My goal, in middle age, is to better understand how the world works. While unsentimentally making decisions that reflect these facts. Equitable investments in relationships — even by Jeremy’s pen — do not occur, save with a few unicorns.

V. What Does This Mean?

Per usual, I’m writing too much for a blog format. I will list what I think this means and close.

1. Forget about “love”, as “love” existed when we were 20. “Love” doesn’t exist when one must manage every intersexual interaction, instruct women on being fair, discipline women through direct and indirect means (I use time-out a lot, catch and release, and rural respites). “Love” and risk management are incompatible. All Ton is saying (I think), and I’m saying, is When you say it’s “love”, it sounds like a business; when you say it’s a business, I’m somehow supposed to yet treat it like “love.”

2. “Equitable investment”, as a trope, sounds great. However, when we say at the same time that men must lead, discipline, and simultaneously hedge, there is no possibility of “equitable investment.” It’s really just blue pill window dressing. We’re no longer playing card games in the hunting camp, where everyone honors the same rules, where cheating is met with immediate punishment. We’re playing against the house. Repeat: we’re playing against the house. The house will win if we treat it like a partner in fun, games and profit.

3. Do not underestimate, as 30% of young men intuitively today understand, what it’s like to have your home, children, money and capacity to believe stripped from you by a woman who later chooses scorn over commitments previously made. Ton has rebuilt his balance sheet, I have too; neither of us confuses the company of women with the promise of transcendental intimacy.
