| 2 | One overlooked reason why female agency is not useless?It looks like we both agree that social and biological factors play a role in attractiveness, but differ in terms of how much responsibility we give to either side. A comment I made in antoher thread here describes why TRP is more focused on the biological side. Men love in an idealistic manor. They imagine in their minds that there is a woman who can respect them, take them seriously, find them sexy and adventurous, and yet at the same time that this very same women will also be a shoulder to c… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/10/14 03:53 PM |
| 1 | Is it possible to scientifically test the efficacy of TRP? If so, how would you do it?You can tell that to population geneticists, who tack phenotypes across populations over several generations and do their best to control for environmental factors. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/10/14 02:34 AM |
| 1 | Is it possible to scientifically test the efficacy of TRP? If so, how would you do it?Let's take a step back and set some context. The Red Pill is a philosophical movement. It asserts certain facts about reality. Specifically, it makes biological assertions about the nature of male and female humans. Taking 'the red pill' is an analogy of the Matrix. People who subscribe to the red pill philosophy assert that they are seeing the world and human nature as it really is. The Blue Pill is really a movement that started as satire of The Red Pill. It quickly attracted people offended b… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/10/14 02:29 AM |
| -1 | Is it possible to scientifically test the efficacy of TRP? If so, how would you do it?If the frequency of genes that promote the aforementioned traits increase in the human population across cultures, it provides evidence that there is a biological basis for the preference of said traits. If those traits that do become more prominent align with those predicted by TRP, it would be evidence in support of TRPs premises. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/14 09:10 PM |
| -1 | Is it possible to scientifically test the efficacy of TRP? If so, how would you do it?No one in this thread. TRP opponents will frequently deny that attraction to certain body types is heavily biologically influenced, though. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/14 09:03 PM |
| 2 | RPs, how do you determine status? How do feel about men with higher or lower status? or of the inevitable status decline that comes with aging?All else being equal, which is almost never the case. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/14 08:52 PM |
| 1 | RPs, how do you determine status? How do feel about men with higher or lower status? or of the inevitable status decline that comes with aging?I think you're a tad confused. The people who are primarily interested in the socio-sexual status of a man are heterosexual women. With male-male relationships, things like common interests, a similar sense of humor, and compatible values go a long way. These factors are mostly unimportant to men when choosing someone to have sex with. They become increasingly important when a long term relationship is the goal. In short, the value that I am able to add to my male friends lives isn't only based … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/14 07:45 PM |
| 1 | RPs, how do you determine status? How do feel about men with higher or lower status? or of the inevitable status decline that comes with aging?I tell jokes and stories that make people laugh. I share my expertise of quality foods and alcohols. I encourage people to expand their minds and to think about new ideas and theories. I am good at getting groups of people involved in the same conversation or activity. In short, I add value to every social interaction that I partake in. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/14 07:31 PM |
| 1 | Is the disconnect cultural?I think successful sexual strategy changes depending upon the environmental factors of the time. African American communities have dealt with more poverty, worse employment rates, worse educational opportunities, and more institutionalized barriers to success on average than European American communities. This scarcity of available resources increase competition in the mating game, and as a result you see people revert to the lowest common denominators of attraction. Thus, you have a culture whe… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/14 07:28 PM |
| -1 | Is it possible to scientifically test the efficacy of TRP? If so, how would you do it?You could do population level genetic tests to see if, over time, certain genes become more or less prevalent. You can then cross-reference those genes with their associated traits and see which are increasing or decreasing in frequency. If TRP were true, I would expect to see a gradual increase in genes that promote height, testosterone, and other 'alpha' traits in men. In women I would expect to see genes that promote an hourglass figure, facial symmetry, and fertility to gradually increase. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/14 07:17 PM |
| 1 | RPs, how do you determine status? How do feel about men with higher or lower status? or of the inevitable status decline that comes with aging?How do you determine the status, mate value, of someone, yours or others? Is it more looks, or money, or popularity, or what? Regarding mate value... Initially my opinion is based upon looks. This is a pass/fail test, however extra credit is available for extremely attractive individuals. Step two is to see if they are generally pleasant to be around or unpleasant to be around. Again, this is pass/fail with extra credit for extremely pleasant to be around people. If they pass both of those tests… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/10/14 07:01 PM |
| 3 | If you had to pick only one which would it be: physique or game?Appearance and social skills both affect SMV. You need to figure out which area you are further behind in and focus on improving that. If you're 8% body fat but have approach anxiety, you'll get more out of practicing game. If you're fat but confident and outgoing, hit the gym. | /r/askTRP | 29/10/14 06:15 PM |

I agree and advise against taking on too much at once. You want to be able to dedicate yourself fully to your schoolwork, and later you'll want to dedicate yourself fully to the Krav Mega training. I am of the mindset that if you take them both on without enough time to dedicate to them, you'll be setting yourself up to either burn out or you will fail to gain the full advantages of eithe… | /r/askTRP | 29/10/14 06:11 PM |
| 1 | If you had to pick only one which would it be: physique or game?You won't see optimal results without BOTH. That being said, a guy with great game will always be able to get laid. A guy with a great body will not necessarily. Realistically, work out for 45 minutes 3 times a week (Mon, Wed, Fri), and socialize on Friday and Saturday nights to practice social skills/game. You can also practice day game and social skills in your everyday life. | /r/askTRP | 29/10/14 06:01 PM |
| 1 | How to deal with men with tall man complex?These tall men act this way because it has been socially and evolutionarily reinforced. They're larger, and throwing around their size garners them respect (or at least fear/subservience) from men and the tingles from women. With especially douchey types, the socialized factor is more important. As for your questions, I will never initiate a fight with anyone over anything, however if they fucking touch me I am not above violence.

| 1 | The one thing to remember when dealing with the anger phaseI have been thinking about this sort of thing more and more as the social justice warrior movement gains mainstream attention and discourse. These types of people are so hypersensitive and so eager to prove (To whom? Themselves?) that they are morally superior to everyone else, that they invariably find something that offends their ranks in a divisive way, and they eat each other alive. This is especially true of men in feminism. Hugo Schwyzer and Jian Ghomeshi come to mind. Fuck, Erin Pizzey, w… | /r/TheRedPill | 29/10/14 02:53 PM |
| 3 | I Just Refuted the "Street Harassment NYC Woman" Video, Enjoy:I agree. Also, participating in the public discourse forces you to flesh out and solidify your own beliefs. You need to really think everything through and connect all of the dots before you can intelligently argue something. | /r/TheRedPill | 29/10/14 01:59 PM |
| 3 | Redpillers - do you believe in morality, and if so what are the general principles?I wouldn't sleep with a married women because I want to live in a society such that if I had a wife, other men would be forbidden to sleep with her. Kind of reeks of Kant, eh? However, if society became such that infidelity were rampant, I would not object to partaking in it as the social contract has been voided already. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/10/14 08:56 PM |
| 2 | Redpillers - do you believe in morality, and if so what are the general principles?I make a big distinction between morality and ethics. Morality refers to the objective good or bad of some action. Ethics is a pragmatic study of what actions one ought take given whatever facts of the matter. As for the 'how far' I take that concept... I am admittedly influenced by Hobbes and his concept of the social contract. How far is one morally required to sacrifice for the greater good? Not at all. How far is one ethically required to sacrifice? That depends upon a myriad of factors. Gen… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/10/14 08:05 PM |
| 1 | Redpillers - do you believe in morality, and if so what are the general principles?You will see that moralist TRP users usually subscribe to a traditional, often religious based morality. The Bible, Qur'an, the Vedas and Sutras, etc. all prescribe rules for interpersonal relationships, and the justification for these beliefs is some form of divine command theory. The other users will usually be nihilists of some sort, denying all objective moral claims as false. I am personally a moral nihilist. I also believe that self-interested parties are pragmatically better off as indivi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/10/14 06:15 PM |
| 3 | Feminism Has Destroyed My FamilyVery true. What I mean is that he is the only one who has or ever had the power to set his family on the right path, not that he is somehow worthy of punishment. | /r/TheRedPill | 28/10/14 04:07 PM |
| 2 | Feminism Has Destroyed My FamilyHm. I think we're getting lost in translation. It's not his fault as in he did something wrong to deserve his fate or he failed to do something quickly enough. The point is that, as the man, it is his responsibility to lead the relationship and set a framework for the life of his family. This isn't for some moral reason, but rather because it is his responsibility in a pragmatic sense; he was the only person within that family that could have changed their fate, and he still is. | /r/TheRedPill | 28/10/14 04:05 PM |

From a submission of mine from a while ago: To be better than someone else is a relative position. If you find yourself asking, “In what ways does a women want her man better than herself?” we’re back to Gene Simmons. Ideally, she wants a man who is better than her in every way. She wants a man with more money than her, who is better looking than her, who is more sociable than her, who can dance better than her, who i… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/10/14 02:08 PM |

Correct if Im wrong, but hamstering is the mental gymnastics a woman performs in her head that allow her to say one thing and do another, right? Allow me to repost my definition of the hamster from another post: There's a concept in psychology called cognitive dissonance. Basically, when you have an idea in your mind, but then find evidence that challenges the veracity of that idea, there's a sort of mental tension.

| 1 | How would I, and people like me be viewed by Red Pillers?Prima fascia, I am going to say that your artistic endeavors add to your socio-sexual market value within artistic circles, and that this is the basis of your success so far. How successful are you in, for want of a better phrase, places where 'average' people congregate, such as bars, clubs, etc? Have you found that you are effortlessly able to get girlfriends and sexual partners outside of the art world? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/10/14 10:41 PM |
| 0 | For BPers, have you, or anyone you know in real life used redpill tactics in the past? How did it go? Redpillers, did any redpill tactic backfire on you?There's a lot of misconceptions about these tactics. What's important to understand is that these tactics are supposed to work on a subconscious level via the reptilian brain. These neural reactions are by definition unconscious, and therefore not something that when being elicited correctly one will be self conscious of. Thus, if the technique is working, the person whom the technique is working on is more apt to think, "Man, I can't stop thinking about <so and so>." as opposed to, "Damn, <so a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/10/14 08:56 PM |
| 1 | For bluepillers, does RP negatively affect men? If so, how? For RPers, does feminism negatively affect women? If so, how?The idea is that, by encouraging women to engage in behavior that is unnatural to all but a minority of women, we are setting women up for disappointment and unhappiness in life. From a specifically Redpill perspective, this means anything that encourages women to be more socially dominant, to abandon maternal roles, and in general to assume the same prerequisites for happiness between men and women. There is some statistical basis for this belief, as a few studies have found that the reported h… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/10/14 08:46 PM |

All I have said is that past a certain point you can't embellish the physical and that personality matters more than TRP seems to weight it. I think you see an emphasis on the biological/'nature' aspects that affect attractiveness from TRP because there is a lot of propaganda out there that heavily emphasizes nurtured traits.

| 0 | I caught my girlfriend of 2 years cheating on me, so I converted her into a plate, am I fucking up?My only advice is to be wary of whether or not you're primarily hate-fucking her for revenge. That would essentially be defaulting to her frame, and isn't good for setting the foundations of a strong, independent man. If you are bad-ass enough to be relatively emotionally uninvolved, you can keep fucking her. Also beware that she is likely highly emotionally charged, and fucking a lit stick of dynamite like that is a great way to get your shit fucked up. | /r/TheRedPill | 27/10/14 07:48 PM |
| 1 | For BP: how are women equal to men?I think men should not have the same rights as me because they take too many risks at the cost of others... Which is why men pay more for various types of insurance (most notably car insurance) than women all other factors being equal. The flip side is that women pay more for health insurance, as they use more health services. are too quick to go to war Digging deeper, an understanding of men as the more violent sex is the cultural norm.

After a lot of contemplation, I realized that I was only attracted to these women's intelligence after I already found her physically attractive. To date, I have not met a girl who was physically unattractive, but made up for it intellectually such that she was able to evoke a visceral sexual attraction from me.

| 1 | Why do I yearn for something I will never have?You evolved to make babies. Any emotions that aid this goal are heavily rewarded with hormones and neurotransmitters that make you feel great. Oxytocin, dopamine, etc. Your happiness and disappointment are immaterial to the goal. So, often your biology will promote behaviour that simultaneously promotes reproduction, but makes you existentially unhappy. | /r/TheRedPill | 25/10/14 05:23 PM |

They will unconsciously throw them out there to any man, period. If you find that the volume of shit tests you receive from a girl increases, or the shit tests themselves become more directed at you or intense, it is definitely a sign that she is subconsciously testing your frame.

She might not be down with only casually dating you, or might change her mind at some point. For a guy who is engaging in relations with multiple girls, you need to accept as a reality that eventually they will all get fed up and look for a beta bucks.

They feed off of a pool of beta orbiters to validate their existence, sort of a substitute for having actual valuable attributes to feel good about. They aren't friends with other girls because they are horrified of competition, and their fragile egos could never withstand the blow of being passed over for someone else.

Think of it as downgrading her to an aquantence. A hard next would be that you do not have any contact with her ever again, period. IMO, soft nexts are almost always better.

It's not some sort of quality scale from bad (beta) to good (alpha). Alpha, by definition, is commanding respect in a social situation. The more respect you command, the higher your social status.

It implies that you're involved with other women (preselection) and that there is some juicy mysterious drama going on (and who doesn't want to know more about that shit? It's instinctual).

It seems like you felt rejected, and allowed that rejection to alter your plans. I can see how it felt like you were holding frame, and in a way, you were, but the frame you were holding was one of 'I'm distant and take things personally', where it is more successful to have a frame of 'Look at this silly bitch!'

At the end of the day, while outwardly these appear to be different/contradictory, they are each successful because they hold frame.

I often don't 'put my foot down' simply because I don't really care about whatever decision is being made. What you'll find is a sort of combination of two things. People remember people who always put their foot down, and often will just do whatever that person says to avoid conflict. Stubborn people are not met with resistance, as they have proven time and time again that they won't change their mind.

| 5 | A woman's inability / unwillingness to communicate during a sexual encounter now deserves a new "rape-ish" label.She's dealing with cognitive dissonance between her hindbrain (that was turned on by how alpha/preselected/don't give a fuck the guy was) and her forebrain, thinking logical things like, "He is not the type of guy I should be sleeping with."

| 4 | An Analysis of "The Destruction Instinct"I'm pretty 'moderate' as far as TRP goes, at least in so far as the way I phrase things. My emphasis these days is on explaining things clearly and concisely. The outspoken angry TRPrs are bitter and coming to terms with their own brand of cognitive dissonance. Many have been hurt in the past, and have a hard time taking responsibility for themselves and their own happiness for the first time.

| 3 | An Analysis of "The Destruction Instinct"I think that women often will attempt to destroy a relationship in order to test it's resilience. This is usually done by extremely insecure girls (which is probably 90%+ of American women). It's the same concept as shit tests in the form of insults. They want to see that, despite their hysteria, you will remain strong and unphased. The relationship nuke is best avoided by not taking it seriously.

| 3 | An Analysis of "The Destruction Instinct"There's a concept in psychology called cognitive dissonance. Basically, when you have an idea in your mind, but then find evidence that challenges the veracity of that idea, there's a sort of mental tension.

| 6 | An Analysis of "The Destruction Instinct"This is what we refer to here as hypergamy (our tendency to want something that is better than oneself). The fundamental premise of TRP is that women are more hypergamous than men due to the fact that thier reproductive cycle takes a longer time and is more risky. Because women are more hypergamous, this leads them to constantly unconsciously size up the fitness (in the Darwinian sense) of their potential and current romantic interests, usually in the form of testing for the man's ability to be … | /r/TheRedPill | 01/10/14 03:50 PM |
| 3 | Exercises for shitty joints?Each joint in your body is comprised of bones, muscles, tendons, and nerves. Each of these factors must be kept in mind when exercising joints, especially weak ones. Injuries can also cause scar tissue to inhibit movement, and muscles around joints will often compensate for joint injuries by becoming more rigid and tight, which increases the structural rigidity at the joint. Side effects of this are that the tightened muscles will pinch nerves. This can also cause problems as when the muscles ar… | /r/TheRedPill | 01/10/14 02:36 PM |

I think a lot of the women who engage in this sort of behavior are so used to beta behaviors that they are sure that their demands will be met. Statistically speaking, they are probably correct in their assumptions. In short, I see this as a … | /r/TheRedPill | 14/02/14 09:52 PM |

Part of having self respect is feeling worthy enough not to have to subject yourself to poisonous, damaging people. At least regarding the relationships you voluntarily engage in.

| 0 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?Our perception of reality is so fucked up by selfish idealism that we have to call something that produces real results "the Game." It's not game, it's real life working in your favor. How is that a game? I just called it by its colloquial definition. At the end of the day, I guess a lo of us are just dissatisfied with the combination of natural and socialized variables that have come to make romance what it is today. I suppose all anyone can say to that is, "Deal with it or give up." | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 05:19 PM |
| 1 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?I guess it sucks because we allow ourselves to not base our self worth on the mating game by removing perceived value from the mating game (though I suppose this is just building realistic expectations as opposed to actually removing the value). I think for a lot of people, myself included, we saw finding a good mate and reproducing as the evolutionarily consistent measuring stick by which we can judge the success of our lives. By admitting that there isn't enough value in the mating game to bri… | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 04:43 PM |
| 1 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?I guess this is a fair criticism. I still can't help but feel duped, and it's going to be hard to accept what ultimately ends up being me needing to put more effort into life for less reward than I want. It makes opting out completely look more and more attractive, or at best makes putting any substantial effort into something seem like a waste. | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 04:26 PM |
| 0 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?I guess I am 'unlucky' in that I tend to naturally resent shit tests and being forced to do the monkey dance for respect and romantic attention. To then tell me that, not only is the monkey dance the only way, and not only is it more difficult than you thought, but also the rewards are temporary and not as good. I feel like I invested my money into a shitty company for less shares than I wanted at a higher price than seems equitable. In short, romance doesn't seem equitable anymore. | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 04:22 PM |
| 1 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?I think I'm more leaning towards lowering my standards and looking for whatever fulfillment I expected from women elsewhere. You can't expect a goldfish to offer you emotional fulfillment. I guess I feel rather disappointed after being lied to by society, my family, my friends, the school systems, my culture, and my government about what I can safely hope to gain from romance. It's looking more and more like romance ought be grouped in with things like getting drunk and playing video games; they… | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 04:01 PM |

| 1 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?I'm starting to accept that I need to look at picking up women the same way I look at adopting a cat. If you provide them with the right environment, they can be affectionate and fun to have around. If they suck, you need to put that shit to sleep. | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 03:50 PM |
| 0 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?it is still love, just different to what you thought I disagree. Words can have multiple definitions. At best, I was looking for lovealpha and am finding out that the only thing that even exists is lovebeta. You can call them both love, but they ultimately refer to different things. You can call fat free frozen yogurt ice cream (and maybe they're even somewhat similar), but fat free frozen yogurt isn't ice cream. | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 03:41 PM |
| 1 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?Be aware that TRP is a scale, Thomassi / Briffault is more of the harder side of the scale - it is really about guys who want very attractive women, and very attractive women can afford to be cruel. You want to fuck models, you can show zero weakness. I think I'm starting to set up a filter to automatically disqualify very attractive women. Well, she must be a huge bitch, so fuck that. Honestly, looks have never been important to me with regards to anything else besides getting my rocks off. The… | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 03:32 PM |
| 0 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?Peel the onion a little more. Before you "used game techniques" your success was actually from using game techniques. You just didn't know it. Your new knowledge has turned a black box into a remote control. I guess my frustration is ultimately that I'm dealing with a television instead of a human being, to continue the metaphor. | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 03:25 PM |
| 0 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?I think what I am realizing is that the worthiness of a woman (in terms of her ability to make me happy) is indirectly proportional to her hotness. The best, most fulfilling relationship of my life was with a women a lot of people might have skipped over on due to looks. | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 03:16 PM |

| 1 | Post red pill, is 'the game' still worth it?... and we expect that there's such a thing as true love? "the one"? we expect women to cater to our wants? why should they? Of course the Disneyland concept of one true love is bullshit. I was more hoping for a mutually beneficial arrangement where both people can love and be loved. I do often think about how fucked the world is and realize what a bunch of shit-throwing monkey brains we actually are. | /r/TheRedPill | 05/06/13 03:13 PM |
| 1 | The problem with the Child Support debate when utilizing "Pro-Choice" as reason to consider the idea of financial abortion.If a woman chooses to have a child even though she knows that the father will not take part in raising it, does that not then place the burden of that child's well being and rights on the mother? The 'equivalence between financial abortion and physical abortion' comes from the fact that it gives both parents an opt-out period. | /r/MensRights | 23/05/13 06:09 PM |
| 2 | The problem with the Child Support debate when utilizing "Pro-Choice" as reason to consider the idea of financial abortion.To answer your first question, because a child is a product of their DNA. A child's DNA is comprised of roughly 50% of it's fathers and 50% of its mother's DNA. Since both parents have made an equal contribution to the DNA of the child, both parents have an equal interest in said DNA. Since the DNA dictates the form and features of the resulting child, each parent has an equal right to the child. The issue people have can be broken down as follows. In the creation of a fetus, the man and women i… | /r/MensRights | 23/05/13 07:56 AM |
| 2 | The problem with the Child Support debate when utilizing "Pro-Choice" as reason to consider the idea of financial abortion.I'll say this. It doesn't sit well with me. Primarily because after the child is born, we're left with a child who is either under provided for, or taken on by the state. This argument is not really specific to the issue of a 'financial abortion'. It applies equally, for example, to low income or unemployed couples wanting children. If you want to use this argument against financial abortion, you need to implicitly support some sort of minimum financial environment one must be able to provide in… | /r/MensRights | 23/05/13 07:02 AM |
| 2 | The problem with the Child Support debate when utilizing "Pro-Choice" as reason to consider the idea of financial abortion.This bullet is the heart of the issue in my opinion. The issue MRAs have with current abortion/child support laws are this: After conception, but only up until birth (usually a shorter ammount of time, actually) a women has an option to opt-out of her responsibilities as a parent: abortion. After conception, men have no option to opt out of his responsibilities as a parent. The most often promoted solution is to give men the option to opt out of their parenthood (or any financial responsibilitie… | /r/MensRights | 23/05/13 06:01 AM |
