This one is a much better model of attraction for men than the typical redpill one.

It should be the 'de facto' advice that young men find out about on the internet when they're young.

I remember when I was a teen and I was trying to bruteforce the redpill advice of being a jerk, it obviously failed spectacularly and I didn't understand why, it took me a few months of failure and then a few years of reflection to realize why it was wrong. Well, this article sums it up pretty well.

I will be saving it for future reference.

Wonderful elaboration of an overly simple and crude concept into something useful and correct. It certainly squares with my long ago experience of such things (Gen X here).

6th percentile Agreeableness, 0th percentile Neuroticism checking in. I may already have a little too much dickhead lol.

A woman with high Neuroticism would probably drive me insane.

yes lol. To be fair “Crazy” does include a lot of disagreeableness for some men in which it wouldnt for you. So you do have access to mid to low agreeableness woman which I do not. Your optimal woman would probably be somewhere in SD -1 on agreeableness and neuroticism.

Very true when I consider that conversely, I would classify a lot of neurotic behaviour as crazy that most men would probably find acceptable.

Not sure about agreeableness though. I don’t see any big downsides to a woman being more agreeable.

>whats wrong with too agreeable

They will not tell you their needs, they will try to please you at their own expense, they will burn themselves out giving all their energy to people who have not earned it, they will never challenge you and thus never let you know when you are wrong, and ultimately they will leave you one day without ever even telling you they were unhappy.

also they will become neurotic because you are always hurting them unintentionally

Excellent model. How does a psychopathic mind operate, btw?

You added TTS, now I can enjoy your post’ while I’m doing other tasks. Substack needs to add the option to apply TTS to older post’ if it doesn’t already exist. I’ll binge every post.

When you have no options you can either raise your value or lower your standards. Most men choose the latter.
