Wow, so he lost more than 7k. That's pretty out there. Hopefully he figures out that this isn't going to end well, I can't say I blame you for bailing before that happens.

I don't have any advice from the male perspective on how to bring the issue up, but I believe that you must do so. In my view, trading cryptocurrency options is literally gambling; which is a very destructive habit. It's also possible that he has become involved in a scam masquerading as trading and no gains will ever materialize.

Sounds like you suck in bed, probably because you're a daydreaming emotional mess. Divorce, for you, is an excuse to continue focusing on the woman, rather than developing the next part of your mission. Focus on bringing new understanding to your readings, new insights frequently arise from experience. Let her get comfortable with her decision to actually have children, chill out on the porn a little bit, and see if you don't feel better about your situation in a month or two.

I think it was longer than 3 dates with my similarly inexperienced now wife. He seems to be taking the lead just fine, so I would say chill out and let things progress naturally.

Does your husband even lift? Because I really question his ability to interpret redpill material given that, like anyone else, his behavior reflects the foremost edge of his learning. And the behavior is very stupid. I am assuming the child is pretty young? And, more importantly, what type of dude was your husband before he "got into the RP community?" Assuming an explaination outside malice for the manner in which he has chosen to interact with you, getting your husband back to tolerable ought …

Body by PCOS. Means no weight loss is happening, and probably no kids either.

It's been a while since I read the StrongLifts manual, and it wouldn't apply to me then or now so I am unsurprised at my lack of memory. Bad advice in the book, then. Certainly your recovery will be less at 40+, but the fundamental logic of "hit the muscles often enough" doesn't change as one ages. Definitely take a look, either will allow you more room for adjustment to make sure your recovery works right. Let me know how it goes!

Yes, squats every day was what I believe led to injuries. The frustrating thing was that deloads were large, and resulted in weeks of workouts which weren't as hard as they could be. This pushed bad decision making, which probably wasn't healthy for my shoulders. Your modifications to the routine make a ton of sense to me, and should probably be the default. Glad I could give you some new ideas!

Foremost, progress of course means lifting more weight on top sets/sets in general. But more reps at a given weight, cleaner execution of a set, or shorter rest times are also means of tracking progress and should predict lifting more weight. I'll take in rest time as part of working time, because it's too hard to parse out "time that I am literally moving weight." That's assuming reasonable rest times rather than fiddle-fucking your phone for 5 minutes in the middle of a workout. That said, I r…

Insanity. Beyond the "because it is written thusly" that StrongLifts is to be executed 3x/week, working out twice a week is literally not enough to progress. In reality, anyone needs 3+x/week spanning at least 2.5 hours of actual working time to make progress.

It's not really about "delivering with authority" or that she is literally being punished when you spank her. The thing that gets her gears turning is the implication that you could handle her in a less mutually enjoyable manner. Beyond generally improving the dynamic in your relationship, do this: Talk about thrashing her when she displeases you in non-sexual contexts. Sometimes, follow through. Experiment in the bedroom. Find something safe in which you have the upper hand that she doesn't lik…

As someone who likes to think of themselves as pretty smart and grew up surrounded by other smart, competitive children, this was our feeling about the game even before the publication of the first statistical scheme for winning, in that it was clear to us that not only was the game run by luck, it was almost deterministic once you knew the strategy. Examining the depression-era origins of the game, this may well have been the entire point...

Not OP, but my interpretation is this: Men may be silly or weak when with themselves or their loved ones when all is calm. But when they stand with their fellow men, every one hopes to be brave in his comrade's eyes. Women, in contrast, must always worry. She must be brave indeed to face all the dangers life may throw at her and her children, and braver still to contemplate being a grandmother and watching grandchildren dying.

A dead bedroom situation in an open marriage is quite a serious problem, in fact to my understanding more indicative of issues with the relationship than in a closed relationship. Given how recently you swallowed the pill, I wonder if you haven't been enacting the anger phase in your arguments with your wife. She's had a long time to get used to your blue pill behavior patterns, so your unexpected lack of response to her usual methods of manipulation are worrisome to her. Thus some of the argume…

I can definitely relate to the question as a fellow ex-homeschooler in IT. Being a bit older than OP, programming wasn't quite yet 'cool' in the way it has now become when I was in university. However as I moved into the real world and gained responsibilities, I found that selling programming as a creative profession that does important shit became notably easier. Improved physical fitness certainly helped. Business networking and continued partying expanded on the social skills honed by my time…

But nor are those who read the writing on the wall required to be the ones who placed it there. Or in other words, the corollary of the above is the implication that you cannot predict how much directed behavior has been contributed to a system without knowledge of it's internals. Moreover, since we know that complex behavior can arise from small directed inputs (think traffic patterns and similarly gasously or fractally complex systems, a phenomona Wolfram expands on much better than I), undere…

All fits together, no doubt about it. Why The Population Bomb went so thoroughly ignored for such an extended duration has been circling through my mind for some weeks, and the circumstances you cite are the dovetail corollary according to such a plan. My question to you is this: What do we do? The circumstances carry their own inevitability now as never before, and it's by no means certain that the elites will succeed in retaining their treasured shreds of modern civilization through such a col…

Because what's competing as the 'elites' isn't really people anymore, it's corporate entities, who express the wishes of their human masters in aggregate. Thus the failure to repopulate and other relics which seem odd to those expecting a hereditary elite rather than an economic class ordered by guild with hereditary side effects. As for promoting the stupid and useless, do not forget how thoroughly society must shred itself to drastically reduce its numbers. We need the dregs of society in this…

If I believed in giving Reddit money I'd gild you for this comment. This is literally the only possible plan, and I've had enough discussions of all the above factors to feel confident in the scenario described above. The intelligent people I know all think we're likely fucked and events will proceed this way, only the puppetry is unclear at this point for those with eyes.

If she's been drawing validation implicitly from street harassment all these years, I doubt that she's often taken the hostile reaction which female friends of mine who genuinely dislike being harassed employ in safe circumstances. I'm not familiar with a definition of rape culture which omits street harassment, nor do I feel it ought to be excluded. Thus Valenti likely hasn't personally done her utmost to stop rape culture and by the absolutist logic inferred to feminists by RP must support it.…

And if he's not completely out of shape and boning other chicks from time to time, I'll bet it's not a DB either, since she'll bang the shit out of him for mate retention purposes. If he can cope with the jealousy it would be a sweet situation, but since he's a clearly beta as fuck and thus has no frame I'll bet he's just sublimating all of it. This is proven by the fact that he took any convincing rather than saying "OK hon, I'll be going out and chasing tail Friday". And yes, in a divorce it w…

I think the trading up view may be a little simplistic. Extra-pair mating isn't confined to the fertile portion of the cycle. Although I'm not aware of any research supporting this, I'd suspect that a woman with the opportunity and a fairly masculine partner might cheat with a less masculine partner during a non-fertile part of her cycle due to her increased attraction to beta physical characteristics and innate ability to bang for resources (rather than parenthood, recall that chimps do both) a…

Just don't ask questions like that. It's the most insecure thing ever. Moreover, your insecurities continue to bleed through in your interpretation of her answer. Not only does she put you in her top tier (recalling that she's not yours, it's just your turn), she didn't even say 'men'. Saying 'people' means she probably included her girlfriends in the tally, an attachment frequently much more intense than any romantic relationship. Quit whining to us and your girl and work on OI and maintaining …

Thanks for the insight! So you're (correctly, IMO) saying that Betas will remain so after swallowing the pill?

So in other words, you'd agree with the "male led relationship" model which TRP espouses?
/r/PurplePillDebate13/07/15 07:05 PM

Actually, yes. Beta males (as opposed to betaized, i.e. most American men) are much happier when Alpha or, less preferably, Sigma leaders are present. The lack of appropriate male leadership is part of how Beta's end up being controlled by domineering women. I'd be curious to hear /u/GayLubeOil 's thoughts on this as well, I tend to think these factors haven't seen enough attention from TRP.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/07/15 07:00 PM

Actually, her reference to "needy alpha" is a Blackdragonism. In the CH ranking scheme for males, this is closest to a 'greater beta' as far as I can tell. Great comment though, thanks for elucidating the provisioning aspects of 'pregnancy brain'.

Let's be realistic, Chad can't perform around beta males any more than this dude's wife. In seriousness, yes I also would have politely kicked him out, i.e. "that's too bad bro, let's grab a drink and forget that your dick wouldn't work".

i'm normally not a huge fan of consequences first solutions, but your wife sounds like she's being an aging ditch and you need to work on yourself in order to not completely bollocks up the conversation which needs to happen. Before working on dread, consider whether you're actually passing her tests currently. The validation-seeking edge you display makes it very likely you're still giving her feedback that her tests are getting under your skin even when you seem verbally to have won. Definitel…

Post to /r/neckbeardstories, please? There are few observations of neckbeards obtaining sex, and I feel this could help explain how men in their late thirties can hold the fedora in their hearts.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/06/15 06:15 PM

It certainly is an underestimated factor, at least in my observation. Particularly in younger women, who tend to have high sex drives but often lack the sociosexual skills needed to acquire any partner, let alone a short term one. To them, being horny and finding a reasonably attractive boy who is game at the same time counts as getting lucky, at least if the stories I've heard are true.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/06/15 05:49 PM

Contrary to most posters, I don't think her opening up to you is such a bad sign. It doesn't sound like she has any less reason to be open with you than when you were orbiting her, and women know the power of vulnerability almost instinctively. Thus given that the two of you have been separated for a while, she could equally be using the emotional disclosures to raise the emotional state of the interaction alongside your escalation. So I'd go with the escalate quickly approach. In general women …

I can see how it comes off that way out of context. But truthfully the show largely avoids this temptation, and having her behave any other way would undermine the source material. Nor is the notion ahistoric, which combine to make the shows interpretation a reasonable one in my opinion.

The heavily cited Sexual Strategy Theory by Buss and Schmitt clearly identifies that women invest more effort into long-term mating strategies. The characteristics they identify in women's pursuit of short term mating opportunities mark it as a distinct strategy, ergo a secondary one as less time is invested. While my confidence in ascribing motivations to TRP is limited, the same paper provides a discussion of men's long-term sexual strategy, which the authors argue is skewed towards preventing…

An assortative selection criteria for mates is orthogonal to a 'dads vs. cads' partner choice. The personality and physiological traits defining each category of male are broad enough that given a sufficiently varied partner selection a female may select a mate who is extremely similar to her while still falling into her desired category. Moreover, a female who pursues a fully dualistic strategy while ensuring that her primary and short-term partners are otherwise similar reduces her risk of det…

While whether the parameters of the dualistic mating strategy match the AFBB model posited by TRP is somewhat disputed, the overall premise is well accepted in the literature. Thus the fact that this is even debated is much more a result of ignorance of modern evo-psych than any fundamental problem with the idea.

Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but content almost never matters. By the time you can judge interest by the her words alone (as opposed to tone, manner of speaking, and the dynamic of the conversation), if she's interested you'll have seen many physical IOI's. Every situation is different, but I'd be inclined to say it's very likely you'll never hear words indicating interest unless you've responded positively to several non-verbal indicators. That being said, my inner pedant compels me to p…

The thing that jumped out at me early on was this: she was not fully over her ex in her head but that he had no place in her heart I think this actually bodes well for you, since it sounds almost identical to the classic line I still love you but I'm not 'in love' with you. As you'd know if you'd read more on LTR theory, the use of this phrase invariably precedes a branch swing due to terminal loss of tingles. In other words, she's pretty damn sure that she has upgraded because you remind her of…

You reacted perfectly. The correct response given that your sex life is generally in order is to demonstrate OI and get it on later.

I feel you on that, as an ectomorph it's quite difficult for me to put on bulk. On the bright side, with low body fat any gains you make will show quickly. In the same vein as above, I'd check out /r/bodyweightfitness, while you're not going to build mad bulk this way it will take advantage of your presumably better endurance to build a base for a program like 5x5 or StrongLifts. Remember, carbs are not your friend, chicken and mayo are next to god.

I'm going to guess that you're fat and go counter to the standard TRP mantra by recommending doing cardio until you're not fat anymore. This way you'll only need to eat healthily rather than eating for gains, which is a simpler proposition. And even if you're not fat, you can develop your stabilizer muscles this way, which will help your lifting immensely. As for the virginity, I recommend you focus more strongly on having a strong OI mindset. I know it's really, really hard when you're in the p…

At some point you'll need to sack up and make it clear to her that you'll be fucking other women, and she can come along for the ride if she wants. The relationship is actually the only leverage you have to make this happen, as other posters have pointed out the downgrade more or less doesn't work so this is something of an all-or-nothing proposition.
/r/askTRP17/05/15 02:55 PM

I can't readily find it, but Blackdragon has an excellent post on why actually fucking other women is required to maintain a non-monogamous frame (i.e., one in which you spin plates). Have fun with your excessive hotness+NRE induced exclusivity for the moment, but realize that you'll need to fix this sooner rather than later unless you want to wake up in a monogamous LTR with this girl.

I think the biggest factor here is their (actual, not 'hot monogamy' style feathers and stuff) level of sexual openness and ability to handle the inevitable jealous reactions. Based on what you've said in this thread, I don't believe you have such an understanding, which would make me reluctant. Best strategy here is to sit down with your buddy and have a really, really honest conversation about the topic. If the two of you can't do that, the odds that either of you will handle both of you getti…

I think your inclination is solid, it's really a win/win proposition if she's leaving town anyway. I'd also comment that the two of you being (reasonably, not to give OP or the girl too much credit) honest about your other entanglements is pretty positive towards keeping her around. It sounds like both of you have caught feelings at this point, and as the wall of text above indicates, having that type of honesty isn't always easy in that case. That being said, the two of you really need to talk …

It can be, yes. Reserved or not, she most likely knows her SMV in an LTR context. Since your description implies that it's quite high, all this means is that she doesn't see other women as much of a threat due to her superiority. Thus she can increase her ability to (if she desires) lock you down by keeping you happy, where happy in this context means seeing other women on the side. Don't overthink it and spend your energy wisely, and this can only work in your favor.
