August 2009 Comment of the Month

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.31.2009

In the past month, my readership has expanded to over ten times the amount that it was in July. In that time, the comment sections of my posts have also exploded. I’ve got a great group of commenters who’ve always got something interesting to say, so I’ve decided to honor the best of them with [...]

Lord Byron on LJBFing, MLTRs, and kicking women off of the pedestal

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.29.2009

This is the sequel to this Byron poem. To the Sighing Strephon 1. YOUR pardon, my friend, If my rhymes did offend, Your pardon, a thousand times o’er, From friendship I strove, Your pangs to remove, But I swear I will do so no more. 2. Since your beautiful maid Your flame has repaid, No [...]

The spirit of the art, not the letter

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.28.2009

Most people are aware of the letter of the law/spirit of the law conflict, but a similar struggle exists in art. When creating a work of literature, music, or art, the creator must decide which is more important; the technical details of the art or the meaning of the art. Very few artists in history [...]

A note on future Friday posts

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.28.2009

Since all of the doom and gloom is starting to wear on me, future posts on Fridays will be on subjects unrelated to the main themes I discuss. Think of it like Agnostic’s “video game weekend,” except not about video games.

The dual hierarchies of men

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.27.2009

Yesterday, MarkyMark posted an essay by FSchmidt criticizing the use of the terms “alpha,” “beta,” and “omega”: All of you here and in the PUA community have been grossly misusing the terms “alpha”, “beta”, and “omega”. These terms have real scientific meaning that refers to the status of males in relation to other males. It [...]

College chick foolishness

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.27.2009

It’s Friday night and the streets are filled With rich little fucking college pussy faggots I’m gonna get a fucking gun And shoot them all right in the balls … So like when I’m on Lansdowne and I’m looking to score I say, “Hey baby, you wanna boogie?” And they say, “Why don’t you buy [...]

Swan song of the West: an analysis of "Walk, Don't Run"

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.26.2009

I’m an avid fan of Turner Classic Movies, and in the age of TiVo, I can tape as many movies as I like and watch them at my leisure. As a result, I always have a pile of films to go through on my DVR. One movie I finally got to recently was the 1966 [...]

Todd White throws down the gauntlet

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.25.2009

Mr. White e-mailed me saying he wants to take on the master himself: Roissy: I challenge you to a public debate. The topic? “Sex and Love in Modern Society. What Should Men Do?” Will Roissy accept? I doubt it. But it would be fun to watch.

Jasmine Fiore and the feminist blood tithe

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.25.2009

I was going to post on this yesterday (hat tip: Lawrence Auster), but I got sidetracked with outside concerns. We have another Scott Peterson on our hands: Authorities were able to identify a slain swimsuit model’s body through her breast implants, after her former reality-star ex-hubby allegedly chopped off her fingers and knocked out her [...]

Game debate roundup

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.25.2009

Chuck weighs in on social conservatives, game, and discourse: SoCons seem to be fixed on the idea that men who are trying to overcome are somehow dishonest in their behavior towards women. But I ask, is anything more dishonest than the subjugated white knights and doting fem-boys when it comes to the objects of their desire? [...]

Dialog with a skeptic

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.24.2009

I’ve spent the past few days corresponding with Todd White, a conservative blogger and author who takes issue with my advocacy of game. My recent replies to him are long enough to make a blog post out of – which is precisely what I’m doing. Regular programming resumes tomorrow. These are my comments on his [...]

Why traditionalist conservatives should advocate game

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.23.2009

Josh Xiong spells it out: There is no vast right wing conspiracy to keep men happy and sexually satiated. Maybe there should be, or we’ll start to see men not only losing motivation to produce for society but perhaps participate in the kind of destructive activities that Fight Club portended. It’s already happening elsewhere. Traditionalists and [...]

Yes, another Auster post

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.22.2009

Jacob M. aka Hermes offers his take on game. An excerpt: That’s why I think the most mistaken statement Kathlene makes is, “The Roissyist men resent having to be the “beta providers” because they resent their jobs.” She seems to think any of us can become a “beta provider” if we want to, but we [...]

A note on threaded commenting

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.21.2009

I enabled threaded commenting on this blog because it makes replying to other commenters easier – you don’t have to scroll all over the place to see if someone’s said something to you. This would be a godsend on heavily commented blogs such as Roissy’s. Unfortunately, past a certain number of replies, as Novaseeker pointed out, [...]

More on Auster getting it

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.21.2009

Todd White e-mailed me a link to this comment he sent to Lawrence Auster. It’s worth a read. There are also two more VFR entries that you should check out. See my previous post for the other entries.

How mainstream dating advice harms women

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.21.2009

S. recently posted on “girl game,” which, some of you may be surprised to find out, is NOT an oxymoron. Both normal game and girl game are designed to improve the user’s position in the sexual marketplace, but due to the different natures of man and woman, each has different objectives. While guy game is [...]

Is Lawrence Auster starting to get it?

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.21.2009

Coldequation alerted me to this discussion going on at View from the Right. Yours truly was quoted by one commenter: Ian B. is really getting to the core of the value of game to the traditionalist movement. As Ferdinand Bandamu [sic] puts it: “The goal of game is to make it possible for a man [...]

The signs of civilizational decline: tween whores in upstate New York

by Ferdinand Bardamu 08.21.2009

Syracuse coppers bust a twelve-year old girl for hooking: A 12-year-old Syracuse girl was charged with prostitution Wednesday night after she offered to let an undercover Syracuse vice squad officer perform a sex act on her for $20, Chief Gary Miguel said today. “This is the youngest I’ve ever seen,” Miguel said of the prostitution arrest.
