haven't been on this sub in ages (saw this scrolling through reddit) If there was nothing fishy going on, then surely she would tell you she was going to drop the vacuum off? How did she explain the dick pick? change 70% to 99% dude. In my humble opinion, i would be rethinking whether i wanted to be in a marriage with someone who cheats on me (there is an obvious answer to this). Sorry to hear about the situation. Please dont delude yourself here, it really sounds like she is lieing

No worries. I know im good there, im not outstanding though I've fucked some more, ahem, experienced girls, and they havent been overly impressed this girl hasn't had nearly as many sexual partners, is very petite, and more easily impressed. From her perspective i'm outstanding in bed sounds like your from my country as well. Hope you steered clear of those advertised roosh meetups!

No, thats not what i said, nor what was implied, nor even true. She generally cums multiple times every day (at least once), initiates sex frequently, sucks my dick as soon as she wakes up every single day I'm not saying im a sex god, and I havent always been good in bed. She is, however, definitely well-satisfied with my sexual performance. You can probably tell from my post that i have some insecurities, but my performance when manhandling this petite babe is not one of them If anything, i'm t…

Yes and no. I have nothing of her on my social media either, its just i dont take photos so dont have any to post I'm certainly her main, but probably not her future. Both she and I are smart enough to realise this. For different reasons. She will likely head overseas for work within a couple of years, and tbh my SMV is increasing steadily that by that stage i wont care if she moves on, and may move on myself

yeah, i hear ya man. I keep aware and notice those signs too. She already knows if we stop frequently having sex that ill bail. I don't mind having sex once a day at a minimum (on average), so a little decrease is fine.

If you're having sex sometimes 4 or 5 times a day, your girl isn't going to cum every time I'm not sure how experienced in bed you are, but thats the real world. Sometimes people (both men and women) find it hard to come. Especially if they're having sex multiple times every single day

fair enough. I tend to think of negging and teasing as different things. teasing friends is usually light hearted, and not designed to make them feel weak. Negging on the other hand the goal seems to be different. here you are teasing with the aim of lowering somone's confidence or lowering the value they give themself
/r/TheRedPill08/12/15 12:29 AM

i think negging is only useful on unintelligent people These days most intelligent girls know what negging is. They notice if you do it and your actions become transparent. Instead of demonstrating you are dominant, it does the exact opposite... demonstrating that you need manipulative tricks to try and feign dominance. It will work on most people, i guess. I have a few very smart girlfriends and wouldnt bother with it personally

decent premise, but as far as experiments go this one is potentially massively confounded. First of all, maybe you are just feeling way more confident/attractive and girls get this vibe. Secondly, you admit you are trying to "confirm" something in your title, and then find exactly that. This is poor science. Essentially, you are biased into finding exactly what you found, and the result may be due to you trying to make that happen subconsciously. Its a cool story, but we can't really take a lot …

/r/TheRedPill17/09/15 05:03 AM

The fact remains that most rapes are perpetrated by people who are well known to the victim So, when he makes his dumb rape argument, it only applies to a small minority of real rape situations. This shows he doesnt know what the fuck hes talking about You claiming i've warped the perspective? Cos my example is the vast majority of rapes... You think this is walking through a bear's den? Debating you is more like taking candy from a retarded toddler

You're a fucking moron in that example, and not just because you opened your dumb mouth. You've also internalised some bullshit you've read here (yes, not everything here is posted by people who know what the fuck they are talking about) The vast majority of rapes are not the "stranger jumping out of bushes rape" that you talked about. Most rapes are perpetrated by people well known to the victim. If you parked your car in your buddy's garage, and left it on, with the door open, etc etc, and he …

None of the staff will have strong disapproval... it's a very incestuous department with high ranking officials banging grad students To that end, my job and career are not in danger. My reputation among some feminist friends may be, but more in a gossipy sort of way than outright shaming (i'd easily hold my own if confronted)

Aside from some feminist friends, i dont think anyone will give a shit. The whole point of the email to HR is to get the all-clear so that it can't come back on me professionally (excluding a false rape allegation or something, although i'm not worried about that). My job isn't in jeapordy, my college friends are the only ones who will give a shit

Right on man, tell your fucking friend. I care enough about my mates that I would tell them. If it burns the relationship, so be it. He will eventually know the truth and respect me for telling him like it is Not only that, but OPs other friend will clearly back him up. If the social circle starts turning on OP, his friend can be like "nah she did the same shit to me" and that is enough proof for the social circle to back OP up, even if the husband is a lost cause

obviously we make the generalisation that AWALT, while knowing that in actual fact some women behave differently. The generalisation is useful because in the AVERAGE situation, the woman will respond in the AVERAGE way. What trpSenator is saying is that he feels he is able to somewhat accurately discriminate between the girls who are holding out because they arent sluts, and the girls holding out as a trick. Not everyone needs to stick wholeheartedly to the generalisation that AWALT, although it…

unsure why u were downvoted for this comment... Throwing around homophobic terms like "faggot" is deplorable in this day and age. The term has obviously come to be derogatory, and using it in this way further strengthens this association. I wonder if the_USUPER has ever had a gay friend/relative deal with distress from hearing this kind of shit. Despite Louis C.K.'s thoughts on the term, it's a shitty thing to do, and really shows immaturity or just a general lack of intellect

Well, this wont be the reason why you have that instinct, but genital herpes comes to mind. 20% of the population has it. Thats a lot. If someone has slept with 100 people, it's likely at least 20 had genital herpes (although not necessarily an outbreak, transmission can be while asymptomatic). Factor in other incurable diseases like genital warts, and you've got very good reasons to avoid women with high partner counts (and also good reasons to avoid fucking as many women as possible as others …

avoiding conflict isnt a major symptom of social anxiety Social anxiety is summed up by excessive worrying about what others think about you, to the point it impairs your life (social, work, home life). The key thing is excessive. It is normal to worry about what others think of you sometimes. Avoiding conflict may be a symptom of social anxiety, but not really a defining feature

My response was kind of tongue in cheek, but i think there is some misinterpretation. no stimulus is not more painful than a negative one, it's that the people preferred the negative stimulus. That doesn't mean no stimulus is more painful. Cutting isn't really a good example. Most cutters are getting a sense of relief out of their cutting. E.g. they are feeling overwhelmed by negative emotion, and cutting somehow relieves that distress. In that way, cutting is reinforcing. Generally, people aren…

In the course of about 2 years, I've gone from blue-pilled monogamy, to spinning a few plates for a couple months. After a herpes scare (and only a scare - thankfully) i'm rethinking my "fuck em if i find em attractive" stance i've had. Keep your shit clean bro, I'm not gonna fuck sluts anymore. If i get a hint they've been with heaps of guys, i'm gonna pass. Sex with multiple women is great, but having herpes would be so so bad.

His point is: Strategy 1 is more likely to lead to quality offspring that have a higher chance of reproducing and raising subsequent offspring successfully. As you can have a large role in shaping their personality/lifes, you have a lot of influence that should turn them into awesome people Of course, strategy 2 can probably lead to a greater quantity of offspring. But if these are going to be poor/fatherless, they will probably be less likely to successfully raise quality grandchildren (due to …

I'll stop short of saying that he "should have submitted to her wishes...", but he should have been ready for what transpired and acted appropriately.

Gripping her wrist tightly is clearly going to escalate the situation. There are other ways to act when she has her fist up that are much better.

People are quick to condemn the female here (and rightly so), but where is the condemnation of the man? He clearly shoves his way past her and someone else to get to the bar, which is what started the altercation in the first place. He then escalated it when he could have de-escalated fairly easily. She deserves blame for what happened, but i have literally 0 sympathy for him. He put himself in a shitty situation, and his actions directly contributed to what transpired.

that experiment doesn't cast doubt on the "universality of operant conditioning" Do you even know what operant conditioning is? Behavioursm does NOT think of humans as a blank slate. You are creating a scarecrow to argue against and then tearing it down. Behaviourism as a discipline freely admits that there are genetic drivers to behaviour, and that people are born with instinctual responses. We are also products of our reinforcement histories and these interact with the genetic predispositions …

This is true. However, a promiscuous man is still allowed to have a preference for non-promiscuous women based on the logic in the OP. E.g. A fat man can still prefer to fuck fit women.

definitions are a bit flawed. Reward and reinforcement are essentially exactly the same.

Lol, a woman can certainly stop partying at 30 and go for a career, but who gives a shit? Men don't care about women's career, they care about their looks. Women are not attractive because they are successful, they are attractive because of their physical qualities and femininity. This is obvious. I know a 30 year old woman who earns 200k a year, and is a 5/10. I would not fuck her, and certainly wouldnt consider a relationship with her. Success in a woman means nothing to a man.

Regarding 2) I don't think there is anything wrong with clearly and concisely communicating his displeasure with her appearance. The key is not to harp on about it. Don't whine. Don't bring it up all the time. Tell her she needs to change her situation. He can still run dread game. It's important she has a clear understanding of why he is not happy with her, rather than figuring it out for herself, which will not lead to the conclusion that she needs to work out more

i dont disagree with anything you just said. Feel free to continue arguing with yourself i have merely had the opinion that socialisation is also important in determining behaviour.

"they start biologically therefore biology is the greatest factor involved" This is not sound logic. I never denied biology is hugely important in determining behaviour.

regarding reassurance (this was a common theme in how you dealt with her being upset) The evidence suggests that for a parent of an anxious child, constant reassurance helps to maintain the worrying. Think of it this way. Your lovey dovey attention from reassuring her is very reinforcing. She learns (probably not consciously) that by worrying and coming to you with her fears she will receive the goods. Rinse repeat.
/r/TheRedPill04/12/14 12:33 PM

pretty much on the money confused is the wrong term, as conscious awareness isnt necessary for reinforcement to have effect. It's well known that different schedules of reinforcement produce different patterns of behaviour. Variable ratio schedules produce fast and steady behaviour, so thats what we should use.

Two different approaches Men: Actively seek to change the shape (solve the problem itself) Women: Change their cognitions. Read congratulatory magazines, watch Glee, You go girl! I'm a real woman with curves!

Meh, anyone can rationalise their situation in life like that. "its not my fault im fat, my parents started feeding me McDonalds from a young age and we never ate healthy or exercised" At a certain point, you have to put that shit on a shelf and look at what you could do/have done to be better physically. You lost weight due to your behaviour, you were fat when you didnt do this behaviour. There may have been significant predisposing/maintaining factors that were outside your control, but it is …

the Ben Franklin effect is the result of cognitive dissonance.

im focussing on autism specifically because that was what the comment was about up above. It wasn't about general health. If autism was just chosen as an example, then it was a poorly chosen example and he should be set straight so he doesnt get caught out saying that shit to someone who is familiar with the research base

I understand the more focus on the mother, that is fine. I'm okay with that, it is consistent with research etc. I'm not okay with people pretending the father has no influence, which is what was happening, and which is stupid. Read the initial comment i responded to at the top, his last line. He sarcastically dismissed a true statement that is based on valid research. I never said that a mothers age is not important. I'm simply saying a father's age also plays a role in autism - which was the s…

Wow! you found an irrelevant meaningless correlation! Any person worth their salt can realise that is retarded, that doesnt mean scientific studies are "rarely about truth" Not all science uses correlational studies, and not all correlational studies are bad. You obviously have no idea wtf you are talkign about So what if the main component is the mother? thats not what i was arguing about. A significant part of the risk is paternal age as well, look at the fucking graph that YOU linked.

this is laughable. Science is pretty much defined as the empirical search for truth. Life is about drawing inferences from statistics (even if these statistics are just your personal experiences). The graph you linked shows that the risk goes up with the age of both father and mother, although slightly more for mother. compare that to what you say above... the magazine reported correctly. They were correct. They were 100% correct in what they said with regard to a massive amount of scientific li…

Actually, from what she said it sounds like she wasnt riding the cock carousel (not every single female does). Maybe she actually did and just doesnt want to sound like a slut, but maybe she didnt. This makes it a bit more sad for her. She's slowly realising that not being a slut in her youth hasn't actually worked out as she expected - she is still not highly valued by men.

The communicate point is important, but i think the way you have outlined it is misleading. Communication is important in so far as your partner knows what you want/expect, and vice versa. If there is a problem brewing, e.g. your partner is doing something which you don't like (for example, has taken up smoking ciggarettes), it is important to communicate you are not satisfied with this. Another example would be rewarding behaviour that you want to see happen more often (e.g. giving your partner…

While it may be true that high partner count may be correlated with instability in marriage, it is going too far to suggest that it is causal (there is no evidence for this) It is just as likely there is another (or several) variables influencing both.

"the whole thing" is likely not a scam, although overdiagnosis may be. ADHD is a real disorder (which can be debilitating to a child's development), and there are ways to combat this overdiagnosis.

This has been downvoted, but i think you have a point, so i gave u an upvote. Someone who is naturally dominant does most of these things without thinking about them. Individual tricks and tips are nice, but the key thing to work on is the underlying quality we all want to possess - dominance. If we achieve this then most of these things should fall into place. This thread is still valuable though, these things are great to get into your behavioural reportoire if you're not there yet.

yup. This goes for men too by the way. There is a lot of experimental behavioural psychology research showing that people are often horrible at describing their behaviour. It's not always a conscious thing, we just aren't great at describing what we do

the "its only creepy if im not attracted to the guy" is easily explained by cognitive dissonance. People in general like to have consistent thoughts and behaviours.

what the kid believes during and after the divorce is not necessarily what we as grown adults take out of it. Im 27 and thought my father was an asshole after my mum divorced him when i was 11. It took more than a decade before i could see the situation for what it truly was. I'd still agree he should walk away though.

I think the attractive thing is meant to diffuse the situation slightly using cognitive dissonance. For example: Whimpy kid makes remark about "strong independent woman". Him being a "horrible sexist" is in alignment with her view of him as weak, unworthy. Therefore, he gets no respect. Attractive male makes same remark. Him being a horrible sexist is not consistent with her view of him as a strong, masculine guy she wants to fuck. She interprets it instead as "hes funny and engaging", or "hes j…

If we broke up i would be attempting to run game on chicks at uni and their frieInds not going to bars looking to pickup skanks everynight (although occasionally i will go as a wingman and have fun) 0 chance i marry. I saw the way my mum fucked over my dad.

not trying to be a dick, but the thing you stressed as most significant was actually a null result

this seems like a really misguided statement... taking TRP too far maybe? she is a nice person and exceptionally nice to me, good at cooking, good at sex, good job, funny, etc etc i dont NEED her, but she does make my life better Women are not always the enemy bud

the reason i am not worried about this is she has one of those intra-uterine-devices which make it physically impossible to get pregnant. Removing it is a painful medical procedure. Of course, it could be done sneakily but the chances of her doing this are very slim

im kind of going back and forth on the subject. i often think that i should just break up with her. Other times ill tell myself its a good relationship right now and i should just ride it for a while i dont really know what im asking, just hoping for some opinions on the situation (which are being provided) im grateful for all comments so far. I just dont wanna do anything i will later regret

not dissatisfied i never was powerless, she always loved me more than i loved her which results in the obvious dynamic. tbh i think the place ppl look for girls is wrong. A sexy girl (an 8) in my class told me she has only slept with one guy (shes 23 and its a LTR since she was 17). admittedly she does seem abnormal in that she dresses conservatively etc, but they are out there.

i used the terminology i was comfortable with originally, i suggested the change so you wouldnt nitpick on an unimportant detail. If i go ahead I would probably tell her the truth... that i still love her but im not looking to marry or have kids and i think the best thing for both of us is to break up

fair enough. Im not trying to be cruel, im genuinely seeking advice. I have had frank discussions with her where i just say i dont know what i will want in the future, and she avoids the subject now Im a newcomer to TRP, so im still digesting information and its quite a steep learning curve.

Im capable of being honest with myself. There is an element of love there. Being in a LTR with someone who you once fell in love with you grow to love them in a different way later. I also admit the cowardice and selfishness aspects, but they arent the only reasons i have stayed with her lately if it makes it better semantically, remove the word "love" and replace with "really like" or something similar

this is the conclusion i come to often then i remember how good she is to me, that my life is a LOT better for having been with her, and that she will probably continue to benefit me greatly It is a mixture of selfishness, love (in the traditional sense, not the lusting love you can feel for a new partner), and cowardice that is keeping me with her Edit: I should clarify. I have no immediate plan for marriage/baby, and told her that "i just dont know" with regard to the future, which is the trut…

I don't really understand the point you are trying to make, it's not negatively affecting me I'm glad i found this subreddit, i also have empathy for the shitty situation my significant other finds/will find herself in. Not everyone is a heartless bastard

of course, you do have to be careful not to abuse this too much. Everyone knows a friend who always wants rides or something and never chips in, and they get a bad rap for it too

the Ben Franklin effect is actually just using cognitive dissonance to your advantage. The person realises they are doing you a favour or favours, and they then adjust their opinion of you to bring their cognitions into line with their behaviour

In saying that, the other p values for other tests were listed as all <.04 in your text so those ones are significant. The .05 may seem like an arbitrary number, but is there for a reason. If we flipped a coin 100 times and it came up tails 60% of the time, the p-value on the significance test may come out as .09. This means the difference in the flips observed (40 vs 60) is not significant, and the observed difference could be expected to happen by chance 9% of the time rather than there being …

just wanted to clarify an error in your summary of the data: "the traits in this study were still significance and the one that was most significant was social respect (p = 0.81)" this is not true. the commonly accepted p value for significance is one that is below 0.05. This P value is above that value, and so would be classed as a "non-significant" result - i.e. social respect did not have an effect based on this sentence "For social respect, t(7927) = 1.51 (p = .081)". As an aside, p values b…

if its "my" girl, as in my girlfriend, i will call the guy out immediately and wont back down from a fight (although wont start one) unless hes 6 foot 6 and built Letting this go without confrontation is being a bitch imo. if its not my girlfriend, i wont care.
