Men need to lose the idea that they need to spend money to find good women, & having that as their only selling point. That's how you miss out on good women because you disqualify yourselves before even starting. You make a benchmark of a few infantile women.

It is not easy for you because you're all squeezed in the same dingy clubs, chasing the same circle of women, then wonder why you won't find different. I mean, if parties are the only place you fetch women, you will spend. It is a function of the setting than it is the women.

I, too, stumble upon the avaricious woman. But they are far in between, & I discard them promptly. Not because I can't afford it but because that is not my fishing net. If a woman asks you for money 2 days after meeting you & you send the money, who's the fool?

Life comes at you fast. I remember when we were still kids, the commitments we made. I said I'd marry a white woman, & end up in America. It was logical then - so palpable. You promised to play soccer in Europe and I believed you. You were that good. It was not hard to imagine it

But one day, papa woke you up at 4:00 am. You were only a child in your teens: Form 1, in a boarding school. You said goodbye, & promised to come back. A short while later, I too would go to boarding school. I'd see you once a year. You became a stranger.

You still played soccer - had gotten better over the years. You had a fleet of girlfriends occupying your days. I tried to play with you but you preferred their company. Your interests were no longer mine & I stopped talking to you. I didn't know what to say. You felt foreign.

Gents, ease your burden in campus:

1) Learn to walk alone. Groups are expensive. Since none is producing, you leech on each other. Ego tussles will also have you spending more to reinforce superiority, & reinforce loyalty, yet you all receive cash from mummy. Walk alone!

2) Say little, be scarce. Scarcity breeds mystery. Since money is limited, many will seek recognition through noise. Rendering it commonplace. Be scarce. Men respect mystery, women seek to unravel it. Men will give you a wide berth, women will give you free sex. Mystery is king!

3) Sell something. T-shirts. Shoes. A rock. Ice cubes. Oxygen - just sell. Among men it speaks enterprise, among women it speaks potential. You will earn money, influence, & admiration of hypergamous women - who litter campuses. Focus on the money! The rest comes second.

You might ask, why is genius mentally challenged? Van Gogh, Camille Claudel, Pythagoras, Paul Gauguin, Kurt Cobain & even Charles Bukowski: What breeds madness in the painter's world? Why does the writer speak to his shadow? The consummate artist has only one fate. It is madness.

The artist is born highly perceptive. He sees more than he should but soon learns that perception is only revered in the old. In the young, it will be termed effrontery. He recoils back into himself - into the safety of his head. He rejects the world, just as it has rejected him.

He conjures a dream so wild, he'll forever see nothing of the prosaic world. Women will love him, men will offer him friendship. It will be all for naught as his heart will be possessed by his vision. He'll ingest copious amounts of liquor & sex. These won't drown out the noise.

Masculinity is not a war. It is not a rulebook. It is not a cause. It is an identity - a constitution. How best you can utilize your environment, & its faults, for optimality. There is no one for all in masculinity, there is discernment: becoming, balance & tact.

You are not at war with women. You do not need to win. You are at war with your past, & future. at any given moment: To achieve the best for yourself, & your people. To respect yourself first, before demanding respect. To give justice, then demand it.

How you go about it is entirely individual. But first, one needs to recognize who they are, what they want & what they ought to do. Until that is defined, no amount of anger or ventilation will help. Because an undefined value is no value.

I do not wish ambition on any man. It is better to be simple-minded. To be with ambition is to live a stranger in your own body. To sleep with one eye open, to never know satisfaction: to never just be. Ambition is good for all to see, but quite the punishment for its carrier.

For the ambitious man, perception is the bane of his life. He carries ambition like a camel carries its hump. And he might get his heart's desires. But at such a great cost he'll wonder if it was worth the bother. Yet this is the fate we are dealt. And so we must carry it.

Ambition will rob you of friends, rob you of routine, rob you of life itself. And when you get there, you will not stay long because ambition knows no rest. It gropes you to the grave. It is better to be simple-minded I tell you. Better to be as mad as a hatter!
