Game Imbalance Hypothesis
This is the
first in a three-part series on regional sexual selection pressures.
This piece introduces the concept of “game
imbalance”, defines it, and posits it as a contributing cause of
men’s difficulties with women.
I have an alternate theory why certain classes of men struggle
with women far more than certain other classes do, on average.
Alternate from what most guys cite: looks discrimination, racial
discrimination, height discrimination, income discrimination, etc.
The one we’ve been seeing the most complaints from on the discussion boards lately are men of Indian descent. Asian and Arab guys struggle a lot as well. Of course, men of all races complain about their inabilities to succeed with women (and I’ve heard plenty of success stories and known personally plenty of successful guys from all of these racial groups), but some of these race-level complaints are far more ubiquitous than others.
So what makes the difference?
I have a theory. Actually, a hypothesis. I’d like to call it “game imbalance hypothesis.”
And if you’ll walk with me a moment, I’ll show you how I think the effect the hypothesis describes is hampering certain men and favoring others in the sexual marketplace.







We’ve discussed why if the aim is to sleep with or even
get into
relationships with women, you’re normally better off cultivating the
image of “great potential lover” rather than the image of “great
potential boyfriend” that the majority of men compete on (or, even
worse, “great potential friend”) a number of times here already.
A reader named Robert writes in:
Ah,
cougars. Still a category of woman that every man longs to experience
at least once in his life. Every man has a different reason for why he
would like to be with one, maybe it’s because their girlfriend had a
hot mom when they were younger, perhaps it is due to the fact that they
had a really attractive teacher growing up, but, one way or another,
there is definitely a certain allure to having sex with an older woman.
