"Atonement" is for BDSM relationships, elsewhere non-neediness is king. "I'm doing X, come along if you like"

When it comes to male attractiveness, living in delusion actually has a reasonably good track record when the delusion is a positive one. But for what it's worth, I've known short men who have been obviously successful with women, and they tend to range from the self-confidently assertive to the sociopathically aggressive. I sometimes wonder if women really just want a man who gives a vibe of being able to hurt other men, and height is merely the most socially acceptable way of displaying that t…

Lauper's Theorem?

Conversely nothing repels them like the lack of women. We see this in their seething contempt for anyone associated with the "incel" label, even when they have no other information about the man in question.

You think TRP is on the CIA's top 100 ideologies it wants to dissuade people from? I can see that happening actually, as a result of (1) feminists overstating the threat to women from incel violence (versus e.g. partner violence), and (2) those same feminists expanding the definition of 'incels' to include anyone who disagrees with the feminist narrative. It's not like they're known for their intellectual honesty.

Keep bras and lingerie in your car Maybe something more subtle, like a splash of glitter or a hair pin? What's the girl equivalent of loose cat fur that lets people know they've been there?

In all honesty, I think I sound a little cringy. Like I'm paying far too much attention to things most people would never give a second thought to. Most people would indeed never give a second thought to those things, which explains the mediocre results of most people. The people that do pay attention to these things will generally pretend that they don't, which is why it sounds cringy. At a time when culture wars are being invented to revive a failing media industry, including holding up people…

The key is cynicism without bitterness. Cynicism says the world is a certain way, bitterness would tell you that you must have a response based on the difference between how things are and how you previously believed them to be. But bitterness doesn't gain you anything. Indeed, what precisely would you be bitter about? You've only 'lost' the opportunity to do things that would never have worked anyway, while now having gained the ability to make progress towards whatever specific goals you value…

At the moment, it's fashionable for SJWs to care about men's mental health in the abstract. But I do worry we're going to end up with some counterproductive 'solutions' becoming the accepted wisdom based on what would work for women, e.g. their use of victimhood as a form of social currency. I'm not sure what the answer is.

This is how bad the problem can get. Apparently it's creepy for men to want casual sex with women who explicitly say they're looking for casual sex.

Can't you defeat these kinds of people using their own value system, and suggest they are 'slut-shaming' (or whatever the latest heresy is) by not being sufficiently pro-orgy?

Also, nice guys on steroids would probably be less nice (not to mention more visually presentable) than they were previously.

Isn't show, don't tell supposed to be one of the main tenets of PUAs, just like it is for creative writing?

Do you think women who hate incels are aware of how they're actually confirming a core red pill principle: that women judge a man according to how other women judge that man? Incels are (often by their own admission) unpopular with women, so being identified as an incel makes them even more unpopular with women.

Mate guarding (or lack of it) is probably the single biggest difference between Reddit's stereotype of a chest-thumping "alpha male", and what this sub actually knows to be effective. AFC Adam (remember him?) explained this point well, back when PUAs were a serious thing.

Another trap I've seen some men fall for is to decide that "women go for jerks", but then become the wrong kind of jerk, because they haven't stopped to ask what exactly it is that the jerks are doing right. They're bitter and vindictive, rather than the self-important and overconfident vibe that would help them much better.

I was also thinking something like this. Isn't game just a way to codify and theorise what brings success with romantic relationships, something that plays to their strengths? Autistic people may be in a worse position than others before learning game, but equally they'll probably be the ones to benefit most when they do learn and apply it.

I've found that especially true in one specific sense, that (1) the approval of others and (2) tangible solid results are both forms of external validation. Once you get (2), you see how useless (1) is.

This. Looking back over my time at university etc. when I was younger, I don't recall any obvious trends in romantic success (not even height having any effect) beyond attitude, arrogance and overconfidence being good things. If I were south Asian, I'd be impressing women by growing a beard and looking like a terrorist (though there may of course be other downsides to taking that approach).

Celebrating the death of a human in a Zoo accident is very common To be fair, many of these deaths demonstrate the power of Darwin. We don't celebrate that, but nor do we deny it. In fact being aware of the is-ought fallacy is perhaps ultimately the main thing that separates us from our 'critics'.

I've noticed this too. Feminists complain about 'impossible male beauty standards', but if you claim to want anything else, then either: There must be something not right about you and so you're having to settle. You really do want what you describe, in which case you're a weird pervert for wanting the 'wrong' things. What is it with women and complaining?
/r/TheRedPill17/03/21 08:45 PM

Strangely we don't hear much about toxic femininity. Perhaps it's one of those things that women complain about only when there are no men present, so as not to 'let the side down'.

Male virgin without history? Perhaps he should claim to be clinically paranoid about getting AIDS, say he's had some relationships but never gone all the way, and keep on about how he's only interested in women with the lowest n counts. A new form of game maybe?

Watch a man say he’s fucked 50 women and women will be sick to their stomach. They will? Most of the ones I see would talk about objectification for a few minutes, before letting their curiosity get the better of them.

I just don't understand how women can fix problems in their life Easy, surround themselves with other women with similar views and in similar situations. Since consensus and shared experience determine what is right, the problem no longer counts as a problem!

Altruism, empathy and self-discipline are certainly all good things. Unfortunately what is more often taught to kids is putting others first, knowing their place and following the rules. It would be informative to consider how the first set of things is misrecognised and mistakenly implemented as the second set. Also, altruism, empathy and self-discipline are only really useful in an environment set up to reward those things. Otherwise, you will at best get taken advantage of, and more likely yo…

Are you now not worried that your friend will also 'save you' when really talking to a man you're naturally drawn to? Or maybe that's what she thought she was actually doing, and she later secretly followed up with him to find out what the fuss was about?

To be fair, I've seen some women who displayed capable leadership. Unfortunately I've also seen those same women lose out to other women who know how to play the system.

Alfie, In The Company Of Men, Daddy's Home, The Tao Of Steve. Interestingly, romantic movie The Best Of Me alternates between red pill and blue pill ideas every few moments, so most people watching it would probably just come away with their prejudices reinforced.

Despite this 'rom-com' style of writing, your experience actually demonstrates several PUA or red-pill principles. Either you're a natural who just needs to get experience, or you've done your homework. In particular this is probably a good playful example of what they used to call negging, just like a bad example would be those feminists who shriek OMG this guy was rude to be on the bus this morning, he must have been RED PILL!!! Do whatever you need to do to overcome the problems of your upbri…

Now your reader may be thinking, "Hmmm, maybe it is a mysogynist forum, but let's see what the author has to say." The red pill isn't exactly secret, but unlike other parts of the manosphere it's not actively campaigning for anything either. Why should people care if it fits the label of 'misogynist'? Labels don't prove anything even when they're accurate, which they frequently aren't. If people are put off by things that sound misogynist, instead of having the intellectual integrity and courage…

a forum which is based upon trying to have sex with as many women as fast as possible. ...and suddenly, your comments make perfect sense. Obviously I'm not as 'red pill' as some other people here who've developed a knack for seeing people's true motives in the face of obfuscation.

everyone else is doing the same, just reading, overanalyzing, and doing fucking nothing. Parent comment has been deleted, so without context this now seems absurdly optimistic :) IMO anyone who reaches this level is on the right path at least, since most people are regurgitating groupthink, underanalyzing, and actively harming themselves and others.

blue pill/feminist shit show. To be fair they've also got Jordan Peterson, talking among other things about the value of two-parent families. These days it seems like red pill truths keep popping up in the unlikeliest of places, I guess it must be real frustrating for people trying to run a feminist shit show.

you bragged to him or point-scored through virgin shaming. i.e. talking the only language he seemed to understand, since self-improvement as a goal in its own right appears to be alien to him. But yes, I would HOPE that everyone on this forum can see past and filter out shaming tactics.

Insecure. Jealous. Self-conscious. These are just some of the adjectives that describe the critics of this post. At least you've recognized the truth and are moving in the right direction, something many in this life never manage.

Women want resources from men, and men want sex from women, that is the way it is, and the way it has always been. To those that take issue with this, we should perhaps say that women want sex too of course, but they can get enough of that quite easily. They will always be wanting more resources however, no matter how much they have already.

On the contrary they began competing on who could care for me best. I think this is the solution. Each of the girls would have left if it hadn't been for the others. And it's probably much easier to maintain a non-needy frame when they're already competing to meet your needs.

Interestingly, the exception to this is when they see women fighting each other, in which case they waste no time in tearing the women apart. Perhaps because it reveals a RP truth that's bad for their business?
