1	Why I Gave Up a $95,000 Job to Move to an Island and Scoop Ice Cream I meant I spend 25% after tax.	/r/TheRedPill	04/05/15 09:13 PM
9	Why I Gave Up a $95,000 Job to Move to an Island and Scoop Ice Cream Personally, that's what I do. I save 75% of what I make. Most of what I said is based off of observations of how my friends spend their money. I have also met men and women who do the same thing as me (but it's rare). The commonality is usually upbringing. I grew up poor, so I am not attracted to flashy displays of wealth. They did too. I believe that how you were raised is a more important determinant than gender in this case.	/r/TheRedPill	04/05/15 01:55 PM
98	Why I Gave Up a $95,000 Job to Move to an Island and Scoop Ice Cream Working sucks sometimes. For those who are not drawn to power, getting out of the rat race is a smart thing to do, regardless of gender. If anything, I would like to have the audacity to quit my job and move somewhere else. I thought the comparison with a man and how he spends his money to be a bit monochromatic. You speak in such generalizations about the frugality of men and the hedonism of women that you end up being flat out wrong. Being surrounded by co-workers of both genders in my 20's, I…	/r/TheRedPill	04/05/15 03:45 AM
4	Lesson learned: If a woman asks how much you make, break it off ASAP. I find a lot of driven men in the same environment kind of annoying to be around. This is just my experience... But, its too much posturing and trying to out-alpha and speak over one another. If it gets them laid, more power to them, but from a friend perspective, it's exhausting to deal with.	/r/TheRedPill	28/04/15 05:28 PM
3	Lesson learned: If a woman asks how much you make, break it off ASAP. I think our experiences with women are different. Because I have had two of those kinds of relationships in my life. Both of which I broke off after they wanted to marry. I tend to not date people of average intelligence. The women I date are very smart, which could explain why I have a different experience than others.	/r/TheRedPill	28/04/15 05:26 PM
21	Lesson learned: If a woman asks how much you make, break it off ASAP. Not everyone wants a stay-at-home wife type relationship. I'd prefer someone I can talk to that has interesting things they're working towards compared to someone who just listens to me all the time.	/r/TheRedPill	28/04/15 04:38 PM
1	National hiring experiments reveal 2:1 faculty preference for women on STEM tenure track My point is that his is a strawman argument. Professors in the sciences are not incompetent on the whole. They don't just hand out PhD's in math, computer science, and engineering to any woman who applies. They DO reject more qualified men to accept women. Totally, but to say that those who do attain this level are incompetent based on some TRP-approved armchair philosophy, I think, degrades the reputation of this board.	/r/TheRedPill	17/04/15 03:52 PM
2	National hiring experiments reveal 2:1 faculty preference for women on STEM tenure track You can easily make the argument that the women in academia who get their positions due to gender bias are not as competent as the men who perhaps do not get an academic position. You can much more easily make the case that women are thrown jobs within corporations, and given promotions because of some misplaced sense of egalitarianism. You are wrong in assuming they will take any woman in academia in the hard sciences. These professor positions are extremely exclusive. The problem with the blan…	/r/TheRedPill	17/04/15 03:49 PM
-4	National hiring experiments reveal 2:1 faculty preference for women on STEM tenure track That's funny considering that academia is much more difficult than industry. My current job is a joke. Getting a PhD is harder than pushing paper at a corporation/startup. To get a professor position anywhere requires pure dedication for years. You don't become a professor at any halfway decent school by mistake. Sorry to inform you, but women do have brains. And I would bet some female professor from MIT doing "female science" would mentally dominate you. Source: I have worked as an engineer, a…	/r/TheRedPill	16/04/15 11:47 PM
11	The stronger you are, the less anyone cares about you As a former addict, I run into your attitude a lot. I deeply believe in organizations like the one you lampooned. In your quest to claim you never "caved" and never sought attention, you have painted yourself as an even greater victim. Someone who never got appreciated for your struggles. Why am I critical? Because you claim to understand everything about what that person went through based upon the fact that you both got divorced. Addiction is considered mostly hereditary, especially alcoholism…	/r/TheRedPill	16/04/15 09:50 PM
1	You're fatter than you think. Do something about it. I'm 5'11" and 140 pounds, and I don't even have abs. But I have a 28 inch waist naturally. So, a blanket statement like he makes is sort of useless	/r/TheRedPill	15/04/15 12:06 AM
0	Although TRP is apolitical it definitely changes your personal political leanings. Honestly, I identify most with socialism and pacifism (in relation to foreign affairs), and TRP has not changed my fundamental beliefs whatsoever. Though I think the majority here would identify most with an idealized meritocracy perhaps gravitating towards libertarian thinking.	/r/TheRedPill	13/04/15 12:43 AM
13	Men Just Don't Trust Women -- And It's A Huge Problem [HuffPo male hamster comes close to RP truth] Interestingly, polygraphs only work if you believe that they work. Otherwise, you can easily trick it.	/r/TheRedPill	08/04/15 09:32 PM
2	"The big “fuck buddy” lie: the dark story of male sexual desire" - fantastic scientific insights An absolute strawman argument. Cherry-picked anecdotes to invalidate all of science because of a few things which have changed. I'm in grad school in engineering, where corporate bias in particular permeates a lot. But, to say something is incorrect requires substantial evidence. The pressure to publish reduces the integrity of research as well as the tendency to focus on long-term questions which are difficult to summarize in a grant. If someone makes pseudoscientific claims based on some brosc…	/r/TheRedPill	19/03/15 03:29 AM
10	"The big “fuck buddy” lie: the dark story of male sexual desire" - fantastic scientific insights Great points. The amount of pseudoscientific grandstanding which happens on this sub is amazing. If someone claims to have a complete understanding of human interaction they're delusional. All it amounts to is anecdotal evidence.	/r/TheRedPill	17/03/15 10:32 PM
1	My suggestion to all young guys, especially those that are in college. I would disagree. There are probably 10 or so schools which have a huge upper hand in terms of recruitment. In fields such as management consulting, business, and engineering. The people you meet there are extraordinarily well-connected. If anything I think that socializing is only of paramount importance from a "future status" perspective if you're at one of these big name schools and your future network will be the powerful CEO's/government officials of the future. Otherwise busting ass and ac…	/r/TheRedPill	19/02/15 08:09 PM
1	Do you feel women use sexuality to gain an advantage in every aspect of their life? While I agree with this in terms of most women I know. There are exceptions, just like any generalization. I would say a more realistic statement is that a woman will use sexuality if it is possible to confer an advantage by doing so.	/r/TheRedPill	16/02/15 02:48 AM
2	Red Pill Novels Madame Bovary : This quote in particular really works. "He had such things said to him so many times that none of them had freshness to him. Emma was like all his other mistresses; and as the charm of novelty gradually slipped from her like a piece of her clothing, he saw revealed in all its nakedness the eternal monotony of passion, which always assumes the same forms and always speaks the same language. He had no perception-- this man of such vast experience -- of the dissimilarity of feeling …	/r/TheRedPill	15/02/15 08:46 PM
0	Approach anxiety seems to be gone. However, replaced by approach apathy. I find that you may have reached a similar phase to where I'm at. I for one never enjoyed clubs or the bar scene. I definitely don't need the validation that a warm body next to me provides anymore. Having sex with random women may be a sport, but it is not the most interesting one, in my opinion. Perhaps day after day it grows boring to sleep with randoms. It truly is the same pattern of seduction every time. I don't appreciate LTR's either, so I have found that self improvement in forms of lea…	/r/TheRedPill	15/02/15 08:33 PM
9	"Nice guy" since becoming assertive I absolutely agree. I find that maybe to some groups of people, bluntness is a rare quality. If I am telling people when I disagree in a calm and direct way people really appreciate honesty. Especially if this person is not used to being told the truth. I would say the groups where this way of communication has shown the most gains is with higher level people in my corporation and women. I told my boss at work that I no longer appreciated my job and would quit in a month if things did not improv…	/r/TheRedPill	15/02/15 08:23 PM
