Firstly, these are my observations from 30+ years on this planet. These are not scientifically proven theories from "XYZ journal of whatever-the-fuck", but most of you can probably see the points I'm trying to make as they relate to your own lives and dealings with women.

It's easy to bash, berate and feel anger toward women - especially if you're new to TRP and are angry about the truth being different from the fairy tale we are told growing up (women love nice guys, ladies first!, happy wife = happy life! etc.) But let's think about some of the reasons why women are so different and why their points of reference give them a completely different perspective from men.

  • Girls are pretty and special. Every girl is fawned on by others from infancy, and it never stops. Nothing makes a little girl light up like telling her how pretty, creative, fun and special she is. Eventually, they believe it as a matter of simple truth. As they grow and face puberty, some girls become less attractive and so they hear it less. Young girls who are deprived of the constant affirmation and validation develop horrible body image and a craving for attention that influences their decisions. Girls who continue to blossom into decent looking women will attract male orbiters, random strangers (woman walking in NY video) and a string of men who will stroke their egos and constantly reassure them that yes, they are pretty, special and fun.

    This is why a lot of women make for boring friends and simply aren't as much fun to be around as guys - they were told they are perfect just the way they are, so they never bothered to improve and grow a personality. Eventually, women tire of having their asses kissed and they seek out men who will challenge them and won't put them on a pedestal. This is where "nice guys" fall behind, because on a deep level, women resent being constantly fawned over and they don't want to be some guy's "special princess". As most women become fat or burn themselves out, the constant validation stops and bitterness sets in. Wouldn't you be stoked if everybody told you you were handsome, special, fun and witty from the time you were born, even if you really weren't? Wouldn't you crave that affirmation too?

  • Girls are delicate. Girls are sheltered from rough play and all boys are taught that "no matter what girls do to you, do not retaliate or hit them". Most of us can relate to this - when I was a kid, a girl crying meant somebody was getting in trouble - this continues into adulthood. Women quickly figure out that they can push, prod, berate and attack men with impunity because of the widely-accepted notion of women being "delicate" and "weak". Men who retaliate against a woman are swiftly dealt with by people coming to her rescue. A woman's perceived physical weakness becomes a shield that protects her from the consequences of shitty behaviors. If you could act as shitty as you wanted with no fear of repercussions, wouldn't you indulge in it just a little?

  • Girls are emotional. This is a socially accepted "fact" that is perpetuated and used as a blanket excuse for everything from moodiness to psychosis. It only takes a few tears and sniffles to generate sympathy and receive help if you're a woman. A well-timed breakdown can get a woman out of work, school or anything else that's too hard to bother with. Girls who are emotionally unstable are given leeway, sympathy and support that no man in a similar situation would receive. Wouldn't it be awesome if you got the day off for crying at work? If your tears summoned a flock of concerned sympathizers, wouldn't you learn to use that to your advantage?

  • Girls are treated better by pretty much everybody. With little more than a smile, a girl can get men to bend over backwards for them. If she steps it up and twirls her hair and bats her eyes, doors will open for her. Women who are good looking won't hesitate to use their looks to their benefit, because they know men are a sucker for a pretty face. A pretty girl in today's modern society has shit done for her - plain and simple. When you're used to having things done for you, you learn to expect and demand it. Can you blame women for relying on their looks if it works so well for them? If all it took was a little flirting to move YOU to the front of a line, get you free drinks and meals or get you out of a traffic ticket, wouldn't you do it too?

  • Girls have their pick of men. Men can do everything we can in our power to improve ourselves to try to land a mate, but women get to measure, weigh, judge and find us lacking. Unless she's extremely fat or horrendously ugly, a woman will never know what it's like to be a man in the dating market. Men have to approach many times to be successful, and women do not know what that amount of rejection feels like, nor do they have to put in as much effort to find a mate. Women just have to choose a guy. That sort of power tends to inflate a woman's estimated value of herself and many women want men that are simply out of their league. Sadly, even ugly or morbidly obese girls can still find a man to love them - even if he's not the Tatum Channing they feel they deserve. Wouldn't it be awesome if women hit you up all day long and all you had to do was just pick which ones you wanted to be with?

  • Girls are not culpable - it's just not their fault - ever. Browse any relationship thread or TwoXchromosomes and you will see that women view themselves above reproach and can justify damn near anything to themselves. A woman's hamster at full throttle is a wonder to behold. If she's not making excuses for herself, others are rescuing her with excuses on her behalf. Women will willingly paint others as the bad guy to come out on top and will throw their best friends under a bus if it means furthering their agendas.

    Domestically abused women are always the victims, no matter what she might have put her man through to make him snap and ultimately explode with violent rage. By comparison, women who abuse their men are shown more sympathy then their male victims, who are usually made fun of for letting a "girl" beat on them. Female rape victims must never be questioned with skepticism, yet female-on-male rape is laughed at and summarily dismissed as her "doing him a favor". Women are often given the benefit of the doubt, where men are readily seen as the aggressors and perpetrators. Even when women are found guilty, they generally receive a disproportionate amount of sympathy and more lenient punishments than their male counterparts. Wouldn't you abuse that sort of one-sided perception if you could?

Of course we wouldn't partake in those behaviors, because the vast majority of men aren't given license to capitalize on them. If we were given those passes, who's to say we wouldn't act the same? For many women, these things are just an inherent part of being female, so to indulge in them is normal and acceptable. Again, these are just my own observations.
