I think the more I read PPD, the more I am forced to consider the tenets of TRP more critically. This is a good way for me to learn about the sexual marketplace with more depth, and with some input from women too who are clearly disgusted by our way of saying things.

I think what begs the question most is: are women and men equal?

No, they aren't. That much is fact. Men are physically stronger, women are more socially intelligent. Men evolved to be physically stronger and more spatially aware in order to hunt and track, and women evolved to be social animals that kept society together (familial bonds).

Beyond this, we can only speculate based on experience and research/statistics from either side of either camp. There are those who try to push extreme perspectives on both ends: "All men are rapists" and "all women are selfish and manipulative". What's funny about these two statements is they both go back to each gender's evolutionary advantage: physical vs. psycho-social.

The problem with this sub though, is that everyone chooses to attack instead of letting go of the ego and being open to radical new information. This applies, again, to both sides of the coin.

Some leave comments that are actually constructive, try to reach the point, and try to delve into an idea. If I were to say all women behave like children, I could actually mean that men interested in a particular woman for sexual purposes should treat the women they are trying to game as children.

I could also mean: women are inferior and should be disciplined and reprimanded like children. Or: girls just wanna have fun.

When it comes to making these blanket statements though, TRP is not trying to indoctrinate men. The advice is meant to be provocative, simple, and straight forward. That way you don't forget it. It stays with you, and helps you adjust your behavior to stop being so self-conscious and outwardly focused. Rather, TRP pushes people inward in order for them to see the severity of their weaknesses and helps them tackle them in a multitude of ways. I think the primary reason it's so harsh to women is because the men who seek out TRP were severely hurt by women, and they find that their previous pedestalization of women throughout their lives is what caused most of their problems with attracting the opposite sex. It's hard to approach a woman when you believe deep down inside that her pussy is worth more than anything you can give her. What's hard to appreciate is that lots of women are aware of the inherent pussy power they have, but very few men are aware of their penis power (or the value they bring to a sexual relationship).

Women are also generally (through feminism) pushed to explore their sexuality and be open and honest with themselves about their needs and wants when it comes to sex. Men are told to repress their creepy rapey vibes and that their masculinity is toxic.

One thing of note that I think is really important: most people who end up on TRP spend time there, learn what they need, and (those who are successful) generally tend to leave and do their own things again. It's a coping mechanism for trying to understand female psychology with regards to sexual strategy and overall fulfillment. Many men are confused as fuck, and that's a way for them to find some clarity. That doesn't hurt people, it helps them. It's also why a substantial portion of new posts on the TRP subreddit are shit posted by trash people who have no idea what they are talking about and are seeking the validation of an online community.

It is also meant to challenge what you guys don't seem to understand as generally 'beta' qualities that do seem to be indoctrinating a whole generation of men. Let's call these: qualities that are unattractive in a man (rather than to a woman). Supporting your children and creating a comfortable life for them and your wife is not a beta quality. A beta quality is doing that for your wife when she is giving you no sexual validation and heaps of emotional and psychological pressure. That's a relationship no-one (male or female) would want to be in, but lots of men feel trapped in. In a sense, TRP is simply trying to masculinize emasculated men. It gives men purpose, direction, and true fulfillment. There is nothing bad about that, and I'm sure most of you can agree with that. (If you don't, I don't really care what you think).

My point is when you want to find out how someone thinks you don't attack their opinion from every angle with a circle-jerk following fast behind. That doesn't make constructive change happen. If you have a point, instead of attacking the writer, engage with him/her and try to get down to brass tacks. Lead people into giving you their full perspective, and maybe you can see it more clearly. Ideas are powerful things, and they can help serve or demean the purpose we set ahead of us. Conversation is a way of progressing the construction of ideas. What I see on this sub is just regression and name calling for the most part.
