totally. blackpillers and being terminally online go hand in hand. it's easy to extrapolate a toxic worldview when you intentionally limit your exposure to said world as much as possible

It simply did not mesh with my in person experience, and online behavior definitionally should take a backseat to what is personally observed. There's nothing people put at stake in online behavior the way they have to do it in person, so it's just worth less. And since red pill is terminally online, it lost by default.

That place helped deradicalize me, and I hadn't been there for several years (I don't remember it being nearly as bad 7 years ago when I was there) but it's a shame to hear what it ended up becoming.

Yeah, this sub is generally pretty reasonable and even handed (certainly infinitely more so than the red pillers) but it still has some kind of strange complex about age gaps. My gut feeling is that it's a wild overcorrection to the toxic beliefs of RP with regard to age.

I dated a woman 15 years younger once as she by her own admission had medical issues that were likely to significantly shorten her life expectancy and wanted to be able to have a similar life arc with someone without her own partner potentially significantly outliving her. It happens..Not as frequently as the RPers say it, nor as infrequently as this sub does. I have first hand experience through my job to know it's not really a freak occurrence though, and it's definitely more frequent than the…

TRP promises simple solutions to complex problems, a practice that never works but also allows for a lot of salesmanship to wallpaper over that fact.

It is a very real fantasy some women have, but the problem is extrapolating it to all women. The biggest flaw that these people have is treating women like a hive mind and presuming that it's some primal immutable desire.

I think anyone saying it always happens/never happens is trying to sell something or is responding to the people trying to sell something. In my experience, it does happen, and it happens enough to matter. Hell, my best friend is a trans woman and dating a woman like 12 years younger and it seems to be working okay. I've been rejected by someone 5 years younger and propositioned by someone 10 years younger a few weeks later. It's just not a sure fire thing. Your mileage will heavily vary.

Thats the thing about makeup in general - when it's applied well, you don't really notice it. Start subtle and work your way up. Also keep in mind to take photos of yourself six feet away because that's how people will see you. What you may see in the mirror may not be what other people see.

Depends what you want to do. If you want to look more masculine I'd suggest shading to enhance your jaw line, for one. If you look up makeup tutorials aimed at trans men they have a lot of hints aimed at that.

Ex redpiller here. Best advice is to understand that the asymmetric nature of men and women confers advantages and disadvantages to both that will never be made fully equal (though we can try to get as close as we can) and it's best to understand and support frustrations that women experience while also pushing for fairness for men's issues. Most online activism is unbalanced and focuses on one side or the other. Self-agency should be at the root of any legitimate movement.

I won't comment on the frequency, but how predatory can it be especially if you're both at least 21? When women do this they're called cougars and its generally seen as empowering, not predatory.

And don't forget makeup. Men gotta live with an ugly face, a lot of women's faces leave ugly territory through makeup. What's stopping you from wearing makeup? Do you honestly think men in movies, advertisements, etc. aren't wearing it too? Hell, I wear it. There isn't as much that applies to male fashion but a little concealer (and by extension, skin care) goes a long way.

Again, not really. 6 figures is nice but in a world where 50% women are doctors, more women are in CS and engineering and college is skewing towards majority women, coupled with the increase pressure from companies to hire women 6 figs is not as leverageable right now or in the future. This also is kind of silly; RP always bangs on this 80/20 rule but being in the top 9% of income somehow "isn't leverageable"

It’s about the same, and we see them as weathered too. Considering that men have thicker skin (by about 25%) due to the effect of testosterone.. no, it's not about the same

But we could also see this the other way: Most small men I know are single. I don't actually know a woman who is single, they can be fat, ugly or too skinny without any curve, they all find someone. This doesn't fly mathematically or logically over the whole SMP though.

Speaking for myself, there is a general baseline: I am generally happy being single. I am not optimally happy, but I am quite happy. I see little incentive to enter into a relationship with someone that reduces my quality of life, merely for the sake of having a relationship.

If you think that height alone is a golden ticket, well.. it isn't. I'm 6'3" and struggle just as much. But I think it's safe to say that any woman that "demands" 6 feet to the point of fetishization will easily manage to find some other fault with you, imagined or real, once that criteria is met.

It's ours to want. It's theirs to pick and choose. People only believe this because men tend to express their interest directly and overtly and women don't as much. If a woman gives you an IOI and you pass it up, you're rejecting her, just not as loudly.

As someone that lacks that same facial masculinity, I call BS I was bullied extremely hard in high school, even early 20s, but over time I learned how to carry myself, be aggressive at the right times (while never being overbearing) and being docile at the right times (while never being a doormat.) It's a balance that only life experience can teach you. Not bullied any longer, not an incel. But I still look like a damn kid.

So what do you do if you CAN'T fill that stereotypical masculine niche? If you have lower T, for example, you're going to have an uphill battle filling that masculine niche if your body type and face don't support it. RPers love to just say 'just be more masculine' but that isn't a panacea, nor is it always an option.

Cadence: It’s sad that it’s so true. To be honest, I don’t understand it. I don’t get it. Sex is sex. Of course, everybody wants it but guys want it more. Pussy power is because we run the show and decide whether you get it or not. While this is true, it's only true because men allow it to be true. Mastering your desire for sex means this power over you disappears. While I don't advocate that men become sexless eunuchs, the less you keep your sexual desire in check beyond a healthy level, the mo…

I'm a guy but have many extremely feminine traits (smooth skin, big eyes, full lips, total lack of body hair, slim wrists and small hands) I have a few counteracting masculine traits (6'2", deep voice, and I guess 2d:4d ratio if you want to count that) but on average I definitely look far more feminine than not. Upshot is that there are some women that are extremely unattracted to me because of it, and some that are extremely attracted. It's polarizing to be sure; I don't think you're going to g…

Except that not a lot of men are "very attractive" in their early 20s. In fact, I'd say a small proportion of us are. A lot of us did stupid shit, didn't know how to apply ourselves, didn't have money, life experience, or specialized skills, and if we aren't born into wealth, affording top-tier clothes and grooming just isn't happening. The "very attractive man" that hits every single category: looks, money, strong character and social skills is extremely rare in the early 20s, while very attrac…

Most of the LCS players(professional league players) are ugly or out of shape or already balding at the age of 20 Most? I dunno, only a few are really obviously fat (Steak?

I'm a straight guy, personally - or at least I identify as straight publicly, even though I do like guys - it's just the swath of guys I'm interested in is like 5% or less compared to the number of women I like. Of course, given my interests (I'm a HUGE cosplayer, for example) most people just assume I'm gay off the bat without even looking into it. I will admit that it even having the perception of being gay has made dating very challenging.

One of the gayest guys I know is a huge bodybuilder, manly deep voice, awesome beard. Assuming your experience alone can fully account for something as varied as human sexuality is a dangerous thought. It's a big world out there.

That's totally your right to have that preference, but I want to get out there that masculinity and sexual orientation shouldn't be corralled so closely. There are lots of super manly gay/bi guys, and also very feminine straight guys. Assuming a guy is less manly for being gay is missing the forest for the trees.

Honestly, the best way to handle LMR safely is just tell them to split. Or leave, if you're at their place. If they truly didn't want it, you're respecting consent boundaries and putting yourself in a safe position. If they truly want it, they won't let the opportunity slip away and will come around in pretty short order once they see that you're calling their bluff. If they're a headcase and using it as a manipulation tactic, you want none of that, either way, and you maintain your self-respect…

It has to do with knowing the ways that women and men are wired - knowing that each gender has their own goals in mind when it comes to sex, relationships, etc. This is where "AWALT" or "AMALT" comes in.

All women are like that, however not all women ACT like that. This is a distinction that is incredibly important, but often goes ignored in RP circles. Men and women alike are perfectly capable of acting in a way not conformant with their lizard brain, especially when it comes to treatng other people well - it's called personal integrity.

As someone actually in that age range (33) I'd say the chart is more truth than fiction. The last girl I dated was 25 and picking her up was pretty effortless, our first date was a Starbucks date. It didn't exactly take $100 dinners to get her attention. I've had girls as young as 16 express an interest in me too, not that I act on them. Granted I have an extremely young, boy-bandish face (not necessary attractive looking, just young). YMMV though.

The thought that men will stop loving us when we get older is a very threatening idea. The real advice is to learn when your windows of opportunity are and then act, and also realize that it's not the same for both genders. Men experience the same dissonance in their teens and early 20s. I didn't experience true success until my late 20s, personally.

Skin is the #1 factor I think. Avoiding sun exposure is paramount. Skin care regimens are important. Sleep is important. Hydration, exercise (and not just lifting, cardio flushes things in ways lifting won't).

I've never met someone that I would consider decently strong (6 plate DL at least) that got there through "alpha genes" and no gym work.

I know a guy with really far above average T - amazing beard and hair, 6 ft 3, early 20s, deep as hell voice and when he started he could only bench the bar. Doesn't matter what your T is, "natural strength" without work is an oxymoron.

I'm a male cosplayer. I play mostly male characters but I have done some crossplay, where I learned how to wear makeup.

When it comes time to seek an LTR he should focus on women between 1 to 3 years younger and about 1 point below him in SMV. This statement always mystifies me It's saying "I'm interested in the relationship that offers the most to women so I'm going to aim lower than my market value."

As someone that's around both teenage girls and adult women quite a lot, that's the biggest hunk of bullshit I've ever heard.

Even average men can do some things really well and work their angles. Being "average" doesn't mean you're doomed to not be a master of anything

Agreed, as someone that tends to get a decent chunk of likes on his posts (~50+ fairly regularly), it really is pretty meaningless. Not as much as 300 or whatever, sure, but I can't imagine there's a breakpoint where that number suddenly means anything worth a shit.

Treat people well and you'll get treated well in return. Take an interest in them. Develop connections. You'll get help in return. RP nihilism is off the mark here. I'm normally a pretty stoic guy but I turned to Facebook or some help during a really tough last few days with a serious problem, despite my RP instincts telling me to stay away, and I had like 25+ responses offering advice, from both men and women. And a lot of it was really sound. It isn't a hot chick thing. It's a social connectio…

This is one of TRP's biggest flaws - it sees everything in absolutes.. much like radical feminism.

Rp should advise men to become criminals, musicians, politicians, i-bankers, sports stars, artists, and/or famous. Only something like the top .1% in most of these groups, especially in sports, art, and music get big money and not a lot more get enough money to compete with a STEM career as it stands. This isn't viable for a massive chunk of your audience.

No matter how much you wish it wasn't, reality doesn't fare well for you. Women are always more attractive than men, no matter the age or weight. You have precisely one note and you just keep banging on it for all it's worth. Both men AND women are capable of maintaining themselves incredibly well into their 30s and 40s and possibly even beyond but it requires investment, discipline, and vigilance, virtues that are pretty well lacking in both genders these days.

the women were smart, sane, caring, but not pretty at all. This goes for women and men equally - I don't really get the idea that all these things need to be mutually exclusive. You can be smart, sane, caring, and still find time to invest in your appearance. But the opposite happens, so many folks just don't give a shit and try to compensate with the smart, sane, and caring and it just doesn't work well.

Why not both? I'm a member of a very non-conformist subculture that I am very public about being in, and yet I can play just as well in a button-down corporate mainstream culture that I've also been performing well in. I have no doubt that you have to gain social points in each circle separately, but IME, being in a nonconformist circle doesn't preclude you from moving up in a mainstream circle, as long as you can play by the rules in each - i.e. face tattoos might make you look like a badass in…

http://www.webmd.com/men/features/skin-care-its-not-just-for-women As a result, men's skin is on average 20% to 30% thicker than women's skin, Tung says. And thicker skin does a better job of resisting wrinkles.

I disagree, at least in one regard - men's skin is thicker, which means it holds up better against age.

It depends. I think talents and accomplishments are a factor in finding women attractive, but only in specific realms. Personally, my interest is piqued by women that are good artists, or good singers, or good at some craft. Not because it's attractive sexually per se, but because it suggests discipline and effort beyond what's needed to sustain themselves in a career. I think all other things being equal it can add a point or two. It won't help them if they're obese or something, but it's defin…

I'd say most men have a similar decline, left to their own devices. Men aren't immune simply for being men. Most men get out of shape, their diet sucks, they don't lift, their T drops like a stone. Again, I totally support TRP in that saying great effort bring great results, I'm also just saying that it's not something exclusive to men.

Not for having kids, granted, but she still looks significantly better than the "average" 30 year old. I'm using this as a distaff counterpart to the "attractive older man" that TRP supports.

I agree that there are a lot of bad apples in both genders, but the problem is that there is a huge disparity in what each gender gets out of marriage. When you're essentially shaming folks getting the bum end of a stick into an agreement because it's what "real men do" it strikes me as a little exploitative. And FYI: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/No_True_Scotsman

It's why I chose to take my leave of the sub. I posted quite a bit under a different account when it was around ~2k subs and it was still a growing community. Controversial ideas were debated, not deleted; now they've become as bad as any number of feminist subs that partake in the same kind of censorship.

I'm curious as to why a MGTOW that eschews relationships is seen as in control and secure and smart for avoiding what is he feels is a raw deal for him, but when a woman does the same thing she is a "crazy cat lady" or "spinster".

Especially considering having a tenth of that puts you in the top 5%, which should be enough wiggle room, yes? This is the thing I've noticed with extreme schools of thought, and both pills are guilty of it - you get something that might have a grain of truth (80/20) and every time it gets repeated it creeps further and further towards the extreme until you get ludicrous statements like that one.

"Be yourself" is code for "figure it out". It leads to problems no matter which gender it's spoken to because it's awful advice. It says absolutely nothing, and I'm pretty sure the person was already BEING themselves before someone gave them that useful little gem.

"Physical prime" - two things about that. a.)

Even if dudes in their 20s can POTENTIALLY achieve greater physical prowess than than someone in their 30s or 40s, and this I don't dispute, it's a very thin edge to exploit.
