This is a top 5 post that has ever been posted to this subreddit. OP really knows how to write well. Amazing content, good elaboration/examples about key concepts, and an entertaining writer's voice to boot.

This is just their hustle. Some dudes sell drugs, some people do credit card scams, some people become lawyers who rip off old senile people, some people sell their bodies for cash. Women sell the promise of steady sex, affection, love, and caring for the lion's share of your time, resources, social status, and money.

This passage should be drilled into every young guy's brain.

Now, there is an honest way women can hustle and a dishonest way. The honest hustle is to ensnare your beta bucks, but in return for him busting his ass to subsidize your ass, you suck his dick, raise his kids, stay faithful, and spend your life squishing your inner craving for the alpha cock you were so used to enjoying in your teens and early 20s.

The dishonest hustlers? They deal in perceived value - they minimize the value they give while jacking up it's perceived value, while maximizing (and obscuring and downplaying) what you give them. If she's constantly overplaying how much she's worth or she contributes (aka being a SAHM is the hardest job in the world) while downplaying what you contribute (you GET to work 10-11 hours a day, you like work, you're good at it and you get to not be in the house), then you are being hustled dishonestly. If after a hard day of work there's dinner on the table and she at least uses the joint account to keep her pussy waxed for you, then you're being hustled honestly. Still being hustled, but it's honest in that this is the dynamic you signed up for.

Pure gold. Yes, no matter how much of a unicorn your girlfriend is, deep down she is still a hustler even if she isn't consciously doing it. Now does that mean never get into a relationship? Of course not. But you have to be aware of it.

By request I am going to repost some Best Of post. If you have any nominations, PM them to me.

Pure gold repost. Probably the best breakdown of SMP I’ve ever read

What an arousing post. My proudest fap ever.

Consider this many sidebar posts condensed into one. One of those long reads that is worth more than 99% garbage you read here. Why did I not find this before?

I always say the more bitter the “blue pilled turned redpill ” is about women, the higher the pedestal they used to put women on. Females got needs too, understand the game and leverage it to your advantage.

Good post.

Everyone will see different takeaways.

For myself, this is all important stuff but there is definitely a balance and a line I want to avoid.

I don't ever want to end up living in women's frames. Overdoing whatever 'appearance' of a enriching lifestyle they may want.

It's great to be aware of women's triggers, and let that knowledge sit in the background. But there is a line where you are putting together an image of a lifestyle someone ELSE wants to see.

I'll throw elements of this into the mix, but there is a point where if she's 'fuck no'...fuck off.
