I don't see a false dichotomy. I am not pro-RP, but I think it's important that we grant and engage with the data backed claims they make. It is simply a fact that what women say they want in a man does not always match what their actions say they want in a man. At a population level, women do prefer tall, masculine, financially successful, socially confident, in shape men with great hair and faces. The data don't lie. The problem with RP is it takes these population level facts, twists them a b…

I disagree. I think RP theory is counterproductive, but it explicitly offers a solution. From what I can gather, it's something like this: A) Understand what women want based on their actions and not words (they want masculine men), B) transform yourself into a masculine man, C) enjoy the fruits of being a masculine man that women want.

I do not think that.

On Tinder, 80% of women match with the same 20% of men. That trend doesn't hold in the real world. That means women are dating and entering relationships with men that they would have swiped left on. In other words, they are pickier on Tinder than they are in real life. Why? because they have so many options on Tinder. A lesser version of this is phenomenon is happening in real life. Hook up culture also gives women a false sense of their options. More men want to hook up with them than want to …

Sure, but our interest is painted by our options (real or perceived). If you have an overinflated sense of your options you are going to be pickier than you otherwise would be. I mean the alternative is a staple of red-pill ideology: that 80% of women really are only interested in 20% of men.

My wife. Red-pill ideology didn't really allow for the fact that my wife loves me for who I am. Both things couldn't be equally true. For a bit, when I was feeling extremely insecure, red-pill felt closer to reality to me. But over time, I couldn't ignore all of the signs that my wife's love for me was real. That didn't fit with Red-Pills view of her as a woman, so I had let those views go. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I don't know if I would have snapped out of it without her. If I was sing…

Thanks for catching that. I edited. It is really sad. I've always held that it is easier to be a man in todays dating climate. You're options are much fewer but they are usually genuine. I'd rather have 5 matches that I can trust to be genuinely interested in dating me than 1,000 matches and having to sort through who is actually interested in that.

I think Tinder exacerbated and highlighted the problem more so than created it. I think the RP crowd are misusing the biological descriptions of human mating. But the biological descriptions do exist (and obviously predate Tinder). Women preferred taller, more successful men before Tinder, for example. Just like men preferred pretty women before Tinder. We don't need to pretend these kind of messy and uncomfortable bits don't exist. We just need to understand them in their proper context and not…

Here is a question I ask myself when I am in your situation that might help you: "How do (or would) I act when I like someone?" I respond to their texts, for example. I try to make plans with them. I am happy to hear from them and let them know that--directly or indirectly. If you want something concrete that you can do to improve your situation, try this: "Hey [Name]. I like you and am hoping we can get to know each other better. I can't tell if you feel the same. Is dating me more seriously so…

Exactly. I remember thinking I was so clever and edgy when I was younger by pointing out that love is just chemicals in the brain. Red-pill kind of feels like that. Like, you can reduce the human experience to brute facts if you want to. But I'm going to enjoy it.

I found red-pill while in a relationship, so I am not quite the person you are talking to, but I can tell you how my view of my relationship changed. My core wants, needs, and wounds never changed. Red-pill is an algorithm that runs on top off all of that, a new context for it all, not a true remaking of it. I think most of us want to love and be loved, to be accepted and have someone to share and navigate life with. I think that is true even of the RP guys telling themselves they want novel sex…

The concept is "competition anxiety." The idea is that your partner sees you improving yourself and being more social/flirty and sees you as more of a prize and doesn't want to lose you. So they are more attracted to you and more willing to compete for you. I think there is probably some merit to the concept but it feels gross morally.

Thanks for sharing your opinion on me and my personality, Kohana55.

What behavior are you referring to specifically?

I just ordered the audiobook. Excited to start listening today. Thank you!

Maybe. Much less pathetic than making her feel insecure about her marriage to get what I from her though.

I'm sorry he hurt you like that. You didn't deserve it. I hope you find someone better suited for you (if that's what you want).

A comment on a reddit thread. I started in dead bedrooms and browsed a few other relationship/sex subreddits. The figure heads of the manosphere are less overtly toxic than the forums (and subreddits). So you start with them. And to give the devil his due, there are some kernels of truth. The specific author I found first was Anthol Kay. I snapped out of it by questioning myself and coming to realize that the story being sold to me didn't fit my circumstances. Not perfectly, at least. Talking to…

I would have said the same thing at one point, FWIW. I do hope that is true--for your sake and his.

You'll never understand "people like me" (and really people) if you moralize instead of listen.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
