Alpha Mail: changing the culture

One individual at a time. Lana writes to tell about her son's psycho-social development:
I want to say thanks to Vox and everyone who comments here. My college son had a girlfriend I was not at all sure about and all of your comments led me to think a college man is the right age to inform about women and game. He grew up in a pretty conservative house and his Dad is squared away, but I told him he had to read two books this summer for fall tuition. "Dumbing Us Down" and "No More Mister Nice Guy". He was very appreciative, but the hilarious thing was this:

I was talking to my 20-something year old daughter who was being a complete beotch and the boy looks at me and says, "Mom? You really need to read that book you gave me!" He also broke up with the iffy girlfriend after he started reading it and told me it was because of the book. I never would have thought of it if it hadn't been for you guys, so thanks!
Game is so much more than pick-up artistry. I won't go so far as to say that it can save Western civilization, because I am dubious about the idea that most of the people in the West actually want it saved in the first place, but it can certainly save both men and women from lifetimes filled with misery and socio-sexual inadequacy.

Excellent! Well done.

I wish I had had some books like these to read as a young chap. I gained a true understanding of the situation by myself, over time, through hard struggle.

I wish my brother stumbled onto game in his 20's. He's given up on finding a girlfriend, let alone a wife. Very sad.

This reminds me that when I was in college I probably had more game as an idiot savant, simply by talking 'big' and acting cocky then I did as a recent grad living entirely on my own in a crappy apartment.

It wasn't just the greater proximity to more young women than post college, it was also the inherent tendency to 'game up' around them even having no formal training in game than when alone. I also observed even at the time how Fraternities with alcohol and inherent high cost/social status were a kind of pseudo-proxy for game among some young males.

I can only wish that the Manosphere had existed years ago then I could have understood what was happening between me and my college gf at the time (losing her to the 16 month mark/looming move back home of course paid off in the end because I later met a woman with much greater intelligence and staying power in her looks).

If I have a son I'll explain the basic 'game' concepts to him filtered through a Christian worldview rather than leave him to stumble upon it online as I had to do.

the concept is brilliant, the game is brilliant, much could be accomplished in the world this way. Much was about to be. Unfortunately, game depends on the integrity of the players, and some of the players are so careless about how they handle things, that they destroy that which they seek.

Once I learned about game, I realized when I always did better with women when I was drunk: it allowed me to do and say the cocky kinds of things I never would have while sober. It wasn't because they were drinking -- as I had originally assumed, coming from the blue-pill frame -- but because I was.

That was actually my biggest worry, but I told him up front that it wasn't written from a Christian perspective and he should read it only in that light. The thing is, many if not most of the girls he runs into are not going to be the same type of Christian that he grew up with. That is, of course, a generous estimate.
