The Rational Ram

A video clip from internet relationship guru and YouTuber Sadia Khan mentions something I’d frankly never considered with regard to “simping” and promiscuous behavior, particularly by women. The gist of Sadia Khan’s statement is when desire becomes cheap and attention becomes free, the market collapses for the people who actually want love. Modern dating isn’t […]

Every time someone says “Where are all the good men?” a good man rolls his eyes — because he’s been standing in plain sight the whole time. 1️⃣ The Brutal Translation “Where are all the good men?” Often means: Where are all the good men who are already attracted to me, ready to commit to […]

Let me preface my post by saying that I don’t subscribe to the so-called manosphere’s propaganda regarding “the wall,” and suggesting that women absolutely hit it at an early age and men don’t have a wall to hit at all. The metaphorical wall for men is the same as it is for women and for […]

Ask women what they want and you’ll hear the usual checklist: kind, confident, stable, honest. But watch who they crave, obsess over, or stay loyal to, and you’ll notice something else—an edge. Not danger, not toxicity, not arrogance—but a distinct quality that separates him from the “nice guys” and predictable men. So what is that […]

Two genders, same delusion — just different motives. Everyone swears they’re “evolved” now. Monogamy is “old-fashioned.” Commitment is “a cage.” But scratch the surface of every so-called open relationship and you’ll find one commonality… Someone is trying to fix a private wound with public attention. For men, it’s usually ego dressed up as freedom. For […]

Why the book is influential—but also deeply flawed, misunderstood, and often misused. Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power is one of the most quoted, weaponized, and cherry-picked books of the last 25 years. It’s on the nightstands of CEOs, criminals, Instagram hustlers, politicians, rappers, pickup artists, faux philosophers, and insecure men who think “emotional […]

We have the late Kevin Samuels to thank for propagating the term “high-value man.” People love to talk about “high-value men” and “high-value women” like it’s some exclusive VIP club guarded by men with six-pack abs, six figure incomes, and symmetrical facial features. Let’s be clear… Money and looks might get you attention, but they […]

I wrote about “useless degrees” previously on this blog. The premise of that post is that purpose of pursuing a college degree isn’t to gain vocational training. No degree is “useless,” unless you think an education is the same as a vocation. People should look up the words education and vocation and learn the difference, […]

The friend-zone isn’t an accident. It’s a strategic holding pattern women use when they like and enjoy a man’s loyalty, attention, and emotional labor—but don’t feel attracted enough to him to commit to him. They don’t want him, but they also don’t want him gone; they want him available. What they never consider is that […]

Ladies, there comes a point in a woman’s life when the thrill starts to fade — when the same kind of man who once made her heart race now just makes her eyes roll. That’s usually the moment she realizes she’s spent too many years chasing “Chad” and “Tyrone.” You know the type. “Chad” is […]
