Women often conflate romance with increasing her status

Not a huge fan of writing about current events and popular stories on social media because of the nature of how the information is presented. The information is forced through a colander to edit out details and uncomfortable facts for the people it is supposed to appeal to, and uncomfortable facts are added for the people it is supposed to antagonize.

Because of this, I urge my fellow redpill and dating content creators not to focus too much on what people with cameras trained on them all day do, but it is their content, and I shouldn’t have a say anyway.

Despite my personal reservations, the Russian couple who dared to climb the Empire State Building, risking their lives so he could propose to her, has been shoved in my feed for nearly three days now, which is pretty long in internet time. They have been known to do this before and were even featured in a 2024 Netflix documentary called Skywalkers: A Love Story. Their names are Angelina Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Kuznetsov, 32. They appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on July 2 and were released. They are facing multiple felonies, including burglary, reckless endangerment, and criminal endangerment.

In addition to the proposal, a banner was flown with the following statement: “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world will know peace.” Naval Ravikant levels of quippy nonsense, which is ironic because this whole stunt has nothing to do with love.

To the bluepilled man, or the aging harpy terminally online and well-versed in internet culture e-woman, I may seem like a grumpy old aging redpill poster. But the truth is, this is a great lesson, or at least a big litmus test, for understanding female behavior, their relationship with love, and how they see relationships.

Bottom line:

Women conflate romance with increasing their status.

They would not consider this romantic if there were no video evidence or witnesses. This is the same reason couples pay thousands for a wedding photographer. “Did it really happen if strangers don’t validate me?”

Now think of the next time you do something nice for a girl, or someone else does. Did she film it? Did she post it? Did she soft launch you?

If she didn’t, congrats, she may actually like you. If she did, well, she may just like the status of being doted on. Give it more time to see what she wants and just have sex in the meantime.

All dating is brand management, as stated in The Player’s Handbook by Rollo Tomassi, and examples like these confirm it. When you deny women the ability to display your public displays of affection, you are denying her status. That is why, despite being with your girl for years without marrying her, she will poke and prod and bring up subtle “clues” about wanting to get married. She wants a princess party to brag to her friends and family, and you are taking that away from her. You are denying her status. This doesn’t have to involve social media either. Just using you to stick it to her mother, her former teammates from high school, or even her ex is enough to fall into the accessory boyfriend category.

The expensive super-drone wedding shots of you in the slightly worn-out rented tux while she is in the forefront, living some kind of dream state of being princess-celebrity-diva, are not about love. They are about sticking it to the world, her friends, half of whom have betrayed her and made passes at her now-husband, and her family. It is about status. And if you’ve ever observed bridezillas-to-be in their friend group, they become insufferable. Their friends turn into pawns and accessory pieces for endless wedding requirements and activities, like bachelorette parties, photoshoots, dress measuring, and “brunch” meetings, all as a subtle flex. The bridezilla-to-be might as well do the John Cena “You can’t see me” gesture to her friends at the altar. I don’t understand how women have the patience to subject themselves to a friend who is getting married. Just pretend you have cancer and disappear after the baby is born. It’s not worth it.
