| 1 | Do women vary less in personality and intelligence than men?Personality disorders are medical conditions, which are a separate category when you want to talk about general gender-related behavior, imo. The definition of mental health rely on the definition of what's mentally "normal" for the majority of people, while your post is talking about "assholes" :P Sure women can bully, and be vengeful When a woman decides to bully someone, it's usually emotional abuse that crushes a person to the point where they're suicidal.

| 7 | Higher End Lingerie adviceThe non-shiny type of silk material is really really soft and nice to wear. The shiny stuff is mostly satin or mixed. It would be ideal if you could shop for lingerie in person with your wife at a physical store where you can feel the cloth materials with your own fingers and see which you prefer. Most physical stores have higher prices (compared to shopping online) but if you're willing to pay the extra, it's best to go in person. Generally, you're allowed to try any item that doesn't touch the… | /r/RedPillWomen | 22/08/17 08:26 PM |
| 3 | How does watching porn affect women's view of sex/men? [Q4Women]Porn (showing/telling) is an easy way to find out if a potential partner has sexual hang-ups. Regular sharing/discussion about porn also keeps sex fun and interesting while in a relationship. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/08/17 12:12 PM |
| 9 | Asking for sex- is it anti-RP?I think you'll have to add "high libido" to your vetting process then. ^ Pretty much. I've never managed a successful relationship with someone who isn't high-libido as well, because the obvious mismatch will only get more intolerable in time. | /r/RedPillWomen | 08/08/17 08:12 PM |
| 7 | Asking for sex- is it anti-RP?Drink mint tea. Seriously, it'll lower your libido. Maybe this only works for guys, because I drink at least two teapot's worth of peppermint tea per day to regulate my hormones. Libido still happily raging. 2x/day sounds excessive and you're coming on too strong, scaring the men away. Wanting sex twice a day is normal for someone with high libido. | /r/RedPillWomen | 08/08/17 08:06 PM |
| 1 | Q4ALL: What supposed "romantic" gesture do you find off-putting and weird?He was easy on my eyes, otherwise I wouldn't have dated him, no matter how briefly. The random singing was creepy, not the guy himself. The issue here is more about an incompatible sense of humor, I think. I'm generally very appreciative of romantic gestures, and I'm generally attracted to weirdos. I just didn't expect random singing to gross me out, until I met him. For what it's worth, I don't enjoy musicals either :p | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/08/17 03:20 AM |
| 2 | Q4ALL: What supposed "romantic" gesture do you find off-putting and weird?Yes, and it was unfortunately directed at me. The guy could actually sing well, but the randomness and cognitive dissonance literally made my skin crawl :( He didn't just do it once, it was more of a habit(?). I never got used to it, nor ever enjoyed it, but felt it would be rude of me to tell him to shut up with his love songs. He usually did his acapella serenades in noisy public places, so it wasn't drawing unwanted attention, thankfully. The relationship didn't last more than a few weeks, of… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/08/17 03:50 PM |

| 4 | Opinions on premarital sex?Personally I kept my virginity until my mid 20s, and that was a decade ago for me. No regrets whatsoever! The only downside was, I got shamed for being a prude (by other women) often. Just shrug off that noise. | /r/RedPillWomen | 30/07/17 11:23 PM |

| 17 | Why he might consider marrying you.If you don't plan on having children, there's no reason to get married other than religious reasons. While this is true in a very-general western-centric sense (which is what RPW/TRP is about), it should be also noted that RPW/TRP is also family-centric, which often excludes beneficial advice for childfree couples (childfree is not quite "the norm", I guess?). I think anybody (childfree/religious, or not) should treat a marriage like a business partnership, where the "business" is "your life tog… | /r/RedPillWomen | 30/07/17 09:53 PM |

| 2 | What does your perfect marriage look like?Haha thanks! I'd imagine it sounds stressful to men who want a more traditional marriage with a cozy home and family life. However, your thread was empty with nobody biting after 3 hours, so I figured I'd rock the boat with my probably-very-un-RPW marriage goals :p | /r/RedPillWomen | 26/07/17 07:31 AM |

At the very least, thinking through everything that's frustrating you in an objective and methodical way will help you figure things out with better clarity, and hopefully you get ideas for solutions. I imagine him trusting me fully as to let me feel free in this relationship, to have the social life I wish for and to make me feel like it's natural to act RPW and not making me miserable. If he's a good boyfriend, he should actively work with you to help make this a reality. … | /r/RedPillWomen | 23/07/17 05:50 PM |

When you imagine him giving you happiness, what do you imagine him doing/saying? I look like I am holding something inside and that I am not happy. They have all advised me to break up.

Do you find your new preference equally fulfilling? I have limited myself to a few friends now and he seems to approve of it. Did he choose these friends for you? He has given me some tips on how to feel better about myself and how to focus on my strengths and not my weaknesses. This sounds good, but if you could provide examples, it would help put things in clearer perspective. | /r/RedPillWomen | 23/07/17 04:34 PM |

| 2 | Applying RPW principles made me resent my boyfriend and be ashamed of myself...The thing is, a manipulative person will be very successful at making you doubt yourself, make you feel like everything is your fault, and make you think of them as doing things "for your own good". A manipulative person slowly breaks down your self-worth, until you feel lost without their guidance, and you will believe that they're not doing anything wrong.

Thanks for clearing it up. It's confusing as hell when some people insist I have an agenda when they're the ones asking me personal questions. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/07/17 05:05 AM |
| 2 | Why do a bunch of men who allegedly believe in biological sex differences very strongly have such certainty regarding the interior lives of women and the nature and experience of their feelings?I don't experience nurturing love very much. I'm not sure if it's because I've never been given any while growing up. It's one of the main reasons why I know I shouldn't be a parent.

| 1 | Blind Date TestWhat you're describing is lack of discrimination -- general thirst, or general pedestalization of women. The PUA strategy of negging is supposed to help avoid this, to make the guy seem less thirsty. What I'm talking about is genuine strong attraction between two people who are compatible for an LTR. Perhaps a better analogy is the difference between a guy looking at a wrapped present (most people love presents, I assume :p), and his expression after unwrapping that present to find that it's som… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/07/17 09:03 PM |

| 2 | Q4ALL: What was something that you didn't realize was sexist until the internet pointed it out to you?I think it's sexist to validate/encourage first world problems like being "inappropriately verbally complimented" or being defined by gender ("female").

I'm just saying it's not always about absolutes. I also think censorship of something like TRP would only sweep the stereotype-related issues (for both men and women, really) it addresses under the proverbial rug.

| 2 | Promoting sexism is morally wrongMorally questionable, yes. But not morally wrong. TRP isn't going to make someone more misogynistic than they already are, imo. Any decent person I know who is aware of TRP have said it's useful in some ways, but also silly and angsty in many ways. Most people don't mindlessly believe "truths" when real life experience says different. I'm aware that this is just my anecdote, but I also don't believe that the people I know are all exceptions to the general norm. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/07/17 08:02 AM |

Things you've said (partial quotes just to point out which paragraphs I'm referring to) : TRP has a habit of being anti-science.. promoting sexism based on dubious "evidence" and promoting overgeneralizations ..

The puzzle itself is the "problem", and the instructions are just an obstacle. As per the RPW concept, this is for those who want the problem to be solved by their partner.

| 1 | A Little Metaphor: Bring Your Captain The Solution, Not The ProblemA closer example I would use is if...your partner said something that upset you and they didn't realise. I would first quietly process why it upset me, and if it's just my own insecurities/viewpoint that's the problem, I'll just quietly fix my mindset myself. If it's something that upsets me because it's related to a tangible problem, I would bring it up by asking his opinion about the tangible problem (I consider my feelings to be my own responsibility to deal with myself).

| 1 | A Little Metaphor: Bring Your Captain The Solution, Not The ProblemFor me it's just mealtime is not a problem It's a similar construct, which I used to explain a viewpoint (and I probably explained it badly, sorry). Pretty much everything we do in life is "achieving a goal", and the word "problem" is usually used to describe "a difficult goal". The level of difficulty/risks between making breakfast and figuring out how to pry a child out of a car wreck might be different, but you're still working towards a goal, or, solving a big/small "problem". I was specific… | /r/RedPillWomen | 15/06/17 12:13 PM |
| 1 | A Little Metaphor: Bring Your Captain The Solution, Not The ProblemThis metaphor is for when there is quite a problem. I agree, but I was using mealtime because I couldn't think of a better universally-relateable example. I'm open to discussing other examples. If it's relevant, I did ramble more regarding the metaphor in this comment thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedPillWomen/comments/6gzlwj/a_little_metaphor_bring_your_captain_the_solution/divpdh8/ I'm pretty fascinated with the different views mentioned, including the parts about mothering, because it's no… | /r/RedPillWomen | 15/06/17 06:18 AM |

I see what you mean, and I can imagine it would work for building attraction with some guys, but (just my personal irrelevant opinion --) I would always see it as insecurity.

| 1 | A Little Metaphor: Bring Your Captain The Solution, Not The ProblemI do agree with what you said, which was why I translated "makes him feel masculine, strong, needed" from your previous post as "insecurity". Why would he feel emasculated/weak/unneeded if I simply offered information? Offering information isn't giving orders/direction.

Sometimes, I think I take it for granted that such things are normal for every couple, I guess lol I just don't like the idea of quashing a man's initiative.

There is a difference between an idiot who has no strategy in life to a man who is intelligent and like everybody, has his moments. Sometimes it's longer than just "moments". Sometimes, even the best plans don't turn out as expected, so strategies only go so far (and strategies tend to be better when you collaborate on it, instead of expect him to come up with the solution all by himself, for his ego's sake :p) Sometimes, an "idiot" would get… | /r/RedPillWomen | 14/06/17 04:10 AM |

| 1 | A Little Metaphor: Bring Your Captain The Solution, Not The ProblemI would just deal with it myself I do this most of the time. We still discuss things in advance, before making decisions that affect both of us. We also mention things we've resolved on our own, just to keep each other in the loop. I'm having a hard time understanding how men would find this emasculating, unless they're really insecure to start with. My man finds this reduces a lot of stress in his life, and we're always relaxed together because we freely talk about things. | /r/RedPillWomen | 13/06/17 05:39 PM |

His masculinity isn't threatened, because he views me as an extension of himself. I don't consider "feel masculine/feminine" when it comes to slaying metaphorical dragons, because you just get that done. It's not a competition when you're on the same team.

| 1 | A Little Metaphor: Bring Your Captain The Solution, Not The ProblemWhy do you assume that the damsel is trying to micro-manage or nag or control, when she's just offering information? Is life-saving information so emasculating? I guess he should just be left to fend for himself and maybe die in the process. Are you saying men are disposable? The damsel simply demanding to be saved, and expecting the knight to figure it out on his own -- this doesn't sound entitled to you? | /r/RedPillWomen | 13/06/17 02:18 PM |
| 2 | A Little Metaphor: Bring Your Captain The Solution, Not The ProblemNo knight wants to come home and admit that his success was only because the damsel gave him the cheat sheet. Obviously I suck at being a proper damsel, because I don't want my beloved to risk his life for me when I have the cheat sheet handy.

| 2 | A Little Metaphor: Bring Your Captain The Solution, Not The ProblemI have no problem with the RP advice. I do have a problem with this metaphor :p This "defeat dragon" metaphor requires teamwork for survival and success -- "us against the problem", because it's a matter of life and death (of much greater importance than deciding dinner plans).

I think a lot of it relies on a person's life experience (not age) and whether they have the maturity to process that experience to learn to be grateful for things most people take for granted. Someone who has had a comfortable sheltered life can also be appreciative of what they have by having enough empathy with others to realize t… | /r/RedPillWomen | 28/05/17 11:28 AM |

| 1 | Why having sex during the vetting process is a bad ideaI suppose one could look at RPW as a fundament, the basic education for all women, but what you specialize in is unique to you. Well said! I'm curious, what do you think is your edge? Flexibility, I think. I don't expect my man to adapt to me; I adapt to him. I quickly pick up on things from observation and interaction, instead of constantly asking for information. This applies to everything from initial conversations to anticipating their needs while living together. The downside (with my ex'es… | /r/RedPillWomen | 27/05/17 04:18 PM |

Passion also brings out your individuality, instead of limiting your attraction factor to some "Stepford Wife" stereotype (which I'm sure appeal to some men, but it's not exceptional on its own, imo). In RPW guidelines, there's (imo) a disproportionate obsession with "femininity" that, while it's all nice, it's also rather myopic for life in 2017.

| 1 | Why having sex during the vetting process is a bad ideaEntirely depends on the individual. When someone describes a woman who is "full of life", they are referring to the attractiveness of a passionate woman. For example, some men are attracted to women who can keep up with them in their passion for adventure. Hiking and mountain biking are hobbies that are fun to do with a partner, and is also a bonding experience.

| 4 | Unique ways/things to improveThis only applies when you already have a partner, and I don't know if this is RP (honestly, I don't think I'm very RP), but I almost never see this mentioned around here: Improve your sexual creativity. Avoid putting all the burden on your man to come up with new things to try. You also need to be slim and fit to maximize your options for sexual positions. Being knockout-hot helps too. But it's not all about physical things, either. Learn how to dirty talk in the way that he likes. Words you us… | /r/RedPillWomen | 04/05/17 05:19 AM |
| 1 | Looking for somewhat recent TV shows with Red Pill Women to counter-balance the current female dominance leaning of TV showsThat's completely understandable. I don't watch many shows, but I mainly pick up sci-fi shows because I like the genre. I just think it's refreshing to see female characters who are strongly loyal to the people they love, or to their superiors whom they chose to serve. My favorite female character only shows up in season 2 (Drummer). | /r/RedPillWomen | 02/05/17 04:17 PM |
| 2 | Looking for somewhat recent TV shows with Red Pill Women to counter-balance the current female dominance leaning of TV showsI really like the main cast of female characters in The Expanse. They are very selective of who is worthy of their respect and loyalty, and they are capable of getting things done without clinging to a man. But it's a sci-fi show, so it might not be the genre you'd want to watch. | /r/RedPillWomen | 02/05/17 03:56 PM |

| 8 | How important is it to be certain of your partner?People are good at putting on their "best face" (best behavior, careful check on mannerisms, appear logical and reasonable, etc) when dating you. That façade will fall apart quickly when you uproot them and drag them out for an adventure. Go for a vacation together for at least 2 weeks, to somewhere far away from where you both live. Don't go out in the middle of nowhere, unless you're both seasoned adventurers lol Go somewhere that provides reasonable safety and comfort, but in a completely for… | /r/RedPillWomen | 01/05/17 04:02 AM |

Going for a test drive saved me from an unhappy marriage :p Saving until marriage, or going around "exploring your sexuality", are two different extremes, and like most extremes, the results will tend to be extreme too (glorious/disastrous). I'm not the kind of person who would gamble on that. I was raised religious, and I take marriage too seriously imo. I wouldn… | /r/RedPillWomen | 30/04/17 04:45 PM |

We only started romancing and sexing each others' brains out this year, and the level of familiarity with each other makes everything kind of mindblowing. He's my age, and we've both had rough patches in life, so, sometimes, a relationship is only logical to attempt when both parties finally have their ducklings in a row to make it happen on a serious level.

Are most girls that aren't red pilled at least on some level amused, or maybe intrigued, by guys who can't get a girl? If a guy has been friend zoned by a girl, what goes on in her mind watching him continually fail to attract someone of the opposite sex? I have no idea what goes on in the minds of the typical girl who would "friend zone" a guy while observing his failu… | /r/RedPillWomen | 29/04/17 10:25 PM |
| – | This is video was made by a comedy YouTube channel, but I still think what they discuss is true about the mentality of non-RPWOne funny thing I noticed is that guys who think they know "dating truths" also like to pretend bisexual women don't exist. And guys who encourage women to date guys from their "friend zone", will also get insecure when their girlfriend has a lot of guy friends. Videos like this make me thankful that I cannot relate to such woes :p A person's gender doesn't concern me, if I find them attractive. My "friend zone" is my "vetting zone".

Don't pressure him, just tell him that it's something that's been on your mind, and you need to at least talk about it, because this topic is directly relevant to his life. I'm childfree. This is a decision I made since highschool, and a decision I stubbornly maintained despite how it limited my options for partners. But I still make "children" through my work (entertainment industry). Aft… | /r/RedPillWomen | 26/04/17 03:47 AM |
| 2 | Sex and commitmentthe difference between the intimacy of friendship and the intimacy of sexuality and how they're almost impossible to live together I agree that applies to most relationships, as a good general rule. I think the difference in my case is that I'm not fussy about gender when selecting a partner lol I tend to end up with men, because lesbians tend to not want to date women who swing both ways, which is why you see bisexual women more likely to be dating men (it's kind of a cliche). I'm also a good f… | /r/RedPillWomen | 25/04/17 08:23 PM |
| 2 | Sex and commitmentQuoted from your linked writing (I'm not disagreeing, just pointing out how our different viewpoints don't necessarily conflict) : The stability of marriage and family is the opposite of the fun adventure of sexual lust and drive. You can have both stability and fun lusty adventures, at the same time, surely? Maybe I'm having trouble imagining this because I don't have children (never want to). When sex happens within a LTR, it is able to build and grow and deepen with the passage of time. The s… | /r/RedPillWomen | 25/04/17 06:16 PM |
| 2 | Sex and commitmentThat's an interesting analogy, and I've given much thought to what you said. However, I'm having a hard time (I'm not smart lol) imagining how too much excitement could conflict with stability, within a relationship. Perhaps some examples could help me understand better? Different perspectives fascinate me, and I'm always interested to learn how others make things work for them. | /r/RedPillWomen | 25/04/17 04:43 PM |
| 2 | Sex and commitmentExcitement is the opposite of stability Conversely, a steady supply of "excitement" can provide stability, because it negates the need for seeking thrills outside the stable relationship. Sex and commitment, while very important, isn't enough to hold a relationship together if "excitement" isn't there. I've noticed that a relationship is strongest when two people often share moments together that make their hearts pound with adrenaline -- some form of excitement that usually involves physical ac… | /r/RedPillWomen | 25/04/17 06:40 AM |

I haven't looked there in awhile), and not to be associated with, or risk erectile dysfunction. I don't go to bars, but I get guys approaching me in random public places to ask me the weirdest questions, or have the most head-scratching small-talk with me (especially when I'm a captive audience belted into a plane seat on a long flight.. ugh). Sometimes I laugh at them, and they'd assume I think they'r… | /r/RedPillWomen | 24/04/17 08:35 PM |
| 2 | Sex and commitmentMonogamy is super rare in relationships where kink is a "lifestyle" (instead of just bedroom roleplay). "Lifestyle" types are usually those in Dominant/submissive or Master/slave relationship dynamics. I've only known one monogamous couple who lasted past a decade. They're my age, and still married, so might last a few more decades too!

| 2 | Sex and commitmentDid/do you have such a relationship for the long haul? For me, the shortest one lasted almost 3 years, longest one lasted 6 years. Mostly living together. Breakups are usually because of conflicting life goals (both parties wanting to go different directions in life, to different places), or communication issues (incompatible cultures), or simply not compatible to live together (a combination of many small reasons). Do such relationships tend to last longer or fall apart faster? Neither. IMO, ki… | /r/RedPillWomen | 24/04/17 06:45 PM |

In modern English it generally refers to a woman whose fetish is watching, and deriving sexual pleasure from watching, a man having sex with one or several women besides his girlfriend, fiancée, wife or other long-term female sex partner.

You can make up for the lack of these with a (subtle) display of talent/skill (don't be a show-off, because that will be repulsive at best, or make you look desperate at worst). and rarely go dates with them; when I do I can't seem to keep their interest ^ Definitely sounds like you're lacking in conversation skills, or you're not able to read non-verb… | /r/RedPillWomen | 24/04/17 02:48 PM |

Just speaking for myself (I know this doesn't work for everyone) : I now finally realize why having a bdsm dynamic always resulted in very fulfilling relationships as far as sexual satisfaction and commitment goes.

Manipulators keep you on a "need to know" basis, so you're easier to manipulate, often using "lying by omission" too. Good leaders will delegate tasks to people who are more qualified to do the job, and are more concerned about the outcome/result, and don't mind that you use your own methods.

My Ob/Gyn kept reminding me that it's more risky after 32 or so (early 30s, and only for a first-child birth, and he thought I wanted children because I had a long term partner).

But I'm the kind of person who prefer not to shun anyone my friendship if they were the "wrong gender". And on that regard, it would be very wrong of me to tell my guy "I'm not going to accept you being close friends with other women" lol I strongly believe in fairness.

No reason to bring up irrelevant things like personal views/values, only to cause conflict with people who feel strongly against it.

Some people in their 20s, especially with the right life experiences, can be very mature. I tend to be attracted to guys older than me. The youngest I've dated is 3 years younger than me, while the oldest is 22 years my senior. That said, I don't recommend dating with a wide age gap if you're aiming for long term.

| 11 | I hate the articles posted.Yeah, I particularly like this part: the Red Pill philosophy isn’t about submitting to all men, all the time, no matter what they want; it’s about using your femininity and SMV to attract a man who’s worth submitting to. This is a great nutshell of RPW. I don't care for anything from TRP, but RPW is a great resource for my goals of self improvement. | /r/RedPillWomen | 20/04/17 08:00 AM |
| 10 | Who Are the Women of Red Pill? Vice wrote an article.Fed-up with being treated like a piece of meat, a Melbourne artist has gone vegetarian in the name of feminism. Madison Griffiths, 22, refuses to eat meat as a way to protest male attitudes towards the 'consumption of women'. She says she has become a vegetarian in a stance of solidarity between women and animals – both of which are seen by men as 'appetising conquests'. What kind of cannibals have she been dating? Also, why is she equating women to animals? That's beyond hilarious. | /r/RedPillWomen | 20/04/17 06:11 AM |

I don't believe that bottling strong emotions is good for you, and "STFU" doesn't apply when some things need to be said/action taken.
