  • This is a pattern I’ve seen repeatedly.

    Guys find themselves desperate to get laid, and that desperation comes across in all of their interactions with women, who don’t like feeling that they’re being treated like a vending machine, which leads to the guy being rejected for reasons that he doesn’t entirely understand.

    He gets in a relationship with someone, finally, and everything is great for a while. Then he realizes that women are talking and flirting with him more than they ever have before, and isn’t sure why, but he enjoys it. He doesn’t understand that, because he is in a relationship, he has stopped being desperate and weird, and is now actually having real conversations with women about mutually interesting topics.

    Surrounded by women that are (seemingly) available, he either breaks up with his SO, asks for some sort of open arrangement, or tries to cheat. Unfortunately, for reasons that he still doesn’t understand, as soon as he’s available for sex, women start being turned off by him again (if not to quite the degree they were before) and, again, he finds it difficult to get laid.

    From here, guys often fall into some incel-style evolutionary psychology explanation for things, regularly cheat on everyone that they’re with, or gradually becomes aware of the pattern.

    If they become aware of the pattern, they can begin to manage it and reduce the desperate, salesman vibe that they give off. As they become more confident and relaxed, it becomes clear to women that they’re perfectly comfortable going home alone or just being friends, which allows them to have more meaningful relationships and, incidentally, more sex with people they like.

    Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk on the origin and mating behavior of the involuntarily celibate.








    1. They store the bodies upside down in tanks of liquid nitrogen so that if power and backup power go offline they still have a while before the nitrogen boils off.
    2. Assuming revival becomes possible, it will likely decrease in expense and difficulty as time goes on. It seems likely that at some point people would be woken up just out of curiosity or for a study, once it becomes cheap enough.


  • I can’t speak to how common this is, or if overall rates have declined, but I still do it. There are a lot of people in the comments who are worried about coming off as a creep, and I’m sure a lot of guys do come off that way, but I don’t think it’s that hard to hit on someone in a non-creepy way. I asked a woman out last week like so-

    Me: “Hey, sorry if this is abrupt but would you like to have lunch or a coffee sometime?”
    Her: “Yeah! That sounds like fun”
    Me: “Cool, let me give you my number…”
    Me (after chatting a bit): “Sorry for hitting on you out of the blue.”
    Her: “It’s totally fine!”

    Things to note:

    1. I gave her my number instead of asking for hers so that she could turn me away by just not texting me.
    2. I was relaxed and willing to joke about my abrupt approach.
    3. I’m not exceedingly handsome, but not particularly ugly either.
    4. I’m ready to exit the conversation politely and humorously if she turns me down.
    5. We had talked briefly a few times prior to my approaching her.

    1. Escape temporarily with a group
    2. Find scrolls of modify memory
    3. Remove memories from all but one escapee
    4. Rest of the group returns home with no memory of escape or the person left behind
    5. Escapee on the outside learns the spell modify memory and/or finds more scrolls
    6. Returns to orchestrate resistance
    7. The resistance operates in cells which have no memory of being part of the resistance
    8. “Handlers” are rotated frequently and are responsible for providing memories and stockpiled weapons
    9. Cell members are given memories, perform missions, and then return home with no memory
    10. Cells that are compromised are abandoned immediately and their members are never activated again.
    11. Handlers are personally recruited and serve for short periods of time before being wiped by the next handler.

    Seems like a pain, but possible. It would make a good story.
