Here’s the article:

It’s a Google cache, because I know a lot of you guys don’t like Roosh V and don’t want to give his website hits. I post it anyway for discussion, because I think you guys are smart enough to realize that just because you don’t like the man doesn’t mean he has nothing to say or anything worth discussing.

The last two paragraphs really got me thinking. I often see trotted out, on this website and others on the manosphere, charts like these:

Now, I do recognize that I likely have not enough life experience to verify whether this chart is accurate or not, but I find it hard to believe, simply because it contradicts my preconceived notions and generally established truths.

It’s been generally regarded as true for a long time that women in their late teens and early twenties are in the prime of their life and have a great number of options (“flower of youth” and s~~~ like that); this is what makes what happens to Fantine in Les Misérables so tragic.

However, nowhere, outside of the manosphere, have I ever encountered the notion that a man at forty has as many options as a woman at twenty. Unlike that of women when they’re twenty, it’s not a general notion that men at forty have a lot of options; what is a general notion, however, is that men at forty are starting to put on weight, are starting to lose hair, and are having midlife crises.

I have heard from older men I know in real life that there is indeed a reversal in the dynamics between the sexes as you age, but from the way they talked it didn’t seem like it was that huge of a reversal, contrary to what that SMV chart would have you believe.

I think that the whole concept of “The Wall,” while certainly true to some extent as Roosh acknowledges in the beginning, is exaggerated because men want to believe that the universe is just; what’s more exaggerated, however, is the notion that a man’s SMV when he turns forty skyrockets (not wrong, just exaggerated).

Thoughts?
