‘Cheap Sex,’ our lives, our politics
Like I said, this book is good to read. In the article, the best sentence is, "The fuckboy lifestyle — in which a man can be basically worthless yet sexually successful — was simply not viable." Absolutely. And men are still adjusting, psychologically, emotionally, and culturally to this shift. Women, especially young hot ones, now value sexual and sensual pleasure more than world-building and income. Every guy has seen some hot chick not just fuck but obsess over a degenerate guy. Then the guy thinks, "What is the degenerate doing that I'm not?"
Guys who follow that thought far enough find game.
The author neglects to make clear that sex is "cheap" for the top 20 or 25% of guys. It's still very expensive for all the other guys. Those other guys are forced to watch porn, be celibate, cling futilely to their one-itis, become extremely wealthy, become famous, or learn game. In my view only that last one is practical for the vast majority of men.
When a man truly realizes sex is cheap, everything about him changes. "Cheap sex" is another phrase for "abundance mentality." But when a man has abundance, it's not just a mentality. It's his life.
