potential masculine asset.
Besides, don't forget that far more women poison their husbands than vice versa. No need to tempt her or give her more opportunity than she needs. Just sayin'.
Chapter Nine:
Alpha Move: Redecorate Your Bedroom
Is Your Bedroom Killing Your Alpha?
When a man marries (or moves in with) a woman, there's a long period where things are uncomfortable. You don't know where everything goes, you don't know about her stuff, and suddenly you're sharing things you didn't used to -- like a bedroom.
Men like the bedroom. It's where some of our favorite sex happens. But all too often over time one of two terrible things happen, and we don't realize it.
First, if you're a parent, your bedroom may become the repository for laundry, exiled toys, and assorted kid crap you want to maintain control over. Or, for some, a place you can hide all of your messy crap from company if you need to. Kids are messy, and they make us messy if we're not careful. And then there's your own crap: exercise machine, decades of SI, action figure collection, whatever.
The second thing that can happen is that your woman, secure in her relationship, decides to "nest" in the glory of her "big girl house" by transforming your bedroom and bathroom to what is undoubtedly Her Domain. Pillows, artwork, carpet, drapes, from the moment you enter the bedroom, it's Her bedroom . . . you just sleep there.
Now neither of those possibilities is very conducive to getting laid. A bedroom full of kid crap is distracting to the extreme. If you have very young children, the possibility exists that you will be in your moment of passion and the piles of laundry shift and suddenly you're trying to get your rocks off to "Elmo's Song" as their toys sing at you maniacally. Kids artwork is great, but it belongs elsewhere -- nothing can throw your Game like suddenly looking up at a hand-drawn pict ure of you with WORLD'S BEST DA DY on it. It's heartwarming – but not boner-building.
Likewise, if your woman has over-feminized your bedroom with five times the legal limits of pillows, artwork you don't like, or every stuffed animal she's ever gotten, getting laid might be less distracting but also less natural. Our surroundings influence us, and in the bedroom not only should we feel free to focus on the activities associated therewith, but we should also feel, as Men, that the bedroom includes a mixture of masculine and feminine energies that you both feel comfortable with.
Now that sounds like New Agey crap, but the fact is if you're bedroom is four shades of mauve and you go to sleep every night staring at your wife's prized Angel collection, your bedroom suffers from any sign of you, the Man. And it shouldn't have to. The visual portrayal of masculine energy aids in the establishment of masculine self-confidence and pride.
All too often when we marry we automatically defer (in fine Blue Pill fashion) to whatever our wives want to do with the bedroom, because, well, they happen to have the only functioning vagina in the relationship. As Captain of your ship, you have the right to have appropriate quarters that reflect your masculine soul -- especially when it comes to something as important as poon tang.
So take careful stock of your bedroom this evening -- really look around and take a mental inventory. Do you like the color? The curtains? The bedding? The bed? Does your stuff take up about as much room as hers? Do you have any artwork on the walls to match hers? Did you choose the carpet? Do you think the place would benefit from a stuffed moose's head?
Now, I'm not advocating that you turn your marital bower into a sports bar. But a few pieces of tasteful erotic art, a rug you chose, a bedspread you like, or an award you won are all suggested. If the place is filled with flowers and stuff you don't know what it is but it looks
