Chapter 400 (Hedging your Bets & The Penis vs Vagina)
In third world countries, women are forced to Hedge their Bets.
What does "Hedging your Bets" mean exactly?
Basically, it means having lots of other potential boyfriends on the line. It means not putting all of your eggs in one basket. It means not placing all your hopes and dreams on one man. More on this later.
In places like Scandinavia, women do not need to Hedge their Bets. If a relationships turns sour, women have both the financial means as well as the financial independence to survive on their own—both for them and their children. In Scandinavia, there is a system of support for women and their children. There is free daycare so that the woman can work. There is also free education for their children. No woman needs to stay in a dysfunctional relationship, or with a dysfunctional man, for financial reasons. This gives women the financial freedom and security to either study, work…or both.
Contrast this with the DR. In the DR (True for all third world countries) when a relationship sours, women are forced to stay in a dysfunctional relationship for financial reasons. They are forced to stay in a dysfunctional relationship for their children. There is no “System” of support. There is no free daycare, no free education, no financial help from the state or government.
In third world countries, women have no choice but to remain in a dysfunctional relationship because they have no way of surviving on their own. Hence, they Hedge their Bets.
In poor countries, women have only their family as a means of outside support. However, often, their families are worse off than they are. This forces women in third world countries into a “Survival Mode” that few people from Industrial Western countries can relate to. As a result of being forced to survive on their own—with no means of support from the government, family, or a man—women sometimes seek out other boyfriends to help them survive. In other words, they “Hedge their Bets” as a means of survival. This survival instinct kicks-in especially when they have children to support and feed. Their survival instinct teaches them not to invest too much hope on one man. They look for other potential suitors just in case the relationship doesn’t work out. They sometimes have several boyfriends on their fishing line. If one fishing line breaks, they still have another fishing line cast out (we’ll call that Plan B). If Plan B fails, they go to a third fishing line (We’ll call that Plan C). Some women have so many fishing lines cast out into the water that they sometimes lose track of all of their lines, and hence, you get a traffic jam. Whenever you get lines entangled with one another, some lines must be cut free, and perfectly good fish must be let go. As sometimes the case, the bigger fish is sometimes lost. More on big fish later.
Some women enjoy fishing so much that they have a Plan D, E, F, G, H, I…XYZ ready. They have so many fishing lines cast out that they can start a fish market…hence the phrase “Fish Monger.” Some women casts so many fishing lines out that they are prepared for an Apocalypse. They’re prepared for End Times. They prepared for Armageddon.
Basically, women in third world countries are forced to “Hedge their Bets” because the market is too vulnerable to change. The market is unstable. The market is up and down. The market is vulnerable to too many variables. Market forecasts are as unreliable as they are unpredictable. Markets are impossible to predict. And the “Sausage Market” is the most unreliable of all. What may appear as a good investment initially can turn out to be a terrible investment? That’s why few relationships make it in the real world. That’s why 50% of all marriages ends within the first 5 or 6 years. In third world countries, you never know if a couple is together out of financial necessity or love. Contrast and compare this with other societies…in Scandinavia, you know when a couple is together it’s not because of financial necessity.
How about men?
Men are no better. In fact, they're worse. The problem with men is that we like too much diversity. No man wants to eat the same food day after day, night after night. We can only eat “one” type of food so many times before we start craving something different. This is essentially true for everyone—man or woman, but with men its worse. You can only eat vanilla ice cream so many times before you start to crave a different flavor.
We can’t eat the same flavor of ice cream day after day, for the rest of our lives. That’s overkill. That’s boring. That’s monotonous. There are 31 flavors of ice cream out there, right? The most popular is chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. But there are many flavors that come from a combination of these three flavors…dark-chocolate, milk-chocolate, mocca-chocolate, caramel, Bubble-gum…and my personal favorite: Strawberry-Vanilla. Its texture is smooth and creamy, and you need polarized sunglasses if you stare directly into its bright orange aura. More on the burning Red Bush later.
Men get tired of the same flavor. So we sample.
That’s what Men do. We’re chronic samplers. We're also chronic foragers. You ever see a man walk past a sample plate inside a supermarket without stopping and tasting it? No. that’s because we want to taste everything on the plate. Only a stupid man would push aside something without sampling it first. Only a stupid man would eat the same **** day after day.
Which brings me to my next point…
Never trust someone who doesn’t sample things first--before deciding what best suits their taste. You cannot trust someone who hasn’t tried a variety of snacks and flavors. How else can someone know what they like and don’t like? Anyone who turns their noses up at something without tasting it first cannot be trusted. You see how animals in the wild operate? they smell and taste everything before moving down the line. There needs to be some kind of quality control. More on that later.
Back to Hedging Bets.
In Scandinavia, the women don’t need to Hedge their Bets, and hence, the women here are more honest. People will say, “Scandinavians are the most honest people in the world because of their value system. That’s bull****. Scandinavians are more honest simply because there is nothing to lose by leaving a dysfunctional relationship. No one needs to stay in a relationship for financial reasons. No one needs to tolerate a dysfunctional person for financial or security reasons. And there in lies the secret. Independence is born from not having to rely on anyone for financial support and survival. This independence creates Freedom. And Freedom creates choices. What we know about freedom is that the more of it you possess, the more choices and options you have. The more choices and options you possess, the richer you are. Is there such a thing as having too much freedom? **** no.
Here in Scandinavia, no one needs to depend on another human being for financial support. No one needs to stay in a dysfunctional relationship for security. Everyone is taken care of, and therefore, no one needs to “Hedge their Bets.”
Back to the DR.
Women are forced to Hedge their Bets in the DR (any poor country) out of necessity. They’re forced to invest in different men because they need a means to survive. You cannot tell a woman, “Stay in your terrible relationship with your dysfunctional alcoholic man and continue to put up with his **** because…”that's what women do!” That’s bull****. You cannot expect anyone to not want a better life—both for them and their children. You cannot expect people to not want a better life for their children’s future. Therefore, in a “Dysfunctional society,” women are forced to sometimes sell their bodies and “Hedge their Bets.”
It’s a terrible, extremely unfair world we live in, where almost everything about your opportunities & choices in life…and hence Freedom…is decided on where you are born and geography.
Life in a third world country can be difficult. Very difficult. The DR can be a very dysfunctional place with little to no infrastructure—or very poor infrastructure at best! In this kind of society, you force people into a corner. You force people into a “Survival Mode” that borders on the Kafkaesque, Catch-22 situations, and pure unadulterated madness. Systems don’t work…or work poorly. Lying is tolerated because people understand its part of surviving. People are forced into a Survival Mode and can’t depend on either the government or society to financially help them.
Who would want such a government that forces women into financial servitude? American Libertarians and Conservative Republicans for one. They want as little government as possible. For them, the less government, the better. They must love third world countries where government plays almost no role in people’s lives.
That’s one of the reasons why so many conservatives, Libertarians, and religious freaks flock here…the government here is almost non-existent, and what rules exist, are poorly enforced at best. These conservatives and Libertarians want to live in a place with little to no taxes…which means…little to no infrastructure.
