5	Psychology Today is not a valid research journal Well, if you go to Psychology Today's website, a lot of the articles are not based on research. They're basically drawing on David Buss's theories of evolutionary psychology. Even if they do cite, studies, they twist the conclusions of the researchers. Second, most of the stuff they publish has little to do with psychology. "Why women are catty" okay, why is that important? Even without reading it, I probably can determine the conclusion. If one is writing a scientific paper, you never ever use …	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/09/13 03:52 PM
2	And now for something a bit more lighthearted They were worn too much. Most of the ones that people tend to purchase are of low quality. To be perfectly honest, a lot of guys look completely ridiculous in them. Now, if they were worn with 1920s-style gangster clothes, then they look fine.	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/09/13 02:49 PM
6	To the blue pillers, what alternative to TRP would you recommend for me? Let me describe myself. I'm the stereotypical TRPer that TBP loves to make fun of, I'm a mid twenties, white, socially anxious, depressed, aspie, kissless virgin, overweight, unattractive stem major. Now let me describe how terrible being that actually is. Making fun of mental illnesses is not cool and that definitely is not something that I do. However, TRP is not the same as treatment from professionals. While it's good that you've managed to improve your life, I'm worried that you might take …	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/09/13 06:35 PM
7	Sluts Infatuation is not love.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/09/13 08:49 PM
1	Sluts I always just kind of assumed a "slut" was something you called someone who was promiscuous and mean. The other person being mean I thought was always crucial. I personally don't use the term myself.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/09/13 08:46 PM
7	Bluepillers: What are your views on digit ratio and masculinity? I really don't think gender stereotypes are due to which finger is longer than the other. The amount of sex hormone produced by a person may have an effect on their secondary sex characteristics, but their gender identity is due to may diverse factors. This really isn't a good measurement of how masculine a person is.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/09/13 05:13 PM
2	Let's have a discussion about /r/darktriad... If you want to discuss the Dark Triad, go to this thread.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/08/13 10:53 PM
7	Let's have a discussion about /r/darktriad... Psychopathy and psychosis are two very different things. Psychopathy is an extreme form of Antisocial Personality Disorder. Psychosis refers to things like hallucinations and delusions, which are hallmarks of Schizophrenia.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/08/13 08:23 PM
3	What are the benefits and pitfalls of The Dark Triad? Abraham Lincoln was definitely not an alpha.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/08/13 04:24 PM
3	Blue pillers: do you assume all red pillers are the same? I knew prison rape was common, but I didn't know it was that common. That's very sad.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/08/13 03:42 PM
5	What are the benefits and pitfalls of The Dark Triad? Psychopaths often pass polygraph tests because of they remain calm under duress. They don't respond to stress the same way as other people. They do, however have poor impulse control which leads to aggression. However, sometimes when psychopaths are backed into a corner, they may respond with what is essentially a temper tantrum.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/08/13 03:33 PM
5	What are the benefits and pitfalls of The Dark Triad? You're making a very solipsistic and emotional argument here. That's part of the diagnostic definition of those things. It's not based on my feelings. It's been observed by mental health professionals for a very, very long time. People who fall into the Antisocial Spectrum don't really feel emotions normally. Why? Researchers have found dysfunctions in the amygdala, which is responsible for emotions. They only display "emotions" when they feel it will help them get what they want. Imagine a woma…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/08/13 03:43 AM
4	What are the benefits and pitfalls of The Dark Triad? The good news is that at least you're aware that this is a problem.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/08/13 05:21 PM
6	What are the benefits and pitfalls of The Dark Triad? The term shallow is subjective here, which is why your argument doesn't add up to anything. Who determines shallow except the people who are seeking value? Nobody. When I say shallow, I mean "emotionally shallow." There's nothing really behind the emotions of these people. This is a hallmark of these particular personality disorders. They're fake. They shift constantly whenever it benefits them. They only get women because they turn themselves into the sort of people who are attractive. A psycho…	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/08/13 04:53 PM
5	What are the benefits and pitfalls of The Dark Triad? Of course you can't give yourself a personality disorder. Of course these types men are successful with women, but for very shallow reasons. The relationships these men have usually aren't healthy. What is all this talk of "cultivating" the Dark Triad if you only wish to study them in the way psychologists and psychiatrists do? You guys can pick better role models.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/08/13 01:34 PM
11	What are the benefits and pitfalls of The Dark Triad? Psychopaths are empathetic? That's news to me. Sure, they understand that other people have feelings, but they don't care. A psychopath only cares about himself. The lack of guilt is also quite troublesome. This leads these people to do very terrible things. I remember watching Ted Bundy's final interview(an extreme example). At one point, he starts crying and says he feels remorse for his crimes. This is, of course not true, and he only did this because he thought that he could be granted a sta…	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/08/13 01:18 PM
5	What are the benefits and pitfalls of The Dark Triad? When did you find this out?	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/08/13 12:50 PM
13	What are the benefits and pitfalls of The Dark Triad? I'll start, as this gives me the perfect opportunity to explain why I think this Dark Triad stuff is a bad idea. I understand that guys want to be confident, but anyone can be confident not just narcissists and psychopaths. You want to not care about what other people think and that's fine (ironic considering people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder are hyper-sensitive to criticism). You don't need to posess serious personality disorders to have these traits. Here's the part that I think pe…	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/08/13 04:39 AM
3	People with Dark Triad personalities aren't themselves attractive; they just tend to dress better Okay. I was kind of distracted when I wrote it. I'll rephrase. Why does a chunk of TRP want to cultivate these Dark Triad traits? From my understanding narcissists and psychopaths hurt people. They lack compassion because they do not care. Why would someone want to become something like that, only so they can pick up women?	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/08/13 09:01 PM
2	Why I think Red Pillers Deserted this sub. I should have worded my question differently. First and foremost from the perspective of a psychologist, why a chunk of the Red Pill thinks that it's a good idea to embrace traits like psychopathy and narcissism. First, you cannot turn yourself into those things, they have to develop over a long period of time. Second, Psychopaths and Narcissists ruin other people's lives. They also steal money and sometimes they kill. I just feel the world doesn't need more of them. "Monster" was too strong of …	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/08/13 08:54 PM
3	People with Dark Triad personalities aren't themselves attractive; they just tend to dress better Where are they? I really want them to answer this question for me. Why do they want to turn into monsters?	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/08/13 03:10 PM
