I see this view a lot in certain "enlightened" alt-right spheres on the internet and it's more of a romanticized delusion than actual reality. I'm not sure which Golden Ages you are referring to, but if you are referring to Greek and Roman golden ages for example, they had a lot of iffy things. Greeks and Romans were pretty much par on course for pederasty (little boy boinking) and slavery. Not to mention all the other terrible things they did to other to advance their civilization. By all modern definitions, that's not moral at all. Just because some civilization gets smart and builds shiny architecture, produces great art, and makes breakthroughs in science doesn't mean they are moral in any sense. I don't want to invoke Godwin's Law, but the Nazis were making incredible breakthroughs in technology and building things that would "last for a thousand years" while killing gays and midgets in camps (not to mention that jew thing). Not very nice thing to do. The truth is that civilization has always been dirty and as you will see, extremely competitive.Ghost wrote:Women are not meant to be competed over. That never turns out well. The of history's successful and prosperous societies saw moral men banding together to co-dominate women. Men competing for women is a stupid idea and a massive waste of resources and creative effort.travelsouth wrote:Competition has always existed in this world, and there have always been some men crying about it. This would have been true even before feminism corrupted the west.
Speaking of competition, you're well on your way to seeing just how well you'll compete with the daddygov. Though I do not wish learning that the hard way on any man.
Men never banded together to "co-dominate" women. Research has shown that about 80% of women that ever lived had reproduced, as opposed to 40% of men. The vast majority of women were able to pass down their line while the majority of men (60%) never did. Other, more recent research has suggested that humans evolved in a polygynous system were "where a few men have access to most of the women" so this lopsided ratio makes sense.
In fact, you could argue that it's because of this asymmetric system that motivates young men to succeed and create "golden ages." Men compete because they want access to women. Women never want any guy, they want high value men. As a man, you have to gain value and make something of yourself. The greatest weapon a woman has is her beauty (albeit a very fragile weapon). The greatest weapon we men have is our hard work and accomplishments. That's why an 18-year-old girl is wayyyy more valuable than some 18-year-old guy, while a 40-year-old established gentleman is way more valuable than some used up hag of the same age. You have to make something of yourself as a male in order to get quality poon. There's no other way around it. This is the dilemma men all men in all periods of time have faced. This is the everyone on this board has faced and many are still facing.
There's good news though. Statistically and historically, most of you guys should never succeed and get any women at all, but we live in an age with access to literally all of human knowledge on our phones and the ability to buy plane tickets. Could you imagine being a single male during the Middle Ages? Don't even think about flying to another country to travel and meet women. There was no such thing. Don't think about learning new skills or starting an e-commerce business...or any business. You had nothing, You knew nothing. No one showed you any better way. You were going to end up dying on a battlefield sexless just like all those other idiots at the behest of some rich castle-owning douchebag and his 20 mistresses.
However, we also live in a world with incredible distractions (video games and cat videos), obesity, media propaganda, and atomization of the individual so it isn't easy to pull off. Everyone is depressed. Everyone is hazy about life. Everyone is putting on a fake front or just apathetic. And the old ways of gaining value like college + job no longer work so well. Thus, you have to work incredibly hard and incredibly smart, most likely for many years to make something of yourself in this time and age. But it's up to particular guy to do it.
