OP the biggest motivation, almost ideological aspiration of women lit is to find the perfect guy that takes her from her mundane life into the castle where she can live a perfect life.

Male motivation is about finding ways to surpass the other guys, kill them, conquer them, just so you can rise above the other guys is fuck their women, basically the literal purpose of politics, art, science, war.

Why do u read female lit and complain they write only about their biggest existential concern?

Should I dissmiss male lit simply on terms is always about in the end about rising to the top male hierarchy and steal other guys women?

peterson talks about it.

humans are basically an hypergamous specie, just like species where sexual diphormis is observated.

males compete to establish a social order based on things like agression, inteligence, force, which allows them to get the best females.

many species follow this logic, like deers.
females in such species use the male social hierarchy as a heuristic that allows them to pick alfa males from the beta losers.

why do u think redpill PUA BS teaches shit like shit test?

why do u think women do shit tests?
Also, is been proven resources can make the same male more sexually appealing, there's even a mathematical formula that predicts your sexual market based simply on your income.
