The Rational Ram

I wrote about the unrealistic expectations that some women subscribe to in dating and relationships, but none are more unrealistic and ridiculous than the set of mythical expectations I articulate in this post. In dating conversations—especially online—there’s a common trope about what women allegedly want in a man: the “six sixes.” It’s said that the […]

Preface: I have written posts on this topic in the past. While my position on this subject is largely unchanged, it has undergone a nuanced evolution. An evolution I hope to adequately convey with this post. The term “sexual market value” (SMV) has become popular in online dating discussions and the manosphere, often used to […]

This is the second post in the series Cheating often feels thrilling and harmless in the moment—like something you can control, keep secret, or walk away from unscathed. But reality always hits harder than expected. People who cheat usually realize the truth far too late, after the damage is done. Here are 10 harsh truths […]

Preface: I have addressed the subject of female hypergamy on this blog, notably in my series of posts that critique the so-called manosphere. However, in the time that has passed since I posted that series, my perspectives on the subject have shifted a bit. While I think female hypergamy is a very real and natural […]

Preface: This post is a slightly deeper dive into the female dual-mating strategy. Personally speaking, I don’t think all women subscribe to this strategy. However, it is the height of naivety to think that a fair number of women don’t at least subconsciously subscribe to this strategy, rooted in evolutionary psychology. It is my belief […]

Preface: This is the first post in a series of posts I will submit that covers the topic of infidelity/cheating. These posts are from my personal experience and perspectives, so they will cover things from a heterosexual perspective. However, the dynamics of cheating are applicable to any romantic relationship. In my research before committing to […]

I decided months ago to pivot my content away from politics and into philosophy and relationship dynamics. The reason for my pivot is fourfold: I think relationships in the Western world are in a crisis, especially amongst young people. I want to do what I can, in some small way, to put good advice, guidance, […]

In a culture obsessed with reinvention, it has become fashionable to dismiss monogamy and marriage as relics of a bygone era. Social media is filled with hot takes about “relationship freedom,” open marriages, and the idea that traditional commitments are unnatural or oppressive. But is this narrative grounded in truth—or is it a symptom of […]

In today’s fast-paced world of constant stimulation, many people—especially women navigating modern dating—mistake stability for boredom. A man who is reliable, consistent, and emotionally steady can sometimes be unfairly labeled as “unexciting,” while the unpredictable “bad boy” gets all the attention. But this confusion often leads to heartbreak, missed opportunities, and long-term regret. 1. The […]

Preface: This is a follow-up post on my recently uploaded post on the Greek types of love, which I held in draft for almost a year as I researched the topic to “get smarter” on the subject before completing the post. This post is a natural follow-up focused on how you, my readers, can use […]
