The Rational Ram

A State-by-State Breakdown (His & Hers Filters Included) America isn’t one dating market. It’s 50 micro-economies of sex, loneliness, nightlife, and desperation. Let me preface this post by saying that “getting laid” vs dating with intention are different things. Being able to find prospects when you are dating with intention vs dating for attention and […]

Access to sex isn’t evenly distributed across America. Some states make it stupid-simple. Others make it feel like applying for a mortgage. The secret isn’t the people. It’s the ratios, the culture, and the competition level. Here’s the truth no one says out loud… FOR MEN: The Easiest States for Guys to Get Laid If […]

Let’s stop lying to each other. Beauty pageants aren’t “empowering,” they’re polite objectification of women wrapped in rhinestones. They’re Instagram before Instagram, except with judges old enough to be the fathers and grandfathers of the contestants. Every year we pretend these events are about “scholarship,” “character,” and “inner beauty,” while parading women across a stage […]

Not By Nature… But By Incentive.”** People, particularly the so-called manosphere, keep asking if women are “naturally narcissistic.” The short answer is no.

A little more approval-seeking… Then one day he looks in the mirror and doesn’t recognize the man staring back at him. That’s assuming he ever truly […]

Some guys spend more time arguing about who’s “alpha” than actually becoming someone worth following. If your masculinity is defined by memes, podcasts, and YouTube videos, but your life is full of fear, excuses, and unanswered texts… brother, you’re not a lion. You’re a house cat with a Wi-Fi connection. The internet sold too many […]

I preface this post by pointing out the fact that in the United States, only a handful of places are statistically skewed towards a male-heavy dating market. To recapitulate, the sex ratio is the number of men per 100 women in a given population. Only 11 states, Alaska, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Colorado, […]

This isn’t a “men are trash” or “women are manipulative” post. I don’t post that kind of content. Go find a Manosphere or extreme feminist blog or forum if you want that.😉 I only point out the obvious truth here with the goal of offering a rational perspective. I leave it to my readers to […]
