| 1 | Having a childI didn't say 'happy wife happy life' - that phrase makes me cringe. It brings to mind yes men, people pleasers. It's more taking responsibility for your happiness, then giving your overabundance to your spouse and child while kindly but firmly making sure they do not take you for granted (ie, being a good adult). Again, a fine line to walk, but that's what you commit to. I don't have to worry about things 'just working out'. I'll make sure they do - for all of us. And thanks for the well wishes … | /r/TheRedPill | 29/10/17 01:54 PM |
| 8 | Having a childThis really, really strikes me as "I did a vague and common thing, but failed - like other people fail! The problem isn't me, it isn't my choice of wife or all the decisions I made about how to manage my relationship or my life - it's all women! It's The System!" I'm sorry you're in a bad situation and got taken advantage of, but it sounds to me like you just got run over by adult life and aren't identifying the actual mistakes you made. Having a child is the end to one type of life, and then yo… | /r/TheRedPill | 29/10/17 01:22 PM |
| 1 | One Big Current Male DilemmaNo. You can be what you need to be at work and make everyone better. You know the great host at the party who can make sure everyone is having an amazing time? Doing the rounds, keeping drinks topped up, connecting people? Just be that guy at work. Destroy your stuff, help everyone else with theirs. You don't need to act submissive to do that. Be kind to others, be caring, be so good no one can ignore you. | /r/TheRedPill | 12/09/17 11:03 PM |

| 5 | Women are petrified of failure. Use that.FYI this isn't just women, this is a human being thing. This whole sub is about teaching men to stop being afraid of failure, to start taking risks without undue anxiety, etc. It's a lovely narrative you've made, but it's wrong. | /r/TheRedPill | 06/05/17 10:44 AM |
| 0 | Why Don’t Men Hate Being Single As Much As Women Do?It isn't ego validation, sweetpea - you made a claim about how things work across, say, the population of north america. I asked you to back it up with some large-scale data. You have nothing. I didn't make an unreasonable request. In fact, I was legitimately interested...until it turned out you were just blowing smoke. I'll keep an eye out for things on this topic in future, but I'm done talking to you. | /r/TheRedPill | 01/02/15 04:22 PM |

| -2 | Why Don’t Men Hate Being Single As Much As Women Do?Instead of talking about your feelings on this issue / your 'lived experience', head over to scholar.google.com and look for psychological science on either side. Women do have more (and closer) social relationships, and they tend to live longer because of it, especially if their husband dies. | /r/TheRedPill | 30/01/15 02:50 PM |
| 1 | What's the deal with sluts? A field reportFYI your "gut"is easily manipulated. Many white people get "gut"feelings about young black men, but only because they see them so much in the news. People derive their gut feelings from what they watch at least as much as from what they experience. And even then, to think that your "lived experience"makes you a master of making predictions about the outer world is beyond presumptuous. Gut reactions are good if they are consciously trained. | /r/TheRedPill | 20/01/15 08:56 PM |
| 3 | A woman associates everything that happens around a man - whether he has control over or not - into his characterr/iamverysmart I am an expert in this area. And I am telling you: there is no gender difference regarding the FAE, or self-serving bias, or any such cognitive/motivational bias. It is a human thing. Absolutely. Very very common. It is not a fundamentally male thing. Hell, if anything, men should be worse! High testosterone makes it more difficult to take the perspective of others - this makes it easier to hurt people and overtake them. Women are, on average, more empathetic (almost always) and b… | /r/TheRedPill | 06/01/15 01:41 AM |
| 8 | A woman associates everything that happens around a man - whether he has control over or not - into his characterMost people don't consider circumstances most of the time. That's why it's called the fundamental attribution error. I see a lot of "Women at their worst can't stand up to my idealized view of myself really using my head!" This fits into that. Also your evolutionary throwaway needs to be unsaid - it's nonfalsifiable and I'm guessing you don't actually work in that field (or have published within it). | /r/TheRedPill | 05/01/15 04:21 PM |
| 0 | Women's emotions are more volatile than men's. Therefore, the constant mood changes should be IGNORED, not CELEBRATED.This is so weird. Is this a humanities class? Gender studies? "Lived experience" > actual research? Jesus. | /r/TheRedPill | 01/01/15 02:44 PM |

| -1 | Women's emotions are more volatile than men's. Therefore, the constant mood changes should be IGNORED, not CELEBRATED.Oh, man. You guys are bizarre. If we're talking about research, I want to talk research - not feelings, not hey-let-me-tell-you-a-story. Is that ridiculous? No - not at all. | /r/TheRedPill | 01/01/15 02:12 AM |
| 2 | Women's emotions are more volatile than men's. Therefore, the constant mood changes should be IGNORED, not CELEBRATED.This isn't about 'lived experience' or "well he said it and it fits what I've seen so therefore it's true". I don't give a shit if you 'feel like it's true' based on your 'lived experience'. I want the actual research so I can evaluate it. | /r/TheRedPill | 31/12/14 10:38 PM |

| -2 | Getting What You Ask ForThis is an amazing post. I've commented here occasionally about the 'selection bias' of the redpill approach - essentially, it puts you in contact with the worst of women! Some good women will put up with that low level of treatment due to low self-esteem, but really good ones never will - and the best are clever enough to see right through you and just be uninterested in your shit. As OP says, if that's what you want, great! But don't let it sway your opinion toward women as a whole - the ['wom… | /r/TheRedPill | 31/12/14 02:35 PM |

| 3 | Red Pill: New Evolutionary TheoryPsychologist here. Short answer: no. Not at all. Silly thing to think. We can fantasize because our forebrains can make things seem real. The REAL benefit of this is future planning and prediction, which gives us the world we live in today. We can attach reward to things that aren't real (future states, say), and can motivate ourselves that way. Sexual fantasy is just us running a little subroutine to trick older brain structures into reacting as though something is actually happening. Any posit… | /r/TheRedPill | 19/12/14 10:20 PM |

I'm not christian/religious myself, but I was raised catholic, and my sister is a theologian who isn't religious (a pretty rare combination). Old testament, not really useful. New testament... Jesus doesn't really say anything that's incorrect. In fact, the story of jesus is viewed by some as a basic way to illustrate 'being human' to people too stupid to get philosophy.

| 1 | Why You Need to Give Up Video Games (and How to Do it)I really disagree with this. It shouldn't be "quit gaming omg panic panic", but rather "you should be aware of how gaming can negatively affect your personal goals". First, if you have poor impulse control, you'll go too far. And that's bad, just like going too far with anything - but it doesn't have to be. Second, games help me spend time shooting the shit with good people I want to keep in my life. I play games with my RL bros and it helps me - it makes me happy! The reality of my situation is… | /r/TheRedPill | 04/12/14 05:37 PM |
| 1 | The opposite of a red flag? What makes you think a woman is worth your time?FYI self-regulatory ability (ie impulse control) can be learned. It's a skill - you're just strengthening your ability to inhibit/control the signals coming forward from the back (reptile part) of your brain. The more you exercise self-control, the easier it becomes. Also, be aware that doing novel things with your SO is good, and is actually a positive version of 'dread game' - we often misattribute physiological arousal to others around us... this is why if you do something exciting with a gir… | /r/TheRedPill | 03/12/14 03:20 AM |

I'm a social psychologist and I'm lecturing on attraction / love / close relationships this week, so I'll give you two things that predict fidelity and long-term relationship satisfaction, and remember: this is true for men AND women - I see a lot of "women are this, men are that" thrown around here, when the behavioural psych lit just doesn't really support it. There really are a common set of underlying factors / personality constructs that are expressed differently in men and women d… | /r/TheRedPill | 02/12/14 01:41 PM |

I've never hooked up. I like having one partner, and I like my partner to be a formidable person. I'll describe how my relationship works so you have an example of how the sort of scenario you want might work. The main problem with TRP comes from the 'whole pie' mentality.

| 2 | Holding Frame for a JobWhen people socially interact their behaviour fluctuates along two orthogonal scales - dominance and affiliation. Someone can be very friendly but very dominant (what you are recommending), or very friendly and very submissive (what you do not recommend). Successful/'normal' people typically mirror each other on friendliness (if you are friendly I will be friendly; if you aren't, I won't be) and complement each other on dominance (if you are dominant, I will be more submissive; if you are submis… | /r/TheRedPill | 04/10/14 04:18 PM |
| 1 | "Males achieved significantly and substantially higher scores than females in general knowledge"OK. I don't know why you felt the need to make that statement in the context of this post, but OK. | /r/TheRedPill | 23/09/14 02:07 PM |
| 1 | "Males achieved significantly and substantially higher scores than females in general knowledge"I'm saying I know. I've read that. I know what you're referring to. I'm saying that that stuff deals in extremes and not averages, and so isn't applicable here unless the researchers were irresponsible and didn't check to see if they had any geniuses in their sample. | /r/TheRedPill | 23/09/14 01:40 PM |
| 2 | "Males achieved significantly and substantially higher scores than females in general knowledge"I really can't say if "facts talk" has a specific evolutionary base like "men were hunting and needed the extra memory". I doubt it. I also want to note that I explicitly warn my students against doing this sort of runaway conjecture. Women were gatherers, right? They need to know a lot about which berries to eat, which are bad, where they're found, and so on - so women are better at storing knowledge, because of all the little minutia required in gathering! Right? No. You could come up with an … | /r/TheRedPill | 23/09/14 12:02 PM |
| 1 | "Males achieved significantly and substantially higher scores than females in general knowledge"That's great, but still - cream of the crop. The normal curves overlap a lot, and they aren't recruiting the super elite for this study. | /r/TheRedPill | 23/09/14 11:55 AM |
| 0 | "Males achieved significantly and substantially higher scores than females in general knowledge"For Gf, in terms of this paper, that fact means zip. We're dealing with and making assumptions about most people. The "far right of the bell curve" in this case is something like 0.000001% of the population. Which is a neat fact! Useful. BUT, if you want to talk about trends and general knowledge, you're going to get laughed at if you try to relate the claimed 7:1 ratio to this sort of stuff. Do you think they have people with IQs that high in their sample? I seriously doubt it. If they did they… | /r/TheRedPill | 23/09/14 02:16 AM |

| 1 | "Males achieved significantly and substantially higher scores than females in general knowledge"fyi those are incredibly sweeping generalizations and I have no idea if they're true on average, if at all. Further, the research has nothing to do with mastery or even specialization...which means typical gender roles of provider / parent wouldn't be a clear explanation. Remember, the questions are things like "What metal is liquid at room temperature?" and "Who wrote The Republic?" These are just straight facts and not procedural knowledge, in which I think you'd predict men would surpass wome… | /r/TheRedPill | 23/09/14 12:16 AM |
| 9 | "Males achieved significantly and substantially higher scores than females in general knowledge"Social psychologist, here - I've done some research in communication/psycholinguistics, most of it gendered. "The results are interpreted as showing that sex diferences in general knowledge cannot be explained as a function of diferences in either Gf or experience. It is proposed further that general knowledge should be regarded as a new second-order factor and designated as semantic memory." TL;DR Men aren't more intelligent, nor are they more experienced in life. So what is happening? We do kn… | /r/TheRedPill | 22/09/14 10:15 PM |

Top 1% in, say, math ability...or, relevant to Google, programming. You want those people! But sometimes other companies will have those people, too. And your company is big, and expanding, so you need new talent. You can develop people to be close to there - so you do. I'm going to give you a bit of advice. I hope you're young.

Most valuable people worth investment and development are not super elite, or even just top 1%. I tried to be very clear, using straightforward language, easy-to-understand statements.

You can't just believe something because it makes you feel good. Of course I can extrapolate from data and make hypotheses - that's exactly what I get paid to do.

That's an article about Finland, not the U.S. (where there are no such laws, meaning the article doesn't relate to Google's practices...), and it's about board members, not employees. Are you thinking about this at all, or just mashing keywords into google scholar? I didn't say a word about higher ups - they're more likely to be men for a variety of reasons and I'm OK with the idea that forcing quotas for elite roles is suboptimal.

Which is wrongheaded. To get an idea what industry leaders are doing, maybe check out Google.

Here are some bullet points: I never said the top .0001% and etc would not be predominantly male. The higher SD communicates this, and of course I understand that - I work, in part, as a statistician.

The sample is also very specific - undergrads only - so that limits its generalizability.
