Be More Like Me
Women’s theory of mind of men is essentially that we’re taller, uglier, stronger women with shorter hair.
Their words will say otherwise, “No we know you’re big tuff boys Ford trucks barbells scotch sports grrrr”. But their behaviors belie this when they do things like recommend therapy for everything (female solution, talking about feelings, passive, they fetishize this constantly) and even in subtle things like thinking criticizing appearance matters to us in remotely the same way.
These are symptoms of a broader temperamental impulse: female prescription is almost always some variation of… talk about it more. Describe the thing with new words. Examine the feeling. Name the feeling. Sit with the feeling. Discuss the feeling with a licensed feelings professional. Verbal, interior, passive.
However, men don’t project their solutions onto women in this way.
When women are struggling, men don’t tell them to build something. Become useful. Gain competence. Shoulder responsibility and accountability. Lift something heavy. Impose order on a neglected corner of the world. Sack up and get it together. Nobody pities a weak, useless man.
Men understand they’re dealing with a fundamentally different, softer creature. This is a form of empathy: comprehending a theory of mind not your own. The obverse isn’t true for women’s comprehension of men.
Per the posts below, they imagine that criticizing a man’s appearance will injure him the same way it injures them! They assume the same pressure points because they assume the same creature.
They’ll consistently try to make us More Like Them, because deep down they believe we’re the same thing. A “One race the human race. One sex the human sex. We’re all equal.”-kind of beautifully naive Blank Slatism. Equality, not hierarchy, is their north star and the moral axiom of “we are all equal, so we are all mostly the same” crops up constantly. In addition to the temperamental research, I’ve experienced this in some form with almost every single woman I’ve had a semi-sustained interaction with.
This is where I diverge with psychological literature saying women have higher empathy; I think that’s mislabeled in a serious way. Empathy entails elevated theory of mind of Another. Projecting feminine cognition and feminine solutions onto everything is antithetical to empathy.
It’s more accurate to say they have higher sympathy: which is consistent with well-known temperamental traits of wanting to reduce harm and promoting an “ethic of care”. There’s no theory of mind involved in sympathy.
The female impulse is to change him into behavioral resemblance… “Be More Like Me”:
- Sand off the edges.
- Lecture away idiosyncrasies.
- Verbalize what he’d rather act upon.
- Pathologize what cannot be feminized (i.e. toxic masculinity).
- “I’m civilizing you”… the pleasant way to say “being More Like Me is right, being Like You is wrong”, clinically known as narcissism.
Why can’t you be more like me???
A smart woman I’ve known for years still tries to peddle astrology and woo to me. However I don’t reciprocate by sitting her down with temperament research, endocrinology, and population-level trait distributions until I’ve extinguished her sense of enchantment.
What’s amusing is she’s a “humans have 100% agency” believer while performing the same loop of biologically programmed behaviors and thought processes. She’s a quintessential example of precisely the genetic, constrained agency I describe. I don’t point this out, because I like that she has a sense of childlike wonder to her. I don’t need to make her More Like Me.
I understand that magical thinking helps preserve a distinctly feminine experience of wonder (this is me empathizing). She cannot comprehend the reverse: that I don’t experience concreteness, mechanism, and biological reality as some bleak prison from which I need to be liberated. I’ve told her this. Doesn’t matter. Genuinely unfathomable. I reiterate: this woman is no idiot. I’ve noticed the ability to empathize isn’t related to intelligence.
I like reality. My “wonder” is grounded. My “magic” is in the mechanisms. I don’t need the universe to flirt with me and pretend “Saturn is in retrograde” to find purpose.
She cannot internalize that I’m not a defective version of her. That thermodynamics and systems do for me what enchantment does for her! She likes to float. I like to walk. “You need to float more. You need to be More Like Me”. Okay love.
Watch how often criticism of men is simply female self-reference wearing moral language:
- “You need to be more emotionally intelligent” → assign emotions the importance I assign them.
- “You need to be more vulnerable” → present your interiority in a format recognizable and reassuring to me.
- “You need therapy” → submit your problems to the feminine method of processing.
The man isn’t being understood as a man. He’s being graded as an incorrectly assembled woman. “You should Be More Like Me!” is what’s tacitly conveyed underneath all these comments.
————————————————————————————————————
Consider the asymmetry embedded in the word emasculated. Why is there no feminine equivalent?
We instinctively recognize that masculinity can be stripped away, softened, humiliated, rendered harmless. That a man can be brought down from a difficult, higher-energy, achieved state into something more passive, dependent, meek, and compliant. Why? Where did this implicit understanding come from…? We narrate "social construction!" over biological expression.
The female embryo is the default state; it’s what develops in the absence of androgenic energetic construction in utero and the hardening in life that masculinity requires. At every stage of gestation, the male fetus requires more action and more energy to be built. The female embryo, in physics terms, takes The Path of Least Action to develop. The embryo defaults to female if no androgens intercede.
One emerges naturally by default. The other must be built, defended, and can be dismantled. Human Becoming vs Human Being.
Feminine advice to men carries the same destination:
Become gentler. Become softer. Become more verbal. Become less dangerous. Become easier to understand. Become more manageable. Become more passive.
Become, in every meaningful respect, More Like Her.
The Default State seeks default state.
The female embryo is the default state. We all have nipples for a reason. What turns it male is when it's acted upon by androgens in the womb. The male fetus is acted upon, it becomes. The female fetus is: it exists in the absence of action. Being vs becoming.
Masculinization is a developmental street. Consider why there is no feminine equivalent for "emasculating". Feminization is the default state, it is where we all start.
Female is the basin every body relaxes into when the build is not instructed otherwise. The passive state. The male is energetically expensive; he's biologically invested in to become something else.
The creature that emerges is then calibrated, neurologically and physically, to act upon the world. Wired to navigate, compete, build, intrude. And because the construction was costly and conditional, the world that selected for it priced it accordingly. Male value is what it DOES, not what it IS. Action is the ledger because action is what built it.
The below statement is not a universal male fantasy. The effeminate male wants out of this contract. He wants to be valuable the way a woman is valuable: for what he is, not what he does. This is the delusion of every Blank Slate complaint: the refusal to accept that your value was assigned in utero, and that the assignment was extrinsic.
Men are what they do. Because women are born, men are made.
Whether you name the all-powerful force Physics or Providence, whether you call the inviolable rules Natural Law or Divine Will, the conclusion remains: you must touch them to know them.
The saint discovers God not through theology but by service. The scientist discovers truth not through equations but by experiment.
Both pilgrimage and particle accelerator serve the same purpose: they make the seeker move through the world to find what’s real.
Truth is found through motion.

“It does seem like the many, many philosophical language games is downstream of female psychology in the sense that philosophers don’t know what they want, but they do want to endlessly critique and finagle and basically want to make an entire discipline out of the process of not deciding or demonstrating things.”
we need to start being self-citing philosophers when we encounter language molestation and ideological word play and just declare stuff right back. you can just declare things!
“My identity is X because I said so. He is guilty of Y because I said so. My logic is sound because it is logical". see, it’s easy.
there’s no need to prove anything, you can just say it. fools demonstrate, intellectuals declare. just relabel stuff until it’s a label you like. you can just redefine things! let’s live inside language!
it wasn’t a “gang rape” or even an “orgy”; it was a “multi-person somatically discursive phenomenologically penetrative event”
You can't rape the willing! Note how a superfluous food item was consensually purchased, yet still evokes the sense of rape.
The apple cider donut is the “casual sex” of baked goods: nobody needs it, but if it's sitting right there, you grow weak with desire.
More importantly, this highlights a key point of contention in White Woman Critical Theory known as “Schrödinger's consent”: consent exists in *superposition*. It can be clearly provided, yet also not have been later on!
Feminist scholars assert that “just like that one physics cat who lived in a box”, quantum consent can exist in two places simultaneously in the future, depending on what kind of mood she's in:
-If sex was enjoyable and she doesn't regret it, it remains consensual.
-If it was bad or she regrets it… maybe I was raped?
Play it safe: never have an apple cider donut or casual sex with an art hoe. Because even if you wanted it, you can still be raped.
Thank you.

rape fantasies aren't something that can be beat, nor should women be made to feel like it’s something they ought to conceal. for the same reason men can’t be shamed out of liking ass and hips. it’s our nature.
to varying degrees, being aroused by complete physical dominance is a core part of female sexuality. there are many surveys on this (including how common rape fantasies are) to corroborate what you’ll hear straight from their mouths once they trust you. after awhile, you won’t even need to hear it, you’ll feel it in their embodied reactions. how they’re stimulated, pupils getting bigger, while held in certain ways that are uniquely vulnerable, helpless, etc.
the examples below are extremes, but not uncommon. healthy feminine sexuality enjoys dominance, man-handling, and feeling safe while being physically overwhelmed. as you work daddy issues/weak fathers into the mix, that innate, natural desire slowly transmutes into a more destructive form.
an absence of healthy masculinity means dark masculinity is all they know. when surrounded by weak men, women begin to seek out blunt-force, corrosive strength. when left with the choice of a spineless man or an abusive one, the abusive one wins easily. he may be toxic, but at least he’s not a pussy. there’s nothing more repellant than a weak man.
and that’s how you get stuff like this.
I’m Hard vs I’m Wet: Value from Performance vs Essence
Very few men are so attractive they drive a woman wild just by virtue of lying there. Whereas many women elicit male infatuation by just being naked. The sexual leverage here is skewed because the desire is. This means men must perform to get what they want, and women react and judge this performance.
Male sexual performance is more measurable. It's composed of actions like stamina, rhythm, and whether you know how to manhandle just right. He does these things to make her feel good. He must perform both to gain access, and maintain it.
Male sexual-market value -- how he gains sexual access in the first place when faced with hypergamous selection effects -- is often a result of his economic performance. Men must perform, sexually and societally, to be worth anything.
HOW WOMEN ARE "GOOD IN BED"
Pleasing a woman is much more difficult than pleasing a man. This why a man being “good in bed” is seen as a sexual accomplishment. Because female desire and enjoyment is what’s prized, and it’s mostly a reaction to male performance. You have to earn it, she rewards it.
A woman being “good in bed” manifests as visceral desire, animalistic moaning. When she begs for it inside her after removing it from deep down her throat, that's her being amazing in bed.
It's not an action, but an erotic state of mind. This is peak female performance, because this is what men covet. Heterosexual men don't give a shit about her "form". Just like we mostly don't give a shit about how much money she makes.
In essence, female "performance" is how passionately and enthusiastically she consents and desires you and your actions. Because that's what makes it amazing. It takes two to tango: one leads, one follows. One acts, one responds. Being "good" manifests differently for each.
Women don’t just volunteer this as their baseline, it must be earned. Men must perform, women judge the performance. Men are the head, women are the neck, societally and sexually.
But because this female contribution isn’t a measurable action like stamina, the pictured comment mistakes it for a lack presence. How you make each other feel good is the essence of "performance", sexually.
She makes him feel good by virtue of allowing the act of sex, her body and reaction is the prize. It’s why she can just “lie there”, and not only doesn’t need to perform like a man, but shouldn’t. To insist otherwise is to inject toxic political ideology into a divine, natural sexual dynamic.
Female sexual performance is closer to artful expression. It varies substantially based on who she's with, mood, foreplay, intimacy, timing, etc..
It’s predominately predicated how attractive she finds him, which is a derivative of his actions, not his looks. Because most men are not physically desirable, male sexual-market value is based on performance, both in and out of the bedroom.
If a woman is "good in bed" it's a lens into the chemistry you two have; if a man is "good in bed" it's mostly a lens into the fact he understands this, and can elicit the aforementioned visceral reactions with his behaviors. You perform, she judges, and you both enjoy the experience.
I’M HARD VS I'M WET
I'm Hard
A man whispering into a woman's ear "I'm hard" doesn't spark arousal, because it doesn’t communicate anything useful or sought after. No shit dude, she knows you're hard. We'd all be hard. Men always want it, our sexual stimulation and desires are not coveted, in fact society creates rules to keep it in check and monetizes it (porn) because it’s so easy to manufacture.
Being horny is a baseline for us. This is why men are not the gatekeepers of sex, but of commitment. Nature intended it this way.
Men are reproductively dispensable, and societal views towards male sexuality implicitly understand this in how it judges it.
Women are born, men are made. Men are not valuable just by nature of existing; it’s why they instinctively understand they must perform to be worth anything. In the bedroom and outside of it.
Women are valuable by default, their worth is fundamentally not their performance. We have an embodied understanding of this innate value as a species in the rules and protections we create for them: women and children first off the sinking ship. Hitting a woman inspires an immune-system like reaction. No one pities a weak man. Nature intended it this way.
I'm Wet
A woman whispering into a man's ear "I'm wet" communicates something much more. It says “Your performance makes me want to perform, and if you keep it up we’re going to have a great time together.”
Women are the gatekeepers of sex, which means their arousal is coveted. Their stimulation and earning their desire is quite possibly the most sought-after thing in human history, next to land.
This means men are the agentic ones in bed: they must act, initiate, dictate, perform, dominate. Thus how “good in bed” men are is based on their actions, they can't just lie there. This is a natural sexual dynamic between man and woman, based on who must earn what.
> “That’s not true! I have a guy friend who likes to be pegged and is a findom paypig!”
Yeah man I know exceptions exist, and they prove the rule, they don’t refute it. That these exceptions are communicated as kinks illustrate that they’re uncommon, for the same reasons liking boobs and ass isn’t a fetish.
How she responds, how “good” she is, is largely based on what you do, natural chemistry, and comfort. Humans fit into dominance/submission hierarchies as naturally as ice accumulates on a windowpane in Alaska; this is especially the case sexually.
Dom/sub, bottom/top, do you both whip and tie each other up in BDSM? Does she bend you over after you do her? “Good girl” and “good boy” don’t exist in the same sexual encounter. One party consistently asks to be choked and has certain extremely well-documented violent sexual fantasies, and the other does not.
On an aside: I lived in NYC for ~7 years, the girl-boss feminists enjoy these extreme dynamics more than anyone. Political zealotry is often overcompensating for something else that latently lurks beneath…
I believe the reason many philosophers are borderline obsessed with sex is because the sexual/carnal is such a raw manifestation of natural hierarchical behavior and value expression. They implicitly understand it as a proxy for a great deal of seemingly unrelated human interaction.
Who is valuable just because? Who must act and who is acted upon? As you’re seeing in this essay, much can be extrapolated by who needs to perform, and who can just “lie there”.

Ha!
everything you love should get a nickname. ideally two, plus a jingle. for example:
a had a gf while in NYC with a magnificently fat ass. she was Russian, born there, migrated to US when she was like 5. she did not sufficiently appreciate her gloriously fat ass (white girl), however I very much did.
to highlight my adoration of her luminous bottom, one of my nicknames for her was Bottoms. she was not a fan of this.
she was also a moody girl (slavic) and could be a bit melancholic, forlorn, a “dark angel”. she needed little injections of joy but was too Russian to ask for it. one of my other nicknames for her was The Friendly Elf. she was not a fan of this.
when she was “on one”, being grumpy, or cantankerously yearnful, I would combine her nicknames into a jingle and sing to her 🎶 “Bottoms the Friendly Elf, the happiest girl on the planet…” 🎵. imagine someone named “Bottoms the Friendly Elf” being sad? you can’t! I would then demand she "turn that frown upside down” and sink my hands into those radiant cheeks and jiggle them, as God clearly intended.
the sheer cringe of a large, serious-looking man singing such things often would in fact turn that frown upside down! turns out she was a fan of all these tiny mischiefs, lovable foibles, and didn’t know what was good for her (woman).
always remember: all women are pretty gay (spiritually). as a man it’s your job to be not-gay. however, if you’re with a woman who’s really into you, self-aware of when you’re being cringe, and deploy it tastefully, it can really bring joy to their gay lil hearts.

while dating beautiful Russian woman in Belgrade she send me this. I laugh very hard (in American).
Dating tip: Russian women experience daily bouts of ennui and melancholic yearning (common slavic behavior). It's your job to force joy upon them.
When forlornness sets it, give her a kiss on the forehead and say “What ails you little snow latina? What would soothe my slavi mami and her peasant soul? Porridge made of turnips? Soup made of beets? Literature made of sadness?”
Any vexation is simply passion waiting to be sublimated into joy. They enjoy this.

Reminds me of one of my favorite aphorisms:
"Try to live a life your 8 year old self would have been proud of..."
you’re in the good ol’ days right now. make decisions your 70-year-old self will look back on fondly. when in doubt, do the thing. there are always infinite reasons to not do something.
don’t look for excuses why you shouldn’t, find any excuse why you should. plan the basics, you’ll figure the rest out along the way. learn by doing. go for it. default to do it. the burden of proof is on inaction. being boring is the only unforgivable sin.

Great piece.
I think very few writers today actually want to be read centuries from now, writing for posterity rather than their contemporaries.
If you refer to your writing as “content” it's the moral equivalent of a woman referring to her breasts as “jugs” or a composer calling his symphonies “tracks”. It's uncouth, unwashed, and you're molesting the timeline with your perverse lower-class airport-pigeon aesthetics.
It's no different than a big floppy Hooters waitress serving frozen buffalo wings at a Michelin restaurant. Spilling out of her wretched “content” booty shorts while feeding diners “engagement” fish sticks when they very clearly ordered the effortpost escargot! Disgraceful.
Technology lets the boorish and ill-suited partake in the ancient, sacred act of “here’s my take” at scale. What used to be an aristocratic practice is now inundated by the lumpen hordes, turnip class, and porridge electorate. They all must go back to the greasy fields from whence they came.
Do you post for the timeline, or to withstand the test of time? Do you seek to entertain, or endure? Which way Western writer?

There are a handful of quality Zoomer neologisms drifting around the discourse swamp, and “posting hole” may be the funniest and most spiritually accurate one.
It hits rare linguistic perfection where the phrase is devastatingly precise and embeds tacit ridicule in its simplicity.
Something that should retain private, intimate, sacred charge is instead wheeled out into the fluorescent public square like a roast beef sandwich at a county fair. Once you start broadcasting it for the algorithmic townsfolk, it stops being an object of mystery, desire, and erotic gravity. It’s demoted. Stripped of aura. No longer a kitty, clam, or vagina, it's reduced from coveted orifice to mere hole.
The phrase is crude because the act is crude. It refuses to romanticize the performance. It doesn’t permit the slut in question to imagine herself as a liberated sensual icon communing with the divine feminine through ring-light exposure. No. You are posting hole.
It deploys absurdist shaming by way of clinical literalism: taking the grand self-mythology of sexual exhibitionism and collapsing it into the bluntest possible anatomical description. It peels away the hole-peddler’s fake empowerment and simply points, names, and lets the humiliation bloom naturally.
Masterful work by the Zoomers. Occasionally, amid the vaping, horrible music, polycule situationships, and Tiktok attention spans, they manage to cook.
