4	A guy is brainwashing young men with the “dual-mating strategy” theory — how do I debunk it? p.s. also, those that are making these types of claims (if they aren’t the ones who are abusing their academic credentials to push such rubbish themselves due to their own bigotry) are rarely coming from a place of good intentions or good faith. The people who cite these “studies” aren’t scientifically minded. You could become a world renowned scientist who is the most literate at translating scientific studies, but that wouldn’t matter. The demographic you wish to reason with would just plug th…	/r/ExRedPill	21/03/25 10:02 PM
5	A guy is brainwashing young men with the “dual-mating strategy” theory — how do I debunk it? This is applied by red pill men to women and to themselves; which side are you referring to and wanting to debunk? Or are you referring to both? Both should be debunked. Maybe seeing how this same theory is applied to both sides (justifying that all men are promiscuous vs the assumption that all women are promiscuous) might help tear down whichever side you’re seeing; if a claim can be used to argue the affirmative for the antithesis it’s a fallacious claim. I’ve seen red pillers argue both side…	/r/ExRedPill	21/03/25 09:07 PM
7	I need help deprogramming My initial comment still stands. Do you have a victim mentality? If you’re too impressionable then that means you lack a sense of self and need to work on developing one. No one else can do that for you. Manosphere influencers will take advantage of that. They know that men like you don’t have a sense of self and you are their target audience. You’re an easy mark for them. I’d suggest finding something that nourishes your soul that isn’t rooted in cynicism or nihilism or hatred of women. It shou…	/r/ExRedPill	04/03/25 10:54 PM
5	I need help deprogramming If you know they’re bullshit and yet you find yourself believing or listening or giving them credit that means you want to believe them more than you want to not be a misogynist.	/r/ExRedPill	04/03/25 10:25 PM
25	'Manosphere' tactics don't work- They destroyed my relationship with the love of my life Yeah, the dread game is so dumb. It’s also just so weird that people would ever think in those ways. I’m not a strategic person so it just doesn’t make sense to me. How people could even keep up with the smoke screens and Funhouse mirrors. Would he try to convince you that you were easy to replace? I just recently got out of a situation similar to yours. He tried to convince me that I was losing my mind… So I began to lose my mind. I’m fine now though. As soon as he left, it was like the spell b…	/r/ExRedPill	04/03/25 09:25 PM
10	'Manosphere' tactics don't work- They destroyed my relationship with the love of my life Same—id also like to hear. 🙏	/r/ExRedPill	04/03/25 08:59 PM
21	'Manosphere' tactics don't work- They destroyed my relationship with the love of my life Ah. I bet you what he meant by that then is that he got his ego stroked which was most likely his only motive when it comes to women. “She wanted me. It worked”…did he break up with her or vice versa? Sorry for the qs, I just am trying to destroy these ideologies so I’m always curious about the dynamics and peoples experiences. Trying to find patterns.	/r/ExRedPill	04/03/25 08:55 PM
24	'Manosphere' tactics don't work- They destroyed my relationship with the love of my life What was his response to your point? Did he just ignore it?	/r/ExRedPill	04/03/25 08:51 PM
80	'Manosphere' tactics don't work- They destroyed my relationship with the love of my life Yep. These behaviors only work on disordered people who can’t do intimacy and prefer sadism/masochism to connection. *They also work on those who have had their self-esteem eroded significantly, and who no longer trust their perception of reality… Which these men intentionally do to women. The men think that AWALT (all women are like that) and that what works with one works with another. If you’re struggling with self doubt and rumination, Google Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft. You’ll fin…	/r/ExRedPill	04/03/25 08:47 PM
2	How to stop obsessing about power in relationships? Explaining why your argument shouldn’t be taken seriously isn’t patronizing; it’s setting boundaries and letting you know that I see what you’re doing and am not gonna participate when you clearly aren’t coming from an honest place. 🤙 Never believe that they are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in…	/r/ExRedPill	01/02/25 08:49 AM
0	How to stop obsessing about power in relationships? Seems like you have a victim mindset for this being your response/take away. Victim mindset automatically means bad faith, whether intentional or not, which means you’ve nullified your argument (your argument = fabricating something to argue with because you can’t respond to my points directly) from being taken seriously. Pity.	/r/ExRedPill	01/02/25 08:25 AM
29	How to stop obsessing about power in relationships? They fear love because it creates a world they can’t control. —George Orwell, 1984 When love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. One is the shadow of the other. —Carl Jung The opposite of love is power. If you want to love others, you have to stop trying to compete with them/control them/have power over them. Fostering dependency is an admittance of self doubt. Maybe saying it like this will help reprioritize: Envy/jealousy is an admittance of i…	/r/ExRedPill	01/02/25 12:16 AM
