Many Such Takes: Rizz for Women, Lauren Sanchez, Big Girl Job and More

The most unhinged discourse of the week, always free

Welcome to Many Such Takes! For those unfamiliar, this is a free weekly segment (I also do lots of other stuff!) For Many Such Takes, I stay up to date with the latest and most chaotic Twitter (and now BlueSky) discourse so you don’t have to. If you see yourself featured here and you don’t like it, simply send me a Substack message and I will happily remove, no matter who you are or what you said.

Well, today Many Such Takes is all about the ladies. Not my choice—it’s where the discourse led this week.

Rizz for Women

This incident ties into something I was planning to write anyway, so I’ll get into it more next week, but I would be remiss not to write about a woman whose insane charisma and charm have been driving Twitter men wild:

So, at the risk of writing a dreaded “thinkpiece” about this (God forbid anyone write about the current thing) the short clip appears to be on some kind of low-budget dating show that nobody has ever heard of. My theory is that this isn’t a real show at all, but a staged clip intended to spark online discourse and get engagement that way. Like, not even one person has been able to mention the name of this show. But anyway, let’s pretend it’s a real show.

Basically, the premise seems to be that a single guy stands there while his friends or the hosts of the show watch backstage, and a bunch of women attempt to impress him in various ways. One woman, Rachel, apparently has tremendous game. The game in question: she’s very pretty, has huge boobs, wears a short skirt, and aggressively comes onto the male contestant with very over pickup lines, then pretends to be embarrassed about her “cringey” singing and breaks out into a song from Beauty and the Beast.

So, I’m not going to get into my full take, just because it’ll give away too much of one of next week’s articles, but a few obvious things here:

• This show isn’t real and the entire interaction could be staged

• Even if it’s not staged, she’s doing this explicitly to gain fame, not to win the heart of the man in question, and more specifically she probably wants to attract the attention of an agent which is why she starts randomly singing

• Even if her interest in the man was genuine, about 99% of her appeal is simply the fact that she’s hot.

But men on Twitter seemed to think she just had amazing charm and had stumbled upon such effective “game” that other women hated her for it, and she had effectively betrayed womankind by being so ridiculously feminine and charming. Some women agreed too:

Without getting into too much detail, even if you ignore my aforemtioned disclaimers about why you can’t glean anything from this interaction, my hot take is that this type of behavior would work very well to get a woman laid very quickly (not that this is hard for attractive women anyway) but would not particularly help when it comes to dating or relationships. The men who think they would like this would not like it if it came from an average-looking woman, and if it came from a super hot woman they would probably look around for hidden cameras and be weirded out by the whole thing. Being too available and too obviously interested (as I’ve written about before) is something men claim to want in a woman because it sounds better than having to “work” for her attention, but ultimately this behavior will get old pretty fast and the man will lose interest. Men will disagree, but sorry guys, you don’t ask a fish for fishing advice. Leave that to the fishermen (or in this case, women.)

And if you want my full take (and how it relates to a recent study I did on sexuality) you can subscribe for it next week!

Lauren Sanchez

In case you missed it, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez got married. Sanchez was featured on the cover of Vogue in her wedding dress:

Now, maybe this is just a “people don’t like billionaires” thing or maybe even a “people don’t like billionaire homewreckers” thing but people seemed to really hate her dress. I guess I don’t get why. Granted, I’m apparently a terrible judge of style, as many of you felt comfortable informing me earlier this week!

The UGLIEST dress? Really?? EVER?

Ah, yes, the classic Temu accusation, even when the dress is very obviously not from Temu:

I don’t even understand what’s going on here. Like, she may very well be a bad or unpleasant person but I refuse to be gaslit into thinking that dress is hideous. Not your style, perhaps, but it’s objectively fine and clearly isn’t cheap. Or maybe I’m just an idiot. Who knows. But if my husband and I ever renewed our vows (we never would—everyone would assume one of us cheated, but bear with me) I’d probably wear a dress a bit like that. I know this doesn’t help her case, but still.

Anyway, this is what I imagine you’re all wearing while you hate on this objectively pretty wedding dress:

Finally, someone did a comprehensive review of all the individual things wrong with the dress after someone basically called bullshit on the excessive dress hatred:

While I once again disagree with the kneejerk SHEIN/Temu thing, this was a pretty helpful outline that at least somewhat helps me to understand what’s going on, but all of this to me reads as “small details that make the dress less than ideal” not “factors that make the dress objectively disgusting.”

Big Girl Job

Internet anthropologist

coldhealing

released without comment a video of a young Chicago woman going to work at her “big girl job” downtown. Like many of these “day in the life” style videos, she shows basically zero actual work, except for the generic title slide of a training powerpoint she had to view and an empty Excel spreadsheet. She did, however, show her cute outfit and all the various liquids she consumed at the office. You guys know where this is going….

I could have predicted this as soon as I saw the first 3 seconds of the video btw:

This is basically classic CHH fodder. So there are a few things going on here, and I’ve already written about all of these things so I’ll link to them as I go. First, bullshit jobs exist. This woman may have one, there’s no way of knowing. Either way, she won’t be able to show her actual work on a TikTok video because she’d get fired (or at least disciplined) for it. I’ve worked some “real” office jobs where I wasn’t just goofing off all day, and it would have been a major no-no to show any amount of internal communications. This, of course, begs the question: why make a video like this? I don’t know, probably to show off the cute outfit. These videos should really just be outfit videos, but that’s neither here nor there.

Of course, what this video tapped into is the class war that basically exists between lower middle class men and upper middle class women—the women in this scenario are viewed as incompetent inferiors who have, due to some nefarious inexplicable forces (Jews, I guess) been given an unfairly privileged spot in society, along with fake jobs. I suppose the idea is that the Jews are giving them fake jobs because it will help to crater the population, although I have yet to understand why that’s the endgame (I’ve sadly been unable to attend the latest Jew meetings—scheduling conflicts, in-laws in town, you know how it is.)

You can tell these guys generally don’t work office jobs because if they did, they’d know how verboten it is to showcase your actual work to TikTok. I mean, I’ve been yelled at for telling another internal employee about the date of a new product launch, let alone blasting it to TikTok.

Anyway, there’s a belief that if these women lost their jobs (due to AI, DOGE, or something else) they would no longer be employable (because they have no “real” skills and companies are only hiring them because the Jews are paying them off to do so, or forcing them with a giant thorny menorah.) Then, if they didn’t have a way to support themselves, the subliminal idea is they would lower their standards and start dating and marrying men who they don’t really like that much. Not necessarily horrific or hideous men, but men who just don’t excite them. Then, boom, utopia. Or something like that.
