1	Why it is hard to be an honest man /u/Neoreactionsafe made a good point- games can be fun. Really, anything in life can be fun, if you want to do it. That's a key point- it has to be a want, not a need. If you're too scared to tell a woman you like her, that's not a good reason to 'play games' instead. But at some point, you may decide you want a bit more drama in your dating life, to add some excitement. Double entendre is a game. Instead of asking for sex directly, you can make sexually themed puns and see if she picks it up. T…	/r/TheRedPill	03/06/17 08:49 PM
3	Why it is hard to be an honest man What seems to have been the "point" is that the OP has created this supposed duality where you are either "honest" and lack Amused Mastery (playful fun) or you are one of the "Evil Manipulators" who play Games with women and trick them into sexual Tingles. No, I am saying that "Amused Mastery" IS honesty. If you are having fun, you are being honest. If you are doing something you don't want to do, you are not being honest. Perhaps you misunderstood me when I said "mind games." By that I mean, if…	/r/TheRedPill	03/06/17 08:13 PM
3	Here's a single tip that completely changed my perspective on sex. I hope you have an open enough mind to understand that for some people, sex is just that, sex I can kind of see what you're saying, but I'm not sure I see the distinction here that you do. I'm not really a fan or moralism or religion, but I'm going to quote the pope: the problem with pornography is not that it shows too much of the person, but that it shows far too little. I don't know about you, but I don't think watching pornography is as pleasurable as having sex. But the difference isn't jus…	/r/seduction	19/08/16 02:15 AM
0	My biggest problem with this sub and seduction advice in general is that people have this "one size fits all" mentality. For example, the advice given on this sub will probably help a lot of guys who are living in big cities and are completely independent Now take some guy living in a small podunk town full of religious bible thumpers who look down on sex before marriage, the advice on this sub does that person no good. Why would you be on /r/seduction if you're a bible thumper? If you're not a bible thumper, why are you living in such a place? "Because I'm complacent" or "because it's where I've always lived" are…	/r/seduction	19/08/16 01:43 AM
1	Models by MM - be more vulnerable as in express yourself, put your personality out there, no matter what the result is, don't be needy... is that all there is to the book? It was mostly the ideas above (in the title) with some practical examples. Yup, pretty much. maybe i expected it to flip my life away or transform me. That's the thing, its not supposed to. You're probably fine as you are (barring things like basic fashion and etc, which is covered in the book if you need such advice). You just need experience. The point of the book is to stop you from looking for magic advice for how to avoid painful situations, stop trying so hard to succeed, and just embrace …	/r/seduction	16/08/16 11:27 PM
2	My personal principles for getting better with women and staying sane when shit hits the fan I just take that to mean try not to be a selfish SOB. Also, if you don't have anything worthwhile to offer someone, maybe you should find someone else, or work on yourself if its a personal problem.	/r/seduction	15/08/16 07:46 AM
24	My personal principles for getting better with women and staying sane when shit hits the fan Its good to have sexual tension, I think. Puts you in the mindset where even holding hands and stuff can be very exciting, makes the whole experience a lot more fun and intense.	/r/seduction	15/08/16 07:42 AM
1	CMV: TRP is primarily designed to avoid narcissistic injury, to narcissists. Betas don't want confrontation, they're driven to avoid it whereas alphas are driven towards it and gain satisfaction from it. Ah, I see what you're getting at here. Yes, I can definitely see this split. I know a lot of guys where their problems seem to boil down to wanting to avoid conflict. But on the other hand, is it really that they want to avoid confrontation? Or is it because they are afraid of getting hurt? Most guys indulge in some form of conflict or competition- somewhere that they ar…	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/08/16 03:43 AM
1	CMV: TRP is primarily designed to avoid narcissistic injury, to narcissists. the thrill of the alpha male is his sincerity and authenticity, something that obviously can't be faked. It can't be faked, but it can be learned. Sincerity and authenticity is simple, it just involves being honest and mindful of the present moment. Most people have all kinds of crap that stops them from doing this- they are worried about what other people will think of them, or they are distracted, they are not aware of what is happening around them, or they are focusing on some sort of ulterio…	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/08/16 03:08 AM
1	I'm giving up on dating. Well, sure- even if not online, lots of guys talk to their friends about getting girls, or do some sort of research to that end, I would imagine. The question is- do they all find the same information (like from a central hub like /r/seduction or a single book like The Game), so that we have to act differently to stand out? I'm just skeptical of the whole idea that if /r/seduction thinks up some new strategy, it will then become common enough that girls will pick up on it and we will have to swi…	/r/seduction	25/07/16 10:37 PM
1	I'm giving up on dating. The truth is at one time or another 99 percent of guys have looked at pickup/seduction material Do you really think so? I would have imagined it to be more like 1/300 who actually read seduction material. I have a hard time believing that what is written here actually changes the dating landscape in a significant way After all, there are only 200 users here as I write this. This is a fairly small subreddit	/r/seduction	24/07/16 07:36 AM
5	This is roughly 90% of the Game. I'll leave this here. ...women aren't little injured birdies. They're people. Fuck off EVERYONE has damage and insecurities, it's a very human thing. We are all injured little birdies, making our way through life the best we can while dealing with our own personal demons. The point is not to make everything about yourself, try to understand where other people are coming from instead of taking everything personally. One should try to understand other people rather than react defensively to them. But being patient with…	/r/seduction	22/07/16 12:02 AM
-1	This is why introducing yourself (Hi, I'm McLoving) is the best and most effective opener... I didn't know what a noun or a verb was before learning about grammar in school. You don't need to know these technicalities to speak fluently, nor do you need to be consciously aware of them when speaking. Just because something is 'normal' and comes naturally to you does not mean it cannot be broken down into components to be analyzed, for the benefit of those trying to learn or improve. It's how human beings talk to each other. Yes, that is the goal here. To effectively communicate with women…	/r/seduction	08/07/16 09:39 AM
1	I've broken through! You tried to put them on separate lines, didn't you? You need to double-space for that, if you only press "enter" once reddit will ignore it.	/r/seduction	11/06/16 06:47 AM
2	Am I just lazy or am I picking up the wrong hobbies? Its hard to pick up, but once I do I usually have a pretty good time unless I get frustrated with a song I cant play. Or I'll nail a song, put it down and just not want to pick it back up. It can be pretty hard to get good at something if you are relying on the feeling of flow to motivate yourself. I know it can be fun to play a song you enjoy from beginning to end, but that's not how you improve. A strong musician will focus exclusively on their weaknesses and the most difficult parts of songs,…	/r/seduction	05/06/16 11:20 PM
1	Everyone says "you have to make a move" or "always escalate and make your intentions known". But then you turn right around and here "don't try and don't have a motive". So what am I supposed to do? Try or not try? If your mind is always preoccupied on sex/orgasm, you won't be living in the present. Things like flirting/kissing should not be seen as mere stepping stones to sex, they are pleasures in their own right. When kissing a girl, you should not be thinking "OK, she's kissing me so I think she might be willing to have sex with me, I wonder if I can get her to come to my apartment after this?", you should just be having fun in the moment without expectations cluttering your mind. At the same time, you…	/r/seduction	31/05/16 10:14 PM
1	A DMT experience made me reconsider pickup and seduction Don't bash it till you've tried it.	/r/seduction	29/05/16 07:53 PM
3	How do I change this deep rooted mindset that I am weird? It's hard to make deep connections with people if you make such an effort to hide your quirks. I don't do anything supremely weird (no MLP shit, no neck beard, no creeping) No neckbeard/creeping = good, I take it you are well groomed and socially aware. As for interests/hobbies like MLP, it's not important what you like, what's important is that you own it . Believe it or not, most girls aren't going to leave just because you watch a girly cartoon show. What they WILL pick up on is your insecuri…	/r/seduction	24/05/16 02:05 AM
1	CMV TRP men are angry because physical looks, unlike before, plays a large role mate selection. They are even angrier because women have little sympathy for their plight. I wish that was the case, believe me. If looks played such a huge role in mate selection, that would make life SO easy. That would mean all I gotta do is hit the gym, get some nice clothes, groom myself, maybe touch up my face a bit, maybe get a facelift if I'm really ugly, and go looking for a compatible 10/10 girl. That would also be completely fair: attractive girls put in effort to be attractive, so naturally I should match their effort with myself. I also don't think its shallow to care abo…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/04/16 11:34 PM
2	How can you criticize women for not bringing anything other than looks to the table, and in the same breath say that even if women did have good jobs, interests and personalities, you wouldn't care because looks are all that matters? There is no contradiction here. we'll fuck her if she's hot yes we'll let women get away with anything just because they have a vagina no So no problems here when it comes to simply having sex between people. It's just sex, and nobody owes anybody anything. It's when we start talking about LTRs and relationships that require investment and shared time with the other person that does not involve sex that the points brought up in the OP become relevant, when people might say "so what does she brin…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/02/16 06:55 AM
1	[CMV] Third-wave Feminism tries to take a step backwards Do you think that Trump would be a good leader? Indeed I do. If we were talking about which candidate would have the best at keeping out immigrants or promoting the imperial interests of the United States, Trump would surely be the best. But I am not an isolationist, a nationalist, or an imperialist, and would much rather elect someone who is bad at representing my interests instead of someone who is good at representing someone else's interests. Why should women get special representation in a …	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/01/16 05:57 AM
1	[CMV] Third-wave Feminism tries to take a step backwards best people What do you mean by this? How can one person be better than another? People are, generally, very good at pursuing their own agenda, whatever it may be, and everyone thinks they are right. That means that very similar people will think they are very good, and very different people will think they are very bad. If two equally sized groups of people are different, than they are not fairly represented if their congressmen do not share the same 50/50 ideological split. Let's assume, for a…	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/01/16 05:20 AM
5	What Specific Problems Caused by Women do Men Experience? Given your restrictions, there are very few. But I must object to your last qualification... (e) anything like not having sex with men, or not treating men with respect in some way behaviorally, or anything that cannot be addressed with more rights or legal rejoinder. I do not believe men's issues outside of family law can be helped with more rights or legal action, and it is disingenuous to imply that any problem the government can't solve isn't a real problem. These are issues of social norms,…	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/01/16 06:51 AM
7	How could female hypergamy be stabilized ? So condom breaks = womens responsibility? Birth control not effective = womens responsibility? No, but not having an abortion is the woman's responsibility. Making the man foot the cost of the abortion instead of the cost of the child would be fair. I understand that some women have objections to abortion. However, in declining to abort they are making a unilateral choice with consequences that can be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. They are deciding that they would rather pay for a chi…	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/10/15 04:47 AM
