Alpha Mail: status uber alles

BW sends in this Game-related joke:

A wealthy couple was sitting in an upscale restaurant. Suddenly, a gorgeous redhead approached the man., walked over to their table and gave him a big, wet kiss and then walked away.

"And who was that?” asked the wife in a huff. "That's my mistress," the man admitted.

“That's it!” snapped the wife. " I want a divorce!!!"

"All right,” said the husband. "But you realize that if we divorce now, that means no more trips to Paris in the spring and no more trips to Miami Beach in the winter. It means no more Mercedes, no more maids, no more butlers, and it we'll have to sell our house in a depressed market. We'll both have to move out and live in two smaller houses."

The wife sat there fuming, her arms crossed, when a mutual friend walked into the restaurant with an attractive blonde on his arm.

"Who's that with Jim?" asked the wife.

"That's his mistress," said the husband.

"Ours is much prettier,” the wife declared.

"Oh, so now she's ours now huh?"

The only problem with the joke is confusing wealth with high income. I postulate that you are not wealthy unless you can afford a divorce.

Old, old joke with slight update.

This woman wouldn't know that nor would she care. A man plays this well by stating there would be a reduction in her lifestyle. Funny what women will endure, bless their hearts: Hillary Clinton, Shelly Sterling, Huma Abedin (Weiner) etc.

Funny, but I suspect many (most?) women aren't self aware enough to be swayed by this guy's arguments. They'd burn it all down because that's what everyone says they should do, and then they'd be astonished at their diminished statuses and lifestyles and absent "friends."

This is exactly what is happening to my current ex-wife-in-progress.

It's a cute joke and definitely shows how effective game principles can be. It's a bit amusing to imagine, but yes if hubby ever showed up with another woman, I suspect I'd start rationalizing in embarrassingly short order.

The problem is, what man in his right mind would want more than one woman??
Jayz was trapped in an elevator with two women and he needed a bodyguard. Then there's always the times when your mistress secretly wiretaps your private conversations, your wife validates her complaints, and you find yourself on the news.

Infamous or not famous at all, it seems a bit masochistic to torment yourselves with multiple versions of the same problem. Does it hurt that badly to not be seen? It does, doesn't it? Men go looking for something very few women can ever give and they seldom find it.

Comfort yourself with the fact that women are quite good at making themselves miserable, too.

I have a friend who has made some strong effort to evolve from a beta into the alpha realm. At one point, he was openly spending time with upwards of 5 women. He kept it right out in the open with all of them.

When a new woman would be interested in him, he would say the same thing to her that he'd said to the others: "That's fine, but you should know that I'm not exclusive. I hang out with other women, too. You okay with that?"

She'd say, "More than one? Like how many?"

At the time he'd say, "Five."

She'd think about it for a moment and say, "Can I be number six?"

"Sure."

And so he would calendar his off time with a balance of whichever women he was interested in spending time with. They competed for him and his time strongly. If she was in, she made the effort, if not, she was out, no loss. It had nothing to do with his income, the stuff he owned (meager) or his physical shape, which was average. He wasn't ugly by any stretch, but he just didn't have status symbols of any sort being flashed around. To the women, it didn't matter at all.

This. Be this guy.

Living my life spinning plates for a short term gratification is not appealing. I don't love all of it, but MGTOW is more appealing than that.

I took it as an example of women's natural competitiveness and need to be better than the women around them.

Harold, that would not happen if the wife perceived her husband as alpha.

@GG

GG asks: what man in his right mind would want more than one woman?

Obvious Answer: any man with enough balls to handle more than one.


GG, the word "man" does not mean "boy".

I guess the next part of the joke is the mistress walking out of the bedroom, and the wife sees Jim's mistress walking out of Jim's bedroom.

"Obvious Answer: any man with enough balls to handle more than one"

Like a nail gun or a jackhammer you mean? Why handle one at a time when you can challenge yourself with more than one? Admittedly, I do not get this concept. Men do seem drawn to bad ideas that probably won't end well. I suppose there could be a certain satisfaction in taking risks?
