A STORY IN 4 ACTS: Curtis Yarvin Gets a Girlfriend
This is the story of how Curtis Yarvin, a neoreactionary blogger, found a girlfriend.
ACT 1
Yarvin, aka Mencius Moldbug, posts a personal ad to his Substack blog in early September.

His wife, Jennifer, passed away in April.
ACT 2
Yarvin’s search for companionship is widely mocked.
I cringed when I read it. I cant imagine any woman worth marrying would reply to this. Lets see how this one pays off.

ACT 3
In a matter of days — and following a triumphant appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Today” — Yarvin wildly succeeds.

ACT 4
The internet pays its respects.
Moldbug posted on his blog that he wanted a girlfriend and generally wrote out what they meant.
Of course people (losers / incels) called the tactic “cringe.”
But now he has a girlfriend you don’t lol
