Women as buyers, Men as sellers.

I am 42 minutes into this:

It is a little painful. But as I am listening to it I can't contain my enthusiasm at the concept that is being discussed. Much of the discussion and panelists are not going into the discussion as one of abstract thinking, but are plodding through red pill talking points to get to the abstract possibly later on.

But I wanted to jump straight to the concept itself. 

I had always assumed men are the buyers and women are the sellers. After all, women are quite clearly, a kind of 'product' with everything on display. Their fertility is very on display. They are the approached. So when you think of someone buying something that thing would be approached usually. Like a shop brought item. 

But Pearl put forward a different idea and it feels like it has lit up my brain!

She said it is perhaps the women that are the buyers and the men that are the sellers. 

This makes sense for so many reasons. The seller has to qualify themselves and sell their product but they start off at a place of low status. This is mens position. The buyer has inherent status. There are broke buyers and other situations we will come to, but as a basic, the buyer has inherent status. Like women. 

Men, in relationships, very much offer a service of "protection and provision" in exchange for something. Babies and sex mostly. This is very much selling a service. It is not the position of buyer. 

Some of the pushbacks on my position are that there are a lot of thirty year old women around that are desperate to get married. Well... Like I was saying, not every buyer has a lot of money. She could simply not be able to afford the service she desires. 

The status between buyer and seller is not always set. We assume, it is assumed a little in this discussion. That the seller is permanently low status and the buyer permanently high. But in real life this is not so.

If you were to purchase an education from Harvard. You might be the buyer. But the alpha is Harvard. And you have to qualify yourself to them. You have to prove you have the grades.

Rather like how men start off low status, and then become high status, if they are successful in some cases. A seller of a small business might start off low status and really working for clients. But when they get up to the level of the Teslas and Microsofts of the world. The dynamic isn't the same. The seller has the higher status. 

This also perfectly matches up to the analogy of a woman in her twenties having a million dollars because her fertility gives her power over men. But then by thirty that figure has run down significantly. It perfectly marries with this buyer/ seller analogy. 

Not that I think it can help my life massively. But I still think it is interesting.
