| 1 | Living with a ChadI have a friend like this. Too many stories like this to write, but here's one: Chad's visiting a friend in another state for the weekend. Chad's in a relationship and isn't looking to pull, but his friend is single. They go out on Friday and towards the end of the night, Chad approaches a group of two hot girls looking to wing his friend. The hotter girl Chad is trying to set his friend up with likes them both so much she wants to hang out with them the entire weekend. So they do. Chad's friend… | /r/TheRedPill | 27/02/17 02:21 PM |
| 1 | How To Become ExtrovertedExtroversion is one of the Big Five personality traits that is subject to a lot of research in psychology. In adulthood, these traits are stable over time. You don't "become" extroverted. You are already somewhere on the introvert/extrovert continuum and that place is not going to change very much at all on an individual level. These tricks will at best help bring out the extroverted side of an unknowingly natural extrovert. | /r/TheRedPill | 03/02/17 02:12 PM |
| 4 | Men Who Support Women Earn No Respect/u/Tako_400 is correct here in that opposition to Trump is much broader than Trump offending women's sensibilities and is largely based on his policies. However, Jan 21 was the Women's March on Washington. This was probably a march that was going to happen anyway because groups always lobby for themselves. Trump being an offensive guy just made it really easy rallying point so it was a duel womens' rights march and anti-Trump protest. | /r/TheRedPill | 23/01/17 02:22 AM |

| 1 | What is the single most arousing thing to a woman? (competition)whatever she's lacking at the moment will probably get her going. A stud can be cucked by a nerd. It's just different. That's a really good point. Sometimes girls actually seek out betas to play "stable, boring relationship" for like a month. It's not very different or less disturbing than Mary Antoinette's "Peasantville", a fake village in her chateau she could play poor farmer at for like an hour and go back to her extravagant royal lifestyle.

| 2 | What is the single most arousing thing to a woman? (competition)Ok... this actually explains a lot. I was pretty confused why a comment that has a lot of backing in research would be so polarizing. Hearing that downvoters weren't assessing factual accuracy but simply didn't feel good reading the content makes a lot more sense. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/01/17 10:42 AM |
| 0 | What is the single most arousing thing to a woman? (competition)That's really interesting. Obviously dominance is attractive, and I've noticed that aggressive displays of dominance even more so. I didn't play sports and I'm pretty hard to piss off, so I didn't have many experiences with aggression w/o dominance. Thinking about it, playing contact sports is a really good model to see the effects of aggression without dominance (e.g. you play aggressively but not necessarily well for some games). Thanks for sharing. | /r/TheRedPill | 15/01/17 10:16 AM |

I don't get why aggression and anger are arousing to some women, but I've had some of my best results when extremely pissed off and having it show in my body language and voice. Like you said, women literally get turned on when seeing that. In comparison, I've never turned a woman on by being laid-back. If anything, being laid back for too long turns them off.

| 1 | My preferred pronoun is 'Master'^ Very good point. This is a good lesson for anyone who isn't knowledgeable about chronic, debilitation diseases/syndromes, especially the invisible ones. If you say something retarded, truly retarded, like unequivocally saying fibromyalgia is fabricated, it is forever going to affect how I view your intelligence, knowledge of medicine, and ability to understand complex issues. I'm not saying you have to "defend" fibro here. The etiology is not understood, and no treatment exists. We know very l… | /r/TheRedPill | 26/12/16 12:33 AM |
| 0 | My preferred pronoun is 'Master'/u/Triadis3 you are missing the point. The link was posted as a counterpoint your comment that fibro was made up. The international medical community agrees that there is a distinct kind of pain syndrome with certain clusters of symptoms, and they are calling it fibromyalgia. If you are familiar with medicine, and I don't think you are, virtually all diseases and syndromes have descriptions that are vague like this. It's because individual pathologies have multiple symptoms, which can be felt to… | /r/TheRedPill | 26/12/16 12:10 AM |

| 0 | My preferred pronoun is 'Master'It is a diagnosis of exclusion because we do not yet know enough about the etiology to develop tests to detect it directly. Doesn't mean it's not real. Quick example: male hair loss. We don't know the exact biochemical mechanism that causes this. Knowing that DHT is related is not enough. We know the symptoms are hair loss, but we have no way of predicting who will get it, and how it will progress. No cure, either. Point being that medicine is in a very early stage, even in 2016.

| -1 | My preferred pronoun is 'Master'In the medical field, it's called "diagnosis of exclusion". There is no direct test for fibromyalgia so clinicians will try to rule out every other cause that can be directly detected, sometimes including genetic testing. What separates fibromyalgia from an even more general label like chronic pain syndrome is that there are very specific symptoms that are seen in certain cases of pain syndromes. While there is a stupid amount of variation in fibromyalgia (largely because we don't know enough ab… | /r/TheRedPill | 25/12/16 10:49 PM |

| 2 | Dieting is important even if you are not fati think it comes down to a conflict in the two main focuses of RP: male sexual strategy and general self-improvement. the strategy advocated by the community towards both ends is to adopt an alpha mentality. to some, being alpha isn't a means to an end but an end in and of itself. if you view alpha mentality as a tool, then looking your best is just one more tool. if alpha mentality is an identity to you, then looking your best is a perversion of that identity if you're not doing it for you. | /r/TheRedPill | 23/12/16 01:53 PM |
| 9 | Dieting is important even if you are not fatI agree with your general point, but here I am emphasizing visibility. I think we might live in different climates. If you're in a climate where people wear shorts or thin fabrics frequently, lower leg musculature will matter more than one where everybody is wearing long pants and thick fabrics. It doesn't mean you should skip leg day in colder climates. Also, I am not giving advice on how to tailor your exercise routine. | /r/TheRedPill | 20/12/16 05:43 PM |

| 1 | Looks obsessionThe unspoken secret of TRP is that improvement in SMV from behavioral changes is directly proportionate to your physical attractiveness. For a percentage of men, I'm guessing 10-20%, their natural physical appearance (even with low body fat & muscle & grooming) is going to severely limit them. You can still get laid with RP, but you may resent the effort required and quality of women accessible to you. Some of us are just doomed to not get a hole to stick your penis in without paying money. Only… | /r/TheRedPill | 20/12/16 02:08 PM |
| 1 | Looks obsessionHow do you get over having poor looks? Blue pill solution: accept yourself, ignoring the socioeconomic effects of physical attractiveness. Red pill solution: maximize your looks by lifting, losing weight, grooming well, and dressing well, then stop focusing on it since there is nothing more that (seemingly) can be done. My solution: rule out psychiatric conditions. follow RP advice. then, if you really, really, want it, there are ways in 2016 to increase your physical appearance beyond your natu… | /r/TheRedPill | 20/12/16 01:41 PM |
| 1 | Why are women so bad at explaining what attracts them?Now I think I may have even found the answer, thanks to the red pill, as to what really attracts. Keep in mind that RP focuses on the behavioral aspect of attraction, since it's the influencer most under our control. RP is not a good place to learn how influential a given dimension (e.g. physical attractiveness) is in overall attraction. Women are bad at explaining what attracts them because there is a general lack of self-awareness and an aversion to negativity. People generally shy away from f… | /r/askTRP | 19/12/16 05:15 AM |

Honestly, you need to elaborate more on this. I can't give you insight without understanding the problem. Unless you give more info, just read the TRP sidebar. Sadly, it appears lifting might be out of the question. Ok... I think you might be missing the point. You need to be as physically attractive as you possibly can be.

You made a post about losing your virginity, presumably to your LTR. I think you're pretty young and lack the experience to recognize all the other factors at play here. And why the fuck is this person part of your social circles? Why is your GF talking to him?

| 1 | Is getting heartbroken considered bluepill?Blue pill is about a set of behaviors, not individual circumstances, and it's highly contextual. These behaviors are generally associated with poorer quality sexual and romantic relationships. Circumstances that happen to you is not what defines blue pill. It's how you behave in response to them. | /r/askTRP | 19/12/16 04:02 AM |
| 2 | Why do women get angry, spiteful and bitter when I don't want to be more than friends?Because that is the basis of your value to them. All personal relationships are transactional, and they sometimes form as an investment on a prospective transaction (e.g. sex). When these women are rejected, they're bitter about not getting something they became emotionally invested in. Same thing happens for guys who develop feelings for their female friends. just looking for the reason it happens frequently Probably because you're very physically attractive. | /r/askTRP | 19/12/16 03:58 AM |
| 3 | What are your takes on Models by Mark Manson and How to be 3% man by Corey Wayne?tldr; both give good advice, but that advice is contextual. Be vulnerable (authentic/human) within reason. Keep the details of your personal life a mystery because mysteriousness is enticing. Keep conversations positive because good vibes are fun. Sometimes you need to strike a balance between authenticity and mystery/good vibes. Haven't read Wayne, but I've read Manson. Manson means authenticity when he says vulnerability.

If you want to "reward" her, then do so right after she's done something you like, not as a general way of behaving around her when she's making you happy.

| 1 | How a RP man should decide on his morals? Should he kill people?So TRP and morals are contradictory it seems. TRP is about male sexual strategy and general self-improvement. It is not a religion or an identity or a guide on how you should live your life. Having a moral code would have no functional purpose. Moral codes are adopted by groups or organizations that are trying to promote public relations or in-group cohesion (e.g. sense of purpose or higher meaning in group membership) or regulate behavior that does not benefit them.

| 2 | Noobie thought he swallowed The Red Pill, BP behaviors struck back. Fantasy, ONEitis, Life Purpose.How do you get past the whole struggle of letting go of the girls you really want and just go get girls that are attracted to you instead? By never getting attached in the first place. Maybe you should make anime a less important part of your life. It seems like anime is so important to you that it's part of your identity, which is why you may feel so dissatisfied with the concept of dating a girl who doesn't share that with you. | /r/TheRedPill | 19/12/16 12:40 AM |

Women and men aren't lying here. They just lack self-awareness of how they really behave and respond to things.

| 1 | Why cosmetic surgery remains controversial in the red pillFor context, I agree with your points. I've seen many, many women in their early to mid twenties who just look off. Out of curiosity, which features are you referring to? Personally I have not met any women in that demographic that had cosmetic surgery I could recognize. The only exception to this would be breast augmentation, but that's not something you can recognize as surgical under clothes. | /r/TheRedPill | 02/12/16 10:59 AM |

The things I've learned from the stupid amount of research that went into this and the experiences I've had with surgeons... it's just not something that is anywhere on RP. It's my motivation for talking about these things. So if you are trusting the surgeon to be nice to you and tell you that you won't look as good as you think, don't.

| 2 | Why cosmetic surgery remains controversial in the red pillHave you seen some of the women who get it? It's very, very obvious in many cases. Confirmation bias, dude. You're not seeing the vast majority of cosmetic procedures because the outcomes are identical to features that you could be born with. Go look up some of those Real Housewives (all of whom can afford good surgeons). They all look like plastic.

| 1 | Why cosmetic surgery remains controversial in the red pillWe've all seen those celebrities who get plastic surgery and who not only look worse but also very noticeably deformed afterwards. They know what they're doing, and the surgeons are telling them that they can do what they're asking for but it will likely look unnatural. This may surprise you, but some patients are deliberately asking for a specific unnatural look for personal reasons. Then the aesthetic results make it to Buzzfeed under assumption that the procedures were botched. | /r/TheRedPill | 01/12/16 07:10 AM |
| 2 | Why cosmetic surgery remains controversial in the red pillJust watch "Botched" on E! Network to see the lengths that both men and women will go through to artificially raise their SMV. Botched is a show about BDD dressed up as a show about cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery disproportionately attracts people with BDD who are, unfortunately, probably never going to be satisfied with their appearance no longer how they look. In all likelihood, Botched is more-or-less making money off of the sensationalism of people with a tragic psychiatric disorder and … | /r/TheRedPill | 01/12/16 06:47 AM |

Usually when a guy says they don't like women with make-up, they mean that they don't like it when they can notice it.

There are three main reasons I picture cosmetic surgery making sense: [1] You have a significantly unattractive feature or features. In this case cosmetic surgery can remove something that is holding you back. Examples could be an unusually small chin or an unusually shaped nose.

Given your goal of seducing a single woman, so long as you are enjoying the process, I think you did well.

From her reaction, the impression I get is that you two haven't hung out together outside of work. I told her I didn't care, and basically to just get over it. She said "Well I guess it's not a date if I pay for myself... I guess it's okay" I think you passed a shit test, though you're dangerously close to being friend-zoned. She acknowledged your intent and gave you a stupid excuse. You disregarded he… | /r/askTRP | 29/09/16 06:51 AM |
| 2 | LTR wants to go out dancing with her friend. How to handle this?Mate-guarding and expressing discomfort will only make you look beta. If she's looking for an excuse to cheat, mate guarding won't stop her. Focus on being an attractive and interesting guy. It's your SMV that keeps her wanting to continue seeing you. I don't think there is a right answer, but I know the wrong answer would be anything that would decrease your SMV. | /r/askTRP | 29/09/16 06:35 AM |
| 0 | Question about Propecia/FinasterideBecause random internet are medical experts, obviously. This happens all the time, and what I mean by that is that there are always communities of people who claim certain medications had deleterious and persistent effects that have not held up to medical scrutiny. Good examples: general vaccines, lyme vaccine, finasteride. 5AR inhibitors can have temporary sexual side effects in a small percentage of users. There is no evidence which has suggested there are permanent sexual side effects after d… | /r/askTRP | 29/09/16 06:27 AM |
| 1 | Don't know what to say?Funny is not a compliment. Having funny be a part of your identity often means people feel you use humor to get a rise out of them too much, and it comes off as approval seeking. Instead what they mean is that you try to be funny. Regardless of your success rate, that you are trying to be funny is a display of lower social status in their eyes. You need to talk to more people. Meaningless conversation is totally fine. A lot of social conventions are to establish comfort. If you think of communic… | /r/askTRP | 29/09/16 06:14 AM |
| 1 | What to do when she ignores your text?It's true that you're not attractive enough for her to text back, but that only applies to that moment in her life. You do not need to clarify your intent. She gets it. With that said, the guys with the best game I know of are restlessly persistent. They constantly reach out to and invite girls they like to things they're doing, and they keep large networks by leveraging their natural extroversion. They probably text so many girls that they think in terms of response rates and not whether or not… | /r/askTRP | 29/09/16 06:07 AM |
| 1 | How do you deal with rehashing old things after a breakup?"what if things had gone differently?" Then maybe it would have ended differently, but it would have still ended. For girls who are truly attracted to a guy, there are no barriers. It is never truly over when she is still attracted to you. If you break up, you later can get back together. If you stay "friends", then there are always benefits. If there's a fight, then there is always a reconciliation. You never fall out of touch unless you want. A better way to phrase this is "how do you deal wit… | /r/askTRP | 29/09/16 05:55 AM |
| 2 | What does Chad talk about on dates?+1 for Chad doesn't exist. Chad is almost always in the top 1% of SMV in terms of physical attractiveness and, sometimes, social status. Chad's success does not come from his game. It just happens to be that the behaviors that come from abundance mentality are never unattractive (whereas needy behavior is strongly repulsive), and Chad lives in an abundance reality. Chad is a model of success, but he is not a model of how to be successful. | /r/askTRP | 29/09/16 05:48 AM |
| 0 | I find approaching hard and ultimately not worth itYou don't have to get all your women by cold approaches. You could meet women by cultivating your social circle, which has benefits beyond new prospects. If you're attractive you can get professional pictures and do online dating. If you're at least somewhat attractive and making good money you can meet some women on sugaring websites. You could pay for attractive features (i.e. cosmetic procedures), which will decrease her resistance with your increased SMV. The point being that your time is va… | /r/askTRP | 29/09/16 05:38 AM |
| 2 | Moved out of Friend Zone with coworker, need adviceIf a girl wants to fuck a guy she puts him in the fuck-zone, if you will. She will never be "too busy" or "too tired" or have some cute story as to why things can't go further with you. She will openly talk about sexual topics with you and bring them up without prompting. She'll find excuses to hang out with you and will never be busy when you ask. She'll never stop letting you escalate because she feels "guilty". She won't draw arbitrary moral lines like no actual fucking because she's married.… | /r/askTRP | 29/09/16 05:24 AM |
| 1 | Girls withdraw after sex: How to plate them?I cannot fathom why anyone would not want to bang me a second (or third) time. Any way for me to rationalize this? Because having sex with you the first time was speculative, and always is. You were attractive enough to audition for sex. After the first time, they know what they're getting and don't seem interested in what you have to offer. You do not need more value or comfort. 95% of whether or not they will want to see you again is how well things went when you last saw them. You are probabl… | /r/askTRP | 28/09/16 02:18 PM |
| 1 | A bit of a rant about women these days. Anyone been in this position?In my fathers time a man going out of his way to do something like this would be seen as a heroic task. You were not alive in your father's time and you are making up dumb bullshit about how you think the world should work. Calling what you did "heroic" is a bit of a stretch. You were singing around a bunch of drunk people. Cool. Anyway, I thought I thought I did a pretty darn good job but those dumb bitches were looking at me like I was some freak after I finished and just walked out on me. The… | /r/askTRP | 28/09/16 02:06 PM |
| 3 | Moved out of Friend Zone with coworker, need adviceOh. My. God. You are putting 10 fucking years of professional reputation on the line over a married coworker who is stringing you along. You are so thirsty and don't even know it. I suspect that doesn't want to fall in love/expect a relationship with me like she did with the other guy It's that she isn't attracted to you like she was with him. She likes the chemistry you two have but she doesn't like you enough to fuck. When you sense she is dying to be fucked, you're probably right, but she's n… | /r/askTRP | 28/09/16 01:59 PM |
| 0 | Need thoughts on this matterAnd obviously not all black men are getting this action, just the ones who are obviously alpha. Exactly. Dick size has nothing to do with this. And neither does ethnicity. It's about being attractive, and often physically attractive. Everything else about a man can be changed except for dick size(without a lot of effort) No. The major aspects of physical attractiveness for men (and women) are virtually unchangeable. The only major ways a man can change his appearance are to reduce body fat and i… | /r/askTRP | 28/09/16 01:48 PM |
| 1 | How is everyone here not a 'Chad'? Do you all realize the irony?Chad is the idealization of an extremely attractive man from a woman's perspective. Chad's qualities are defined in terms of what women seem to respond consistently to on a visceral level. Chad is supposed to be a personification of red pill principles, which ultimately come from an abundance reality. The label 'Chad' is usually given to a man who is unusually successful with women because he is attractive on a visceral level - usually because he is extremely attractive physically - and so much … | /r/askTRP | 27/09/16 08:45 AM |
| 1 | How can I exploit TRP truths while being ugly and 'less skilled'?Be less ugly and become more skilled. You are probably inaccurate about your assessment of your physical appearance. Men are so bad at assessing what physical features are conventionally attractive that I really wouldn't trust the self-assessment from practically anyone but a cosmetic surgeon. You could be significantly more unattractive or significantly more average than you think. Though with that said, differential and poor treatment by women is the canonical sign of being "ugly". The idea th… | /r/askTRP | 27/09/16 08:09 AM |
| 1 | Do girls generally lie about their sexual past?People will bend the truth in ways that benefit them. Female sexual history is heavily stigmatized, so yes, you can expect them to lie in ways that make them look more chaste then they really are. | /r/askTRP | 27/09/16 07:45 AM |
| 2 | Really want to get with this chick, but she wont reciprocateAttraction can't be negotiated. Your post could have been rewritten to say "I really want this chick to be attracted to me, but she isn't attracted to me." If you can recognize that she isn't attracted to you, you can be sure that she knows, and her lack of attraction to you is not coincidental. | /r/askTRP | 27/09/16 07:39 AM |
| 1 | Confront issues like a man? Or hide from them like a power fiend?I will say this as many times as it needs to be said: The red pill is about male sexual strategy. It is not about morality or how the world "should" work or pro-social behavior. That it is not "about" these things does not mean that it is against them. It is decidedly neutral. Alpha is used to describe characteristics and behaviors that strongly correlate with female attraction. When a woman asks how much money you make, it is because she is trying to size you up as a provider. Falling into her … | /r/askTRP | 27/09/16 07:11 AM |
| 1 | plating my Ex (Shit is About to get Real)Honestly you sound like a whiney bitch complaining that she doesn't want to fuck you. The conversation you had with her almost certainly made her cringe. What you did was one of the most beta ways you could portray yourself to another girl. You start by calling out her need for distance (likely her sensing something weird from you). When she responds by telling you she isn't particularly attracted to you, you start by trying to "explain" with a thinly-veiled passive-aggressive tone. Then out of … | /r/askTRP | 27/09/16 06:54 AM |
| 1 | Things seem to be going well with a girl I've gone on a few dates with, but she's still active on okcupid many times a day...Consider this your short lesson in female hypergamy. No matter how well things you think things are going with a girl, she will almost always be looking for something better. In this case, you have a glimpse of that by seeing her online dating account activity. Though it's important to note that it's fair to assume this even when you can't see it. You aren't going to see her going out to bars with her friends the night after your date talking with new and interesting men, or the many other guys … | /r/askTRP | 27/09/16 06:28 AM |
| 2 | I kicked my fwb out for bad sex. It has been four days now. Should I say sorry or nah?Women do this all the time. | /r/askTRP | 27/09/16 06:16 AM |
| 2 | Bold or a Jerk?She wasted your time. She knew what she was doing, and she did it anyway, because she does not respect you. She is also not attracted enough to you to pretend that she cares about you and not the tingles and validation male attention provides her. Unfortunately there is nothing constructive you can do. If you tolerate her behavior it will repeat. If you call her out on her shitty behavior, it will still repeat, but she will become increasingly resentful as this repeats because you are bringing n… | /r/askTRP | 27/09/16 06:14 AM |
| 2 | Doesn't make senseGirls are attracted to social status on a visceral level. Preselection is absolutely why your value has increased, and it's because of the sexual market value of your girlfriend and that she is selecting you as an exclusive dating partner at this moment. When you are no longer dating your girlfriend, you lose the preselection and your social status lowers to what it was before, decreasing your attractiveness. | /r/askTRP | 26/09/16 11:56 AM |
| 1 | Should you be a beta at work ?The red pill is primarily about male sexual strategy. Alpha traits are synonymous with dominance and social standing, which are often discussed on the red pill because women find those traits extremely attractive. But thriving in a corporate culture is requires being useful, well-liked by the right people, and social inclusion, probably among other things. It also requires that you are not too polarizing and that you do not offend others. So my initial impression is no, you should not apply the … | /r/askTRP | 26/09/16 11:51 AM |
| 10 | Why do women hate when you're improving ?A common theme when guys improve their lives in a noticeable way is that there is friction with their existing peer groups and communities. It's the mentality "I want the people around me to be more successful, but not more successful than me." It's also called crab bucket mentality, which comes from how crabs in a bucket will constantly be trying to climb over each other resulting in no crabs escaping. This phenomenon is true even when it doesn't relate to dating and doesn't happen with just wo… | /r/askTRP | 26/09/16 11:29 AM |
| 4 | why do women become more attracted to you when you stop trying to attract them aka stop giving a fuck?Being invested in a woman's opinion of you lowers her perceived value of you. Women are typically attracted to social status, which at the very least needs to be higher than hers. Being invested in her activates parts of her brain that are also active when she feels your social status is less than hers. It's a very primal way the brain has of assessing status. People with more status than you aren't invested in your opinion of them. Though with that said, if by not giving any fucks she becomes a… | /r/askTRP | 26/09/16 11:22 AM |
| 1 | Getting sex vs pride/dignityYour initial response was very similar to how RP detractors sometimes respond for two reasons: The first reason is that the question Are you just being dramatic? is more often used as a rhetorical question meant to be an ad hominem attack than an honest question. I am not being dramatic. Both men and women pair off with the best they can get in the dating market. We are all, on some level, settling for our sexual partners. Women are especially well known for their readiness to discard their curr… | /r/askTRP | 26/09/16 11:14 AM |
| 1 | Getting sex vs pride/dignityIt is generally true, though it is so unlikely that that your value to a girl you are seeing trumps that of any other man she's been with or wanted to be with that it doesn't add value to discuss this as a realistic possibility. You're not just competing against just her exs. You're also competing against every guy she wished she could have but wouldn't have her as an ex. You're also competing against idealizations of these people and the novelty that comes with being with someone new. I think y… | /r/askTRP | 26/09/16 12:36 AM |
| 4 | The red pill claims that things can get better in the dating game for men as they get older if they invest in themselves. Can this also apply to social life and making friends?Having an interesting social life and making friends does not require nearly the self-investment that is required to be good with women. There is nothing inherent with age that makes having a social life or making friends easier as you age. Your past does not influence your social life going forward unless are forced to live and socialize in narrow circles where reputation follows you. Things don't magically get better. Either you get better, or you get the same results. I think you need to figu… | /r/askTRP | 26/09/16 12:21 AM |
| 2 | Having oneitis for first time in 2 years. (i thought i was done with this)No man is oneitis-immune. The best model I know of for the post-breakup period is SSRI/SNRI discontinuation syndrome. Basically stopping an anti-depressant cold-turkey. That void you feel is literally some truly fucked brain chemistry that takes several weeks to months to normalize. | /r/askTRP | 25/09/16 07:02 PM |
| 2 | Getting sex vs pride/dignityThere's a mantra on TRP that reads "she's never yours. It's just your turn." She's obviously not relationship material for you, though I don't see the issue if you weren't interested in a relationship anyway. I don't think your reaction was completely unreasonable, but I don't think your ego is doing you any favors here either. Your new girl probably has her own Chad that she is secretly hoping to get. Don't compromise your principles, but recognize that every girl has that one guy, who, if he c… | /r/askTRP | 25/09/16 06:52 PM |
