I'd love to see some studies backing up the claim that they are harmful in the long run. You are referring to the pill, yes?

Honestly, try hormonal contraception. You might have to try a few before you find what works best with your body. Just because your friends can't control what they put in their mouths doesn't mean the same has to apply to you.

If there is one area that men and women do not differ, it is that both sexes have everything to gain and nothing to lose by actively practicing self-improvement and awareness. NoNothingNovember may have originated in the manosphere but I think it's a great idea for RPW as well. I will be participating as I know I have areas that need improvement.

always ruthlessly defending the slightest criticism of your man. Do that, and you'll be fine. The point will be made, because they will understand that your man is your personal 'white-knight', and why would you need another when you've got him? Doesn't look like this will work for her as she stated: I really don't have the desire to get into a relationship because I am in school and very busy and focused right now.

5'5" with a 5'7" fiance here. I seldom wear heels when we go out unless it's super fancy. And when I do, I wear shorter ones. There are tons of cute heels out there with a 3" heel or less. As long as he's never expressed any discomfort with it and you're not towering over him, you should be fine.

1: How did you get moving this week? I've been making myself stick to a minimum of 4-5 workout days per week. Even if I can't finish my workout (I'm prone to injury due to a muscle imbalance caused by scoliosis which I'm working to correct), I must work out at least 4 times. I used to settle for 2-3 so this is an improvement for me. 2: What was your go-to healthy food item or meal? Spaghetti squash!

How on earth can you find the manipulative, childish, and completely ridiculous "men" of TRP high value? We don't. Most of our SOs have never even heard of TRP - they are simply the men who were not afraid to continue being men in the face of a society that seeks to feminize them. The men you consider manipulative and childish are the vocal minority: plate-spinners who are often stuck in the anger-phase of accepting RP as truth. These men are not LTR material. That was the purpose of this post, …

Even as a very non-hairy person, I find shaving my face to be beneficial. I have the lightest little blonde peach-fuzz stache, but shaving it off helps my makeup sit better on my upper lip and makes my lip line appear more crisp and defined.

I'm not understanding your argument at all. No one is trying to turn RPW into MUA, and no one is trying to "mask" their problems with makeup. I don't think anyone here would argue that makeup and appearance in general is simply a small piece of what we strive for. No one is advocating for disproportional focus on appearance versus inner self-improvement. I think if someone needs help with both, there is absolutely no reason to fail to provide advice in one of those areas vs another because a few…

Her issues here stretch beyond her hypergamy. She embraces it as an excuse for her promiscuous tendencies inside an LTR. Notice her complete lack of empathy for her man. She's not looking for help because she's worried about her relationship, she's worried that her ceaseless chase of something better is going to result in her winding up a dried-up spinster (hence, selfish). The fact that she realistically holds the belief that she can continue upgrading without any regard to reality (ie, the wal…

Women like you are why RP men believe women are only capable of loving how a man makes us feel, rather than loving the man himself. It makes me sad for your man, how you've actually deluded yourself into believing you hold a shred of devotion to him when you can admit you'd leave him for a higher value man at the drop of a hat in the same breath. Sure, your hypergamy is out of control. But it really just boils down to the fact that you're a wildly entitled and selfish person.

To add to this - OP, I saw the pictures of your face before they were taken down. You're naturally very pretty, but your picture with makeup was lackluster at best. With proper makeup you'd easily be in HB8 territory, IMO. Head over to /r/MakeupAddiction and take it all in, splurge on some good makeup, and practice! What I've learned there has been invaluable and I hope you can benefit from their knowledge as well.

You sound like an ornery brat who hasn't even given him a chance before you fly off the handle and condemn him. First off, there's a very important point you need to understand: submission doesn't equate to "less than". It doesn't mean sacrificing equality. It means finding balance between your natural strengths and weaknesses - harmony between masculinity and femininity. You sound like the type who's come to demonize femininity as weakness, for whatever reasons you may have been conditioned to …

The best thing to help with back pain and posture issues is exercise. Weight training, bodyweight exercises, and yoga. A corset might help in the short-term, but there is no alternative to the benefits of keeping your body in shape.

And I think rare is quite an overstatement. Honor and loyalty are intrinsic male traits. I'd be careful not to let the confirmation bias of a heavily plate spinning/MGTOW-inclined TRP overshadow the fact that there are countless men out there shunning high-SMV pussy all the time out of loyalty and love for their LTRs/wives.
/r/RedPillWomen10/08/14 04:27 AM

A man can choose to pursue unfamiliar women, or he can choose to utilize an LTR to satiate his sexual needs - whichever his preference dictates. One of the core tenets of an LTR/marriage is the mutual agreement to honor exclusivity. When a man chooses to cheat, he fails to honor his end of the bargain. If a married/LTR man makes the decision that he prefers the company of a new woman, that's his prerogative. But there is no excuse for not breaking it off with his wife/girlfriend first.

Would you mind expanding on this? Regardless of male sexual nature, bringing a slut into the equation might be a short-term fix, but at the end of the day he's still going to have a wife problem.

You need to learn to ask yourself if what you're about to say is productive. If it's not (and 9+ out of 10 times in tantrum-mode it won't be), keep your mouth closed and let it pass. I've found this works well for me as I was prone to the same sort of thing.

I do squats, deadlifts, standing kettlebell rows, dumbbell overhead press, chin/pull-ups, and glute bridges (you can type all of these into youtube for demos), with some yoga and stretching as well. I have a small home gym setup in our basement consisting of a free-standing pull-up bar and a squat rack + weights, combined costing us less than $200 (thanks, Craigslist).

I highly recommend lifting. Historically I've been skinny-fat - 5'5", 115lbs, around 20% bodyfat, and hated the way my body looked. I've been lifting for around a year now and my body has transformed wonderfully. I still have my curves and a bit of padding, but I'm shapely and toned because of the muscle underneath.

It's the getting started that trips me up. Something that's been working for me so far is something I believe I saw here just a few days ago.

I'll share a big one I've been working through lately - accountability and curing my fuckaround-itis. Throughout my life I've always been one to take the path of least resistance. And up through my early 20s, it worked for me - somewhat. I had two college degrees, a job, no debt... I was seemingly doing everything right. But I really, really wasn't.

Hooper here. Heavier hoops are actually easier to start off with if you're just getting used to the motion, but lighter hoops will provide a better workout. It's due to the momentum of a heavier hoop doing more of the work, whereas with a lighter hoop, you need to work harder to keep it going.

Interesting, I'll have to check it out. My current routine is a la Bret Contreras (aka "The Glute Guy") who advocates that the best exercises to activate the glutes are glute bridges and hip thrusts. I opt for the glute bridges (easier on my shoulders), 3 sets of 20, 15 and 15 reps respectively, with a 35 lb kettlebell. It's pretty difficult to walk afterwards. :)

I'm feeling physically awful at the moment, but it's a good thing (strenuous workout last night). I did my heavy lifting twice last week and my weighted hip thrusts every night (in pursuit of an amazing behind). I still need to get back into my yoga and stretches.

What bothers me is that I could never even imagine saying "I don't have much of a choice anyways" with regard to my fiance. There has to be something about your SO, real or perceived, that's making you feel like you're settling. You're 25 - you're hardly a spinster yet. Take some serious time, meditate, and figure out your own mind. You need to figure out in definitive terms just what is making you feel like you're settling with your man.

I've never been on the dating scene either. I had 2 LTRs (3 years each) before I met my fiance. What do you think you're missing? You need to force yourself to think in tangible terms - not "there might be a special something out there that some special man has, and maybe I'm missing out."

I was 100% sure my fiance was the one for me since a few months after we started dating. We've been together 1.5 years now and he impresses me every day. There's not a single doubt in my mind that he's the man I'm spending the rest of my life with. You need to start asking yourself why you have doubts. Is it your hypergamy kicking in? What about him seems inadequate to you? And why do you feel that way? You might not be able to answer that now, but think about it. You need to discover the source…

We are all works in progress. The factors that play into a relationship dynamic such as she described are many and varied, and no matter how much of an RPW she may be, she cannot impact all of them. Namely mental illness, if I may infer from her prior posts. Whether you intended it or not, you're coming across as vitriolic, which is probably the last thing she needs at the moment.

My fiance and I are getting married at 26, and we want to have one child, preferably around the age of 28 or 29 (pushing it, I know, but we met a little late in the game and want a couple years to travel and enjoy ourselves once we settle in to our home and marriage). Right now, we're both employed full-time. However once we have a child, I'm hoping to be able to either work part-time or be a SAHM so I can devote all of my energy to taking care of my husband and child, myself, and our home.

In this scenario, I'd consider the consequences you refer to to be damage to ones personal life and relationships, public shaming, a pervasive reputation, difficulty seeking employment outside the adult industry, and name calling, to name a few. But threats of violence? That seems over the top to me, and well outside the category of the consequences one could expect to face from being employed in her line of work. Where do you draw the line between consequences and unreasonable backlash?

I'm with you on this one. The last time my fiance and I tried, it resulted in painful physical complications that lasted months for me.

You know what else improves your posture and makes you look good in your clothing? Exercise. And why decrease your appetite when you can just improve your diet?

You need to focus less on what you should be saying, and more on what you shouldn't say.

Not a mod, but an RPW engaged to a 5'6" man. My advice is simple: don't let your height be the thing that speaks for you. Be interesting, be confident, take care of your body (aka, be fit), and exude mastery and control over yourself and your life. When I met my fiance, I barely noticed his height. I was too busy swooning over his obvious intelligence, his engaging and confident personality, and his ridiculous muscles. A short man's height will always work against him, it's just the way it is. B…

Ex-feminist checking in. In true solipsistic fashion, I previously saw gender-based oppression only through the eyes of myself and my own gender. I liked to think that I understood that men were oppressed as well, but not nearly as much as women. I realize now that is entirely untrue. I do believe women have historically been oppressed, and while the rise of feminism granted women the legal equality they deserved, it also caused a huge ripple-effect that has damaged men and women alike. Thus, we…

You're definitely right in that I was associating DT exclusively with negativity. I realize now that is incorrect. However, I recognized before that not all negative traits make someone appear to be a jerk: I'm all too aware of the charming facade sociopaths utilize to manipulate people. Using the jerk comparison alone was a simplification on my part. Now, I don't know what kind of man you're with, but he's unlikely to actually be a dark triad. But, he probably exhibits some traits of the dark-t…

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely work on this. I tend to associate these traits negatively, as I've had rather negative experiences with them in the past.

Thank you, this answers my question. It would indeed be true to say there is selfish drive behind my fiance's relationship with me. He loves me and wants to create a family with me because it makes him happy. It's his goals that he's working to fulfill, and I'm a piece in the puzzle.

This makes sense to me. Would you say that all alpha traits are sourced from dark triad tendencies? Or can some alpha behaviors exist independently of the triad?

I see what you're saying, though I don't believe it's true. I'll use my fiance as an example. He is not narcissistic, psychopathic, or Machiavellian. He is, however, quite markedly alpha. He is highly intelligent, and utilizes his intelligence to pursue advancement at his company (he's an engineer in a specialized field). He's decisive, focused (mind-blowingly so) and goal-oriented with respect to this. He doesn't let my present whims get in the way of our pursuit of a future together. He doesn'…

Agreed. The author's vitriol is more telling than she knows.

This is true, but the thing is, I'm actually not a 10 to him. He and I have ventured into this conversation before, and although I don't remember it verbatim, I recall quite clearly that he more or less agreed I wasn't a 10, and I cut him off before he could tell me his number assessment of my looks. I knew I wouldn't be able to deal with hearing concrete proof that he thinks I'm less than a 10. Granted, I know it was because of his straightforward nature (he's got a pretty hardcore STEM mindset…

I'll preface by saying that I understand this insecurity of mine is idiotic. I really do. But nonetheless, my biggest insecurity is the fact that I will never be a 10. I just don't have the facial structure for it. A 9, perhaps, if I manage to get a nose job before I hit the wall. But my jaw is just too narrow and my hairline a little too high to allow me into 10 territory. It's not even that this in itself bugs me so much. Combined with the recurring theme throughout my life that I've always be…

I don't currently. I'm fortunate enough to have the basement space for a proper squat rack. I was once a member of Planet Fitness, though, and it was nice during off-hours (I hate feeling crowded). Even with a tiny space, start to do some yoga or even just some basic stretching. Incorporating something like this into your daily routine will help you be more mindful of your posture around the clock. And to be honest, you should start a stretching/exercise routine before you try to consciously cor…

Barring any spine injuries you have to work around (if any), posture is absolutely correctable. My posture was awful for years, and I've managed to fix it entirely. I'm now working on correcting my scoliosis as much as I can (it's a mild case so I'm hopeful). What worked for me was yoga, dance, heavy lifting, and constant awareness of my posture. It's definitely doable, but it's not easy.

Core work should definitely help with your back. I've got back pain due to a mild case of scoliosis and my increased strength has helped alleviate the pain more than I would have ever thought possible. It's my primary motivation other than keeping in good long-term physical condition, as my pain comes back in short order if I get lazy.

Exercise. Nothing like a good heavy lifting session to relieve some tension and get a nice dose of endorphins to boot.

Oh of course it's not a strategy. I was acting upon an instant attraction and chemistry I'd never felt on such a deep level with anyone else. I am and always have been an LTR-only woman, and though I wasn't expecting it, in hindsight it's no surprise that the one man I chose for casual relations would end up being the man I'm going to marry.

So true. My fiance is the only man I've ever slept with outside of a relationship... And now he's my fiance. :)

I'm glad you posted this because it's helped me to realize why I tried so hard in the past to emphasize my more masculine qualities while drowning my feminine ones. For most of my life, I was ashamed and appalled by the behavior of the women and girls around me. This made me want to differentiate myself from those qualities as much as possible. Consequently, I smothered a significant part of my personality, which left me with a pervasive sense of emptiness I just couldn't manage to put my finger…

Seconding this. Lifting has taught me that I don't need to have 15% body fat to have an amazing physique. Muscle mass underneath some fat makes for a lovely, solid, and shapely figure.

I was actually thinking about this over the weekend. My fiance isn't the type to lose his temper. When I do something wrong or overstep a boundary, he'll just give me a one-word answer along with an expression that says "did you really just say that...?" Subtlety evades me sometimes, so I didn't pick up on it right away. But now that I can, I really appreciate it. He lets me know in the most effective way possible that I'm being an idiot, and need to knock it off. No room for my ego, no room for…

I don't see the point in an "ideal" time frame. When you know, you know. I was with my fiance for a little more than a year when he proposed. We knew we love each other very much, work fantastically as a team, and have the same goals and philosophies in life. We're 25 years old with stable, well-paying jobs, so for us, marriage is the next logical step in the process of building our family.

Hello. :) I found this subreddit after seeing TRP bashed all across reddit. I found RPW through the TRP sidebar. Being a former feminist, I came in with a very pessimistic attitude. That is, until I realized what a wealth of truth I'd stumbled upon. To be honest, without my fiance, I'd probably still be a bitter, whinging feminist. But being with him and knowing the way he makes me feel - inspiring me to better myself for the both of us, taking pleasure in pleasing and taking care of him while h…

I like to think I've found a good balance between the two by relying on simple pieces that flatter my figure. I have a slim hourglass figure, so I find form-fitting pieces work best for me. For a casual look, I'm a big fan of pairing dark skinny jeans and a classy pair of boots with a simple, fitted sweater. Fitted turtleneck sweaters can be a great sexy yet modest option. For winter, fit-and-flare outerwear is a great addition as well. I also love layers, especially camisoles, since I do not sh…
