So you start by using your own personal experience as some kind of "objective" metric, extrapolate from that that pretty much everyone else should have had the same conditions, experiences, skills and knowledge as you do and then top that off by... disparaging one sex but not the other? Okay.

Awesome. I actually saw this on Amazon. I think it's on my wishlist.

So basically what I’m seeing in the comments is that people seem to think the only men that exist are ultra GigaChads or Simps, and women are all hypergamous slutbots. Get me off this planet.

Because people usually aren’t very good at realizing what’s best for them when they’re young.

But you have led me to a possible rebuttal: if the alpha/beta studies of wolfs was debunked, then what scientific evidence are they basing this supposed phenomenon in humans on?
/r/ExRedPill23/01/23 09:23 PM

Neither I nor he is denying its origins, but people often take terms that originated somewhere and appropriate them for their own uses. Pointing that out isn’t the same as debunking them, like pointing out that Pygmalion was a Greek myth doesn’t disprove the pygmalion effect.

This is true and fair, but I know of at least one RPer who will admit that the RP alpha/beta male concept isn’t derived from the study on wolves.

Give me one instance of a woman putting her life before her children and I guarantee you I can find 10 instances of women sacrificing their life for their children.

I appreciate you actually giving me a source, by the way.

Not so much. I’m talking to a Redpiller now who is claiming that conceptually it has nothing to do with the alpha/beta wolves, it’s just borrowing from the name and describing something else, which is perfectly valid.

I’m reading his book now. In the intro he basically says “all my bio professors would tell me I’m wrong, but it’s because they don’t want you to know the truth”. I couldn’t stop laughing. Okay Mister Bachelors Degree in Psychology, I’m sure you have it all figured out…

Here’s the thing. Rarely is anything we’re told a complete lie, just as rarely anything we’re told is the absolute truth. My issue with most of these extremist type communities is they’ll take perfectly solid scientific facts (or worse, the conclusions of one study) and blow it into ridiculous proportions. Is it true that women tend to find taller men attractive? Yes. Does it follow from that that if you are 5’6” you are doomed in the dating market? Of course not. There are so many absurd connec…

I’m really confused what you’re asking here…
/r/PurplePillDebate18/01/23 07:19 PM

Sure, but that’s a losing mentality. If your precedent is “make sure the wife works as equal paying a job as I do IN CASE we divorce SO THAT I don’t owe alimony”, that’s a pretty defeatist mindset. Why get married in the first place? Not to mention that whole scenario is more beneficial to the woman anyway as she’ll have more financial independence, hence relinquishing the need for alimony.

I’m happy to have a discussion

Okay, but the problem with that is that I think the way it would be enforced would have a significant effect on society. I'm not sure how we can just ignore that without making this an almost impossibly ridiculous hypothetical. It's like "let's imagine social/public policy and the law were hugely altered but also imagine that nobody is affected by that and examine this question".
/r/PurplePillDebate17/01/23 04:15 AM

I think you mean hypothetical, and isn’t the point of entertaining hypotheticals to consider how they would actually play out in practice?

In a nutshell, learned helplessness.

No, for a number of reasons, my biggest being I can’t imagine the horror of actually trying to practically enforce something like that.

Parts of the full quote. The question in your title is the 2nd part.

The second part is true insofar as it’s true of any individual. The first part is ridiculous and easily disproven.

There are good people and there are bad people. Additionally there are good people who sometimes behave badly. Red Pill fails to acknowledge this simple truth.

Basically what’s already been said: like almost any trending ideology it’s inaccurately and unnecessarily reductive.

What do you mean they mean nothing? Everything means something. Even if you don’t get a number, you still a) gained some practice/experience and b) made someone else’s day a little better (which was the whole point, remember?) Listen, it looks like the only thing you consider worthwhile is banging a hot girl. I’m gonna be straight up with you because I’ve met a good number of men like yourself and there’s just no point in beating around the bush or trying to walk you down the garden path. “I can…

I guess the honest answer is its never enough, and it shouldn't be. Improvement is a process, not a destination. I'm in my 40s and happily married and still looking for ways to improve. My question back to you is why should it ever be "enough"? And your whole second paragraph is the whole reason it shouldn't be about "getting women" and instead should be about becoming the best version of yourself: getting a woman isn't going to be as lovely and wonderful as you might think. It depends on who yo…

If you never see the person again, then what?

And I don't think anyone is saying you can't or shouldn't do that, so I'm not sure what this comment meant: "I guess but for how long? I can’t just be alone forever happy." It sounds like you think that so long as you are focusing on being the best person you can be you will also be alone.

I would say, at least at the start, don't even ask for numbers. To dive a little deeper, here's the gist of it: what kind of person do you like better, someone who is trying to add some joy to your day, or someone who is trying to get something from you? That's a rhetorical (I hope) question, but that's the whole idea: become that first guy. You can't do that if the expected end product of every action is, say, getting a number or a date or whatever. You can only do that when the end product you…

What I mean is, you seem to think that if you improve yourself then that precludes you from being able to meet women. Why is that?

A couple thoughts: How do you know no woman has ever found you attractive? I hope you're not basing that just on your experience with dating apps, people's expectations on there can be a bit skewered. I'm sure if dating apps were a thing back in my day I would have crashed and burned. I understand it can be hard to stay optimistic or confident about an experience you haven't yet managed to obtain yet, but I would say the two keys are keeping your expectations realistic and manageable as well as …

I can think of a million answers, but I'll give just a couple here: Spend a certain amount of time doing things for other people. I don't mean donating all your funds and possessions and living like a hermit, I just mean going outside with the constant mindset of "how can I improve other people's days?" and see where that gets you. Spend as much time as you can socializing with the end goal of just learning to be very good at socializing, without expecting anything in return from anyone. Approac…

For the rest of your life, ideally. Who said you have to be alone forever happy, or alone forever period? What is it, do you think, about focusing on improving yourself for yourself that precludes you socializing and/or having sex with women?

True. I don’t think it’s really fair to critique the other side until you’ve heard their thoughts and reasoning as well.

For sure. This is actually why I like debate. Not because I think I can convince someone or help them develop critical thinking skills and logical reasoning, but because it helps me do so.

There are a number of reasons I’d like to do it. For example, I’d like to see for myself what their cognitive processes are, their logic, etc. I’d also like a chance to hone my critical thinking skills.

Imperfect analogy, but when you go to the grocery store, do you have access to every single item on the planet? Of course not, but in what world would we say you don’t have “choice”? Of course you have choice, you just don’t have omnipotent, infinite choices. You can choose from what’s available. You can go elsewhere and see what’s available. You can opt out of choosing altogether. You have plenty of choice.

Meh. I think there are two definitions of respect that often get conflated in these conversations about whether respect is earned or deserved, but I won’t get into that.

I agree. The more varied the responses (so long as they’re all respectful), the better. One of the most helpful concepts in regards to my relationship with my wife was learning to stop treating her as WOMAN and start treating her as an individual.

Meh. I don’t think having a social circle per se is that important. Rather, I think having a social circle provides a better context for developing social skills, which is just an all around good skill. Think about it, which would be more appealing: someone with great social skills who has a small social circle, or someone with poor social skills who has a huge social circle? And yes, I know both types of people.

I would say two things: Talk to happily married people. I say married more so than unmarried just because of the amount of time they have spent with their wives. Talk to them, ask them their secrets and opinions, listen and learn. Read any/all statistics, studies, data or what have you with a critical mind. A big thing I’ve seen in TRP and similarly cult-like communities is an inability to think critically. They see a stat like “80% of divorces are initiated by women” and think “women suck!” The…

Yup. I did this a long, long time ago. I used to be more sympathetic towards men venting about bad experiences with women but it’s gotten to the point where personal frustration has blown up into partisan warfare, and it’s just ridiculous. I mean, maybe I’m biased, but I’ve had my share of bad experiences with some women but it’s never occurred to me to lay that on the shoulders of ALL women.

Absolutely right about this. I’ve done the whole “be mysterious send mixed signals” thing. The long term consequences were never good.

Oddly I agree that dating is complex. But I think red pill makes it overly simplistic (aka “follow these simple rules to get chicks”). The problem is TRP thinks dating is biologically reductive. It’s not.

I agree, good mental health will help you deal with adversity better. While a better conceptualization of “shit test” might help, the problem is that it may lead to you framing behaviors as shit tests when they’re not, and so might lead to unhelpful or even inappropriate responses. Also, if you examine it closely, the “shit test” frame is self centered: it assumes that the behavior is all about seeing how you “perform”. Sometimes, it is, sometimes it isn't, but the problem with having a hammer i…

I mean, there’s nothing really “false” here, I just don’t agree with the overall paradigm/assumptions. First, I’m pretty sure people are actually considerably complex but the internet has latched on to how appealing heuristics are and tries to make everything simplistic. I definitely agree that getting yourself right mentally is a good idea. I don’t know that it necessarily makes you care less (that’s stoicism, which is one way to go about improving your mental health), but will certainly improv…

I wasn’t fully aware of how the model was used, so I’ll concede to #1 readily. For #2: right, the model is more complex for women. But the whole “women have zero arousal” thing is regarding a sexual dysfunction. For #3 sure, but not sure how this relates to your OP.

I can’t really to how it can be/is used but that’s what it was designed for, yes.

Um… I’m guessing you didn’t actually look at the paper itself. The paper is on women’s sexual DYSFUNCTION, not women in general. To be fair, it does state that women’s sexual motivation is more complex than men’s, but not that women feel zero arousal. This is one reason people should never take a journalist’s reading of a scientific paper at face value.

My wife is 36 and I started dating her when she was 25. If I think about it objectively, yeah she was prettier and, in some ways, nicer than she is now, but I would never for a second trade her for anyone else. Why? Because of what we've built together. She's not only been my wife and companion for over a decade, but she is the mother of my children, and she's a fantastic mother at that. I trust her more than almost anyone else, and I know she has my back, and she gets me in ways other people do…
