 Now let's talk about average All right Let's put you right here right dab middle of our matrix. What's that like? All right, I'm gonna tell you it fucking sucks It sucks to be fucking average you want to know why first one right off the bat this nice red line here That's a divorce threshold at 50% Half your marriages are gonna fail if your average actually it's higher And they should fail they're average You want extraordinary in your average? Where you extraordinary in your thinking and your selection processes where you extraordinary in your commitment? Now you're fucking average and you have mediocre results to show for it Is this something you're gonna invest in? Anything that's average is at risk Life will weigh it down it takes work to be fucking average We know that these people come in here and these people here. There's a shitload of work to be done here This isn't the sweet spot. We think it is it's mediocrity and Mediocracy is a handrail for people that can't support themselves Mediocracy is a handrail for the week Recognize that in yourselves fight it Let's look at some cultural overlays We showed before that we have a difference between men and women between Hypergamy a woman's interest and a man's interest was just hypogamy We can take the same individuals here. Okay, same identical value systems are at same point We're gonna have vastly different conclusions. What does culture tell women? That their role is typically that they're supposed to be nurturing supporting caring Okay, we know in the sexual marketplace Women will are not expected to carry the emotional burden of any of the processes known for selection Okay, at no point do we have an expectation that that hot woman is gonna come over and open you That she's gonna initiate the conversation that she's gonna move and guide that conversation along into something else that she's gonna initiate And ask you out for a date Furthermore culturally we know she will have no obligation to carry the financial burden Okay, that's gonna be all on you All right Ultimately culture tells women that they need to marry up. They see you need to seek better They need to marry up and it's reinforced again and again and again All right, let's talk about the average guy Okay, what's he taught You need to be dominant you need to lead Okay, it's your responsibility your responsibility to initiate your initiate your responsibility To go after the girl to bring it along to take all the emotional and psychological risks All right, every pickup artist right now who's come here to talk has relayed intimately how they were psychologically damaged by that process Somewhere along the line they were hurt and it has reflected and manifests itself as them in men These are lasting risks. These aren't simple things. Just go ask the girl out Yeah, we can just love it off, but the reality is it helps shape who we are All right, we also know men are obligated to carry the financial burden All right, that's a risky and proposition when you're having to carry that you're gonna have to make decisions on what you can afford the decisions you make All right, and ultimately as men we're taught to protect and to provide Sounds nice provide. It's got a nice ring to it What's another word for that How about marrying down sound nice now Each and every man here is expected to marry down To choose a partner that is less than his himself his lesser What's that look like here's the sexual marketplace with the cultural overlay These are her options Three times as many as his How do you feel about the sexual marketplace now? Do you think it influences decisions? Do you think it influences how you perceive yourself your opportunities? Not a whole lot of options for men Not many options. Okay, and a tremendous range and diversity for women We understand who the hot bitch is right not us Okay, we also recognize something else when we talk about her wanting to marry up. This is significant. This is where it turns This is her prime zone Okay, she's gonna be looking for guys here These are options, but that's where she wants to go and that's nature.
