Did you seriously just say "Real Men" on this sub you dip? Go read the side bar.

Fuck. That's a "Misery loves company" situation if ever I've seen one.

Sure, it's not different at all. Redpill is Amoral, about achieving your goals for yourself. At the end of the day he should take care of his best interest first, and if he can live with not telling her than that is undeniably the action that's in his best interest. Women aren't wonderful, but neither are men. We're all filthy animals figuring out what works for us. Don't get all high and mighty.

It does seem somewhat white knight like, but I understand their intention. They've rationalized to themselves that by being redpill they're somehow intrinsically better and morally superior than others. They're having difficulty with the fact that Redpill is Amoral and people can use it however they see fit. It's difficult to see something you identify with used in a way that's repulsive personally, so they're dealing with a bit of cognitive dissonance.

Like he said, "Your cross to bear." It'll weigh on you, and it has a way of poisoning your thinking in the long run. I had a similar situation in my old LTR. I cheated and never told her, but the relationship never felt the same to me afterwards. There were other issues that eventually led to me leaving, but I do wonder if I hadn't cheated what may have been different. One way or another it'll always be in the back of your mind

I can really see both sides of the issue on this one. It's a shitty situation to find oneself, and if you don't have the stomach for it it's something that should be avoided for this exact reason.

I don't find this to be the case at all. I'm 23, and almost exclusively have dated/fucked women between ages 17 and 23. All but a few were able to easily orgasm. The others could, it just required more work/technique.

I think the best option here would be to ignore for now. Either she'll respond confirming, or suggest another time. If not on Tuesday evening say something like, "I'm going to be at 'xyz' cool place at 'xyz' time. Get a good look, because pictures cost extra." Pick someplace you actually want to go and then go, outcome independent, and have a good time with or without her. If she doesn't respond, who cares? Flirt with other women and get another number. If she says "maybe" soft next and don't re…

This is funny, but also interesting. It's as if they don't have anything of value to actually say on the issue , so they revert to the one thing they know will gain attention, their bodies.

Either wear it and don't let it effect you, or start to buzz it and don't let it effect you. What's really killer is the lack of confidence. Some guys can rock the thinning look, and if it works embrace it, but it's just as much about your attitude. If you shave and feel awful about it, then that's a lot worse than thinning and incredibly confident.

Yeah sure thing. The reason everyone says "NEVER TALK ABOUT TRP" is because too many people can't figure out how to say it the right way. It's not that hard though, and with practice you'll get it down. Just think of ways to explain TRP without the short hand/terminology and avoid absolutes and you'll be fine.

Usually I start it with, "in my experience there's a lot of ways that men and women are fundamentally different." nearly everyone I've encountered of all types will agree with this, and then the rest of the conversation starts from a point of agreement and their defense is down. for all intents and purposes this takes the place of AWALT in a conversation. I can then make just about any red pill remark and it usually won't cause a rise out of anyone because I'm using softer language and not talki…

It's easy to talk about TRP just so long as you call it literally anything else. Rephrase the language and just about anybody will agree with TRP concepts. I talk about it all the time and just avoid using any of the common terminology around here and everyone, EVERYONE agrees with me. Feminists, MRA's, plugged in friends, the sluts I fuck, my long term plate, my grand parents, everyone.

That's something I've always found interesting about the dynamic between the pills. You're right, we at TRP are often accused of confirmation bias, but who the hell would want to have this world view? I WISH the world was the way I was raised to believe it was. I wish I didn't have to implement TRP in order to have success with women. I wish feminism and "just being myself" were things that were good for me. I wish that being nice, supportive, physically unfit and vulnerable allowed me to have s…

And if I were a hammer you would look a lot like a nail. I'm not saying you haven't found a way to make it fit in your mind, I'm saying that you walked in looking to make it fit and since people are fantastic at confirming their own world view you had no trouble doing so. That doesn't make it correct, though.

This entire thread doesn't really do much to enrich people's understanding of TRP, but it's fucking hilarious to read. I would have written him off long ago. Thank you for putting in the infuriating work of continuing to debate.

This was my same thought. They're trying to hard to make TRP fit into the world the way they see it, which seems to be that of an undergrad psychology major.

/u/nomdplume's response is exactly right, TRP is an ideal to strive for. Different people are at different levels of realizing that ideal. No hamsters here, just an actual understanding of what we're talking about.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/01/16 07:30 PM

That's because the advice of TRP boils down to, "Take women off the pedestal, they're messy and flawed too. Do everything you can to make yourself as physically attractive and personally/financially successful as possible. Learn how to build your own value and what that value is." By definition anyone who follows that advice is going to be successful. It's basically a tautology. This shouldn't be a surprise, since TRP is results driven. We wouldn't give advice that didn't work.

That's a patently dumb thing to say. If you walked into a Tae Kwon Do gym there would be a few black belts leading instruction with a lot of people of varying skill level and who still need to learn the basics. you wouldn't look at the white belts and use that as a critique of the fighting style, because they're just beginners and still need to be trained on proper form.

In my current relationship it's not something that I really do. It's not a total unwillingness, but it's more of a chore for me, and she's able to cum from just about anything, so it's not something she really pushes. I still make sure she gets off multiple times every time we have sex, so we're both content to leave it off the table. Conversely, I can take or leave head- but it's something she really likes to do and gets her in the mood so I'm fine with it- but it won't really ever get me off. …

If you read above that's why it would be a good thing that it gets screened by Dr Warlock first. Being a SE contributor I'm sure he'd be reluctant to give it the green light if that were the case. The unique perspective that I think she could offer that is valuable is what a successful RP ltr looks like, what it takes from both parties, and how to go about discussing it with a partner. It's not something I've seen talked about in any kind of real detail on RP.

I think it might be good for TRP to hear that IT CAN WORK. Yes AWALT,yes marriage is on the whole a bad legal agreement, but with a commitment to the ideals and a willing first mate it can be done. TRP is a lot about instant sexual gratification, but it would be nice to have some more posts about the long game. I think the worst part about swallowing the pill is having to accept that your romantic fantasy of finding a woman who loves you for you is unlikely at best- but a demonstration of how it…

You're missing the point. Yes, the words are inflammatory and offensive. No one is denying that. That's the idea really. If it rustles jimmies all the better, as part of the point of using them is to vilify the behaviors they describe. The entire argument works towards that goal though and it's consistent with the message. Here I am owning that, but I don't pretend to speak for everyone at TRP so take it with a heaping helping of salt. I maintain however that it doesn't change the meaning of wha…

Those words may be antagonizing, but they're not wrong, and still say the same thing. TRP refuses to be politically correct with pride regardless of who it offends because it's more concerned about truth than hurt feelings. TRP never denies that this is the case, so we are owning it. What OP is referring to is unfounded personal attacks, intentional misdirection, and deliberately derailing a debate to invoke a negative reaction from the opponent which can then be used as an excuse to further dem…

Give a man an Axe and he can chop a tree or murder babies. It's not the Axe's fault. Give a man a sense of self worth, training to develop discipline in achieving goals, and realistic expectations in today's dating world, and what he does from their is on him. I suppose if you want to assert that TRP is morally corrupt, it's on you to define what moral is. Otherwise we're going to sit here and continue talking past one another.

TRP will say time and time again, the advice given is Amoral. It's a tool, and how it's used is up to the person who holds it. Want to manipulate sluts into sleeping with you? Go for it champ. Want to better your chances of having a lasting marriage? Good luck on hard mode. Want to learn to achieve things for yourself and learn how to be the best man you can be? Welcome to the party bud.

As always, fantastic article. Your essays and other contributors who really dive into the theory behind RP are what kept me around in the first place. I sincerely believe that as you and others in leadership positions within the manosphere continue to put out such well supported and explained essays, we'll see change on a larger scale, not just in the minds of men tired of the bull shit ineffectual gynocentric advice they've been fed from a young age.
/r/TheRedPill03/01/16 03:39 AM

Isn't that kind of the point? There's no advice out there for men, and what advice exists is shit. TRP has found a model that works and puts itself out there for those who want to use it. Men and masculinity are increasingly being chipped away at, and TRP seeks to fill the longing for a masculine space where men can discuss without filter what they want and how to get it. If there weren't a need for it, then it wouldn't exist.
/r/PurplePillDebate03/01/16 03:06 AM

While technically true, that's not a useful attitude if you actually want to debate in good faith. Real debate requires both parties to have an educated understanding of both sides of an issue.

It's shit like this that drove me to TRP to begin with. Feminists and their unashamed vitriolic hatred of men. I was raised liberal, and by 2nd wave feminist parents. They taught me that you should judge people not based on their gender, but by their ideas and their actions. I don't LIKE TRP, but it's the reality that we live in. The only reason I first started reading TRP was because I decided rather than to hate it because I was told to, I would give each side a fair shot. It went against ever…

Hey man, if companionship and emotional support while the marriage lasts is worth betting half your shit, the right to see your kids, and a chunk of your paycheck for an undetermined number of years, then go for it.

Really it's just an ultimate test of frame. All debate is basically trying to pull people into your frame, and prevent them from pulling you into theirs. It's a skill that can be taught, practiced, and mastered. And usually my debates don't have me stating facts that fall on deaf ears, but instead asking questions. I let my opponent talk themselves out of their hampstered delusions. This involves getting beneath the sound bites and ego and forcing them to question their initial assumptions.

I had the same reaction you did when I first arrived at this sub, but that's because you're reading these posts without context. This sub is about understanding human nature and society, then using that knowledge to maximize your own potential as a man. The things that are discussed here are not easy to believe at first until you start to notice them in the real world. If you are a rational and inquisitive person, I challenge you to read a few articles from the sidebar. You've got nothing to los…

I've got to agree with the other posters. Watch what people do not what they say. I've gotten plenty of action with my pretty average body, but that's with Damn hard effort in other aspects.

Possibly. There's the official doctor recommendation which would definitely advise against that, but I make calculated risks with other things, like my hobbies wake boarding or skiing.

I've gone AMA with light exercise and to do activities I enjoy like skiing and wake boarding, or as you pointed out fucking, but I'm a real life case of doctor sanctioned couch potato. I've not used that very real excuse to let myself go though, because fuck that. But I'm already doing just about all I can without exceeding the limits to a point of real danger.

I do have a defibrillator, had one since I was 11. A full decade now. And the official medical advice from every cardiologist I've had is to avoid any physical activity above perhaps light jogging. I've ignored this advice selectively in order to do things that I enjoy, like wake boarding or skiing (or fucking like I mean it for that matter). I'm on mobile, but there's an official sheet of condoned levels of physical activity, and its PRETTY limiting. Thanks for the response though. From the sou…

In a morbid way I am lucky to have family history. Several of my family members have had and passed away from the disease, so everyone who has the mutated gene is regularly monitored. When I started to show signs at age 11 they popped an implantable defibrillator in me. Keep in communication with your doctor. I wish you the best of luck man.

Called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. While I'm MOSTLY asymptomatic and lucky so far, there's a fun symptom known as sudden death syndrome- chance increases with stress on the heart. When you read a news story about an athlete or kid just keeling over dead while playing sports, it's usually my condition that they had and weren't aware of. While I'm willing to go AMA a little bit to avoid becoming a ham beast, there's no way I'm going to be achieving the kind of physique TRP preaches you should str…

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