AKA Screening.

Simple question.

Girl says X, which is usually a red flag (or a green flag)...but because of circumstances/context - it's not a reliable indicator.

When is Past Performance NOT Indicative of Future Results?
Simple, it is a coin flip.

I got one. Divorced. Are there grounds in which you think it's OK to divorce a woman? Well many of those grounds apply to a woman divorcing a man. If a guy cheats and she decides to leave immediately? Good grounds for divorce. Remember, just cause a guy cheats on her doesn't make him some sort of 'Alpha', nor does it make her an 'alpha widow' as I've heard it. There's plenty of soft ass dudes that have had opportunities to cheat. If a guy completely lets himself go? Another good reason. This is as disrespectful as the wife that gains 50+ pounds after that first bite of wedding cake (sans children, but even then, that has a statue of limitations in my eyes). Unless you yourself would put up with this, then there's no reason to expect a woman to do it. Self-respect and a sense of dignity know no gender boundaries.

Another one that just popped in...bad relationship with parents/family. Believe it or not, there are perfectly good people in the world that are simply born into a situation with toxic family members. Mike Cernovich talks about this in his own situation Distancing themselves from such people isn't a bad thing. And I'm not talking about a father that was abusive or anything, but there are parents who are gossipy and hold people back. I've noticed this in immigrant families a lot. And no, this isn't an issue of simply "valuing family", these people have a penchant for drama and belittling people. Think "Tiger Mom" but a step beyond.

This is one I've thought about a lot.

I don't come from an ideal family situation. Far from it. Because of that, I've been forgiving/understanding with women who have had non-traditional/less than ideal backgrounds. I figured: If I made it work, maybe they did too. The vast majority of the time however, the woman is fucked up and is a reflection of her shitty upbringing. I've seen an odd exception here and there but it's not common.

The key thing I've learned is to pay very close attention to how they interact and respect their parent(s)/family members, why so, and is their attitude justified.

If they respect a piece of shit parent just "because he/she is my parent", that's not a good sign.

If they reject a good parent because of stupid bullshit, that's not a good sign either.

Is the toxic parent the mother or father? A good father and a toxic mother mix from my experience tends to produce a far more better woman than the opposite. I honestly can't think of a woman I've dealt with that came out alright who didn't have at least a good father and/or some sort of healthy male role model figure. It's not a guarantee of a good outcome but I've certainly noticed a pronounced trend.

Ideally, the woman rejects the bad parts, acknowledges the good parts, and has a very level-headed attitude towards her situation. But to get to this point, you have to possess a high degree of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and willpower. How many women do you know like that? Keep in mind, it's not culturally acceptable or easy to reject toxic parents or even parents who act inappropriately. A LOT of people truly can't understand what it's like to deal with toxic parents unless it is something very blatant like sexual abuse. Selfish and emotionally manipulative behavior is far more difficult to get across to people who have no concept of what that actually means.

Therefore and given all the aforementioned: For most folks, it can very difficult to be objective when dealing with parents; even as a man. For a more emotionally based individual (like a woman), I wold imagine it's even harder in some regards. There are exceptions but again, they are going to be exceedingly rare in my opinion.

I'm going to revive this older thread because this post really hit home with me. The answer to this is men are stronger than women. Men are more introspective than women. We're mentally tougher. We're more self aware.

As Roosh mentioned in one of his articles, an abusive background can be beneficial for game as girls get high on emotional manipulation and abuse, etc. After all, everything bad that happens to a man is good for him and is a learning experience.

Guys are definitely not more self-aware. If they were, they'd be way better at game.

Guys may be more self-aware than club girls, or sorostitutes, but that's a different story.

Girls are way better at acting XYZ to the outside world, while knowing they are truly ABC on the inside. The vast majority of them know when they are hitting the wall, even if they don't advertise that fact.

'Act as if...' basic game strategy, right? Women have that shit down cold.
