Fair enough. Will delete. Edited: Saw it when scrolling down through Reddit's 'Popular' tab. shrug

Sorry, the Twitter archive link seems to have been corrupted. Seemed to be working when I'd first archived it. Will try to edit the OP. [To clarify: Know how to edit comments, but seeing no way to edit the original text from the Reddit mobile app?]

Ha! Yes, all true. (Hadn't had any coffee yet when I'd posted that, tbh. shrug)

"Comparison is the thief of joy." -- Theodore Roosevelt Is your competitiveness purely an internal drive, would you say, or might there be some element of seeking external validation?

Branching off from OP's 7th point: Make yourself indispensable. But the corollary here is: Remember that no one is truly indispensable, and plan accordingly.

Ending one's statements with rising tonality is also referred to as "uptalk." Here's a brief piece discussing the phenomenon: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/what-can-jeopardy-tell-us-about-uptalk-180948000/ A particularly interesting passage from that article illustrates BP social psychology (and, unwittingly, reveals a RP truth): Men "use uptalk when correcting women as 'a weird form of chivalry,' he says. 'They’re in a public arena, they’re telling a woman [she’s] wrong, and they kno…

In MMSLP, Athol Kay refers to it as "boo[ing] the villains" in your wife's story, I think.

Had a similar experience when we took my then-four-year-old son to his first live Fourth of July fireworks show a few years ago. At first, he cried and covered his ears, but after 5 or 10 minutes (can't remember, tbh) he uncovered them and started to enjoy it. When the fireworks reached their crescendo, he was laughing and clapping; he didn't want the show to end.

Or, in the alternative, maybe just "Come here," leading into a hug?

That seems to be one of those shitty-comfort tests, which can be difficult. Honestly, knowing my wife, I'd probably respond: e.g., "Of course, I do", and try some light kino (depending on when and where the two of you are, could be as simple as putting your hand on the small of her back.) If she doesn't respond, then just continue about your business. I'm sure that veterans can probably give you a better tactic for dealing with that line though.

"But I screw up every time I speak with my wife." Then STFU. (As an aside, why are you attempting to fog and even "advanced fogging", rather than defaulting to this?) Edited to add: I'm a novice at this stuff too, but have found that not engaging tends to short-circuit at least the duration, if not the frequency, of many arguments when my wife is looking for one.

Look, I'm rather new here too (and mostly lurk), so it's probably unwise for me to reply to OP, but: There's so much cognitive dissonance in your post. You're not going to babysit her but then, in the very next breath, you're demanding emotional support from her? Complaining that she's ungrateful? I've read several (but not all) of the books in the sidebar, and am still working to internalize them fully. I don't pretend to any expertise, but the red-flags here are obvious even to a rank novice l…

As a general rule, in most states, inherited assets belong solely to the one who has inherited them and will not be divided during divorce proceedings; however, there is one caveat: The dollar amount of any subsequent appreciation in the value of those inherited assets during the marriage can, I think, become divisible during divorce proceedings. Disclaimer: Not offering any legal advice here. Would be wise for you to consult with your own lawyer, of course, to learn the applicable laws in your …

Never heard of him or that song, so I've just googled the lyrics. Yeah, def cringe-worthy.

In fairness, OP does have a point: If you listen to the lyrics of love songs that are sung by a man to a woman, so many of them clearly reflect a bluepill, beta-orbiter worldview. Even more interesting, however, are love songs that are sung by a woman to a man, which mostly reflect an alpha-widowed perspective (e.g., Adele's "Someone Like You").

Sure, I understood that from your sentence above re: "quietly lead[ing]." Was just trying to simplify things for the OP, rather than the various, verbose hypothetical responses that he had floated, above, e.g. about his wife being exhausted.

There are so many more (and better, IMO) styles of craft beer than IPAs out there.

Seems that our economist Caplan has somehow forgotten F.A. Hayek's dictum: "The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design."

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," eh? And, to think, that particular line originated in a play written in 1697: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mourning_Bride The idea itself is, of course, far older than that (e.g., the Greek myth of Jason and Medea.) Everything old is new again.

Fair enough. When the word is capitalized like that, does make it seem somewhat like an impersonal bureaucratic job title (e.g., John Steed and Emma Peel's boss from the old 'The Avengers' TV show: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_(The_Avengers))
/r/TheRedPill28/04/17 11:38 AM

As "Mother" in OP's post, above, is the first word in a new sentence, it should properly be capitalized; but I do see the point that you're making.

As an introvert by nature, whenever I meet someone for the first time, there is nothing more off-putting than for them to start talking fast at me. That's an immediate red-flag, and very nearly screams insincerity (although I do recognize, that it could possibly reflect social awkwardness or anxiety on their part, too.) I'd be curious to know, though, how fast-talkers are perceived by the extraverts among us?

That is, without any doubt, one of the best and most useful posts that I've read on here. Thanks for sharing the link.

Good question. My son is also seven, but I think that 1) much of the poem's language would go over his head (though, like Drax, his reflexes are too fast ;) ) and 2) he probably won't yet appreciate or retain its message, at least not until he has experienced more of life for himself. I might try introducing it to my own son in another two or three years shrug

Not sure if trolling or just naive, but the unrequited love of Oneitis is never a bold move. See also: "Well, hey, I didn't spend all those years playing Dungeons and Dragons and not learn a little something about courage."

Yes, indeed. Even twenty-some years ago, as an English major, Kipling was disfavored for his, shall we say, unapologetically imperialist worldview (though his poems were still taught, of course, at least back then . . .) Another favorite, which inspired my username here on Reddit, is the harsh truths presented in 'The Gods of the Copybook Headings': http://www.johnderbyshire.com/Readings/gods.html

I gave up Twitter during Lent, and have found not only that I don't miss it, but also that I've enjoyed being unplugged from following current events. For me, it's merely reinforced that I need to focus on myself and my family, before anything else right now.

Once upon a time, Marvel did this. Case in point: The character Northstar, a mutant, from Alpha Flight, who came out as gay twenty-five years ago (1992). What made him so interesting though was the backstory. The character was, by any objective standard, an egotistical jerk, who was a dick to everyone. Moreover, before becoming a (reluctant) superhero, he had once used his super-speed to cheat in downhill skiing at the Olympics, and was stripped of his gold medal. If memory serves, he joined Alp…

True, but the comic book storylines that are now being translated to the big screen -- and succeeding wildly at the box office, were all written 10, 20, 30 years ago or more. In other words, long before the current crop of SJW writers entered employment (was going to say "infested," but that might be too unkind a term) with Marvel. If Disney/Marvel is smart, they'll continue to mine the back issues for engaging storylines, because many (if not most) fans aren't exactly excited by what's being wr…

Yes, that's been my experience as well. I'm a fairly extreme introvert, whereas my 7-year-old son couldn't be any more extraverted. So much so that, at times, it can be difficult for me to relate to him. (That said, I'm generally very good at reading people's intentions/behavior, my son included.)

So much this. If someone doesn't respect your property rights (e.g., taking and/or breaking your stuff), then they won't respect you either.
