Getting laid is better than parochial political opinions

Focus on what matters and what's in your control

Getting laid and even forming relationships are way more important than whatever your (symbolic, unimportant) parochial national politic beliefs might be. Politics and religion are boring topics because everyone has opinions and hardly anyone really knows anything about either, so the opinions are just gas. I start this way because many articles have been telling us “A new global gender divide is emerging” because “Young men and young women’s world views are pulling apart. The consequences could be far-reaching.” Sample graph from it, which went around Twitter like a beautiful, indiscriminate woman around an engineering school,

But hold up, before you get too excited about that graph, know too that it may be wrong. I will assume that for some people it is right, and direct comment at them. For most guys who are at least somewhat normal, focus on what’s within your locus of control, and what matters most to your life... making $, being a positive force in the world, getting laid. The most political guys you know are substituting politics for sex and it’s a bad trade. Music is sex and all about sex. Fictional narratives like TV / movies somewhat less, but same vibe. Politics is the pretend-thinky antithesis of sex.

National politics is a lousy identity. I’m old enough to have seen culture shift... identity when I was younger came overwhelmingly from music you were into, and secondarily to that movies or other personal, narrative media. This is healthier than being into national politics and social media, but I can’t change things. Political hobbyism is dumb, I can repeat until the end of time, and people will continue to indulge in it. F**k that, let me rail hot chicks and make sex tapes.

The FT article claims,

In the US, Gallup data shows that after decades where the sexes were each spread roughly equally across liberal and conservative world views, women aged 18 to 30 are now 30 percentage points more liberal than their male contemporaries. That gap took just six years to open up.

If you talk to most people, you will find that their political “knowledge” doesn’t go past slogans. Most people don’t understand shit about anything that’s outside their immediate range of employment, and sometimes not even that. So to get upset about a girl’s dumbass political beliefs... it’s nonsense. If you’re on a date with a girl who wants to talk politics, snip that thread and talk about stuff that’s cool, fun, and personal.

Also, and this is not going to surprise anyone except young hot chicks, young hot chicks are in high demand for dating... and it’s not because of their personalities. They can have lots of arbitrary exclusion criteria, including political ones, and be fine. They are like male celebrities, from whom you should also probably not taking dating advice, because a male celebrity lives in a world different from 98% of men. Around age 30, the dating market flips, and chicks begin to have less power and men, if we have our shit even slightly together, have more.

Ignore most of what most people say, and pay attention to what they do. Is she fun? Is she going places in life? Does she have good habits? Is she hot? Does she have good character? Then what her supposed political beliefs are likely make little difference to you. Remember the Christian girls from high school, who loved Jesus but could be convinced to f**k? Look at what they do, not what they say.

Women tend to become more conservative after they have children, and realize that many of their previous beliefs are luxury beliefs. Much of what you hear in the media or from hot young chicks is in fact a recitation of luxury belief systems. But if you’re a man, you mostly can’t afford luxury beliefs and have to get used to the harsh, difficult, unforgiving texture of the actual world. Sorry, bro, I don’t make the rules.

What matters... it is not your dumb opinions about national politics, which have become pure symbols divorced from most everyday life. Political follow-the-leader makes people so dumb that some reject health- and life-saving medical technology. Crazy! Others reject it for their kids.

To recap: getting laid and having good local effects is more important to you personally than your irrelevant national/international political beliefs. You are f**king up your life by putting the latter before the former. Most people in everyday life are good or bad not based on their superficial political beliefs but based on how they treat other people. The far left and far right are similar in their dumb habit of categorizing ppl politically. Try to be more normal than that.

Having a great life means learning to ignore the inessential and focus in on what matters most. Most people have their attention driven every which way and letting that attention dissipate is a tremendous, common mistake. Be the guy who f**ks the prom queen. Back before movies became woke, boring, turgid, and asexual, one of the great movie scenes of all time got filmed. Study it and understand:

Losers whine about politics. Winners? Well, you know what they do.

Connect with other people and you might have some influence. If you don’t connect first, your views don’t matter.
