| 1 | Comparison is the thief of joy... Now what?I get the impression that one needs to slog through a few dull social sessions before we find a group that we click with. I mean, yeah. I think that's fair and true. That's kinda why I like to think of it as an emotional investment. There's some effort that has to be made that just isn't going to payout. And like when any investment fails, it doesn't feel good. But we take the dips and we keep at it until it pays out. I play a lot of Dark Souls games and I've learned to always look at failure as… | /r/ExRedPill | 03/01/22 07:22 PM |
| 1 | Comparison is the thief of joy... Now what?It's nice to meet a man who is similar to me in many aspects but wiser than me at the same time! If I may, I don't see myself as wise. I just think that I've figured out what works for me. My approach may not work for anyone else and I'm ok with admitting that. I don't got it all figured out yet. I'll keep trying to figure everything out, but I'm a long way off. but have been so comfortable being a grumpy man I relate to this, no so much about being grumpy but about being comfortable. Often I th… | /r/ExRedPill | 03/01/22 05:21 PM |
| 1 | Comparison is the thief of joy... Now what?Picard is a favorite. That's for sure. I'm honestly trying to think of other fictional role models that I have and most come from star trek (TNG is full of great examples). All of the other media that I like were either when I was a teenager and had over reactive character from JRPGs or I only encountered after I was a grown person. I do really like Guts from Berzerk or Gene Starwind. Very willful characters. You seem to have "levelled up" really well socially and I applaud your progress. Haha, … | /r/ExRedPill | 28/12/21 09:42 PM |
| 1 | Do you have friends who make fun of you for never having a relationship or being a virgin?In a healthy relationship, sex is not related to a lack of respect. You are free to guide your own relationships, but I disagree heavily with the idea that more sexual partners equates to a lower moral standard or less respect to a partner. This applies to both women and men. And please don't refer to women as "body counts". I think I know what you were trying to say, but that's referring to sex with women as some sort of accolade. That's not a healthy way to describe a sexual relationship. Ther… | /r/ExRedPill | 28/12/21 09:16 PM |
| 1 | Comparison is the thief of joy... Now what?(I'm not the same person you were talking to) Feminists are on their way to "throwing off the yoke", but the work isn't done yet. If you agree that feminists fight against a cultural pressure to push women into defining their worth by their bodies, why do you not see that some women still are pressured that way? To me, it sort of sounds like you agree that this pressure exists, but don't agree that it affects women. Maybe I have been loitering in reddit forums for too long, but it seems that it … | /r/ExRedPill | 28/12/21 08:14 PM |
| 2 | Comparison is the thief of joy... Now what?I feel like I've been there. I used to consider myself a robot and I'd often think of myself akin to Data or other robots. I even felt like I was pretty good at faking emotions too. I just naturally fell into a place where I didn't allow myself to feel certain things and that pattern really stuck. This was when I was really young and after a while I felt as if I couldn't feel those things anymore. I can't say that I know exactly what you are going through. But I did teach myself to feel emotions… | /r/ExRedPill | 27/12/21 11:55 PM |
| 6 | Comparison is the thief of joy... Now what?I have been in a relationship, and I do enjoy life. I don't enjoy life because my life is arbitrarily good, far from it. I enjoy life because I work at putting my effort into the things that will make me happy. I was born into an abusive house. At it's worst, my dad used to try to make my mom kill herself by screaming at her and shoving weapons into her hands. She'd be there, crying and he'd be yelling, egging her on to just do it. My oldest brother died to gang violence when I was 5. My second … | /r/ExRedPill | 27/12/21 10:13 PM |
| 1 | Is going to the gym for women really a waste of time?Explained out, if you are just working out so that you'll look more attractive as a partner, that's not a healthy mindset and you might just be setting yourself up for failure down the road if you don't really want to stay in shape for you. If you find a partner and you gain all of the weight back, I'm not going to say that they won't want to still be your partner, but it will likely put a strain on your relationship. We all should want to be healthy, including our physical bodies. But I say tha… | /r/ExRedPill | 27/12/21 08:58 PM |
| 3 | Comparison is the thief of joy... Now what?There's always going to be people that we feel are the pinnacle of human specimens. But that's doesn't change the way mustard tastes. I live on a planet with over 7 billion people on it. I'm never going to be able to be considered the cream of the crop. But I'm still awesome anyway. I think the honest truth is that if I spend my whole day looking at pictures of men that I can't be, that's not going to help my emotional state. Nor is it going to help me find a partner. It's no different than doom… | /r/ExRedPill | 27/12/21 08:39 PM |
| 5 | There’s a conflict I would like to get your views on. Mark mansons models vs rational male Rollo TomassiTo be very blunt, I think Rollo is a disingenuous writer. Over simplifying complex social interactions and over generalizes women and their wants/needs/intentions. Rollo takes a concept like, "Just be yourself" and applies it as an end all be all rule for relationships. That's dumb. People and relationships are more complex than having one single rule. Rollo tries to create a false narrative to suggest that you cannot ever be yourself and become an attractive partner. That's just not true. Often… | /r/ExRedPill | 27/12/21 07:50 PM |
| 1 | Is romantic love shallow?At the end of the day, attraction and lust (that will eventually lead to sex) Is the initial starter of the romantic relationship. Only for some. I feel like that's your perspective and you think everybody works that way. Haven't you ever heard someone say, "I thought they were hot until they opened their mouth."? When a marriage is sexless or lacks attraction it's NO LONGER romantic, it's straight up platonic. Romantic means love. It doesn't mean sex. You can love a platonic friend, but that's … | /r/ExRedPill | 20/12/21 11:49 PM |
| 1 | Is romantic love shallow?... People can have long-term non-sexual romantic relationships without sex or physical attraction. The comments above don't talk about attraction and you've added that part in. I think it's more obvious if we specify that we can have other kinds of romantic attraction other than physical. Quite a few long-term relationships grow into sexless marriages but still love each other deeply. It sounds like you need a physical component to love a partner. But that really isn't true at all for a lot of … | /r/ExRedPill | 20/12/21 07:57 PM |
| 1 | How do I escape the red pill thoughts? I feel like they have poisoned my brain.Hey friend, it's a slow path. When we get into this mindset it can take a while to get out. These ideas and thoughts become a pattern that isn't enjoyable, but it's our routine and sometimes that feels "comfortable". Think of it like this, if you play soccer for any great duration. Portions of your brain will adapt and there's a muscle-memory that kicks in when we have to kick a ball. Even if we aren't playing soccer, if I'm near one, my body will want to dribble it for a bit. We are often stuck… | /r/ExRedPill | 11/05/21 11:03 PM |
| 3 | I hate lifeWhat's the context for sending them money? Side note: it's perfectly appropriate to completely deny to lend anyone money. I've been burned by some friends and as a rule, I don't do it anymore. It creates an unhealthy relationship dynamic. Either it was for a woman and I would feel insecure about our relationship just revolving around me lending money(whether or not that's actually true, I still had those insecure thoughts). Or I would have unresolved issues if a friend bought things before payin… | /r/ExRedPill | 11/05/21 10:54 PM |
| 1 | Why is all of the redpill experts are manlets ?Manlet is a meme-term used to describe short insecure men for the purpose of generalizing that group. (and thus short-cutting any nuance to a topic) These terms are key to redpilling and we shouldn't use them. Generalizing like this isn't going to create a discussion that's meaningful in any way. Ever wonder why there's so many generalizing meme-terms in those redpill groups? Because that's the point, you can't humanize and honestly discuss to a group if you give them names like manlet and redpi… | /r/ExRedPill | 11/05/21 10:29 PM |
| 3 | How do Ex-Red Pillers explain rates of marriage declining and divorces increasing?I think the increased rates of divorce are more likely related to the ability of women to support themselves without a spouse. Too many women were pressured to stay in unhappy/unhealthy relationships because they could not afford to live on their own or they would feel pressured to stay because of a cultural norm ("you should stay with him for the kids"). If hypergamy was a real and constant thing, we wouldn't see the increasing trend of stay-at-home dads and bread-winning wifes. | /r/ExRedPill | 11/05/21 10:15 PM |
| 1 | How do I start to eliminate most of the preconceived notions I’ve gained?Empathy training or exposure are the big ones (with an intention to listen and learn). A lot of our preconceived notions arrive because we cannot relate or do not understand a view other than our own. | /r/ExRedPill | 11/05/21 10:10 PM |
| 1 | RedPill stole my years of loveBecause sex and relationships are a great motivators. They are, but they aren't the only motivators. And frankly, if they are your only motivators then there are likely other issues here as well. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having relationship goals as your main focus. But it's really healthy to have other goals as well that aren't related to finding a partner. | /r/ExRedPill | 11/05/21 10:07 PM |
| 2 | Is romantic love shallow?The "deep, dark places in my mind" might just be observing nature in a honest way. Or it might be a skewed look based on your views of people. People do not self sort based on some eugenics point scale. If they were, we would not see people who are unable to have children in relationships. | /r/ExRedPill | 11/05/21 10:03 PM |
| 1 | Is romantic love shallow?but if the door is being closed (loss of sexual status) the love for what's behind it is discarded no matter how deep, because it is a sexual relationship. Wut?? People have long lasting romantic but non-sexual relationships. You've got a toxic understanding of how people form and keep healthy relationships. | /r/ExRedPill | 11/05/21 10:02 PM |
| 1 | Walking Behind Womensince she is the one that is prejudiced. It's important to note that it's not prejudice driving a defensive reaction. Women who are in vulnerable positions and react this way, aren't reacting this way to men personally. I think we likely agree that if the same women was in the same scenario at a crowded theme park she wouldn't have the same reaction. But wouldn't it make more sense for her to cross What are you addressing here? This thread in particular is discussing the awkwardness in accidenta… | /r/MensRights | 27/06/19 08:39 PM |
| 1 | 29 year old man is deemed an "asshole" for not previously disclosing a vasectomy to a woman who cheated on him and got pregnantIt is his inherent right to decide what to disclose about himself, when, and to whom. Absolutely. Each person has a right to be an asshole if they choose to. | /r/MensRights | 27/06/19 03:10 PM |
| 1 | Walking Behind WomenI could bring up lynchings on the south, but many white men have been killed after being accused of rape as well. I'm just going to be real honest with you. You are not in any danger of being lynched. I have no doubt that the idea that you are in danger or a victim is important to you. Your idea of being persecuted is driving you to irrational fears of being lynched. And this fear, drives your view that it's women's fault for your fear of being lynched. But this isn't real. And you'll never be l… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/19 11:16 PM |
| 1 | Walking Behind WomenThen just don't take it personally I disagree, her fear could be a threat to to your personal safety, if not your life. oh gosh.... ok sure. anything could be a threat to your personal safety. That still doesn't address the underlying insecurity about being perceived as a threat. And if you are honestly worried about being attacked by a women. Then I'm not going to judge you for being defensive. I am going to tell you that those feelings are based on your perception. And your perceived danger. D… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/19 10:06 PM |
| 1 | Walking Behind WomenYou offer no solution, you just restated the problem. For anyone who finds themselves in this position. The solution is simple. Keep on walking and if you notice the person ahead of you seems defensive. Then just don't take it personally because their vulnerability is due to the situation that they find themselves. Or, like i said before, "address the insecurity of being a perceived threat." Who's shaming or not shaming whom? We shame women for being defensive when they feel vulnerable. The comm… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/19 09:24 PM |

I'm assuming that makes you a WA state native. I'm in the seattle area myself. I see People complaining about males all the time like Manspreading and Mansplaining and I try to talk to females and they all agree. This is a common things to experience. It sucks, and we all go through it. The important thing to remember, is that all of us… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/19 08:53 PM |
| -1 | Walking Behind WomenThe reasonable thing to do is to address the insecurity of appearing as a threat, So you have to make contact, thereby increasing any apparent threat. No. The insecurity is in the person following. Insecurity at appearing as a threat. You can address that insecurity in a lot of different ways. One is the reason that your appearance as a perceived threat is not related to you as a person, but the situation and the vulnerability of the person you are perceived to be following. not shaming people f… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/19 08:41 PM |
| 3 | Walking Behind WomenWalking in the same direction <is not equal to> following. No, of course it's not. That's obvious. But from the perspective of the leading walker, it might be following because you can't easily judge a person's motives that is not in your line of sight. The reasonable thing to do is to address the insecurity of appearing as a threat, not shaming people for being defensive. | /r/MensRights | 26/06/19 06:53 PM |
| -8 | Recent Oxford Union Debate resolution: We Should Reject Traditional Masculinity.I think I can do some good here by explaining some of these quotes in a further context. “Traditional masculinity is harmful to men." Yeah. Basically. This is the idea that traditionally masculinity is set. Boys wear blue and hide their emotions. That crap is harmful to boys. The person in the video makes the distinction that "traditional masculinity" is harmful. Not masculinity. “Rejecting masculinity is necessary because it hurts those who don’t comply with its norms. Which, I’m sorry to break… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/19 06:07 PM |
| 6 | Walking Behind WomenThe person characterized is displaying his insecurity on being unable to address the inherent awkwardness of following a woman who might perceive them as a threat. We are aware of that many women are suspicious of men following them. Many woman have been assaulted and whether or not they are in actual danger, this is a defense mechanism to a potential threat. Better to be suspicious than assaulted. This is the equivalent of balling your fist when a drunk person aimlessly shouts at your direction… | /r/MensRights | 26/06/19 05:50 PM |
| 1 | 29 year old man is deemed an "asshole" for not previously disclosing a vasectomy to a woman who cheated on him and got pregnantIt is my body to do with as I please. Of course it is. No one is questioning that. You are implying that your ex and the counselor were upset that you have exercised autonomy over your own body. That's just silly. | /r/MensRights | 25/06/19 11:59 PM |

| 0 | Positive DiscriminationWhat happened to companies being blind to sex, race and religion and promoting people based on hard work and qualifications? Well, to be honest. Being blind to those things didn't help those people they tried to help. If a company wants to help correct an issue where they feel women are hispanic people aren't given the same opportunities. Then they'll have to help exactly those groups. I get it that you likely don't agree. But to give a non-racial example. The company saying they want to help bl… | /r/MensRights | 25/06/19 10:32 PM |

Not having a "custom" of disclosure, doesn't mean OP isn't an ass for lying. No, he said he only lied directly once to one of his exes, he did not specify which. But you don't seem to have a single objection to her lies and attempted grand theft. Not one. Man lies about his vasectomy.

| -2 | 29 year old man is deemed an "asshole" for not previously disclosing a vasectomy to a woman who cheated on him and got pregnantBut that’s your WIFE. What does the marriage license have to do with a mutual respect? OP stated that he outright lied about being able to have kids. That's exactly the point of contention. abortions are a women’s choice and a man has no say, but apparently it’s not the same for a vasectomy? You are reacting as though women are trying to prevent him from getting a vasectomy. But we both actually understand that the operation was not the issue. | /r/MensRights | 25/06/19 10:01 PM |
| 2 | 29 year old man is deemed an "asshole" for not previously disclosing a vasectomy to a woman who cheated on him and got pregnantand currently there are no disclosure requirements in law or custom for men or women. We aren't in a courtroom. If I ask my spouse if she wants to have kids some day and she doesn't mention that she has her tubes tied. That would be messed up. an outright lie the one time it came up in a conversation. The same is true for OP and he said he outright lied about it. | /r/MensRights | 25/06/19 09:56 PM |
| 2 | 29 year old man is deemed an "asshole" for not previously disclosing a vasectomy to a woman who cheated on him and got pregnantbut apparently it’s not the same for a vasectomy I don't think that was the point of contention, right? If I came home one day with a tattoo that covered my entire face. My wife would be pissed. Not because she doesn't want me to also have freedom over my body. But because that's a life altering decision and I didn't tell her about it. | /r/MensRights | 25/06/19 09:51 PM |
| 3 | 29 year old man is deemed an "asshole" for not previously disclosing a vasectomy to a woman who cheated on him and got pregnant"My body, my choice.." There's nothing wrong with deciding your own path in life. But I don't think that was likely the point of contention. I know that I'd be pissed if my wife had her tubes tied without talking about it with me. She knows that I want another kid. We have one together already. And I thought she wanted one too. But if she came home one day, "yup, tube all tied!". I'd be irrationally angry. As you said, "my body, my choice.." and all that and it's completely right.

He also stated that the cure for "Toxic Masculinity" was fatherhood Sort of. Men are not emotionless. But that each man expresses and deals with our emotions differently. Subtle differences, but the idea is that not all men experience emotions the same. So to treat all men with the same emotional intolerance is harmful.

| 1 | This is why men don't show emotionsIf we are upset that our culture pressures men to bury their feelings, and you feel that people make of us for showing emotions. Would the answer be to discount people who we think discourage us and learn to express our feelings in healthy way? That seems like so much of a better response. | /r/MensRights | 25/06/19 09:12 PM |
