“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

In Which a Serious Error is Made…

wrand starts off very well in an essay about whether men fear commitment, and concludes that it’s only American women who cause commitment phobia in men: I know of several men who are committed to their marriages. They have all been married more than ten...

A Tale of Two Marriages

It is interesting sometimes to see the differences between women who marry young and marry for the right reasons, and women who become obsessed with finding “the one” and therefore plan compulsively for the wrong reasons. Exhibit A: Kate Owens,34,...

The Cost of the Red Pill

As bojangles found out, it can sometimes be severe: The psyche here comes from Indian families and how they work. By the age of 23-24 your parents/uncles/aunts and practically everyone in the generation above you is on your ass about getting married and finding a...

Be a Man: Learn to Shoot

This one will demonstrate exactly why much of my immediate family thinks that I’ve gone off the deep end and am some kind of America-loving wannabe deep-fried redneck hillbilly. Can’t say I care, I’ve wanted to do this for years. As far as I’m...

Solitude and pain

Apparently aliens are stealing my thoughts while I sleep. That is the only explanation that my cold-addled brain can come up with right now for the phenomenon I have just witnessed. First, Bill Powell wrote a truly excellent post on what happens when you take the Red...

The Pedestal Shatters…

Provided you hit it hard enough, that is. Ian Ironwood posted recently about a buddy of his who suddenly discovered his balls: He’s got a sister, whom he’s somewhat close to, and his sister has a friend – let’s call her Candy – who he’s not particularly close to but...

Women in combat- how can this possibly go wrong???

Now if this were ancient Sparta, and the Persians were at the gates of the city, this sort of thing might not be a bad idea. Then again, the difference is that Sparta’s women actually had some idea which end of a spear to use in combat. This, on the other hand,...

The Beta’s Guide to the Friendzone

FailBlog is generally not a good place for what one might consider Red Pill truths, but yesterday I found a bit of an exception. That flow chart basically explains, from a frustrated BETA’s point of view, how the Friendzone works. And having experienced this...

Yeah, good luck with that registration drive

Now I generally have very little faith in the ability of the average East Coast American to understand the concept of an inalienable right, but it appears that the people of New York (!!!), of all states, are intent on proving me wrong. And not just me, but one...
