1	So let's say your wife cheated on you.... There was a time when "staying together for the sake of the children" was the norm. I believe that era ended somewhere around the late 1970s, passing out of fashion about the same time as disco. Having observed more than a handful of marriages go through this same struggle, and having talked--non-professionally--with professional therapists who specialize in family issues, the common belief now is that a toxic marriage is actually more damaging in the long run. It sets up a negative model of wha…	/r/MarriedRedPill	08/06/15 10:43 AM

3	Do you care how your wife/SO dresses when you leave the house together? How about at home? To my mind, there is a league of difference between dressing provocatively and dressing sexily. In practice, a woman can exude a great deal of sexuality without revealing very much skin at all. Demeanor--intelligence, wit, poise, confidence--and class trump a base display of "the goods." Frankly, I do not find women who put their cleavage--or other parts--on display to be very compelling at all. I interpret that as an overt admission that they have nothing of value to offer other than their body…	/r/MarriedRedPill	19/04/15 01:33 AM
2	Mental Equivalent to Lifting? Reading, especially literature. Some fiction is fine, as all work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Mostly, however, I think you want to focus on topics that will stretch your mental faculties. Much like lifting weights pushes your muscles beyond their limits to stimulate growth. Because the world is shrinking and our interaction with diverse other personalities is increasing, I would look to works that help you understand human nature, human behavior, social constructs, &c. I will readily admit…	/r/MarriedRedPill	19/04/15 01:15 AM
8	My university just passed a new policy. A winning strategy would be to confidentially report yourself as a protected LGBT sub-class--say, bisexual--with the understanding that you are not publicaly 'out' and do not wish to be at this time. Perhaps you play to their sympathies and explain that your family adheres to an ultra-orthodox Christian dogma and you are not ready for that battle quite yet. I know of a business that has a strong bias--and reward system--for LGBT members. Two employees there, one of each gender, have played this …	/r/TheRedPill	15/04/15 06:11 PM
10	The easy way to become a better man Your comment reminded me of the story, "Jonathan Livingston Seagull." It is a parable about enlightenment which could also serve as an allegory to the process many here follow. It covers much more ground than TRP and 'game', however, and is worth the read and contemplation from a more 'meta' level.	/r/TheRedPill	15/04/15 05:51 PM
1	Alpha at Work for Your Career and Your Wife I think the key words in my point, the ones that separate what I was driving at from the situation you laid out, are "opportunity or challenge." In your example--shredding sensitive documents because nobody else wants to--I would be hard-pressed to qualify that as an "opportunity" or a "challenge." It sounds to me like the woman you reference wants you to take care of her tedium and is willing to offer a weak attempt at flattery in exchange. In this specific case I don't think, "No" is inappropr…	/r/MarriedRedPill	07/04/15 09:32 PM
5	Alpha at Work for Your Career and Your Wife On the subject of Alpha Behaviors in the Workplace, I would add: Never say no. When presented with an opportunity or challenge, your answer should always be a firmly delivered, "Yes, I can deliver that." If you have misgivings, the next words out of your mouth should be, "But we need to clarify..." Do not leave the meeting without that second sentence and subsequent agreement on details. If your interpersonal skills are finely honed, you can actually say, "No" by first saying, "Yes." The "yes" i…	/r/MarriedRedPill	06/04/15 11:10 PM
5	Maybe there was a blatant double standard, maybe it was because it was her friend. I'll report, you decide. They all think they're fucking princesses even if they're 30 kg overweight Every woman I have ever been involved with, including my wife of many decades, has labored under the illusion of royalty. I do believe that I told every one of them, including my wife, some variation of, "Just because your parents raised you to believe you're a princess doesn't mean you are one." Now that you have me thinking about it, one woman in particular was horribly "princess-ified." What I told her was, "Daddy may …	/r/TheRedPill	02/04/15 06:30 PM

The vast majority of people remember things best when presented in threes. Perhaps giving you three stories at once--even if they're partially fictional--allows the story-teller to remember what was said. I highly doubt many people would be consciously aware of doing this, though. Expanding on the examples of lists in that link, you can use this predilection to your advantage.

1	Marriage means tending to a woman's perceptions Some advice I was given when I wasn't quite so old: "There are three people you need in your life to be the best you can find and younger than you: doctor, lawyer, accountant." Obviously, if you're in your late teens or early 20s, that's going to be challenging. There are benefits in following this advice later, however.	/r/TheRedPill	07/11/14 01:45 PM

2	Finding that passion: getting rid of my "I'll settle for the B" mentality Younger entrepreneurs will often rely on persistence. They remain enamored by an idea and hate the thought of letting it go. Veterans know they don’t have time and energy to waste and are far more likely to use the swift sword. Young--and not-so-young, yet still unwise--entrepreneurs fail to recognize when they are ensnaring themselves in the fallacy of sunk costs. This applies to many areas beyond business as well.	/r/TheRedPill	22/10/14 04:04 PM

2	[Request] I would like more on Power Talk The first paragraph is not powertalk based on actual practice. There are many times where couching your statement in "I'm not sure"--or similar hedging words--is not a demonstration of weakness, but of strength and reinforces a position of power.

2	How do you balance being the stoic, unmoved guy vs the charming, self-amused, high-energy guy? Very few men could pull off "James Bond in the corner." Not even James Bond was "James Bond in the corner." You have to know--or learn--how to mingle. If you are spending the evening in the corner, you aren't generally viewed as mysterious, but rather as asocial. At least in the circles I am acquainted with. I am not naturally a terribly outgoing person. In my 20s I was occasionally told by women, "You're the strong, silent type."

I sometimes wonder why it doesn't occur to these women who are being harassed at work to go to the HR department. That is (one of the reasons) there are HR departments.

8	TRP way of dealing with gf's 'alpha guy friend'? - LTR I think she is oblivious to his intentions and probably a little bit attracted to him. In forty-plus years of dealing with the fairer sex, I have come to understand that despite protestations to the contrary, they are almost never oblivious to intentions. Maybe one in a thousand is that imperceptive. If you are able to pick up on his signals, rest assured she was receiving them long before you noticed.	/r/askTRP	29/09/14 06:53 PM

I could do it in that time for some things, say, burgers, but a well cooked steak au poivre with asparagus and gratin de pommes de terre fondant is a good deal longer. For what it is worth, my wife cooks tasty and filling dinners in about thirty minutes. I do the fancy stuff, and it always seems to take forever.

The Crusades were ostensibly all about bringing Christianity to the heathens and protecting the Holy Land from Islamic conquests.

I am well into my fifties and have observed that women do not magically stop acting immature or making poor choices when they hit their thirties. They do seem to use the benefits of their experience--their "womanly wiles," if you will--to hide their infidelities.

You told me you didn't trust me and were afraid I was going to cheat. I figured if that's what you thought of me, I might as well do it." The fallout from that was gruesome for everyone involved.

1	Sheryl Sandberg wants to dramatically increase the gender diversity among Facebook's employees: "I want half and half, half across the board. 50%" There comes a tipping point in the "diversity over delivery" approach that major corporations are pursuing. We are not there yet, but it isn't too far off. Promoting a staffing policy that focuses solely on gender and not on ability is akin to standing at the mouth of the mine and throwing away 75% of the gold-bearing ore because you want to make sure you're getting equal amounts of lead and gold in to the hopper.	/r/TheRedPill	16/09/14 01:20 PM

When it didn't get the reaction she was looking for, she escalated to pointing out that she could sleep with any of them she wanted at virtually any time; had them eating out of her hand.

If you achieve enough goals, it even starts to come around full circle.

In the cases of child support I have been privy to, the court ordered amount is well beyond what my wife and I have spent on raising our own children. It borders on punitive.

At least he won't pay alimony to support the slut in "the style she to which she is accustomed".

Mostly I ask if I want to know if she'll be making dinner or if I'll be improvising. By improvising I mean eating at the club.

The problem with being an easy-going guy is that you are generally not making any demands on whatever woman you happen to be with. No demands in a relationship means no friction.

As I have progressed through many phases of a sine wave of entrepreneurship followed by captive, yet lucrative, employment, I've come to understand and accept that it really doesn't matter. If ten young guys ask me how I started and ran a particularly successful endeavor and I tell them, the reality is that one of them will have enough ambition to make a start.

I think it's a follow-on effect from millions of years of finely honed threat assessment skills.

It doesn't matter if you have sex right away, or honor her (your?) commitment to "wait until marriage." In the circumstance you mention, the sex is still being bartered for but the man is banking on a short-term sacrifice rewarded by a long-term pay off.
