Why Women Deserve Less Book Review + Summary
An Honest and Objective Summary
1 Sentence Summary: “Modern women don't care to reciprocate the interest and investment you have in them, so women deserve less of your time, money, and energy”
The overall premise is women deserve less because now more than ever they have options galore and they aren’t valuing your time and effort to any respectable degree. Give them less of your attention & energy, especially online, but in dating as well.
Women flake, fake interest, ignore you like you never existed, use social media and dating sites purely for attention & an ego boost, they use you to cure boredom, use online dating as a game with no intention of taking it seriously (just look at most girls bio’s and you can see how prevalent this is, 1/5 will literally state “this is just a joke” in it.
Never mind the 3/5 that put 0 effort into writing anything more than a social media handle, just so you can given them even more attention on another platform. Or those that jot down some completely mindless info that has no relevance to anything in life. You are a backup plan, free entertainment, she earns money but still expects you to pay for everything, and she wants you to read her mind because she is incapable or unwilling to speak it.
“The truth is most men are somehow negotiating, cajoling, convincing, or otherwise tooth-pulling a girl to like him. It is arduous, frustrating, vexing, and an all-around pain in the ass. And the reason why is that deep down inside, most girls aren't into most guys. This results in several common situations that nearly every man is familiar with. Examples are the disinterested girl who sits there on dates and expects you to do all the entertaining and talking. The girl you're texting who occasionally responds to texts, but lackadaisically so. The girl who agrees to go on a date with you, only to flake at the last minute… ”
All in all the average girl (on social media) doesn’t value you or your time.
“So limit the time, money, and energy you invest in a girl until she proves she's actually into you and not just using you.”
Why Did I Even Read This Book?
I was perusing through the reviews on Goodreads and I was surprised by just how many utterly childish and useless reviews there were on this book. And sadly the one thing they all had in common was that they were all written by women.
Considering how much books have helped me grow and develop as an individual I guess I naively assumed there would be a bit more maturity in those parts (Goodreads).
97% of the written reviews had absolutely 0 substance to them and where littered with elementary school insults or name calling.
All emotion and no logic.
No ability to articulate what was “bad” about the book simply “Oh My God Women Deserve Less?? I hate this book!”
It was like seeing a bunch of children whining because someone made fun of their favorite toy doll.
Just take a look at a few of the petty & 3rd grade level reviews they posted:
Childish Unproductive Examples:
“Do us all a favor and get a life, you incel.“
“This book was only published to be used as toilet paper or kitty litter…”
“Not only is this man a real-life loser, misogynist, and all-around goofy…”
“Fuck this honestly”
“Garbage trash”
“We should gather up all the men that enjoyed this book, put them in a shipping container, ship them out to a very very very far away island, and let them all live there together, since they hate women so much!”
A select few even acknowledged some of the great points in the book. But like most sheep they are too brainwashed to really go against the grain so they clench their fists, firmly hanging onto the "Anti Men" narrative every other women was parading along to and they give it one star.
As for the star ratings (with no reviews) I could see that at least 92% of the 1 star ratings were ALL from women. Now what does that tell you?…someones feelings were hurt.
I would never recommend taking advice from people who are incapable of explaining their own thoughts and opinions. Especially not from people who still engage in a 6 year olds favorite pastime of name calling.
Another point to note is that for a Woman to accurately rate this book she would not only have to be able to view it objectively, but she would also need to have a solid understanding of present day social media (Tinder, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, OF, Twitter, Twitch etc.)
Sadly, most people can’t look at things objectively. On top of that women tend to be more emotionally driven than men. This makes someone much more inclined to view things subjectively. Lastly, who do you think tends to understand and be on social media more? What gender do you primarily see absolutely flooding the comment sections of countless posts endlessly praising women on the sites I mentioned in overwhelming majority?
It's men, by a landslide
All that should tell you that very, very few Women are going to be able to give you a useful review of this book with any actual substance.
Few are objective, and even fewer are objective AND understand the landscape.
It was in part because of these useless reviews that I decided to pick up this book for myself to see what it had to offer so that I could then distill some of that information to you. The people actually looking to better themselves rather than whine and spread hate because they feel butt hurt.
Now let’s get into it!!
Review:
Chapter 1:
Briefly outlines the perspective many women in large cities who go out weekly and are active on social media have towards Men and dating. In short she has countless options, more than you can ever relate to or fathom as a men. And because of that her personality, attention span, view + treatment of you, ability to connect meaningfully all suffer. While her expectations and ego rise tremendously.
Chapter 2:
Details 3 generic experiences Men at different stages of there life might face when it comes to women coldly rejecting, ignoring and leaving them. None of the examples are out of the norm, but do note they are on the extreme side of things.
And right off the bat you can tell this book is written in a way that is heavily leaning towards the two extremes on the pole. In that he is very much “Pro Men” so keep that in mind when reading.
As with anything of importance, you would be a fool to treat this kind of advice as your Bible (because it is on the extreme end of the pole) but his statements on modern dating are entirely true and it’s not remotely hard to see that.
Chapter 3:
Talks about the changing landscape of dating.
In the past “Men provided resources and protection.
While Women provided sex and (if wanted) children.
Now it's:
“I don't need a man! Men are trash! Down with the patriarchy! Believe all women!"
He says that this change leads to confusion among the roles both men and women play in modern society.
Chapter 4:
The example here is hilarious but I’ll let you discover it. I had no clue about it because I don't care about celebs.
If you ever paid attention to how girls talk amongst themselves you can definitely see how his tone in this book would upset them (as it’s not what they are used to).
It’s far more common for a group of girls to pander to one another, avoid confrontation/disagreements and in general to beat around the bush rather than speaking directly and to the point.
In this book, he speaks very candidly as if he's conversing amongst men. He’s direct and too the point. No sugar coating to protect anyone's feelings.
This is surely a chapter that will angry many women. But if understood from a less extreme and not as simplistic point of view than the one he presents, his overall message bares weight.
There is truth to it.
Overall he has a very simplistic and heavily leaning “Pro Men” point of view. Not wrong per se, but it’s very clear that if you solely look towards Men like him for such information, you are not seeing the whole picture. You would be narrowing your perspective when you should be widening it and taking in various different sources. And to be fair he does state that this book is merely an introduction and not a deep dive into this topic.
Once again guys please have some sense and don’t treat this as your Bible. Delve into various other sources that aren’t as skewed one way or another and develop your own perspective based on objective facts not how you feel things should or shouldn’t be but how they ARE.
Chapter 5:
“And that ugly truth is that most women simply don't like most men that much and never really did.”
The younger you are and the more active the girls you are interested in are on social media, the more this chapter applies to you.
In short, the number of choices the average woman has is incredibly large and without a doubt increasing. All of these options have gone straight to their head and as a result they have developed completely delusional and unrealistic expectations of men in dating.
Tangent: Funny thing is not long ago I was having a conversation with a girl who was trying to find the right guy and before she could finish her sentence about her struggles I was able to do it for her. “It’s just that…” then I said “it’s hard to know if it’s the right guy because there are so many options” and she paused and sighed “yeah”.
Back to the book.
While there is a whole lot of truths to extract from these pages I would be worried for the man who finds himself wholeheartedly agreeing with all of the statements in the book in their simplistic form.
Here I was oscillating between 3 or 4 stars quite a bit during the book, but content wise + the importance of the topic, coupled with that fact that this kind of information is not being dispersed in books much, I could sense it was likely getting a 4.
Chapter 6:
This chapter covers the lies society tells women and it was the first bit of information I hadn't already contemplated before so that was interesting.
I found “big is beautiful” to be the most humorous lie society tells women in order to profit off them. But think about what kind of backlash you would get from women for saying that. If you look at it objectively, which is how you should, it’s incredibly straightforward.
Ask yourself, biologically do women prefer a man with money or without? With. Biologically do men (and women) prefer a healthy attractive women or a an unhealthy one? A healthy one.
If you put your feelings aside its remotely hard to see. But if you do anything other than agree with the statement that “big is beautiful” then you can be sure countless people will come after you.
Imagine if guys started a “Broke is Badass” movement. You can hear the chorus of laughter from all the women now. Biologically speaking, we are talking about the exact same thing here. A woman's most sought after trait in a man and a man's most sought after trait in a women.
Just notice how it's considered completely fine for women to downright disregard this essential trait men look for in a mate but for men having money has actually been held to even greater importance over the past 2 decades.
That's the narrative society is spreading.
Everybody, accept women as they are, vs. men, what you're doing is never enough.
Yes, hateful body-shaming has no place, but Women think telling girls that being unhealthy is to be admired does? That’s EXACTLY what pandering gets you. A misrepresentation of reality. A lie to make you feel good in the moment while long term the only thing you truly do is suffer. It’s just like how irresponsible people treat credit cards, “Don’t pay now, just pay later!” Get the validation you seek now and sweep the rest under the rug so you can suffer down the road.
Anyone who knows anything about Capitalism and the US Healthcare system can tell you that all they see are dollar signs by telling women messages like that. Just keep on consuming.
Also notice how you have never in your life seen “Big is beautiful” or any statement like that directed towards men....what does that tell you?
One gender is told to be as they are, despite the enormous negative impact on their health and the health of any potential children. While the other is heavily encouraged to go to the gym and actually improve themselves. I mean to say "heavily encouraged" would be an understatement. It's more of a directive if you really want success with women. If you try to avoid it you'll get absolutely no sympathy from men nor women.
Just think about how backwards and detrimental that is to humans as a whole.
Society (i.e. woman) wants you to coddle the same reproducers whom you are co-creating a child with into thinking that being overweight is normal and completely healthy.
I mean after all when it comes to women the motto is always "just be yourself" .
As if a child does not pick up on a mother’s genes, eating habits, destructive behaviors and tendencies all throughout life.
Things like “Big is beautiful” are concepts started by women solely for women. You can clearly see that this is an area where a man is held accountable for his actions while women are encouraged to simply exist as they are.
Aka women telling women what they want to hear.
Again please tell me where you have seen the message of “Big is beautiful” being directed towards men on in the news, magazines, on social media, in advertisements etc.
Tell me of ALL the instances.
That message is, at the very least, 99% targeted towards women. Is it about body-shaming or is it more about women not wanting to be held accountable? Because if it’s truly about body-shaming and acceptance than men must not experience the slightest bit of it (body-shaming) because they are NEVER told it’s “beautiful, strong, masculine or handsome”. And they never have been.
The narrative is “Only Women get bodied shamed”. That’s like saying only women get bullied in school. And only women should receive support for it.
It’s not a matter of “Bo hoo” cry men a river. Just see things for how they really are.
Chapter 7:
Is what most men on social media really need to hear. That is by far the most fact based and clear cut portion of the book. There are no “if, ands or buts” about it. This chapter is about managing your resources more wisely. That is your precious time, money, and energy.
Chapter 8:
This chapter touches on bettering yourself.
And the irony in all the negative reviews women have given this book is that the main point he is driving home in it, is for men to invest in themselves more in order to become a better person (which in-turn will make you more attractive to women).
But with an inability to set emotions aside, and not feel offended, that point is completely lost on them.
In Closing:
While I did NOT see a single hate filled or childish review from men bashing Women, I will still say keep on loving Women (as I know you do) and understand that none of these kind of discussions (in the book, my review or elsewhere) should leave you harboring any kind of resentment towards men or women.
Strictly use it as a source of information to shine light on things you may not have noticed otherwise.
Understand that this book is leaned towards being generalized and oversimplified to a degree.
And please don’t take the childish emotional route the majority of people do.
Actually understand things as they are and discuss that. Offering information of no substance because your feelings are hurt is a waste of your time and everyone else's.
