now see redpill as cope and people who dont understand the true nature of women which is purely about looks, It's not; if you think it is you've been reading the sidebar backwards. It's about having some confidence, self-respect and holding yourself to high standards. Things like "get down the gym, sort out your diet, hygiene and attitude" are all part of doing that. Yes, you will become more physically attractive if you do that, but that's merely a side-effect and isn't the whole story. The pro…

Some might say this is still choreplay. You're still washing dishes and doing the yard, does it matter why? And the answer to that is "of course it bloody does". If you're doing it because she's hassling you about it - or because you think it'll get you laid - you're sending a message to your wife that says "You've got another child you need to badger every minute of the day". If you're doing it for yourself - because you want to live in a clean and tidy house, because you want to look out into …

There's another, more practical view: Allowing people to weaponise the criminal justice system - regardless of what crime they use to do so - is incredibly dangerous. It wastes time, it ruins innocent lives and it clogs up the system while genuine victims go unheard. It absolutely must be punished to the full extent of the law, because it's a serious crime.

It's not unusual to find strong women seeking out weak men, because they think a husband who's easy to walk over will be easy to be married to. And she's probably right for a few years. Then life gets harder. Perhaps it's finances, perhaps it's kids, perhaps it's health-related... whatever. The reason is neither here nor there. Naturally, when the shit hits the fan she wants practical support from her husband. He has to step up to the plate. And he can't. Because he doesn't have the self-discipl…

We'd like to believe that few people - even murderers - are beyond redemption. On the whole, that isn't far from the truth. I'm pretty sure the re-offending rate for people getting out after a life sentence is pretty low.

That's not how life imprisonment works in the UK. In the UK, "life imprisonment" means "You're going to prison for a very long time, and if we ever let you out we're going to keep a damn close eye on you. Step out of line once you're out, and you'll be back in so fast you won't know what's hit you". The "17 years" bit is a minimum term set by the judge. She might be out in 17 years and a day; she might never get out.

Get yourself proper legal advice. Immediately, not in a couple of week's time. I mean that. Step away from Reddit, find the details of a few local divorce lawyers and get on the phone to them. If you're still reading this - which you shouldn't be! - how marital assets and childcare are divided in a divorce varies massively from one country to another. You really need to speak to a local lawyer who knows all these things and can explain it to you clearly rather than taking advice from random stra…

I’ll try not to Rambo but it’s very enticing It is, but you have to understand it comes from the wrong place. When we say "don't take shit and have some self respect", we don't mean "fly off the handle as soon as she says or does anything slightly wrong", nor do we mean "order her about and get arsey when she doesn't follow orders".

A very transactional view, almost like the world is a vending machine, and you just have to insert (behaviour) to get (result) To be fair, this probably worked okay for much of your life. The problem is it doesn't work so well with human relationships, and even less so in LTRs.

It was 65 for men in those days, but apart from that you're spot on. The law was changed 25 years ago but was written so the actual change in retirement age didn't happen immediately - it'd be phased in over a long period of time. The government pension in the UK is partly based on the amount you put in over your working life, which is one of the reasons why they gave plenty of notice. It's only started to affect people in the last 5 or 6 years, so they had something like 20 years' notice. The s…

It's actually worse than you think. The UK has had a government-provided old age pension scheme for over a hundred years. It was originally meant to be subsistence living set up in a time when people typically died very shortly after they might have retired anyway. It used to be the case that women could claim their pension at the age of 60 and men at 65 - this was because men often marry someone slightly younger, and was intended to allow both partners to retire at roughly the same time. This w…

That’s just a rule of thumb. The reality is that women will invent reasons why particular encounters “don’t count” and deduct them from the total. Didn’t orgasm? Doesn’t count. Regretted it the morning after? Doesn’t count. Was looking for more than he was? Doesn’t count. Wasn’t looking for as much as he was? Doesn’t count. Sucked off, pulled off but didn’t have vaginal sex? Doesn’t count.

It isn't my father I need to forgive; it's my grandfather. He was the one who wasn't present when my dad was growing up; he was the one who let my dad grow up without a strong male role model; he was the one who realised far too late this his son was only a man because there wasn't a word for a grown man behaving like a young boy. But he was earning a good living. It probably never even occurred to him he could be doing damage.

Everyone - men, women, aliens from the planet Zog - has their own mental picture of the world. Every interaction we have with the world, every action we take, every word we say, every thought we have is coloured by this mental picture. Having to completely redraw that mental picture is difficult, and a lot of people can't handle it.

Are you for real? Women - well, girls, more accurately, at the age I'm talking about - have men hitting on them more-or-less constantly from early in their teens. A girl figures out early on that she can pretty well pick and choose when she wants to lose her virginity. If she's got to the age of 28 and has not yet chosen to do so... to me, that's barely believable. She's either got a list of problems a mile long or she's lying through her teeth. Even if she comes from a culture where sex before …

I think you need to get out of the "defending myself" mindset. You're hearing "why do you not have a girlfriend", and you're putting implicit assumptions in that question, such as: Any real man would want a girlfriend. Any real man would have a girlfriend (or if he's single, only be so for a very brief period). You do not have a girlfriend; you are therefore not a real man. If you accept those assumptions, there aren't very many good answers to that lot. There are none if you've been single for …

Have you read and understood any RP books at all? All human relationships involve a balance of power, and the balance is usually tilted slightly in favour of one person. And in a sexual relationship, you absolutely must ensure that the balance is tilted in your favour. That's what all this "stop giving a fuck" advice is all about - you have to internalise that if you split up tomorrow, you'd be banging someone else the day after. Women find it a massive turn on to be with someone who could easil…

The weirdest part is I think she knows she did it, but she can choose not to believe it to feel better. She doesn't. The thought process goes something like this: Something bad has happened. Good girls do not do that "something". I am a good girl. Therefore, it had nothing to do with me. She mentally re-wrote history the minute she realised you weren't into it. How should I deal with this? Give her a reality check and remind her what really happened? Complete waste of time. She has been pulling …

This, exactly. I'm extremely worried about this blurring of the lines of what constitutes rape. Nobody's disputing the man who drags a woman into a dark alley at knifepoint needs locking up. But what about the man who goes out with a friend and they both have a couple too many to drink? The man who misjudges how drunk his date was? The man who's hinting at a step up the career ladder, but doesn't deliver? The man who's offering fame and fortune, does deliver, but in hindsight probably wasn't nec…

My dad died over 20 years ago; I was 19. Red Pill wasn't a thing then, of course. Shame, really, because in retrospect I now recognise how much he epitomised the beta stereotype - possibly more than most on here could ever imagine. He was the baby of the family; when he was growing up, his dad (my grandfather) spent a lot of time away from the family home and my own dad was therefore mostly brought up by his mum. I don't think he had a strong male role model. My dad would have been around 17-18 …

I'll tell you what is beta - giving a fuck what other people think about what you want. But forget about that for now. Right now you need to concentrate on becoming the best possible version of yourself, and that means reading everything in the sidebar as many times as you need to for it to sink in. If that means reading it five times, so be it. Be warned it is very common for newbs to misunderstand - and hence fuck up - in their first few months. This is a marathon, not a sprint, and it could e…

There is another possibility. It's possible your wife has aspergers. It's often under-diagnosed in women - for years, it was thought that women just didn't have aspergers. In other words, dread doesn't affect her not because she's asexual, but because she doesn't have any strong emotional connection to anyone or anything. Not to you, not to her parents, not to your pets. Nothing.

This comes to something I think women understand more than men - doing something not for someone else, but for yourself. You are not lifting to get laid more often. That's a covert contract with the universe. You are lifting to improve your physique. You are not working on your career to get your wife wet. That's another covert contract. You are working on your career because you don't want to be a bus driver all your life. You are not buying nice clothes to pick up women. Again, covert contract…

Because the world is not black and white. It is very easy to read and learn about things (like RP ideas) and mentally digest them by categorising them the same way we do everything else in life. Techie people in particular are quite prone to this - we think in terms of black and white, true or false, yes or no - and so therefore everything we learn gets processed in that way. Problem: our mechanism for digesting things works brilliantly for things that naturally work in that fashion (such as mat…

I think you've inadvertently touched on the reasons why millennials are (apparently) having less sex. 20 years ago (and yes, I'm old enough to remember), false rape accusations weren't really a thing. Oh, sure, sometimes you'd have sex and one or both of you would think "that wasn't such a great idea". But that didn't mean one of you started posting to Instagram that you'd just been raped, nor did it mean you reported it to the police. It just meant you thought a bit more carefully about it in f…

Rather than seeking out and punishing bad behaviour, you should be seeking out and rewarding good; ignore bad behaviour. Why? Well, I don't know about you, but in every relationship I've ever had, if you look hard enough you can find something bad in everything. Training yourself to seek out and punish the bad is going to make you a miserable bastard.

Both. I assume there are no kids involved at this stage? You get married, you're both going to be miserable and it'll be ten times harder to unravel everything. What's happening is this: You are not the man you think you are; your fiancé sees this even if you don't. Realistically, it is going to take you a minimum of 1-2 years to un-fuck yourself - possibly longer - and that assumes you dive right into all the reading and work you need to do this afternoon.

It's about context. Some discussions invariably have an emotional element - buying a new car, for instance. Buying a brand new luxury car is never going to be a particularly practical thing, and yet Mercedes, BMW and Jaguar are all still in business. DEER is strategy built around arguments that are entirely driven by rationality. It doesn't work so well in a discussion with both emotional and rational elements because few people want to admit their position is driven by emotion. So when they are…

Fuck. Me. Sideways. I'm going to lose so much karma on saying this, but it needs saying: You are lifting more than me in every way, shape and form. You're working twice the hours I am. And you're doing all this while fighting a serious illness. Does that sound like the action of a weak man? Because to me it sounds like the action of a strong man, both mentally and physically.

Suggestion from someone a bit older: Eighteen yers ago, I was fucking the girl who's now my wife pretty well every night. I remember at the time thinking "If we split up tomorrow, I'd be alright. Don't know about her...." This thought bothered me. It didn't strike me as terribly equal. In retrospect, that thought was the reason I was fucking her every night. It shaped our every interaction; why would I care what she thinks if I could replace her inside 48 hours? It was when circumstances changed…

No, no and for the third time no. Any mention of RP - at least using those words - has an absolutely huge risk that the person you talk to might look into it further. Yes, they might see the better bits. The bits that say "make yourself a better man and to hell with what the rest of the world thinks". But they might also see how the gynocentric world paints it - and let's face it, that ain't good. If you're going to introduce those ideas at all, do so subtly and by example rather than by overtly…

Agree with /u/SBill: it sounds like you haven't really understood RP properly. You've covered the physical aspects, but have you covered the mental aspects? It's all well and good having positive interactions with women that you think could go further, but does your wife know you're capable of this? If you're just going home and staring at the walls with her, how could she possibly know?

A lot depends on context. You're still in school? That's exactly what would happen. Keep your head down; you're not there forever. You're in university? Difficult. It's possible to get her out of your hair - I've heard of it being done - but it relies on a lot of stars to be in alignment: She mustn't be in a position of any seniority.

This!

The word "manipulation" has unfortunate connotations, and much of that comes from it being used as a sort-of intellectual argument-killing shortcut. One small problem: 40% of human communication could technically be seen as "manipulation", simply because the word is routinely defined as "trying to persuade someone to do something they didn't necessarily want to do" Ever chatted a girl up?

The covert contract is a huge dichotomy in RP ideas. We teach "unfuck yourself and she will follow", while in the same breath teaching "don't go around expecting specific behaviour then getting upset when you don't get it". There is a way to resolve it: you radically change your mindset. Put any thought of what she is doing out of your mind. Think only of un-fucking yourself. She is free to join you in this un-fucking exercise; she is free not to. And it is vital you internalise this.

Well, her family is going to appeal. But the way I see it, even if her appeal is upheld, she will be entering the country on the most watched passport in history.

She is a British citizen, and isn't thought to hold dual nationality. Which means that it's illegal for us to just revoke her citizenship.

Fair point. In any case, I don't think it's useful to label Forrest alpha or beta - I think his intellectual disability makes a lot of discussion of alpha/beta traits irrelevant. He doesn't really have anything like the necessary comprehension of action and consequence, and while he does understand that some things in life aren't particularly fair or good, he's mostly unaware of his impact on the world. As far as Gump is concerned, the biggest thing he did was buying Jenny's childhood home and d…

That's the wonderful thing about RP praxeology if you make the effort to understand it properly (which a lot of people don't).

You're discovering the same thing as I did. A lot of shit tests aren't shit tests. They're a clumsy attempt to bond using sarcasm and banter like men often do. We misinterpret them because when a man does it, his tone is totally different.

You’re absolutely right, and I’ll tell you why.

We know what happens when you do that because society has done it before.

The data leak they had a couple of years ago suggested there wasn't a single woman on the site; the only "women" were bots set up to encourage men to subscribe. Which makes perfect sense from an RP perspective. I don't imagine there's a woman on this earth who needs a site like that.

Speaking as someone in a similar position to yourself: It sounds like what you need is a fresh perspective. What has happened is in the past; you cannot control that. Nor can you control how your wife responds to that. Focus on the things you can control. You can control how you respond to this. So try to think about things in these terms.

Perfectly normal. It sounds like you're still in the process of unplugging. We say "lift" for a reason: the process of going to the gym and lifting releases chemicals (no I don't understand it all) that help clear your head. Putting on some muscle and (hopefully) making yourself more attractive so you can get laid more easily in future is an added bonus.

Because the non-misogynistic comment is that the couple decide between them who of them should work based on practicalities rather than an outright "she must/must not work". Of course in the real world it isn't like that, because a woman is far more likely to decide unilaterally that she's not going to work any more and there will be no reasoning or discussion over the matter. Which sort of limits the man's options.

Nice idea, and one I've tried myself. One small problem: it cannot possibly work unless your wife is open to RP ideas. We already know that 90+% of the population isn't. In fact, they're so "not open" to RP ideas that they find them downright offensive. That's why "don't talk about RP" is repeated over and over. Why do you think your wife is any different?

I think it's already happening. It's slow - societies don't change overnight - and being as the mirror that the media holds up to society is often biased towards the feminine, it's heavily watered down. But I still think it's happening. As long as you don't mention the words "red pill", most of the core tenets are pretty safe to discuss in open company.

Actually, I suspect this is where reports about teens having less sex comes from. When you've spent your formative years being taught that women must and will gladly and enthusiastically reciprocate any sort of approach otherwise it's rape, where does that leave the slightly-nervous young man who desperately wants to get his end away but isn't sure if the object of his affections is interested? I reckon it leaves him erring on the side of caution. Who wants to get accused of being a rapist?

This tendency of blaming everyone except yourself -- blame society, daddy, Donald Fhlumpthf -- is becoming increasingly prevalent among women and leftists.

There's a hell of a long way between a false rape claim and a man falsely convicted off the back of it. Somewhere in the middle of that lies loss of social status, loss of job, appearing on police record checks, loss of cash paying for a defence you shouldn't have to - to pretend that you can be publicly accused of rape and just walk away from it as if nothing had happened is plain naive.

See, this is where I disagree slightly with RP ideas. I think it's perfectly possible to be friends with women without harbouring a desire to take them to bed.

That's wrong on several levels: It plays into the female imperative by removing agency. The only real difference is that women abdicate agency when it suits them, your proposal removes it unilaterally. Women are emotion-driven.

Which might be totally different to how she felt immediately before and even during the encounter. Hence why women are often better liars. They …

Exactly - I've got my own share of stories like that where maybe the sex wasn't earth shattering, maybe the circumstances weren't perfect. I think everyone does.

That's the whole problem.

The problem with calling out a woman too often is you're also subtly indicating that her behaviour gets to you.

Women are fundamentally manipulative. They haven't got a lot of choice in the matter. Throughout history, they've had substantially fewer resources at their disposal. Manipulation is a way to get access to the resources they need. The upshot is that telling your wife too much is fundamentally dangerous - you're explicitly telling her how best to manipulate you. Don't be too surprised if she takes full advantage.

This is a variant on a theory espoused elsewhere - I'm pretty sure Kay discusses it in MMSL. Women are emotional mirrors - they pick up on their partner's mood and reflect it. This is why it's so hard to get out of the vicious circle that is a constantly moaning wife once you get into it. It's damn hard to keep the smile on your face when you get home and get an earful of abuse, but you must do so for however long it takes for her to start reflecting you. It's also why the traditional BP advice …

Have you considered learning a musical instrument?

I think the biggest mistake you made was discussing this at bedtime. You can’t walk into another room or leave the house without it looking like you’re storming off in a strop. Why else would you be leaving when you need to go to sleep? Whereas during the day you can easily say “Look, I’m doing this for myself, and that’s the end of it. Now, if you will excuse me I have better things to be doing than arguing with you” - and just walk off.

The mistake you made was putting yourself in a situation where the outcome was likely to result in you looking butthurt. Specifically, you tried to initiate sex late in the evening.

This is actually something that strikes close to home for me because around the same time as I discovered RP, my business was on the verge of closing and I had a lot of my identity tied up in what I did. I think the RP view is less "what happens to you" and more "how you deal with it".

I think it left a lot open to interpretation. My take-away was that male suicide is a societal problem that really we should be tackling at a societal level.

Women communicate totally differently to men. A man will say "I did not have sexual relations with that woman", and as far as he's concerned he's either lying or telling the truth.

Most of the "RP is all about..." brigade are people who've glanced one or two posts and made their judgement on that basis.

She totally believes the hamster; yes she fucked another man but because it doesn't count, she feels perfectly justified in answering any question about her having sex with someone else with "no".

Anger is part of your mind's mechanism to deal with the issues you meet on a day-to-day basis. For things you cannot possibly have any influence over, it's easy to let them go. After all, if you can't do anything about it, why get worked up about it? For things you know exactly how to deal with, you don't need to worry about them. You've got them under control. So you don't get worked up about it. Where anger is borne of frustration - which it usually is with newly-RP'd married men - the anger y…

You know the scene where Vizzini ties himself up in knots over which of the two wine glasses contains iocaine powder: "I am not a great fool, so I clearly cannot choose the glass that is in front of me!...." I honestly think women's brains operate like this 24x7 in order to shield themselves from the cognitive dissonance when a relationship is on the rocks.

Welcome to reality. Your BP ideas are the product of spending your whole life being brainwashed into a fantasy that does not exist. You cannot shake off that fantasy in a few months of going to the gym. It takes years of hard work. There is no shortcut. We say "the red pill", but the truth isn't quite as close to The Matrix as you'd like to believe. Yes it does open your eyes to a reality you didn't know existed, yes you can't un-take it. But to fully appreciate, understand and take full advanta…

Well and good, but the whole point of RP ideas is that women are looking for the complete package - or as close as they can get to it. And while no man can tick every box completely, you don't want to be the man who's barely making an effort to tick any. This is what is meant b…

Women think eating a bunch of tic-tacs and drinking a glass of vodka is gonna kill them. Just pathetic and retarded. It's actually beyond pathetic and retarded. While it's unlikely to kill them (very few drugs you can get OTC are fatal at any less than a whacking huge dose; regulation sees to that), it is very easy to do yourself permanent, non-fatal damage. So, not only is it a cry for help, it's a damn dangerous one.

Negotiation and sex should be seen as a massive red flag. The reason I say this is the terms always change, and seldom in a positive way.

Moral of the story is that females claim they can't get pregnant because they've had heaps of sex before and haven't gotten pregnant YET, or are simply lying for various reasons. My cousin said exactly the same thing. Swung branches like a chimp, then as soon as she met a man who was sufficiently well built and had something approaching stability she was preggers within 3 months. AFAIK they're still together and she's loving being a mum, but I can't help thinking this bloke was tricked into bein…

Women use sex to get what they want. When they have what they want - and they're reasonably sure there's no risk of it walking away - they turn the sex off like it's a tap. The irony is that once this happens, they get bored and decide they don't want it any more. Which is exactly what your wife is doing now, and would do if you were to live together again. There is no way you can make this work unless you get to dictate the terms - and when I say "dictate", I mean "engineer the situation such t…

It sounds to me like you haven't so much diffused the situation with your wife as negotiated an uneasy peace treaty that will probably last a day or two, max. And the strategy you used to negotiate this could very easily have blown up in your face. You said yourself: She took that rather better than I had dared hoped. - to me, that sounds like you were half-expecting it to descend into a full-on shouting match and you're relieved it didn't.

RP suggests that if you're not sufficiently attractive, women literally filter you out, making you invisible. I found out this was true when I picked up a hitchhiker maybe a year or so ago. Young girl, maybe 19-20. In any other circumstances, she'd have mentally filtered me out as if I was a piece of furniture. With the pill swallowed, it was something to observe.

The reason for me making this point is simple: I think a lot of newbs don't really understand why all the things that appear in RP theory are there. Historically, the RP answer has been "don't worry about why, just do it!". I don't think that's a very helpful answer. A lot of men (myself included) don't like this sort of answer, they itch to know more. "Don't worry about why" doesn't cut it; it's discouraging when you don't really know what the end goal is.

Boys have concepts like honour, morality and generally being "good" drummed into them from about as soon as they can walk. By the time they're in their teens, it's second nature. Girls get absolutely none of that. The most they get is "don't sleep around", and even then they'll scream blue murder that they shouldn't be held to that level of common decency.

It's much easier for her hamster to accept your behaviour if she frames it in a way that makes you look butthurt. Even if you're not. My wife does the exact same thing.

Most of the alimony/child support laws are rooted in Victorian times when a woman would basically retire on her wedding day - and it was totally unthinkable for her to ever work again. Nonetheless, my point was that if you're sufficiently wealthy or influential, divorces that involve you getting screwed over are a LOT rarer. Which is going to drastically slow down any new legislation getting passed.

I think you're looking through your own spectacles. Women's emotional feelings are very strongly driven by the environment they're in.

If you tailor the environment to send that message for 1, 2, 3 years - that's how long she'll grieve for. If, however, her environment says "Look, I know it's hard.

MGTOW seems very defeatist to me. "I'm not getting anywhere with women, I'm never going to get anywhere, why bother trying?" The way I see it, that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. And it's one that you have to talk yourself out of - we can't. THAT BEING SAID.... The only way I can make sense of such an attitude is if it stems from an incomplete understanding of the logic that underpins RP ideas. Yes, you've read about sorting out your diet, lifting weight, sorting out your career and it all seems …

I disagree. I think "just be yourself" is essentially "Many men adopt a fake persona in the hope it'll get them laid. Don't do this." Which is perfectly true, and is in fact what RP is a reaction against. But so many men have spent their entire life shaping their personality around what they hope will get them laid that their persona is anything but fake.

There are many posters looking for a cookbook approach to life. Because that's what they've been conditioned to believe is appropriate. Mum doesn't lecture her 5 year old son in the ins and outs of human interaction, she says "Be nice to Jessica or she won't talk to you!".

Memo to newbies: This guy has been on here three months. Let that sink in. Three. Months.

If you try and do it all in three months, it is almost guaranteed you will screw up.

TRP and MRP are fundamentally at loggerheads. TRP is fake it until you maybe burn out. MRP is fake it until you make it.

Extreme caution is advised. Even the best, brightest of us has screwed up many times, particularly in the early days. One of the easiest, commonest ways to screw up is to get over-confident, think "ah, so that's where I'm going wrong!" then jump in at the deep end - before you've had a chance to fully absorb and understand everything and before your partner has come to accept that her shrewish ways don't work any more.

It was vital to explain that when women say they want a "nice" guy, they are telling the truth. The issue is the female definition of a "nice guy" is a hell of a lot closer to Chad than the male definition of "nice guy", which usually means "doormat". Combine that with adopting a persona to get laid (women can fake orgasms, men can fake entire relationships), and you have a recipe for an awful lot of frustrated men who have grossly misunderstood human nature.

Not as such. The "good" guy is - in terms of his actions and beliefs - much closer to Chad Tundercock than the "nice" guy.

Yes, everything. The whole point of RP is you have some dignity. You are a man with needs, that's true, but you're also a man with standards.

Nope. Basic RP theory says this is impossible for a couple of reasons: Women are sexually passive; they get turned on by a man who is high value and turned off by a man who is low value.

There's lots of ways to answer shit tests. If you rely too heavily on any one way, it will lose effectiveness.

He's not; you are. Now, I grant you that some of the RP literature is heavy going and could benefit from professional editing.

That's because RP praxeology is not something you can understand in a 3 minute browse of the sub. Do that, and you're going to get completely the wrong end of the stick. Which is exactly what happens when all the white knights bang on about us being woman haters. We're not - quite the reverse - but if you spent 3 minutes quickly browsing the sub you'd see so many men still in the anger stage that you'd assume it was a sub for men to vent about what terrible people women are.

Gay men have been calling women on their shit for centuries. And like the breaking of a new dawn, I suddenly realised. This is why women so often love gay men. A gay man won't put her on a pedestal in the hope of fucking her. A gay man won't sniff her farts and tell her they smell of roses. A gay man won't mentally filter every word he says for fear of putting her off having sex with him. All that shit bores the hell out of her. She gets it from virtually every man she sees, it's dull.

TRP doesn't just try to change your body, it also tries to change your personality. Well and good, but past your teens, this is phenomenally difficult. You simply can't do it overnight; you've spent 20+ years becoming who you are.

There's no harm in letting the things that upset you out. BUT... you do not, ever, under any circumstances, let them out to your wife.

Women solve their problems completely differently to how men do. Most women will talk something over but - and this part is incredibly difficult for most men to understand - they're doing this to try and get their thoughts in order rather than to ask advice. They don't want advice, they just want somebody to nod and coo sympathetically occasionally. The upshot is that her man will wind up being on the receiving end of a never-ending barrage of petty shit, a sort of stream of consciousness that o…

Maybe. But in most Western countries, "average" these days doesn't just mean "a weak physique with no visible muscles". It means "a weak physique with no visible muscles and at least 3 stone (42lb) of excess fat". I'm hazarding a guess here as I've never really spent time in an unstable society, but I imagine there are relatively few men in such societies - however betafied - who could do with going on a crash diet.

It's worth noting here that "beta" in the context of an unstable society does not mean "overweight with no muscles", because such a man cannot offer the safety bit. It follows, therefore, that letting yourself go to the point of being overweight with no muscles isn't beta behaviour. It's omega.

The only person stopping you doing that is you. Restaurants are really, really easy because you're already there in a relaxed social situation.

Notwithstanding physical issues (many drugs can hammer female sex drive), your very tone suggests to me that you're still thinking about it backwards.

The last three months I have slowly started changing. There's your problem. Your wife will take a few months to notice your changes.

You are so right. My own mum is a very headstrong woman. She married my dad (who was a very weak-willed man), presumably thinking she'd enjoy being with a man she could walk all over. Needless to say, that didn't work out. After they divorced, I'm thinking back to the other men in her life. Two in particular stand out. One chased after her like a puppy. She had no interest in him whatsoever, and in fact openly used him to the point where she'd encourage me to call him up and ask him to come over…

I think most men think they essentially want "a man in a womans body". My wife has aspergers. Emtionally, she's as cold as they come. Most men hear this and think it means "frigid". Well, that's not entirely true, but it does mean "affection" and "attention" as far as she's concerned are words in roughly the same part of the dictionary. You do NOT want this. In fact, if you ever find yourself involved with such a woman, run away as fast as you can in the opposite direction, screaming like a litt…

A contract - any contract, no matter how cleverly worded - can be rewritten or torn up at the whim of a judge. Doesn't matter how many clauses you put in that basically say "No backsies!" - for all practical purposes, that's exactly what happened here.

I've heard of similar things going into a will to drive home the message: "Yes, I have thought of this eventuality and here are the terms"; I was wondering if it could be used t…

Doesn't matter two hoots. Her argument was "he agreed verbally we'd throw it out if/when we had kids". Myself, I'm wondering if it would have made more sense to account for any children in the pre-nup itself. A clause, if you like, that says "this is how much you'll get if there are children". It'd be a lot harder to claim such an agreement existed when the contract plans for such an event, but IANAL.

I never understood what women meant when their stock response when asked about hair/makeup/clothing was "I'm not doing it for some man, I'm doing it for me." Now I do.

The exact branch of the military is neither here nor there; the point is that once one reaches the position of captain of a ship (which is only going to happen with a great deal of training and a certain degree of innate ability) there is an entire culture which ensures that - short of the captain proving himself to be amazingly damn stupid - his word is law.

It's said that money fights and money problems are the leading cause of divorce. (MRP theory may dispute that, of course.) MRP looks at the underlying cause.

Being good looking isn't the be-all and end-all. It helps, because people are naturally drawn to attractive people and so you wind up with a self-fulfilling prophecy. Someone good-looking is used to having people hang off his/her every word, and so their interactions are invariably based on a self-assurance that everyone will look up to them. Now, human interaction is a strange animal. In a given situation, people behave the way they have been socially conditioned to behave. This is how people b…

Her entire argument to debunk the SMV theory was that women's fertility lasts well into their 40s/50s, which completely misses the mark as SMV has nothing to do with procreation. But it doesn't. Yes, women are physically capable of making babies well into their 40s. But female fertility isn't a simple on/off switch. After the age of 35, the ease of getting pregnant plummets and the likelihood of complications soars rapidly.

The LAST time she got in a drunken wreck, I got sued. MY name was on the car title. Apparently, under the law, since I "let" her drive "my" car under the influence, I was liable.

I was also thinking more about the parallels of "if i do x,y,z, then she will 1,2,3". I think it's very easy to read NMMNG, see the bit about covert contracts and decide that removing the "covert" bit suddenly makes it all alright. Personally, I don't think it's that simple.

Not really covert if you openly demand it. To me, it sounds rather more like desperate bargaining. She'd have been all over him while trying to conceive then turned the sex off the minute the test came back positive.

It's purely based on BMI. And BMI measurements go Underweight, Healthy, Overweight, Obese, Morbidly Obese.

This man tells the truth. The only problem I have with this sub is that you get a lot of field reports from chaps in their teens who are at a point in their life when they can try out a few ideas on a night out and subsequently swivel their entire worldview in a couple of weeks. The slightly older man who's in an LTR and has spent more than ten years post-puberty believing BP bullshit doesn't have that luxury. He has a LOT of work to do; he can play around with a few experiments to see how his L…

If feminists want to spread their ideology, they'd be wise to learn that genuine empathy sells better than immature bullying tactics. The day the world's women are capable of that, Satan shall be going to work in a snowplough.

It's tempting - and if your wife was prepared to behave like a mature adult, perfectly reasonable - to demand one. But she's not behaving like a mature adult, she's behaving like a little child. By demanding an apology, there would be a subtext: "You have the power to wind me up by refusing to apologise". And you're quite right not to let it bother you; if it did you'd be handing her power.

It is damn scary to read the comments on that thread and realise that is precisely what I used to think. Not on the strength of any evidence, you understand, but on the basis of society telling me that any relationship can be fixed if you just talk to each other enough. Of course, that doesn't work so well when your spouse is absolutely certain that there's "nothing the matter" and simply refuses to entertain a discussion of any description.

It isn't about financial reasons for me, it is the power dynamic that marriage nowadays gives a wife. This sums up RP philosophy so beautifully in one sentence. My own marriage worked a hell of a lot better back when there was a slight power imbalance in my favour. It didn't need to be huge, and I didn't need to make a big deal of acknowledging its existence. But it certainly needed to be there and we both needed to know it. Things went wrong once that balance started to swing in my wife's favou…

Good point. OP: I honestly don't see how you can recover from this one. You are forever going to the man who announced he wanted to stop swinging - and then turned a blind eye to his wife averaging just over two new cocks a month for four months. (And not walking out after cock #1 most definitely is turning a blind eye, I don't care what you say). I wouldn't be too surprised if your wife has brought back a few surprises - get yourself STD tested.

Get yourself Athol Kay's books and work on your MAP. The idea is you improve yourself to the point whereby your wife has a simple choice staring her in the face - shape up or ship out. And if she ships out, you will be in a much stronger position to find someone else.

Depending on where you are on the world, there are two financial elements involved in a divorce. The first is child support. Obviously she only gets that if there are kids. The second is alimony. This has nothing to do with kids; it's arguably a throwback to a hundred years ago when a divorced woman would be unlikely to be able to remarry, couldn't work because women simply didn't work and there was no such thing as social security. I understand alimony quite often ceases when the woman remarrie…

Nothing wrong with it in principle, but you absolutely categorically HAVE to have step 2 planned out in advance - personally I would say that you make sure you have enough cash saved up that you can put down a deposit on somewhere to live (rental is probably quicker than buying) so you can put the wheels in motion to move out properly the day after you've moved into the spare room.

Keeping frame has to come from a position of strength. The tiniest, tiniest speck of weakness in your position - whether it's in your tone, your actions or whatever - and your frame is jeopardised. Suddenly you're not being the strong man, you're being pathetic. It is incredibly difficult to fake because women can sniff that out a mile away. So if you're faking it - sorry, but she almost certainly knows full well.

Women are not out to get you by purposely skipping pills. They don't need to. The hamster will do it for them. A common rationalisation is "I thought I was sterile! (because I knew I'd made one or two mistakes with the pill occasionally yet didn't get pregnant; I became more lax and subsequently pregnant)". Strange how this seldom happens with girls who genuinely wouldn't be likely to want a baby.

Fantastic advice. But one question: My wife has developed an extremely effective way to fuck with my ability to enforce any sort of boundary. How? Simple.

Thanks for your kind words. The big problem is I'm coming at this after 35 years of beta with precisely zero clue how to attract women and a 15 year LTR/marriage.

I was the Ultimate King of Betas. Warning: truly pitiful story ahead. I used to have a strong relationship with my LTR with lots of sex. The main driver for that, I now know, was the fact I had a strong social life driven primarily by my workplace - there was ALWAYS a reason to go out after work, be it someone's birthday or someone leaving. I had a habit of not telling her I was out at all until she called asking where I was. All that fell apart when my employer closed down and we were all made …

Still I never understood why she was so heavily affected by my leaving her, she never once seemed to need me this much in three years. Because women are usually the dump-er, not the dump-ee. She'd probably said the exact same thing to many men before you and never once had they taken her offer.

There's a number of issues at stake here: RP is a general philosophy, and hence deals almost exclusively in massive generalisations. Every generalisation I've ever seen has exceptions here and there; they don't invalidate the generalisation at all. Men and women have totally different ideas of what constitutes high male SMV; BP men and men who've only just started looking at RP ideas and haven't really taken it in are particularly bad at this. Women's idea of what constitutes "sufficiently high …

You don't have to respond with a 100% gospel truth answer every time - in fact, it can work against you. As you (rightly) spotted, it was a shit test. Remember, there are 6 basic responses to a shit test: Agree and amplify ("Yeah, I was thinking of the noise it'd make as my balls bounced off the blonde one's arse"). Change the subject ("Yeah, you like it like that...") Ignore. (Bit difficult to do that when she won't let it go, and you can't really leave the room mid-thrust without losing frame)…

Good question. One I wish I had an easy answer to. My understanding is that the great majority of stockbrokers seldom beat the market average - and any fund that they actively manage will have considerably higher fees. If you're interested in stocks, you're usually better off investing in something that tries to track the stock market; there's plenty such products out there and many can be packaged as a stocks and shares ISA. Long-term, personally I'm interested in property. Why? A number of rea…

Keep enough in instant-access savings so that if you walk into work on Monday and find you no longer have a job, you can keep your head above water for 3-6 months. A cash ISA is ideal - I'm sure I don't need to tell an accountant why! If you're still living with your parents, you've probably already got this. Don't keep much more than this in your cash ISA. Put the rest into something that will grow rather better.

My biggest challenge right now is to fight the urge to get each of them in bed (WARNING: AWALT but also AMALT.

Funny you should say that, I was flirting with our waitress when we went out to dinner last week.

I've never heard my wife shut up so fast. That certainly got my own mind whirring.

Indeed, and it also gives you something to withhold that isn't a particularly big deal, at least as far as you're concerned. Incidentally, don't for goodness' sake offer a carrot that she can easily get for herself. She can't buy your company for the evening, so make sure it's worth having.

RP philosophy bangs on about things which are basically punishments - withholding affection, money etc. These things probably work if you're providing a lot of money, affection, treats, quality time together and so on. But let's be blunt, you probably aren't. And you can't take away what you're not providing in the first place. You need a carrot as well as a stick.

I don't think it requires smarter women. Consider that most women will be hit on so many times that they can basically pick and choose which dick to hop on - and this will start more-or-less as soon as they hit puberty. There's no shortage of BP teens out there; it doesn't require a vast amount of brain power to figure this out. I honestly reckon most women figure this out while they're still in school.

I'm absolutely certain it isn't possible. The absolute best you could do would be to explain that RP is a philosophy that tries to help men enjoy greater success in life - particularly their sex life - by adjusting their behaviour to account for how the world actually works, not how the movies would have you believe it works. RP ideas are never presented in a sugarcoated form or diluted in any way, simply because the target audience actively does not need that.

Because RP is a philosophy, and as such it deals almost exclusively in enormous generalisations. Are those generalisations sometimes wrong in specific cases? Yes, of course they are. All generalisations are. Are those generalisations - at least broadly speaking - more-or-less accurate? Our experience is that they are.

It's time to tell her she in danger of being replaced by a better model. Working on it. It's taking longer than I'd like, partly because I've hit a few plateaus, partly because I have over twenty years of post-puberty behaviour and about eight years of relationship fuckup to correct. That's nobody's responsibility but my own; I'm grinding through it. But she le…

Women want to make the rules so that men need to defer to them for any sort of approval or contentment. And yet when they meet a man who behaves like that, they're disgusted.

For every question, there is an answer that is obvious, simple and wrong. This is one of those answers. The reason humanity has done so well is because we have advanced societies that set down rules of how such a society is supposed to function. Some of these rules force people to operate against their basic instincts. A thousand years ago, those rules were religion. In many parts of the world, religion still either lays down the rules or at the very least has a strong influence on them. More se…

by now most women have seen friends/aunts/mothers do the single mother thing and have seen that it's not glamorous. If a woman truly puts her own happiness first, she wouldn't do this. Anecdotal, but I have an ex who came from a large, poor family. Every damn one of her sisters was pregnant and living in a council flat by the age of 19. She was the youngest and the only one who showed no signs of wanting to follow their example. I still reckon they saw each others example and decided it was the …

"Why are you upset, you don't have to have anything to do with it! I was going to raise it by myself" - whether she's honest or not has no importance. She can't be honest, because the law won't let her give up this right and it'll always be over your head. This bears repeating. Yes, it is perfectly possible for a woman to say that, have the baby and walk away without demanding money from the man and he would not be paying for it. Nobody is going to demand the man pay up unless mum puts the wheel…

Okay, all these diets you've read about where they recommend "high protein, low carbs, don't eat bananas"? All cobblers. Every diet - no exceptions - is basically a proxy to calorie counting, simply because calorie counting is a PITA. Much easier to say "eat this, not that". Now, different foods have a different impact on how full you feel (protein makes you feel full, carbs less so, fat less still), so your calorie consumption doesn't necessarily have much of an effect on how full you feel.

Of course, the top 20% of males are so alpha that they are probably cheating on their wives and stealing money on Wall Street, so they have divorces and unhappiness too.

/r/TheRedPill16/01/15 07:19 PM

Well... no and yes. 20% of men are probably having 80% of the sex; fortunately there's quite a lot of sex going on so that doesn't mean the other 80% are failing to get laid at all. I suspect it's more likely that maybe 1-2% are failing to get laid at all. The other 78% of men are either getting dumped on a depressingly regular basis and/or spending much of their time in an LTR wondering why the sex dropped off so very quickly.

We can be harsh and literal here, but the same language we enjoy as men amongst ourselves depresses women and dims the spark in them we love so much. Men bond by saying rude things to each other's faces that they don't really mean. When talking about people who aren't present, men are far more likely to talk someone up than down. Women bond by saying nice things about each other they don't really mean. When talking about people who aren't present, women are far more likely to talk someone down.

How would you agree and amplify though without looking like an angry beta? I think there's two aspects to this. First, the amplification has to be "turn it up to 11 IMMEDIATELY, do not pass go, do not collect £200".

Let's look at this from another angle. People who are happy in their relationships seldom cheat. It follows, then, that the woman who cheats is in some way unhappy. It'd be nice to imagine that the unhappy woman will recognise this and try to do something about it - something less drastic than cheating, perhaps. Alas, experience tells us this doesn't really happen. It is the mans job to take the lead here as elsewhere in life; if the relationship isn't really working, it's his job to take the le…

A Beta attempting to court an attractive woman is an absolutely repulsive notion to the feminine imperative, because it implies that a man is the one doing the choosing.

If you don't have any fucking punishments for lying about rape, then guess what geniuses, there's no reason for girls not to do it. We have plenty of punishments.

That's what our detractors don't understand. TRP is about leveling the playing field between men and women. They don't understand it purely and simply because the female mentality explicitly works against it - the feminist imperative only works if women can be portrayed as "oppressed but we're making positive changes!"; it follows that any attempt to shift the balance is making women more oppressed.

My wife was exactly the same about a year ago. Never cooked, never cleaned, never lifted a finger. Always with some paper-thin piddling excuse for it. I wasn't a husband, I was a butler.

I may be projecting here because my own marriage is in a similar position. So take this with all the salt you think it needs. But I reckon that sex in your relationship is as much to do with power as it is pleasure. By letting your wife dictate the terms of how and when you have sex, you're handing power over to her.

Don't try to do everything all at once; that way madness lies. Just concentrate on one or two things at a time, max. That's all you're going to do. One or two things. Once you're confident you can do them without thinking and they've become background tasks, as it were, then you move on to doing something else. Review your progress periodically to make sure you're going in the right direction.

Oh, it's more than that. So much more. You know what women really want? The hypothetically perfect man? A well-honed body. On someone who is running their own successful business that brings in a strong income. But who only has to work 35 hours a week. He isn't afraid to assert himself - and can get his way without losing his temper. Who can treat the kids when they're well behaved, and instil a firm but gentle discipline when they're not. And has a couple of good manly hobbies to keep him occup…

I'm using Nutracheck, which I'm very happy with, but it's a UK-centred app and I don't know if they have a US version. You really want to find something that's localised to your country because if it's done properly, it'll have a whacking great list of both common foods (eg. apples, potatoes, bread) and commercial foods (eg. Ben & Jerry's Phish Food); just punch in what you've eaten and it'll do the rest. For all you or I know, Phish Food is made to a totally different recipe in the US so the nu…

It is, isn't it? Amazing how it creeps up on you and you realise that just to reset the scale to top-end-of-healthy, you need to lose 30lb. To be somewhere in the middle of "healthy", you need to lose more like 45lb. Count calories with a food diary. It takes a surprising amount of effort to burn off 200 calories; it's much much easier not to eat them in the first place - and if you're keeping a diary of everything, you have to think "do I really want to eat this?"

To my eye, this is clearly an abusive relationship and you are the one being abused my brother. He's being abused because he lets it happen. The little nibble of RP truth has helped, but I don't think our protagonist has realised quite what he's in for.

The first steps toward being a better man is to understand the aspects of your life that you need to work on, accept them and face up to them. If you don't accept them, how can you possibly deal with them? Now, if I may make a constructive suggestion? Going RP is an ongoing process, it's not a simple "read this book, you're fine forever".

Just to add: There are two extremely good reasons why you're supposed to work on yourself before you start demanding respect from the women in your life.

You'd be wrong. About 55-60% of all domestic violence is initiated by women. I guess it probably depends on where you draw the line between "shit test" and "outright violence". In my view, the one progresses from the other. Let me explain: Shit test failure is based on "how much shit will this man put up with before he puts an emphatic stop to it?".

You learned an important lesson. When neither will back down, the one who wins a fight is ultimately the one who will inflict the most violence. Nobody likes to admit it, but it's ultimately true. And any woman with half a brain will, when confronted with even the slightest sniff of violence, respond in kind. Chances are she can't inflict the same violence herself, which is why she threatens the police. That's why RP is vitally important to a modern relationship. It teaches you to handle yoursel…

I thought most countries don't force you to marry a woman you impregnated any more? They can still force you to pay for the sprog. So you get all the responsibilities of being a dad with none of the benefits.

The typical underlying act is violence (or, in some cases, trickery). The sex is just the prize, for lack of a better word. You wouldn't defend a bank robber by making the claim that money is normal and non-criminal. Not entirely true. The law (and for that matter the feminist agenda) in many western countries is very simple: sex without consent is rape. The problem is there's all sorts of grey areas. Which of the following is rape? Woman is walking alone at night, goes down a dark alley. A man …

You have to look at the bigger picture. The idea is NOT to have a quiet life.

This stuff seems like it will land you in divorce court faster than a speeding bullet. In reality the new strong man drives women wild with turbulent passion. TRP comes with a warning.

So much so, they're probably within 12 months of divorce court anywa…

This guy is setting himself up for more grief than he can ever imagine. Why?

There are two failure rates associated with birth control. The one we all know and hear about - the published one, if you like - assumes 100% perfect compliance. If we use the pill as an example, that means the woman: Always takes it at the same time every day. Never forgets. Is religiously careful to ensure that any potential inter…

Take France for example, paternity tests are fucking banned in France, LEGALLY BANNED. It's one of those things that makes you say "are you shitting me?". The UK isn't much better. A paternity test that "dad" arranges himself holds precisely no legal weight. The only one that holds legal weight is a court-ordered test. And while the court can order the test, the impression I get is even with a court order the child's mum can refuse. In which case it goes back to "were they married? Has he ever a…

Actually, you've got me thinking. Follow bride and groom around with a television camera showing the process of making arrangements. Both appear to be enthusiastic. When outfits come up, use some careful shooting so it's not immediately obvious that the white outfit belongs to the groom and the black outfit to the bride. Bury the ceremony itself in the last ten minutes. Make a big song and dance of all the guests coming in (they're totally unaware of what's going on) and don't cut to the bride u…

Bit late for that in this relationship, I reckon. He stood his ground and took the keys. Unless he's not telling the whole story, he didn't lose his temper or get violent; simply asked that he be allowed to drive the car he's paying for. His wife's reaction? Sit in the car for four hours then call the police. Frankly, I'd say the very best thing he could do would be to divorce her then find TRP.

True, but as soon as you graduate you're more-or-less sucked into the "build a career"-idea of modern society. Doesn't leave much time for kids, and by the time you think about it, time is typically running pretty short.

There are very few tax breaks in the UK, and I'd reckon the risks are far higher. Apparently (don't know how true this is), the way a divorce often works is this: Woman has given up work/is working part time to look after kids. Man is working full time. They split up.

My own cousin did this to a guy. I thought she was on the pill; she said she "thought she couldn't get pregnant". She's always been a bit scatterbrained. My guess is she'd been a bit careless with the pill, not got pregnant and assumed - with no medical evidence - that she could not get pregnant. Her hamster then assured her that it therefore didn't matter if she was regularly careless. By a curious coincidence, she was in her early 30s when she fell pregnant to a well-built chap after averaging…

rejection of her bullshit and tantrums. Very difficult, though. She'll pick her moments - women like that always do - and time it so he can't leave the room. Then she'll take the typical female approach - wind him up so far that it'll be a minor miracle if he doesn't explode. She's been married to him for years, she knows exactly what buttons to push to get a reaction. When she eventually does get a reaction, naturally it's all his fault.

Think of it as a sort of combination of explaining RP ideas and support network dedicated to helping individuals help themselves rather than trying to change society. I'd hazard a guess that most RP'ers are here because we're not getting enough sex. If RP theory were more socially acceptable, it wouldn't help any of us one iota. If anything, it'd make things worse because it'd be acceptable for the "best" men to have a harem of women; women would compete to be part of a desirable man's harem and…

She'll still have his sperm ferreting around inside her, with any luck making her pregnant. That's the whole point of hypergamy - not to find a loving companion but to find good genes to pass on. The reason why women complain about it being hard to find a good man is because ideally they'd like both loving companion and good genes in the same man. You know something? I'd like a woman with a good figure who doesn't age, who's capable of intelligent conversation, who's enthusiastic in bed, who can…

It might have been white knighting the waitress if that was the first bit of snappiness that Carlton reacted to. But it wasn't. Realistically, there's only a few ways to handle such a situation: Sit down, shut up and take it. No way that woman's behaviour is going to magically improve if you do that; she's going to ruin the evening for everyone. Call her out on it discreetly. Carlton had already tried that several times; it clearly wasn't going to work. If she's going to behave like a child, she…

Oh yes. I'm a Brit; married and until recently quite prepared to accept the modern idea that an equal marriage is possible. I don't believe that any more. I won't go into detail - it'd be pretty easy to identify me if I did - but my marriage is in serious trouble and my wife is utterly unaware of how destructive her behaviour has become. RP teaches that her destructive behaviour is basically my fault for putting up with it; the natural behaviour of women is to do such things and if you put up wi…

God, 18-year-old me was not so much beta as omega. Hell, I was still a virgin until 19, mostly because I didn't have a clue how to even approach a girl. I wouldn't need an introductory speech, I'd need full-on mentoring. I think I'd start with: Women do want sex. But their sex drive is wired totally differently to men's; they're much more reactive. You absolutely have to make the first move for her to be interested. There's a reason girls seldom do the approaching. What women find attractive is …

To be fair, what I described is child support rather than alimony. Alimony makes sense in a universe where a woman coming out of a divorce is going to be financially crippled until such time as she can find another husband - IF she can find another husband. After all, she can hardly be expected to work to stay alive - and who's going to marry a 35 year old woman with two kids? I can also see some logic where husband and wife worked together and built a successful business which neither of them w…

Usually the reason is "for the childruuun" - the kid didn't have any say in the matter of being born and still needs to be provided for regardless of whether their parents are together, why should the child(ren) suffer? Of course, the children are going to suffer anyway - boys certainly need a strong father figure in their life. Probably doesn't do girls any harm either.

"...including sexual violence other than rape, psychological aggression, coercion and control of reproductive and sexual health." My emphasis. So, when her boyfriend tries to initiate sex and doesn't immediately roll over and go to sleep when she says "no", that's rape, is it? By that definition, I'm amazed the statistics are as low as 1 in 3.

Not, however, terribly surprising. There's no basis in English law for prenups at all; it's pretty much at the judges discretion to decide how much, if any, attention should be paid to it.

I dunno you know. I don't think it needs to get to that point in the first place. A tiny example, perhaps, but a few months ago, getting my wife to do something as simple as make dinner was invariably an uphill struggle. I'd regularly cook us both a complete meal from scratch single-handed so she could sit back and relax; if I asked her to return the favour she invariably demanded I help. Upshot: I was doing 90% of the work in the kitchen, and the other 10% was only getting done by her because I…

I'd love to peak inside her brain to hear how her hamster justified deleting your posts. I think we already saw that. She wanted to end the conversation so she could go to sleep. The fact that she could do that simply by not responding didn't occur - probably out of an innate desire to always have the last word. I would like to see how the hamster would respond to that as a followup question: "why not simply not respond?"

I'm all in favour of not backing down. But pick your battles. Purely out of curiosity, how do you think it'd go? Assuming you retain frame, there's basically two ways: You never hit back, let her punch you until she's blue in the face, maybe doing no more than physically restraining her from punching while trying to avoid causing pain to either of you. She winds up being charged with assault, you get free drinks for the rest of the evening. You never hit back, let her punch you until she's blue …

This might sound non PC but it's like training a dog or a child. There is no shame in saying something that sounds non-PC in here. Hell, by most societal standards the very concept of the redpill is non-PC.

To be fair, there are some medical issues that can make sex difficult or impossible and it sounds like this could well be going on here. Be interesting to see if it were half as much of a problem if someone showing enough alpha traits were to show an interest though.

Got one for my own wife secondhand, I think it was about £450. The original sales receipt shows it sold for about £1,000. The hilarious thing? The diamond itself originally had a ten year guarantee. Hardest substance known to man, and apparently the jeweller didn't rate the chances of it lasting more than ten years.

The keyword here is "book". Any idiot can publish a book - if you can't persuade a reputable publisher to take it, there's no shortage of vanity publishers. Now, if the book references peer-reviewed journals and the claims made in those journals stack up, that's a different matter. But I can't count the number of pseudoscientific books, articles etc. that have been well structured, full of references - and not a damn one of them is even remotely respectable.

so what do women do when they don't get what they want? They become angry. Which, let's face it, isn't too different to a typical blue pill male response. I'm sure many of us have been there at one point or another.

This is basically the argument given by Athol Kay in his married man sex life blog; viz. human sexual behaviour has evolved over many millions of years yet society as we know it (with all the associated trappings such as monogamous marriage) is only a few thousand years old and that's why so many men (who, pressured by feminism and well-meaning but ultimately delusional female friends, have become spineless betas) find themselves with dead bedrooms. Thirty thousand years ago, with no modern medi…

Okay, maybe you'd like to hear the more toned down politically-correct version: "Never get involved with a woman who has more problems than you." It's saying the exact same thing but with slightly less force. So, why does this sub insist on using the less-PC version? Well, once you start going down that route: "This is a load of horse shit" becomes "This is a load of fertiliser". "This is a load of fertiliser" becomes "This is the stuff that helps things grow".

When she meets someone new, she will NEVER make eye contact with them. She'll look just past them, or at their nose or their forehead. She does get over this, but I honestly don't think she's aware she's doing it. Not only does she not understand some things, she often doesn't even recognise that she doesn't understand it. Either that or she'll bury her head in the sand and pretend it's not happening. This might be more a maturity thing than an autism thing, but it's very frustrating because she…

There is a large truth in this, and it's the only viewpoint that's useful in driving/guiding us forward as men, but it disturbs me how it implicitly absolves the women from all responsibility. Because men are meant to lead and women follow. If she's expected to lead it, she'll flounder.

Good point, well made. Nevertheless, the general concept - "the attractive man is the man who has his shit together" stands. There's been some slight changes to what constitutes "having your shit together" over the millennia, but the concept stays the same. Today, a man who evidently can't look after himself raises questions about the kids - would they be able to look after themselves? Would he be able to fill his role as provider and protector? (Of course, this is where cuckolding comes in. If …

Try a little thought experiment. Forget everything you know about society today. Forget any preconceived notions you might have about redpill philosophy. The most basic thing any species needs to do in order to exist is to successfully reproduce. And most do it without any help from humans, without any sex education, without Barry White playing in the background. Homo Sapiens has existed for something like 100,000 years and spent a hell of a lot longer than that evolving to become H. Sapiens; ci…

My wife hasn't gone off sex altogether - but she went from willing (if not enormously enthusiastic) partner several times a week to starfish once a week on either a Saturday or Sunday morning but never both. I must fill a number of preconditions first, or no sex. It's not just that, though. The whole relationship feels like I'm running a hotel.

That women is not attracted to the nice guy but to the "bad boy"? Not quite as simple as that.
