What sort of Mens' Retreat was this? I miss stuff like this from when I was in the Boy Scouts as a kid and it would be cool to find something like this again. Unfortunately though I only hear about church groups doing stuff like this, and I'm definitely not interested in anything with religion in it.

I agree with the other posters on how you should think, but from a practical view I have to add this. Salsa dancing is really easy. My wife and I took lessons on salsa, meringue, and some other stuff that I forgot because it was country crap. I've never been a dancer and am not a very coordinated person. You should be able to figure out salsa without a lot of effort in the same class as her. Granted, you won't be doing the show-off kind of stuff but salsa dancing is really just memorizing a patt…

Facebook is essentially two things: 1) Self-Marketing. This is where you limit your content, but only things that portray you in a good light toward your audience. Who is your audience? Whoever is on your friend list. Don't let anything show up as public unless absolutely necessary, and don't post to it on a regular basis. For example, I've got a few lists, including: relatives, old friends/acquaintances, and current friends. You can set up groups and post things to each of those as needed. That…

Does this not set a bad tone for the day? Like, people will be able to read that in your body language etc and be like "what's with the grumpy fucker?" ? That's kind of the point with this statement in the quote: "No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him." Don't let others drag you into those negative emotions. That's why there is a lot of talk about being stoic around here. I think the best example is the (fake) buddhist story The gift of anger. You …

I would say a qualified yes. The reason I am hesitant to whole-heartedly support opening the floodgates is because I occasionally see some crackpot comments that would probably get worse if the topic of the subreddit were expanded. Imagine new posts like, "the red pill about the moon landing being fake" or "the red pill about how Bush blew up the WTC on 9/11" drowning out the actually useful information. Preventing that sort of trash from popping up would be my biggest concern. (Note that I pick…

Except that Mexico has a higher obesity rate than the US. I don't recall where I saw this, but I believe the obesity rate in Mexico started to skyrocket right after NAFTA passed. The processed foods that we eat became much more common there, WalMart opened there, more fast food restaurants opened, and jobs changed from being more farm work to becoming more industrial in some areas. And also, Mexican homestyle cooking is heavy on carbs and fat because it was meant to fuel people working on farms …

Not to go off on a tangent, but I wanted to offer you something to consider that worked for my family. My daughter was a little pudgy. But she's under 12 years old. So instead of trying to get her to lose weight, I started actively monitoring what she was eating, and adding up the calories. At this point, I think it's very much that my kids' diets changed as a result of my wife working, so adding up the calories is going to be key for sure. For example, breakfast for them used to be a small glas…

I'm in a similar situation, but perhaps a bit further than you in the "process". For the record, I have three small children, however my wife put on most of the weight AFTER the third was born. First, you have to improve yourself to a point where you can put things like going to the gym, eating healthy, etc in auto-pilot. You should never stop improving yourself, but you should reach a point where you can start focusing less on improvements to you as an individual and expand to include improveme…

All around us though are close-to-obese hispanic men, women, and children. It was so disgusting. I know a girl from Mexico who was hot while she was down there, then went to live in the U.S. for a few years and ballooned up to a crazy weight. She went back down to Mexico, and lost the weight and looked good again. The native American ancestry isn't made for a U.S. style poor diet, and as we export more of our shitty food south, we see it having a bigger negative impact on them.

Right now they are just may favorite band to play on the guitar. Same here. They're the reason I own a ZVex Fuzz Factory pedal, although I use my Earthquaker Hoof Fuzz pedal more often. The intro to Plug In Baby is still one of my favorite riffs to bust out at random times.

Yes and no. I'm mainly interested in the "music" and not the lyrics, but even the lyrics take place in a fantasy scenario where the artist gets to share their emotions in an exaggerated state. In some cases, songs going to absurd levels of weakness can help you realize how you may relate to that weakness to a lesser degree and improve your life. One of my favorite bands is Muse -- featured on the Twilight movies, have songs about failed relationships and oppressive governments. Even their most a…

It is really YOU being the more disciplined one in the whole whose, and everyone else adjusting to that, and improving their behavior. This is where true authority comes from. This is how things have been going, and her relationship with me has improved as a result. It's just that instead of using me as her "emotional tampon" she gets more frustrated with the kids now. NO. Don't do that. If you do, she will fight YOU about that and take the anger at you "YOu can't tell me where to go!!!!". It is…

Holy shit this is some great advice. My wife comes from a culture where people are very "passionate" and loud, and I'm always trying to shut that shit down when she gets mad with the kids. The way you described it is a great technique that I've kind of done by stepping in, but not giving her a "timeout" instead. I'll just start sending her to our room when she yells at the kids and see how that goes.

I try to cultivate between me and my male friends, my "honor group." It is good to have friends, and in order to cultivate a real friendship between people you need these values. But that doesn't mean you have to extend those things to the random on the street who you've never met before. I like to treat trust and respect as a gradient rather than a black and white thing. I will respect some random guy on the street enough that I'm not going to push him down because he's standing in my way, for …

I think a lot would say Don Draper from Mad Men. I love the show Mad Men, but don is far from alpha. He's great at seducing women and influencing people, but in reality he's cowardly, flaky, and nobody really likes him in the long run. Roger Sterling is more alpha, in my opinion, although he has his bad moments of onitis and such.

The second question, and this one may come as a bit of a shock, is do you add value to her life? If not, then this is likely part of the problem. This is a big part of the problem, and where the whole "beta bucks" idea comes into play. Should you contributing financially to your family be something you get a pat on the back for? Is your wife going to be like, "Oh honey, you had 7% of your paycheck automatically deducted to put into your 401K for our future, you're so kind to me!" No. This is whe…

I think I get what you're saying, but there's a few specific concepts that apply, at least in my mind. 1) You live your own life. 2) You have a relationship with your wife. 3) You have a relationship with your children. 4) You have a family. Obviously, you need to make time for yourself and do all the other things for yourself that you already know about. Beyond that, you apply yourself to your relationship with your wife as a next level, giving her a priority above the children. That doesn't me…

I think there's another way to deal with this. I have three children, two in preschool and one in elementary. We have friends that are teachers and my wife is currently a teacher's aid but will be quitting at the end of this school year and will be volunteering a lot where my kids go to school. For us, we've been able to manage the school system by simply being involved as much as possible.

"Haven't played since I got married," came the response. What the hell, man? What. The. Hell. Wow...that makes no sense. It would be like hanging pictures of all your ex girlfriends in their prime to remind you of what you no longer have as your wife ages. You could use it to your advantage I guess, if he lets you play them and you like one maybe you can get a good deal on it. I guess it's a different mentality but my wife encourages me to play and actually likes me having interests and hobbies.

I'm also fairly introverted, but it comes across in different ways depending on who is observing me. The first of this is that I am aloof and carefree, and the other is that I am simply uninterested in other people. Neither are 100% true but there is some truth to each. I'd suggest that you start by at least thinking up things to say to random people but don't say them. Maybe spend a week mentally approaching people that you see in public. e.g. you're in Starbucks and there's an attractive woman…

My biggest hobby is playing guitar. I'm not great, but I'm good enough that non-musicians compliment me on my ability and my musician friends tell me that I'm improving. Last year, I was considering buying a $3,000 guitar that I really wanted. I decided it wouldn't be financially prudent to do at this time and got a cheaper one (my fourth guitar.) Recently, my five year old son expressed interest in playing guitar. Before my dad died he bought a cheap little "First Act" acoustic guitar that he s…

I can't go through life being the geek. That depends on how you define it. I hate to go to popular media but it's the easiest way to look at it. In the Iron Man movies Tony Stark is a "ladies man" because he's charming, successful, and charismatic. At the same time, he's very technical and great at what he works with. The character is balanced and the two sides of the personality allow even greater results. The socially adept leader might not even have the same grades as me, but if he can inspir…

What is it with baristas? I made a "friend" who was one as well that got very flirty with me as I went there, then started asking me out, giving me free drinks, etc. When she finally had hooked me enough to hang out outside of Starbucks some, she was very interested in me but I could also tell that she was looking for a sugar daddy. In any case, being married and preferring to stick to my vows, I didn't take things beyond friendship, despite her attempts. Looking back I'm impressed, because this…

We come here where we're all being looked down upon already.

Time and time again this has been proven to be absolute bullshit. Circumcision does not reduce the chance of STDs Can you provide some evidence? All the mainstream sources I've seen have indicated otherwise. nor does it reduce the chance of penile or testicular cancer That's not a claim that I've made.

I'm in the same boat as you. It hasn't had a negative effect on my life whatsoever, and although I don't know if it was known when I was born I like the fact that it reduces the odds of getting STDs. I don't doubt that some men have problems, it is a surgery and it's very possible to botch surgeries. However I'm glad it was done to me (successfully, obviously.)

This is an interesting post and I look forward to seeing the rest of the series. I see parallels between this and yoga, which focuses a lot on balancing mind, body, and spirit/soul, but this takes out the religious wooOOoo stuff. In fact, I'd argue that mindfulness meditation is a great way to build up that pillar of emotional self-control.

You could flip this argument around in other directions too. Most CEOs, politicians, etc. aren't men in their prime of life. They're primarily shriveled up low testosterone bitter old men. They've played the game and have gotten to a point where their primary skill isn't doing things, but rather manipulating other people to do things. Reading books like "48 Laws of Power" isn't really an old man's game. Sun Tzu wrote the "Art of War" for someone actively leading an army, not an emperor. So here'…

Personally, I hate the internet when it's presidential election time, and usually have to take a break. Both parties are good and bad in different ways, and which you prefer depends on which issues are more important to you. Both parties are extremely corrupt and just pursuing the interests of people who don't care what you or I think. There are many issues that one party does better. For example, climate change is a major concern to me, which only the Democrats seem to be grounded in reality on…

I imagine that a lot of the older women in your or your wife's family are like more obese Paula Deens, but with a big mouth and imposing on everyone constantly.

The only problem with that situation was my guilt, so when I got rid of that, she naturally stopped bitching about how I don't help her around the house (which was less than I imagined to begin with). This is definitely the key. I've also had to learn to live by the adage that if you do something once it's a favor, if you do it more, it becomes an obligation.

This is beyond logic, so I would proverbially pat her on the head. I actually laugh about stuff like that but to her they're two completely different things. I've come to understand that to her, symbolism is more important than reality, so I have found ways to deal with it most of the time. It's sad though, because she is starting to develop tendencies that her mother has in that category.

She won't be able to wrap me up in beta tasks if I'm not slothing around. Plus, my wife will see me doing my manly duties and will naturally be inspired to step up her womanly duties. This has been a tricky area for me, because I get met with responses like, "Why would you do that instead of just paying the yard guy to take care of it for you?" Alternatively, if I reverse it and offer to pay for a maid since my wife has been working the past several months, she always says no and that she can ha…

You create the world you wish to live in. If you wish to live in a world with less suffering and problems around you, giving time and money to charity can be a way to bring about positive change. That being said, a lot of charities try to guilt you into doing more than you would like. Never do that. Also be sure that any charity you give to is worthy and not just seeking to waste your money on things that you don't agree with.

"Proving" shit to your wife validates whatever stupid shit she says.

As a parent, I see this as a huge problem with life in general for people growing up today.

I agree with what everyone else is saying here, but there's another side to it that makes it a much more tricky thing. In the eyes of some people, "I'm sorry" means, "I apologize". In the eyes of other people, it means, "I sympathize with you." You know how Canadians have a stereotype of saying, "I'm sorry" all the time?

Today, since Marriage 2.0 has made men into jokes of their former selves, many employers have turned that logic on its head. An unmarried man comes with no baggage and often times less debt than a married man. How can you keep someone like that around?

As an employer, you'll want someone who is married because they are easier to pin down and they are less likely to jump into consulting or something where they can take r…

It probably depends on why she doesn't have friends. As others have mentioned, I wouldn't directly offer to help her with this, but I'd analyze why she doesn't have friends and if possible, indirectly do something to give her an opportunity. In the case of my wife, she didn't have friends outside of the spouses of my coworkers because I was a traveling consultant. Now that we've settled down, she has more close friends than I do (which I need to work on because it gets old hanging out with the s…

I've had a lot of trouble with this in my relationship. However, you have to learn to interrupt her in a way that isn't rude (e.g. wait for her to take a breath, and start filling in your side of the conversation) and bring it around to where you have control over the topic. Here's an example: Her: "Ugh! I have to go to a meeting with this coworker who tries to sabotage me!" You: "Oh, that's terrible. I hate when people at work create problems like this.

Thanks for the compliment.

That's how I try to handle it as well. If it can't end on a positive note, I let it be positive for me and get away from her physical presence if she chooses to not follow my lead.

For me, I see this as a two-part effort in any comfort test: 1) Demonstrate that you understand her feelings, and have considered them as valid. 2) Don't share in those feelings yourself, but don't judge her harshly for them. Where many men go wrong is in thinking they have to join their wives in a pity party or become "emotional tampons." Instead, the goal should be to let her get her feelings out there and join back into your solid frame as a result of her emotional release. My wife hates her …

I am a very open minded person. I will listen to anyone lunatics or kings and judge what they have to say based on observation and evidence. I'm the same way, and that's one of the reasons I engage these folks every once in a while because I don't understand how they think. If the topic is something like religion or politics I try to understand why someone I disagree with thinks the way they do, and most of the time I can understand where they're coming from.

I've never actually met someone who was openly into cuckolding, and I have trouble seeing any appeal to the idea to begin with. It seems natural for men to be territorial with women they are in relationships with, even if it's a relative or someone you knew from childhood that you aren't physically attracted to. So my ignorance of the matter already stated, I have a theory that it's not so much that a greater percentage of men are into it than before. Instead, it's that more women are comfortabl…

Saying the word "piss" outside of a circle of friends sounds uneducated to me. Your words are how people come to know you. My kids get in trouble for using words like stupid or idiot. Piss would be an immediate spanking. On the other part, I have potty trained my kids.

Bitch about the fact that the next president of the USA will likely be female I don't want to get into a political debate here, but this idea amuses me more than concerns me. The reason is because obviously, any woman who becomes president is going to have very masculine behaviors.

Even if you were unable to have children of your own, there's really no shame in the "raising someone else's child" aspect of it. Where there is a problem is in how it comes to happen in most cases. Think of the stereotypical 1950's "the new baby sure looks a lot like the milk man" scenario.

It's well known that smart students are bored in school because they aren't challenged. I think there are always exceptions to rules, and this may be one. The only reason students would be bored is because 1) they are forced into doing a task that is quickly done or too menial for them, and 2) they will get into trouble if they do anything else. However, that being said, most of the people reading this are not restricted in that way so I think OP's statement applies.

Socialism doesn't work on a large scale largely because of the "free rider problem." Human behavior is largely governed by incentives. When people are incentivized to rely on social services rather than maximize their productive potential the economic grows weaker.

This is exactly on point. We live in a capitalist system - which by definition has winners and losers. However, our biggest policy flaw is that we attempt to "fix" the game so to speak so as to prevent losers from occurring (think overabundance of college loans, etc.) rather than simply providing a safety net. In doing so we create a system of dependence. Another great example of this is Obamacare. Instead of either saying, "you're on your own for medical care" or "it's something the government …

Socialism works only in places where every single participant agrees to force it to work, at all costs.

I'm not voting on this either way because I feel neutral about it, but if I were to downvote my thoughts would be that it's not very specific, and is a very subjective topic. It might be better if there were pictures of sample faces with various types of hair to make the examples more clear, and maybe a guide for men to know more specifically what works best for their face structure, age, and hair types.

For one, the fact that some men might not want to be restricted by gender roles, or arbitrary notions of masculinity, has very little to do with men feeling inferior(and, if they do, they have every right not to want to be judged on ancient non-sense that no longer really applies to the modern day).

A lot of gamers are basically replacing how men used to get together to play cards. Granted, some take gaming to an unhealthy place, but that is just a personality flaw not anything new.

I am learning to play guitar. I suggest something like that for your evening hobby. Also, at least for my wife and I we tend to have sex after sleeping a bit. If she is very tired from the day, an hour or two later she should be rested enough for sex. I don't know how it compares to your situation but I suggest experimenting to find out what works best.

Living in Houston, I see the latin community really split into two classes. The poor lower class are simple people similar to either your typical country Americans or poor urban blacks depending on where they came from. On the other hand, you have middle and upper class Mexicans coming here and are basically indistinguishable from white Americans until they speak. So from my perspective the middle/upper class that is forming here is much more traditional in their middle class values. To Hispanic…

What happens if a guy pushes you or spits in your face while you're on a date? There's a difference between words and physical actions. I understood your original post as someone talking trash. I don't know what the law is but my understanding is that pushing you or spitting on you is assault. Most of the time, really you could just walk away from those types of people. You have to really come across a fucking psycho that would try and follow you and escalate a situation after you completely bit…

I suggest watching British TV and movies to build up your vocabulary. You can out-class them by using insults that will basically mean the same thing, but make them look stupid for using the word "bitch" all the time. For example, you could make a conversation go like this: Bully: What are you doing, bitch? You: with an only slightly irritated expression Nothing you are capable of comprehending, you rotund ball of shit. Why don't you fuck off and go sit on the toilet for an hour crying like you …

Your anger over being disrespected is a form of insecurity. You know the truth about you, who cares what others think? I'd suggest reading up on buddhism. In particular something I read that may have come from TRP is a story about Buddha and the gift of anger. For the record, it's a retelling of a real story of buddhism that makes more sense for us in the west, but it's a good one. So that being said, you obviously take anger from others as a personal attack on you. When it bothers you, their at…

I guess this is why I'm disagreeing so vehemently with you on this point. To most younger guys (probably), the personality of someone has no bearing on their sexual attractiveness, although it will have an effect on their relationship potential. That makes sense. The other thing is I had some bad experiences with women back when I was younger. There was a girl I went to high school with that stalked me (e.g. trying to run my car off the road, threatening to shoot me, etc.) I also made a few mist…

Hospital nurses reek of bacteria they pick up at work. It sticks to their skin, gets in your bedsheets and pretty soon you reek of it too. Staph aureus, pseudomonas, every foul smelling thing you can imagine. I have a pretty good immune system and I could only imagine that making it better. That being said, I've never actually dated a nurse.

That is absolute bullshit. Do not tell me that you would not bang a really boring girl who looks like Kate Upton (or Jessica Alba, or whoever's your physical 10/10). If there was no conversation beforehand, then yes I absolutely would bang any hot chick. However, if I started out in talking to her and it was like having a conversation with a cow, it would actually turn me off to varying degrees. There are attractive women who are famous who I absolutely would not sleep with. Jenny McCarthy, for …

Kate Upton could be the most boring person in the world and I'm sure you'd still want to bang the shit out of her. That's the thing though, she is automatically interesting as a result of her fame. I'm sure she's traveled the world and done a lot of interesting things, so I can imagine I'd have something to talk with her about in the refractory period.

My parents (mom and stepdad) basically made me into a major beta as a kid, teen, and young adult. My dad was kind of a mixed bag, as he was sort of red pill up front but would be very beta at the end of relationships. That being said, if I look at what I could have done differently, I would have hooked up more often since I had many wasted opportunities. Some friends and I used to sneak out of our houses to get into trouble. I used to drink as a teenager. I probably could have gotten away with m…

If fucking hot women is your ultimate life goal then you will be disappointed when you achieve it I'd say that it's more important that the woman be into you at a deeper level than just a drunken hookup. I'm not talking about making a LTR necessarily, but for example a nurse who rarely goes out to clubs who worships you is going to be much better in bed than a drunk barfly who clubs all the time and hundreds of men have been with. At the end of the day, if someone's goal is just to sleep with a …

It's weird with kids man. Both parents need to give a lot more of themselves than possible and it never feels like enough. The problem in a lot of cases is that one spouse goes overboard and pressures the other to as well. I always tell my wife to let the kids make their own breakfast or to let them figure out what to play instead of always trying to come up with activities so they don't get bored. She ends up better off as a result of doing less for them. It isn't about being selfish really, yo…

Heh, yeah someone just brought cake into the office. I've been pretty strictly eating below maintenance, so I was feeling shitty because I went over my calorie limit for the day (or rather will, friday night beers for dinner). One of my dieting strategies has been to plan for "failures" to happen, which makes it easier to control them. I don't have a sweet tooth like my wife does (which I'm trying to help break her of) but if there was a bacon-wrapped steak stuffed with bratwurst and covered in …

Ugh, I just had cake for breakfast. Feeling shitty now. If it was leftover birthday cake or something like that, and this isn't a normal breakfast for you, don't sweat it. A part of seizing the day is to enjoy each moment, and occasionally doing something unusual that you like. But on another note, apart from the fact that Bruce died young, what is so bad about his life? He maybe enjoyed his job, loved his kids, and spent his free time kicking back, hanging out with friends and drinking a few be…

It's kind of heartbreaking. We see these people every day. They drive their Camry to work, back home, eat poorly, watch sports as their "hobby", and just...exist. Ya, they're "living" life, and they aren't a burden, per se, but you're right...no ambition, no hunger (literally and figurativly!)

Yeah it's click bait but it is having an effect on development. If it continues unopposed, it will be interesting to see what the end result will be. Two of the major things keeping American males docile seem to be violent video games and watching professional sports. What would all those men do who rely on those as a substitute for their lives?

The market for games, especially indie games, tend to be populated by scrawny nerds who would gladly bend over backwards to appease women. This is something I don't understand. I grew up playing video games my as long as I can remember. They're fun, but a lot of these indie games that I've tried are fairly boring when compared to mainstream games. Are the indie games able to really make that much money on these things? I admit that I enjoyed goofing off with Angry Birds in the office when it fir…

You probably won't want to but read a little bit of games journalism. Game journalists peddle SJW bullshit like crazy. Not enough "strong" female roles in games, too revealing armor, not enough women in development. I've been to some of those sites, and as far as I can tell those articles are clickbait designed to get people to look at ads. It's a way of creating an echo chamber within the SJW groups so they pass around hyperlinks to their friends on Twitter and Facebook to drum up activity, as …

The videogames industry as of now (specifically the indie scene) has been one of the deepest breeding grounds for some of the most rampant Social Justice and radical feminism you have ever seen. I don't play video games as much as I used to, but I'm curious what leads you to this conclusion. From my perspective, the core gaming market is still men, although TRP may help explain why the average video gamer is a bored man in his 20's - 40's playing extremely macho games like Call of Duty or Grand …

Don't buy her trinkets, give her experiences. Part of the trick is to make sure she knows you are interesting. Maybe a trip or taking a mutually interesting class together would work? Even a date to something unusual would be good. I was just telling my wife about a burlesque bar that I want to take her to. Something like that could be fun.

It's not rigged, but it's a zero-sum game with a very small number of winners. I assume with HFT and the like, the rest of us are kind of screwed since we're second-class traders at best. My advice is to focus on making money through earnings rather than the market. You mean through dividends? For example, something I've held onto for years specifically because of good dividends despite it being a piece of crap is ARR. However, I've always taken the money and put it into other stocks because it'…

I find that good exercise is the best way to avoid and cure anger. I recently started jogging (outside, not on a treadmill) and it has improved me in numerous ways. The mind is a result of the body's physical processes. A healthy body can result in an improved mind.

No offense, but paying for it is probably the best option specifically so you avoid any sort of relationship accidentally happening or anything weird. When I started pout I had too many crazy women after me (which causes some beta behavior if you literally have to hide from stalkers and crazy chicks.) Being a virgin is partially in your mind and partially a lack of practice. A prostitute can help with both, providing you have safe legal access to one.

Not nice; firm but fair. If you try to be nice, she'll see it as weakness and keep challenging your leadership. I have a strong tendency to be a nice guy, but every single time I allow that to enter into a disagreement, my wife responds with more shit-tests or what I like to call stonewalling. Nice should be removed from the male vocabulary except when discussing the Gold Coast. Good point, I didn't think about the whole "nice guy" aspect and how "nice" has become sort of a dirty word as a resul…

I think you're misunderstanding the fundamental concept behind a shit-test. Starting a discussion with your wife about feminism doesn't really fit the bill for a shit-test. The point of a woman's shit test according to the link you mentioned is as sort of a "flirting" mechanism, but I think it's also a lot about control. The woman wants to know that she has some "hook" into you, which gives her some control or comfort. Granted, it has no impact on the response, but I think in a LTR it's not as m…

That's a great idea, and I'd go one step further. I tend to relate better to women than men, so I'd probably also see if I could get in a little bit of flirting with his wife. Not enough to be obvious, but just ask her some questions about herself to show an interest in her, and hopefully get her to reciprocate. Granted, if Johnny is in favor of wife-swapping then this is a bad idea altogether (unless you're into that) but this could allow you to combine an offensive maneuver to get his wife int…

I was very much a beta in my relationships basically my whole life, and while I started out that way in business, I became an alpha in the business as a consultant as I gained confidence. I've only recently come to TRP as a result of issues in my marriage and life in general, and I have to say that some of the things that I've been applying in business apply so well to marriage that it's a wonder I was too oblivious to it before.

A man should never physically attack a woman, although I do think self-defense can be justified depending on the circumstances (e.g. if you can't prevent her from harming you without you resorting to violence, such as if she has a gun or whatever.) That being said, I don't think what Steven Smith said was wrong, just intentionally taken out of context. If my sister's husband was abusive toward her, I'd kick his ass, but if she knew what buttons to push that would trigger his abuse, it would be s…

You can also mix tactics, such as responding to: Were you checking out that girl? You could easily just say, "Of course I did. What do you think of her ass?" It's somewhat of a combination of A&A and the Pressure Switch. This is combined with a tactic I use at work of providing a multi-pronged attack in a conversation that makes them unable to address more than one point, giving you the opportunity to press them harder in their response on the thing that they didn't respond to, making it look li…

Instead he should be more A&A. What does A&A stand for? Based on your examples, it looks like it's referring to a sarcasm strategy that I also use, which takes the hysterical idea that the woman brings up to an extreme conclusion, which shows how ridiculous it is to her and she can drop it.

I'm a recent convert to the philosophy here. It's actually made things a lot better in terms of fighting off the "butthurt" stuff in the relationships. Honestly, for me if my wife and I have sex it helps erase whatever emotional drama I may have been feeling up to that point. I can easily blow off her "shit tests" if I know that I am able to bed her. Case in point, we were in the car driving home from lunch and she was giving me a hard time about the whole "last name" thing (in her culture, wome…

I don't think what you've posted here only applies to women, as others have pointed out. As an American male, I don't really like being friends with most of the people I've met either. They're usually overweight, whiny, too into watching sports on TV as a substitute for their own manhood, and delusional.

Today, you're lucky if you've got a father in the picture at all. But the shame of it is that often, fathers are indoctrinated by what the world is telling them is acceptable behavior in a relationship. There is no more "man of the house." I'm an adult male with a dad and stepdad, who were more manly than a lot of the "dads" kids have these days, but I think I model more of myself as a father off of my grandfathers, who were badasses, than my dad or stepdad.
