Closing Time

I keep waiting for this guy to make a statement here I disagree with:

Women are the gate-keepers of sex. Even a below-par woman can announce, at closing time at the bar, that she’s available, and she’ll probably get takers.

An even above-average man cannot consistently do that; rather, he’ll have to “jump through hoops,” demonstrate a lot of fancy footwork, “game,” or display other obvious markers of high worth.

Oh, so that’s how you do it. Now you tell me.

As far as “appreciating” a sexually successful man – his male cohorts will admire his success and perhaps envy him, while the females will patiently wait their turn (thinking that they are somehow “special” and will be able to snag him long-term).

Women attain their peak SMV (Sexual Market Value) in their early 20s, and generally already have a high “notch-count” by that point in time. In contrast, their male counterparts will (generally speaking) have lower “notch-counts” (not because they are “more virtuous” or such – but rather simply because it can require Herculean efforts for a man to “get lucky”). A tiny fraction of men (roughly 4.5%) are the sole beneficiaries of current unleashed sexuality.

Men “come into their own” in their mid- to late-30s (provided they have “put in the work” and amassed resources).

So important, of course.

The “added value” which men used to offer women – physical protection, provisioning, and parenting – are now available instead from the State (in the form of policing, physically undemanding high-tech employment, and welfare / state aid for single mothers).

  1. The notch count statements seem accurate. I took a freshman level ethics class in college. The prof had everyone in both of her classes take an ethics survey. I collated the data. Two of the demographic questions where what sex are you and how many different sexual partners you’d had (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more). There were no virgin women, and 2 virgin men. 25% of the women, at 18 or 19 years old, had 7 or more different sexual partners. Only 10% of the men did.

    As they said, having sex is a matter of opportunity. Women always have it, men rarely do.

  2. How patriarchy works:

    Women control or influence 85% of consumer spending.
    Women control reproduction.
    Nearly 70% of divorces are initiated by women.
    Women are more educated than men.
    Women are less incarcerated than men.
    Women have a longer life span than men.

    Somehow this leads to the argument that men are disproportionally in charge.
