4. If you’re still interested in feminine companionship, there are two rational strategies. a) Abandon “love”, and any expectation of equitable investment. As Jeremy and the rest of us note, WE (the men) are responsible for initiating, investing, and charming a woman, until she’s hooked. Then we can insist that some reciprocity and investment be proffered by the girl. But not until then. b) Watch your ass and hedge your bets. Unless you’re a chump who believes that bad things never happen to good people.
VI. Coda.
If I could speculate, I’d say that Jeremy’s reasonable outlook provokes some of us so badly because of its apparent reasonableness. That reasonableness, to me at least, is code for what the feminists are always telling us: our anecdotes are not their evidence, not all women are like that, man up, shut up and pull the wagon. (Lie back, it’s inevitable, might as well enjoy it.) I’m not saying that’s what Jeremy believes, I’m saying that’s what I see when someone suggests I happily “co-invest” in a project in which the game is already heads they win and tails I lose. It’s my opinion that if Jeremy wishes to assist women in finding meaningful relationships with “high-value” men, he’s going to have to ask them to walk the talk of co-equal investment, and point out to them that only one side of this SMP has a safety net.
Again, I appreciate the provocative and sincere contribution by Jeremy, and J4G’s success in enlisting him in these conversations.
