As in any form of competition, strategies in the sexual and relationship arena involve tactics that aid in, and lead to, victory.
Women have needs: sexual needs, needs for protection in a violent society, and economic needs in a civilized society.
Merely wanting needs fulfilled and having vague ideas on how to proceed has a low success rate. Countless women around the world have been profoundly disappointed, and even many of those who have fared better eventually become aware of emotional deficits in their lives.
Optimizing the fulfillment of these needs requires planning, for women just as it does for men. However, women are often trapped in a double bind, as sexual excitement and economic stability, or sexual excitement and respectability, can appear to be contradictory goals.
Yet the one factor that certainly helps resolve almost any difficult situation or double bind is independent wealth.
Being independently wealthy even allows a woman to leave a repressive society and obtain citizenship in a liberal country through investment.
For smart young women, leveraging their social and romantic networks can sometimes provide a faster path to wealth accumulation than the traditional avenues available to their brothers. This is because young women possess a significant amount of intrinsic capital known as sexual market value.
It can be leveraged to facilitate relocation to a country that represses women less, and it can be converted into financial capital.
However, this window of opportunity is widest only for women between the ages of 18 and 25, and often assumes they have not yet had children.
The window remains open later in life, but it narrows.
Follow one piece of advice: do not waste your capital on young men who lack an economic foundation, even if they are good-looking. Do not waste your capital listening to promises of eternal love.
Admittedly, young men can be sexually exciting. However, if your economic foundation is solid, there will be attractive young men available not only while you are a beautiful young woman but throughout your life. If your economic base is not strong to begin with, you can leave the man who built an economic base for you after a short while, or simply ignore him and have affairs. You can end up divorced and wealthy at a comparatively young age, thereby avoiding the loss of self-esteem that afflicts many women when their sexual market value steeply declines as they age.
It is one of the best strategies available.
