If a demon with knowledge of the future told me that my romantic life would always be frustrating and lonely, I'm not sure I could accept that as a life worth living. My hobbies often feel like a pathetic attempt to cope as it is.

Keep in mind, I'm not meaning to state a universal law of human attraction. Just that men and women are more alike than they are different.

There are few universal laws in human behavior, but chances are you are more alike than you are different from other people. That's not to say those differences aren't significant. Plus it's worth considering that there are probably men similar to yourself out there. It's also worth noting some neurological disorders can leave one unable to effectively process faces. But not to be rude or dismissive, I would imagine you're more likely to form such a bond with someone you find aesthetically appea…

You're embittered because you're embittered. Your commenting history has shown that. Meaning that they're afraid of the threat of male violence, and that colours discourse here. No. Though that is a common feature of our cultural discourse. They try to paint their sexuality in a light that won't feed into the bitterness and resentment prevalent here. Many of this subreddit's female posters are here to represent "team woman." I'm not sure what the relevance of your screed here is. I am not excusi…

The basics are easily intuited: be attractive, don't be unattractive, don't be needy, don't be weird. Not all that dissimilar from men. It's the particulars that are harder to suss out. Except men don't really understand the particulars of their own attraction either. Otherwise the 'why boner' would not be the long-running meme it's been. But aside from that, often the biggest difficulty men face in figuring out attraction is that they don't and sometimes can't meet rules 1 and 2; I know from my…

Where did I say it was easy? Male attraction isn't actually that well-understood despite the focused attention paid to it, hence why companies keep fucking up "sex sells."

Women are not helpless idle passengers in the process of the formation of our social values. In fact, a massive component of our prevailing cult of weakness comes down to feminists aggressively framing women's disadvantaged position as one of moral superiority.

Are you actually, factually incapable of engaging with a point or do you just whole-cloth create a new reality in which to argue every time? Reply only to points I made, please; it might take a bit more careful and thorough of thought than you're used to and if you're not up to the task, don't waste my time. Human attraction is generally not all that well-understood. One thing that stands out, whenever you engage with something that isn't self-reported is that aesthetics play a huge role in one'…

I'm sick of some of the women here acting like their attraction is some magical, mysterious thing that works oh so differently from men's because they don't like the implications of the social effects of their greater selectivity and don't want men to get bitter about it. The markers might be different, you might have a weaker libido and you might need a greater feeling of security than men do, but you're still part of a species of visual predators and have a psychology oriented around the prima…

Woman, do you think men keep a comprehensive database of every hot woman they encounter? There are countless gorgeous women that I drooled over which I completely fucking forgot and only remembered the existence of because someone reminded me. If you told most guys that they went to school with Jessica Alba, you'd get an "oh yeah, that was her, wasn't it?" We're not that fucking different.

Many men would be better off talking to a therapist and taking SSRIs than trying to cope with alcohol (socialization is a must, but you don't need alcohol to do that). I'm not sure what the fuck the aversion to therapists is (perhaps some tweaking of therapeutic models is in order), it's just a professional confidant; fucking samurai had professional confidants and you're not more manly than them. As for SSRIs, you're already coping with drugs (ones that fuck up your endocrine system pretty badl…

Man, mental illness sucks. Sometimes I keep shit together, feel OK with myself and life at large, like I've got a good handle on this shit and then sometimes it all just collapses in on itself and it feels like the only thing keeping me going is my fear of eternal recurrence. I haven't had much luck with CBT as a tool of talking myself out of it, and I always forget to practice mindfulness then. Oh well, it's gotten less extreme as I've gotten older and it doesn't disrupt my life as badly as it …

I can't make the slightest sense of it. I can only imagine it's a product of cripplingly low self-image. They feel they can't be desired, so they'll at least settle for being needed. I shudder to think of what life would be like for a woman at the mercy of such insecurity.

Why is there this weird double thread of not wanting women to want you for your resources, but also thinking that the solution to modern dating woes is to make women materially dependent on men? How does that fucking work? You know what you get when your wife is with you because she and her kids will starve otherwise? A partner who resents you and stands a good chance of fucking the men she actually desires behind your back.

But what about the public schools!? They aren't claiming to be the sole human arbiters of moral conduct handed down directly from God, nor do they ship their child molestors off to third-world countries to help them escape punishment. Additionally, we all agree that it's bad when teachers do that and nobody is playing defense for them.

Symmetry if I recall is unique in being fairly universal cross-culturally, whereas other stuff tends to vary a bit more. Me, I just try not to sweat it. Now that I'm getting back in shape, women have been responding positively to me and so the particulars don't bother me (if I ever get the money to get work done, I'll consult a professional).

For a lot of men, those obvious displays are very rare or generally only come from women they don't want. Also, there's a bunch of potential social difficulties that compound it. The question of whether she's disinterested or just awkward always comes to mind.

Making people happy isn't actually a requirement of a society to survive and be powerful. The most successful socieities have often been highly immiserating for their occupants. Consider Sparta, which was a major power in Greece for centuries, resting on the backs of brutalized slaves that outnumbered their citizenry kept in line by the harshly conditioned citizen-soldiers their presence both facilitated and necessitated.

You do realize that all of these societies are still going, right? And among normies the religious rituals have mostly been replaced by culture wars and politics (which as much as I detest both, I'm not sure are any worse as I'm old enough to remember when the Christian moral majority had hold over culture).

I think it gives them a feeling of belonging that they don't possess in their day to day life and serves to legitimate and valorize their status as outsiders, by virtue-making of their social deficiencies.
/r/PurplePillDebate09/08/22 09:09 PM

It really has very little to do with them getting laid or not getting laid. They've turned their own resentment into a larger set of ethical principals and created a narrow framework through which they filter life, nearly all facets of life, in a process very similar to that of religious thought, only without the positive aspects of faith.

The latter. My main objection is that the Red Pill makes an ethic out of their intentionally fostered embitterment and resentment, while attempting to frame life through the lens of a self-limiting narrative in an act of intellectual suicide that prevents them from growing and living authentically.

I agree that personality is a big factor for a a lot of men, but I've never known anyone that people considered especially socially adept who wasn't also fairly good-looking. It seems that being weird-looking is a recipe for the kind of background that socially stunts someone (in addition to not being able to benefit from the halo effect).

I think prior to the substance of the universe is the infinite consciousness of God which suffuses all things and of which our consciousnesses are outward-looking (inward from its perspective, though that distinction doesn't really apply to it) expressions of and to which we return upon our deaths.

/r/PurplePillDebate07/08/22 12:40 AM

I'm partial to the panpsychist approach, particularly Spinoza's work, as I feel it offers the most plausible answer to the hard problem of consciousness (consciousness is prior to substance). Also it dovetails nicely into my psychedelic experiences.

Good God, the bits about contemporary feminists at the beginning are some absolutely fucking textbook slave-morality.

Personally I don't give a shit about a woman's sexual past; as long as she doesn't hold my past against me or try to control me with her insecurities, I'm happy to extend the same courtesy. But the thing about resentment is that it's a poisonous emotion that will drive someone to do things that'll hurt themselves if it means striking back at the ones they resent, making things worse for everyone. All you can really do is avoid these men and call out their resentment for what it is.

Honestly ladies, the only way the "double standard" is going to end is if women start holding men's promiscuity against them.

I'd say anywhere from a significant minority to a majority (so let's say a third to two-thirds) of men don't get to enjoy casual sex much, if at all and certainly not with the same ease women get to enjoy it. Now you might be thinking "So what? That's his problem." and you'd be right, but do you really expect most men to be happy with having salt rubbed in their emotional injuries when they inevitably start comparing their past to yours?

I've definitely seen women here say that. Usually when they're doing that whole bit where they claim they're the prize and hold all the cards.

It's the unrequitted attraction paired with the lack of a definite rejection. I'd read Dante's description of Limbo in Inferno.

I'm not sure this is the slam-dunk you think it is. This thread is discussing confidence with the idea in mind of appealing to women; what others think is intrinsically part of it.

Nah. They catch a lot of flak. I could list a bunch of examples, but consider being a short guy who likes big trucks.

The only person that can be responsible for your actions is you; you are the only person with any control over them.

Man, short men catch way too much flak, but some of the short guys here are fucking nuts.

While Jimmy is ultimately responsible for his own actions, Chuck had a hand in helping things turn out the way they did.

Yeah, don't come here for advice. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much in the way of good, actionable advice out there. Models by Mark Manson seems to be the best there is, and it's mostly pretty standard self-help stuff that I have my criticisms of.

This sounds like a genderswap of the friendzone scenario.

Alternatively, you could take what he says at face value, accept him as an imperfect human being and not let your insecurities torpedo a potentially meaningful relationship (don't tolerate cheating though; there are very practical reasons not to).

Nobody is perfect and we are all deeply flawed, at least from the standards of what we'd like in people. This is the real genius of Augustine's Original Sin, even though it's still life- denying nonsense.

Again, it's part of processing it. Part of the problem is that we refuse to even acknowledge these things, and so there's few resources to help men effectively internalize these things in a healthy fashion.

I already don't. But I'm not going to compromise on my boundaries. Women expect men to tolerate the inevitable comparison to their previous partners and the handful of men they're actively carnally excited by, they can bloody well learn to tolerate comparison to women that their partners know they'll never in a million years be with anyway.

You're being quite unfair to women. What you're observing is that women as a whole are just less motivated by sex than men are, and so are less willing to accept a partner they're only so-so about or ignore red flags because they don't feel as pressing a drive to satisfy their sexual urges. What you observe of women tolerating mistreatment from their partners is really no different from the men that let their partners walk all over them to maintain their relationship with them; women just tolera…

I think they're mostly just venting and trying to process the reality of it. Men want to be carnally wanted by their partners; not tolerated, not accepted, but actively lusted after. But the simple fact is, most men don't have the physical attributes to be wanted the way they want to be wanted as 5'4" Jane Plain will never be as thrilled to receive 5'9" Joe Average's five incher as he is to experience her absolutely mediocre vagina. This fact is fucking distressing to a lot of men, and invites i…

I'm going to look at porn. Any woman that doesn't like that can find someone else.

They often come in at weird angles, causing inconvenience or pain, if they come in properly at all which can cause all kinds of fun issues. Most people's mouths just aren't big enough for them.

The disparity in participation between the sexes on dating apps is just a reflection of the fact things are generally harder for men. Men turn to dating apps in such large numbers out of desperation.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
