This thread has moved very fast since the last day I checked in. At the risk of not reading what has been posted in the last few pages....

This "self-pride" that you speak of is what also prevents men from approaching women and letting them know of their sexual interest. In many ways, it is not self-pride at all, but fear.
I can think of numerous reasons a man might not approach a woman he has sexual interest in. Fear is one reason. A justified one, I'd say, especially when you live in a country where a harmless approach could get the cops called in.
In these times that we live in should we really be encouraging men to do
more approaching?
Also, to your walking wallet point, giving a girlfriend allowance is far less a case of a walking wallet than ordinary husbands or wannabe boyfriends who spend fortunes in excess of a girlfriend allowance as a matter of course.
They are both cases of being a walking wallet. I do not endorse either. (at least not in the West)
So I would admonish you to consider if you would feel yourself a walking wallet, than you clearly have very little to offer the girl aside from the allowance. That is where working on oneself comes in.
The idea that being uncomfortable with sexual bribery must necessarily mean that a man has very little to offer is absurd. You are valuing women too highly. What do
they have to offer that is so great other than a few holes and a pretty face? (if that)
What is so great about her company that a man should be transferring his wealth to a woman just for the privilege of it?
I'm with Tom Leykis on this. "Your company is worth as much as anybody else's. You're a fool to buy the argument that a woman is giving you her company, and therefore you owe her. You owe her to buy her dinner, you owe it to buy her concert tickets, you owe it to buy her drinks. It's just wrong. Wrong. And I won't do it.... It is one of the reasons I am a multi-millionaire. I think back on the hundreds and thousands of dollars, maybe tens of thousands of dollars I've saved.... My bottom line for you is stop transferring wealth to females, in every possible way."
Women, from a purely biological standpoint, have more sexual market value than men, period. If that is not already clear to you, you are not at all ready to have a discussion of this nature. Men produce millions of new sperm a day, while women have approximately 500 eggs to be ovulated in a lifetime and only a brief fertility window unlike men. This is Biology 101 and it is factual.
Where you are getting confused is that men of status have more OVERALL value than women in terms of intelligence, wealth, power, etc. It is important to note that geneticists realize that 80 percent of women in human history reproduced while only 20 percent of men did. Let that sink in. So adjusting your strategy with the choicest women available is what distinguishes you from the crowd of men in that regard.
So the sexual market is out of sync with overall value. That's reason enough to reject it.
If someone tries to sell you a thing for many times more than it's actually worth you are justified in walking away from the deal, regardless of whether or not you were capable of meeting the inflated price.
Actually no. The red pill is about men understanding the true nature of women, not about complaining why women are the way they are. If you are not in a position to provide a girlfriend allowance, I won't hold that against you. What I WILL hold against you is holding the almost feminine belief of, "If a woman cannot appreciate your value without the use of a recurring bribe, forget her." That is female energy and a female type quip that too many men take on in the West. It is NOT what will get you the very hot chicks that are otherwise out of your reach.
No, for a man to recognize his own value apart from what females want out of men is
empowering. It is anything but a female type quip. It is the antithesis of feminine think.
