Think about how on-line dating is structured. A girl looks at a few photos and few lines of text, then decides if she wants to meet you. She has access to thousands of profiles and is trying to get the best she can get. At the same time even Chad is willing to least occasionally fuck an average girl, because guys want to have sex with as many girls as possible. This means that even average girls will occasionally date Chad. If that’s the case, she will simply hold out for Chad and reject everyone else. Maybe she will occasionally date someone in her league, but as soon as Chad comes calling she will drop everything to meet him.

This isn’t just conjecture, it’s exactly what the dating data suggests. A data engineer at Hinge, a dating site, noted that 50% of the likes sent by women go to 15% of men. This is consistent with OkCupid data that shows that women find 80% of the men on the site unattractive. That same OKCupid data shows that men rate women more evenly, where about half of women are rated attractive and half unattractive. All this is consistent with evolutionary theory, where women focus on attracting the absolute best, while men are happy dating as many women as they can. A woman can only have one child at a time, so she needs to try to get the best genes possible.

In many pre-modern cultures, a high status man would have a number of wives. Ottoman Sultans were famous for having harems with hundreds of women. The truth is women would rather share a high status man with other women, than have the complete devotion of a low status man. This is seen over and over again in the modern dating economy, where the typical women prefers to be pumped and dumped by Chad than find someone who could actually build a relationship with her. In previous generations a woman may have settled with a low status man because she needed someone to support her, but the modern woman is able to support herself.

So this means that if you’re Chad, life has never been better. Online dating gives you access to unlimited women. But the bottom 80% of men will have to compete for the bottom 20% of women. Melvins can photoshop their profile photos and write witty text game, but it won’t last. As soon as Chad comes calling she’ll disappear. Once a girl is on online dating then she gains access to unlimited Chad, and then it’s all over for Melvins.

The good news is that not all women are online, and you can usually do better in real life than online. It’s much easier for a woman to reject a profile than a person; she will give a bit more consideration to someone she met in real life. Meeting a woman through friends or work also gives you an extra level of social vetting, and an opportunity to present yourself in a complete way. Online dating will mostly be about looks, but in real life you will also be able to show your personality, demeanor, and social circle. You will get a much fairer audition.

In summary: If you’re a Chad, swipe on. If you’re a Melvin, get out and talk to people in real life.

For all of history men built civilization and women lived in it. Men built roads, buildings, and all of modern technology. In times of war, they sacrificed themselves to protect the civilization that they built. This was their role as the stronger, more rationale and more group oriented sex. Naturally, men held all the political power while women tended the family. Men led, and women followed. The leadership of men brought us to the modern world, where the average person in the West enjoys comforts and pleasures that even past kings could not have had.

But the power structure in the modern world has also changed. This first began with universal suffrage, where men gave women equal say in governance. But became complete when women began to hold jobs and graduate college at rates greater than men. In this world women enjoy all the conveniences and safety that men built their with blood and sweat, without any understanding of where it comes from. They do not acknowledge that it is men who build their sewer systems, design their iPhones, and serve in the police force. The rallying cry of the modern women is that "The Future is Female." A nonsensical cry, given that women have never built any civilization.

Women have given up their traditional role as home builder, and moved into the workforce to displace average men, who are now pushed into lower status jobs. In the process, women have gained more political clout than men. Today, universities devote entire departments to studying women's grievances, the government offers welfare and childcare services for women, and corporations engage in massive affirmative action for women. Women are reshaping the world to benefit themselves.

This fundamental shift is mirrored in the dating market, where women have decisively gained the upper hand. Until recently, women desired to raise families and were thus dependent upon men for support. This exchange created bargaining power for both men and women. Women looked for a provider, and men looked for someone who would be a good mother. In a world where women can provide for themselves and prefer to raise dogs, women do not need men. They can summon any number of the best looking men from online dating apps. In this world, only the most attractive and successful men have bargaining power. Traditional virtues of good husbands such as dependability, kindness, and faithfulness have little value in the modern world. In fact, they suggest lack of options.

As men have a greater desire for sex than women, men now flatter and orbit even average women for sex. The lowest status men have essentially given up and devote their time to video games and tv. They are essentially invisible to society and their grievances are never heard in the media. The media may sometimes raise awareness of the unfortunate 30+ unmarried women who complain that there are no good men. These women spent their youth in short-term relationships with men way out of their league and would rather die alone than settle for anyone less.

A world led by women is very different from a world led by men. Men lead with a view towards the future and for the greater group. They do not disdain low status men, who still play important roles in keeping society running. Women have no such vision, and live in the moment. A society led by men would realize that our current course is not just unsustainable, but guaranteed path towards civil unrest.

A growing group of young men who have no future, and no attachment to society, is a fertile ground for revolution.
