1	Taking a leap and changing careers need advice im afraid If you are in trades then you have seen it time and time again, and experienced it yourself: when you set out to learn a new skill, you fuck up. This is to be expected because is it the normal process of learning things. Where successful people differentiate themselves is not getting psyched out and buckling down to try again. If you have a learning disability or just don't do well on theory, then expect a few snags. Apportion more time to your studying. Allow for setbacks. Studying itself is a …	/r/askTRP	27/12/15 03:27 AM
6	Fitness questions First of all, stop making excuses about not having the time. It serves the double misfortune of lowering your credibility with others and thwarting your desire and attempt to improve. You have the time. Pull out your schedule and mark it down. Second, the fitness sub has some great information on beginners programs. Implement a basic Starting Strength or StrongLifts program like the other guy said. When you reach a point where these no longer suit your needs, you'll have the knowledge and experi…	/r/askTRP	25/12/15 08:44 PM
1	How to handle raging feminist ? Nothing she says or does actually presents a material fuck to you, so do what another poster suggested and practice. Practice your shit test game. Practice your laws of power. Practice winning friends. Practice manipulating. Our natural tendency is to avoid or reject these cunts, but you can actually stand to benefit from them. Right now she is an undergrad who will blow the TA for an A on her lab report, but learning to manipulate her will benefit you when she stands between you and an annual b…	/r/askTRP	25/12/15 08:25 PM
2	Broke up with LTR, now she is jealous/worried I talk to other girls. What is the meaning behind this? She used to get attention from you, but now she doesn't. This is a grave injustice to her.	/r/askTRP	23/12/15 02:12 PM
3	Plate is chronically late to everything; tonight it came to a head You didn't reply. Good. There's absolutely no need to humor her. Putting out that novel is a tactic for trying to justify her anxiety - she is literally saying in couched language, "I am upset by your response, but am not sure how much of a right I have to my feelings, so I want you to confirm or deny them." By ignoring her you deny her feelings legitimacy and retain the frame. Betas always get this wrong because they think reason and explanations will work, when all she wants is validation.

2	Red Pill Swallowers: would you let another swallower date your daughter? What if she were 17 and he 35+? That's one year away from voting and drinking, and she could already be fighting in a combat military role, but heaven forbid she dates a 35 year old? I am raising adults, not perpetual children.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/11/15 03:28 AM
1	Question for RP: What do you think happened in between 200,000 BC and 10,000 BC ancestral times, when most of human psychological evolution took place? Really? Slut-shaming is literally a form of gossip, which forms the backbone of our social cohesion. You're kidding yourself if you think your modern noble savages don't gossip and shame over who is fucking whom. I can't persuade you that pre-historic humans lived radically different than modern day stone-age humans, but since that argument is contingent upon a non-existent knowledge of pre-historic sociology, it would logically, and similarly be impossible for me to persuade you that modern, in…	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/11/15 05:02 PM
3	Girl on OKCupid subreddit keeps telling herself that she's attracted to betas - and then learns that her "perfect, amazing" boyfriend is a RedPiller. It's all a frame game, my friends. The man in question exhibits value and treats her right, but she is so shook by social proof and her own solipsism that she cannot trust her own impressions and judgment, and needs to turn to the internet for the affirmation of strangers. You're witnessing the red pill in action. She literally has no idea how to process basic, simple facts about her interest's actions and character based on what she's heard others says about a socially-constructed boogeyman.

23	Trailer for "The Red Pill" MRA documentary posted on /rvideos. TRP misconceptions abound. This is the interesting takeaway - we're watching an excellent demonstration of how pushing the ends/outliers broadens the middle. Two years ago MRAs were the endpoints of misogynistic shitlords. Now you have posters defending the MRM on a default sub and getting upvoted for it. Think about that for a moment. This is no different than when ladder theory was introduced in the mid-00s and widely derided. Yet a decade later, the word 'friendzone' is used in the popular lexicon with nary a blink of …	/r/TheRedPill	29/10/15 03:31 PM

1	Redpill my break up Men and women are distracted by different things at different times. Sounds like her high over you wore off quickly and she was easily influenced by her parents who may have given her things, pressured her into conforming, bargained a deal, bad-mouthed you, or sold her a better vision of the future that didn't include you. Who knows? There's not always an easy explanation because you're never working with all the information.

1	Idk how to decide on a career/purpose/path Remember that no career is going to provide existential meaning. You've heard the saying, "good, fast, cheap - pick two," right? Well, the vast majority of jobs exhibit a similar trade-off: wage, quality, stability - pick two. Hell, make your own: time, wage, experience. If you want a high quality job and a lot of pay, you need to seek out risky, unstable options (e.g. entrepreneur). If you want a high wage and a stable job, you need to target options that are dirty or dangerous (journeyman trad…	/r/askTRP	22/10/15 04:57 PM
1	Shouldn't TRP be embracing women's advice instead of shunning it? My buddy has a bad-ass truck. According to him, he needs it because it snows a lot here and he needs to haul shit. Conversely, I drive an econobox and have for over a decade. I have not been able to drive due to snow three times over that period. When I need to haul shit, I rent a truck or a uhaul. Hmmm. What the heck? Surely he must need it, no? I mean, he said so, rite? And in fact, at the dealer, the salesman sold him on those very merits: its 4x4, clearance, and increased hauling capacity.

1	"Mass shootings in the United States are on a dramatic rise. And men are almost always to blame." Could the problem be linked to a loss of masculinity in the US? Partially, yes. I put a huge asterisk on that statement. This problem has a number of factors that are causal but not exclusive. Some will feed back on each other and others are entirely emergent. I always wonder what our society would look like if every man had the ability to compete in a meaningful way right from the get-go. I believe the emergence and attraction of video games feeds into this; it's a merit-based competition with little meaningful impact to failure. Some of the most masculine …	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/10/15 03:52 PM
1	RP who pretend not to be RP IRL It's advantageous to keep it hidden. Someday one of you will come across a fit, attractive man who is kind and generous and promotes feminism in the workplace. You are going to appreciate working with him, under him, and will benefit from his professional mentorship. And you will never expect that he is RP. "What, you mean like the Matrix? Love that movie.

A few weeks ago I decided to check out Quantico after seeing an ad. Hot chick, guns, explosions, MURICA - why not? Easily something I can PVR to watch while I cook and eat dinner. Turns out the female lead is a man. Of course, this 5'8" 120-pound woman is a swaggering badass who emotionally and physically dominates the show's male lead, an ex-marine. So what do I do? I know!

1	Are women really that obsessed with men's money? There was an interesting thread in the relationships sub a few days ago where a high-earnings, top 10%-income woman was freaking out that her wealthy fiancé had hidden his income behind trusts. The peanut gallery was resoundingly in her favour, which poses the question, if women are not obsessed about their partners' financial viability, what is with all the angst?	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/10/15 02:10 PM
1	Do you think financial abortion is a realistic solution? It is a solution, but not realistic. Male birth control, public child support, or paternity insurance will happen before financial abortion. Society is just too unwilling to give women responsibility (or make them responsible depending on your frame) for their reproductive choices. Paternal financial support is the 'not going to the club bathroom alone' of reproduction. Women just can't do it without help.	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/10/15 01:58 PM
1	Question to all pills: What do you think about the other branches of the "manosphere"? MRAs: they are employing identity politics and embracing victimhood to push their agenda, and while I am vastly curious to see how that works out, I do not align with them. MGTOW: if my current LTR failed I would probably adopt the term for myself. I align with their principles strongly though not always the justifications of individuals. Omegasphere: human cesspools.	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/10/15 01:52 PM

Anyone who studies it recognizes the debate swirls around three mechanisms with some empirical basis - social, evolutionary, and cognitive - yet the cultural Marxists will only recognize one. If we wanted to lower the incidence of traffic fatalities, we wouldn't focus on vehicle design to the exclusion of roadway design, speed enforcement, or alternate transportation.

6	What do you think of Donald Trump? He is the embodiment of Redpill behavior. Is he a man you respect or would seek to emulate? Trump crystallizes the efficacy and allure of redpill frame, but demonstrates the necessity for it to derive from something real. Granted I haven't been paying too much attention, but my impression from news blurbs is that cracks are starting to appear and it will be interesting to see what mechanism of the fall will come first: him retracting his persona or apologizing.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 05:47 PM
2	Two Archetypes of Man throughout History? The wild man is driven from within; he is selfish/personal, primal, instinctive, realistic/anarchic. The civilized man is driven from without, by a system; he is global/impersonal, principled, reasoned, structured/moderated. The wild man is a positive feedback loop, while the civilized man is a negative feedback loop. The challenge of masculinity is to: harness the wild for constructive, civilized ends express the wild without inducing social disorder limit the civilized to retain the soul	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 05:38 PM
1	The Machiavellian Personality I am willing to concede that you may not have said there was none of our metaphorical shit if that is an important distinction for you to have recognized. My point is that you stated/implied a qualified threshold of cynicism whereby what redpillers believe is not empirically credible but mere projection. In lieu of some metric that can quantify that empirically or conceptually, I reject that construction. what do you mean by this? that red pillers are more diverse in population, or individual be…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 05:26 PM
2	TRP priorities: truth vs. utility Sorry, I initially responded as if you were questioning those who believed AWALT explicitly. Deleted that post since it was irrelevant. Regarding what you actually meant, part of the reason may be what I mentioned above: the more extreme the outliers, the broader the middle. Another reason may stem from its relevance as a precautionary principle, and this ties into your thoughts about utility. We are not concerned about precision because no practical truth (i.e. utility) is lost with imprecise l…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 05:06 PM
1	The Machiavellian Personality I agree that we humans have a range of behaviour and that redpillers and bluepillers exhibit a difference of opinion on the mean. However, this now becomes a matter of quantity as opposed to quality, which I think hurts your argument. How much shit there is in the alleyway is largely irrelevant if the original assertion was that there was none. Whether it is familial, civic, or national, we have unequivocal evidence of social contracts breaking under a range of conditions and it is not projectio…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 04:45 PM
2	TRP priorities: truth vs. utility Some redpillers believe AWALT explicitly, others take the hyperbole stance. So what? The fact remains the language is never going to be policed because it creates a space for redpillers to express themselves. Whether some men are or aren't in on the game doesn't matter to the in-group dynamic because of the means expressed and the ends achieved. For that reason out-group criticism has no potential effect except on an individual level (e.g. redpillers who may visit this sub).	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 04:31 PM

No, they project an empirical tendency of human relations to exhibit itself under certain conditions.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 04:24 PM
6	Feminist loses prominent job from sending out hate speech hashtag, attempts to defend it in MSM with 'white privilege' hamster theory. Pills, particularly BPers and some of PPD, is this statement and behaviour acceptable? If I understand your choppy language correctly, yes, I disagree with hate speech laws. While I accept what classic liberals have long demonstrated regarding the need for certain restrictions on free expression, I do not believe they should extend to hate speech.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 04:21 PM
4	Feminist loses prominent job from sending out hate speech hashtag, attempts to defend it in MSM with 'white privilege' hamster theory. Pills, particularly BPers and some of PPD, is this statement and behaviour acceptable? You're not welcome: read my post again.

1	The Machiavellian Personality Everyone is selfish, but we moderate the tendency to varying degrees depending on how solid we regard the social contract to be. Those who are principled, optimistic, inexperienced, or socially blessed, or who experience abundance will be more inclined to mitigate their selfishness and expect that others will also. But note that while this is true of our relations, it's not comprehensive, and that's the critical piece. It's like putting a photograph of your quaint, picturesque town on a postcard…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 04:10 PM

0	The validity of The Red Pill as an objective science That's a good abstraction of alpha, and it helps illustrate why a skinny man with confidence may be more attractive to women than a powerful man who wilts under pressure. Frame denotes the core component of RP, and that's why I diverge from some RP men in thinking that it applies to life in general and not just sexual strategy.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 02:58 PM

0	The validity of The Red Pill as an objective science The alpha/beta dichotomy can be demonstrated empirically, but we're not talking about pool table mechanics. Human sexuality is founded on an empirical basis - in the sense that that you can observe and test it - but there are so many variables it is difficult to generalize. No one ever controls for the variables. To one woman, a physical brute is alpha. To another, a physically-average man making $140k/yr as an executive is alpha. To another, a poor, portly man commanding a full room with his st…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 02:43 PM
2	Amorality / Self Interest In this simple construction, no - as far as I am concerned that's unethical. In reality, things are much more complex, so I am not sure how you would apply this. I can make a lot of money by selling others' possessions, but that's unethical so I don't, regardless of the law. Conversely, I can make a lot of money on oil stock dividends (well, I could... Still can, depending) but despite an environmentalist complaining about it because of their half-formed morality, it is not unethical. I do many …	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 02:31 PM
1	Would most people agree with TRP if the wording was less harsh? Is a toned down version already somewhat available in the mainstream? Or is it just obvious in the first place? People won't respond well to an explicit RP system no matter how tone-sensitive it is, because the implications are still too raw. A certain measure of powertalk will always be needed. However, that does not stop even the most ardent feminist from agreeing with, or even deriving specific Redpill ideas in certain contexts. I attended a couple of weddings this summer and it's amazing what an inebriated feminist will say in response to the actions of other, not-so-sober women at the venue. Some of …	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/10/15 01:56 PM
1	Anything else than GFTOW? You created your situation and TRP explains how you did it. However, that doesn't mean you need to be punished for it in perpetuity. In some things you do get a second chance, which is why most of us will advocate that you walk away. It's like starting a business and having it fail. You get to walk away. Just learn from it and don't make the same mistakes. So basically... what the fuck is going on with me?

I have a female friend who thrives on this kind of drama and is only too eager to share her data. I just have to sit there and make the appropriate sounds: "oh my god!" "no way!" "really?"

Don't get me wrong there's a lot of gold in there, but because he's trying to logic a girl there's a lot of "meet me halfway here" sentiment in his explanation and she doesn't budge a fucking inch.

3	RP Philosophy: On why MGTOW, MRA, and anti-feminism are ultimately a bullshit waste of time I agree with the assertion that Our Glorious Revolution will never occur, but we should still promote it for the simple fact that outliers broaden the middle. In other words, the more omegas, MRAs, anti-feminists, and MGTOWs there are running around, the more it suits redpill interests. We have more room to differentiate, and do so comfortably. If you want to spin plates, go for it. If LTRs are more your thing, more power to you. I'd argue that if you are using redpill effectively, no one is rea…	/r/TheRedPill	02/10/15 01:50 PM

Later on with Erin Burnett, she had a panel that was clearly discussing Eggman's videos as if he was the shooter. This mean's that an entire audience had motivations ascribed to Mercer that he may not have held. It's fucked up. CNN and every other media outlet who fell for 4chan's prank need to get blasted.

2	some disjointed thoughts on power, attraction, alpha males, and Nice Guys Good thoughts. The take away is to demonstrate power, and then to exercise it in a way that reflects your ultimate goal. For nice guys, or men who don't necessarily want to play the game, make a point of displaying your power right from the first, and then once it has sufficiently been demonstrated, use it in a manner that may be seen as equitable or nice to women/feminists so long as it maintains your interest. But never relinquish it.	/r/TheRedPill	25/09/15 03:33 AM

I say that as a 32 year old man who is utterly bored with modern living. What matters is whether you are getting bullied into one position or another. Your task is to make sure that YOU decide what happens to you. Beyond that, having children really won't impact you in a significant way unless you 'opt in'.

2	Can feminism be categorized as a sexual strategy? Feminism as a sexual strategy... Maybe it the future it can entertain this role, but I think for now it is still emotionally centered in reactionary terms. Some women will flourish under conditions of free sex and numerous partners. For them, feminism will be a positive force. Other women who are more sexually conservative due to religion, culture, sensibility, or libido may see this as an anathema, and I am not sure that feminism provides a good framework for expressing their sexuality.	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/08/15 06:50 PM

I find that the application of dread as generally promoted by TRP to be heavy-handed. That doesn't mean it's not called for in certain contexts (were I in my early 20s playing the field it would probably be very relevant), but it is definitely out of place in my relationship.

0	If gender roles are bad, is culture also bad? Why or why not? How are the two concepts different? They are not, but the source of this tension lies in the fact that the goal of feminism is not what it explicitly claims. We think of feminism as a principled position that places the flourishing of the individual on a safe and equitable environment to be the number one goal. This is framed typically in gender/sex terms, but the obvious extension is to all forms of demographics. Of course, as you point out, this is not what really happens.

1	How do you respond to people who believe gender is a social construct ? I look to the primary research and it seems to suggest there are at least three argued bases to gender ranging from social to cognitive to evolutionary. Anyone who frames this as an either/or debate is not educated in the subject and has done NO reading or research on the topic, so why would I waste my time responding?	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/08/15 05:42 PM
1	Is it okay to be hypocritical when looking for a relationship? You are allowed to be 'hypocritical' in whatever way you want, because it's not actually hypocrisy. Unlike most social phenomenon where specific rules or standards are imposed by the group or some outside authority to smooth relations or eliminate collective action problems, there is no over-arching principle to relationships apart from consent, and thus hypocrisy bears no relevance. Feminism tries to police individual relationships, but fails to realize they have no business being there so long…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/08/15 01:49 PM

3	Is being a Red Piller and a leftist irrational ? Some aspects of 'left'-thinking are incompatible with TRP while others are not. Asking the question betrays a lack of nuanced understanding of political philosophy and its application. I support the modern welfare state on two bases: the liberal notion of rational self-interest, and its empirical demonstration. This differs widely from other leftist notions applied within a social democratic, socialist, or communist context.	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/08/15 01:29 PM

One of the biggest 'ah-has' is that the rise of political correctness, the nanny-state, feminists, SJWs, etc. is actually better categorized as the rise of the 'new Utopians'.

If it's real for you, that's enough. That said, it's still important to recognize at a principled level you are still engaged in the consumptive process, and that if you are not someone who is fulfilled by that (most of us are temporarily, at least), you may want to start turning to more creative or constructive pursuits in your career, family, hobbies, spirituality, etc. I don't think video game…	/r/askTRP	14/08/15 03:32 PM

Sure, TRP developed as a sexual strategy, but countless examples demonstrate that it consists of a core set of principles that extend to every facet of a man's life. In fact, I would argue that expansion is a natural progression that comes with age and experience.

Built into the suggestion to eliminate video games is the assumption that they are taking away from more important things. If you have desires and goals around women, careers, education, fitness, and/or creative projects, then yes, spending four hours a day in front of the TV is blowing your self worth.

Human evolution selects on different criteria, and on the matter of sexual selection culture is going to play a huge role. What other reason did blond hair develop in Northern Europe?

Specialization and merit never 'sucks'; it's why, for example, we entrust educated professionals to make decisions about vaccines instead of stay-at-home-moms who get their medical information from Dr. Oz.
