

In the same video, Venti outlines how after her interview with Rollo, Lauren Southern pulled a similar troll on him. Surely Rollo isn’t stupid enough to get tricked by multiple women, right? “George’s informant on Lauren Southern’s pregnancy with Destiny’s child was none other than… Lauren Southern. She emailed him fake documents on her being pregnant with Destiny’s baby and he actually believed it…”56 What’s funny about these women trolling Rollo is that both Lauren Southern and Mikhaila Peterson have had Rollo on their show, and both bested him in debate and made him talk in circles while defending his spurious logic. Peak alpha male!

Remember—this is a man in his 50s, a self-proclaimed alpha male, and “Godfather of the Red Pill,” getting trolled by multiple females. If you’re still listening to this fraud, I don’t know what to tell you. Seek help.

I felt a brief modicum of respect for Venti for going-in on Pearly, Rollo, and Lady Alchemy, but she still chooses to hang out with other grifters like Chrissie Mayr and the Fandom Menace, so I don’t think we’ll be besties anytime soon. But there’s always hope…

The No-Sex Zone

The ‘friend zone’ is like the penalty box of dating, only you can never get out. Once a girl decides you’re her ‘friend,’ it’s game over. You’ve become a complete non-sexual entity in her eyes, like her brother, or a lamp.57

– Ryan Reynolds

With all due respect to Deadpool, I disagree. In my personal experience, there’s no such thing as the friend zone. You’re either in a woman’s sex zone or her no-sex zone. In my estimation, any woman who knows that you’re romantically and sexually interested in her and keeps you around just for your attention, company, your wallet, or what you can provide for her, isn’t your friend. If you’re too much of a pussy to put your desires out on front street, you’re not in the friend zone, you’re in the no-sex zone.

I mention female friends here because it raises another interesting point: I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have female friends. I’ve had a female best friend since 2010. I have many wonderful ladies in my life that help me with nearly anything I ask of them; whether it’s treating me to a meal, bumming a ride, reading a Chapter of my book, or helping me find temporary work. These butt-hurt losers online who tell you to never have female friends or never spend a dime on women are just compensating for being broke losers. Or it’s a smoke-screen because the ONLY way they get laid is by leading with their wallets. More of that, “burning, genuine desire” they preach.

When my mom became the cheerleading coach at my school (and later at a different high school), I instantly became one of the most popular guys in school. I wish my mom still had those pictures of her cheer Xmas party when I was in 8^th grade. Nearly overnight, I had 40 new female friends that all wanted my attention and liked me solely because I was, “Tami’s son.” Many of them wanted to date me for the same reason. My looks, money, status, or “game” didn’t change; just perceived social value. It certainly wasn’t about looks either—I was scrawny and didn’t hit five feet tall until the summer before 8^th grade! I learned the value of having loyal women in my life at a young age and never looked back.

Contrary to what these aforementioned losers whine about, I’ve dated and hooked up with female friends for going on three decades. I’m on good terms with some of my best exes. I have no room in my heart for hatred. So is it really the “friend zone?” It sounds more to me like the “no-sex zone,” and if you keep listening to these grifters, that’s where you’ll stay. These same dorks tell you not to get friend-zoned, don’t surround yourself with females, and only have a male social circle. I don’t know… that sounds pretty gay to me! These are the same people that tell you having female friends is wrong, and then turn around and cope when photos of them kissing and cuddling in bed with men get released:

I don’t know, man. I played a lot of sports. I don’t make it a habit of kissing and cuddling dudes. Maybe if these guys had a few female friends, they wouldn’t need so many latent homosexual activities like rolling around half-naked on the jiu-jitsu mat.

The problem is these dudes were never popular with women, never had female friends, and never had female attention until they got money or clout. So all those years of bitterness and resentment towards women carried over and they had to resort to trickin’ or “game” to get laid. This is why women didn’t want to be in their lives, then or now! Just like the incels sitting around complaining about women never wanting to hang out with them or be their friend. Those women smell it on them and don’t want anything to do with them. It’s like Thomas Bayne alluded to in Layers, if you weren’t cool or didn’t have much female attention in high school, you adopt layers to cope:

The PUA gambits, the Red-Pill EP cope, the Black Pill/Incel female hatred, and the MRA/MGTOW “male apologist” cope are all layers for men who either never got laid in high school or never learned the value of surrounding themselves with “down-ass” females.

If anything, I met fewer quality women when I was doing the PUA and Red Pill shit because I was creepy and inauthentic. When the fake lines and text “jester-maxxing” shit didn’t work, I created more layers by going Red Pill. My playfulness and teamwork-minded views toward women turned into resentment and bitterness. Even though I still had a couple of loyal female friends during these years, I wasn’t “friend-zoned;” I was “asshole-zoned,” just like all the Red Pill talking heads. They got it in their head that women only want to bang assholes, so they let their female hatred turn them into bitter assholes. That’s why these guys are married to/divorced from ugly women. That’s why the younger ones only attract women when they’re trickin’, clout-chasing, or paying to bang club rats/influencers with low self-worth. They don’t understand the value of having loyal women in their lives. Another instance where Katt Williams nailed it:

I’m not a feminist like a feminist would be, but I do believe that there are… In my camp, like, if I had 35 people in my camp… Other than four jobs, I believe that a woman is better at any of them jobs than any man could be.

So, ten of these jobs, no man can work, because I’d rather a female be there. If I gotta smell anybody’s breath, I want it to be hers… What I’m saying is, in a staffing issue, I’m gonna have 75% women just cuz I prefer ‘em. I don’t prefer to hear two guys talking in the corner, I prefer to hear two ladies talking in the corner. I don’t care what they’re talking about, I just prefer that.59

He continues later in the interview:

I’ve always lived with several women… I’ve already told you that I prefer the company of women. So, if I told you that me and a couple dudes on my staff sometimes have to cohabitate, nobody finds a problem with that. Yeah, so, it’s me and three ladies cohabitating because that’s how the business gets done. Like, I don’t want a chef that scratches his nuts while he cooks. No disrespect to these guys that go around with these large, male-only groupings, but… that’s not my episode of Entourage.60

But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what a female friend said when she saw a rogue’s gallery of Money Twitter “hustlers and playboys:

Women are better judge of characters than your boys will ever be. If they can sniff these dorks out just from a picture, imagine how they’re judging you for using cornball lines, jester-maxxing, or flexing on social media.

Stop listening to these butt-hurt losers, stop seeing women as an adversary or an obstacle. Get some awesome women in your life and watch your life change for the better. You’d be surprised how many doors this opens for you. Then maybe you’ll realize the endgame is the end of “game.”

The End of “Game”

…We’re in the endgame now!61

– Dr. Strange, Avengers: Infinity War

Since the endgame for all Red Pill coaches, PUAs, and dating coaches is keeping men frustrated with women and keeping them in their marketing funnels, what is the endgame of “game” itself? We currently have a dating landscape ruined by male thirst, female attention, monetizing sexuality, and other myriad problems that does nothing to bring both genders together. We already have thousands of men AND women marketing their bullshit dating advice which does nothing to end this quagmire. Rates of sexlessness, inceldom, and inter-gender conflict are on the rise.62

The truth is the best way to un-fuck yourself from years of bad information is to abandon it all. Stop consuming garbage content released by prejudiced parties and carve your own path. If you need a mentor in the process, find one who practices what they preach, not one who only preaches. Eventually, you can unlearn all the horrible advice from men who either can’t get laid, are secretly married to ugly women, or lead with their wallets to knock up “prosties.” But it’s a long process. It took me 4 years, nearly the entire authorship of Herd Immunity, to get all these voices out of my head and start meeting women in person the proper way. I don’t think men will ever stop lying to themselves, women, and other men about the future of male-female relationships. Many of these bums marry fat and ugly women and then go on live streams telling their followers that you never stop gaming your woman. It’s strange how attached men become to these canards. If you couldn’t go out today and meet a woman in real life and attempt to get her phone number, you don’t have the right to talk shit about women online. It’s time we stop listening to these losers. I’ve said many times the only way to save Western society is to start bullying frauds and grifters back into obscurity where they belong.

In his book Someday is Today: 22 Simple, Actionable Ways to Propel Your Creative Life, Matthew Dicks urges empathy and forgiveness towards your transgressors.63 So if I don’t feel slighted by this space or the frauds that permeate it, why don’t I just forgive and forget? Some may read my past writings and see me as an orge incapable of forgiveness or empathy. I disagree. A cursory glance at the article I wrote about anime and emotions reveals I’m far more capable of reaching powerful emotions than I originally thought about myself.

The truth is these losers don’t deserve my forgiveness or empathy. They deserve to be called out; they deserve to be bullied; they deserve to be harangued by men and women alike. For a group of men who default to blaming women and feminism at the drop of the hat, many of them resort to name-calling and histrionic temper tantrums when called out. These are your masculine role models?

Matthew Dicks also urges keeping an enemy list: a place where the name of the offending person, business, or organization can be placed until forgiveness, empathy, or revenge can be achieved… This is what my enemies list does for me. Puts these rotten people aside for a time so I can move on with the business of life.64 While my life is too short to keep a list of all the losers I wish to see receive their virtual and real-life comeuppance, I’m more than happy to write this article and watch with schadenfreude as they all get exposed and maybe a few of them serve jail time for misleading the same men they purportedly wish to help. That’s plenty fun for me. So instead of an enemies list, I wrote this article and now I can move on.

I cite this interview too much, but as Katt Williams said in his infamous Club Shay Shay interview: “All people that love the truth gotta be happy if the truth coming out and lies is getting exposed [sic]. That’s just what time it is—2024, folks.”65 There’s a reason I tell my readers to vet their thought leaders in Herd Immunity—just cuz they look like international playboys on social media doesn’t mean that the cops aren’t about to raid their compound and accuse them of trafficking women.

The only way to save male-female relationships is for both genders to be open and honest about what they want. However, this is a pie-in-the-sky fantasy. Short of this, the best way to help mitigate the damage of the Male Improvement Space is for its inevitable collapse. Much like the Black Pill movement was a reaction against the Red Pill grift, and the Red Pill movement was a reaction against the PUA grift, the opportunity for new movements (and new grifts) is ever-present. Money Twitter hucksters constantly use their platform to flex rented supercars, second-hand Rolexes, and Colombian/Filipina prostitutes. Selling “game” is a lucrative business.

The “game” ends when you realize that there is no game—only layers, as Bayne writes. Stop being a pussy and inventing characters, gambits, premises, or excuses. Either go meet women in real life or don’t, but quit giving liars, quitters, shortcut-takers, fake gurus, and other weirdos a platform to spew vitriol and bogus content.

Writing this piece was great therapy for me, but also served as a step in shedding these faulty layers. Even if there’s a negative, pessimistic tone in my writing, I’m happy to see the impending collapse of the Male Improvement Space. It tickles me to see “Red Pill aware” women and female dating coaches getting in on the grift. It can only serve to accelerate the downfall and usher in the next phase of male-female relationships. As I was editing this article, Bumble changed its app structure, no longer forcing women to make the first move.66 Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd also discussed the future of dating vis-à-vis AI as a ‘dating concierge’:

“If you want to get really out there, there is a world where your dating concierge could go and date for you with other dating concierge,” she said.

When the audience chuckled, Wolfe Herd responded: “No. No. Truly.”

“And then you don’t have to talk to 600 people. It could scan all of San Francisco for you and say, ‘These are the three people you really ought to meet,'” Wolfe Herd said. “So that’s the power of AI if harnessed the right way.”67

It sounded like a joke to the audience, but Wolfe Herd said this with a straight face. This is the direction of online dating. It’s hard to tell if she’s trolling or not because Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland did this on Rick and Morty in 2019. In the Season 4 episode The Old Man and the Seat, after Rick tells Jerry not to develop Glootie’s app, Jerry and Glootie develop the dating app ‘Lovefinderrz,’ which was just a ploy to distract humans so Glootie’s species, the Monogatrons, could steal all the water on Earth.68 We already know Nestle is attempting to steal all our water.69 I wouldn’t be surprised if Bumble had some sinister shit in store for humanity once they’re addicted to AI. If anything, it serves as confirmation bias that entropy is real.

All I know is that at 39 years old, I’ve thrown out nearly everything I’ve ever known about dating, relationships, and approaching women. I’m removing my layers while these frauds continue to double- and triple-down on their nonsense. I remain optimistic about the future of male-female relationships. While many naysayers wish to blame feminism, simping, e-cuckoldry, AI “girlfriends” and prejudiced parties poisoning the well, I’ll be out talking to girls and hanging with amazing people in my journey. Okay, enough female blogging for this month!

Quit listening to these smooth-brained “alpha males” and save the pills for the junkies!
