Insecure people lie, gender has little if anything to do with it.

She got bored. She has other/better/less complicated things going on than fucking you and she's devoting her time elsewhere. If all you're offering is the occasional fuck and she's interested in something more than that it's not what you did, it's who you are.

I'm sure they do (though I doubt they think about it very hard because it's so insignificant to overall SMV) because, in most cases, attention from the opposite sex in any form contributes to SMV.

So what if she's aware of it. It's not some deep, dark secret to be ashamed of. Nor should the "game" change simply because everyone knows they're playing. She just called me and said that she noticed if she pulls back or is distant that I will pull back and be distant and or go out / flirt with other girls. Your response? "Well no shit. Why wouldn't I if you're unpleasant to be around? Have you also noticed people put on coats when it's cold? It's a lot harder to make people like you than disli…

There are negative reasons why women surround themselves with cadres of men, yes, agreed upon. Sure, it's possible this girl has extreme daddy issues and is centering her adult life around the quest to finally quench her desire for male validation. Or, hope you're sitting down for this one, she just prefers doing shit a lot of dudes like doing too. Think about it - what's the alternative? She gives up hobbies she likes to instead go do things where the gender ratio is more in her favor. Hmm. Tha…

I've owned bars for years and that's a uniquely strong reaction unless Well Dressed Man had been sniffing around earlier and just wasn't taking a polite hint to go pound sand. If that truly was her initial response, I'd smile and say "no problem. Hope your bad day looks up" and walk away. Any comments (short of an apology) beyond that would be ignored.

Move along. You got a consolation BJ because she doesn't want you to hate her for nexting you. You might get another one just to keep you sniffing around, but that hardly seems worth the trouble.

Treat her professionally and as you would any other coworker. Review your workplace's HR policy on inter-office relationships if they have one, and if it gets brought up to you stress that you prefer your personal affairs be left personal.

Leave a few of the details vague earlier in the planning process. Settle on a date and an approximate time, but don't nail down everything: "Sunday evening sounds good - I've got some plans earlier in the day so I'll text in as we get a bit closer to let you know exactly when and where." "I'm not sure what I'll be up for this far in advance, so you'll hear from me in a few days when I settle on a place." Now you've got a reason to call/text and update your date, escalate a little and not sound n…

I think you're misinterpreting by applying some pretty serious personal bias here - there's no aggression in my statement whatsoever. Sometimes people get busy, they can't make a date, and it actually is too bad because the event would have been fun and it would have been fun to share it with them. If anything, it's a pretty cheerful reply. As for not leading, I'm still making my expectations known and stating what needs to be done to meet them. Responding with a single letter followed me ting s…

Whatever wording you settle on, don't wait until the tab comes at the end of the evening to discuss it - at that point the situation becomes an issue for not only you and your date but your unsuspecting server. If she can't or won't pay they're now dragged into the drama. Set the expectation when you get there, let the bartender know in front of your date that the tabs are separate. "We're on separate tabs if you need to know that upfront or we can divide it up at the end if it's easier for you.…

♂ Point for bar manners I wish more people considered. (Bar owner, here.) Trading off rounds is fine if everyone is drinking similarly priced alcohol. If he's ordering 15 buck a pour scotch and she's having a light beer, whatever, someone's getting hosed. If you split up the tab yourselves at the end no one is getting shorted. Or, ask the server (if they're open to it) to keep separate tabs, period. Don't wait to discuss this stuff at the end of the evening.

While that's a solid little bumper sticker quip, we're not talking about turning your life over to the direction of this girl - we're discussing letting her know that when she puts you off it's her responsibility to reciprocate the offer of a date. If you're going take the metaphor that literally, you're going to have a bad time.

Mysterious is one thing, being obscure in terms of planning and logistics is another. If she texts she's busy, replay with "too bad, you'll be missing a good time. I'll leave it to you to plan for next time." Now she knows the ball is in her court. Many women (traditional especially) expect/prefer a man to initiate and will wait for you to make the move even if you've done so once and they've had to turn you down. Make it clear.

Men and women both live life looking out for their own best needs - women merely accomplish that goal differently. There's nothing inherently bad about that, the only downside is when you give up your best needs to play into theirs and the relationship become lopsided. I own bars and restaurants - I see the worst of the worst on a daily basis and it all boils down to this: you're treated how you allow others to treat you. You don't have to be angry, my man, you don't even have to work that hard;…

If you want to have sex with her, and she wants to have sex with you, I'm failing to see the problem here. If she asks you to do something you don't want to do, don't do it. If she asks you to do something you do want to do, do it. If she ghosts now and again, live your life in the meantime. Don't make this a bigger deal than it is.

All that's happening here is two people who aren't strong enough to pull the trigger and kill something that's bad for the both of them... You all are doing nothing but prolonging the agony of a breakup. When I was 16 or 17 my buddy and I were driving behind a pickup that hit a deer. We got out, checked that the driver was okay and then went over to where the deer was laying in the ditch. The thing was busted up, man - mangled beyond repair but still alive.

Just ask. Why make this more complicated than it needs to be? When people of the opposite sex like each other enough to be friends, there's naturally the possibility of more. In cases where there's not, the situation becomes a curiosity. If she asks why you're curious or tries to make you feel bad/insecure for asking, I'd be wondering why so strong a reaction?

Congratulations are in order here - you've found women who're interested in more than being a notch on some man whore's bedpost. Despite your current troubles, that's actually a good thing. You just need to switch up your game a touch, my man.

RedPill isn't about removing another person's right to choose - it's about choosing what's right for yourself and attracting quality people to travel that path with you. If your GF isn't interested in what you have to offer, better off for the both of you if she excuses herself.

I suspect I'm older than most of the guys here, and even in my years of dating, spinning plates, etc., I've never experienced a single situation you're describing. Where are you finding these women? The back walk behind a bowling alley?? Don't want to pay for a date? Let her know up front you're splitting. Escalate before you head to dinner so you can gauge if she's interested in something physical with you before you head out. Go to public places where, if she does flip out, you can remain calm…

As TRP is mainly a sexual strategy, when you go to insult it the obvious jab is right at the carnal success of the followers. And let's face it, that's bound to be a raw nerve because of the number of men who come here to solve the very issue of incompetency regarding opposite sex relationships in the first place.

They hook up with you to "win" the breakup. They're essentially moving on right in front of their ex's face. As a bonus, the past boyfriend can't chalk you up as some loser his girl downgraded to - he picked you as a friend, after all. Checkmate. You're known territory. You're safe. Your status as a boyfriend's friend makes you an orbiter by default of the social situation. Why put in the effort to pluck a brand new man out of the air when there you are cruising nearby in the friend zone? She's …

Bar and restaurant owner here. Out of the tens of thousands of interactions I've seen, the most successful are little more than a quick, relatable pass. Find something to connect with her over, even if (Hell, especially if) it's simple. Is she wearing a Yankees cap? What's she drinking? What stands out about her? Then make a casual, quick entrance that leaves you both the option to next out fast. For her, that makes the approach more comfortable and less like she's being cornered, for you it's a…

When behavior ceases to yield results, it changes. Best case scenario, enough people see the light to encourage a shift in the overall social dynamic. Worst case scenario, a few people are happy and pursuing lives they're pleased with and the rest, well, aren't.

Lack of accountability = not good. Lack of accountability fueled by alcohol = even worse. When you're in a relationship you represent not only yourself but your partnership, and if she thinks so little of your coupling that she represents it like a booze fueled idiot, I'd be going my own way.

I prefer the straightforward approach myself, simply because it cuts to the core of the girl's personality and gives me an almost instantaneous answer as to whether or not I continue to want to spend time. I had a girl respond to me the same way yours did when I called her on using her phone during a date. Next. No accountability. On the other hand is the experience I had with a girl I had been seeing for a couple of months. She works around guys primarily, and as a result has picked up a very b…

Unicorn implies perfection - no woman is perfect, and neither are you. There are simply people out there busting their ass to be decent and successful and better than the average and you had better be doing the same.

Sorry bud, they aren't tranquilized, tagged and in a database. They're free range. But you'll increase your odds by avoiding bars and parties and heading out to places where people with actual interests group up. You're in college - there are such things as classes, study groups, the lawn in front of the SUB where everyone sits out and studies when the weather is nice, whatever.

She's been your ex for over a year, and that year plus has been drama free. Quit thinking about what or who she's doing, because clearly she doesn't care about what or who you're doing either. Ignore it, go on about your business.

These women exist, absolutely. They simply exist in such small quantities and are in such high demand they have their pick of hordes upon hordes of men. That's where RP comes in - you're gonna have to rise to the top. Waiting for her isn't an option, my man. She's being pursued while you're sitting at home being reluctant. I'm by no means telling you to toss time and money at anything with two X chromosomes, but when you see something/someone you want you're going to have to have your A game on.

While it's true you don't owe anyone anything in the form of an explanation, sidestepping the obvious can very easily come across as dishonesty or shame. Both considerably more Beta attributes than being cheated on. Why create that veil of suspicion? Great people and fantastic partners have been cheated on.

Not at all. It's a strategy to set realistic expectations. When you're not basing your decisions on fairy tales, everyone is healthier and happier. TRP can easily be warped and abused, but so can most things. If you're an asshole with TRP, you were probably an asshole before TRP. Simple.

While blind faith in anything is a poor idea, there's a difference between the occasional check in and becoming your LTRs parole officer. Where's the fun and enjoyment of being with someone you have to babysit at that level?

Don't make it more complex than it needs to be: "it'd be fun to see you all, but I didn't get an invite." If your friends ask why tell them the same thing you posted above, "I didn't keep in touch as much, I suppose." Shrug.

I don't see why the situation has to be either/or, bro or plate when there's plenty of room in in between. Take what you know about people and relationships and use it. TRP is a sexual strategy, sure, but the info extends to non sexual interactions as well.

You're overthinking it. If someone has the poor taste to flip you shit, simply smile and say, "yeah, it's terrible being one of the few guys surrounded by hordes of educated, employable, and driven young ladies. TERRIBLE. You'd better steer clear, I'll take this one for the team."

If this woman compliments your life and adds to it, as opposed to sucking energy out of it, be with her. RedPill isn't cookie cutter - there are guys who use it to game, to spin plates, whatever. There are guys who use it to maximize their success as individuals, and others who use it to form strategy around LTRs and marriages. Work it to get what you want, not what a bunch of guys on the Internet want for themselves.

Worry less about time frame and more about context. As the conversation presents itself, and it will, let your thoughts on the topic be known. And don't be that literal, wait until she spells out the question in no uncertain terms guy, either - if she brings up goals for future or expresses her own interest in marriage in any way, tell her it's not your gig.

You're missing the forest for the trees here - even if she wasn't specifically studying, what you were doing could still be considered annoying. A casual, humorous response and then laying off would have derailed her attempt at getting attention if that's what she truly wanted. As it stands, you not only gave her attention, you gift wrapped it and delivered to her doorstep via singing telegram.

Actions not words, and it seems like her actions make her out to be the type of person you're interested in even if you didn't initially trust her words. Give it another go - you've survived without her just fine for a year so if she's not into it it's not like you've lost anything but the uncertainty. My only other advice is don't go into it with a "so I was wrong, can I try again?" attitude. Run it the same way that piqued her interest in the first place.

If she's serious, this is not a girl you're equipped to be around. Period. You tell this girl her threats are something you're taking seriously, and you're going to call (insert friend/family member/law enforcement here) and then you follow through.

While I do think mental illness is over diagnosed by people who have no business labeling it as such (no, you don't have Aspergers, you're just awkward), I've not seen it or its treatment methods completely dismissed by RP. The only seriously bumpkin level commentary I've been subjected to on the topic has been from a woman who singlehandedly diagnosed a struggling new mother as suffering from "asshole-itis" based on a single Reddit post. She advised going to see a doctor only results in women b…

Women certainly can be, but there's no inherent advantage to it like there is for a guy. The genders play to their strengths. Humor, for example. Jokes and funny stories make someone out to be an ass - if the humor is self-deprecating a woman runs the risk of losing a degree of sexual appeal and composure (which is far more valuable than "cool" any day), yet if the joke is on someone else she runs the risk of being perceived as mean or as a bitch because nothing hurts the male ego more than a ch…

Because when you realize you've been acting foolishly, the natural reaction is to blame the ones you've been foolish in front of. People generally assume most everyone around them thinks like them or can be convinced to think like them. When they don't, it's offensive and hurtful. We can't possibly be wrong, so we point fingers at those who just don't fall into line for us. Bitterness is ego saving behavior when, in truth, the only helpful reaction is to adapt.

While it may not be a "turn on" in the traditional sense, there are distinct positives to this type of woman: considerably less likely you've come across your garden variety gold-digger if a woman has assets and stability of her own making. She's not going to eyeball you as if you're a walking ATM machine. there's a level of intelligence that typically comes bundled in with a successful woman.

If you've got concrete evidence of your friend's fiancé cheating or otherwise plotting to do him harm, out with it.

She translates women's motivations very well and in a balanced way because she has an understanding and sympathy for both sides of the fence.

Everyone is driven in large part by biological necessities so, yeah, why get offended? Recognize and use that, and be impressed when others recognize and use it to.

First of all, women are not idiots. They behave in certain ways because it gets them results. When the results fail to occur, they adapt or move on.

While I'm sure there are plenty of folks who love and care about you, why would I, a complete stranger, take notice?

I'm not sure what the question is here... You two have a sexual relationship - you may not be having sex, but you grab her tits and ass, she sends you sexy pictures, so on and so forth.

It sounds as if you're basing your "Alphaness" off your girlfriend's attitude rather than your own.

I'm not saying she had those feelings and emotions with anyone else. Not at all. The point is, you had them with her. Hence the paradox - on one hand, you had a great experience. On the other, you're trying to convince yourself there's something bad about this girl because she has a higher partner count than you. Your brain is trying to make the exact same person good and bad, and that takes awhile to work through. Basically, you're going to have to reconcile your dualing opinions of this person…
