Would you accept that it’s hypocritical to say that women lose value when they sleep around but men don’t “because men and women are different”? We could stay there.

Ah, thank you! The percentage really threw me off. Like 20% of men don't have a body count of 3.2 Billion Women (80% of 4 Billion total in the world). So it was hard for me to figure out what the percentage was referring to. But that makes sense that it's percentages within the study. Although the no overlap assumption is a big assumption!

I'm not that deep in red pill talking points I guess, what does "% of men had % of lifetime sex partners" mean?

First date doesn't imply to me first ever interaction. It could be an escalation of a previous flirtation in a non-date setting, no?

Oh OK, in that case I agree that dinner is a bad first date. I've never used a dating app, so I'm not really familiar with meeting someone for the first time on a date. But if I like meet a girl at a festival or something, get her number, and invite her to dinner, I can definitely know we have chemistry first, and enjoy the date as its own experience.

Even if I'm paying, and it's just dinner, and I'll never see her again (like, let's say I'm taking her to her flight to Europe the next day) it can still be enjoyable to share a meal and a conversation with someone, especially someone you have chemistry with.

Equally toxic. Most women (not in FDS) appreciate the low-stakes of coffee dates. They're safer, more comfortable, more flexible in terms of where they lead next. There are many benefits to both parties.

ROI is a terrible phrase to use in reference to dating. The date should be enjoyable in its own right! I would take a woman out to dinner, even if I knew for a fact that it wouldn't lead to anything afterwards, because the date itself is a good time.

By their logic, the man is being controlled and manipulated if he ever gets in a relationship with a woman, she's taking his balls, and he's a cuck because all women cheat and if you don't think so you're just dumb. It's actually just extreme versions of mainstream misogyny. Of COURSE this is ludicrous bull crap.

I would say it is different but not for the reason a lot of people think. It’s different in that such a body count is a bit harder to come by as a man, so it definitely says something different about him than it does about a woman. Morally though it’s not different.

It’s not messed up. People in general aren’t attracted to people based on how they’re treated.

No it's not supposed to be that complicated. The problem with not being yourself is that, like, what do you even gain then? You're not even attracting people to you at that point, you're attracting people to an act, so doesn't that make it empty? It doesn't have to be difficult. With that said, a bit like romance, seduction is a skill that you can level up. I actually think that learning to drop the act and be truly confident is the hard part for a lot of people out there. Like, negging for exam…

Yeah it’s reality TV. I actually wouldn’t be able to guess who I’ll feel literal attraction to based on a photo since it’s so chemistry dependent. For men or women. Also I think my thing about straight women is really based on a subset of FDS type women, I think most of the women I’m attracted to just happen to wind up being bi.

I agree with you actually. The impressive Vs beautiful thing is mostly an observation from watching shows like Too Hot To Handle lately. Which is slightly embarrassing to admit, lol, I don’t normally go for that kind of stuff. I’ve just been so stressed lately that my foggy brain needs low brow stuff.
/r/ExRedPill01/02/22 02:28 AM
2

No it’s not that. I mean I believe men and women are attractive in different ways. It’s just that there’s something about straight women that sometimes feels adversarial, and I don’t get that feeling from most bisexual women. I am also bisexual myself and for sure men are attractive in a different way from women from my perspective. Men are often more “impressive” (work out) while women are often more “beautiful” (hair, makeup, etc).
/r/ExRedPill01/02/22 02:23 AM

I ironically feel more attractive to bisexual women than to heterosexual women. There’s something about choosing me over everyone rather than just over other men. In the latter case I somehow feel the least disgusting instead of the most attractive. Bisexual women being attracted to men too has helped me conceptualizer hetero women being actually attracted to men too though.

I think you're right that it's hard to feel like a worthy human being if you also think of yourself as having low SMV. I think that just like rating someone's appearance, thinking about SMV is a very shallow and unproductive endeavor. It's just that there is truth to it. But it's hard to recognize that while staying detached from it. I think it can be helpful to remind yourself that looks-ratings and SMV are shallow, and even childish. And the harsh truth is that it's not just that fewer people …

Red Pill has a lot of bad ideas, and thinking in terms of sexual market value is mostly very unhealthy and dehumanizing. With that said, it's not wrong. Most people pretend that how good looking people are is entirely subjective, but if you have 1000 people stack rank the attractiveness of people, or assign them attractiveness numbers, it's not just noise, the same people are consistently rated more or less attractive. In this sense, one person can be "objectively" more good looking than another…

While in my 30s I've hooked up with a woman in her 40s, some women in their 30s, and no women in their 20s (well, a quick make-out with a 29 year old). would you consider a situation where a 32 year old guy is hooking up with a 45 year old woman to be a cougar and cub type of a deal? No. I don't think so. But then again I'm 38 now, so 32 is a bit different. It's a significant age-gap, but it's hard to call a man in his 30s a "cub".

I drove three hours to have a weekend of sex with a woman who showed interest in me on Facebook. I underestimated how long that drive really was, and didn’t do it again. One hour though, for sure.

I think the only thing you can do if you don’t want to leave is to have patient conversations with your husband about the views themselves. Try not to scoff or be dismissive, but let him explain his views and then see if you can make any headway in persuading him that his views are wrong. I would think “do you really think that describes me?” Would be something that would come up (like do you really think I’m a gold digger, or see you as a beta bux or whatever nonsense).

Does it all have to do with pictures, how I look, number of followers etc.? Nah man. Genuine interests! Creating something cool. Like, take for example the hobby of blacksmithing. You can post pictures of cool shit you're making with steel. That's just an example though, showing that you are a genuine a passionate person is a big benefit. Pictures of yourself looking good don't hurt though.

Be genuine. If you’re interested, be interested. But don’t be nice for the sake of being nice. Take each interaction for what it is. If you don’t enjoy hearing about her problems, tell her. Maybe she’ll ghost you, but that’s what she was going to do anyway. Maybe she’ll gain some respect for your boundaries and individuality though.

I actually think this is one of the places where the red pill smacks into the point but somehow misses it anyway. "Nice guy syndrome" is trying to manipulate women into liking you by pretending to agree with everything she says, like everything she likes, do her favors etc. It mostly doesn't work because you're obviously being fake. Sometimes a guy might get laid this way, but even when he does, he's getting laid in a way that's dishonest. Redpill goes too far by encouraging "negging" or whateve…

Of course not. One day is too short. I honestly think that it would be possible for a dating coach to be ethical and useful if they weren't preying on people's insecurities and promising fantasies. I would imagine that it is totally possible for a dating coach to improve your chances of getting laid (without hurting anyone).

She has crossed the lines of what is appropriate, and either has been sexually suggestive, excessively flirtatious, or hooked up with the “friend”. In this instance, he thinks he is special and believes it is only a matter of time before they are together romantically I think that's a pretty unfair statement. It could be that she is ready and willing to cheat on her partner, and the man in this situation sees that, and calls it a connection, but decides that he won't do anything improper. Entire…

You have to meet people somehow! If you're not going to date coworkers or classmates or people who go to the gym with you or... where is the place you don't "eat"? IDK, I'm 37 and have had my share of romantic success, and I've never understood this advice.

So she was looking for a provider? Is there a rule against looking for a provider? So she dumped you. She didn't want to be with you. I don't get the big deal. At any given moment there are 7 billion people who don't want to be with you OR there are 7 billion - 1 people who don't want to be with you. People who are successful with romance go through many more rejections than connections. RadioSphinx has good advice. Focus on yourself and on whatever matters to you. If you're going to try dating …

I think it comes from a superficial understanding of what redpill really claims. Setting boundaries standing by your convictions are good practices for everyone, and "the woman is always right" mentality is toxic, so if you think that's what redpill is, I can see how a woman would support it. She must similarly misunderstand what feminism is about too.

The way they're talking, I wouldn't be surprised if they agreed with that statement. Which has its own creep factor to it. One of them said "Not all women will, but all women can" and that applies so accurately to men and rape actually. Which is interesting to me because women often have their defenses up about the possibility of being raped in interactions with men. To the extent that MGTOW encourages men to get their defenses up about financial losses associated with divorce, I think that's so…

I've watched a few of their videos. I think it's pseudoscience at best. I would focus on science based things like therapy. My wife got a book called "Anxiety Workbook for Men" you might try something like that. In general though I think YouTube is entertainment, and you're going to get a lot more self-help by going out, and doing some introspection and working on whatever self esteem issues you might have or whatever else.

I remember all of my exes fondly. That would be true of my current partner if we ever separated too. In fact, we dated like over a decade before we got together this time, and part of the reason it was so nice to get back together was because of my fond memories of her.

I think there are some ways in which men are disadvantaged compared to women, and those things tend to be amplified for black men. victims of murder victims of suicide prejudice about being a "thug" etc. Serious feminists understand that men are treated unfairly in certain ways, and that there's an intersection between racism and gender that affects black men and boys in specific ways.

From Wikipedia: According to its teachings, as social beings, the path to eudaimonia (happiness, or blessedness) is found in accepting the moment as it presents itself, by not allowing oneself to be controlled by the desire for pleasure or by the fear of pain, by using one's mind to understand the world and to do one's part in nature's plan, and by working together and treating others fairly and justly.

Actually I don’t. This deserves a longer response, but I wanted to clarify that I don’t think stoicism is a bad thing. EDIT: To expand, stoicism can sometimes mean just clenching your jaw and disallowing yourself to feel or display emotions. I think that’s super unhealthy. I think a healthy way to use stoicism is to feel your emotions, don’t attempt to hide them but attempt to understand them, and not allow them to control you. Give yourself a chance to think before reacting.

“Naturally masculine” men can still show extremely toxic masculinity. I would consider things like height, broad shoulders, being muscular, to be naturally masculine features because those features actually stem from nature. Plenty of toxic masculine meatheads.

The main ingredient to toxic masculinity IMO is men replacing displays of basic human emotions with “macho” displays such as anger, violence, mocking or even stoicism.

You can channel that fear of being falsely accused into vigilance about other people's consent and personal boundaries. Instead of thinking of it as a fear of being falsely accused, think of it as a fear of accidentally making someone uncomfortable. Presumably, you don't want to violate anyone's boundaries, and being concerned about being falsely accused has mostly the same remedies. Asking for explicit consent can protect you from being falsely accused, while simultaneously protecting others fr…

Do not get me wrong the court system heavily favors women when it comes to child support, child custody, abortion decisions and etc whether they are in the right or wrong Even that is not really true. https://www.weinmanfamilylaw.com/blog/2020/06/are-the-courts-gender-biased-in-custody-cases/ And of course abortion decisions have to be up to the woman since it's her body. Yes, that decision impacts the father, but his chance to not become a father happened sooner (as you point out).

I highly doubt we actually disagree about anything here. I think it's just hard to accurately describe the situation. I'll try, because like I said, I think we're likely in agreement: Biological differences between men and women are non-zero. Biological differences between men and women have a non-zero impact on our relationships with each other.

Physical cues matter. For example, when a man and a woman are alone in a room, there's a good chance that the man is so much stronger than the woman that he's capable of physically overpowering her. Even if the man isn't doing anything to make her nervous specifically, the imbalance can lead to a tension in how the two people relate to each other. So, I think that these physical differences matter when it comes to how men and women relate to each other. And it is true that black people and white…

Sexual dimorphism might be exaggerated in our culture, but it's definitely non-zero biologically. While I don't agree with many of the minor points OP makes, I agree with his overall point that sexism isn't something humanity can ever get over, while racism might be possible, because there are actually significant biological differences between men and women (such as pregnancy, height, etc.)

Hetero women can't find casual sex partners and simultaneously expect men not to want casual sex. The important thing is being honest. I think what men often get in trouble for is pretending like they want a relationship when really they just want sex. And if you personally don't want casual sex, be honest about that too. And some people will be judgmental. Some people will have a double standard (either way). They're not your problem.
