3	Biggest mistakes men make on dates Here's a fun date idea. Hit up a local pet store, and play with the puppies or kittens. Or visit a pet shelter, and do the same. Most women melt at the sight of baby pets, and she'll have fun with you by association, because you invited her there. You don't have to do much on that date; the animals do your work for you, minus the escalation. Just warn your lady friend not to wear clothes with strings or frills, because they will tug at anything that dangles. It's the "95% of alpha + 5% of beta =…	/r/TheRedPill	09/04/21 05:50 PM
1	Birthday During Covid Forget Zoom! Forget sexy nights at home! They're still poor substitutes for what a celebration should be. Instead, do this: drive to the nearest non-lockdown state, like Florida, Missouri, Wyoming, or South Dakota. Have your celebration there. Pretend you're Bonnie and Clyde on the run from the law, or two 18-year-olds on spring break in Cancun. Sit at a real restaurant table. Dance with another couple you meet. Watch a live band. The illicit feel of doing something "wrong" is a lot sexier than …	/r/RedPillWomen	31/01/21 06:27 PM
1	No Life Without Company I’m in my early 40s and just moved basically across the country for a new job I got after losing my last one due to COVID-19 shutdowns. I’d love to get out and meet some new people here but nothings really happening (sports leagues and other stuff I’d usually join to meet people just aren’t available) due to winter and/or coronavirus, and I find it’s harder than normal to randomly strike up conversations at the grocery store or whatever when everyone is wearing masks and worried about getting si…	/r/TheRedPill	31/01/21 04:54 PM
8	What is the most masculine group? DEFINITELY not terrorists. There's a school of thought that many terrorists became that because of, wait for it... sexual frustration. Islam is the only major religion that allows polygyny (many wives), although the limit is four. So for every Ahmed Thundercock that's fucking multiple wives, you have two to four frustrated beta males. Suddenly, an Islamic terrorist recruiter promises them 70 virgins in heaven, in exchange for suicide-bombing a bunch of infidels. So they go along with it, since t…	/r/TheRedPill	04/11/20 12:00 PM

You fell for the Election Infection hoax: hook, line, and sinker! I'd rather be whatever you accused me of, than shake in my shorts over a silly cold virus. Well, now that Covid has served its purpose (because Biden is leading right now), perhaps the libtards will stop hyping it up.	/r/TheRedPill	04/11/20 01:36 AM

If Biden wins, we'll be wearing masks and social distancing until 2024 at the very least. And kiss the mass gatherings goodbye, because Biden will find a way to make them illegal. Because "muh saaaafety". I could have sworn this was a pro-Trump community. Do you really want a senile Trojan horse for Kamala Harris to win? She was a senator of the worst-run state in America.

2	Respect and how to talk when you’re smarter than him about certain things? For this, there's a simple solution. Let's say your man says something with a blatant factual error, like "the gravity acceleration is 40 ft/s^2". It's actually 32 ft/s^2. You can tell him: "Hmm, I think 40 sounds like too high. I don't recall reading that anywhere." This way, you're expressing an opinion that 40 is wrong, not telling him point-blank he's wrong. This is fine in small, intimate groups. In more public situations, when he says "40 ft/s^2", tell him: "I want to tell you something pr…	/r/RedPillWomen	01/11/20 10:25 PM
1	How To Throw An Underground Halloween Rager It is against government interests to shut down society. You are thinking backwards. Wrong! American Democrats WANT TO kill the economy. First off, they get to blame Trump. Second, a wrecked economy will bring in hordes of new welfare collectors, who will vote Democrat as a thank-you for the free shit the Democrats give them (SNAP, TANF, Section 8, Medicaid). If we let them wreck our economy, it won't be just self-entitled single mothers collecting welfare, it'll be you and me.	/r/TheRedPill	01/11/20 03:01 PM
0	How To Throw An Underground Halloween Rager You're too trusting, that's all I gotta say. I wouldn't put ANYTHING past our Democrats. They WANT TO kill the economy, to have perpetual welfare collectors voting for them. And they use the Covid plandemic to make that happen. American people will get their freedoms back when WE say we will, not when the government arbitrarily decides Covid is gone. We, not the clueless rulers, know what's best for us. It's why we told the British to pound sand back in 1776.	/r/TheRedPill	01/11/20 02:02 PM
1	How To Throw An Underground Halloween Rager Gee, maybe in YOUR world. New Zealand was ranked as the least corrupt country in the world. (Although as a tradeoff, it's obnoxiously liberal.)

2	Don't be yourself. I think "be yourself" is a politically correct, feel-good way of saying "own your shit". That is, if you like something, no matter how weird it is, own it. Don't try to justify it, or worse, don't apologize for it. Embrace it as part of who you are, and act like it's been a part of you your whole life. In other words, be nonchalantly proud of it. (Perhaps "nonchalantly proud" could become a new Red Pill term, like "amused mastery".) For example, let's say you like model railroading, which is a g…	/r/TheRedPill	29/10/20 03:47 AM
3	Don't be yourself. Funny how this topic came up, in relation to TRP's common advice to get therapy. Well, I used to see a therapist when I was a teenager, and she used to tell me all the time to "be myself". Well, my "self" was the reason I ended up in therapy, so even at that young age, awash in Blue Pill-ness, I knew that advice was more false than today's Covid scamdemic. But there was a problem: she was an adult, and I was a minor. Even so, her lies and/or negligence were so shocking, that I felt compelled to …	/r/TheRedPill	28/10/20 03:04 AM
1	Never, Ever try to convince a woman (about contentious issues) "Feel-good policies" is right. I'm grateful I made new conservative friends this year, who don't believe in that feel-good shit, and are happy to socialize like normal people. Women too, which gives me hope. Now, I'm aware that AWALT. But even though their base instincts are the same, their refusal to buy into liberal bullshit is a breath of fresh air.	/r/TheRedPill	27/10/20 03:32 AM
1	Never, Ever try to convince a woman (about contentious issues) But if you ever find yourself in a position where you are arguing, debating, or trying to convince a woman of something, you are wasting your energy... Exactly! Arguing with a woman is like mud-wrestling with a pig. You're wasting your energy, getting messy, and risking injury, but the pig is enjoying it.	/r/TheRedPill	24/10/20 03:03 PM
2	Never, Ever try to convince a woman (about contentious issues) The thing is where she's in your frame and trying to break it, most man will by default defend it by countering it with logic. While there's nothing wrong if you want to win the debate but you're not holding your frame, you are showing her that your authority can be challenged. Just like if you questioned a King, a wise King will ignore you and send you to prison because you challenged his authority. It takes a lot of confidence and courage to do that. That's very true.

To deal with your present & future, get a good male coach. Meh. My belief always was "sometimes it's best to let the sleeping dogs lie", and still is today. It's something me and my therapist butted heads about every session. She wanted me to feel the traumatic emotions all over again, full strength, to "process" them.

Like a Chihuahua that just got penetrated by a Saint Bernard. Yeah, like that visual you just had, but emotionally. Stupid me was afraid to tell her to fuck off.

2	The Baby Trap That's true, but AFBB. Just because an American man in Moldova (or any Eastern European country) is Chad financially, doesn't mean he's Chad sexually. Especially considering that many American men were castrated by American feminism. The local woman will gladly accept fancy dinners and limo rides, and maybe a little bit of starfish sex with a prompt shower afterwards, from John Smith. Then she's meet Viktor Smirnoff for some wild butt stuff later the same night. And another thing: Eastern Europe…	/r/TheRedPill	11/10/20 04:39 PM

So I was old enough to date girls when I still lived there. Well, let me tell you something: Eastern European women are ice queens!

Japanese women expect a lavish lifestyle funded by the salarymen they're married to, while doing little to provide a cozy home and a pleasant marriage.

It's been set up against me, a straight man, for decades by now: "no-fault" (read: man's fault) divorce, feminism, MeToo, false DV charges, the Covid scamdemic, etc. So why should I care about what happens to society after I'm dead?

If it can potentially shoot, you better handle it as if it's live and loaded, no ifs, ands, or buts. Carry with with both hands if it's bigger than a handgun, don't touch the trigger except when firing, pick up and put down slowly, don't drop it under any circumstances, don't try to lift it if it's too heavy for you, point the barrel 45 degrees up o…	/r/TheRedPill	10/10/20 03:43 PM
1	Entering a new organization, community, or being part of a new group. Here are my basic 5 golden tips for you. (Respect, likability, and receiving extras) About gossip... The best thing is not to engage in the first place. If other people are talking about someone, pretend you don't know enough to contribute. Like, "You might be right, but I wasn't there, so I wouldn't know." If the listeners know you were there, you can say: "Yeah, you got a point, but that didn't involve me, so why would I care." The only time when it's mostly OK to gossip is when someone did something really shady, like scam an elderly person. Speaking of which, if you must gos…	/r/TheRedPill	10/10/20 02:46 PM

Let go of control and he might start finding his own way to a healthier diet. Agreed. Just look at how much backlash there is against CDC and its Covid rules. It's specifically because CDC (and Democrats in general) treats American people like children or heathens who need to be taught "how to behave". If they'd only stick to virus research, and let Americans decide their own risk levels (this vi…	/r/RedPillWomen	10/10/20 02:29 PM

Which, combined with what you (the OP) described, is a perfect shitstorm for a splintered, divided society.

2	How to cheer up fiancé when he’s overwhelmed? A candlelit bath for a man, and with music to boot? Not saying he'll hate it, but it sounds like something a woman would enjoy, rather than a man. Men usually prefer a shower or a hot tub, either in a clean brightly-lit room or outside, respectively. Plus, a candlelit bath reminds me of a creepy "Daruma San" spirit ritual; I would not find it relaxing AT ALL.	/r/RedPillWomen	09/10/20 04:45 AM
2	I think my boyfriend eats too ,I am worried for his health what should I do pls? Short answer: Cease and desist when it comes to talking about his diet. Long answer:Stop talking about his diet, and don't bring it up in the future, unless the way he eats is life-threatening. (Which it isn't as of yet.) As opposed to unhealthy or unworthy of your approval. His body, his choice. He's a full-grown man, and he admitted you into his life for a reason: you're adding value to it. So keep doing just that. This means you can be his lover or his mother (or dietitian), but you can't be …	/r/RedPillWomen	09/10/20 04:17 AM
14	How to cheer up fiancé when he’s overwhelmed? Men, by and large, like to present a tough front. The dead-last thing you want to do is force him to open up to you therapy-style. "Helping a man relax" is akin to you seeing him show weakness, at least in many men's minds, which means they won't stand for it. Forcing help can and will backfire harder than a broken car engine. However, it shows excellent thoughtfulness on your part to offer to help. Most likely, he'll say no, but offering is key. So... start by asking: "Is there anything I can d…	/r/RedPillWomen	09/10/20 03:45 AM

Look in groups like Trump supporters, anti-quarantine protests, Back The Blue, etc. Republicans and right-wingers in general don't buy into the Covid hoax for the most part, and are therefore happy to socialize with like-minded people.

3	Do I let her know before cumming in her mouth? Pretty much asked and answered, but... You don't "ask" but "announce". Big difference. Once your balls start clenching, and the jizz is about to surge out of you, say loud enough for her to hear: "I'm cumming!" I'm sure she'll be able to tell from the guttural groans you make, but verbalizing it is better. This way, you asserted what you're doing without being approval-seeking about it, but you're giving her an out if she's too uncomfortable with swallowing.	/r/askTRP	06/09/20 06:50 PM
2	Does Love Only Exist for Alphas? I gotta point out you have a vicious way of viewing women. Im not a white knight, peep my post history, but you have some venom. And you actually say, women who arent related to you cant love you. I dont believe that at all. I will agree men and women perceive love differently, and Light Switch Effect is a thing.

Your fellow servicemen in the military love you (although that's more of a "fraternal" love.) That's it. Humans, as a species, aren't loving; we're predators of each other, not just the cows we farm and the deer we hunt. Most people see a man as basically a resource.

5	Never have sex with anyone you can't trust It's become safer to engage in paid sex---be they streetwalkers or online "escorts"---than to look for "free" sex partners. Solicitation of prostitution is a misdemeanor in most states: that's 3 to 6 months, a good lawyer can plead it down to disorderly conduct, and it's easy to get expunged after several years. Rape, even if false, is a 25-to-life felony, it stays on record for life, and you have to register as a sex offender.

For instance, MGTOW Man is acting a little too touchy-feely with Simp Man. So... Simp Man's callout box could say "I want to rescue her from the abusive jerks she's been with." MGTOW Man could have a callout box saying "Don't do it, Simp; Chad Thundercock just fucked her, and she's pregnant."

Today's feminist society lets women keep having their alpha fucks free of consequences, like the looters in American cities ransacking stores with zero risk of prosecution. They can ride the cock carousel, and post virtue-signaling memes while they're at it.

Partially, to make up for lost time, and partially to even the score for women riding the cock carousel. But once he hits a certain age, which is different for every man, sex becomes a cost/benefit issue. So if fucking a particular woman becomes more trouble than it's worth, including the consequences afterwards, a man will simply turn it down. Even more so, oft…	/r/askTRP	08/08/20 04:03 AM

I can assure you, the same woman who tells you she's practicing social distancing is sitting on Chad's dick a few hours later. Without a mask!

They're the ones who aren't afraid, and would be happy to socialize with you, since everybody and their brother are hiding at home, being good little liberals.

What happened in your mind when a woman showed interest in you? Even when she wasn't all that attractive and you knew little to nothing about her. Did her interest intrigue you, at least a little? Unless she was far below your league, did you entertain the idea of dating her? Or maybe even then, if your desperation got the best of you. Same with acting interested in people.

It was on the rough side, but people stayed close to its PUA roots: learning to attract women, understanding female sexual instincts, and leveraging society in your favor.
