Yeah social scientists are dealing with a monumental task. Understanding humans. Its impossible to control the human's environment, and eliminate bias in researchers and participants. You obviously cant design an actual experiment like you would for testing a drug. In many ways, doing good social science is probably harder than doing good hard science. And unfortunately, most people in social sciences have an insane bias towards generally left leaning ideas. I hate to do the anti intellectual th…

I wouldn't discount women's experiences. The only thing I would say is there is some selection bias. For every guy who is too aggressive, there is another one who is too scared to even ask for a date. Especially in the younger generation, there are a lot of guys who just arent trying at all, and you just dont meet them. I think this study even excluded guys who arent sexually active. But yeah, online and even in person i know women have told me messed up stories about creepy guys. I would agree …

I have no idea how this study worked. In some parts of the study they made it sound like men directly checked a box that said "yeah I did this" and in some parts it made it sound like they had more open ended questions and they shoved answers into the most evil interpretations of them possible. So asking repeatedly for sex? So I go on the second date, and i ask her if she wants to hang out at my place, she says no. Then on the third date I ask again, she says yes, we go home and bang.That would …

What's with this new idea that men giving dating advice dont want it to work? Like what. Like you would never apply this logic to anything else. The swimming coach doesnt want to teach you how to swim, because once you know they cant make money off you any more? Not that every dating coach is actually competent, and too be fair the space probably does have plenty of scammers. But theres also some very very good advice and I know of some very legit coaches. I never paid for personal coaching, but…

People spend crazy amounts of money on relationships and trying to get relationships.. 14 bucks a month for a couple months to try the premium version of some dating apps is my smallest expense I have ever spent on dating. A single coffee date costs that much, the bus pass or the gas to get there costs almost that much. I just dont really see it as a big deal.

Its paying for the premium version of an app. I dont see how its "dystopic." Every app has a premium version and a free version. If thats a "humiliation ritual" idk what to say, that seems pretty sheltered. Some clubs will charge you 50 bucks just to get in for one night if you dont have a small army of women with you. And the apps still work even without paying. Paying just gives you a pretty small boost. I have tried free and premium versions.

Theres a lot of overlap between game and just "confidence" in general that applies everywhere. Think of a great boss at a company or a great leader or public speaker with confidence. Someone who carries themselves well, speaks with authority. A great salesman who can build connections with people and negotiate well. Skills of having good game that relate specifically to dating. 1 is being able to handle shit tests. If she makes a comment about your old car. Do you justify yourself and say "oh we…

Its almost never a cold logical decision made ahead of time. Most women do not go around intending to hook up. But they go out and turns out a guy with really good game who's really good looking can build attraction and they end up going home with him on the first or second date. Even before they are in a committed relationship. Or for more casual relationships, they are in some different place for a summer internship, and they decide what the hell, im gonna have a 3 month fling with this very a…

I was gonna write a similar comment. And I will add, especially the personality one is really bad. I think the first thing I accepted was that I needed to improve my physique. I was around 108 pounds. From there it actually took me years to finally come around to the fact that I would have to fundamentally change who I am. I have struggled with really bad social anxiety and panic attacks. Sure, having more muscle was cool. But I was still avoiding all eye contact, had a blushing problem, getting…

I just encourage people not to be fatalistic. This also goes for all the socioeconomic stuff. I dont know why people always take it as a slight to suggest that some people, and, hey, maybe even you can maybe get better.

I visited latin america for a while. No woman I slept with indicated any interest in coming back to the US with me. I also definitely did not flash money or give any indication whatsoever that i would be there for more than a few months... I was staying in hostels on a tiny budget, half the time i was hitchiking for rides, I was basically a glorified homeless person. Its just easier idk what to say.

That's definitely not true in Latin america, there is even more cold approach there then in the US, at least the couple countries I visited. I assume you are talking about northern and western Europe? What would happen if you approached? And it is okay in bars still right?

I would be careful about getting any moral OCD tendencies. You are really unlikely to "make" any women do anything unless you are an intentional psycho. Especially since you are even self conscious of this and thinking about it. Guys who end up in abusive relationships where they "make" the woman do stuff are usually just psychopaths. They intentionally target low self esteem women, they use manipulation tactics, there are real power dynamic things going on etc... I dont think its something you …

It seemed like the goofy risk taking crazy testosterone fueled young men do the best. Now sure they will be more refined when they are 28 instead of 18 and have better game. But the guys who struggle the most are always the ones who have a more feminine demeanor, don't take much risk, sexually repressed, at any age. And none of this stuff is something you should just wait to age into. Maybe everyone already does this, but on dates, just work your way up to being a bit more seductive. Go for a hu…

Yeah it really depends on the vibes and the group and whatnot. Some casual meetups are pseudo dating meetups anyway. You have to remember, back before people could hide post history, about half of the women on PPD had some kind of LGBT stuff in their post history. Not thay theres anything wrong with that, but yeah, it checks out that they would have a different viewpoint about male attention. And this is reddit, it skews nerdy. A casual run club is a much different environment than a feminist li…

Cold approaching made me way way less desperate. I knew if a date went badly all I had to do was spend an hour or two approaching, and I could have another date lined up. Dating app autism (perfect pictures, 4 apps, manipilated algorithms, great text game). Also made me way less desperate, because again. I could just hop back on the app if something didnt work out. What made me come off as desperate was when I was "just living life" and theres only a few women a year who i might have a chance wi…

I completely agree with the point. However, I dont get why joining groups is now the new go to way to get laid or get a gf. Its definitely more advanced level game. I think struggling guys should work on getting great online dating photos, start cold approaching, and night game as well. With believe it or not, cold approach being the easiest method of all of them. Joining groups relies completely on group dynamics and a lot of other things. It can work, but imo one on one interactions are just s…

I mean that a long comment, and a personal attack thrown in too (dont worry I won't report you) for not wanting to engage with my personal life. And yeah, nobody acts in their own self interest when it comes to dating.. its all pretty much driven by emotion, for both men and women, to be fair. Women will sleep with you on the first or second date if the emotions are right. And "no chemistry" usually just directly translates to no sexual tension. Not always ofc. But yeah, gay best friend game jus…

Why do most women ghost you if you don't sleep with them on the first date from dating apps? I actually am totally okay with taking things slow. But in my experience women on dating apps are just not tolerant of that at all. Bare minimum you better be kissing or making out on the first date, there has to be that sexual tension. I have never had a casual friendly conversation on a first date on a dating app and had her agree to go on a second date. So I guess in my experience the vast majority of…

Well this guy somehow looks masculine and fit in this video, and then somehow looks actually gay and skinny in half his photos. And he had a segment in there "why a good profile doesnt matter." And complains about "Hinge scientists." BRO you are scoring a massive own goal by not listening to those hinge scientists. He is selling himself way way short with those pics.

I think male female friendships, especially if they are close, unrelated, one or both are single, and especially if they spend time together one on one it is just bound to lead to one party having a crush on the other. So imo if you have a female friend, its more like a yellow flag situation. I dont have any rules to myself that I cant have female friends. But you should always be aware of what's going on in your head, and you need to be a self aware person. Thinking, am I treating her like I wo…

I generally agree with this, but this is just a bit too high of a bar. You would be surprised. I have gotten "oh sorry im talking to someone right now" before, and I said, oh so you have a boyfriend? And she's like well nooo. With a smile. At that point it vibed it out that she might be open to "talking" to me as well. I said, oh so maybe we can talk too, im talking to some other girls as well, but I think if i start talking to you, I may end up forgetting about them. I ended up getting her numb…

This is usually a deeply unserious point people make. People who say this will not become anything like the bad boys they complain about.

I actually am a big fan of travelling to "ascend", not from this insecure perspective of "I am not valuable in the west, I need to go somewhere where I am valued." But just the fact that travelling is one of the most effective ways to get out of your shell, gain confidence, forces you to meet new people etc.. And gives you a different perspective, not everywhere is an neurotic and sexually repressed as the USA. Or as skeptical about being approached by strangers. Combine it with actually learnin…

Cooking is not going to make the difference. Its a nice thing to know, and just from a general health and finance perspective an important skill. If you arent rich enough to eat out for every meal. And sure maybe a bonus for women. But the areas where all the difference are made are related to confidence, demeanor, assertiveness and stuff like that.

I also want to add, all the traits you mentioned, well groomed, fashionable, moral, reserved, "emotional intelligence" are not as valuable in men as they are in women. Generally as a man assertiveness, risk taking, an orientation towards action, integrity, and confidence are highly valued traits. Now, thats not to say men shouldnt also be well groomed and fashionable, or that women shouldnt also take risks and be assertive. But when you cherrypick only feminine traits, ofc, women are "more valua…

This isn't the right attitude to have though. Acceptance of your fate, often after not even putting in much effort, IS one of the problems in the current dating world. And the fact that acceptance is becoming encouraged now is fucking awful.. Also, if you have this software running in the background of "men are just 'generally' less valuable" you are going to come off as insecure and in turn, you will be much less attractive. You are basically saying "know your place" and guys who know their pla…

That makes sense. I am just going off of the fact that when I was visiting north Carolina, I already had people talking to me on the plane, people talking to me on the bus from the plane, it was a huge culture shock.

This method does increase your success rate for sure. I try to do this stuff anyway just to spread positivity in the world. But direct approaches can also be very effective. If I can approach 20 times, im basically gaurenteed a date. I can do that in an hour depending on the foot traffic. It might be weeks before you make enough situational comments to lead to a date.

This seems completely dependent on the culture you come from. In the south of the US, "approach culture" is shocking. Not just romantic approaches, people just talk to everyone. Also in parts of the US that are heavily influenced by Latino culture you see a lot more approaches. And in Latin america countries as well. These are also cultures where I would speculate they do have better social networks. In places like Seattle nobody cold approaches and nobody has any friends either. Cold approach i…

It depends on the bar partly, and the time, the day of the week, a lot of stuff. One place can be total dogshit on Friday night. But some random Tuesday at 8 PM can be excellent. I usually just leave when its a bunch of loud music you have to scream over and filled with confrontational dudes and a bad ratio. If every place is like that, I either call it a night. Or another strategy is just to approach groups of women in the crowded nightlife streets on Friday night. Then go into places with them…

My stress levels have gone down so much now compared to when I didnt go out and I basically didnt have a life outside of work and school. Just the stress level difference alone probably makes me better at work. I think connection and sex are part of any healthy life.

Not to mention the insane difference in social skills and confidence. Cold…

You can not be a male rights advocate or any kind of rights advocate for that matter and be pro the current regime in Iran. They are crushing the young generation in public executions with cranes, shootings demonstrators in the streets, shutting down internet and suppressing all negative speech.

Maybe starting actual companies is an exception, but idk why people act like dating is some huge time investment. If you are working on an engineering degree, you can definitely find 10 or 15 hours a week dedicated to going out to bars.

This rant has such an unhinged tinge to it. But yeah working on only career and maybe the gym a bit is a bad plan. And besides I think that shit is usually an escuse. Med school residents, yes, they have no time. But pretty much everyone else could find time to go out 2 times a week at least. Or they could spend a couple weekends getting a great dating profile.

What about shit tests? Dealing with shit tests is a pretty game specific thing, that doesnt have to do with basic social skills. In fact, in a "basic social skills interaction" lets say where someone has harsh criticism for me. Playing it off as a joke and acting like I give 0 fucks about it is actually poor social skills. But in a dating context it is the best thing you can do. Also escalating. Escalating sexually and smoothly is not a basic social skill. That is purely a dating skill, i.e. gam…

I wouldn't necessarily call it an "expectation" expectation implies there is some higher power placing it on us. It is more like just the reality of the situation and the world. Its like saying "Your body 'expects' 2 Liters of water a day." Its more like just a biological reality of being human. Also, that's an exaggeration.

In my experience the guys who struggle a lot are guys who lack masculinity in one way or another. In cases where it is genuinely obese men not wanting obese women, then yeah, not much sympathy for them. But if you are a skinny guy, maybe socially anxious, neurotic, not many friends. A lot of your options if you have any won't be the most physically attractive.

I think most improvement with game is asymptotic. Those first years are where you make all the progress. This actually goes for getting good at anything. Comparing 18 to 23 for me was HUGE. At 18 I had horrible anxiety, 0 experience, was 110 pounds, so many issues. I was definitely not viewed as a sexual creature by women..

I dont know about all this feminist stuff, yeah some of them are inconsistent probably. But approaching is not "risky" in any way. It forces you to be very vulnerable, and if you are in a stage where you are still somewhat sensitive the rejection can hurt bad. Im not downplaying that at all. I think working up the nerve for my first cold approaches are some of the biggest challenges I have faced in my life.

Very strict restrictions and bans on social media, internet, and video games while under 18 could help. At the end of the day I think this is a cultural problem, and we need cultural solutions.

Career and other things are massive red hearings in my experience. They might help you feel a little better, but mainly they just make you feel more confident about your skills in that career.

There's a million reasons besides "economic desperation" why getting laid is easier in foreign countries. For one just being more novel helps. Being a traveler and "cosmopolitan" in a sense helps. You get some point for going through the effort of learning their language, If you did. This applies to all countries, not just poor ones.

Well if she met up with you, she's not out of your league. One thing I have done, although careful this leads to alcoholism. Taking a couple shots before a date, just 2 should do the trick, and a breath mint. Helps loosen up, your shoulders will be less stiff, maybe more emotion will come out of your voice, things will feel less tense. You can also try meditating, doing some cardio an hour before the date then showering, all that can help relieve some of that physical anxiety. I have a pretty mo…

Half of game is just getting over anxiety. If you go in anxious as hell you won't be showing your true personality anyway. You will be closed off and hiding your true personality. And most women will not be convinced they like you right off the bat. That's just the reality of the situation. If they are on a date with you they are open to the idea, but you have to turn up the volume know of attraction yourself. Its rare to get a layup, it happens.

If you can figure out a way to make 1000 a month USD, you can travel the world indefinitely. I have met people at my seasonal jobs before who will work 4 or 5 months out of the year, then go to cheap countries the other 6 or 7. I have met someone who was a YouTube editor. I know some people do the English teaching route. Some p…

Compare now to 100 years ago and its way way different for the vast majority of women in western countries. You brought up Epstein. Epstein was mostly recruiting poor high school girls through Maxwell. He was not brown bagging random women on the street. IDK why but I get the sense that people think thats what happened... Its hard to say this without sounding rapey and like im justifying Epstein, but I don't think any of them were forced into it in the sense of had a gun pointed at them. It was …

This is the only crazy one that I think is realistic and easy. Its like an actual appearance hack.

Please get off the internet. None of this is intentional, theres nothing conspiracy, theres no grand plan. Young men (and young women but to a lesser degree) are both struggling with the fallout of growing up addicted to phones and social media and not developing social skills. That's all it is. Its not a grand conspiracy. And you are still more then welcome to put down your phone and join the real world.

Idk, I appreciate the long reply but all I can really say is this seems like a very optimistic view on how things play out. As soon as a "monopoly on violence" is broken up bloody civil war will break out as it always has when a power vacuum is created. And either that horrific state of civil war continues indefinitey, or one of the "defense groups" wins and establishes a new monopoly on violence.

To me "voluntary defense group." ends up just sounding a lot like police. And rotating them around is a little questionable, some people are more suited for dealing with violence and de-escalation.. Are we gonna send someone with an anxiety disorder to do that job. or a 70 year old woman? I would say the majority of people are not cut out for "defense" work, i'm not.

The problem is people are exposed to it at very young ages en masse right now with very few restrictions. It stunts people's social skill growth at those critical ages... and no 12 year old is using it for productivity and self help books.

I have done approaches at bars and true cold approaches as a Gen z guy.

Half of 2400 is 1200 1200 x 12 = 14400 14400/73,000 x100 = 19.72% Spending 20% of income on rent is pretty good, I definitely wouldnt call that insanely expensive.

This is another argument for why people might now have kids, which I don't really buy but thats another story. But just for commitment / marriage doesn't this just make commitment even more appealing?

Its okay to care a lot about dating and sex in general. What you dont want to care about is dating or getting sex with one specific woman, or take any interaction or first date or approach all that seriously. The other problem is most men do care a lot about sex so if they try to just let things happen when they happen they will actually come off as even more desperate when the one off random potential opportunity comes around.

Making a good profile is a super niche skill. Female friends, unless you find a really good one, are usually not gonna be honest about what you need to do, and may view gaming a profile as deceptive.

This last paragraph is a really good way of putting most male OLD profiles. I always have said before, your online dating profile needs to tell a good story.

Out of curiosity, what city are you in? I found gender ratios everywhere to be pretty skewed in Seattle, and more even in Denver. So it definitely makes a difference. Fundamentally the problem with this whole post is you have already pre-rejected yourself in your own head. All women already have a boyfriend, they all just want looks, they all just want the hottest guy, they all are just there to talk to their friends. Nobody is gonna want to introduce me to their friends. You are gonna give off …

You can flip the dynamic on an individual level by having other options for sex. This is a big reason why guys in relationships tend to be seen as more attractive. You can't flip the "men vs female sex drive" dynamic for the whole species, of course.

I was just at Walmart and I was waiting on the self checkout line, there's this girl in one of the checkouts in front of me with this other girl. The other one was scanning her stuff, and I looked up and made eye contact with the one standing around by mistake. It looked like she was looking at me. So the first one finishes checking out and she walked off, and I was looking up expecting the other one to walk away as well. And she pulled out her phone and I swear it looked like she took a picture…

I was probably 20 when I first started working on it, but really working on it with the help of other people didn't start until I was 22, and at that point it went really quick. The first thing to realize is you have to work with other people on this, it's not a choice, you cannot self help book your way out of it. That's why I wasted 2 years. Therapists can help, though its insanely hard to find a good one who actually challenges you. There's some social anxiety specialists and dating coaches o…

Yeah, I think especially for people who self improve this can be really really jarring. Once you start to intentionally improve in one thing or another, you tend to rocket past the middle ground really fast, even if you started out as below average. This goes for anything. You can be a fatass couch potato but if you spend a year running you will be faster then 97% of people.

It doesnt matter what their initial intention is, if a guy with good game who is decent enough looking hits on then when they are single, they will have a new "intention" all of a sudden. Most women are completely passive daters anyway. They dont go anywhere to hit on guys or get hit on.

This is another gaslight thay has long existed on this sub but I have never noticed how prevalent it is until a conversation recently. Basically, there's a claim thay casual sex doesnt really exist outside of some very unique niche of people. Like rockstars in the top 0.01% and a few of their crazy groupies. Basically casual sex is extremely rare, and it happens between top men and the very extreme most promiscuous women. And this is just not true. A huge amount of "normal" women have 1 or 2 cas…

Figure out how much you spend on food eating out in a month or a week or whatever, then try not eating out for a month or week and test it out. But yes, cooking is almost always going to beat eating out. I think I eat pretty well and usually it only costs 11-13 dollars a day. 11-13 is the cost of a single fast food meal.

There are ways to look less short in pictures. You have to crop out space above your head, taking pics from angles that are below you, which also makes you look larger generally. Avoid backgrounds that give your height up, obviously dont be in pics next to tall people. I'm 5'8" so I have to think about this a bit.

I'm 5'8" and make like 40k a year and do pretty good on online dating. People drastically overestimate the bar to be a "top man" on online dating. You really just need to have at least an okay physique and not look like a bitch, or a shut in, or a serial killer in your pics and you will do alright. The bar is not Brad Pitt or one of the hottest men on earth! Some women are definitely on there for attention only but usually with 20 -50 or so likes you can get a date. Depending on your game ofc.

This is all wrong. Male and female attraction do not work the same, women can't exactly look at a picture and have it "overcome a hurdle" in the same way men do. That's the primary problem with online dating. And probably a big reason why there's not nearly as many women on online dating. Though there are ways to do your best with pictures and texting, its hard though. Going through my old profile vs my new one, I obviously had the same face in both.

If you have a dad bod, but you are otherwise masculine and have attractive traits, you can still get women, and some might even say they like the dad bod. ALSO even the "dad bod" itself often means a masculine "strong fat" body anyway. If you have a more feminine aesthetic and wear nail polish, that can be a benefit if you also embody other masculine traits. Same thing about opening up about insec…

The popular tab on reddit is such a cesspool. Today they are talking about revolution because their $1500 gaming pc's now cost $1750 because of the "ram crisis." These are the same people who larp as poor and working class and shit. Most poor people barely even know what ram is.

I don't think you would have any issue with a comment blaming a boys dad for him becoming a bully. "His dad's a bully at home, so he's a bully on the playground." And thats true. If a son has a dad who is "toxicly" masculine, he is likely to end up similar. But the same can be said about a son who has a dad who is overly weak. "That kid is a doormat who gets bullied because his dad is a doormat who get's bullied." And these traits unfortunately tend to continue on into adulthood. Its okay to ack…

Women IRL aren't as neurotic as women on reddit are, or brainrot "I pick the bear" women. I have lived with roommates and most my roommates brought women back, I did as well. Also remember, some of them say they pick the bear on their based feminist rants online, but then still go out and have fun if you play it cool and they are attracted to you. A girl from tinder will say "I don't want to meet up there, how do I know you aren't a serial killer?" All you have to do is say, "don't worry, I only…

This is a feminine opinion I guess but Boxing and striking martial arts in general seem to be getting more popular, I don't really get it. Seems a little weird to enjoy watching violence and actual blood and KOs and stuff, just purely for its own sake. Football and Hockey can be violent, but they are also really interesting strategic games, boxing is just violence for its own sake.

I disagree with quite a bit of this. For one, I don't think anyone is motivated by purely sex, even most redpillers. This seems like a pretty big strawman. Getting fit and money are very very valuable things by themselves, and I don't think anyone only goes to the gym or only works those 60 hour weeks just for sex. Also, why is sex necessarily a bad motivation? I guess you can call it immature, but why? Its one of life's pleasures, and it often leads to eventually more "deep" or "mature" values …

Do women really want emotional validation though? Sorry for the redpill moment, but this is a look at what women do not what they say moment. Guys who constantly validate women don't usually have the best results. They end up looking like weak simps. Actual emotional intelligence is giving people validation when they deserve it, and not when they don't. And I actually do think some women recognize this.

This doesn't change the fact that the meanings of these terms are being devalued.

This just proves you are contributing to the changing meaning of the term. If you think even 20-30% of people at universities qualify as so disabled they need accommodations, then the term is significantly different then if it only referred to 1% or 5% of people. Disability is a relative term, "ability" refers to the capabilities of normal people, and "dis" ability refers to not having the normal level of ability. If 40% of people are disabled, then that means a huge chunk of them are not actual…

Every time I have failed to escalate or we didn't vibe, they just ignored me and stopped replying to messages after the second date. I have not once even been offered the oppo…

Then every single comment is like "but what about when the airline weighs it, but what about the weight.." all with thousands of likes. I have flown probably 50 times and I have not once had an airline weigh a carryon bag. The dimensions have to be right so it has to fit within some box, but …

> And I don't mean valued in the sense that they're still thought of a less-than, just not actively harassed. Left to be duds that fell through the cracks. But actually valued and desired as people and partners. I don't see how this is possible. I don't think you can really change biological drives. I think men usually are attracted to fairly traditional "feminine" traits, but mainly we are biologically driven to care about appearance. And the expectation on women for appearance is still very mu…

That's really interesting, I may have to take the infrastructure pill. I am not very well traveled at all, but my assumption would be that culture is more important.

There's definitely a certain cultural phenomenon with how people are being raised that probably gets worse the richer your family is. This can happen in poor families as well depending on family dynamics and whatnot, but it is much less likely. The problem is coddling, and not expecting their kids to be independent. Here's another thing, wealthier cultures tend to be less direct and more risk averse. This is really bad for dating. One thing I credit my "ascension" to is moving out of home. For m…

It ended because enlightenment ideas won out over dark ages ideas. A lot of those dark age ideas are coming back and that's probably why society is having more problems now.

I disagree, any opportunity to put yourself in a better environment for doing anything you want to accomplish is a good idea. When you have friends also trying to accomplish the same thing you are and they are encouraging you and organizing parties that will ofc be very useful. You can definitely accomplish the same thing on your own but most people succeed when they are in environments that set them up for success. Its like the gym, ya theoretically anyone can get jacked just by looking up stuf…

Heres my take on this, no chick is sitting there doing the logical analysis of virginity and what the implications are and the red flags. And its a little strange you are coming in to justify something that women don't even do. They might say, "yknow he said he was a virgin and thats why I decided not to go on the second date." But that is a post-hoc rationalization because she wasn't attracted. If there was some virgin guy who had good game and she found physically attractive, they would have b…

"spirituality" is so cringe. They just want to keep all the non thinking and faith associated with religions, but are inconvenienced by the rules and structures that traditional religion has. Just go all the way and be an athiest, or if you are gonna be a religious nut at least do it right.

Unironically 0% intro APR periods are free money. As long as you actually pay it back before you get hit with the interest. If you take out a 10k debt on a credit card, and inflation is 2% a year, and you pay no interest on that 10k over the 24 month promo period, then you pay it back, you won just on inflation alone. If you invest that money and get a 6% return, that is also a win. Not to mention a lot of cards have intro offers where they actually give you a couple hundred or even more in trav…

I had plans to make my first "girlfriend" feel miserable by using her for sex and then dumping her. Although we were never formally dating, we were seeing each other a lot for a month, and then she ended up being the one who backed off and ended that. And that has made me feel sad. Even now that I have finally gotten laid my revenge fantasies haven't been fullfilled. I am working on becoming more cold and unemotional so this never happens again. I am supposed to be the one who sleeps soundly and…

Yeah fair enough, there is some bad advice on stuff out there. I think beginners are best off just appealing to authority or status, the jacked guy on youtube with the most subscribers will probably have a decent workout plan. And if you want to learn say chemistry the free online course by MIT will probably be pretty good. I think a lot of people use over-analyzing what plan or source they use as an excuse to just procrastinate and not start.

I always enjoyed airports as even as a kid because I got important "vibes" from the airport people. Like I was thinking the people at the airport are so good looking and full of energy and they seem busy, I hope I get to be an airport person one day. Now I realize that you don't want to be a regular at the airport because its a chore. But ya theres definitely some kind of increased perceived wealth and status effect from being in airports.

It's interesting how a lot of single unit housing is straight up illegal. I know in Portland there are new micro apts where you basically just get a tiny bedroom and bathroom, and then you share a kitchen that is separate from your unit with other people.

I think a lot of what people are referring to when they say this is approaching and making advances in general is demonized to some degree. Also I do think especially in childhood there is a lot of "demonetization" or at least discouragement? of masculinity.

I completely agree, and people take the modern education system for granted so so much. The natural state of humanity is illiteracy. Being able to understand basic stuff like clocks, weeks, months, years, elementary school math, is not at all natural. Evolutionary psychology of course has valid points, but people take it way too far. In a lot of ways modern humans have basically nothing to do with ancient humans.

I really like this outlook, it seems like gen z has very skewed expectations financially. People just wallow in self-pity and do nothing about it, it's crazy. And any suggestion for making things better they will screech at you. Like hey bro, maybe get some roommates, maybe stop ordering doordash and do meal prep at home, maybe work …

Currently out camping in the woods! I know I joked the other night that I hope I see bears and no female humans, but I am actually a bit paranoid about bears right now. There was a massive thunderstorm with torrential downpour, so I decided to move all my gear to my car and sleep in the back of the car instead. Ofc, the car is also where I keep all the food. So it makes a bear encounter more likely than if I was just in the tent. It is a great night though, I really do love being out in the wood…

I think it's always gonna be hard for a guy who was unable to get causal sex to feel secure about a marriage. Especially if the woman he married is post wall and/or has engaged in casual sex in her past. Maybe if the woman is doing all this shit you claim they do and also keeping up her appearance, he will feel better. But often these beta types end up in bad relationships with domineering women who get fat. I don't think the situation where women settle for beta males as soon as they hit the wa…

Yeah thats a good point. I think on an individual level, like if this guy is talking to a therapy client, all he can say is "bootstraps" because as individuals that's our only tool. But as a academia social science researcher and maybe somebody who has some influence over people and whose opinion might be taken seriously by "the elite", it would be nice to see some societal/legal/cultural prescriptions on how we can fix this on a societal level as well.

I see the sentiment from both sides on here that "modern women don't want to date."

Yeah it will be bad for a lot of individuals but also society as a whole. In the US we are at higher debt to GDP levels than at the peak of WWII, and the biggest budget items are Medicare, Social security, and interest on the debt we already have. It becomes a very dangerous situation where we will either have to allow for mass immigration to bring in working age people, and that was obviously politically defeated, we can get birthrates up, or we can stop taking care of the elderly.

What if that was a factor in the past, and now it's gonna be a lot of people not wanting kids in addition to a bunch of anti-social people who hate the opposite sex and can't have kids even if they wanted to. Birthrates could go even lower.

I guess i'm not exactly who this question is directed to, but laziness is always bad. in males or females.. If someone has an inheritance like that and they don't want to chip in around the house, then what exactly are they doing all day? People who want to sit around all day are not people who I would want to be around. In my opinion people who are lazy also usually have bad character generally.

I wonder how low birthrates are gonna get when Gen Z becomes the main 25-40 years old generation.. I know a lot of us will grow out of some of the red pill or pink pill craziness, but there's no way the gender war stuff doesn't lead to lower birthrates in the future.

"if it doesn't devastate" means that if it does anything less than "devastate" the budget, then it's okay. You can probably fit in doordash and eating out into a 100k budget without "devastating" it, there will just be sacrifices in other areas. Do you not see how that wording sounds a little entitled? And 200k is top 5% household income, probably top 2-3% if it's just a single income making all that. It's an extreme outlier case. So its still safe to say as a general rule that applies to about …

>without it devastating See this is the sort of language that is concerning. I know you didn't specify any specific number or any amount the wife is supposed to work.

The standard should not be if it doesn't "devastate" the family budget. If it creates even a mild impact on the budget, they should not…

So you are very wealthy and can afford housekeepers.

Fairly reasonable, I think the two main issues are "happy comfortable and safe" and "doesn't do so begrudgingly" sounds really iffy. What exactly does that mean?

And she isn't even doing things like cooking all the meals, and doing all the household labor to actually save some money. Then he is supposed to shut his mouth and not complain or expect the…

Seriously, people need to stop saying "we doubled the workforce and it made it harder to live on a single salary." By every measure, wages have been going up in the US since the 70s. Homeownership rates are right on par with historical homeownership rates. And the homes are much nicer these days. The averages size of homes has doubled. You can still "pay the bills" on a single salary if you are willing to live like they did in the 50s. Go find a poorly built 2 bedroom shack somewhere, with no ai…

My frugal mind instantly jumps to putting the kid in the living room while they are a baby and very young, then by the time they are old enough to care about having their own space, they will go to school and your family can be back on 2 incomes.

What if the narrative improves my well being? If I ever become financially successful, I will be able to tell myself that I did it all by myself. That will be good for my mental well being.
