| 1 | New information appears to link New Hampshire congressman Robert Fisher to r/TRP admin redpillschool. Thoughts?Bwahaha it's New Hampshire - the entire 400 person assembly is stuffed with kooks and failures. And being a politician, especially a legislator, usually has very little to do with being alpha. You have some odd ideas about the job. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/17 04:55 AM |
| 2 | Hero to ZeroI'll be honest, I'm mostly here to laugh at people... but what the fuck, I'll be serious for once. Yeah it comes from someone who thinks TRP is silly. But I've also been around the block a few times, and maybe you'll find it useful anyway. First off, in anyone's dating history, there will always be outliers - in whatever category. Once you've been through enough women and relationships, you'll get some perspective on this. There will be the smartest one, the kindest one, the kinkiest one, the mo… | /r/TheRedPill | 19/04/17 03:32 PM |
| 1 | I was a "thug" all my life, Reddit never understood me but maybe you can.Being secure in yourself generally means you have a lot less to prove to yourself or other people. In case you haven't noticed, most people who spend their weekend nights picking fights in bars are hideously insecure and fragile. And yes, fighting in an uncontrolled environment is always dangerous, no matter the opponent. And spending a few years training and competing gives you a very clear view into the fragility of the human body, as you see (and sustain) injury after injury in the gym - even… | /r/TheRedPill | 30/11/16 12:18 AM |
| 1 | I was a "thug" all my life, Reddit never understood me but maybe you can.How come? Of course they look for fights more than the average male, since they have a big advantage over the majority of the population, and therefore are more confident in the outcome. Lmao most actual MMA fighters are fairly secure in themselves, and also understand that fighting is unpredictable and dangerous. Their body is a resource, not to be squandered pointlessly. It's the tards that have a few months of training that are out in bars running their mouths, not the more serious guys. | /r/TheRedPill | 28/11/16 04:17 PM |

| 1 | Woman hits man, man hits back. Feminists and SJWs triggered into a frenzy.Still doesn't explain all the gnashing of teeth about how she punched him lmao. But thanks for mentioning that, it does add some context. The guys were calling her and her friends names like ‘whore’ and ‘slut.’ She took offense to it and yes she went around and slapped a couple of the guys. Eh, just like I suspected they're all assholes. Calling a girl a whore or a slut in public is provocative enough where it's not really self defense if you get hit and retaliate. Hell that's literally the most… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 07/11/16 12:00 AM |
| 2 | Woman hits man, man hits back. Feminists and SJWs triggered into a frenzy.Actual self defense is always more nuanced than that, and it's absolutely not as simple as who hit someone first. For example, the slap is actually battery - and only if the contact is unlawful (because striking first is a critical aspect of successful self-defense and the law recognizes that). Assaulting someone is mostly a verbal thing - it's about making someone believe that you will hurt them. There is a special category for attempted unsuccessful battery, but mostly it's about making someon… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 06/11/16 11:37 PM |
| 2 | Woman hits man, man hits back. Feminists and SJWs triggered into a frenzy.It's just bizarre to see so many people getting all up in arms about how she punched him when it was clearly just a slap - and not an open-palmed strike, a slap. It's like, you know, words have meanings. I'm not defending anyone, I'm questioning how many people here have actually seen the vid or know anything about fighting. Or maybe it's just a communal attempt to exaggerate the level of threat she represented. Just like all this talk about running up aggressively and hitting him out of nowhere… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 06/11/16 10:14 PM |

Think about the comment I replied to. If SJWs dislike Isis (and they do), then the "absolute worst" thing I can do is condemn Isis. That's some bizarre retarded lemming shit right there. Condemn behavior worth condemning, period, even if it comes from someone who you might agree with on some stances. Gotta have your own moral compass, nor subordinate it to group affiliations. | /r/MensRights | 06/11/16 09:19 PM |

| 0 | Girl attacks boy. Boy defends himself. Boy is ridiculed on Social Media for putting hands on a girl.It's entirely relevant - in both cases people were legally in the right to do what they did, but the level of force used was silly disproportionate for the situation and drew censure. Those kinds of takedowns are among the most damaging moves you can do to someone, and should be reserved for life or death situations or the gym - when you answer an attempted slap from a massively inferior opponent with something that's starting to approach deadly force, that's the very definition of disproportion… | /r/MensRights | 21/10/16 03:03 AM |
| 0 | Girl attacks boy. Boy defends himself. Boy is ridiculed on Social Media for putting hands on a girl.The cop wasn't charged with anything either and was legally in the right. And in a different context the methodology would have been correct - arrests in a hostile crowd are tricky business. But he was fired for having poor judgement, using disproportionate levels of force, and being a dick. Because the people he was dealing with were small and fragile. As I said in another comment: I'm comfortable with the fact that the law is on his side here and he's not in danger of being charged - but I'm a… | /r/MensRights | 20/10/16 08:46 PM |

Boy is ridiculed on Social Media for putting hands on a girl.In the world where you know everyone involved, can recognize a crowd of friends sheepishly hanging back, your own friends are there backing you up, and the only person you're fighting is freaking tiny. Shit, if he was actually dealing with a violent mini-mob, doing what he did would put him in tremendously more danger - escalating the levels of violence dramatically and putting himself on the ground to boot. It's a recipe for getting your shit stomped in. If you're out with a group of friends an… | /r/MensRights | 20/10/16 06:04 PM |
| 1 | Girl attacks boy. Boy defends himself. Boy is ridiculed on Social Media for putting hands on a girl.Spinal injuries are relatively unlikely when you do it on a mat, on concrete likelihood raises dramatically. As for head protection, it really doesn't, unless you make a special effort to wrap up the back of their head. It's quite easy to bounce the head on the ground - which is why she got a concussion and a seizure out of all of it. | /r/MensRights | 20/10/16 05:46 PM |

Boy is ridiculed on Social Media for putting hands on a girl.Because he was never in any serious danger and smashed someone half his size on pavement, sending them into a seizure. My coach used to ban dudes from the gym for life for doing shit like that on the street. Not all fights are matters of life and death. | /r/MensRights | 20/10/16 11:59 AM |
| -2 | Girl attacks boy. Boy defends himself. Boy is ridiculed on Social Media for putting hands on a girl.Context is everything. Yeah, you can treat every altercation like a life or death situation. It makes sense from a certain perspective. But be prepared to be seen like a douchebag - or even be attacked by the bystanders, because there are certain unspoken rules to violence and certain limits are expected. Put it this way, if I was her friend and saw him smack her around some - whatever, she had it coming. But if I saw that slam - I'd be treating that as him trying to kill her. At that point it d… | /r/MensRights | 20/10/16 11:56 AM |
| -13 | Girl attacks boy. Boy defends himself. Boy is ridiculed on Social Media for putting hands on a girl.Imo, a punch to the solar plexus would be perfect here - drop her out of the fight with no concussion or bloodspilling. I mean, sometimes in a fight you gotta do what you gotta do - but there is also such a thing as context, and not every altercation should be treated like a fight to the death. And when you have a huge advantage is size and training, you also have more options. When you're not in much danger, it's normal to expect a proportional response. I'm comfortable with the fact that the l… | /r/MensRights | 20/10/16 08:21 AM |

That's a fairly basic throw that's easy to train, and can be found in every gym. Mma folks usually aren't takedown specialists, which is why this is often a go-to. | /r/MensRights | 20/10/16 06:52 AM |
| -14 | Girl attacks boy. Boy defends himself. Boy is ridiculed on Social Media for putting hands on a girl.That technique is actually fairly likely to break ribs, cause spinal injuries, and slam a person's head on the pavement. He could have easily killed her. And he looked like he trains so should have known about that. I don't see much to be admired here tbh, and if he pulled that move on a small frail male that would have been shit too. | /r/MensRights | 20/10/16 06:41 AM |

| 2 | Female coworkersBro, look around. 98% of humans want no part of this working shit. It's unnatural and dehumanizing. None of us are meant for it, men are just more efficiently bludgeoned into thinking we are. In our natural habitat, hunter-gathering humans work waaaaay less and spend way more time socializing and hanging out. And most are psychologically and physically healthier for it - those that survive the absence of modern medicine anyway. | /r/TheRedPill | 22/09/16 09:02 PM |

Humans are nomadic hunter-gatherers by nature, and the whole "stay at home and nest" thing is brand new too, another product of agriculture. This was the first time in human history where it was possible to own real property that you can pass down to children, (aside from just the shit you can carry and basic easily made tools) and pumping out babies became a strategy that made a society powerful.

I think that it's generally useless and cruel to draw parallels to sensationally brutal crimes and claim them as some kind of standard. This is why people get fussy about terms like 'legitimate rape', etc. Rape is a huge spectrum of sexual crimes. Sometimes there is violence. Sometimes there is grotesquely absurd violence. Sometimes there isn't. Brutality of the crime itself has rather little to do with whether it's rape o… | /r/MensRights | 29/12/12 12:43 AM |

| 1 | Look out! It's a Nice Guy! DESTROY HIM!I don't think he's a bad guy, and I'm not saying you should marry just anyone. His concerns just sound silly to me, and point to sexual hangups of some kind. Past sexual partners might give me a slight hesitation about dating someone, but by the time I would even remotely be interested in something like marriage the quality of our relationship would be the most important consideration, not who she fucked in the remote past. | /r/MensRights | 06/12/12 06:24 PM |

Like, have you ever had a girl who you know has a crush on you but you're not interested do something nice for you? It's super goddamn uncomfortable. You don't want to hurt their feelings, or lead them on, or give the wrong impression, or appear ungrateful, etc. Everyone likes kindness, and help.

| 2 | Look out! It's a Nice Guy! DESTROY HIM!Sigh. Most likely you were 'good enough', but too shy to talk to women who were a good match for you. But regardless, who you are in college and who you are later out in the real world are very different things as well. And for most of us, living a few years makes us much more desirable as partners in general - maturity is sexy. Hell one of the reasons you had a hard time finding girls in college was because they were dating guys my age. Soon it will be your turn. | /r/MensRights | 30/11/12 02:52 AM |
| 1 | Look out! It's a Nice Guy! DESTROY HIM!You summed up exactly the feeling I got when I read that comment, and did a much better job than I would have. But I also may have misinterpreted the original statement. It seems that Jovial_Gorilla is concerned with the number and status of prior sexual partners more than anything else. Personally it never bothered me who my women have fucked before me, as long as everyone is clean. My own number is relatively high, and that's only a bonus in my book. | /r/MensRights | 30/11/12 02:22 AM |

I am simply a regular guy with roughly the same geographical and sociological background - but I never had a hard time finding partners, whether short term or long term. And I'm very much a 'nice guy' and nothing particularly special physically. I certainly don't have an issue with him wanting a younger partner either.

And I actually agree with you on the political front - in another comment in this thread I say "If you feel it wasn't fair, pay it forward and support relevant organizations (and don't cut your kid)".

Perhaps I should PM this, but at the same time it's such a common issue that perhaps posting it publicly could help others. If you don't feel very much during intercourse but can masturbate normally, it's possible that you sensitized your penis to need more stimulation than the vagina can provide.

I mean, having my foreskin is great and all, though I haven't known anything different. But can you still get hard? Can you orgasm? Do you enjoy sex? If you answered yes to all three you are officially overthinking this whole penis thing. Go stick it into something :) Pee on stuff.

But really, now that you're here, being depressed about it is kind of silly. If there is one thing I figured out by reading miles of internet debates on the topic is that for the most part all of us guys seem to enjoy sex a whole lot (as long as everything else is healthy), and most people with penises of either flavor can live a great sexually fulfilling life.

I have witnessed very few cases of girls/women going out of their way to not be rude.

But they are giving him pretty solid reasons why most women would feel vaguely threatened by his style of courtship. I sort of doubt that most women specifically look at their potential partners and try to intuit whether they'll assault them or not. I suspect it all happens on a much more intuitive level.

| 1 | Boy kicked off of girls field hockey team for being too good.If a girl can't pass through tryouts and beat out the boys, she shouldn't be on the team.

| 1 | Boy kicked off of girls field hockey team for being too good.Source? That's pretty messed up if true. Most of the time I've seen girls on football teams they were kickers. The ones that played in more contact-prone positions were generally not the worst players on the team (thus they probably passed legit tryouts). Of course, it's so rare, that these are fairly extraordinary young women. | /r/MensRights | 27/04/12 06:43 PM |

It doesn't change the fact that men in general are always going to be better than women at field hockey. Kind of if men for some reason didn't feel like doing any weight-lifting, it would then be a female-dominated sport, but men would still have the physical advantage. | /r/MensRights | 27/04/12 01:40 AM |

I don't think even die hard feminists don't acknowledge that there are huge physical differences between men and women. I understand that boys/girls sports will always generate a little conflict, but not because anyone pretends that the genders are equal in the physical arena.

Look it up in the dictionary, one of the definitions is "a woman of loose morals and ill repute". It's an insult.

She even argued that this would be better for him, because he wouldn't have to stay in a "relationship" in which the other person was unhappy. It dawned on me that this was the attitude, privately or publicly expressed, of nearly all… | /r/MensRights | 29/02/12 08:25 PM |

The fact that women have legally augmented their privilege to include extending a man’s obligations beyond the life of a relationship is just downright clever as fuck.too many men are saying "fuck that... why should we keep pulling the plow when women are sitting on the sidelines sipping tea?" The common egalitarian-feminist/lefist belief is that these roles were never important in the first place... that we can just set up government to take from those who produce (mostly men) to give to those who don't (mostly women) and again men are saying "fuck that" because that answer is, again, doubling down on men!!

FGM is institutionalized because it is illegal not to do it(Not in U.S., but other countries). That's the difference.

Men have been repeatedly objectified millions of time through the ages, just rarely as an entire gender. Being drafted and killed in war in the name of causes you don't support is about as objectified as it gets.

| 1 | Should men get married and be stuck with a lifetime of alimony?I love an occasional break too :) But you might find that doing cleaning/cooking for two people is a lot more difficult than doing it for yourself. It seems like economy of scale would come into play, but sometimes I swear, it's more than double the workload - and you have to accommodate your spouse's schedule.

Perhaps you should apply some of the skills you learned (being social and outgoing, not being fat, etc), and just ditch the focus on getting laid? Oddly enough, not caring about women is a pretty effective mindset for meeting them - as long as you're not just a fat nerd who never leaves the house, and starts stammering if he sees one at a party.

| 2 | I don't think I'm giving enough love, I feel jaded with meeting new people.To be honest, it's often harder to meet and befriend men than women, especially when you go to places where everyone else is focused on meeting women and getting laid. People do the stupid macho bullshit to pump themselves up, and that's why everyone looks "chodey". They probably feel the same way about you. Do some manly shit with dudes, without women around - and it will be a lot easier, people will be more real. | /r/seduction | 10/01/12 06:59 AM |
| 1 | New in town, 27 years old guy, right next to a college campus. Honestly, how do I meet people without being creepy?If you actually have little interest in feelings what do you want a relationship for anyway? Faking it is awfully hard work for easy (hah!) sex. When you find someone you want to settle down with you'll know and coming off emotionless won't be your problem. In the meantime, girls who need reciprocated feelings that you aren't willing or able to provide are way more trouble than they are worth anyway. There are enough women out there on your wavelength, as you put it. | /r/seduction | 13/10/11 05:14 PM |

We're still great friends, though my adopted little sisters make me worry sometimes - and my girlfriend will fume about it on occasion.

| 1 | New in town, 27 years old guy, right next to a college campus. Honestly, how do I meet people without being creepy?Not fixating on college girls is a great advice, that shit is retarded. But yeah, 27 isn't too old for nearly anyone - though you might find that a lot of college girls are just too young to relate to. I'm 29 and most 18-20 year old girls make me either want to smack them upside the head, or adopt them in a little-sisterly fashion. Tough certainly many are already mature, confident, and ready for a relationship of equals. | /r/seduction | 13/10/11 03:05 PM |

| 1 | Polygamy Apology. -Wut? Feminists are now pushing for polygamy? It seems like we have talked about this before in the MRM.It's possible that polygamy is advantageous to a woman as far as reproduction is concerned, but reproductive success is no longer how we measure quality of life. Polygamists have a history of treating women as property, unfortunately, which makes it difficult to say that polygamy is implicitly beneficial to women. Anyway, I haven't read the book - just anticipating its argument. | /r/MensRights | 05/05/11 06:57 PM |
| 1 | Polygamy Apology. -Wut? Feminists are now pushing for polygamy? It seems like we have talked about this before in the MRM.In practice? Really?

| 1 | What are the serious benefits of marriage vs. staying single in a long term relationship?So, you start off by saying how easily people do end up bailing on marriages anyways but then talk about how, if you're someone who takes commitment seriously you should get married? Don't you see how those married individuals would still be reserving their own right to leave(and, in some cases, very justifiably so)?

| 3 | A thought-experiment: making women's reproductive rights equal to men's...The whole problem is one of self ownership. She owns herself, and you can't tell her what to do with her own body, unless very specific conditions (such as, another life being threatened). So, as long as fetus is not considered a person, abortion must be legal, and men don't get a choice in the matter. So in a sense I agree with you - we can't ever be completely equal here, and it's not an easy position for anyone.

To me it sounds like you like the idea of commitment, but the idea of making it legally binding rubs you the wrong way. In a way I agree with you - nothing is really supposed to change much after a marriage, and if it does you might be doing it wrong.

| 1 | When given a choice between marriage and divorce it leads to unhappiness. When there is no choice, people are happier.The issues you are talking about can arise outside of a marriage as well, while marriage doesn't automatically mean kids.

Now, I think it's absolutely horrible that the system is biased against men in custody cases, but that's not a marriage issue, that's a kids issue - it would be a problem regardless of whether you're married or not.

| 1 | What are the serious benefits of marriage vs. staying single in a long term relationship?The big benefit, for all parties, is that the other partner can't simply pick up and split on a whim. Now, in a typical setup, where the woman makes less or no money, this benefits her, because she is in a more vulnerable position. For example, at the moment me and my girlfriend live together, and she doesn't work, she goes to school and keeps the house. This is a win win situation for us, as it frees me from housework and allows to bill more time, and frees her from a menial college job. Things… | /r/MensRights | 10/02/11 02:17 AM |
