Female Sexual Strategies: Love Game and Slut Game

In furthering my examination on  Actual Value versus Sexual Market Value , I thought it important to review female sexual strategy.

To define terms: I define AV as essentially having qualities that will allow you to navigate modern life effectively. AV might be impulse control and intelligence- the manifestation of which is a good job and someone who will provide good judgment to co-worker, friends, and his partner. AV might also be a caring trustworthy person- the kind that makes a good friend and a good partner (but is not a component of SMV). SMV is being attractive to women.

Overview
As I dwelled on this, it struck me that feminism has shifted women from playing "Love Game" to "Slut Game". Women have been commanded by feminism to be "empowered" - and to pursue relationships the same way men do (that is- play the field; have sex and go from there).

Love Game is entering the market to find a long-term partner. That's it. You're not looking for hook-ups. It is a willful, conscious decision to play the long game. "Slut Game" is entering the sexual marketplace. The primary mentality here is "I'm looking to see if there's attraction, and go from there".

They may also say "I'm not looking for anything serious". 90% of women today play Slut game. In their 20s especially, they are not looking for the guy with the right traits for a 50-year marriage but for attraction and "fun". It's important also to note that one marketplace is about Love, the other is about Infatuation.

Finally, most women don't know which game they're playing. It used to be that dating was testing the waters to find Mr. Right for marriage. But now dating is often more in the camp of "Slut Game". Given feminism's elevation of female short-term worldview, future orientation and looking for traits like compatibility aren't sexy or fun - so they fall by the wayside.

As I'll go over, most women only play "Love Game" when it's too late and they are damaged. Until then it's "Slut Game" all the way.

Love Game
Pre-feminism, women played "love game"- they were attracted to positive traits more aligned with AV (in part because society and family steered them that way); they demonstrated traits attractive in a female partner long-term (cooking, boasted about being able to care for a man) and also were drawn to those kinds of traits in a man they would be with for years and years.

When you play "love game" you become a different person and have a totally different mindset.

First, a woman must arrest her 'gina tingles. And yes, that did happen. Next, a woman is specifically looking at a guy if he can be a good provider, a good partner, a good father - and someone who'll sincerely care for them for the rest of their lives. Unsurprisingly, in "love game", decent guys with Actual Value fare well. Your professors, scientists, blue-collar workers, office workers, etc. The guys who show a combination of ability and positive character. Why? Because those traits lend themselves to the roles described. A guy with a tattoo, acting standoffish, and flirting with other girls doesn't match these traits (as much as they may get the Hamster spinning).

Love Game worked exceptionally well for women for millennia. A woman would offer her sexuality in her prime AND an offer to be complement the man and work at making the relationship successful. Love Game actually earned a woman love, a committed partner, and her own family and kids.

Slut Game
Today, with feminism (esp. 3rd wave feminism), women play "Slut game"- they are in the sexual marketplace, not the relationship marketplace first and foremost. So they value SMV (not AV) at least in their 20s. Different attitude. Whereas Love Game forces women to use their left brain (rational) to make longer term assessments of character, "Slut game" has conceded entirely to the right brain (emotional).

The Hamster intrudes in Love Game but is overridden, whereas in Slut Game, the Hamster is driving and the conscious mind is in the backseat hopelessly issuing caution. In Slut game, it's vital to know that most women don't actually think they're playing slut game. Modern women confuse infatuation for love. They are looking for "cute guys" or "boys" ('gina tingles).

When a guy poses as an alpha and runs game on them, they "feel a deep connection" and think he may be the one. LOL. Roosh boards are filled with these stories. It's not love, obviously. Women think it's gauche at 22 to announce their intentions for marriage. They think it will scare the man away. But more than anything they want their cake and eat it too. They are living for the moment and that means "what feels good" is good.

Slut game has absolutely destroyed the character of the modern woman and is justified by the false notion that women can apply the same sexual strategy as men- and be just fine. Turns out they can't. They follow their instincts into dead-end relationships with guys with higher SMV, get dumped 10-50 times, and develop deep psychological issues and general resentment at "men" as a result.

Transitioning to Love Game after Slut Game does not work
At some point (age 30) they try to transition to "love game" but most of them can't fake it. They've been psychologically damaged by being pumped and dumped relentlessly (despite trying to nail down an alpha for LTR in MANY cases)- women couple love and sex, and their inability to convert the latter into the former leaves them disillusioned in both.

Female survivors of the cock carousel are 'walking wounded' with serious baggage. Many of them are what Rational Male calls 'alpha widows'- unable to build romantic attraction towards betas because they internally feel they've gotten 'validation' by alphas (by being f*cked by them). In short, they are damaged goods in trying to court a beta-male provider for marriage and they can't even work up that much enthusiasm for the consolation prize in any case.

You will often see women in their 30s being emphatic about not wanting "players" and going on and on. They are simply revealing the qualities why no man can now love them- their inherent bitterness, psychological damage, and male resentment from the carousel. All in all, chasing SMV traits in her 20s puts a woman in poor stead for all the reasons mentioned to attract a man with AV in her 30s for LTR/marriage.

Lurker Sluts: Playing "love game" is a bit gauche and less exciting but offers the best chance at long-term happiness. The chances of you finding a long-term partner on Tinder are low but the liklihood that getting chewed up and spit out in the sexual marketplace and having that damage your psyche enough to invalidate you in the LTR marketplace is actually pretty high. The number of beta males you can sucker into marriage after slut game is dwindling due to red pill.

A few more differences
Slut Game backfires on women because they put out too easily and confuse physical intimacy with emotional intimacy. They also confuse enlivening wordplay with emotional intimacy. Come to think of it - women are not very good at ascertaining when there is actually emotional intimacy anymore.

I have to laugh sometimes when I witness 30-something ex-Slut Gamer women trying to play relationship game. It is truly hilarious. They will try to make the man wait 6 dates for sex as overcompensation for their past sluttiness. Then they're surprised no one wants them. You can make a man wait IF you are in your sexual prime, you are acting totally feminine, and you show potential long-term value as a female partner. It doesn't work otherwise. Playing Love Game correctly means yes, making your partner wait, but also showing these other positive traits -- IN YOUR 20s. (not punishing some stranger for the fact that higher SMV guys dumped you in the past for playing Slut game)

The Nice Guy
Lately, alphas, sluts, and PUAs have created this meme that the nice guy is selfish, deviant, lame, etc. The truth is the Nice Guy is acting in a way that emphasizes traits conducive to women playing Love Game- however it turns out few women are still playing Love Game. Decent guys are just that - decent. They're not lying about their intentions; they are courting for LTR not just the quick bang. They actually think women want all the things they said they wanted- being treated nicely, being listened to, a gentleman. They make the mistake of taking women at their word. They say he is "pretending" to be a friend so as to get sex; that he "is a coward who is hiding his sexual interest". But qualities like being a good listener, caring, chivalarous matter in love game (not just demonstrating sexual value and sexual interest). Actual Value matters in Love Game.

When PUAs boast of being overt about sexual intention, they are assuming Slut Game. In a 50-year marriage, sex is only one component. There are others. But where PUAs are right is that most women today are in fact in the Sexual Marketplace exclusively. Nice Guys are tailoring their courtship approach to Love Game whereas women have moved on to Slut Game. PUAs have adapted their approach to Slut Game, MGTOWs have largely observed that participating in Slut Game isn't worth it, and blue-pillers assume Love Game and get chewed up in a woman's Slut Game and generally hostile mindset.

Conclusion
When women were consciously playing Love Game, men with Actual Value were prized. Thanks to feminism, ascendance of the Hamster, elevating of a woman's short-term thinking, Slut Game rules and in that world, the alpha cokehead with tattoos is king. In other words, SMV rules. Women who play Slut Game can't effortlessly transition later to Love Game because abandonment has altered their personality.

Generally, women don't know what game they're playing so it's not simple for them to correct the problem. Women will rationalize Slut Game as a legitimate 'pursuit of love', as "female agency", as blah blah blah blah blah -- but at the end of the day, they have never been philosophers. They never see the big picture.
