The title is the TL;DR for this, but the body of this post should clear up any misunderstanding. I feel it's pretty straightforward.


Everything about a woman from a sexual market place perspective is designed to ensnare and capitalize on male attention. Her looks are the first and most obvious part. But the point of this post is that the second part is a little less obvious: her emotional volatility is a utility.

I'm sort of copy/pasting bits from comments I've made the last couple months on this topic. The threads were "Why Women Shit Test" and a comment about why women are so dramatic. One argued it's because they love drama, another because they need the attention, I'm arguing that it is unconscious and evolved. Women who were more emotionally volatile created more effective and lasting bonds with their men. (admittedly, this could be a contrived theory to reconcile the behavior of modern women, but I'm not enough of a history buff to say things were ever so different. so criticism is invited.)

We can basically agree that emotional volatility and shit-tests belong in the same category of behavior. The age old question is why are women like this? By viewing emotional volatility as a utility, we can find the answer to this question in the product of the behavior. Utilities serve a use, they are a means to an end. We make sense of the ends, we have our answer.

A woman tests a man or gets overly emotional over something. The possible products of this behavior: the man caves to his woman's will, or he establishes boundaries for her/ talks her off the proverbial ledge.

In the first option, the product is an easily manipulated man. It should be obvious why a woman wants this.

In the second option, the product is that the woman feels secure and provided for and the man feels like a secure provider.

A woman loves a man because of what he provides her, but what I'm proposing is that a man in turn loves a woman for what she provides him: a validation of his masculinity. A man can't love a head-strong bitch of a wife because she completely emasculates him. A man can't love someone who makes him hate himself. A man loves a woman who makes him feel like a man.

Emotional volatility is a win win in both scenarios for the woman, you see. Either she discovers ways in which she can directly control her man, or the positive roles that allow both people to love the other are reenforced.

It may seem paradoxical at first, but by luring a man into disciplining/comforting her, she's systematically rewiring his brain towards maintaining the role of provider and caretaker which enables him to love her in the first place.


Expanding this idea, if it's true women have always been emotionally volatile and it served this purpose in pair-bonding, then it follows that the problem with feminism is two-fold. It lies to women that their volatility is empowering, good in and of itself, and caused by the transgressions of the male gender. But it also erodes the idea of positive masculinity inside the man's own mind.

When a man is shamed into believing that standing up against women's volatility is wrong, all you get is the worse case of the aforementioned scenarios. You get a woman who is consciously entitled to rampant manipulation, and a man who is completely emasculated and incapable of truly loving his wife or himself. And we wonder why the divorce rate and male suicide rate are so high.

By creating a positive identity for masculinity, TRP will help heal this rift by allowing both men and women to feel validated and comfortable in their roles.



EDIT: What I think is also interesting is that if we view all the field reports about guys standing up to their GF's and laying down the law, we can clearly see that their masculinity is validated. I mean, fuck, we're all just a few words away from spelling it out directly. I think the fortunate caveat of TRP is that while that positivity is healthy and good for the relationship and our minds, we can take things to the next level and understand that just because our ego is fed by our interactions with a girl, doesn't mean she's any different or that we can't drop her-- We know when to draw the line. I believe this is because we've all had to come directly to terms with our egos to arrive at this perspective in the first place. Being aware of how things make you feel will allow you to keep your mind in check and keep people from manipulating you by intentionally making you feel that way. Ex: a woman will trap a man by feeding his ego so that he comes to her to feel whole.
