Housing first has a great track record of success in San Francisco. Let’s just increase funding for more of this.

I don’t think they’re actively plotting misandry. I think it’s because people seem to, in general, loathe undesirable people. You have a visceral aversion that’s subconscious when you see a disfigured person. We have to train ourselves to not react in order to be polite. It’s why women feel attacked if a man they consider unattractive approaches them. It’s why watching a morbidly obese person eat makes you want to vomit. Democrat pollsters know that the party demos well with white women, so they…

Modern society is too quick to recommend therapy in my opinion. Whatever happened to “just vent with your friends?” Remember the phrase “letting off steam?” Now we have people saying to save those kinds of things for your therapist and people complain about “emotional labor.”

Last year at my mothers school district (she’s a grade school teacher) they rolled out a policy to encourage girls to go into STEAM. A new acronym they invented, it’s STEM, but with an A to include the Arts. That’s right folks, we’re full circle.

I’ll go further and say that the better answer is for you to figure how to have more options first. To use the homeless guy analogy, what’s more helpful to him long term? $100 right now or a clear path to not be homeless anymore? Your original assertion was correct - but you cannot have abundance unless you build yourself up into the best version of yourself first.

When I was in college there was a chick I was into that I thought was in my league that ended up dating an objectively worse version of myself. Same height, hair color, eye color, just 10% more body fat. Shittier job and career prospects but had the same hobbies as me at the time. Always a total buzzkill at parties. Also about 8 years older than me. I couldn’t understand it at all and it threw my confidence for a while.

I’m married now but literally every girlfriend I had would tell me dudes who clearly put a fuck ton of effort in the gym and focusing on diet only looked average. “I want an average looking dad bod guy” “So somebody who looks like John Krasinski?” “Yes exactly!” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ve had ups and downs with my physique but every time I had it totally dialed in, it would go great with OLD or casual meetups but in a LTR it was a total drag.

You hit on a lot of good points here. I work in finance and I wouldn’t be able to stand it if my partner also worked in finance. But simultaneously- if I come home in a bad mood and my wife asks me “what’s bothering you” and I literally cannot articulate it in a satisfying way because she wouldn’t understand - this is incredibly frustrating. Results in men just bottling things up.

I've been banned from other subreddits for "hate speech" for mentioning that obesity is a medical condition that leads to higher mortality. I just disagreed with a person (it was related to COVID mortality), stated a scientific fact, and I was accused of being hateful and silenced. So yes, disagreement = hate for a lot of these people.

You misspelled the name of the company that you applied to in the first email. In addition, a cashier is not the kind of job that you need a resume to apply to. This is why they didn't respond to you.

Yeah but she can't just dump all of her Amazon stock. There's also some sort of control clause where Jeff gets to keep the voting control rights to Mackenzie's shares but don't quote me on the specific details. Don't get me wrong she's probably filthy fucking rich but she absolutely does not have the cash floating around to drop $30mm at any given time. She likely is just donating some Amazon stock, which would conveniently erase her tax liability from her windfall divorce settlement.

It's because they associate incels with "nice guys" and beta related behavior, then they believe that TRP is evil so they also associate them with that. I'm willing to paint with a broad brush here and say that every woman that grew up in a 1st world country has experienced at least a few instances of this. And this is key - they literally despise these people.

Social mobility is a trap in some ways. Someone has to work in the factories. Someone has to collect the garbage. Someone has to deliver the mail. Interesting that all of these jobs used to be middle class jobs in America. In some cases they still are.

Yeah that's another interesting one. What happened to that movement? It's totally dead. Conspiracy theorists would say that the corporate donor class specifically started pushing more idpol to take the steam out of OWS. People have been aware of the income inequality issue for a while, of course. Thomas Picketty's "Capital in the 21st Century" was a real eye opener for me. But real solutions to these issues in the US, as far as I am aware of, were really only championed by the New Deal era democ…

So this might actually be a crazy but ... think about Romney Care. Biden has outright stated that he would veto Medicare-For-All. Is it theoretically possible that there will be a major party realignment after this election cycle? Trump already has more or less collected the support of all working class whites. Is it possible that the conservatives may actually be the first party to seriously consider a true single-payer option?

Firstly, we need to build a movement on the left that is against identity politics and for the restoration of the labour movement. We need to identify and support politicians among the left that are aligned with our goals and values, who are able to continuously steer the political debate away from identity politics and back to the real issues. A recent example of this in the US is Bernie Sanders, who did fall victim to identity politics sometimes, but who was usually very good at steering the c…

Agreed with the above but I'll ask the same of you as I asked somebody else. What can be done here? Google, Facebook, and Twitter are extremely powerful and wealthy entities that are quite literally able to control the public discourse. Lefty organizations are completely unable to advocate for labor issues (which are inherently men's issues) unless it somehow ties into idpol.

Yeah the prophetic nature of a lot of this stuff is downright bizarre. For example, I always said "the lockdowns for COVID are so insane that they're going to end with riots" kind of in a tongue-in-cheek way.

There were women who shamed men for being anti-war, socialists or anarchists like the White Feather Movement who even hated the Russian revolution. It's still like this in a lot of areas in the world. For example, South Korea used to have mandatory military service for all men for 3 years once they turn 18. It was somewhat recently reduced to 1.5 years (I think) but the leading opposition to the change primarily came from women.

I don't think there's a misunderstanding here - I'm understanding the terminology quite well and yes, it literally is used as a weapon. I've had so many seminars and mandatory trainings at school and later on at my job where a woman or minority comes and lectures a group of white men how privileged they are. It has really made me desensitized to this issue ... I literally roll my eyes when I hear somebody talk about this now. For example, I grew up in a very poor urban environment and I attended…

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Seriously, what the Asian community considers attractive is different than what the Western community thinks is attractive. For example, the most common plastic surgery in Korea is eyelid surgery, the second being a nose job. Do you know why they do this? It makes them look more white. In the US, on the other hand, the most common procedure is a tummytuck / liposuction and the second most common is a boob job. My girlfriend always talked about getting plas…

Can also confirm this is true in my experience in the Thai and Korean communities. If you are not a weeaboo / neckbeard, maintain a job, and are not fat (not even necessarily fit), you will slay. However, if they are Asian but born in the USA, the effect goes away. Needs to not be indoctrinated into western culture.

My interpretation is that a lot of people refuse to admit to those "sound advice things," despite it going against their true nature. Biggest example is "women don't like guys with big muscles." This is plainly false as evidenced by people's behavior, yet somehow this little lie is so pervasive that it is held by every bluepilled guy. You can see it real time in conversations like "I don't think ___ makes guys more attractive/datable, in fact somebody like Jessie Eisenberg is the most handsome t…

They see the average salary for men irrespective of profession and say that this means that women should get the same average salary. They don't ever consider the possibility that maybe society encourages men to select higher risk jobs / more working hours to earn more ... this kind of logic is not within their capacity.

$25 an hour is a 50K a year job ($25 * 40 hour week * 50 weeks [2 weeks are vacation]). This is more than what an entry level lawyer makes if they're in civil service (Big Law is obviously more). If they aren't outright unemployable, you can guarantee that this legislation will just produce more single mothers. "Let me get this straight, if I'm married, I get $10.10 an hour. But if I'm single, I get $24.80 an hour, WIC, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and Social Security?"

I'm a late 30s male. I want commitment. I've probably wanted commitment since my early 20s. Since my 30s, I don't even care so much about the sex aspect. I enjoy the relationships. It makes me feel more secure. I have a difficult time reconciling what I want/feel with what is actually true, ie; no woman will love you unconditionally the way you want them to, they will only love you provided you can still give some sort of utility (be it affection, attention, protection, shelter, money, etc).

But most chicks got that ONE dude that they messed with no strings attached and never hassled him. Most men want to be THAT guy. If they can't be then this is the next best way to get laid consistently. It pays to be a fuckboy. I might be the minority in this subreddit but I do not want to be that guy. I want an LTR. I'm happier in an LTR. In my personal opinion, I think most men are in the same boat as me.

You are not wrong. Society has a “head in the sand” mentality surrounding these issues. I don’t have any advice for you other than “this sucks.” I don’t know, maybe move to a non-western community? The reality is if you want a partner you’re likely going to have to settle for someone way below your level and also likely have to acquiesce to all of their demands. Statistically speaking the relationship won’t last anyway too, even if you get married.

It’s possible but it’s also a “crabs in a bucket” mentality. “My junior years sucked so eat shit and make sure you have that memo done by 8am [sent: 2:32am]” Hiring more people might make it a little easier but probably not. It’s more because it’s a deal based environment, very similar to sales. Let’s say my boss takes a CEO out golfing on a random Thursday.

No one is really saying that though. It’s easy to argue against a strawman (and lots of TRPers do just that). I sympathize with some of the commenters here. For better or worse, men are motivated by sex. From like age 13 on ... all they can think about is sex. Why do men join bands, work out, start companies, get high paying careers? It’s all because of sex. I concede it’s not the only reason, but deep down I think people just want a family with a house and dog and a white picket fence. “The Ame…

Obesity adds a noticeable amount of adipose tissue to your face, even if you don't have a "double chin." If you want a visible jawline, you need to be in good shape. More muscles will increase your baseline calorie burn, hence lifting alone without even doing cardio will get you into much better shape than exclusively doing cardio.

You make it seem like a guy will go to the gym 3x a week for 25 minutes each time and accidentally turn into some freak of nature within a few months.

Women seem to refuse to understand that the "average guy" to them is actually way above average. The median weight / height for American males is 5'9" and 190-195lbs. That's borderline obesity.

In my experience, unfortunately, everything is transactional. Everything. Every man pays for sex. You just pay indirectly. Every man pays for love. There is no such thing as unconditional love. This is reserved for a parent and their children. Consider this - cheat on your wife. Does she still love you? No? Well I guess it wasn’t unconditional. Now try your child.

I agree that it is happening but I do not think it is a permanent feature. Remember it’s all about feelings with these people, not about real problem solving.

Thank you for making this post. I mostly lurk on this sub because I rarely have something to add, but I wanted to chime in here. All of my life I’ve been a “good progressive.” Except society has changed; the left hasn’t won any major victories and instead they’ve won tiny battles about “oppression” and the “patriarchy.” So nothing really changes except somehow I’ve been made out to be the evil white man. At my company there is a major push for additional diversity and inclusion, to the point whe…

I make significantly less money than I ever have in a start-up role that will hopefully land me an apprenticeship with the same company in a union pipe-fitting position. Why? When I was your age, I think I made $11,000 for the whole year. I was presented with a choice - continue to take it or do something about it. I made north of $300k last year. Guess which choice I made? If you’re worth more ... why are you playing games with a startup getting paid less? Unemployment is very low right now. If…

I’ve thought of myself as a liberal since I disagreed with invading Iraq in 2003. But the current crop of liberals have shifted the goalposts and I believe most of my views would now be seen as conservative. My opinions honestly haven’t changed much. For example, the left used to be pro workers rights. One of the ways they would protect wages was to have a strong immigration policy. It seems to me that it’s just simple economics that flooding the country with low skilled laborers will screw up t…

It's why people with high levels of adipose fat are more likely to pair with others who have high adipose fat. I take issue with this. Fat people still find fit people attractive. They’re not getting with other fat people because they’re more attracted to fat people because they look like them. Fat people mate with fat people because a) that’s all they can get and b) their shitty habits rub off on the other person.

Buy a target date index fund from vanguard. The target date is the year you retire. Dump the legal maximum you can into this every year. Set it up as a traditional 401k; your employer will have this already or the person on the phone will know how to set it up.

I think he might actually be beneficial for men’s issues, because the democrat party by and large seems to be opposed to any sort of men’s rights. Bloomberg could play the role of Ross Perot and spoil it for the dems, which might block additional feminist reforms from happening. As far as other left wing issues, such as Healthcare For All, he’s going to be detrimental to them for the exact same reason as above.

You mean consuming fewer calories than you burn? Does the equation somehow change because you’ve had a baby? Stop eating carbs, hit the gym for 45 minutes 3x a week. But you can’t do that because you’ve had a child? I’m not saying it’s easy - obviously sugar tastes good and working out is taxing ... but nothing about his equation is different for you just because you’ve been pregnant. Giving in to excuses like this is one of the reasons why the average American woman is now obese.

It does not. Stop making excuses. If they wanted to be fit, I mean really wanted to, they would be fit. Most women gain weight for the pregnancy and never bother losing it because they don’t have to - they’ve got their BB and plenty of thirsty dudes who will still hit it.

I think intelligence matters as far as “would this person embarrass me in front of my peers if I introduced them?” So it’s more of a “it doesn’t enhance, but lack thereof detracts.” Other factors are at play here, but if intelligence is lacking it’s pretty noticeable. Beyond that, I don’t think it matters because “intelligence” is such a subjective term ... plenty of people with average IQs have PhDs, etc.

Yeah. This is my understanding. It’s more of an incel point of view.

The black pill follows the red pill in 2019. Not trying to derail your comment on society, I just wanted to add something on the last sentence or wrote. The fundamental difference between the black pill / red pill is whether or not you feel like you have an internal or external locus of control. At the end of the day, however, it doesn’t matter what your view is because self improvement will benefit you regardless of your beliefs. It’s just like how depressed people are told to clean their room …

It is showing lack of awareness from a bluepilled state of mind. By “self selecting” and avoiding women who are out of your league, you’re subconsciously putting yourself into a few categories that are all instant turnoffs: Putting women on a pedestal Displaying low confidence (which like it or not comes through subconsciously when you’re clearly nervous) Signaling that she’s higher status than you so you’re already pre conditioned to do a lot of blue pill type behaviors (similar to #1). My unde…

Woman accuses man of using fake hate symbol. The OK symbol is not a racist gesture. Company fires the guy who's low on the totem pole, no questions asked. I thought this article would be of interest for this community and I am not trying to race bait. Try flipping the genders. Would a female performer have been fired for the same reason? I don't think so.

New York isn’t fucked. It’s the most valuable real estate in the world with the largest and most skilled workforce and the largest amount of capital to deploy. WeWork is just a shitty company led by a nut job leftist that was propped up by greedy venture capital investors that made a boneheaded decision (looking at you, SoftBank). We (New Yorkers) didn’t want Amazon anyway. Deblasio was going to spend $3BN on a new subway stop just for amazon and they weren’t going to pay any tax. My rent is hig…

Your house should only be 2-3x your gross income otherwise you’ll potentially have financial problems if anything comes up. Saving the down payment is usually the hardest part. In the US if you’re a first time homebuyer you can qualify for various credits that lets you put less down. So long as the mortgage is within your budget it’s probably ok - just remember the 25% rule (after tax, not pre tax). Try to get a 15 year fixed rate mortgage. If you have to go for a 30 year adjustable rate that pr…

Here’s what I did to increase my income by a factor of 10 (yes, ten times more) from 22 to 32. I don’t feel rich by any means so take this with a grain of salt. Quit playing video games (you can still play occasionally but your life is too short to spend big chunks of time on this). Invest in yourself constantly. Physical and mental. Aim to improve every single day. Pick a trade and stick with it. Change jobs every 2-4 years to maximize your salary and ensure you’re always being paid the market …

I think a lot of people feel the same way. I’m at a point in my life where on paper, things have never been better. I make the most money I’ve had, I live in the nicest house, am the fittest I’ve ever been ... and I don’t feel like doing shit. I’m right there with you man. Wish I could offer something to make you feel better.

I don’t understand why they write “NO CHEATERS.” Like ... does this seriously filter anyone? “Oh, I was going to swipe right buuuut she says no cheaters and I’m a cheater so I guess I’ll swipe left.”

I might be in the minority here but I personally want a partner. Not someone to be led, not someone to be 100% subservient, etc. Unfortunately, TRP teaches us that this is blue pill thinking and what I am seeking is basically a unicorn as women will naturally be attracted to men who lead them.

The problem with the sub is (most of) the more active users will be new(ish). Once somebody internalizes the tools, there isn’t much discussion left to be had. I’d rather the newbies ask the questions to still have an active sub; sometimes the responses are overly hostile (ie “read the sidebar faggot”).

This is actually wrong. The “freer” the society, the greater the inequality between men and women. Scandinavian countries, for example. The more totalitarian a society, say North Korea, the more equality.

I had a similar conversation with an ex GF some years ago that was like a “light bulb” effect for me. In my opinion, yes this is absolutely a shit test. Your best move is to completely ignore her comments and just keep working out. As I started to work out more, she complained I spent too much time in the gym and not enough time with her. I, of course, invited her along with me. Obviously she didn’t want to put in this much effort (she already had me so why bother?), women don’t want to run the …

This literally happened when I was in University. The requirements to graduate from the engineering school was minimum GPA of 3.2. Too many minority students were failing to meet the standard by the time they were on their last semester and were forced to repeat courses or drop out. So the school lowered the GPA requirement to 2.0! Some of the classes were so easy too ... tests graded on a curve, bonus points just for showing up, homework not graded, etc ... literally just show up and get a C on…
