The Games Women Play

February 20, 2021 by Artful Prudence Leave a Comment


“Seducing a girl is no art, but it needs a stroke of good fortune to find one worth seducing.”

Søren Kierkegaard

Women’s Game

There is a common variance with regards to women’s game and the typical notion that they will only sleep with one man at a time. I want to elaborate on this notion and expand on how women, comparatively, are naturally skilled with dating multiple men simultaneously. Nevertheless, though women are inclined and pressured to pursue sexual relationships, their words seldomly correspond to their actions. Sexual activity is a woman’s foremost means, the unsophisticated recognize this, even though they protest about it. Therefore, to make this possible, women employ a deliberate form of false virtue which is gender-fortified by the totality of women and a good deal of beta men who are generally spineless and weakly, attempting to capitalize on this opportunity to ‘seduce’ her, or those men whose dishonourable programming compels them to disregard it. 

Women’s entitlement is such that she can change her mind anytime. When a woman doesn’t desire sex, it must be the case that she was coerced to be sexual, the alpha asshole could have compelled her or she had second thoughts and subsequently evaluated her choice. Whether it was before or after this reality is not so pertinent. Unsurprisingly so, for the majority of women, juggling multiple men is not a deliberate endeavour but a natural one. In reality, it is acknowledged that women revert to this condition independently. Since women’s conduct will largely be justified and forgiven, they have the freedom to date around without any adverse reaction by society. Moreover, when a woman is not sexually interested in a man, his appeal is still of some merit to her long term potential for security, which is a ceaseless pattern in her hindbrain – the basic way of thinking supporting the notion of ‘hypergamy’. 

If you comprehend this and amalgamate it with women’s medium of communication; concealed messages, a man will naturally presume that women will sleep with one man at a time. Men inherently reason through rationality, women through emotionality. Thus, man’s presumption is one that is reasoned based on practical logic yet since women’s innate medium for communication is hidden unlike men’s undisguised medium, man’s supposition is not calibrated with the actual underpinnings of feminine nature. Men tend to overlook women’s actions and believe their words. If a man were to discern a woman’s schemes for their actuality, he would understand how it is in women’s best interest to make men think that monogamy is a requisite for sexual relations, even when her behaviour denies her every word. Women like to engage in intra-gender warfare; a woman calls out another woman for being a “slag”, a plain betrayal which intimates that women necessitate monogamy for sexual relations but a slag is not deserving of a man’s devotion since she is not playing the game according to what the halfwits were led to believe. These very same women undergo what is called ‘competition anxiety’; they will reproach men for establishing their judgement on women’s surface beauty.  Nonetheless, it is likely a woman who is the least intimidating to her unease. Remember: women are all carnal, you simply need to be in the proper context with the ideal character for it. 

How Women Love

Despite that, oddly enough, it shall be granted that a woman’s love has been close to mysterious in men’s thinking, owing to its frequently unconventional and conflicting character. The woman’s sense of uncertainty when she secretly and light-heartedly attempts to hide her loving weakness with a trivial cough has been wittingly acknowledged in renowned love with that worn proverb; “Love and a cough cannot be hid“. On the whole, women do not completely love a man. They pick a man to be loved rather than to love him since it is delightful for them to receive it. There is a well-liked french saying on the force of a woman’s love; “Love subdues all but the ruffian’s heart” In other words, a woman’s love conquers all men except the rogue’s feelings and affection. The old days are overflown with exemplifications of this aphorism, another notable adaptation; “Love rules his kingdom without a sword.” You see, love is a honeyed despotism seeing that the lover voluntarily tolerates his suffering. By the same token, the French have another adage; “He who has love in his heart has spurs in his sides.” The grounds for this being the apprehension of the equitable gender to demonstrate control over a man’s heart. A woman is keen on putting her lover’s confidence to the test by igniting his envy and covetousness. A traditional adage states; “There is no love without jealousy.” Conversely, there is a widespread precept which states that love banishes envy with its potence. Such are the disconcerting thoughts that left men dumbfounded about the inherent nature of the feminine and its seemingly unclear spirit. 

A woman’s love has often been scolded as being capricious and inconsistent, especially when it comes swiftly. Hasty love is often short-lived and fleeting, many a time a consequence of man’s rash commitment to pursue her. The man should shun away from ensnaring himself through immediate emotion-driven commitment that is unreasonable. Frequently, diving into commitment is a result of clouded judgement, not wise resolve. Thus, if you have the capacity to stop yourself from acting on your emotions and instead give yourself time to be reasonable, you will in all likelihood make a better judgement based more on rationality and less on feeling. Women are not fond of emotional men, they may say otherwise but this does not justify the actual fact. Emotional men lack the strength of character to preserve their integrity and pragmatism, they have a deficiency of masculinity that women detest. If you want to know the truth, watch her actions not her words with regards to this. Her words are too often contradictory to be trusted, yet men tend to lay their conviction in them since our inherent nature is unmistakably frank and theirs is in a sense in opposition with itself; conflicting words and actions. 

The man who is demoralized by her provocative behaviour and fearful of losing her through immoderate temptation will be berated and chastised. A wise man will never lay his trust in a woman’s unfortunately insufficient faithfulness nor be hindered by flirtatious behaviour that is geared towards making him infatuated or envious. Furthermore, a prudent man does not give her the golden opportunity to change her mind – he simply understands her inner workings and adjusts his behaviour accordingly. Although I must add, that a man of integrity and honour need not adjust his temperament to comply with feminine ideals, for his inherent and unrefined nature, assuming he has not diverted from his masculinity, is already desirable and superior. However, understanding the function and nature of the feminine will only add to an already resilient character and make women easier to deal with, make out and influence. 

Anxiety, Envy and Doubt

Women like a man who is disposed to cheat yet do not actually want him to cheat. Of course, you do not make it seem like you are searching for romantic advances, for this is apparent and obvious. Rather, it is your ability to go with it and playfully and indirectly stir up the coquetry that gives the impression that other women find you attractive. What is important, however, is how you conduct yourself after the teasing. You should make her feel that although other women find you desirable, you still pick her over them. Women are continually assessing men’s desirability, for the man’s value is to a substantial degree a reflection of her value. Thus, this constant evaluation is a way for her to gauge her worthiness and feel justified. The surest way to rapidly stimulate an exhausted relationship is through envy and a sense of uncertainty. Both of which stir up her imagination [one of the most advantageous devices] and get her hamster reeling once more. Furthermore, marriage does not mean that aspects of Game are no longer applicable, they are actually just as successful and it is your role to keep the hamster reeling forward for the furtherance of your relationship. 

If you could look beyond your liking for the histrionic and revert back to the indifferent and offhand teasing and playful mocking, you would notice that this is a flattering remark to a woman, for it gratifies her hypergamous uncertainty about whether or not you are still attractive to other women. When you are constantly apprehensive about your safety and protection and you make this your main importance, it is puzzling to discern the utility of intimating a degree of danger and lack of protection to your relationship. This sense of safeguarding your relationship at all cost is the enemy for its prospering, for if you have a certain dependency on its sustenance, you do not have a relationship, you have an unhealthy attachment towards a person of the opposite sex who will begrudge you for your desperation and frailty. In spite of that, if you are obviously searching for chances to flex your coquetry with your woman, this only tells us that your underlying sentiment is one of insecurity, not self-assurance. Men too often undervalue the responsiveness from the woman’s part to subtle distinction and indirect communication. It does not take a great deal to kindle her imagination with some subtlety and mystery and yet men go out of their way in the most apparent manner, trying to make her understand through reason. This behaviour merely rejects the motive, you should be the one who gets the message and stop yourself from being so predictable and pronounced. Do not speak rationality to someone who speaks emotionality. Instead, understand her language and act accordingly; indirect, concealed communication is women’s language, you will never hear the basic truth come out of her mouth but it will manifest in her behaviour for all those who can observe it.

The Undoing of Men

February 12, 2021 by Artful Prudence Leave a Comment



I would like to preface this piece by saying that I will not be drawing reference to external notes and will attempt to write from mere sense and perception as these particular melodies which relate to our inherent nature as men are of considerable significance to me and I shall not attempt to allude to what deviates from what is essentially my natural articulation, in other words, what comes to me by a matter of course, without further embellishment. I would like to elaborate and discuss the matters involving the conquest of men, in particular, for the reason that I have some remarks to put forth that have been lurking unspoken and voiceless for some time.

Firstly, I must express my unusual curiosity and incredulity that slaps me in the face every time I go outside and simply observe how we, as men, have managed to mortify and disgrace our honour and integrity in the manner in which we have, and furthermore, to comprehend our terrible capacity for ignorance, idiocy, inexperience and cluelessness with regards to what could be considered the most invaluable and exquisite gift we have been offered, that is our will and judgement. Nonetheless, most men scarcely contemplate what they could be if they only cultivated some of their innate aptitudes and looked beyond the flawed and blind faith they have been lured and drenched into by a society that is in present-day in opposition with a model of masculinity that is not grounded in poison but in an unrefined, deep-rooted ethos that will never be worthy of culture’s persecution.

A culture which, in present-day, is as second-rate, imperceptive and feminized as can be, a culture which is, in numerous ways, symbolical of the submission and surrender of man to the feminine and this is also where the origin of disorder sets about. I call it a disorder because when the dominant sex mindlessly relinquishes his authority to offer it to the inferior sex, we end up with a state of affairs that is quite faithfully synonymous with perpetual, chaotic disarray which is almost out of the question to undo at present time. The roles, as it were, have overturned, for the seeming betterment of the feminine, but in actuality for the dreadful dissension of both sexes. The roles have come to be as such; effeminate men and masculine women. The former disowned his inherently noble qualities which are indispensable for his maturing, the latter disowned her province and responsibility to exploit insufficient men for giving up their power. Invariably, it is none other than the man’s lack of honour and integrity that is blameworthy.

To be masculine and embody honourable excellence is to be designated an outlier among other misapprehensions, and this is simultaneously alarming and predictable because for one, we asked for it, and for two, it is truly dispiriting for those who acknowledge this subjugation and have not contributed to the ruination of unrefined masculinity. Of those who preserved or revivified their nature, what are they to do about this mass gender disruption? It is not like they will be recognised for their superiority of character because people who lack the knowledge to see it cannot possibly admire it. Furthermore, it is not so much a question of what are they to do about it as it is about educating the blind about the ones with sight. It is very hard to talk people out of their delusions, especially conditioning that is so thoroughly ingrained in one’s disposition, that looking beyond it will prove ineffective and incomprehensible. You must, as it were, be led to it through cruel and severe occurrence, and this is the regrettable and hapless truth for the exceptionally deluded types who require a sufficient proportion of trauma to unlatch their eyes for the first time and grasp their appalling foolishness.

Men have grown increasingly compliant because they, among other rationales, never had the dominant and authoritative fathers with strong characters to model themselves after, a father figure is so consequential and crucial during the boy’s upbringing that his presence or absence will quite literally determine the boy’s temperament and to what proportion his inherent masculine qualities will be cultivated. However, young men have no higher guidance, by and large, they are merely drifting weak-mindedly through their trail without practical and lasting knowledge of the underlying reality of their intrinsic nature they have not made sense what it means to be a man, and it is not so much that they don’t or didn’t want to, as it is that they never were made conscious of it by a superior father figure who will imbue in them those invaluable traits that will set them up for a life of remarkable significance and influence. This is not to say, of course, that there aren’t men who have relentlessly carried themselves out of their undoing and prospered heroically in their undertakings, but these are minorities who have otherwise been competent and illustrious enough to acknowledge their insufficiency and then assuredly deviate from it towards something much greater. But, how many of them are left? they are a diminishing breed that is few and far between.

Weak and effeminate men will only generate more of their own clones and this is the snare that pervades our present society, a culture which sustains its duplicity through empowering effeminate qualities in men while simultaneously persecuting the man that possesses the ideal traits that would orient him the most optimally both for his children and his community. This duplicity is not clever, it is unintelligent, brainless and incongruous to its core, and its sustenance is only plausible as a consequence of men’s incapacity to own up to their essence which they are illiterate of. This fraud would not survive a day if men were adequately educated and positively conditioned in such a way that their inherent disposition is illuminated and shun forth by men who are superior in their own right and have the tangible wisdom and manhood to offer their knowledge and sagacity to young boys who are on their way to grow into sovereigns. I don’t have the privilege of saying I cherished my father’s presence for very long, as his death came earlier than anticipated and that developed in an extensive deprivation and catastrophe that no ignorant man without a sound intelligence and a distinct awareness would rise above because to be aware is not enough, and neither to be intelligent, one without the other will leave you unequipped to discern the dogma and then transcend it heroically.

The most sensible thing you can do is educate yourself on what you lack knowledge of but if you don’t know what you ought to educate yourself on, you are merely walking in the dark. This is why a father figure is so indispensable, more so today as they come in scarce quantities but are so crucial. If you have neither a father figure nor adequate knowledge, I plead to you to learn to inquire, ask yourself and contemplate through observation, some things are evident only when you look in the right place, otherwise, they go unnoticed. If you want an over-simplistic starting point, you can make the presumption that if you observe most men’s behaviour in public and deliberate on its contrary, it would lead you to a rather brief draft of what will eventually approximate the ideal man whose qualities are neither effeminate nor “toxic” as the corrupt culture wants you to be convinced, but empathically assured, dignified, with a strong and fearless sense of integrity that is neither submissive nor neurotic. If you deliberate further, you may come to a dawning and pivotal realisation that your preliminary conditioning was nothing far from weak, defective, conflicting and antagonistic to what you are capable of out of your organic make-up.

Once you acknowledge this, you are in a beneficial position to learn to orient yourself accordingly, gradually unfastening from the turmoil society is submerged in. Even so, you must realise that if you’re deluded, it is very improbable that anyone will talk you out of your misapprehension because we are not convinced by words, we are convinced by experienced, as you consider experience as concrete evidence that your folly has demonstrated to be purposeless and unworkable. At this point, I will go so far as to say that there are still terribly imperceptive people who are still incapable of comprehending their idiocy even after proving futile and this is where, I believe, some people will be eternally empty-headed and victims of their ignorance. This can be the consequence of many factors and it certainly wouldn’t be well reasoned to narrow it down to one impetus; it can be insufficient intelligence, an acute stubbornness, a harsh environment, a lack of adversity and often an amalgam of multiple.

Make yourself a favour, and do not regulate yourself in accordance with what you instinctively may doubt to be a rational and lucid state of affairs, as a man, you have the capacity to reach the supreme heights, for all the potentiality is within and not to be found in external, unchallengeable conviction. This potentiality is your distinguished potential for integrity, honour, dignity, good judgment and proper use of impressions. There are things you do not own, those are the things that lie outside your will, these things you should be indifferent towards. What is within your will, will never be taken away from you, neither by a person nor as a result of severe conditions. If you cultivate these characteristics, you fall perfectly in line with your nature; unrefined and harmonious, with an abundance of self-respect and integrity that makes you a hero in your own right; this is worthy of praise and reverence by everyone.

There will be a second part succeeding this essay to keep it digestible, thank you for reading.

The Masculinity Paradox and Women

February 12, 2021 by Artful Prudence Leave a Comment

It is rather beguiling how men, being the stronger sex, are the ones who get exploited by women, not the other way around. There is imbued in it a sense of sarcasm how present culture has grown more womanish and unmanly. The tragic paradox, therefore, is that men live in a society that is largely dependent on men’s clever labour for its prolongation, but on the other hand, depresses and subjugates his virile nature which is the very source of his excellence. To persecute someone on his immorality is reasonable, but to bully and rebuke him on his fundamental nature is disturbing and ruinous.

The question of why women are scarcely uncovered and put at risk is a curious one. However, it is a question that you can answer for yourself through observance. The culture we live in today is such that men’s lack of courage and self-respect has brought about the very downfall of its sex, and it will not be undergoing any transformation for its betterment any time soon. Men today are caught in a descending stream of misapprehension. Thus, to talk them out of their own mistaken beliefs is arduous and doubtful. For they can observe evidence of their testimony regarding their beliefs through tinted glasses, and men are less likely to disbelieve it when the case is such. And so, we live in a civilisation that is dilapidating men’s essence progressively. Masculine traits such as dignity, strength, decisiveness, self-assurance etc. are in short supply and weighed down because men have missed their mark, but they are ignorant of this verity.

This leads me to the state of affairs involving women, whose nature too has deviated as a consequence of men’s disillusionment. Women becoming increasingly more masculine, as a side effect of men’s incapacity to live up to their purpose and embrace their nature. We find ourselves, therefore, in a state where men have renounced themselves for women and handed them authority. Invariably, women are incompetent in leadership as it is man’s work to fulfil, but they cannot help but give it up since they lack ability as a consequence of their ill-conditioning.

Think about it, why should a woman acquire the knowledge to resolve a flat tire if a man can do it for her since he is willing to? You see, a woman will resort to men and utilise him should the opportunity arise. Men’s functionality differs, but women, whose life’s work and ambition are inferior to men’s, require men for just about everything. The masculine traits that serve no usefulness to the woman, she will not deem manly. Conversely, those traits which she can benefit from, she will regard as masculine. This leads me to this unpleasant and grating truth; the most impoverished man is almost always the one that gets utilised by the unappealing woman. Without a man’s strength of character, a woman will capitalise on his weakness to their merit without mercy.

There is a strong moral here; when man deviates from his nature, he brings the worst out of women. The destructive aspect associated with the feminine becomes amplified and present in the truancy of a man’s dignity. Having said that, the vast majority of men lack sufficient integrity and modesty to make women respect them, bringing the antagonistic aspect out of a woman’s natural temperament, which should be yielding and soft. You will never be treated with soft submission if you lack the competency to be firm and assured with a woman. Understand the polarity, women detest frailty and compliance in men as that is the very function of the feminine.

If you want to have a favourable outcome with women, therefore, make your purpose your prime concern as this is your life’s work. You give your life supreme meaning through the diligent work you put towards carrying out your purpose as a man. Remember: no matter your pursuit, you live in a ruthless system that is intended to benefit off your shortcomings because mankind is self-absorbed. However, the incongruous verity remains that a man is continually looking, through wilful blindness, for someone to sell him into bondage and more often than not, it is a woman he picks out. For only as a drudge does the man feel stable and shielded. His life’s principle revolves around the doctrine of delight in imprisonment as he lacks the strength of character to sustain a relationship with a woman as a fine accompaniment to his already content life. Instead, he incarcerates himself for her, neglecting his life’s work and conforming to her territory as that is his prime concern.

The most substantial inaccuracy you can make is to presume that you are an equivalent to the feminine. This is to say that women are of identical emotional and mental ability as men, which is silly and unfruitful for both genders in question. The biological and organic make up associated with both sexes is such that they personify a polarity that enables both the function of the masculine and feminine to coordinate in perfect euphony. However, when the stronger function of the masculine is deficient to operate and act as its nature implies, the inferior function, in this case the feminine, is in a state of dissonance. The deficiency of the masculine is a consequence of a culture and way of life that has conditioned men in a way that subdues their masculine essence.

Men’s abstract ideals of women are also, invariably, a ramification of their dishonourable conditioning. For, a man sees a woman fulfilling her role in her home, by cooking, cleaning, doing the dishes, and other such jobs that involve the household and the family’s wellbeing, and it scarcely crosses his mind that these responsibilities inherently make her untroubled. Moreover, if a man stopped from his careless hurry to development and re-evaluated his course of action, he would come to grasp that his striving to convey to a woman a sense of encouragement, is utterly ineffective and to no avail. Nevertheless, when the man comes to the recognition of the vanity in the culture of the woman, naturally, he believes it is his liability and is restraining her. In the present time, though, the roles have tipped over, and the dependency that the woman once had upon the man is no longer customary.

Presently, the genders are conflicting and in total discord, women have grown increasingly masculine, men increasingly effeminate. The traits associated with favourable masculinity has come to be sparse, and the traits associated with favourable femininity has come to be just as unusual. Evidently, today, men possessing such traits as integrity, stateliness and dominance are regarded as pariahs that have not conformed to societal norms. You see, men have become such a letdown, that when such traits as stateliness, integrity, and toughness are exhibited, it is regarded as radical to the common people. Do not feel compelled, therefore, to abide by societal norms. If you have not acknowledged the disarray of this cruel system, there is a good chance you have been taken in by it. To conform to a system that subverts your masculinity is to wreck your magnificent potentiality as a man whose purpose in life transcends any dogma and tyranny.

You must identify where your indisposition lies, find out how you have come to be a casualty in the system and untie yourself from it. Your purpose as a man is not your connection with a woman, this is merely an accessory, it is your divine aptitude with which you will serve the world. This is your power, and one no one can take away from you till your demise. It is your life’s work, it should be your prime concern without further negotiation. Women only have their place when your life purpose has been determined and established. This is the perfect panacea to avert your desperateness and craving for sexual relations.

To compound it, careful consideration for your physique is of great importance. Your body is a reflection of your inner being in many ways and a well-kept body signifies self-respect and pre-eminence. A poorly kept body looks careless and indicates a lack of discipline in physical wellbeing. Furthermore, better your intellectual capacity through industrious study of brilliant writing. In other words, read great books that will serve you. Two crucial themes are power and prudence since the common people are inadequate in cunning and canniness. In other words, they lack competence and intelligence. The third should be that of your vocation, which will push you forward towards impeccable mastery in execution and knowledge.

If you are in charge of the realms mentioned above, you will be so well ahead of the crowd, that you will start to regard mediocrity with some contempt, acknowledging first hand how inferior present standards are.
