There's solid advice here, but I think the phenomenon of mediocre performers being promoted has a much simpler explanation: if they promote someone, they have to also replace him in his current role. If your skill-set is seemingly indispensable, then management might see that by promoting you, they will create a very hard to fill void. Let's say you're a world class mathematician, and a good-but-not-great people person/leader. Replacing a world class mathematician is very hard, but finding a per…

eagerly tackle the most difficult tasks This can backfire if you're not careful, in most companies job roles are somewhat fluid, and volunteering for work nobody else wants can cause you to become "the guy" for that work, if the work is potentially ongoing. In engineering I see this happen all the time. Now you can't be promoted because you're seen as a specialist that's impossible to replace. If you want the work this can be a good thing, but if you're just doing the difficult task to be a team…

As a guy that tries to write something unique when I find a girl I might like, I've run into a lot are profiles that are way too vague to really farm a conversation starter from. There's a lot of "I love to laugh" (who doesn't?) and "my family is super important to me". Those aren't bad things, but.. I can't do anything with that. It's too general, so anything I say is going to sound generic. One rather practical idea that's come out of the pickup community is the idea of having some piece of fl…

I'd say so. I guess the main complaint here is that the characters are spoiled/unlikable, but I think the show generally acknowledges that. It's not like they're held up to be role models. I think there's a difference between portraying a lifestyle and advocating it, and I feel like it does more of the former than the latter (as compared to something like sex in the city).

I forgot about that one, but I entirely agree.

Interesting, I always felt like OWS never quite reached red pill, although I felt like introducing the whole concept of the 1% was very important. I agree with your characterization of red pill vs blue pill in that scenario, I'm just not entirely sure the movement did (in a coherent way). The whole movement felt like watching an alzheimers patient say something lucid and you'd excitedely think "yes! they're awake!" only to follow it up with some obvious gibberish and you'd be like, dammit, not q…

Just to contribute to my own thread, here are some "red pills" I've been thinking about. I'm hoping at least some of these are hard to swallow, because that really is what makes a red pill a red pill right? If you didn't have to work for it it'd be common knowledge. First off, The Denial of Death seems to take the whole "meaning of life" idea and dance on it with muddy boots: http://www.randallwatters.com/becker.htm I also can't say that he has an obvious theme other than cultural narcisicm, but…

Because patriarchy, of course.

I think that's a fair point and probably a large part of the story's appeal. I think a lot of writers, when faced with writing a female protagonist, pretty much end up writing a man with a vagina when they want the character to be heroic. Putting the red pill aside for a moment, I think (interesting) female protagonists are sort of underrepresented. The only good recent one i can think of is Carrie mathison on homeland (season one, anyway)

I'm sure they would, although since they keep referring hunger games I feel like this is relevant: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2012/04/whats_wrong_with_the_hunger_ga_1.html

I think this is about trying to one-up her friend. She was showing that she had dominance in her relationship, while illustrating that her friend didn't. Basically she was using you as a pawn to say to her friend "see how I can put a guy in his place, but you can't?" (I guess in her estimation, she thinks that having dominance over her guy demonstrates her own social value)

Maybe, but who cares? Either way the question is a legit hypothetical of how to act in that situation, regardless of the motives of the poster.

Well, you could hire a nanny. Or have an adult conversation about it with your wife. When I say "have a conversation", I don't mean some sort of obnoxious "we-need-to-talk" ultra serious thing, but if she's doing something you don't like then bring it up in the moment she's doing it instead of simmering on it. You want to avoid the "You always do X..." conversation by nipping things early. I mean if she's taking advantage of you, or if you just feel like she's taking advantage of you, that's on …

Pickup-style artistry is often emphasized as the effective way to talk to and ultimately copulate with women. It's called "game," one's strategy in approaching someone for romantic purposes. I like the implication that somehow there was no such concept of "game" before the red pill. Heh.

I think the thing is, you have to separate the act from the person. He's trying to be the "every man" on purpose because the jokes work better. He can get away with being so self deprecating because he is basically the greatest current comedian in the world (arguable and subjective, I know, but I don't think most comedians would find the idea absurd if you floated it at them). Also a tangent, but: In an interview about his show, he actually talks about how when he writes a conflict, he intention…

This is how fucked our society is. It's completely ok for a woman to display her sexuality, but somehow if the rest of us go "hey, good job!", it's like you've murdered baby jesus for recognizing the thing she was trying to display in the first place. Recognizing someone for a positive trait they have (looking good or dressing well or whatever) doesn't mean you've discounted their existence as a human being. I mean, as a guy, if I wear a tight shirt and people are like "hey, you've been working …

Probably going against the grain here, but there's nothing wrong with friend girls. They can help you meet non-friend girls, or they can be useful wings, or shit, they can just be friends. Just don't get weird about it; know when they're friends and when they're not, don't get it all mixed up. You have to be the one that decides that, don't let them dictate that choice for you, and don't friend a girl on false pretenses.

My general thought is living in reality is good for both women and men. I don't think red pill has to be about men advancing their interests against those of women, understanding mating strategies of both sexes can help both maximize their opportunities. I think while men suffer from displaying beta traits all the time, women suffer equally from a lack of alpha men (and those men generally having a silly amount of leverage because of their shortage)

I don't think you came across as too-highvalue, I think you just miscalibrated things. They weren't as in to you as you thought they were, and your negs didn't land quite right. It's all push-pull, but you had a bit too much push and not enough pull. Also it's hard to say from the description, but it sounds like you hadn't really qualified her, so you were still sort of in the early stages of this and she wasn't tied to the interaction. So it goes. Learning experience.

So, I haven't actually read that book, but from your summary I think you could see an alpha perspective for most of those arguments: Avoid argument --> Silly, but it reminds me of the south park episode with caesar milan. "Don't reason with it, dominate it". Getting what you want doesn't always equate to having a well reasoned discussion, sometimes the most alpha thing is to simply refuse that sort of conversation. If you argue with someone you're automatically making them your peer and inviting…

I'm amused how most of his retorts are "well you're not getting laid with that attitude!" Are we in middle school or something? This guys is like the definition of trying too hard.

Is it really the men shaming the women though? I'm not saying that men are never involved in the process, yet "slut" seems like a label made by women for other women, the fact that men sometimes adopt it just seems like collateral damage.

Just a thought: all your examples are really generic. I know they're just examples so it's not fair to pick on them, but I wonder if maybe your teasing has the same problem? To me, the idea of "teasing" a woman suggests that you present something she wants, and then you withhold it. The act of holding back is what creates momentum. The perception I get from your teasing examples is that it feels really impersonal. You're just "teasing" because it's a thing you feel like you should do. But it doe…
