From the Foreword:
"Now, the nature of the content of this work will at first seem controversial. I personally am more open to this kind of material than most so it wasn't shocking for me. In fact, it confirmed and linearized many of the thoughts I had about this subject before I even read it. But seeing as I know it is liable to spark controversy, I should make it known that this is not, as far as I can see, the purpose of the work.
No. From what I can tell, this is the honest attempt of an isolated young man to understand just what the hell is going on in the world today. He could have spent his time talking politics, the economy, or any other metaphysical subject. Instead he turned his attention to the one with the most glaring deficiency; human mate selection. With the supposed spread of so-called incel terrorists it must have become apparent to this young man that something had to be done.
While other authors and political leaders turn to hate, this man turns to understanding. He tried above all else to explain the what of attraction. He makes it clear early on that the work is not a guide to self-improvement. It could not be taken as that even if he didn't clarify it. Within is, essentially, a fact book about what females are attracted to. It demarcates in excruciating detail just about every trait of a man that one can and explains that trait's relationship to female attraction.
I should clarify, if it wasn't already apparent, that this work is not a complete science. Accepting this fact and being at liberty to craft the title for the work, I felt it appropriate to call it a "Groundwork" for the future science addressed within. Hopefully this is not too weak nor strong of a descriptor and the young man will forgive me for any apparent transgressions against him. But I make it sound as if there is nothing here, which would be the biggest lie I could tell right now. Absolutely not. There is a depth of knowledge here that seems completely untapped by the mainstream. Why this subject has remained so un-engaged for so long is beyond me. But what we now have thanks to this work is the first truly piercing insight into the realm of Male Aesthetics."
