I went to a middlebrow Catholic school for my undergraduate degrees. Part of earning a degree in mathematics was taking math-like disciplines. You had to take a computer science course. I got a B in that. You had to do the 100-level calculus-based physics series. I got A grades in that, but only because I kissed the professors asses. I put off the statistics classes until I was just about ready to graduate. Those are the only C grades on my transcripts. I earned C grades, partly because I hated statistics, and partly because I was already accepted to graduate programs, and just didn’t give a shit in my last semester of the bachelor’s program.
Around this same time, I read Herrnstein and Murray’s book, The Bell Curve. The book, as I remember it, is huge, containing at least a dozen chapters. The section on racial difference is only a part of a single chapter of the book. I know almost nothing about statistics; but my dismal grasp of that topic, along with the authors’ explanation, suggests something quite different from the reviews of the book by all the hateful SJW faggots who are still jerking themselves off in outrage over the content.
If you take huge populations of people, there are bound to be differences. Those differences in character and attitude are notable only in aggregate.
If I take the whole group of African bushmen, and the whole group of European-descended anglophone Americans, I’ll note a difference in the average intelligence between these two groups. Suppose I, as an anglophone Mormon, descended entirely from New England WASP types, meets one African bushman in the wild. What do the statistics tell me? The answer is, not a god damned thing. The best I can surmise is that I have a slight probability of being a little smarter than that fucker, but that is in no wise guaranteed. If I happen to meet him in Africa, then it’s in my interest to kiss his black behind in the hopes that he can teach me how to keep from becoming a lion’s dinner.
I’m the whitest motherfucker you have ever seen. As a group, White people are supposed to be near the top of the cognitive ability distribution. The minute I set foot into the aforementioned graduate program, I met a whole bunch of people who were far smarter than I was, and none of them were as White as I am. Included in the group of people who are at least one standard-deviation more intelligent than I am are…
- One blue-black African-American woman,
- One male halfbreed, with a Mestizo mother and Iranian father,
- One light-skinned Mestizo woman,
- One Jewish man, with the stereotypical big nose and kinky hair.
It is interesting to note that I am still friends with all of these people, except for the light-skinned Mestizo woman, who turned out to be one of the most treacherous bitches I have ever encountered. She ended up divorcing a good Mestizo man, who had bussed tables to pay rent so that her dumb ass could get her Ph.D.. Almost immediately after she graduated, she dumped him to marry an East Indian dothead, and has subsequently divorced his chump ass too. Between the two of these simps, I imagine she got most of her school loans paid off.
The blue-black African-American woman is the most brilliant statistician I know, and whenever I have a tough linear algebra problem, she is my go-to for a quick answer. She was married to a White guy when we were in our program, and has since divorced him too. I’m sure she got a nice payout for breaking all her most important promises.
Part of what I want to illustrate, with all this, is the absolute non-correlation between cognitive ability and wimminz’ well-established proclivity for whimsical self-destruction. One should appreciate that having an advanced degree is usually not a ticket to a trouble-free life. The Mestizo waiter and the White bank manager, who were married to the two wimminz noted above, have the capacity to make much more money than any of us. The Bindi who was Mestizo-wimminz’ second husband was a stockbroker, and his father was a millionaire. He made more in the year I knew him than all four of us make today. He got tossed into the gutter like so much garbage, by a wife who never appreciated him.
The rest of the illustration has to do with the general non-correlation between aggregated data and individual cases. This is the source of a lot of confusion in the manosphere, where I read claptrap like…
This has clearly be discussed beforehand. A NAWALT is the perfect women who isn’t affected by modern feminism, remains loyal through the good and bad times, never nags, never throws tantrums, remained a full virgin before marriage…
Full stop, nigga. Hold it right there.
I understand the source of this misconception. It originates in the Teachman study, which, not unlike Herrnstein and Murray’s brief digression into race, examines statistical differences based upon the sexual history of various populations of wimminz. My man Marcus D. has pointed to this study and popularized it as some sort of guidepost for young brothers.
So, to all my readers, let’s review. Suppose that you have two populations. One is wimminz who are strippers, escorts, and professional prostitutes. The other is made up exclusively of virginal wimminz. What do we know? We know that marrying a random individual from one population carries a slightly higher risk of eventual divorce, compared to marrying a random individual from the other.
Suppose you have two wimminz, one who is a virgin, and the other who is a reformed skank-ho single mom.
Question: What do you know about these two, just taking this background into account?
Answer: Not a damned thing.
Meet Jenny Erickson, at top left. Mizz Erickson is a public figure, CONservative republican, and “mommy blogger,” who uses her own personal biography to make a living (when she’s not sponging off her ex-husband).
The un-named children in this photo are sired by at least two different men. The eldest girls are the legal (if not biological) offspring of a man who had the misfortune of being married to Jenny. The youngest girl is a bastard, father unknown.
In 2013, Jenny took to whining on the internet, about being excommunicated from her Christian church, which is how I became acquainted with her. Her crime was filing for divorce from her husband, something which Christianity explicitly forbids, except under the most serious of circumstances.
I have no source (and I did look for one) that illustrates Jenny’s virginity at the time of her first marriage. Even so, I remember seeing her boast about “giving” her husband “the gift” of her virginal holes on the honeymoon.
I’m always skeptical, but let’s suppose she actually was a virgin. Does it matter now? I would argue that it doesn’t, since she has treacherously run her husband through the divorce courts, made his kids bastards, and subsequently given them an additional sibling through her own immorality.
Let’s meet Naghmeh Abedini. Naghmeh is the skank-ho ex-wife of our brother Saeed Abedini, who we met yesterday. Naghmeh married Saeed in Tehran, Iran, in 2004. Was Naghmeh a virgin? I’d say she might have been. She certainly claimed to be, as in that society, you get your ass kicked if you are known to skank around.
Naghmeh spent years holding herself out as a dutiful wife and mother, and this schtick was very profitable, while her husband was incarcerated in an Iranian prison. Due to her pressure, Barack Obama moved heaven and earth to get her husband released. Before he even hit American soil, Naghmeh pulled a 180, and was down at the divorce courts, accusing her husband of abuse. Amazingly (or perhaps not), her accusations were taken seriously, despite the fact that her husband was in an Iranian prison during the time he was supposedly abusing her.
Here are two innocent, virginal wives who turned on their men, the second it was advantageous to do so. With this in mind, can we honestly say that marrying a so-called virgin is a better idea than marrying a skank-ho prostitute?
Fetishizing virginity is merely a holdover from an earlier age. Five hundred years ago, it actually was advantageous to marry a virgin. The husband would have his friend (the “best man”) carry out evidence of his wife’s virginity from the wedding chamber. The doors would then be locked up, and the couple would fuck with abandon for a few weeks. The expected pregnancy would result in at least one potential heir, that could inherit the husband’s wealth. The second and third children, well, it’s anyone’s guess who their fathers were, but the first one was statistically (there’s that concept, again) more likely to be a blood relative of the putative father.
Suppose a young brother marries a virgin today. What would I advise him to do?
Get a DNA test for any child that is born in your house.
Suppose another young brother marries a prostitute. I’d advise him the exact same thing.
Suppose a virginal bride begins causing trouble at home. What should the authorities tell her?
Get your ass back home and obey your husband.
Now, this isn’t what the authorities tell wimminz in our society. In our feminist state, they are coddled, and encouraged to slut it up. Even so, in a normal society, troublemaking wouldn’t be tolerated.
Suppose a former prostitute marries, and does the same thing? The proper response, in any normal society, would be precisely similar.
If two wimminz, one a virgin, and the other a prostitute, make a promise, is one expected to keep it, and the other given a pass for breaking it?
In conclusion, I’ll anticipate the usual scoffing by my critics, who will talk about me being a male skank-ho slut, and having written this after spending too many weekends down at the STD clinic with various Tinder skanks. They’ll dismiss my article as the result of a slanted worldview after a life of immorality.
The reality is that 100% of the wimminz I know, including my mother, grandmother, sister, and female cousins, have all proven to be exactly the same in kind and character, as the most hardened prostitutes. All are wimminz. The fact that a few of my relatives (and by no means all) have been effectively controlled by Mormon mores and the fear of shaming, does not change this in any way. If my sister finds it advantageous, she’ll divorce her husband tomorrow, and make her kids bastards. I know this as surely as I know the sun will come up tomorrow.
Yes, there are variations in populations. No, it doesn’t mean you should marry a wimminz, even if that wimminz is a virginal young cupcake of 18, who has never laid eyes on a cad. You do this at your peril.
An interesting anomaly that I’ve discovered in studying this topic, is that (1) intelligent, educated, wealthy people are more likely to be sexually promiscuous (and keep it under wraps), but (2) this group also has lower divorce rates. It doesnt seem to jive with all the other studies. I suspect some of these studies may have been ‘converged’. (Sorry I don’t have sources on hand.)
I suppose the character and heart of the woman is always the most important thing.
Virginity is at least a sign she has some character (which will still need more investigative work to verify)…the ones that have many ‘it just happened’ have already proven what they are.
Although I will admit no-fault makes me skeptical about marrying any of them if they can always pull that card.
I’m going to critique your comments on their statistical merit. You should thank me for adding spice to your life by dismissing your article these grounds. Earl can give you a moral lecture. He’s better at it anyway.
Perhaps your statistician friend would disagree, but your assumption is contested by A.W.F. Edwards. He suggested that correlative statistical analysis of genetics (in Human Genetic Diversity: Lewontin’s Fallacy) makes it possible to find differences and make accurate predictions in various genetic populations, especially at the geographic level. It’s an interesting read and the criticisms, as I understand them, don’t seem to impact that theoretical conclusion.
Statistical evidence strongly contests this claim. As you illustrated, virginity is no guarantee of marital success, but it is a very strong predictor of divorce risk. There have been multiple studies that have confirmed this. The statistics get a little wacky once you get past a zero or one prior sexual partners, but the basic value of (female) virginity is clear.
I can’t debate one thing though: virginity alone is an insufficient predictor. There are many risk factors for divorce, and they are not statistically independent. Thus, to avoid divorce one has to have as many favorable variables as possible. Virginity is most valuable when paired with other factors that correlate with low divorce rates.
So my conclusion is a bit different than yours. Virginity is highly valuable, but only if it is paired with other attributes that indicate a quality woman. A man who only looks at virginity is making a mistake.
This is the statistical error of selection bias. I suffer from the same selection bias in reverse, that is, my home population has hardly any divorce at all (< 5%). I had to physically move to another location to experience common divorce and even then it is relatively rare (< 25%) compared to the national average.
There are two problems with this that can help explain it.
First, consider the reasons why people get a divorce. How often is it for unfaithfulness? A high percentage of marriages actually stay together even after infidelity is discovered. Men cheat more than women, but women initiate most divorces, so a man will rarely run off with another woman if he cheats, especially if undiscovered. It is not a strong a predictor of divorce.
Second, the effect that premarital sex has on divorce risk increases rapidly from 0, 1, and 2 sexual partners and then flattens out thereafter. Losing ones virginity is much more statistically significant than whether or not your woman had just two partners or was the high school slut. If you look at statistics for how many people lose their virginity before marriage, it is over 80% by the low twenties. Once the damage is done (loss of virginity), you can’t go back and claim those lower divorce odds. Promiscuity is not as good a predictor of divorce as virginity is.
Third, and most importantly, these variables lack statistical independence. There are likely a number of factors in that population that lead to low divorce rates: wealth, education, age of marriage, race, geographic location, etc. It takes a controlled study to isolate the independent effect of each variable. If the other factors are held constant, promiscuity definitely increases divorce risk.
“Suppose I, as an anglophone Mormon, descended entirely from New England WASP types, meets one African bushman in the wild. What do the statistics tell me? The answer is, not a god damned thing. The best I can surmise is that I have a slight probability of being a little smarter than that fucker”
Statistically, you would almost certainly be smarter than the bushman because the average & standard deviation of bushman intelligence is way, way lower than your personal intelligence. Exceptions exist but are by definition, exceptional.
But your point is valid that higher general IQ and the ability to find food in the Australian outback are two different things. A moron who fully realizes his potential is doing much better practically & morally than the typical trust fund baby who couldn’t hunt meat in a grocery.
Check out Dalrock’s latest article and the commenters apparently someone found a post from Jenny’s instagram of the father of the illegitimate kid.
Also saw on the insta….pregnant with illegitimate kid #2.
Dear Earl:
I actually saw that yesterday, as I was writing this post up. I didn’t want to embarrass the poor simp (my goal with this blog is only to make fun of public figures — and he is not one.) That aside, are you certain that he is the father of Jenny’s latest bastard?
I have some scuttlebutt that suggests Jenny got knocked up by a playa — and a few of her instagram posts suggested, at the time she was expecting the youngest girl, that she didn’t know who the father was.
The present guy is reputed to be the reason for her latest pregnancy, but I am skeptical he was around when she was getting plowed by the hockey team.
As an aside: All young brothers should research this train-wreck of a CONservative Christian whore, and ask yourself if you would like to be in that poor guy’s shoes. She brings absolutely nothing to the table, except her aging and well used cunt. She has three children by (at least) two different men, and has a history of betraying anyone who gets close to her. A great many people have done her favors throughout her life, and all those who did so, regretted it.
Her latest catch, much as we might snicker at him, probably has done nothing to deserve the chaos she will bring to his life, the minute the ink is dry on that marriage certificate.
Boxer
The third kid…from what I can tell he probably isn’t the father based on he wasn’t anywhere in the picture when she was pregnant.
She has kid #4 now and at least claims he is. So it could be 4 kids from 3 men. Either way she’s a mess and apparently good at finding thirsty men.
The worst part is her daughters are picking up on her behavior and are seeing a trend that men are only there for what you want out of them and then you can dispose of them when things don’t work well. They’ve already seen it with their dad.
You made some very good points in this article. another reason to not trust virgin is because he could be the type of a woman who is good at playing a game. I think it over on the Return of kings have an essay Which has the thesis up if a woman is a virgin and over the age of 21 she is a political animal using her sexual in attendance as a tool. Some girl just want to rebel against feminism. All women are born virgin in the fantasy is to be the hot desired virgin but Some pole 21-year-old virgins get off on paying them tell that better than not getting cold single moms around them. Some death believe that their virginity belong to their husband and they don.t like it when people take their their stuff so. income of us went through that virginity but we just waited too long and now we think that it to be taco special or leave with the guy that we.re going to talk to you again.
BTW my friend who I referred to at the director is talking marrying a 23-year-old virgin with a cherry on top. He never had a boyfriend until she met him 16 months ago. she was homeschooled and I think she may weigh 45 pounds soaking wet holding a 5 pound weight.
So I know unicorn. Note I said I did not say I am a unicorn. But I know one and I do not like her
Brother Boxer happy belated not a father day
