Outline

• "Macro dating theory": an evolutionary-psychology-style framework covering subconscious theory, parental investment theory, survival value, and reproductive value
• The author's personal observations on the mindset of Chinese women and the state of the domestic dating market
• Building a man's mindset: "being high-status is a mindset," building confidence, and common mistakes made by low-status men
• "Micro dating theory": a classification system for women and a breakdown of different relationship types (romance, casual affairs, etc.)

Core idea

Aimed at college students, this book teaches that romantic outcomes are determined by value and mindset, and that men should abolish "goddess worship" and anxious overinvestment, understanding relationships between the sexes through the lens of evolutionary psychology.

Review

The language is down-to-earth and some of the mindset analysis has real-world relevance, but the book's classification and scoring of women, along with its discussion of virginity rates, clearly objectifies women and is in poor taste — it should be read critically.
