That stat comes from one study on which gender leaves during brain cancer. The bigger picture, according to same article you citr, doesn’t show nearly this kind of gender difference when you’re considering all variety of disabling diseases and marriage overall: If you are hoping that these are rare horror stories, there is some comfort to be had: most people – regardless of gender – do not leave their partners when they get sick. In a 2015 paper, researchers tracked 2,701 marriages using a study…

See the comment you originally replied to, I qualifed the gym part of five as being fine, it was everything else. Confidence does not equal being sexually forward and direct (yeah, there is sweet spot between direct and shy, but you can’t just slot to one direction, you need to find the spot), and the whole thing of not being friendly to women youre into is just dumb and totally unmotivated by data. I’ve seen trp types argue you should never smile around women you’re into, good luck with this re…

I guess, but in terms of this sub being cross discussion between blue and red, I feel like you can be bluepill and accept 1&2.

But saying most of it isn’t controversial isn’t even true here. 1&2 are just straight forwardly what evolutionary psychology has been arguing since the 80s with a lot of lines of data to support it, but 3,4,5 are controversial to me as they’re based a lot more in conjecture than robust data, particularly 5, where I don’t think the data at all argues for such a rigid approach. So it’s not just aggressive language, there are claims that trpers believe that derive or coincide with 1&2 that seem exa…

I’m just curious which bluepill beliefs do you think held you back? Just some general reactions from a no-piller to what you’ve categorized as rp beliefs: 1, 2 seem pretty self-evident to me and I don’t feel conflict with blue bill or at least normie/no pill views. 3,4 seem to have grains of truth but overstate the case (I’m skeptical you could bare them out with data as robustly as you could 1,2) and 5, other than the gym part, seems to lack nuance to me as a broad generalization though maybe i…

But a fluid system can lack insight if it doesn’t allow you to make any generalizations. That’s not necessarily a big deal, I think a lot of people just experience dating and attraction as is without any larger meta-pill theory of what’s going on, but I can also see why people are looking for some system of guidance, either out of disappointment or general curiosity. Personally, I think the biological generalizations trp draws from do a reasonable job of giving insight into aspects of dating, it…

Lol, I linked to a thorough article explaining how much of an obstacle the biology of set point is to losing weight once it's put on, but you're going to try to sidestep all that with this goofy ass shooting-from-the-hip argument that "orange juices diets" and other fad approaches explain away all the decades of research on obesity and the failures of dieting.

Set point is sketchy science. It's never been sketchy, but especially very recently, where you have medication that prevents the well-documented increase in weight that typically follows dieting, it's pretty difficult to offer up credible skepticism of it. "Nearly 2,000 participants, at 129 centers in 16 countries, injected themselves weekly with semaglutide or a placebo for 68 weeks. Those who got the drug lost close to 15 percent of their body weight, on average, compared with 2.4 percent amon…

Well, they are changing their diet, that's how any weight loss takes place in the first place. But then there are the effects that happen after the weight loss where metabolism slows and hunger ramps up, which typically leads to more calorie consumption and weight regain. The medication I describe above intervenes in this process and that's why there is much more weight loss among people taking that than those just doing diet and exercise alone. The general process for why calorie consumption in…

You can definitely debate what a disease is and isn't, but it's pretty cut and dry that the glp-1-targeting class of medications make a lot of impact in treating obesity, much more so than diet and exercise alone: "Nearly 2,000 participants, at 129 centers in 16 countries, injected themselves weekly with semaglutide or a placebo for 68 weeks.

>I don't know why that's the case, It's basically the set point issue. Evolution crafted us in ways that emphasize maintaining weight, not losing it, because losing it was not an issue for most of human history because over-abundance of food was never an issue. So when you put on excess weight for years and then lose it, your body attempts to move you back to that original weight through ramping up hunger, hence the all the yo-yoing. It's somewhat counter-intuitive, everybody wants to believe th…

We don’t coddle smokers and alcoholics We didn't reduce smoking and alcoholism just through public awareness campaigns, we did it by thoroughly regulating the industries that profit on them. And in response to covid's effect on the obese, many countries increased regulation on the food industries (e.g. Mexico and Chile banning sales of junkfood to minors) , but not the US, because frankly, we'd rather fuck ourselves over with a libertarian free-for-all than prioritize public health: https://www.…

Maybe chattering class “leftists” with no political power do, but in countries where leftists actually have substantial numbers of elected officials, they regulate the food industry and nutritional standards and keep obesity rates from rising as dramtically.

Copium is when you have something that just provides flimsy plausible deniability cover with weak research backing it, like the belief that stereotypes effect test scores, "The stereotype about blondes got me nervous and I couldn't do well on the test," a self-serving belief with little research substantiation.

I mean 42 is hardly old in terms of testosterone decline, but whatever, your body, do what you want. I just don't understand why if you have no problem tinkering with one hormone system to deal with body fat and muscle distribution, you have issue with a medication that tinkers with hormones control set point effects (glp-1), and the well validated theory underlying it.

Interesting that happens in Colorado.

I remember an MTV true life where an obese but otherwise pretty young woman got bariatric surgery and it just totally changed her social life. Social life isn’t everything for everyone, no guarantee they’d be happier, but as is, a whole world is cut off to women like this to really explore.

What is really amazing that people think obesity is about about being sedantry (sitting around watching netflix) when the research has been in for some time now that culprit is food not exercise.

Oh I totally get it. Also consider that we’re expecting children to make the the right decisions on something that will impact them for life when we full well know how limited their decision-making capacity is. We don’t prosecute kids as adults, nor allow them drugs or alcohol, but with high calorie food and obesity, we just go, “yeah this eight year could have made the responsible choice if they wanted to.” And a big part of what I think legitimates that attitude is that if kids get fat when yo…

You bring up a good point that I glossed over.

Well, like I said, these new medications could make a significant difference and you might finally see many obese people losing weight for the longterm for the first time.

etti Doubt there is much generational difference in gender, it has to do with women typically having less muscle mass then men, so they tend to put on weight. The difference you see generationally is the obesity and overweight rate is much higher among millennials and gen z because it begins in childhood and adolescence.

Most of what I see is by leftists is talk about redistributing wealth, and there is nothing against human nature in that. Wealth inequality has been an issue since humans went agricultural and not addressing it adequately has led to societal decay time and time again.

If you’re normal weight, I agree with you. If you’re 40-50 lbs over weight or more and have been for multiple years, you can exercise for health, but to try to reduce your weight to a normal level to look attractive, it is going to be exceedingly difficult. This is because the body ramps up hunger when you lose more than 10% of your body weight, such that 95% of people regain their old level of body weight within 2-5 years (so those people with headlines about losing 100+ pounds do exist but it’…

It literally robbed you a year of safe social outings where you could meet and potentially pick up women because they wanted to politicize vaccines. Yeah, you could still go out but the lack of critical mass of vaxing significantly limited the amount of people willing to go out and put a huge damper on social interactions. Fuck this retard version of freedom.

I don’t think this is true at all. It might have been in the 60s but nature end of the nurture debate was pretty robustly argued through the 90s and attained hegemony. For example most liberal pundits don’t deny IQ is partly inborn. In fact some have argued things like universal basic income should exist because of the unfairness of innate differences and how even a purely meritocratic system exacerbates that inequality to the point where the majority aren’t invested in keeping society going.

I think if you mean redpill in it’s original sense, seducing women through charm, honestly or deceptively, I think the people actually successful with that are apolitical.

Men should definitely care about how intelligent a woman is. It’s potential indicator she could be very into sex: “Both men and women in the top percentile of promiscuity report higher intelligence scores than do their less well-traveled peers. This also holds true for women but not men in the top 5% of promiscuity. Top-five percentile men have IQs only slightly higher than their less sexually adventurous peers.” https://ifstudies.org/blog/promiscuous-america-smart-secular-and-somewhat-less-happ…

In addition to TRP books, I’d read the evolutionary psychology TRP tries to draw from and contrast it with the TRP books and what this crowd says (two good layperson books are the Evolution of Desire and Why Woman Have Sex, both by David Buss, the later coauthored with a university colleague). When you contrast TRP with what these scienctific accounts say, you can see the gaps between what TRPs claim to be true and what we actually know. Yes, you could say the evo psych claims are not settled sc…

The Roman Banquet doesn’t argue for your perspective at all. The elite were the segments of those societies that were known for their obesity precisely because they were the only ones who could regular gorge on highly palatable, high calorie food (my whole point). I even cited this point from an obesity researcher earlier in the exchange: “Wealthy individuals throughout history that had access to expertly prepared rewarding/palatable food were much more likely to be obese. No one, until recently…

I think you’re misreading what I wrote. I never claimed a vegetarian diet was better than a meat heavy diet or vice versa. I stated the kind of hyper-palpablity that processed foods have (this isnt just food with additives, but all foods modified to be very tasty), the kind that lead to excessive calorie consumption are detrimental, and I provided several links to what i was talking stout. There is nothing hand-wavy here, but it does require reading up on the topic. Any links on studies of plast…

No, you don’t have to restrict yourself to the hadza, you can see the relationship I’m getting at through observing diets of cultures from non-industrialized societies broadly. Here’s one such distillation: “If you take a careful look at the diets of healthy non-industrial cultures, even if some contain highly flavored items, they are almost invariably centered around one or a few simple staple foods such as taro, sweet potatoes, hand-pounded rice, milk, meat or nuts. These typically make up the…

Oh yeah, but that’s a consequence of how hard it is to lose weight once you put it on. People like to believe weight is fixable through a few months of dieting, but it’s much harder than that because of how the body tries to conserve body weight (it interprets a weight loss of more than 10% as a starvation like situation and ramps up hunger). The Fat Trap sums this up well: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/magazine/tara-parker-pope-fat-trap.html However if the majority of us opted out of the m…

I don’t get why you’re bringing up smoking, its effects on the heart are well known, I never said diet was more important than that. I didn’t think it needed to be stated, but I’m clearly I’m taking about reducing heart disease among non smokers and those taking other deliberate heart risks (alcoholics). Transfats are clearly bad for the heart, sugars can affect atherosclerosis as well as inflammation with heart disease, but its not clear things like saturated fat and red meat (look up TMAO) are…

Yeah, that’s why I qualified it with “basically.” If you had heart disease down to what the hadza experience, it’d be very rare. Nobody said diet could correct everything, but that’s no reason to not make the best of it. Also, i’m mostly referring to atherosclerosis (narrowing of the artery walls) when I’m talking about diet related heart disease.

Just posting this as a general FYI because I suffered this misconception up until a few years ago, not because you necessarily do though. Exercise does not seem to have much effect on regulating weight. It might do a little at the margins, and can help for recomposition (building muscle), but diet seems to be the bigger factor on putting on weight. https://www.vox.com/2016/4/28/11518804/weight-loss-exercise-myth-burn-calories As you can read in the Vox piece, various segments of the food industr…

I can’t deny he pulled his weight in murder groupies, but if he wasn’t a killer I’m kinda skeptical he’d do that well (I think above average for sure but not have women throwing themselves at him). But I’m a dude, so maybe I don’t fully get the vibe or look that he gives that does it for women.

You mean frozen vegetables? I don’t think there is any downside there, nor frozen berries which i eat regularly.

Well, you have on record people who lived 100+ years and ate badly & drank and smoked throughout it so it seems likely genetics could beat diet for at least a few people. https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/this-122-year-old-smoked-until-117-and-ate-2-pounds-of-chocolate-a-week-befe21e696f0 But i think a better way to look at it would be to see how people with average genes fair without a shitty modern diet.

Killing them in self defense is a totally different thing than killing them for their crimes. You can be totally fine with Rittenhouse’s self defense claim but also think that extrajudicial killing for past crimes is no kind of argument or justice. Anyway, I got no stake in this other than standing by basic reading comprehension, I’m apolitical on Rittenhouse’s killings. I just find his tubby beta look very, very funny.

Nah, good luck finding any research on obesity being easily managed, there’s about 60 years of research for the opposing view. It’s amazing that people can get blackpilled on long term relationships, where the evidence is petty flimsy, but not blackpilled on weight loss, where the evidence is solid. Get based, you food cucks.

Actually that makes more plain biological sense than the TRP “attention needy nature of women” take. Why go for a guy who has to work out at the gym a bunch than the guy who naturally puts on muscle from the gene point of view? I think there is also research that the muscle development women are attracted are the elements that are more genetically loaded, vs. the getting big and massive focus gym rats go for.
