I'm 25 and just started making 50k a year ( the most I've ever made salary wise in my life). I still live with my parents, and I contribute what I can to retirement. This is gonna sound chronically online, but I consider myself a good man. I volunteer, I help my young cousins with school, I never got arrested, and have a degree. I took my life seriously, and it's only up from here. I just saw a tiktok video about a woman saying "good guys" are the ones you should have discernment for when dating…

In 7th grade I was rumored to be a pedophile because I mustered up the courage to tell a girl who was literally the same age as that I liked her. I think I was 12-13yo at the time. Started growing a beard in 8th which for some reason made the teachers think that telling me I wouldn't be anything once I grow up would be OK to do because I looked old enough to take it. I used to be embarrassed to tell my therapist the things that happened to me. I told her that I didn't like, nor trust women. I us…

Honestly. Your older neighbor with a wife and kids that have been married for double digit years. Your dad. The one that raised you. Who is realistic, but cool to you. Who has been with your mom for xx amount of years. Your highschool instructor for whatever trade you're in. Who taught you about work and being consistent and self reliant.

I get it's a compliment on your side but think of it like this. If me as a guy had a bunch of women before you and I would buy them expensive things and fly them out to places on my dime. Then Here comes you, my wife, and I came to tell you that you're the woman I would want to pay half on the house and half with the chores while we go on dates like Applebee's. And MAYBE go on vacation once a year paying half for that. You're telling me you wouldn't feel some type of way?

Yeah my response was out of emotion and I was triggered with the whole young girls selling themselves. Young women is a different story I'm not gonna shame a grown woman for doing what they want, but I was specifically thinking about girls that decided to run the fast life for material gain. It hurts seeing girls, not grown women, girls, get coerced into that lifestyle early, and they get trapped by the promise of materialism and thousands in cash. I'll admit me saying my feminist comment was fa…

I'ma be the outlier but as a single man why would I buy a house? To be real with you I buy a trailer before buying a house since I'm single and by myself. A small apartment is good for me. I just Don't see buying a whole house just to be by myself.

IMO. It seems to me this obsession with incels feels like a lazy/easy excuse to shit talk men while saying your "fighting" against misogyny. No I'm not defending misogyny fyi. Plus the word incel is such a popular word today. Anyone using it as a talking point will immediately get views across all websites. It just reminds me of redpill people using pornstars and sex workers, or any young girl to get men to believe all women are gold digging, hypergamous, evil spirit people that get everything t…

Seeing everyone else post statistics there's not a lot of women that are having sex with multiple people. I might not be right, but I kinda assumed if ur a regular person usually ur sex is coming from being already in relationships. And the more promiscuous men and women usually have a lot of time on their hands, or are getting paid to have sex ( sex worker, pornstar etc). This is redpill taking a minority of people and pushing as if every woman in the world has been ran through by the time they…

Well that's how they reel you in at first. The self improvement is to bite and peak your interest, because especially when you're young, the fantasy of money cars and women is high. They sell you that dream. Tell you to buy a course and they'll get you there guaranteed. And when you notice the teachings are just pseudo science and bullcrap, that when you get the " you just suck and gotta fix yourself bro". It's just to make money off of the insecure, and ignorant audience.

it's hard to for me to understand on an emotional level how you can going from being bullied to trying to be a bully yourself and worshiping huge bullies like Tate and other TRP gurus. It's embarrassing for me to say. In middle school, my bullies were mainly girls. Sure I had some boys pick on me and such, but my bullies were girls growing up. Whether it be my sister, mom, my peers, teachers. It left a mark in still trying to erase. I'm not a saint though. In highschool I've gotten big and stron…

Was it called something else? I was born in 99 so my knowledge isn't 100% accurate. I think it was just called the men's right movement. Where I think it was probably a small group of middle age men venting about every day life. Was there misogynistic tendencies floating around in there somewhere? No doubt. Patriarchy still existed back then. Even then redpill in 2013 didn't have the pick-up artist aspect. At the time it was mostly a movement for misogynistic sadists to talk shop on how to abuse…

As someone who was Bullied and abused verbally by girls in their youth. Sometimes girls can just be....... fucking mean. Just because they can. One time in middle school I had a whole tray of food thrown at my chest, because I said " excuse me" trying to get through the lunch crowd. Why did they do that? Because I was being bullied, and for the simple fact that they can. I feel embarrassed even when talking about what happened to me to my therapist.

It really isn't a lot just up and about. A lot of us are average men and women going about in everyday life. And I personally believe the men and women having trouble with the opposite sex end in more of a tough break. Most of those incel Kats are just in online echo chambers. The extreme ones at least. It's like me trying my hardest to find someone with a serial killer mindset. Are they out there, yeah. But I'm alive. No point in dwelling that I might get killed one day. Just enjoy yourself out…

No doubt it was overkill, but tbh I was young and scared of the future. A lot of teachers thought I wasn't going far in life, or told me individually that I'm not gonna amount to much when I'm older. Yeah I have a skill that I can profit from, but I feel like that's kinda.....it about me. I wish I have a bit more identity, or personality. Currently teaching myself to like stuff outside of making money. At least that's what my therapist instructed me to do.

Being in therapy and talking about this I have a more flushed out answer for this question. Even though I grew up rough, but I was thought to never hit women. In middle school I was bullied a lot by a few of them. I know a part of me got angry that they got away with it, because I can't really defend myself physically plus I wasn't the best with words, or witty. So in highschool I found a lot of videos of women getting called out for their BS. Whether it's from a marriage point, single mother, g…

Well the reason I got in redpill in the first was because I was bullied ( mainly by girls). So everything the redpill was telling me, was already said by my bullies. Redpill just confirmed why I was being bullied ( fat, ugly, dark skin, untouchable, stupid, etc). So with redpill it did help with some aspects of real life. No major social anxiety, work ethic, hard/soft skills, money management. But all the time I was in redpill I was working solely off of anger and resentment. I wanted to prove t…

I'll try and help but I like to say I'm speaking for myself. I got the idea from confirmation bias, and videos to support it. Most teenage boys and young men's life experiences were based around highschool and college. And with only this experience, it seems like there were no such thing as regular/average. It was hard to portray your true self, because it wasn't what was popular or trending at the time. Most times you got bullied or ignored, because you liked something that wasn't in the norm. …

Being completely honest with myself. I wanted Revenge. I wanted answers on why I was treated so badly by other people. Redpill came through, and told me as a 15-19 year old teen the way I was treated was my fault, BUT I had the power to change that and become better.

When I was watching redpill when I was a teenager, I watched a lot of " pull yourself up by the bootstraps" type video. Also a lot of self degrading motivation type vids too. It made me unempathetic to 1- Myself, and 2- Women. So I would argue that this type of content has made me desensitized to women's suffering as a whole.

As a guy who was bullied by women, my teenage self would have taken this quote to heart. Especially if you're trying to find answers. But in the end this is just not true. All this quote is going to do is internalize, make you cold-hearted to a lot of people. Making it easy to sell these " solutions only they have". The solution all of them sell is to work out a lot, only focus on money, and most importantly DTB.

The rise of Andrew Tate was something that was gonna happen sooner or later.
