Okay, but... they're both right. Just because a girl's only going to receive scrutiny about her repeat outfit from other girls, doesn't make it any less exclusively experienced by girls. As long as we can agree that scrutinizing people for wearing the same outfit consecutively is shitty, why start an argument over something we can agree on?

mostly I can't unsee how fucked up my mental inner workings and shit is eating me. You doing okay, dude? Make sure you're keeping your social health up. Talking with others is a good way to get out of your own headspace. It's difficult for us to assess our own thoughts and ideas when they're in the brain we're using to think about them. Talking with other people not only gives you an opportunity to externalize your thoughts and ideas, but gives you a chance to hear a new perspective on your view…

Believe me, as beautiful as a girl is, there is NOTHING beyond the sex that she can offer you, instead they ask you for EVERYTHING. I'm sorry that you're facing this kind of worldview after your past experiences with women. I'd be sad, too, if I were in your shoes. I hope that you're able to be friends with - and relate to - more women in your life, so that you can see the value in other people.

I felt like I had lost something. I felt like I had lost something between now and high school. This is a difficult period in time for a lot of young adults. Take solace in understanding that you're not alone in searching for self-identity and values to hold important. The degree to which relationships hold value to you is up to you, but make sure that you don't burn any bridges, in case you change your mind later about how emotionally attached you want to be with someone. It comes with its own …

To recap your relationship history, she knowingly or unknowingly took advantage of your running errands for her, plus awkwardly mentioned amazing sex with her ex right after sex with you. It seems like there was also a span of time where your sexual needs just weren't met with her. Can I assume that you communicated all of these grievances with her? I assume you didn't just keep it bottled up, right? Because if you did stay quiet about your issues with her (or if you did talk, but your grievance…

Glad to hear you're getting through what can be a long and difficult process for many people. I don't know the circumstances around your divorce or what your former relationship was like, but this is just a reminder that feelings of remorse and loss are common and completely normal for divorcees. In seeking the positive appreciation for your divorce, don't obligate yourself to ignore any negative emotions you're having about it all.

I'm glad to hear that you have found motivation to keep your relationships, physical health, and work life going strong. It's hard for people to keep up with that level of motivation for so long, and while I'm glad you're doing better, try not to burn yourself out. Stay positive and focused on your goals, but keep some balance in your life. Best of luck to you.

You ever play Persona 4? Not that your experiences entirely match this character, but you somewhat remind me of him. Do you have someone outside your sexual partners who you can trust to talk to about your past? From the way you say: But, fortunately, I framed it as something I am in the process of overcoming successfully, though it is trying, and gave little to no detail, and did not ask her explicitly for help on the matter. It is something I struggle with but as a man I can fucking handle it …

towards the end of my stay I was literally 15 seconds away from being murdered, was left with PTSD and subsequently lost most of my social connections. Jesus dude, how long ago was this? That's neither easy nor simple to just shrug off. I'm glad that you're getting laid and all, but you need to take care of yourself in other ways, too. Are you regaining social connections?

We're glad to still have you around. Divorce is neither short nor easy for anyone to bounce back from. If it only happened months ago, then no kidding that you're still in a "funk". That's completely understandable, dude.

Always remember that women without a man to guide them will end up lost. ...otherwise I'd have ended up with a girl like this. I'm lost. The first line implies that you think that your involvement could have helped reduced her supposed decline, but the second suggests that you think she would have ended up like this anyway and brought you down with her. You can't have this feel-good conclusion both ways, man.

I used to be a beta nerd, and always thought that I could get girls just by being a nice person and such. You can, but... I used to do cringey stuff like write poetry to girls, saying good morning to them daily, asking how's their day, confessing to them when "the time is right" Depending on the context, yeah, this can come off as cringe-inducing.

Since you have used personal anecdotes to support your claims (which, by the way, I have no problem with), I may do the same, but only as a counterpoint to your generalizations. Men simply are not equipped to talk about "big issues " with their wives, I am. I have the balls to confront difficult issues with my SO, even when it's hard for me, her, or both of us.

Pardon my argumentative nature for a moment... It's entirely possible for a statement can be fundamentally true, regardless of the quality of the argument made. That said, your argument supporting throwaway-aa2's statement amounts to "no explanation is needed; it's just true." Problem is, I could use this reasoning to support any sort of falsehood. It wouldn't persuade anyone, and it doesn't logically hold up. To counter your reasoning, if this truth is so self-evident that reasoning is not requ…

You'll find that 99% of the people I argued either resorted to flaming and ad-hominems, or deleted their account, or just stopped replying all together. Supposing that they did, this doesn't logically prove that you're correct. But I understand that the point you're making is that it's pointless for us to argue.

Avoid long conversations because most of the time women are just using logic to convey their emotions. Are we really doing the "women are emotional, but men are logical" argument? This isn't the 1920's. What's with this assumption that a woman who is using logic is just doing so for emotional reasons? And even if they are, why does this take a different approach than when a man does it? This just sounds like speculation that's assumed as the truth.

I can't really tell you what's true and false in your relationship, since you know more about your circumstances than a random stranger on the internet. I'd say that if talking things out with your wife over 20 years never resolved a single thing, then you two really suck at talking, but I don't want to be that guy who makes the "my method works and it only doesn't work for your because you're doing it wrong" argument.

If it bothers you, I can rephrase: your actions have caused your wife some resentment that it seems that she cannot express to you. Your attitude toward lengthy or meaningful conversation appears to support this. You seem to treat this a positive goal. I understand that I can be viewed as an outsider here, but we both want you and your family to be doing well. I'm just hoping that you can see where there may be issues that you're not considering.

That is, the idea that I needed to work on MYSELF and do what is right for me first. I don't see much wrong with that.

We cannot fulfill the latter duties until we can satisfy the basics of the former duties.

So it sounds like, by worrying less about potential negative outcomes of your decisions, you're able to make decisions more quickly and effectively.

It can be difficult, and OP knows it. But telling her that it's statistically unlikely that she will succeed isn't going to help as much as providing advice.

You say it's unlikely because of her past actions, but again, if we judged everyone by the same criteria, no men would be expected to improve themselves, either.

That's sad when a partner's career path conflicts with a relationship, and I could see how the financial dependence could be an issue. It's important for both partners to have some sort of financial independence, both for the sake of their partner and to preserve personal financial power.

If you'll pardon my challenge, that doesn't seem like the most accurate litmus test. Too many additional variables, like individual standards, kinks, methods of sexual expression, and tastes could present cases that don't fall neatly into those categories to make it accurate. For example, a girl who generally swallows may just enjoy the activity of it, regardless of sexual attraction.

Without TRP I'd be groveling at this spoiled bitch's feet. You believe these are the only two possible outcomes? Being ambivalent to a pissed-off girlfriend for the sex, or being her bitch? And I'm still not exactly convinced that this is a positive result - you've simply become accustomed to having a girlfriend who yells at you for your behavior, rather than working to resolve a issue that can make things less problematic.

TRP accepts them as truth, and interprets any examples or information opposing these generalizations as "the exception" to the assumed true generalization. Because of this, TRP has set up a system in which their generalization is logically infallible: any evidence to the contrary of their generalization can only be evidence of outliers, which does not disprove their generalizati…

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding here, please correct me if I'm wrong: The upset comes from the fact that people interpreted the sweeping generalizations in your last post as genuine, because when you said "women are incapable of change", you really meant that "some women lack conviction and ought to work on it." And if anyone points out that the argument you made is different from the argument you meant, it's tone policing? Making a completely different argument than what's intended is no longer to…

Her motivations were visible in her actions. Her motivations were interpreted and assumed. Judge her actions, sure, since cheating on him was a terrible choice, but assuming and guessing what her motivations are isn't going to get anywhere.

Could be confirmation bias, could also just be confirmation.... That's the thing, with the information given, we can't possibly know. However, outside of TRP, you can find many stories and examples of women breaking these stereotypes. TRP rejects these as embellishments and lies, which is why one can only find stereotype-confirming stories here. Are all of these stories really lies and embellishments? Or is TRP exhibiting confirmation bias?

"I'm working on it." "I'm trying..." "I can't change overnight!" It should come as no surprise, and our experienced members can likely relate- these phrases are rarely, if ever accompanied by actual change. But the very fact that the phrase "trying" is in her vocabulary means she has already admitted she does not have the faculties of mind present to understand what a change would entail. Why can't these also apply to men? It seems like we're just supposed to assume your premise to be true when …

This subreddit has went from a discussion of sexual strategy to whining and complaining about women. TRP cannot exist without reaffirming generalizations and negative stereotypes of women (ie. they're cheating, manipulative, submitting to dominance, illogical, etc.). Discussions of sexual strategy require this perception of women as targets of classical conditioning, that all of their individual motivations and reasons can be summarized and easily described through simple generalizations. If wom…

What does the physical disability have to do with anything? All she had to do was make babies and raise them. Was doing some bullshit degree, probably to not be a "social hierachy outcast" while having a disability, but pushing towards stay at home mom.

it's a just a redpill site that i wanted to link about your special snowflake playing videogames. It's unreasonable to apply a broad generalization to a specific example, even more so when you have incredibly little information about that example. You end up making vast assumptions (as the article does), and when these assumptions impose negative personal character traits, it's almost insulting. The result is a poorly-researched insult that comes off as incredibly ignorant, which seems to be the…

Okay, let me address it directly then. But we're talking about your average girl who's more likely to cheat than not while on vacation, not the cream of the crop. This is not what you asked me for. You asked me for an example of a girl who travels to other countries and doesn't cheat. I gave you some. The average girl isn't what we're talking about, it's what you're trying to talk about. The point you're trying to prove is that girls are generally cheaters, that the average girl is a cheater. As…

I'm confused: was the relationship deteriorating prior to this decision to take a trip? Or is the trip itself the evidence of deterioration? If it's the former, the dude will need to find out what issues brought them to that point, and resolve them one way or another - that, or leave her. I don't see how the latter is the case, unless the trip is for an extended period of time. But if the relationship's going fine before then, with some effort, they can maintain a long-distance relationship and …

The No True Scotsman fallacy is contingent on there being a group that is poorly defined. Feminism is a good example. I agree on both fronts. Feminism does have a handful of principles, but they're simple enough to be broadly interpreted. A masculine man, particularly as we use it here, is fairly well defined. I quite strongly disagree here. No dictionary will match the definition you provide with the same level of specificity. A man (in the sense of exhibiting masculine features) is entirely so…

Everyone's met someone who they thought was a unicorn. In a way, I'm dating one. In early high school, I didn't think any girls were really into video games.

TRP changed how I act. It did not change how the world acts. Sure, totally. There will still be women (and men) who refuse to be held accountable or responsible. But you still have power within your own relationships. they exist, but to expect to find one at all is a BP fantasy. Personally speaking, this also seems like an issue of mindset. If you don't expect a woman with a sense of autonomy or responsibility, confirmation bias will ensure that you won't know when you find one.

That sounds terribly defeatist. D: TRP clearly changed how you view and act in life, right? Change is totally possible at the individual level - you don't need to change all of society, just the individual romantic/sexual partners in your life. If you think a woman is holding you responsible for far too much, encourage her to be more active and responsible. If she absolutely won't, find someone who will. It's way better than feeding into a dumb trend, being expected to do and be held responsible…

Isn't this contradictory? If you believe that women place all responsibility and accountability on men to initiate and act on everything, and that this is a bad and stupid thing, why advocate for that idea of "men should be the ones that make things happen"?

TRP benefits women tremendously by helping men become actual men. How so? I could see how this could indirectly benefit women with close or intimate ties with men - having a family member, friend, or loved one with a higher self-esteem could generally do better for the relationship. But this could hardly be considered "tremendous". Are there other benefits I'm not seeing? I have failed almost 100% of the time going after women with the typical nice guy/blue pill approach. Women hate that shit. A…

However one under-current seemed to be common among them, they were miserable and on several medications. It then all made sense.

Getting into what feminists do and don't say is a bit hard, since "what do feminists say" is kind of a difficult question to answer. However, I tried Googling feminist alimony (without quotes). Front page brings up many posts by feminist bloggers - including one from Jezebel and one from Tumblr - explaining that the trend of demanding alimony goes against feminism. Regardless, I'm interested in why people have come to the conclusions they've made, rather than debate about what's correct and not.

Why would you give any consideration to someone complaining about how a person is portrayed on camera? Because it's possible they have a reason. That's exactly why I came here - to TRP to ask what were the reasons the members had for their opposition to feminism. I was curious what their reasons were, instead of writing it off as some dumb or simple reason. You wouldn't want your viewpoint to be written off as such, right? You're not at all curious why people are upset about getting catcalled?

OK, by now I assume you're a girl. By the smiley face? Or the "girls can be friends" comment? I'm just curious.

There are so many different types of feminism it's practically impossible to define the term in and by itself. I've noticed that, too.

It's by no means an "attack" on TRP. It's simply inquiry and fascination. I can't see how any answers I receive could somehow discredit the ideology as a whole. Regardless, I'll consider these responses as representative of the opinions of the individuals, rather than the group as a whole.

How were you nice before? Are you defining "nice" by the absence of behavior that would be considered not nice? I ask because it seems like niceness isn't the factor in your life you needed change, but rather initiative. It's possible you were perceived as invisible from general lack of action or initiative to engage socially. Perhaps you were passive when bad things happened to you. Thus, having detached yourself from this former behavior, you've become more engaged and assertive, and have thus…
