First, you should probably talk to a therapist as it sounds like you have some trust issues you need to resolve. Second, you have to realize that you cannot control what other people do, you can only control how you let it affect you. Do not let yourself be a doormat, but if you are a good person and she cheats on you, then you know it isn't on you. Reassess, improve, and move on. I'll give you a personal story here. Almost 20 years ago, I had been dating a girl for 2 years (living with her for …

You are trying to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The "pull back" or "soft next" isn't a RP concept. The RP just pulled that from older dating content. The idea is to match her mindset to avoid coming across as needy and codependent. There is an old saying "If you love someone, let them go. If they return, it was meant to be." If she is pulling away, do not chase. Just let her go. There can be a million reasons why it is happening. Maybe she just isn't that into you. Maybe she likes someo…

First, what is it you are trying to "get over"? It is an idea. The idea can be wrong or right. If it is wrong, all that is needed is to debunk or disprove it. There is nothing to "get over". Like any good bit of comedy, there is a grain of truth to the statement. The problem arises when you take it to the extreme. Usually, this comes in the form of quoting Rollo Tomassi's "Iron Rule #6": "Women are incapable of loving a man in the way the man feels he should be loved", or "Men love idealisticall…

And you'd be horribly wrong.As if the people who write the movie decide how it is marketed and not the studio? Are you actually serious with this utter nonsense? Marketed, story design, supplemental material. Like I said, it is obvious you haven't looked at the details. Except that JK isn't gay. That's why that move REEKS of pandering bullshit. It wasn't a situation of JK, as a queer person, writing a cleverly disguised queer allegory that just went over most folks' heads and then admitting that…

You don't get to. The person who wrote the story said that's why they wrote it when they wrote it. You don't get to "disagree" with the literal history of the movie and why it was written. Oh? So you never question the motives of someone who is taking advantage of a political movement? So, I suppose you think JK Rowling always intended Dumbledore to be gay as well? Are you that naive? This is such an illogical and disingenuous attempt at a point it doesn't even warrant a genuine response explain…

It was true 20 years ago, they just didn't feel safe talking about it. Lilly has said so in interviews. Maybe you took it as a metaphor for control, but that doesn't change the intent the trans author/director had for the film. Agree to disagree. 22 years ago, they pushed the movie as an resisting control. Flash forward 20 years when transgenderism is a hot topic, and suddenly their biggest movie was really an allegory about that? Could it have been? Sure. Do I think it was? Not a chance due to …

Dr Shawn Smith did a whole video discussing it a while back (I think it is on the 21 Studios YT channel). Basically, hypergamy, as a concept, has been around for almost 200 years when it was noticed in India that families (specifically the fathers) would try to marry their daughters into higher social classes than they were born in. There is some evidence to support the notion that women, in general, prefer to date and marry up. However, the RP concept of hypergamy takes this idea and contorts i…

This was what the Wachowski Sisters pushed almost 20 years after the movie was released. At the time, it was a metaphor for control, which makes more sense when you consider the next major movie they worked on following the first 3 Matrix movies was V for Vendetta. The reimagining of the Matrix as a metaphor for transgenderism is a recent PR stunt by the Wachowski Sisters to promote the next Matrix movie. It will be interesting to see how the Matrix 4 does, as the plot for that series was pretty…

The guys worrying about height, race, money, etc. are the same guys that 1) are not good with women, 2) do not want to improve themselves to improve their chances with women, and 3) need an excuse for #2. It is a crutch for their lack of self-improvement.

There are a few things to look at in their discussions on this. First, they are typically only looking at anecdotal or collective anecdotal evidence. That is, you have a guy, or a bunch of guys coming together, saying "I had this girl acting this way". Then you have other guys saying, "Hey, I saw the same thing ...." Second, many of the guys talking about it deal with the same type of women, repeatedly. Take Myron Gaines and Walter Weekes, for example. The vast majority of the women they have ha…

What you describe here is really the modern version of the "7 degrees of Kevin Bacon". While many guys in the RP community or the manosphere at large are conservative or libertarian-leaning, that is largely because they are anti-feminist (which is basically a requirement to be on the liberal or progressive side of things - at least in terms of US politics).

Masculinity is no more toxic than femininity. However, you have to realize who is primarily drawn to those platforms. A masculine guy who doesn't have trouble with women and is living his best life is not usually going to seek out manosphere content. The guys that are drawn to it tend to be guys that are struggling and need guidance. If they find a good guide, they do not become bitter, angry, not resentful. However, there are a lot of people who will look to fuel the rage as there is more money…

You'll often find that the guys making these types of arguments are the same ones who have difficulty getting dates. You don't complain about dating being difficult if you are able to get dates when you want them. Back in my day ... (okay, joking aside) ... many of us viewed online dating as "cheating". Not cheating as in being unfaithful, but cheating as in you were trying to shortcut the dating game. The guys that relied on it exclusively were the ones that were too scared to talk to a woman, …

A few things on him: I read his book. It is nothing more than a condensed and better edited version of "The Rational Male" with a few of his own anecdotes thrown in. The only unique chapter is the one he talks about his TRT protocol. He made his money running a company (where apparently his brother did most of the work) that did debt consolidations.

Anyone, male or female, who is too picky will end up having a difficult time finding someone that meets their standards. This becomes especially so when you want things that are immutable and rare. For example, if you wanted a woman between 5'10"-6', platinum blonde hair, one green eye, one blue eye, with perfect teeth, a 6-figure income, no debt, highly educated, who is pleasant to be around and enjoys interesting hobbies, you have basically eliminated the entire planet with your physical appea…

There is also something else that happened in that time period that you are glossing over: the generation born after the Internet. If you were born after ~1990, you do not remember much about the world before you could pull up virtually anything online. In my opinion, the lack of social skills for many people under the age of 32 can be traced to this. Add in smart phones around 2007, and it is no wonder why this is happening.

It comes from the OkCupid study - that is the only one they quote (and frankly, the only one that supports their argument). When Pearl went on to F&F, she challenged it with a more recent study that indicated that over 70% of single guys surveyed had had sex in the last year, which, unless they were only sampling the "top 20%" is not possible according to the OkCupid survey. Anecdotally, what I've seen in my life is nowhere close to that 80% number they are citing. In the group of ~50 guys I wou…

Not entirely correct. Before the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, it was difficult for women to get a credit card. It was easier if she was single, but if she was married, many banks required the husband to cosign. That said, in some states, the banks would even ask for a male cosigner for single women (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/forty-years-ago-women-had-a-hard-time-getting-credit-cards-180949289/).

When you hear that, you have to look at where they are basing the information. Most of the time, it is based on data analytics coming from Tinder, Bumble, or Hinge, which will give it a rather skewed data set to start with.

If I recall correctly, in one of his first videos (several years ago) he indicated that he taught psychology at the University level. That would indicate he has at least a Master's degree; however, I have never heard anyone refer to him as "Dr" or "Professor", so I assume he has not finished his PhD. I always took him as a slightly more educated version of Rollo Tomassi. He has the same habit of misrepresenting studies and cherry-picking only ones that support his hypotheses. That said, the Tind…

If you are referring to my earlier response to you, I was not recommending any of those channels or content creators. Rather, I was pointing out the assertion that you were making that PUAs and Red Pill are the same was incorrect.

It is an archetype. It has nothing to do with school level. The archetype is "the guy who has it all". It is just the new name given to the same archetype that has been around forever. There are no guys that actually fit the full archetype.

I wouldn't classify it as "red pill", but you will see some guys in that space talk about it (similar to "The Game"). It has some interesting points in it, and definitely gives you something to think about. If anything, I would say it closer to some PUA material than RP. One annoying thing they did is start by telling you not to try to classify a woman into a specific category/archetype, and then they do exactly that later on.

I told you previously, if the decision was on the doctors, they will prioritise the mother simply because a grown woman healthy enough to get pregnant has a higher chance of survival than a baby. And yes, a vast majority of mothers and fathers would prioritise the lives of their children over theirs.

But that's not what that governor is saying. He is not for some frivolous, late-term abortions.

Again, this doesn't mean that any pregnant woman could have a late-term abortion just because she wants it. This law would be specifically relate…

You place it on the mother because she carries the child. The child's wellbeing depends on her wellbeing. That is one approach, but not the only one. Who is to say which is correct? I certainly do not have that answer. And I can tell you from experience, when my wife and I were expecting our first son, we had a conversation where she flat out told me if we get into a situation where it is her or our son, choose our son.

I can respect those limits (and interestingly enough, they are not far off from my own opinions on the matter). And no, it is not meant to undermine anything.

Completely agree. That is why I mentioned watching KS for a week. You see women on there all the time that are in the same situation of wanting something but do not want to spend any effort to improve themselves in order to improve their chances to achieve that. Obviously, even doing the work doesn't guarantee anything, but using that as an excuse to not improve yourself is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you define it as a protection and defence of its citizens' rights, then you are saying that pregnant women somehow lose those rights at the point when they become pregnant. You seem to be under the impression that having babies is just having a belly and then 9 months later you have a cute little mini-you and that's it. But as I said in my original post, it's often far more complicated and both pregnancies and childbirth could be life-threating to women. So then the question becomes who is mo…

You missed the point entirely. I'm not comparing abortion to being murdered by a psychopath. I'm asking a very simple question: at what point does taking the life of that child switch from being an "abortion" to being "murder"? If you kill the baby 5 minutes before birth, is that an abortion, or is that murder? And if you think I'm being hyperbolic, that was literally the bill being pushed in the VA General Assembly last year. So the question is, where do you draw the line?

To claim it is "women's rights" or "women's health" is an excuse to avoid facing the fact that it is not JUST the woman involved in that.

Like many young boys, you got confused over the term "bad boy". It never meant an toxic a-hole.

That is a gross over-simplification of the advice from many dating coaches (not just RP ones). Specifically, when you haven't had a date with a girl yet, do not hold long conversations with her over text. Be witty/funny, and drive the conversation towards asking for/setting up a date. That way you don't have all the "getting to know you" conversation in the most impersonal method possible (i.e. reading it on your phone). It is much easier to flirt and build chemistry in person than it is via tex…

Not likely. More likely are either (or both) of the following: 1) She met someone while on vacation that she was more interested in, and due to the fact that she spent more time with him, ended up building a stronger connection with. 2) She had low interest to begin with, and the lack of communication while she was on vacation made her realize that. Considering that u/Whole-Pea1870 says she describes herself as the "needy/jealous type", I'd lean more towards #2 if I had to pick one, but it could…

That is rather odd behavior on her part, and I would take it as a sign of low interest from her and not give it much of a second thought other than the lesson learned on keeping communication going (especially in the early phases). The caveat is you do not want to over-communicate electronically either.

First, the texting for logistics is not a "red pill" concept. That is a common PUA practice. The reason for it is simple: if you haven't gone on a date and spent too much time going back and forth via text, you end up having a lot of the "getting to know you" conversations without any emotional connection you get with the in-person interaction. Where people screw up is that AFTER you on a date and she has shown interest, it is perfectly fine to have short conversations via text. In your case, si…

These are two different topics. Almost any woman can walk into a bar and make it known she wants to hook up and find at least one guy who will take her up on it. The reverse is not as likely. When it comes to relationships, there is an entirely different vetting process than there is for a casual hookup. In that arena, both sides approach things differently, but it is not really easier (or harder) for one or the other. Just different. That said, it may be slightly easier for a girl to enter into…

I posted a video that touched on this last week. In general, when people seek out a role model for a specific thing, it is because they do not have one in their life already. For guys, this has become increasingly so over the last 100 years (or at least it seems). There are a lot of guys reaching their 20s without a strong male role model and end up wondering "what does it mean to be a man?" Imagine you are 23, have never had a strong male role model, are socially awkward, have little to no expe…

It really depends on how deep you go into the rabbit hole. On the surface, you will find the guys that recommend improving yourself: get in shape, get your finances in order, develop a social circle, and enjoy life while not spending too much time and energy chasing women. These content creators are not bad and usually give good advice (for both life and dating) to guys that need some direction. There are several creators in this level that I follow and would even consider to be friendly with. A…

I wouldn't say it is so much that they have a chip on their shoulder. I'll take this group as an example: Rollo Tomassi, Donovan Sharpe, Myron Gaines, Walter Weekes, Jonathan Hogwood, Rian Stone, and Rich Cooper. If you listen to what those guys say, they basically admit that they were terrible with women in their teens and 20s. This meant that the hot girls in their mid-20s that they wanted to get with wouldn't give them the time of day. Then they watch the standard romantic comedies where the …

Apparently your pool of single female friends in their late 30s and 40s is different than mine, or most people for that matter. Or you are conflating dating and hooking up (which are not the same).

The answer to your question is simple: they are competing with their younger selves. They start to realize the attention they used to get easily is no longer there (or at least that they have to work a lot harder for it).

You are confusing anecdotal evidence with the generalizations. I can give you a couple examples I know personally: 1) A professional model, now 34, married a dude 25 years older than her 5 years ago. He is overweight, has grey in his hair and beard, but is well spoken, keeps his emotions under control, and has a 8-figure bank account. 2) A 40-year-old I went to high school with for divorced almost 2 years ago. His ex-wife was our age. He was an athlete and has taken care of himself. Other than g…

I have seen data pointing both ways, but that wasn't the point. It is not that girls in their early to mid 20s are seeing older guys at the club, but that those guys are more confident in approaching them elsewhere. It is the confidence and maturity that attracts them in those cases, not that the guy is physical specimen. The difference is due to the differences in what drives attraction between men and women. The wall metaphor is meant to describe that women realize they cannot compete the same…

Most guys in the RP misunderstand the concept of "The Wall" and thus misuse it constantly. The wall is not when she hits a certain age, but rather when the woman, herself, realizes she can no longer compete with the younger, prettier, girls for the same guys she once could. Guys that take care of themselves into their 40s can still compete to date girls in their 20s, and many girls find that older guys are more attractive due to their maturity and self confidence. As someone who dated girls 7 ye…

If you want to see why so many guys have trouble with dating apps, watch one of Fresh&Fit's After Hours shows and pay attention to the live chat. These are the guys buying into their lies and nonsense. They want a crutch to avoid having to change anything about themselves (e.g. get in shape, take better pictures, be a more interesting person, and be confident in talking with women). So when they do the same thing they have always done, and get the same results, it is not their fault, but the fau…

I made a video talking about this nonsense a couple months ago:. https://youtu.be/6qAlL1Ls2Kk This thought process comes from guys that want to excuse their bad behavior while condemning the same bad behavior from women. In general, men and women do cheat for different reasons, but that does not mean one is worse than the other, nor that one is not "cheating" while the other is. Cheating is cheating. It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, if you step out on a commitment you made to your…

There is an old saying that these guys fail to understand. There are a couple ways to say it: 1) If you have to tell someone you are an alpha/high value man, then you aren't. 2) No alpha/high value man has to tell the room he is such.

Agreed. Back in the early 2000s, it was just guys comparing notes and learning how to be better with women. Then the grifters joined in and took into the realm of nonsense. But, if you think about it from their perspective, it makes sense. Specifically, if you actually help men become better with women, you lose customers. If you feed into their rage, they keep pushing money into your account. The F&F situation is a great example of that.

Prior to ~2005, it was mainly just guys trying to be pick up artists and comparing notes online. They started using the RP metaphor around 2004-2005, but didn't start pushing it hard until ~2013 when Rollo combined his forum posts into a printed book (and didn't bother to edit them, but that is just a personal pet peeve).

Watch the 3 hour nonsense stream of Rollo Tomassi "analyzing" the interview Myron and Walter did with Mike Rashid. In it, there is a clip that is telling. He says "You either take all of the RP or none of it". In other words, "I am the gatekeeper and what I say goes.". So, the answer to your question is that it is whatever Rollo says it is (and ignore when he contradicts himself), just like any other cult leader.

I touch on that exact topic in my last video. Their sub growth was linear (3-4k/day, every day, for over 6 months - I have never seen any other channel grow like that), so I would not be surprised if they bought a good number of them.b that said, there are at least a few non-bots because they have gone on streams to discuss the matter.

There are other risk factors for the prison thing, sure. But when you see guys clinging to them like this, it is the male influence they are seeking.

There have been studies done that show the single highest risk factor for a guy ending up in prison is growing up without a father-figure. Does it mean all guys growing up without a father-figure are going to be lost? Not at all. Zac Small at the Family Alpha is a great example (his story growing up is rough!) However, when you look at the guys in prison, it is shocking how many of them (I think the last survey I saw had it at 80% of all incarcerated men in California, but I'd have to look it up…

It is a direct result of the lack of a strong male role model in his life. With no good one around to teach him what it means to be a man and how a man should act, he is likely to end up following the guys who claim they have what he thinks he wants. Just a preview for my sermon on this topic :)

We can only hope, but there are a lot of blind followers still. Take that kid who sent the "foul" (to quite Aba) messages to Anna and went on the Duke and Don show to "defend" his actions. The level of cognitive dissonance was giving me a headache watching that!

What scares me is the number of people still willing to stand by them.

Guys were commenting on my video about the Anna Quinn situation (where I didn't even touch the moral issues - just the fact that it was horrible game)…

To be fair, it isn't like several of us were not warning people for months about him.

After the Anna Quinn situation broke, Kevin and I both put out videos calling out his nonsense. And John Anthony has been throwing the red flags for what, 5-6 months now?

At this point, he is burning so many bridges that he will be lucky if he just becomes irrelevant. The look on his face after last night's shenanigans shows he knows he is in trouble with people who are not afraid to go to prison.

The first thing you need to realize is that you have to be happy with yourself. Having someone with you in life is great, but it is just the icing on the cake. The rest of your life is the bulk of the cake. If that cake is awesome, it doesn't matter if no one else is with you because you are happy and whole already. The interesting paradox of life is that once you feel whole by yourself, you are more likely to find someone who wants to join you on the ride, but that is not the goal for you (just…

It really depends on how you take the information. If you take it to mean "If you have good game, you will be successful with every girl", then of course not. However, if you take it to mean "If you have good game, you will have chances with any girl", sure. A lot of the RP "dating coaches" are really just wannabe PUAs. What they miss from actual (legit) PUAs is that they will tell you they do not bat 1.000. In fact, if you can bat 0.100 as a PUA, you are a rock star.
