I think the simplest advice is the best advice: you're bound to be more effective if you master what comes naturally. You identify as the stoic type and so go in that direction and master it.

This defies all logic until you see it through the eyes of the hamster sweating its fluffy ass off in a woman’s brain. Thanks for the completely uncontrollable laugh. At work.

You can think you live outside the system all you want until a need surfaces for you to integrate. Like having kids. And sending them to school.

Normalcy is just a set of definitions that we use to make sense of large groups. Same with stereotypes and archetypes. I think everyone knows deep down that stereotypes and normative categories capture truths in a fuzzy way. You can focus on the fuzziness, or you can focus on the utility. The fight starts when you have a culture full of individualistic ingrates who don't look at society through a macro lens ... which is what we have. If you see yourself as a fierce individual and see every perso…

My advice would be to add something creative to your life. If you're not the graphics / music / coder type, try putting some energy into your place. Pride of place is a great outlet. Edit: removed personal anecdote.

I would say you have an opportunity here to basically do what she's doing. Keep the marriage together, hit the gym, and go find your 9 lays in the next 4 months. Edit: further to that, you'll be creating dread and competition anxiety. It may bring her into line.

I agree with this. Investment advisors at large institutions have little room currently to think for themselves. It is very conceivable that they will be placed by automated money management software with a smaller group of relationship managers handling large bodies of accounts.

Not much carryover, they are very different. That said, if you get really good with Java, you'll have enough of an underlying sense for programming that picking up any new language will be a lot easier.

Java is at the top of every list and survey. As far as Javascript goes, I don't have a source offhand so I won't try and add my own two cents. I did a bit of Googling, and depending on what source you find, the #2 is not well-established. There's no clear contender.

I don't know enough to answer. I didn't get a CS degree and taught myself Java, Javascript, etc. The whole internet is built with Javascript so that couldn't hurt.

Maybe you'll find you like coding. I'm not trying to discourage you at all. I advocate learning coding, 100%. Coding skills are bound to rise in value as corporations start to realize they can automate away half of their payrolls. That said, if you're thinking of making a shift in your life then use it as an opportunity to consider all options. If there's something you're really interested in, maybe set yourself up to at least have some time to devote to it?

A few positive flags (blue flags?) that I would say based on my LTR: She doesn't sweat the small stuff. This is the biggest thing for me. What's more annoying than a person with a temper, who flips out all the time over stupid nothings? Look for a girl who can absorb the daily annoyances of life without losing her cool. She doesn't depend on you for happiness. This is also very important: you want someone who has their own life, their own friends, and their own to-do lists. Related to that, you …

I think you want to really ask yourself then what does interest you. Don't learn coding just for the job prospects. When you're a programmer, as I am, 1/100th of the time is spent unveiling flashy new applications to happy clients. The rest of the time is spent making them, i.e. working with characters on a screen. If you don't love it, it will grind you down.

If you're after the most money and the widest job market, learn either Java or Javascript.

I'd say the difference is I go to the gym, I have a busy career and business life, and I genuinely like competing with myself and the world around me. I'm not a nihilist. Look, the post I was responding to basically said "happiness is for women". I don't think that's a good message. RP sometimes pushes a bit too hard in the "thou shalt not feel" direction --- as if men don't have a full emotional range. Being in good spirits makes everything better. That's all.

The irony is that TRP is on Reddit and Reddit is my single worst procrastination sinkhole. Literally, as I write this, I am on Reddit, on TRP, at work, when I could be padding my timesheet with much more productive pursuits. Okay getting off now.

I disagree with what you're saying. Firstly, here are some synonyms for happiness from an online thesaurus: pleasure, contentment, satisfaction, cheerfulness, merriment, gaiety, joy, joyfulness, joviality, jollity, glee, delight, good spirits, lightheartedness, well-being, enjoyment If your life isn't full of happiness or its variants, what hollow shell of a life are you living? I'm a man and I am genuinely in good spirits most of the time. I am more proud of that than anything else I have achie…

We don't live together. In my province in Canada, common law marriage does not have joint property rights. My income is mine, hers is hers. If we buy something together or she makes an economic contribution to something that is mine, then that thing is jointly ours or that contribution is hers (in proportion to who contributed what). Spousal support is the only provision that really exists in common law where I live.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are two other ways that I have heard: if she can substantiate that she signed under duress if the couple's lifestyle has changed materially from what it was when the prenupt was signed (man becomes a business genius and it rains gold and Bentleys)

If by precautions you mean protection, I take precautions. I once heard the line "control the birth", and that has stuck with me as a rule. Pretty soon we'll have a reversible male contraception and these worries will be history.

I think it depends on the age. I don't think a typical girl in her early to mid or even late twenties understands the legal side. I think it's only when divorces start happening around her that she'll realize there's another side to clue in to, and then she'll get caught up to speed by her divorcing friends. Obviously it's a generalization so there are bound to be many exceptions, but it's the sense I get from talking to girls my age. Marriage for them is like a hollywood mirage. They don't see …

We don't live together and I would be very hesitant to have her move in. I like my privacy. In Canada (province of Ontario), if you have kids together you're automatically common law; otherwise you have to have lived together for three years. That's quite a long time. If you are common law, you might be on the hook for alimony, however separate finances otherwise remain separate. A few examples: You own your home outright, never charged her rent, and she lived with you: the home is yours and you…

I'm with you completely (I'm 26), and also I fully agree about the whole location thing being indicative of her female wedding fantasy vs actually thinking about marriage. And that's really the larger point: Marriage is not a wedding day; it's a 55 year commitment given life expectancy and the average age of marriage. I asked her: do you know anyone our age who could safely make a 55 year commitment? Could you? She looked stunned, because the answer is obviously no. Our generation is composed of…

No we didn't break up. One of her questions was, "well doesn't a prenupt make the risk go away?" --- which, no because..., but nevermind that tangent, she put forward a prenupt as a solution. Surprised the hell out of me. I asked her if she'd be okay with a prenupt, just playing with the idea, and she said yes. Also she did admit that she is no closer to being ready to marry than I am. She doesn't feel ready at all to be a mother or take on those responsibilities.

I think the whole point of the sub is to facilitate growth and confidence in men. A big part of life is playing, but I'd say raising the bar takes work in a lot of different areas.

I have a serious comment. All of this "bro" talk in the comments is not alpha. It is juvenile. And not just in this post. All of TRP, listen up: Being the best man you can be means elevating every aspect of yourself. It's not about pussy. Real power? Start thinking, speaking, and writing like an adult.

We can approve individual posts if we deem them worthy, but we cannot "white list" user accounts. Thanks for clarifying. I'm not going to reveal the time period, but I will tell you that it's a sufficient time to read, digest, and comprehend the sidebar. Is it time since the account was created? Or time since first activity in /r/TheRedPill? Does receiving upvotes on comments make a difference?

WE. CANNOT. OVERRIDE. THE. NEW. USER. FILTER. The other day I asked a few mods to approve a first post for me. Two did and it was very successful (lots of discussion, two golds, someone awarded me a point). But anyway, I'm wondering and I'm sure others are as well: Can you quantify what a new user has to accomplish to get past the new user filter?

That's a really good point. Reading through your anecdotes and others in this thread really brings it home that the person opposite you at the altar can branch into a million different potential people over time.

Your post is wary but positive towards marriage, but I don't get it. Why bother? You can have kids without being married. Another person asked something similar. The answer: You can't really have kids with a woman and be unattached financially. Family law doesn't allow for that. Maybe she won't get the lump sum in divorce; but whatever she requires the courts will award to her in child support and alimony.

Is there anything you've done to protect yourself? The only way to protect yourself that I know of is to put your assets in someone else's name (who you damn well trust). But even then, you cannot contribute new income to that fund since half of every dollar you earn as her husband is hers. Just wondering how you can reconcile all that you've written above with the fact it sounds like you're progressing down the marriage path? After doing the soul-searching that went into this post... When I fee…

The two are related of course. I look at my married friends and they all look miserable. That is a statistic, and a correlated one: chances are that any given marriage described with the word miserable will end in divorce.

Separate accounts do not afford any protection. Every dollar you contribute to "your" account is half-hers, even if you earned it. Every dollar earned (interest, gains, etc) on "your" account is half-hers, even though it's your account.. "Your" account will be audited during the divorce process and her share will go to her.

Just want to echo something in this comment. My parents divorced when I was in my early teens. Both of them are very successful professionals. On the whole the divorce was very amicable, very smooth, and not costly (under $10k for both lawyers). Something my mother did do however was use the valuation of intangible assets to her advantage - not just of their home (which she did do), but also of my father's professional practice. In my father's estimation she was able to walk away with something …
