Attention or Sex!
Which one is more powerful?
In reality they're the same. Here's why:
Attention is the man's currency.
Sex is the woman's currency.
Or let's put it this way...
Attention is the masculine currency.
Sex is the feminine currency.
A male gives away his attention in hope of sex in return.
Similarly the female gives away her currency of sex with the hope of attention in return.
Now this "attention" is not something as simple and plain as spending time with or always being there.
It's about protection.
Yes. Protection.
There's an evolutionary psychology behind this thing.
A woman is extremely selective of who she wants to sleep with.
Extremely selective.
And that's because "Sex" is her currency.
She ain't giving that away just like that. The man has to earn his way to it.
And you must be thinking that, why she is so selective about that.
Well that's because the cost of sex is higher for women.
Yes. And that's because post coitus she becomes pregnant and gets to bear the child for 9 months.
In these 9 months, she's the most vulnerable.
If she gets attacked by the sabre-tooth tigers she won't be able to run for her life nor will she be able to climb a tree.
And that's where the man comes.
She's selective of her mate and this selection process is done through something called Status.
Now lemme pop the bubble.
In this scenario, Status is not "greed for resources". Instead it's a "sense of security".
Status for women = This is a man that can protect me & my baby.
And so every time you hear some guy saying, "Oh bro she is only attracted to money"
That's because she is.
And not because she's greedy.
But because she attaches a perception with that money. Which is, "If he's rich, then he's a hard worker. He's a warrior. He can protect me."
Now let's come to the man's currency.
Attention.
This is where it all gets messed up in the modern day.
Thanks to the fem-centric brainwashing, porn and Instagram.
Sex is the woman's currency that the man must earn.
Therefore in order to get laid, the man must go through hardship.
This is how it has always been.
But in the 21st century, any 18yr old boy can see more naked women than any of the richest kings in history.
And that becomes an easy way out for him.
Now he won't hustle.
He won't go to the gym.
He won't network with people.
He won't live a disciplined lifestyle.
He. Won't. Fight.
And because he won't fight, he won't have real life access to the woman's currency.
So he will start to think that,
"Maybe I should start giving away more of my currency in order to get hers."
Buddy...buddy... you're doomed.
Now what he starts doing is relentlessly DMing 1000s of women.
Just at random. Here & there.
Comments on their posts irrespective of content.
"Hey sexy", "Looking good baby girl", "Reply me. Reply me."
Depleted of his own currency and deprived of the woman's currency, being addicted to porn, this individual now finds a solution:
More Porn.
Yes. More porn.
Of course.
He is starved of the woman's currency at this point.
And has exhausted his own bucket of currency.
He needs that fake currency in the form of Porn.
Very soon he'll have 2 options after he finds himself in this hole:
• keep digging the hole.
• embrace the pain and climb up.
So coming to the question.
Which one is more powerful between attention and sex?
From an evolutionary standpoint, they're both the same.
Yin & Yang.
Sun & Moon.
Day & Night.
Masculine & Feminine.
But given the modern circumstances,
Sex has the upper-hand over Attention.
So that's a wrap for now.
See y'all next time again, till then stay happy stay focused and work hard.
