nobody is saying that they deserve happiness without working for it.... but dating has become tougher for most men due to the social developments previously mentioned, so you could at least acknowledge that. There is a decent percentage of men out there that will never have great success in the dating market, no matter how hard they try to improve themselves, since there simply isn't as much demand in the dating market for men as there used to be. This does have the potential to cause real socia…

I agree that women are less financially dependent on men these days and as a result (at least for the women I know), they don't really care as much about how much a man earns. That said, I wouldn't say men are becoming less attractive to women overall, merely that what is considered "attractive" has changed. Whereas before women looked for men who could provide for them physically and financially, now they are looking for the man with the best genetic traits (whether that be physical appearance,…

i think you hit the nail on the head here. "Breaking bad" works because it is a catalyst for self-change and development, not because girls like assholes. It breaks nice guys out of the narrow-minded thinking that only kindness is attractive

True... it takes a lot to get to that point where you can become a true alpha though. There is nothing wrong with putting in more effort to learn flirting/game and working harder to get some experience in the meantime. And there is a big difference between a "true alpha" and most of the so called alphas that girls date, that often are just the only guys who had the balls to ask her out, rather than necessarily the one she initially showed interest in.

ah, yea I see your point now, that makes sense and agree with you on that. I feel like there are so few men out there like that though... most guys still have to make an effort (usually quite a bit) in order to have even ONE women who would choose him. I have yet to meet many guys if any at all who can just stand there and have girls flock to him, especially not in this day and age with tinder and pickup artists and whatnot.

I think a lot of girls do act like that... which is also a maturity issue. If they respond to you that way thats really shitty of them and definitely not cool. But lots of girls in their late teens, early twenties and even sometimes late twenties will act like this and frankly, I would count your lucky stars as you more than likely just dodged a bullet. My advice to you would be to not be disheartened by it, while sadly a lot of women (especially younger more immature ones) act like this, it by …

I disagree with your second statement, in my experience dominant guys are just as thirsty if not more so. They are just better at hiding it (but usually the girl knows they are thirsty anyway. But because he has more attractive characteristics the girl is willing to give it up to him to have a good time. Its all about what the guy has to offer to the girl, has nothing to do with intention - and thirsty guys get laid just as much, if not more than others).

I agree with you that women usually are not purposely trying to lie to men... most women I know aren't that diabolical anyway. However, at the same time, they are bound to social obligations and expectations that prevent them from saying what they really mean to say (and due to those expectations their true feelings and desires are often suppressed deep within their subconscious). Similarly to how most men don't want to admit their weaknesses and insecurities for fear of being seen as less than …

I have a very evolutionary view of this, I believe that human beings (but especially men) have an innate drive to increase their attractiveness to the opposite sex to increase their chances of reproducing, and that this drive is the strongest drive that exists. Therefore "better" decisions are those that maximize attractiveness within the SMP/RMP. Of course most guys aren't consciously aware of this, but still do it anyway. And different men use different strategies (eg. the hipster male who tri…

in my opinion, avoiding confrontation in this situation doesn't make you beta, because nobody is threatening you directly, you can just choose not to get involved. At the same time, it doesn't make you alpha either because you're not proving or challenging yourself in any way. But thats okay. I don't believe there is such thing as alpha or beta people, only alpha or beta actions in different circumstances. Depending on the circumstances, sometimes its better to be alpha and other times its bette…

so what would you suggest people like him (with "palatable" asp level) do to improve? it seems to me that people like that just don't "get" social interaction and it would be much like teaching someone with an IQ of 70 particle astrophysics (as someone that is really awkward/quiet most of the time I can really relate to this struggle). If that is the true limiting factor then no amount of lifting or maximizing your looks will do anything (at least those things have tangible effort to reward rati…

I was just giving respect that she is actually trying to fix this relationship and also giving respect to TRP instead of demonizing us right away. If she really is as nice as she says then I'm just giving her due credit. If she is just lying/attention whoring, what's another compliment anyway. Maybe its naive but I do believe that there are still good women out there, if there are I'd rather encourage them to stay that way rather than bombard them with questions and doubts until they turn into y…

You've made some very good points. For whatever reason, the guy just isn't into her anymore, and I'm wracking my brain trying to think of how she could fix this, but it does seem like things are already over between them, she just doesn't want to admit it. Considering his point of view, maybe its not reading the red pill that changed his attitude, but the relationship just naturally ran its course and OP is just using TRP as an excuse for why it ended this way. See I really don't know. Based on …

that's you, sometimes people do things on a whim, heck I got into TRP at first not cus of any real life experiences but because I read this one article about a guy being divorce raped and it made me really mad in the moment...
/r/TheRedPill27/07/16 09:29 PM

sometimes you gotta hide it, most women don't understand the nuances of TRP and assume that TRP = misogynist. Its like taking a suspicious picture with a really pretty female friend, showing it to your gf/wife, and assuming she won't think you're cheating. Not all women are against TRP, but many are, so why risk it?

If you read TRP, you'll see that it isn't about disrespecting women, it's about sexual strategy Tell that to him, not me, I wasn't suggesting that TRP was about disrespecting women... Being your own man, not taking shit, IDGAF etc are all encouraged to be done in class. By definition, if you're an asshole, you're taking things too personal and that's beta. If you think TRP is about being an asshole, you haven't been reading. THIS, totally agree. Why you gotta be a jerk to people except if you wa…

although i agree with this, nobody would start reading TRP unless they were having some trouble in their relationship/with women in general, but shit happens in relationships all the time, even if the woman is trying... fights happen, misunderstandings happen, feelings get hurt.. it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that they had a huge fight one day and the guy started getting into TRP in a rage, and that spiralled into the relationship getting worse and worse.
/r/TheRedPill27/07/16 09:00 PM

yeah and what does sexual strategy consist of? Not chasing after/whiteknighting women, focusing on bettering yourself, lifting to get a good physique, build a social circle and a career to increase your social status, and learn game to build attraction. Shut the fuck up, that's dumb as shit. Marriage counselling is all about one SJW meeting another SJW to determine what the man needs to do differently to please and appease the woman. That depends, not everyone is an SJW like you seem to believe,…

thats just how it works, game matters more than appearance for guys, if you were a painfully awkward or creepy dude that would be about the same as an ugly girl. unlike most women though we're usually at least courteous to the ugly girl

this, i find even the most interesting people run out of things to talk about if you are just sitting with them and chatting idly, usually my friendships are built with people who I DO things with, and share experiences rather than words. my favorite thing is when we are immersed in some interesting situation or activity and the conversations just flow naturally because they are a byproduct of what is happening around us etc.

i certainly hope so... but while its true that a lot of women are starting to earn more than their husbands these days, our society still expects men to show way more ambition. You'll see a lot of lower-earning men with higher-earning women but very few unemployed men with women of any kind

I agree, to a woman, virtue is whatever makes her feel good (hence surface level). If a mafia guy sweeps her off her feet, gives her a car and a mansion, she'll be forced to accept that as virtue. Same as in the past, if a tribe abducted her from her tribe and killed all their men, she'll be forced to assimilate and adopt the beliefs of that tribe as her own. For a guy, we make our own virtue, we have our own value system that is independent from that of society. We're always looking out for our…

yeah, its conditioning I think. women who were validated from a young age never developed that moral sense of how to treat people and don't understand the pain of rejection. But i'm fairly certain if you took the average guy (or average girl) and gave them the opportunities of a 10/10 girl, they'd still be able to act like fairly decent respectable human beings. I call it the moral window, of age 10-20, where after that age your morality becomes fixed
/r/PurplePillDebate16/07/16 10:08 PM

I don't think most men are necessarily virtuous. Especially in the hook-up and dating scenes, if you're just looking for a ONS or short-term relationship or FWB i'd argue most of the successful guys there are comparatively more likely to be sleazebags/assholes. Its not that guys need to be virtuous or moral, neither gender has to be virtuous or moral to get sex. Its that guys need to have their shit together, they need to put up this front of being aggressive, powerful, worthy of respect and com…
/r/PurplePillDebate16/07/16 10:03 PM

again, it depends on the situation. I think with these type of guys, they're not gonna make fun of a person just only based on the way they look, but only if they act conceited or entitled, which I do see from a lot of women who think they're the shit but don't look all that great. Some of these women think they're entitled to a Chad, which is why they are made fun of for their arrogance. Me personally, I'd never make fun of someone just on their appearance alone unless i felt like they had a su…

doesn't matter had sex.. (I'd say most guys would agree as long as the girl was attractive) And wouldn't it be more mean-spirited to tell the person and make them feel bad about themselves? If you lied to this person and made them feel good for a night, and they never found out what you really thought, isn't that better than hurting their feelings?
/r/PurplePillDebate16/07/16 12:53 AM
1

but being an asshole is so subjective... maybe if you took some time to get to know these guys you might realize they're not as bad as you think they are... why is it that speaking your mind about things automatically makes you an asshole? do we live in such a sensitive society that we judge and alienate people for their thoughts and beliefs?
/r/PurplePillDebate16/07/16 12:39 AM
1

true, but whether or not men and women say these things, they are still gonna think the same way and act accordingly. Our society does value appearance highly, and trying to suppress ourselves so that we're not honest about what we think is not going to help anybody. For instance girls aren't attracted to short or fat guys and guys are not attracted to fat or ugly women, thats just the way things are, even if nobody says it out loud, so what difference does it make
/r/PurplePillDebate16/07/16 12:36 AM

I think he means that you should carefully consider your options and realize that none of the advice out there is a fix-all for every problem... just as lifting more would help some people but not others, relaxing and being yourself would also work for some men more than others, it depends on each individual. Different guys are at different stages of development, and I'd put it as a hierarchy (in order of development stage) of: Lifting/Appearance/Social Skills > Social Network and Approach > Con…
/r/PurplePillDebate16/07/16 12:33 AM

You still don't understand, you can't just blanket apply advice to every guy... "just be yourself" works for some people who already have their shit together (aka decently fit, attractive and productive already, but perhaps just overthinking or overly neurotic, which turns most women off, not surprisingly). He's not arguing that being yourself would magically replace going to the gym and eating healthy..
/r/PurplePillDebate16/07/16 12:29 AM

It is terrible advice especially to men who are not attractive Did you not even read what he said earlier? I bolded the important part for ya, his point was you can't apply this advice to everyone, it only applies to people who are already attractive to begin with, but need to stop overthinking and boost up their self confidence. Obviously it doesn't work with a 30 YO neckbeard incel, and nobody is saying that it would work for that kind of guy. Different strokes for different folks right? I'm r…

thats because modern men have been conditioned by society to suppress any thoughts that go against the feminist imperative, because we're obviously supposed to always believe that every single woman out there is the epitome of beauty and it is blasphemy to suggest otherwise.. =.=

yeah i don't get some of these commenters.. basically all guys just HAVE to blurt out whatever is on their mind, or they are wrong for even judging on a woman's appearance even though women do it to men all the time and make fun of them for it behind their backs too, but somehow THAT'S ok?

i've heard women say things just as bad about men, its quite common, i mean how is landwhale worse than girls making fun of a guy for being a creep, being short, having a small dick, or balding etc? At least the women can lose weight. It probably happens just as often as most men's locker room talk, and i'm okay with it as long as they don't do it in front of the person

The end goal should be understanding every facet of the world that is relevant to your success/happiness in life. Once you develop an internally consistent, accurate worldview that can explain everything that happens to you in life, you will never be confused or lost, ever again, and you can continually better yourself and not get lost in pointless BS or foolish things. Great post!

this. people find it hard to separate immediate happiness from long-term happiness, I consider working hard to better myself as an investment for my future happiness-- when you become a badass that can handle whatever comes your way, be it financial or personal or emotional troubles and come out better for it, happiness will be infinite, but if you instead pursue instant happiness instead of cultivating your best self that happiness will never come

I disagree, Chad has a natural implicit understanding of the things that we have to consciously learn ourselves, because he has had way more experience since day one. We NEED things like logic and independence and stoicism to imitate the natural confidence that Chad has, in order to eventually gain enough experiences of our own to turn them into habits. Being alpha comes to Chad as easily as breathing air. We have to work for it to gain enough experience to eventually reach his level of mastery.

I disagree, imitation is the key to any type of improvement. How do you learn how to drive a car? You watch videos, you see how your instructor drives, you listen to advice from others and put it into practice, and only then do you understand why it works, over time. Same with social interaction and game. A large part of it is simply observing what it is that successful men do, and then trying it for yourself. Over time you figure out why it works the way it does, and then you've crossed over fr…

I actually think this is genuinely possible, the key is being observant, its only bad if you come across as needy, but if the girl genuinely appreciates your attention and doesn't take it for granted, then by all means I think you should keep doing it. All girls have a threshold to where they consider a guy to be too needy/clingy/annoying, it just depends on the girl what that threshold is. It goes without saying that usually the crazier or nastier the girl, the more that this threshold will flu…

Exactly!

I think men's type thinking was far more useful in hunter-gatherer times when instantaneous/instinctual reactions were important, and you didn't have much time to think. Whereas in our modern world contemplative thinking and reflection are useful tools for survival and success, and these are areas where women are generally equal to men. Its only when society breaks down in an emergency situation that the men re-emerge as more decisive.

I think you have a skewed view of what men do, most of the time we compete in non-violent ways just like women do, we just tend to be a bit more open/forthright about it.
