I can't quite make my mind up whether this is hilarious or fucking terrifying.

ubik · 02/02/2013 12:57

Can I ask what you mean by 'hard wired?'

BelaLugosisShed · 02/02/2013 12:52

I love evo-bollocks, it makes such perfect sense.

It's great that these idiots publicise just how moronic they really are - much like the tossers who go round in those hilarious "nice legs, what time do they open" type t-shirts , saves women the trouble of wasting time actually talking to them to find out.

SerenityX · 02/02/2013 12:45

By 'evo bollocks' I assume you mean evolution and scientific research into behaviour, chemical & physiology changes? I would add to it that there have been a lot ethnographic data and cultural changes as well as the structure of societies which have had a tremendous impact.

In fact one could argue that most of the evolution has been at the pyschological and pathological level and not at the physical level. The chemical secretions have not changed. People still emit the same pheromones and chemicals like oxytocin. The brain works the same with neurotransmitters firing off to try to make sense if the external stimuli by creating connections and feeding these back as paterns & memory matching.

The only difference now is the chemicals can be bought over the Internet. Salesmen love spraying themselves down with oxytocin to make it easier to sell you that used car. Sure the secondary market is psychopaths and guys desperate to get women into bed.I know a magician who swears by his special cologne whichs people more suggestionable. Fascinating!

Lots of recent studies have been done to show that despite all the changes and living in a modern society we still have the 'human condition' as part of the same animal kingdom with similarities to apes still evident.

Never watched TopGear but it sounds dreadful. If it indeed it is as stupid as you say it is. And I thought all that nonsense about horroscopes was bad.

This is my favourite source - www.apa.org/pubs/journals/

This is a brilliant article - but you need to register - paid subscription.

Apologies that you found the links too dumb for you but I was trying to find a link for free that referenced the same research and factual principles of what happens when people fall for love tactics.

I take your point that it does seem dumb that despite all the evolution we still have some serious shortcomings in being able to overcome 'hard wiring'.

My current work is looking at how cults still successfully operate, pyramid marketing schemes, advertising, consumerism, religion etc. still can influence us. Be great if there was a pill we could take or give to people to 'wake them up' from their delusions but we can't.

The only option so far is education, laws to protect people who take advantage of human shortcomings and continued research as well as support.

hahaha < thump >

FastidiaBlueberry · 02/02/2013 12:32

I blame evo-bollocks.

Which is a sub-set of patriarchy, which is ultimately to blame.

How can people write this shit and not be embarrassed?

Or is it ironic?

It's hard-wired for women to like pink as well, because of its connotations with menstrual blood. And they like mops because during evolution, they found that men with really messy hair (like mops) brought home most unicorn-flesh. I have no evidence whatsoever for this, but nevertheless it is true and accounts for why women should do more housework than men.

And men like blue because during the ice-age, their dicks went blue on account of the cold. And they have some sort of genetic memory of that which means that now they have a hard-wired instinct to wrap their boy-children in blue as a nod to that era.

And now I'm going to shoot myself.

" It is hard wired in men's brains to want to be the leader and hunter in the relationship. Basic primal instincts"

Hmm

I despair

FastidiaBlueberry · 02/02/2013 12:18

Property?

I missed that bit.

Scary

AmberLeaf · 02/02/2013 12:16

When you finally do get in you?ll have the pleasure of saying, into her ear, ?you?re my property now?

What a dick.

FastidiaBlueberry · 02/02/2013 12:13

And one of them is not even a hamster.

AnyFucker · 02/02/2013 12:04

Is it reconstructed, or unreconstructed I mean?. Something looks wrong there.

Top Gear presenters are twats anyway, that I am sure of

AnyFucker · 02/02/2013 12:03

Top Gear would look quite reconstructed after some of the shite you see online Smile

FastidiaBlueberry · 02/02/2013 11:59

"It is hard wired in men's brains to want to be the leader and hunter in the relationship. Basic primal instincts."

It is actually hard-wired in patriarchy, to spout silly evo-bollocks about men being hard-wired blah di blah.

Hunter?

Purlease.

How much stupidity can one woman take on a Saturday morning? Should I just turn on Top Gear and be done with it?

SerenityX · 02/02/2013 11:34

He probably does very well. A lot of what he says is psychologically sound. Based on principles of human behaviour and persuasion. The was a very good book called 'Split Second Persuassion' and articles in magazines like New Scientist. The Valentine's Day edition of NS is always and interesting read at de-mystifying love/lust into nothing more than the body & mind entering a sate of an oxytocin high and duping yourself into thinking what you want.

Of course it eventually wears off and hopefully by that time your relationship has more solid ground of mutual respect, imbedded self image (seeing yourself as part of the relationship), co-dependency (some sort of mutual need - caring for a child or increased standard of life) and complacency.

He is by far not the only one and one of the least disturbing. At least his advice is towards getting a girlfriend and not one night stands.

He also advises 6-7s and to avoid confident alpha women. Again you go into any city bar and most beautiful women will be alone and ignored. Guys will assume they are too hard to get and too much work. Their rise up the corporate ladder becomes a self fulfilling proficy to compensate for a lack of relationships. The guys beautiful women attract tend to be the real slime balls!

His tactics are nothing new. This is why men go to Thailand, date younger women (less experienced) and like women to earn less than they do. It is hard wired in men's brains to want to be the leader and hunter in the relationship. Basic primal instincts.

Plus dating down men feel they are getting a good deal.

The real downside is that are a lot worse that tell guys to choose vulnerable (emotionally & low self image) to turn them into prostitutes. That Asian ring in the news now chose runaways and girls from broken families and abused them in the most demeaning ways.

I think every young girl should read more and understand how her mind works and can play tricks on her.

If you ask anyone who has ever been in abusive relation they key warning sign was 'Charm'. The antidote is EDUCATION and not getting fooled.

This article resonates because it is exactly the kind of tutorial and profile an abusive man would want in a woman. Of course not all men attracted to these type of women would be abusers. Just that the abusers would rule out anyone confident and assertive or very good looking. They also would not want less attractive women either because their need comes from their own insecurity and needing their ego fed. It is a complete myth that anyone woman could end up in an abusive relationship. voices.yahoo.com/relationships-women-whom-abusive-men-would-never-date-6583654.html?cat=41

Hope this helps!

What a silly man, advertising his inadequacy to the whole wide world

FastidiaBlueberry · 02/02/2013 10:57

There are lots of really, really inferior men around.

Grin
MrsKeithRichards · 02/02/2013 10:56

That's some scary shit, his knuckle dragging followers seem grateful for the advice, which is worrying.

JakeBullet · 02/02/2013 10:35

Thanks for linking to this. I am a "shy girl"who shuns men .....and blogs like this show me how right I am not to bother with relationships. Okay so I know not all men are like this but quite honestly I cannot be bothered to sort the wheat from the chaff. My son will be brought upto respect both himself and women.

Softlysoftly · 02/02/2013 10:25

He truly disturbed, I'm guessing though that he sits in all day eating steak working on his weights and wanking so woman kind should be safe.

Saying that though dv exists so perhaps he ought to be locked away for safety

PretzelTime · 02/02/2013 09:25

Let's hope he is inept and never gets close to any girls.
Unfortunately he is just one among many guys who are spreading the PUA mentality. Those other how to's and blogs that I've seen are about how to raise your confidence by looking down on ladies and objectifying them, targeting women with bad self-confidence so you can "neg" them, how to get alone with your target as quickly as possibly so she can't change her mind and say no to sex. Vile stuff.

MidnightMasquerader · 02/02/2013 08:09

A least he is out there making his complete ineptness known to womankind....

SolidGoldBrass · 01/02/2013 23:54

Actually, I thought better and read it. It's hilarious. This guy probably can't even interact with a check-out worker without wetting his pants in fright. It's a magnificent depiction of a thick no-mates who's never had sex with anything other than his teddy bear.

SolidGoldBrass · 01/02/2013 23:51

CBA to read the blog, but the whole point of blogs is that any fuckwit with an opinion, however stupid, can have a blog and air his/her idiotic views. Why draw attention to one arsehole among millions?

FastidiaBlueberry · 01/02/2013 12:13

This bloke is dangerous to women.

He's clearly a very abusive person.
