Sentence Summary: “Since modern women don't care to reciprocate the interest and investment men have in them, then women deserve less of your time, money, and energy” In times past, this was not the case. Men and women needed each other, and as a consequence would team up to form families. Families that would not only provide love, purpose, and meaning in life, but would be the foundation that all of society and civlization was built upon. But the perfect political and economic storm has formed that has liberated women from men, making it so women no longer need men to survive. And what every man alive today in the first world is witnessing is how truly little interest women have in men. Yes, hateful body-shaming has no place, but Women think telling girls that being unhealthy is to be admired does? That’s EXACTLY what pandering gets you. A misrepresentation of reality. A lie to make you feel good in the moment while long term you only truly suffer. It’s just like how irresponsible people treat credit cards, “Don’t pay now, just pay later!” Get the validation you seek now and sweep the rest under the rug so you can suffer later. The title and language of the book is provocative but the core message which can be summarised in two points is valid. But hard as it is to accept this reality, you must, because if you don’t you will do nothing short of destroy your life. Because whereas in the past a man’s sex drive is what drove him to become the best man he could be - providing for his family, protecting them, and ultimately building civilization - today it is your biggest weakness. Because while women no longer need you today, they’re not stupid enough to turn down any free help you’re willing to give them. And many know if they dangle the prospect of sex in front of you, you will provide them money, attention, and resources, essentially making you their part-time slave.

Don't have enough money saved up for retirement? No problem. Never started a 401k or IRA? Don't worry. And are you so far behind in your personal finances you're worried you'll never be able to retire? It's all good. Because whether you know it or not, the entire US retirement system is horribly flawed and was doomed to fail anyway. And that's why every American needs to listen to Poor Richard's Retirement. The Male Advantage looks at the hidden advantage all males were born with. Somehow 99% of men have grown up unaware of their true power. Tangent: Funny thing is not long ago I was having a conversation with a girl who was trying to find the right guy and before she could finish her sentence about her struggles I was able to do it for her. “It’s just that…” then I said “it’s hard to know if it’s the right guy because there are so many options” and she paused and sighed “yeah”. If you put your feelings aside its not hard to see. But if you do anything other than agree with the statement that “big is beautiful” then you can be sure people will come after you. It's filled with "statistics" interpreted with bent rhetoric explaining to men how this proves the world is unfair to them, how great it is for women, how stupidly women behave, how fundamentally useless women are "in the world of men". Its actual knowledge of history and contemporary culture is razor-thin.know that most relationships are not going to work out. And not only are they not going to work out, but they are also going to be short-lived. Women will move on to a new guy, a better guy, a different guy, their ex, or simply “not you.” It might take a week, might take a whole year, but KNOW that most of your relationships will end as she moves on.” Also notice how you have never in your life seen “Big is beautiful” or any statement like that directed towards Men. What does that tell you? The younger you are and the more active the girls you are interested in are on social media, the more this chapter applies to you. If you ever paid attention to how girls talk amongst themselves you can definitely see how his tone in this book would upset them (as it’s not what they are used to).

There are myriad reasons why a book like this gets made. I don't disagree that society has failed men in a big way these past few decades, but men who feel lost with women are done little to no favors with a book like this. They're given bad models to view women by, faulty theories for how they got into their situation, and toxic and unhelpful solutions about what to do.

Men are taught to take women at their word, be nice, and always be a gentleman. Men are taught to "do the right thing," while women are taught "do the right thing for you.” While I have NOT seen a single hate filled or childish review from Men bashing Women on here, I will still say keep on loving Women (as I know you do) and understand that none of these kind of discussions (in the book, my review or elsewhere) should leave you harboring any kind of resentment towards Men or Women. Strictly use it as a source of information to shine light on things you may not have noticed otherwise. All that should tell you that very, very few Women are going to be able to give you a useful review of this book with any actual substance. Few are objective, and even fewer are objective AND understand the landscape.
