I can see that. It sounds like a pimp to me by the way you describe.

This is why its critically important for men to understand the behavior and biology of women. Failure to do so will place you at the sword point of hypergamy. For most men, this will be the losing end of that sword point.

The ancients were aware of the above, but such knowledge and books would be deemed 'sexist' or 'misogyny' today.
