[Cavet: Great video, useful dating advice, but it has a libertarian consent-based sexuality and a semi-negative view of masculinity.]
- How To Find a Wife In A Fallen World (Based Camp)
[Cavet: Directionally correct, but a little extreme.]
- Zones v3 - The most useful relationship map in history (Hoe Math)
[Cavet: Somewhat Redpill, objectifying, and reductionistic. Nevertheless helpful as a first pass for clueless young men to understand.]
- Women Prefer Submissive Roles in Relationships but Not in The Way You Think (Based Camp).
[Cavet: They have a libertarian morality; also, replace their “evolutionary psychology” with the more biblical idea that different genders and individuals are subject to differential temptations.]
[Cavet: A little overly-Redpill, but has excellent intellectual principals.]
[Cavet: A mix of inimitable genius, extreme moral libertarianism, and occasionally wild ideas. Read only as a mature Christian who can baptise the gold from the dross, or with a wise older counsellor who can do the baptising for you.]
- Dating: a Research Journal (Put a NUM on It)
[Cavet: A libertarian consent-based sexuality, and a little out of date.]
