Bolsanaro was the US fault? Or were people looking at the failures of Rouseff/de Silva, the collapse of Venezuela under Maduro, and the outright duplicity of Correa and thinking they'd like to try something different?

Wars are a problem of empire, not capitalism. Soviet union started a lot of wars too before it failed. The prison population in the US is too high, but again, not really a failure of capitalism per se. I'm not a Trump supporter AT ALL but I have to give him credit for keeping the US out of further international entanglements and the prison reform bill. And while I don't support Trump I'll take his human rights record any day over those of the only remaining socialist nations.

Price controls in the Soviet Union were very effective. Political prisoners were very productive and only cost a few bowls of gruel a week. Problem solved and 60 million dead.

I think you could find a way to live outside of the BS if you really wanted. But very few of us actually want that. It would require one parent staying at home (no daycare), selling your suburban house and moving to a rural / exurban area (no mortgage), giving up your phone (yeah right), and probably a long commute or teleworking for the one working parent. Sounds beautiful in theory and ripe for picking up a meth habit in reality.

There's a pretty strong argument to be made that the modern two-income culture has brought us to this place. I'm not arguing that we as a society should go back, but it is a situation with a cause. Breaking out of it requires being countercultural in some way, which the vast majority of us, by definition, are not cut out for.

Harvey Weinstein was an executive who had power over the careers of the women he had sex with. This is a DJ at a radio station. The women were not from his workplace. And really, what is "sexual manipulation" in the first place? Sounds fun.

The guys at MRP will be much better for the self-improvement and RP awareness. I'm not convinced that it changes the long-term (think 5-10 years) trajectory of their marriage though. Honestly, women will only fall for the Jedi mind tricks for so long.

Basic redpill theory would say that no man, no matter how alpha, can ultimately overcome women's natural tendency for hypergamy, AWALT, etc. That's why hardcore reds say no marriage and LTR only with extreme caution and an understanding that it will probably end. MRP exists because marriage still exists. Those guys are fighting an uphill battle but are helped by tradition and what's left of the "enforced monogamy" of Western society. So you can be a tall, chiseled, seemingly dominant male. But t…

I have always been fit as an adult but didn't start lifting and paying attention to my diet until I became RP'd about a year ago. I look way better now than I did previously. It's simple stuff that everyone else is posting here, but it all adds up. I once heard it described that self-improvement is the collective effect of dozens of small changes rather than a single life-altering change. You already know what to do, what you require is motivation and patience. Last thing, men's SMV increases sl…

All true. But I think we have to understand the modern world as we are currently experiencing it as being the product of what you could call traditional interpretations of sexual/familial/societal dynamics. The world today is, for better or worse, the product of Western colonial and capitalist enterprises. I think the question is whether a society with a fully open SMP maintains this level of progress. Your point that this cycle typically results in problems that are solved through violence is a…

I'm torn on this one. OP is right, in a sense, and is expressing reality so it doesn't actually matter what my opinion is. BUT - show me a successful society that allows the SMP to run freely with 80% of the men being incels or cuckolds. It doesn't exist. Anthropologists always trot out these obscure bands of hunter gatherers that died out in 1912 but I don't think that's what we're shooting for.

Lose some weight, dress nice, smile, don't be a bitch, well maybe sometimes. That's literally all a woman needs to do to be attractive. They already know this. They're driven by something else.

In PUA circles this is called "abundance mentality" and is talked about to death there. And, yes, it is rated as a highly significant predictor of your success with women. In fact, most of the hard stuff PUA teaches is how to cringe-ily fake abundance mentality until you actually achieve it.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I have a PhD, have published dozens of articles and several long pieces, and work as a scholar. But there is no doubt that this business, while lucrative and intellectually stimulating, is NOT sexually attractive. If I expected to be, that would cause problems.

Men seeking damaged women is a hallmark of Nice Guy behavior. Essentially they are trying to find a woman that doesn't require constant guarding so they can regress into childlike blissfulness. Obviously, this does not work.

So 50/50 I guess means that you mow the lawn, take care of the landscaping, clean the garage, take care of the cars, replace or fix appliances when needed, paint rooms in the house, take care of investments, bills, taxes while he does the laundry, cooks, and straightens up the kids' rooms, right?

Of course I want emotional support ( and to be emotionally supportive!). Not true. It's been talked to death on this sub that men who show emotional weakness to their partner are soon given their walking papers. You don't want a manchild - meaning that you don't want to kiss your man's boo boos. I'm honestly not complaining, just acknowledging the reality and learning from my past mistakes.

Women don't want help with the laundry or the diapers. That shit is so easy that literally a 12 year old could do it. They want help with emotions and life direction. That's what a good husband provides.

It's my journey. How women act or how BP men act is 100% their call. I've simply gained a new understanding of my own masculinity, where it falls short, and some things I can do to counter that.

The flipside to guys thinking with their dicks is guys thinking with their grandparents sense of marital duties.

I think it's hard to categorize RP in our current political spectrum. RP ideas certainly make a good argument for WHY tradcon is preferable to both sexes. At the same time, most intermediate or advanced TRPers will acknowledge that tradcon is gone and they do better in the 21st century SMP in any case.

I'm still sticking with less access to personal credit as a way of fixing the SMP. Raising your SMV is expensive either directly or as missed financial/career/marital opportunities. To me, it's no coincidence that the personal savings rate and marriages are both in the toilet at the moment.

Look I know this is a hypothetical exercise, but I strongly contend that woman 1 just isn't a thing. Just because a woman is a 2 or 3 doesn't mean she won't test you or become unattracted to you. No matter what woman you have, a lack of frame will ruin the relationship.

J lived in the deep south for a few years and it seemed like basically all men were overweight (and a fair chunk of the women too). It was weird, but being in shape almost seemed like a liability. Even though I could beat these guys in most sports, including Holy Football, having an athletic build seemed like a feminine trait in that culture.

From WOTSM in Part 1 - All men are afraid, unless they are perfectly free. If you cannot admit this, you are pretending to yourself, and to others. Your friends will feel your fear, even if you do not. Thus, they will lose trust in you, knowing you are deluding yourself, lying to yourself, and are therefore likely to lie to them, consciously or unconsciously.

David Beckham was a legendary soccer player. You really think he didn't lift? I have a nephew that's semi-pro and he's ripped AF. Lifting is kind of about the physical aesthetics, but IMO more about discipline, facing fears, meeting other guys, and getting in touch with your own masculinity. This is why it is pushed by TRP.

As always, RP contains a spectrum of people with the largest gradient being where people are at in their RP progression. I think a lot of RPers show up leaning or fully Tradcon. I think this is partially genuine belief and partially an internalized defense mechanism as they realize they can't compete in the 21st century SMP. As men progress in their RP journey they either become a version of Chad or MGTOW. Either way, it becomes clear to them that Tradcons have lost and either they MGTOW or they…

RP would argue that Feminists & Sexual Liberation are the same people but that they use language tactfully depending upon the situation. So, a prudish Feminist only acts that way as a bitch shield and drops that shield in the presence of Chad.

My deepest understanding of TRP is that they are saying "you don't have to be Leonardo Di Caprio, you just have to be a little more like Leonardo Di Caprio".

Yeah, maybe it could work. And I do see this around me to some extent. Then again, the concept of family is something that has evolved over millennia.

I guess I'm conflating two things here. Involvement in a child's life by both parents is most certainly correlated to better outcomes for the child. It's true that an unmarried couple could still fulfill those roles, but practically speaking it just isn't as likely to work out as well.

TRP is a sexual strategy but it's one that requires a transformation. For those of us who found TRP later, and maybe for everyone on that sub, there's a lot of unlearning that needs to happen. So it inevitably touches on a broad swath of your psyche. Not to say that it is all true or to be followed, but looking at morality, duty, family, discipline etc through a Red Pill lens doesn't seem that strange to me.

Agree with most of this except "girls like guys who are humorous". I've read (will link if I find it) that girls find guys they are attracted to humorous, not vice versa. Sure, exceptions and all that, but in general humor, by itself, did not cause attraction. Rather, girls were more likely to find whatever inane bullshit the guy was saying to be funny if she already liked him. Besides, the humor girls like the best is light teasing and they do not like this if they are not attracted to you.

The reason nonmonogamous societies are unstable is that they create a large pool of easily provoked men who can be motivated to engage in violence or revolutionary activity. All it takes is the right leader to forge this group into a movement to upend the society. Think of Trump as an extremely incompetent version of this. If the current dynamic doesn't change, there will be more Trumps and one of them will be successful organizing younger, sexless, angry men.

This is blue pill thinking at its finest. The logical extension of this line of thought is that love and lust need to be separated. So the blue pilled guy thinks that they need to subjugate their desire to the supposedly higher purpose of love. They think that chasing nerdy girls and having long pointless conversations in coffee shops sets them apart from those very mean and toxic types who are in touch with their sexuality. As it turns out, women want men, not androgynous robots. And even if a …

We told ourselves that and it was bad advice. The problem is that most of us feel a jumble of shame around sexuality. a) that it is so primary to our consciousness and b) that we suck at obtaining it. So we bury the desire and tell ourselves we are the good ones and we're not like other guys and all that (sorry, just threw up in my mouth a little). TRP/manosphere exists to be honest about desire and the Nice Guy Syndrome. Guys that get stuck in the blame cycle don't progress.

Men need to listen to themselves. Telling them not to cry is just as manipulative as telling them to cry. They need to be in touch with their own consciousness and see what's there.

That's not quite right. Tell men to actually get in touch with their feelings. Including the absence of feelings. Tell them to look inside and see what is actually there. It's probably a lot more stoic and resilient than they think. In short, tell them it's okay not to cry.

Well, the rockin world has been goin' round. I knew there must be fat-bottomed girls somewhere.

So maybe a sort of half-monogamy entirely on women's terms. Sounds about like what we have.

No, that's true. Someone wouldn't send hundreds of thousands of cattle into unwinnable wars just to prove a point or because they couldn't admit they were wrong. Cattle are too valuable to be wasted like that.

So if women were treated as equals and allowed an expanded degree of autonomy it would seem to follow that monogamous relationships would thrive and women would rebel against the system that treated them like chattel to be bartered by powerful (high value) men. And yet here we are in 2019 with women initiating 70 percent (or more) of divorces.

We want them to bring us ice-cold cocktails in lingerie too.

In reference to a comment to OP. What is the thinking about home improvement / DIY projects and alpha /beta? Isn't this kind of caretaking beta behavior? Plus the home improvement kicks I've been on tend to be solitary affairs and hardly a way to instill a sense of your SMV in your wife. I'm interested because this is pertinent to my situation.

Some marriages stay together and other ones do not. If I've learned anything from my ordeal it's to never, ever judge another couple.

Thing is about a guy who is drunk and/or high all the time, especially one that is into video games, is that they are easy to manipulate. It's tough enough to have a job, kids, house, etc and keep track of everything going on. If you hamper yourself through escapist behaviors, you're sure to miss something. How she looks at other guys. Who she is texting with. The times she's out with friends and the story doesn't totally add up. When you've failed a shit test. The list goes on. Life is serious …

Mostly agree, but I'm dwelling on one statement that I think is central. You say "the Blue Pill mind automatically defaults to self-blame and looks to find ways to negotiate some kind of new work-program that will ‘fix’ the ‘broken’ relationship he somehow caused". It seems to me that Red Pill is fundamentally about taking responsibility for your actions. The difference between it and BP is in identifying which actions (behaviors, mindsets, beliefs) caused the split. The RP answer and BP answer …

We did okay during the phase you are describing. When we had trouble was almost exactly when our third kid turned 5. I naively thought we were heading back into something like normalcy and stuff 40-year olds worry about - like paying off credit cards and saving for college. That was when the Most Responsible Teenager really came out. Tough, tough year ensued. The bright side is that it eventually led me here. Unplugging, learning the ropes, some things have gotten better, others not. But I sense…

I unplugged about a month ago after a really shitty 18 months w my wife. I've listened to NMMNG twice during work commuting. Great book. Starting MMSLP this week.

My wife and I came close to marriage counseling on a few occasions, but I think the tiny part of me that wasn't completely plugged in prevented me from taking the leap. As I've begun unplugging, I sometimes think back to those days and wonder if the counselor would have pulled me into a separate room and said "Man, you need to grow a pair of testicles right now and stop listening to her ever-shifting set of issues. You be the steady one and observe her emotional writhing with a sympathetically a…

What's the current thinking on mono-creatine supplements prior to resistance workouts? Wasn't that touted as a testosterone booster a while back?

No shit. The blue-pill pop psychology that passes for marriage counseling all but ensures that your marriage erodes.

I would say debt - current or borrowed against your future security - is the primary way people pay for this. Income inequality doesn't help the situation, but wealthier folks don't seem to be immune to this reality.

My theory of everything is that weakening of marriage through the normalization of divorce and greater acceptance of nonmonogamous behavior is essential for consumer-driven capitalism to grow. When men are insecure, they spend to show social value and hopefully attract or retain their partner. If you are secure, you do what most of us view as being the right thing and save and invest for your and your family's future. This particularly unsexy activity leaves you wide open to cheating, hypergamic…

Good post and a nitpicking point. Say you are on the beta side of the spectrum and wish to improve your alpha "score". This requires mindful action and behaviors. I would argue that a large part of the conversation here assumes the possibility that you can alter your alpha/beta mix. So far so good. Where I get lost is in your Chad Thundercock example where beta intentions are masquerading as alpha actions. The desire to improve oneself seems to be construed as beta behavior in this example. Yet,…

Pain is undoubtedly part of the process. So is anger. View yourself as being on the journey that you are and you'll be fine.

I would entertain the notion that there may be a bit more to this story. Don't underestimate your uncle. Maybe some portion of his 14-hr "work" day was dedicated to, uh, nobler pursuits? He may have had more game than you were aware of. That said, the moral of the story is seared into my brain.
