They might know a thing or two.

A lot of these guys have never been in a normal relationship and all they think about is manipulating women to get more sex. Listen to your instincts. Deep down, you know when you're in a position of power. That's the only thing that matters. Jealousy is a signal of investment. If only one person is jealous, they're more invested. That usually only happens if there is a mate value discrepancy. Women don't want to be in a relationship with a guy less desirable than they are, so their attraction i…

A girl did this to me once. I told her I didn't want her to go out with another guy because it made me jealous. That made her very happy and we dated for another 2 years. She's just trying to force your hand. If you acted super insecurely about it, that would obviously change the cost benefit analysis for her, but a little bit of jealousy is fine. Women want a high value man to be jealous over them.

You got her friend involved. Now she's worried what her friend thinks. I think that may be what shut it down.

I don't know about other guys, but it is absolutely surreal how much more interest I get from girls as a 30 year old vs when I was 20. But I've improved in every way, current me is just objectively better. Can't blame them. It takes time to build yourself up.

If genes for confident behaviour in men lead to an increased chance of reproductive success, over evolutionary time women who find those behaviours attractive would tend to have children that have an increased chance of reproductive success... the trait and the preference for the trait become linked and reinforce each other forever.

Makeup will always exist, learn to live with it. If men are bothered by it not being fair, they should consider using things like primer and concealer to improve their own complexion. And there's no hypocrisy in saying you're just doing it for yourself. We're programmed to get enjoyment out of things that increase survival and reproduction. We're not programmed to understand the actual biological aim. I don't think about impressing girls every time I pick up my guitar, I just love playing guitar…

If I had been less equipped to think through all of the claims, redpill forums could have radicalized me and made me hate women. Instead, they helped me realize some things. I probably would have gotten there eventually without redpill, but I simply didn't run into the information anywhere else. Reading books like the Evolution of Desire or Why Women Have Sex would have been better, but I only found those recently. Redpill was one thing that helped bail me out of a desperate, starved, clingy men…

Absolutely incorrect. Short term mating is a more common strategy with males because we don't have to carry or raise children. That's it.

It's ALL genetics. Genetics for physical traits, and genetics for the valuable personality traits that lead to people improving themselves and their situations (intelligence, conscientiousness, openness, extroversion). Females are selecting for these genetic traits. We are not born blank slates.

Had an ex who told me that she had asked me if I loved her because she was high at the time and was just trying to see if she could get me to say it. The idea that it was a game to her upset me and I teared up. No sobbing, just reddened eyes basically. She taunted me, like "awwweee, are you CRYING?" A few weeks later she said "I just haven't felt the same about you since I saw you cry." She was a toxic person, all around. She would find insecurities and then test to see whether she could break m…

Porn has never been a problem for me personally. I have no problem getting laid, and at times when I did struggle, if anything porn actually motivated me to get off my ass and find something real. But I can see how problematic it could be for someone with differently psychological traits, or someone who struggles more with dating. Porn doesn't change the basic things men are looking for. That stuff is 100% genetic. But porn does cause hedonic adaptation, which can make us need more exaggerated s…

Porn has never been a problem for me personally because I do well with dating, but I can see how problematic it could be. Porn doesn't change the basic things men are looking for. That stuff is 100% genetic. But porn does cause hedonic adaptation, which makes us need more exaggerated stimuli to get aroused - at least while we're looking at porn. On some level our brains think they are calibrating to an environment where these sexual partners actually exist, which is a distortion... but does that…

"Downfall of society?" I think that's just a projection of the male tendency to be disgusted by females who are having as much casual sex as them. On average, casual sex is what men want. Limitless sperm, no investment required = different sexual strategy than women, who have to guard their eggs due to costly pregnancies. Men are also wired to see women who engage in lots of casual sex as less valuable, less worthy of our commitment. If she is willing to throw her precious eggs around like that,…

He's exaggerating. It depends on how you're calibrated. If you don't mind hooking up with people far less attractive than you, you can have casual sex with a different person every damn day. If you're a 5, 3s treat you like a celebrity. If you only go after girls who are 5s and above, they are going to be more flakey and vet you harder. I'm probably a 9. I had no problem "spinning plates" who were 7s. Was it worth it? Sure, until I found another 9 who liked me as much as I liked her. We both fee…

We're talking evolutionary psychology here... Moralizing it is futile.

You are attracted to girls with fancy genes. Men with fancy genes are less likely to commit or stay in relationships. Girls with fancy genes have fathers with fancy genes.

The evidence from behavioral genetics is that you can't change your personality. Lean into the "strong silent type" thing. Think of yourself as a potted plant. Stick yourself in an environment where you thrive – if you feel more like yourself in a bookstore, you're more likely to meet the right person there than in some noisy club. Learn how to be the best version of yourself, not someone else. The best version of yourself will beat phony mimicry of someone else who you think is cooler, every ti…

Pregnancy is a huge investment and risk for women, so of course they are the more choosey gender. It makes sense to say that women are biologically more "valuable" because they are the rate limiting factor. As a result nature gets a little more experimental with men. For example, with many traits there is more variability in males compared to females, resulting in more males than females in the top and bottom of the IQ distribution. 8,000 years ago, 17 women reproduced for every one man. This me…

I threw myself into countless social situations and was forced to learn. It's not something you can acquire through reading. That time would be better spent talking to people, in my opinion.

I lost hope that it was possible or desirable once you actually achieve it. Turns out I was wrong as I'm in a mutually rewarding pair bond now.

This whole conversation is missing the mark because of ignorance of evolutionary psychology. Women are guarding their eggs. This fact explains almost all male/female dynamics. Their standards are higher because pregnancy is a greater cost for them. The two variables are whether he will stick around to provision the offspring and how attractive he is. The latter can trump the former. Hence why women tend to hook up with men more attractive then them, who are over the horizon the next day. They ca…

As you progress, you accumulate fatigue. If you have two or three workouts in a row with no progress whatsoever that a pretty good indication that fatigue has outpaced recovery. You're better off just taking it easy for a week. The opportunity cost of deloading prematurely is much smaller than the cost of overtraining. Overtraining isn't much of a concern with beginners. But if he truly stalls for two or three workouts, beginner or not, he should deload. As a beginner, he probably won't have tha…

If you stall for 2 or 3 workouts, you need to deload.

I know from first-hand experience that some people like being treated that way but they usually have serious problems that make it not worth your while being in a relationship with them.
/r/askTRP29/12/19 06:39 PM

But at the same time, take them less seriously... If that even makes sense.

It honestly makes me show them more respect. If there are conditions to the way someone treats you and feels about you you respect them more.

I don't understand the whole approach thing... If I have something to say, I say it. I talk to them like they're another human instead of letting their beauty distort reality.

If you're self deprecating all the time that's lame, but to be fair, if you never self deprecate it starts to look like you take yourself to seriously.

Something sort of similar happened to me but on a much more dramatic scale and I didn't take the high road like you. We dated for four years, she was my first real GF and I was clueless about shit tests. We broke up but then suddenly she agreed to meet up after finding out I was using tinder. From her perspective, I made a convincing argument about how our relationship had been mostly great with a couple rocky patches, but I think it was probably her finding out I was trying to bang other girls …

If they neg you it's probably because they think you have uncommon beauty and are immune to normal compliments because you get them so often that they mean nothing.

You're condracticting yourself constantly and I don't know what kind of reaction you're looking for. The girl in the photos looks like a model and the idea that she'd have trouble dating is laughable. Are you saying men are threatened by you or something?

Everything. Is. A. Shit. Test. All of human behaviour is signalling, or some subtle, subconscious attempt at manipulation. Depressing, cynical? Yes. But also true. You don't have to be a psychopath to understand this, but it would take a psychopath to fully take advantage of it.

If a girl is hot I can go all night. If there's something off about her I might have problems. I think people underestimate how big of a role hotness plays in ED. Like with old men who have ED... If they were with a hot young woman, would they still be having problems?

Your standards are just getting higher, man. You probably could form a deep bond with a girl, it would just take longer and she would have to be more worthy.

I dated two 18 year olds when I was 25. They both were horrible at sex but in each case, she got points for dating an older guy and I got points for dating a younger girl. The gap in experience and maturity was a problem, but it was kind of cute.

Some people fuck off as soon as they get affirmation. They're looking for conquests, and you don't necessarily need to sleep with them to qualify as one. It's a hallmark of immaturity.

I was underweight, very submissive attitude, had long unkempt hair and no job, and I tried to compensate by having a bloated and pretentious vocabulary and quoting logical fallacies. Basically a neckbeard. Ugh.
