Fathers of daughters and young men navigating the current dating market will find this helpful, written by a zoomer girl about the so-called “sexual hellscape”:
There’s a certain kind of girl who grows up a little too fast: her shirts are a little too low cut, her manner of speaking a little too flirtatious. This kind of girl instinctively understands the power her sexuality can command; she knows little of how it can invite danger.
But her mother knows, and she will have her change her top before she leaves for school. This kind of “policing” of young women’s bodies violates progressive sensibilities. “Minors shouldn’t be sexualized!” they say, as if such legal technicalities prevent men from looking at a pretty pair of breasts. What progressives miss is that these kinds of boundaries set by parents, schools, and the larger community serve an important protective function, they safeguard young girls from acting in a manner they may later regret.
However, within the current sex-positive framework, such constraints are seen as old-fashioned and oppressive. Now, if a young woman wants to, she can dress as if she’s 21 at the age of 15, and post pictures of herself on public social media for all to see. In fact, she is incentivized to, both by the sex-positive paradigm, and by the fact that social media clout confers status.

When counterfeit or substandard products are indistinguishable from authentic, premium quality, the eventual result is that even the best products are treated as inferior.
Women are experts at concealing, disguising, or downplaying their flaws. Men become accustomed to being tricked, misled, or exploited. Bitterness and resentment germinates among young bachelors, as this trend intensifies and expands over time. Men expect an information asymmetry, which is that women can deceive them, which creates a posture of preemptive distrust.
Gresham’s law postulates “bad money drives out good money.” We can apply this economic logic to the sexual marketplace, which is that in an era of suspicion, paranoia, distrust, betrayal, promiscuity, and de facto casual prostitution, young men begin to resent women as a group — even beautiful young virgins are treated as sluts, and whores.
War between the sexes erupts.
Resources
If you want more resources particularly for men, I recommend the old Alpha Game Plan blog by one Vox Day, which I preserved the entirety of it in PDF format, which you can get here .
VD also has a relatively new blog, Sigma Game. If you’re wondering, no, this is not strictly related to the “sigma grind” memes and click-bait channels you’ve seen. VD is actually the origin of the term “sigma”, among others, within the male socio-sexual hierarchy.
And if all this appears new to you or think Game theory’s only application is to “get laid” or that it reduces the sexes to mere biological impulses, I highly recommend coming at this material with no pre-judgment. And not everything regarding intra-sexual dynamics or the male SSH has moral import, but useful tools in your kit, whether it comes to dating, marriage, work, your parents, your church, etc. You can of course certainly use such information and observations to make wise and moral decisions inasmuch as you can use it for evil or dyscivic ends.
It’s not as if this is a new thing anyhow, as Sirach 9 states:
Do not be jealous of the wife of your bosom,
and do not teach her an evil lesson to your own hurt.
Do not give yourself to a woman
so that she gains mastery over your strength.
Do not go to meet a loose woman,
lest you fall into her snares.
Do not associate with a woman singer,
lest you be caught in her intrigues.
Do not look intently at a virgin,
lest you stumble and incur penalties for her.
Do not give yourself to harlots
lest you lose your inheritance.
Do not look around in the streets of a city,
nor wander about in its deserted sections.
Turn away your eyes from a shapely woman,
and do not look intently at beauty belonging to another;
many have been misled by a woman’s beauty,
and by it passion is kindled like a fire.
Never dine with another man’s wife,
nor revel with her at wine;
lest your heart turn aside to her,
and in blood you be plunged into destruction.
Or Sirach 42:
A daughter keeps her father secretly wakeful,
and worry over her robs him of sleep;
when she is young, lest she do not marry,
or if married, lest she be hated;
while a virgin, lest she be defiled
or become pregnant in her father’s house;
or having a husband, lest she prove unfaithful,
or, though married, lest she be barren.
Keep strict watch over a headstrong daughter,
lest she make you a laughingstock to your enemies,
a byword in the city and notorious among the people,
and put you to shame before the great multitude.
And who is not, at least if you’re a delta or bravo, impressed when a natural alpha effortlessly commands the attention of the room and the gaze of the exceptionally beautiful woman? So Proverbs 30:
Three things are too wonderful for me;
four I do not understand:
the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a serpent on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a maiden.
