The Tyranny Of Ambiguity by Simon Sheppard
Mr. Sheppard has written an interesting book. He labels it his account of the development of a System of Human Behaviour Analysis called Procedural Analysis. The bulk of books analytical landscape is set in Amsterdam. If you read Glenn Wilson's - The Great Sex Divide this is close but on a much larger scale. The book weighs in at almost 500 pages but interesting and easy to read. This book won't win any awards with women's groups and you won't find it in your local bookstore. Lots of men will relate to some of Mr. Sheppard's experiments in the mating field. Below are a few interesting quotes from the book:
Mr. Sheppard saves the race issue for last but doesn't hold back. He presents some thought-provoking text through-out:
IMMIGRANTS. THE DOMINANT FULCRUM. Females derived power from their adulation, even remotely, by immigrant males. The presence of immigrant males provided an initial implied threat then, as time progressed, females' actual ability to mindfck their males at the Second Level. If the female could not find a White male who would cow-tow to her, respond to her slightest signal, hang on her every word and generally treat her like royalty, there was always an immigrant (or five, or ten) who would. He would then be used in affront of her own males.
Immigrants intensified male breeding competition, increased the level of signalling, provided females with more behavioural latitude, increased the subtlety of the hints they used and raised their expectations of the control they could exact in a relationship.
On a larger scale, the presence of large numbers of immigrants was offensive to male territorial instincts and by the suppression of masculine instincts females were able to further augment their power. Immigrants occupying the posistion of underclass promoted females, by displacing them. More subtly, the greater the fecundity of non-whites (which, again, the female would be unlikely to miss) promoted greater reproductive competition which Whites felt obliged to match, supplying a further pretext for females to have babies.*
And another experiment many can relate to:
*F20DPL and I stopped and talked on the street and she asked my advice in terminating her year-long relationship with her Irish boyfriend because, she said, she liked another boy and wanted to change. The "other boy", it struck me later, could have been me and I may have been expected to use the opportunity, in a rare level of intimacy with a girl I hardly knew, to establish a relationship with her.
A similar hint had been given by F21DBI, the Bitch I interviewed over breakfast one morning. She had told me that she had a boyfriend and was only polygamous when moving from one boyfriend to another.
The earliest occasion was from someone whose intention was veiled but nonetheless quite clear some time ago. She offered to end her relationship with M34EEI if I would step into his shoes. It may be that the better known I was to the female, the less obscure were the hints, or at least, the more clearly the hints were understood. I did not respond in any of these instances; in the earliest and most directly stated case the male who was in danger of redundancy was a friend, and in any event it was not my way of conducting relationships. This practice can be guaranteed to engender male uncertainty, if not neurosis, well into any relationship which was the product of it. It would result in insecurity in the male: 'I'm here - in a relationship I want - good - but now the same might happen to me.'*

Some more quotes:
PROSTITUTION. In those males who were monogamous (in this context, desired to have sex with a known, steady partner), probaly the majority due to long-term selection of the trait by females, the rapidity of his encounter with a prostitute and the abrupt departure afterward was effectively a mindfck. It confused the male, making him susceptible to female manipulation.
And obvious parallel existed with the brevity of many relationships locally. One Dutch male I met said "It's not getting them that's the problem, it's keeping them." I had by this time been told "I don't want to have sex with you again until I'm not your girlfriend," and this from a 19 year old blonde I had wanted to keep. The costs of sex were displaced. Thus for example if a male found himself in a relationship which was unsatisfactory, which he might Ordinarily abandon, it was practically impossible for him to avoid thinking 'Well, it's free'. Similarly the female could exact a greater cost (in terms of control) for a service which had been assigned a tangible value. Prostitution defined the cost of sex monetarily and suppressed the awareness that females alos needed sex. It intensified male breeding competition and enhanced male neurosis. Several men commented how disturbing they found it to see women they were genuinely attracted to behind the glass.*
TELEVISION VISION, TVV. Another behaviour pattern, which is also likely to be familiar, is a male 'Looking to see what he's got' after a sequence of relational transactions with a female. During conversation and exchanges of signals between them the male makes extensive use of TVV, keeping his attention away from the female's body so as not to alarm her and perturb what appears a promising situation. Then, transactions complete (e.g.the female agrees to go back to the male's home, or an assignation is made), the female retreats on some errand and the male is able to survey what has landed in his lap. In reality the female has placed herself there. This is a good combined example firstly of female control, secondly of male use of TVV and thirdly of male indiscriminacy in their selection of partners.

The book is worth fifty bucks?

Bardamu, it's worth it. The overall book itself looks high quality as do the pages. The book comes minus a dust cover but not a big deal.
Only drawback was waiting 2 weeks which is understandable being it's shipped from the UK to US. I finished the book fairly quick, because the subject matter draws you in.
If you're interested in this type of subject it could easily be read many more times. If you own Glenn Wilson's The Great Sex Divide and liked it, Sheppard's book is a whole lot better and more in-depth.

Thanks Frank. Maybe during my next round of book ordering I'll purchase it. Right now I'm waiting for Duke's Jewish Supremacy; Imperium; and None Dare Call It Treason.
