I will say that areas with more poverty/lower pay tend to have more of these patterns, but I really feel it’s to do with modeling when you’re a kid. There are a LOT of bad parents out there. It hamstrings so many kids when it comes to relationships :(

Have you SEEN the kinds of men a huge portion of women date and get utterly obsessed with? Dude, we sure ain’t in it for the money with most of them! Not even in it for the looks, either, it often seems like. If women were solely motivated by self interest, my God would most relationships look different. Could honestly say the same for plenty of men dating women who are straight up a**holes to them or bums. We all make totally ridiculous choices when love/romance gets involved!

Her behavior sounds bizarre from this description...but with such a sensitive topic at hand, I'd hesitate to put the full blame on her. I honestly don't know, since you gave no usable context. The only explanations I can think of for her reaction are: You did something without her consent, ie went for the "wrong hole," removed the condom, smacked her (on the ass or wherever), pulled her hair, moved her into a different position, etc without her permission You farted (loudly) or something??

As with any ideology based on an authoritarian/us vs them paradigm, any time you let redpillers into a space it will be taken over. It’s like letting fascists in to a democratic space; the two are inherently incompatible because the former depends on total control and blocking out any opposing voices. For all their emphasis on being “clearly correct” and “obvious,” all of these types of movements are actually super fragile. If they weren’t, letting in other voices wouldn’t be such an issue for t…

Breaking down the science of attraction is all well and good, and there are a number of general conclusions one can draw about the way most people experience attraction…but at the end of the day, that experience is intuitive. I’m willing to bet that the majority of us experience attraction as a dynamic, involuntary thing. We can try to break it down after we’ve felt it or in a conceptual way, but it often ends up surprising us/going against those conclusions the next time we experience it. It’s …

YOU are misrepresenting my analysis, whether intentionally or because of a genuine misunderstanding. I will assume it is the latter option. We do not judge risk based on optimism. It does not matter that a human man is more likely to show empathy toward a fellow human being -- he is also more likely to attack and harm another human being than a bear is (there have been approximately 180 fatal bear attacks in North America since 1784; in 2019 alone, 1,392 people were murdered by strangers, and ov…

Humans are a social species, and we are wired to care about others' opinions of us. This is natural -- being generally liked/respected was (and in some ways, arguably still is) a matter of survival. I think you are making wonderful progress toward the life and mindset you want. It isn't a linear process, so of course, you'll struggle to find that balance between accepting that you care and internalizing EVERYTHING people think of or say about you!

Bears are predictable compared to men. That's literally it -- that is the core "issue" behind most women's choice in this hypothetical. We are choosing between a comparatively dumb, generally predictable predator in its natural environment and a much more intelligent, completely unpredictable (potential) predator in an isolated place. If I stay away from the bear, if I make noise or play dead in response to the bear, if I do not carry food to attract the bear...the bear is going to behave in a w…

I think many of us like to believe we can sense it right away, and in some instances we DO spot it…but that’s also way too optimistic. I’m very much a feminist and a diehard egalitarian, I’ve had dating experience with both sexes & read all the literature — but I still can’t say I truly “smell” misogyny like that. It almost always takes me by surprise when some guy I know or work with drops a misogyny deuce right into our interaction, lmao. Can people sense something is “off” about virulent sexi…

Do men looking for one night stands do a deep dive on the personality of a prospective lay? Same thing is probably happening here. Those men might be partying more, approaching more women, etc, so naturally they’ll encounter others looking for the same thing more often. If they can pull off surface level charm, well, that’s all a casual/one night partner is ever going to see, anyway. There are also women with low self esteem or who are, themselves, misogynistic, so they may know about the sexism…

It’s simple: you apparently view sex as something to be gotten from/out of someone (commodity) instead of a relational act between two equals. Viewing personal interactions as transactional is unhealthy and arguably unnatural. Not only does it devalue others you may interact with, but it’s also incredibly isolating for you, OP. It leads to dissatisfaction, loneliness, isolation, and a vicious cycle of resentment/frustration that feeds on itself. There’s nothing wrong with wanting sex, and I hope…

This mindset is not normal, healthy, or attractive. This view of women is ugly and disgusting. We can usually sense when a man is not viewing us as a person.

And how has that worked out for you? Has it gotten YOU laid a lot? Because I highly doubt it lmao. Don’t be a pushover, but don’t be a douchebag. There is a LOT of middle ground, here. Removing empathy is. It only unnatural and unhealthy, but it also 100% will not result in sex. Unless you’re a sex offender?? Seriously, guys, use your heads! (No not that one 😂)

Based on your comments, you seem to want to blame your height alone for why you aren’t having sex or engaging in relationships. When women answer your question honestly you say they’re lying. You lack the ability to be rational and unbiased in this situation. I suggest you work on that before you seek answers - they won’t do you any good as it is. You can develop a safe space and have that right. You deserve to feel safe, respected, and heard. But coming into a space under false pretenses and de…

I don’t see why it’s bad to admit that women have it way easier when they want sex or a relationship. Does that mean we have it easier in other areas? Nope. Does that mean we are safer, treated better, etc? Nooope. Does that mean we aren’t abused, degraded, and gaslighted when we bring it up? Nope! WHEN a woman wants to have sex, and WHEN a woman simply wants to get into a relationship, yes - it’s easier by far for us to do so.

I think he’s conflating “men aren’t ENTITLED to love or sex” with “you don’t deserve it.” Vastly different statements, so if true he’s engaged in a complete logical fallacy.

I think your issue is tied to a mindset of men VERSUS women, not your personal beliefs. Ask yourself this: is it possible to have meaningful interactions (as in mentally/emotively fulfilling, not just touchy-feely) with someone you consciously or subconsciously view as a competitor/rival/opposing force? If you view women and men as having generally opposite interests, experiences, and perspectives, are you going to be able to have unbiased and authentic interactions with women? Also, you seem to…

When my mom was young, women literally could not open a credit card without having their husband approve the act in writing. Women could not independently establish credit.

If we’re talking about EQ and general measures of emotional intelligence, collaborative capabilities, and empathy…women already are better people on average. Usually men’s improvement (as far as them becoming happier, healthier people) happens naturally when they develop these social adaptations. Honestly, if more men focused a bit less on themselves as concepts/objects in the dating arena and tried to be happier people overall, things would improve for everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yep, and as women gain more and more in all areas of social life, these men deepen their cognitive dissonance as a form of denial. Nothing makes me more irate than someone who is in constant denial.

The thing that gets me is how many men complain about losing hair…but won’t do ANYTHING to address it.

Okay, so if it’s not empowerment, he can call it something else? But we’re going to do things that feel good. It’s just that, you know, decent people have empathy and if we take actions that hurt someone we care about or who deserves consideration…it DOESN’T FEEL GOOD.

This is so f***ing frustrating.

No problem! And one more thing on the topic of women, most of the time we can’t tell whether or not a dude is a virgin during The Deed. Plenty of non-virgins are quick to the draw or clumsy, after all. If he’s making effort to please us before and after using other skills, and if he’s making us feel sexy/beautiful, or he’s up for another round or two after the first?

I’m going to tell you this from experience, as a woman who has had several virgin partners when I myself was not: we don’t care if you’re inexperienced if we are looking for more than sex with you. It’s a bit nerve wracking for US because we want to make it special and not disappoint expectations, but I promise: you don’t need to feel like it’s a problem for you to be a virgin.

I wouldn’t equate or reduce friendship to specific hobbies or games, my dude. That’s sad if it’s all you gain from your friends…friendship is deeper than that, and often involves comfort.

As a woman, it’s pretty much just as frustrating to be “relationship-zoned” as “sex-zoned,” in mind opinion. If you don’t want friendship but instead want something else, but you don’t express it or get upset and resentful when she doesn’t return the sentiment, that’s annoying.

Those who inherently view society and life as hypercompetitive skew authoritarian in their values and mindsets, and tend to sink further into that trend as they age (The Authoritarian Personality is a wonderful exploration of this phenomenon).

I sort of feel like we’ve all gotten hornier on average, or it’s just a symptom of general unease/restless dissatisfaction.

Why does lust equate to women holding power over you? Lust is a sensation, a feeling. A strong one, sometimes VERY strong, but it’s not as if you become some sort of mindless robot the moment a breast shows up.

That was my initial thought but I know autism isn’t the only cognitive difference that impacts someone’s comfort level with social nuance. Regardless it isn’t women’s or neurotypical men’s jobs to assume everyone they talk to may have autism. That level of explanation and detail would be absolutely exhausting for a non-autistic person if it were expected at all times. That may not be “fair” in a universal sense, but what is? That’s the reality.

It would seem that the issue is more “who they say they are attracted to does not match up to my INTERPRETATION/ASSUMPTIONS about who they choose to fuck.” People define “nice” differently just as they define things like attractive, “asshole,” successful, etc differently. We are all living within subjective realities when it comes to dating and other social behaviors. Those who have been properly socialized/don’t have developmental issues are naturally able to navigate this nuance due to the inh…

The term “nice” is subjective and therefore individuals will not agree on what they consider important within that category. I feel that this assumed lack of nuance is what holds many men on this sub back in dating and sex. They assume women, if not a monolith (which many on here DO seem to assume), are at least all somehow in agreement over how subjective standards and preferences ought to play out. That is not realistic from a sociobiological standpoint as all people(s) will vary considerably …

Let me try to put this into very linear terms. We desire looks, economic stability (aka employed and functional men), and social skills (status). We ALSO - at the same time, mind you - desire “deeper” qualities. Simultaneously. At once. These things are not exclusive. Wild, I know, but people can actually want a spectrum of qualities in their partners ALL AT ONCE 🤯

Idk if you saw my earlier comments but I literally posted this on PPD just to prove a point and blow the cover off of how MANY men have this mentality and, apparently, will openly defend it even when the entire premise is factually illogical.

Oh actually I meant The Victim - it’s what Lundy called that particular form of abusive mentality (the women rule the world but are also weak fallacy).

It’s not used to support valid debates about black oppression. It’s used to support interventions and elucidate systemic injustice. I would argue that there’s a big difference there. When we argue against racial oppression we aren’t justifying crime or cruelty, we are calling out poverty, harmful social norms, and systemic hurdles. Men have indisputably and for thousands of years occupied the highest rungs of human social hierarchies. Oppression isn’t the issue they are facing. The issues men ar…

Abusers telling on themselves is a powerful thing, and I’m really glad you and others are sharing your experiences when it happens.

Actually Bancroft addresses this throughout the book - most abusers who end up in jail or rehabilitation programs (not criminally charged in many cases) are not mentally ill when clinically evaluated. It’s not their feelings or impulses that lead them to abuse, it’s their beliefs and value systems.

I can see where you’re coming from, but power is very relative and therefore one person can occupy many different places in a multitude of hierarchies. A woman CEO can still be threatened and beaten by her lower earning husband at home. A man CEO can still be threatened with being isolated from his kids by his stay at home wife. Power imbalances happen on so many levels that it’s hard to classify where one social norm - ie gendered power imbalances - ends and another begins, at times.

Because they statistically commit more violent crimes, to answer your question, but I think there’s plenty to be said about how social norms contribute to that situation and push men toward circumstances in which they resort to crime. An argument could be made that men generally have less support socially and when they run into mental illness or bad financial circumstances, they have fewer options to turn toward. Hence, criminal activity is one of the only ways out that they can see. I think Ban…

So to clarify, is your premise that men only exert effort to the extent that it guarantees access to women? I feel like you’re making a more nuanced point, but this did stand out to me.

I find that there’s some nuanced missed by many in TRP or similar communities on this point. The main nuance is that, generally speaking, people behave quite differently in the “mate seeking” and “relationship building” arenas. This comes with significant hormonal changes along with the social behaviors, too, such as the increase in vasopressin in males who are in a relationship and the lowering of testosterone for females who are committed to a man.

Well, if a bad decision could very realistically result in your death, disfigurement, traumatization, or ruination of your entire life plan, you'd be wise to be picky about that decision right?

Treat a dog like that, especially a strong and independent breed like a pitty, and what you'll eventually get is your throat torn out or some missing fingers. The way he treats his animals is abuse. Women, we ought to take a lesson from animals who allow nature to guide them when it comes to defending themselves - if you have to bide your time to stay safe, do that, and strike when you can.

Would you be so kind as to link to the study? I love learning about gender differences via social psychology. Also, experientially, most males in a given society/subset tend to find the same women attractive. That is why these women are labeled "attractive" to begin with, in a general sense.

That may be the case. I think if a woman has her druthers, she will be with a mostly-good AND strong man.

I can understand why you would see it that way, however the data (and personal experience, though that’s less relevant to this conversation) would seem to indicate that women are actually happier, not less happy.

In response to the historic sharing of a male, I have generally seen the “other” women outside of marriage categorized as mistresses, concubines, or prostitutes.

Courtesans and mistresses received everything from pensions to estates in return for their sexual and romantic services. Therefore I strugg…

Interesting. Historically speaking, and in more “traditional” societies today, would you say that the prevalence of political (rather than attraction-based) marriage had a portion in the willingness of women to share one resource-heavy male?

In most mammal species, only 20% of males pass on their genetic material. Aka, only 20% are considered viable mates and are able to attract, defend, and mate with females. Humans are no exception to this biological fact. Therefore I personally see this differential as an inherent part of being a mammal as much as anything else; in fact human males have more of a chance than most other species. There are various studies which have looked into this, so the angle depends on who you read. Sources: h…

As a bi woman, I empathize with you so deeply on this. We are preyed upon and stereotyped from a lot of different directions and it’s easy to just give up on dating altogether. I strongly suggest you report this woman if she was on an app, and potentially make a post online in a group such as the anti unicorn hunting ones on fb to warn other bi women! I’m fully prepared to make a huge public scene if this ever happens again, these predators are criminals at worst and at best are just horrid peop…

"No, Joe, I don't talk to myself - but it sure is a better option than talking to you." Give a big smile, and then turn your attention away from him. Every time he tries to talk to you after that, smile or laugh, then immediately end the conversation and do something else.

I think what’s helped me with this is to “frame” the situation - instead of just feeling the emotion, I stop, observe it, and verbally make a statement about it in a logical way. So for example, if I’m feeling guilty, I’ll stop whatever I’m doing for a few minutes. I sit with that feeling, then say to myself “I am feeling guilty due to x situation. This is an emotion, but it does not define the reality of what is happening/happened.” It feels silly at first but over time it works. This “reframin…

Good lord woman, you aren’t overreacting - I’m horrified and saddened you’d even consider that a possibility (not in a judgmental way, it just makes me wish you hadn’t been treated so poorly that you’d feel that way). Expecting him to pick you up and fully care for you for a few days would be the absolute BARE MINIMUM. Please internalize that.

Actually that’s a mistranslation - it says that there must be 4 witnesses to PROVE she’s/he’s an adulterer. It’s gender neutral, too. Without those witnesses she walks free, and even if proven in a woman’s case the punishment was essentially house arrest for a few months in case she’s pregnant.

One thing I have learned - and I’m still young - is that to escape these situations you have to go back in time. Way back. Back to before you started dating this asshole.

Great question! It varies, but my rule is to begin from a place of acceptance, because my goal certainly isn’t to produce guilt or shame in myself.

Well, my first piece of advice is to pick a “niche” target audience. Yes you can still go for quantity within that, but by picking a place aligned with your interests or aesthetic or comfort zones, you’ll naturally find yourself more confident AND find women who enjoy those same places and are thus more likely to be attracted to you. For example, frequenting a bar that has a game room theme or going to specific parks and outdoor spaces that resonate with you. Second, always give a girl an “out” …

I can’t speak for everyone but many girls and women like to text for a few days before meeting in person - it’s a “vetting” process primarily for safety and perhaps to gauge compatibility through conversation.

I guess it proves your point then, because she seems to have genuinely wanted to talk despite the general rules I’d follow in that situation!

Bi girl here! I think the best advice is this: know your “type,” aka what you’re really naturally attracted to. This kind of attraction shows through and someone who knows what they’re into right off the bat is more likely to attract that “type.” be selective about where you go to meet women. Don’t just go to any old gay bar, plan your night based on where you think you’ll truly have fun! A woman having fun is just naturally sexy and will attract attention.
