Ethics of Female Sexual Identity: Make the Player Wait, Reward the Good Man

Ethics of Female Sexual Identity: Make the Player Wait, Reward the Good Man

I recently wrote two myTakes:

- Why Men are Sometimes Justified in Avoiding Monogamy

- Niceness Might Not be Sufficient but it is Necessary

In short, I concluded that there are many machiavellian dating strategies that women employ, e.g. 'make him wait' only serves to sexually reward players in the short-term and trap the good men into relationships long-term. What's more, women are using the excuse that 'nice guys' are (a) manipulative and (b) not attractive in other regards not to sleep with them but these are plainly false and generalisations. This is why I refer to such men as 'good men' (i.e. men with GENUINELY positive personality traits that can be attractive in other regards) rather than 'nice guys' because the latter has all kinds of ideological baggage that feminists have attached to the word. Good men are ONLY benevolent because they value the benevolency in and of itself. Furthermore, they would not expect a woman to date based on their benevolence alone AND they typically date with and sleep with girls that are in their own league of attractiveness. In spite of these cold truths, realistically it is men with sociopathic tendencies that are preferred simply because mose women are emotionally unstable.

Essentially the way things are are as I explained in the comment section of a previous myTake:

There are good-men into their thirties who maintained their integrity throughout their twenties and did not act like assholes just to get romantic and sexual experience with women. In spite of making an active effort to respectfully meet and attract women that were roughly the same age, the same attractiveness and shared many of the same commonalities, they were unsuccessful. Now that they are in their thirties, they do NOT want to nose dive into a long-term committed relationship with a manipulative, scheming woman that has been around the block a few times and with whom they share very little emotional or physical chemistry with. This is especially not the case if they are going to wind up 10, or 15 years down the road with two kids, a mortgage and the emotional baggage of insecurities arising from their own sexual inadequacy.

This raises the question - how can a woman go about her dating life ethically and find a good man that actually respects her in a western dating world that is not innocent where most people lose their virginities at young ages? The short answer is, 'make the player wait, reward the good man' - which is actually the REVERSE of most female dating logic. But it actually makes the most sense for everyone: the woman, because she will not feel 'used and abused' by the player; the good man - because more sexual experience will put him on an even playing field when he DOES decide to settle down with a woman (or differences in sexual experience may not bother him. Finally, even the player benefits in the long run (if not the short run) because the player WILL lose his sexual market value (as a man, typically this is when you hit forty) which is why he needs to learn how to commit at some point. Some of you may be thinking that women should be free to do as they please. I agree, but men are also free to pass judgement, there. Men are also free to explain how this dating game really is a lose lose situation. In this light, I assert that there IS such a thing as ethical mating strategy, even if such a view is controversial (especially among women).

A woman only has two ethical options when it comes to standards:

- NON-hypergamous promiscuity

This means she can sleep around but within her own league. No cherry picking attractive, high status men with rolexes and nice cars. Eventually this woman will settle down later in life, and will probably choose more meaningful factors into consideration for her monogamous partner.

- Demisexuality

This means she does not sleep around, ever, and prefers to develop an emotional connection within a long-term relationship before she has sex with her partner. In her lifetime she will typically only have one or two sexual partners. personality and an emotional connection are ALWAYS more important factors in her romantic decision-making than looks, money, status or raw sex appeal.

The worst type of woman is hypergamous, promiscuous and uses her sexual advantage to manipulate men. Worse still, she sleeps around neither for sexual gratification, or even for the validation of being accompanied by a high status man. She is essentially just a gold-digger and wants money and what other privileges she can get from sex.

Somewhere in the middle of the ethical and non-ethical extremes would be:

- The girl dates above her league like you described in the text but she genuinely enjoys the sexual gratification and being absorbing the awesome chill nature of attractive laid-back men. Eventually she will settle down for a relationship although she may be a lot more sexually experienced than the male she partners, even though they are roughly belonging to the same league. He may feel inadequate as a result and over time, he may feel a little inwardly resentful about the short-straw the harsh reality of polygynous dating has delivered. However, this girl also has a super-cool fun personality, is awesome in bed and makes up for the sexual inadequacies the man has about himself and the girl's past history.

- The girl has incredibly prudish ideas about sexuality. she rarely, if ever dates or has sex with men, because she has over-estimated her league and clings on to very conservative ideas regarding sex. she is sexually inexperienced and after years of being single, she eventually settles down, begrudgingly for a man that is actually in the same league as her. This man will probably have a similar level of sexual experience so will not feel bitter in this regard but he may find it difficult to relate to this woman who is emotionally closed off and dislikes sex.

Overall: women are free to do what they want, but other people are free to pass judgement and show the toxic effects of female mating strategy with sound reasoning and logical arguments.

  • Dude, you will never get girls to empathize with your point of view. You're fighting a fruitless battle here.

    Really you can't force a girl to want to sleep with you right away just because she did with other guys. However she can't force you to stick around and wait. So if you thinks she's the type of girl who has had sex right away with other guys and is making you wait then just dump her and move on. She clearly isn't as attracted to you as she was to the other men and you can't force he to desire you like she did the other guys. she's either excited to have sex with you or she isn't and if she isn't then break up and move on.

    • 'move on.' Problem is, what are you moving on to exactly? I ask this because it seems most women are the same way nowadays.

    • Try to portray yourself as the type of guy that they would want to hookup with.

    • Sure, but it's not *just* hook ups every man like me wants.

  • Jeez.. People put a lot into dating these days. No wonder everybody is always so angry and shit. It should be fun, fuck all these labels and rules.

    • Well, sure - women don't see the need for practicing dating ethically because it doesn't suit them personally. So they get to be as machiavellian or amoral as they want.

    • I have a ton of brothers, all my cousins are male apart from 2, and all of my friends were boys til I was about 15/16... Literally none of them have this trouble and have to play these games and do all this shit. It's honestly down to the type of guys, not dating itself. Some girls do actually do all sorts of shit, abide by made up rules and play stupid games too. And just like the guys that do it, they're generally less happy in relationships and find shitty partners. Just relax a little dude, you won't have to do all this if you do. Trust me.

    • Thing is, not speaking for your brothers personally, but I know a lot of these successful guys DO make a lot of concessions. e. g. dating down, buying drinks, paying for dates, waiting for sex, etc. Is your family black /carribean? I ask purely from interest.

  • Oh boy, how fun. Nothing screams "I'm a raging misogynist" louder than a take trying to tell women how to live their lives and talking about how evil women are for having the fucking audacity to exercise personal choice in their dating lives. Jesus christ dude, get a life, and maybe work on unlearning some of that sexism you've obviously got built up there.

    • I'm not a sexist. There's plenty of good women out there, and in a way, even the women who make toxic decisions are not to blame because they are just a acting the way they have been socially conditioned. Society gives women more dating power (e. g. men must court, pay for dates, wait for sex while the woman typically waits to see if she is interested). but women are still responsible for their choices and they have no-one to blame but themselves when they are uncontent with their romantic or sex lives (especially when they are attractive enough to have more options on the whole). when they choose men with sociopathic tendencies, it's not just that they miss out on the men they really desire. It's that they contribute to all kinds of social ills -abusive relationships, children brought up in chaotic households, more overall crime as a result. On the whole, it's time women started exercising more social responsibility and looking for the right kind of men. Anything else is their fault.

    • Yes you are. Your take makes that plenty clear. Women have personal freedom, and your take is literally criticizing them for making their own damn decisions. That's it. You are ranting and raving about how fucking terrible women are because they DARE to act in a way which you personally don't agree with. That's absolutely idiotic.

    • 'Women have personal freedom, and your take is literally criticizing them for making their own damn decisions' Ok, so at this point you're just ignoring anything I have to say, making all kinds of assumptions about positions that I have not explicitly stated, restating the same points that you have already made and refusing to acknowledge any of the points that I made. You're essentially blocking any form of rational dialogue, therefore making it both impossible and unworthy of my time to continue discussion. In that case, I will simply have to acknowledge your personal sentiment on the matter and beg to differ.

  • In my opinion the only matter of ethics when it comes to concerning sex is consent. As well as sex is not a reward. I find it amusing how often guys try this sex as a reward bs all while whining about sex being used to punish them or sex being used as a weapon. In my opinion if a guy is touting this sex as a reward for his behavior then it is ill suited when a gal starts rewarding him with sex if he does X, Y, Z (buy her a car, spend $1000 on her).

    To each their own.

    • 'it is ill suited when a gal starts rewarding him with sex if he does X, Y, Z' true, because this is essentially prostitution

    • Using that logic what you proposed is essentially prostitution as well as the X, Y, Z in your case is being nice. It seems you're only okay with prostitution when it's done on your terms but when the gal is making the terms for having sex then it's 'bad'. Ie it's not prostitution but ethical to tell gals to reward a guy with sex for being nice to her but it is prostitution for gals to reward a guy with sex for other behaviors/actions she stipulates.

    • Well, uh I read doing x, y z as financial favours since you mentioned spending money on her, for which the man is sexually rewarded. I didn't realise being a genuinely good person meant looking for sexual favours as opposed to fake niceness. This is why I distinguished between 'nice guys' and good men in the take - because of the misconceptions people have about being 'nice' (e. g. 'oh he's just being nice to get into her panties', 'oh when he says nice, he means boring - he doesn't have any other attractive qualities). Both assumptions are false because you can both be genuinely nice AND have attractive qualities. I think one of the reasons women avoid genuinely nice men - good men - is because they believe these common misperceptions are true. That's why I recommend against applying typical ' make him wait' dating advice with these types of men, or assuming that it is necessarily good advice. It can also be unethical treating men like this.

  • You're right about demisexual patterns. However demisexuality itself isn't a choice. It can be emulated, but that emulation isn't genuine. A demisexual can choose to sleep around and have one nighters, but it will feel mechanical and disatisfying every time. They only do it to succumb to social pressure or standards.
    I would know. I am one. I have tried to be like a typical guy. I don't operate that way. So I tell guys who like sex and girls who like sex do you, so long as you do it responsibly and maintain your well being. Don't make yourself miserable.
    On that note sex is not a reward for me in a relationship. Get to experience intimacy and love is.
    And that isn't true of everyone. Don't fake it.

    One issue is that a high portion of women identify as demisexual and a low portion of guys identify as demisexual. This means women use sex and men use intimacy, love and wealth as bartering tools. As you can imagine this results in a chaotic, disatisfying dating world where no one is getting what they want.

    Even then this is only one facet of the dating world. I fear your Takes over generalize, are accusatory, and overlook the very essence of our humanity. The women I date don't date for resources or wealth or to reward or not reward, they date because the guy stirs their emotions, makes her feel attractive, and can provide something that woman is looking for, be it adventure, understanding, love, or freedom.

    Being a good guy is something I just do and encourage others to do. I don't do it to earn sex, and while I want it to exist in a partner, I know that I only value it up to a certain level. Once that point is reached other things become drastically more important, like her sense of romance and her wit.

    Let me illustrate that for you. I don't want to be with someone who treats animals poorly, is rude to people in the service industry, or who physically or verbal abuses others when they get inebriated or for that matter when they're sober. Those are deal breakers and I think everyone should have them.
    But once that criteria is met I start valuing other things. Like her level of affection, her openness, her energy, her optimism, her sense of art and humor and her wit.
    And most women are the same way.

    Problem is this doesn't go in line with what you keep going on about. So I have a hard time swallowing it.

    • @lumos is full of rubbish - I never said such a thing. I have the comments picture framed to disprove her. (she's blocked me from replying to her on the other comment so I'm replying here). otherwise, I will address your points later.

  • Oh my god. When will you people STOP being so fucking OBSESSED over sex. This is ridiculous.

    • It is but it's like saying to women when will you stop being obsessed over monetary value and status. Sure this guy is talking ahead before even trying. But that is the situation these days. Ugly girls won't go out and try and same with nice guys because that is the message out there, sure some asshole use women but they are the ones women seek out whilst possibly using men themselves.

    • I just read through what I said earlier. I apologise, I think I'm full of shit, just ignore it.

  • This is GOLD, pure gold.

    Very very true. I just don't get the paradoxical act of rewarding someone who is indifferent, cold and not caring versus the nice, makes you feel special, charming guy?

    It defeats the object doesn't it?

    Not to mention it leads to what you say above. Well put!!

  • I actually kinda agree. But I just don't like how all this blame and burden is always set on women. Like come on, it takes 2 to tango.

    But, I will say this. I can understand why they will fuck and chuck a guy who's only hot or for status. I mean, guys would do the same if it were as easy. And if you think not, you're mistaken.
    Anyways, if you just want him for sex, why would you care about his personality? It'd make more sense if you didn't really like it because if you get attached and he doesn't, which apparently more men have an easier time separating sex from emotions, then you'd be left hurt. So if he's just hot enough to get you turned on, but not really good enough for a relationship, then it'd help you separate emotions or any hopes of him.

    Also, lots of guys here and irl, have said how they immediately either lose interest or respect for a woman who gives it up to them easily. So if we are interested in something serious with a guy, why would we jeapordize any chances by giving in too soon?

    Another point. I'm not sure what's wrong with many people here, because I know lots and I mean a surprising amount of ugly guys and girls who are goofy as well, or awkward and they score hot men and women. So it's not like being ugly will automatically mean you won't get sex. I wish I could post pics of them, but there's one guy I went to high school with. He literally looked like a monkey, and even his nickname was "feo aka ugly" and monkey. And he had casual sex with ridiculously hot and popular girls. He didn't need manipulation or tricks, he was upfront about his intentions. And he even said himself that he'd never fuck an ugly girl, and based on the girls he pulled, indeed he did not.
    No. He didn't have money. He didn't even have a car.
    And he wasn't the only guy.
    So I'm not sure why so many guys, especially on here who are like wayyyyyy better looking than him, can't even get a date.

    I personally prefer sex in a relationship. I admit I did have a friends with benefits. I know, this taints me. But I really wanted to forget my ex. Did not work. And I wanted to see if I actually could have sex when not in a relationship. I didn't like it and I don't ever want to again. You live and you learn. He wasn't bad, but it didn't compare at all to the sex you get from someone who loves you.

    • I did not read your whole opinion, so if you've already answered my my comment just ignore me. It takes two to tango, definitely right. But, it's the female side who chooses 99% of the time. Women are the ones who make the choice about "which man" and "what to do with this man". Men don't choose, they are allowed by the woman. So, the burden is definitely heavier on female side.

    • 'guys would do the same if it were as easy' Right. But men are not empowered to make the same decisions, therefore I focus on the party that does. You wanna blame players in their 30s and 40s for ditching the wedding ring be my guest, although we can probably concede that in a lot of cases it's due to the way they were treated as young men.

    • I just want to say, I don't think guys really care if you are easy for THEN, they only care how easy you were for other guys. For example if a girl sleeps with Bob on the first date he assumes "she slept with me on the first date, that must mean SHE SLEEPS WITH LOTS OF OTHER GUYS ON THE FIRST DATE". So it's no the action of you sleeping with him on the first date, it's what he assumes. So I guess indirectly guys do lose interest. But I believe that most guys wouldn't be turned off if a girl who only had like 3 partners before him slept with him on the first date. But obviously guys don't know a girls past so they foolishly think "easy for me =easy for everyone else" 😕

  • Women are taught that being easy is bad. I think this is also a huge part of why we tend to make the good guy wait.

    Women don't care if the attactive one night stand thinks we are easy. But when it comes to guys we actually want long term we do and don't want to ruin anything. And so we try not it make it easy and take things slower.

    • sure, but the good man is going to see through the act so to speak - so it is not the greatest strategy for winning his approval!

  • " the female mating strategy" lol I don't know something tells me you've never experienced the "female mating strategy" first hand, you've just read Nice Guy propaganda online

    • Lol tell yourself whatever it is that makes you feel better about your gender's manipulative dating strategies.

    • I don't have to make myself feel better because a) most girls don't have "manipulative" strategies and b) I'm no more responsible for what other girls do than you are for what other guys do

    • Well I've already explained in this take and others (which you read) why the strategies are manipulative, so I'll ignore that point. As for number two, you're attempting to justify indicates you employ said strategies yourself.

    If there's an average looking man with average personality traits who I don't find attractive, he's not going to get me. Simple. You be nice or rude idgaf.
    If there's a rude asshole or a nice HOT man who i just want to fuck, he's going to get me. For a one night stand I mean.
    You are not going to tell me who to find attractive or who to sleep with, is this understood?

    • 'If there's an average looking man with average personality traits who I don't find attractive, he's not going to get me. If there's a rude asshole or a nice HOT man who i just want to fuck, he's going to get me. For a one night stand I mean.' You evidently didn't understand the take, lol.

    • Well the opening lines implied nice guys are entitled to sex and women should not make men wait. That was all I needed to read apparently. But do tell, in a summary. Can't read everything.

    • It was more about how manipulative personality traits tend to be rewarded regardless of attractiveness. so men with genuinely positive personality traits would be disregarded irrespective of their attractiveness not because women don't want them, but because they don't blip on her radar. the 'ethics' is just referring to what is the best decision making - for the woman and for society at large, since as a society we could do without men with sociopathic traits breeding more offspring. typically, this means that while the good guys (I hate the term 'nice guy' now because of what people think it means) are sexually rewarded, it's not unreasonable for a woman to date in her own league.

  • A decent idea but involves compromises from women. And as we all know, compromises suck when you don't really have to make them and when they're inconvenient to you but would be helpful to others.
    And also if women were to make the player wait, he wouldn't really be a player anymore. The whole thing about the player is that he plays with women's feelings and gets what he wants - if that doesn't happen, then he doesn't have his player card.

    • 'involves compromises from women.' men in tune with these dating theories are also more likely to adopt successful strategies. ' if that doesn't happen, then he doesn't have his player card. ' which is good.

  • Hmm... more to say later.

    • I look forwards to any (valuable) contributions you have to make.

    • Two upvotes and I haven't said anything? I fear I might be a decided letdown. Forgive me, but I don't think women are nearly as Machiavelian as you think. Machiavellian implies a conscious effort to manipulate, which isn't evident in the women I know. I don't think most women are strategizing. Or using strategery ;) Strategizing and being Machiavellian implies intent, which I don't think women sit and plot and strategize any more than men do. They date who they, so it seems to me, without any thought about engineering the behavior of men.

    • true: a lot of the time they don't realise their own games. but the games are there. the down vote wasn't mine by the way.

    • I more so agree with you on the "women are free to do what they want, but other people are free to pass judgment" but whatever, this take is decent.

  • *ethical* mating strategy? There's nothing ethical about mating. It's instinctive.

    • I'm aware that this is true instinctively but then lots of our urges are primeval and amoral. t we find a way to either suppress these urges or release them in a way conducive to social cohesiveness / harmony. To take a more extreme example, we don't resort to cannibalism just because we're feeling hungry.

    • Yes, they are amoral, not immoral. You can judge someone for being immoral, but if it's not illegal, there's nothing you could or should be able to do about it. Cannibalism is illegal, for reasons that should be obvious. Are we going to make it the law that women must have sex with men they're not attracted to?

    • haha sorry bud but there's four other guys you know and not enough ladies

  • I agree to almost everything you said. And you came across very objective and respectful, yet it seems most girls will take offense at this and will backlash with some random unjustified remark.

    With that said, I wouldn't call it an strategy. Because girls do these things almost entirely without thinking or rationalizing it, they can't afford to care tbh. So, even though I know exactly where you are coming from, any girl who reads any of this is reading at a blank page. Most know subconsciously most of this is true, but will fail to admit it and won't have any desire to think about it either. So obviously they'll just read the title and make it like you are an insulting, woman hating bastard. I think any girl who is well aware she doesn't do any of this has no reason to be offended whatsoever.

    Just saying man, good take regardless,

    • Yea, women are likely to disregard the ethics because it's counter-intuitive. Still, if MEN read this, they are empowered by their understanding of manipulative female dating strategies. If I helped them, THAT'S an accomplishment.
