I second this from my own experience. And in addition, I know someone who went through the exact same as OP. When they met in person the chemistry was strange and the one year long romance ended abruptly.

I find what you say about your ability to read people very interesting, because that's exactly where I lack l, to the extent that it is an autistic trait. I wouldn't be surprised if that applies to lot's of PUAs as well. That could also explain the drive to master social interactions with women by remembering a thousand little rules until it comes naturally. My success with women only kicked in after I taught myself to understand male-female social dynamics better by consuming and discussing lot…

The "90 percentage of everything is shit" rule applies. Much PUA content is cringe, but there is a solid core. I've been part of that world for some years now and that PUA stuff works. It only works though if you're capable of thinking for yourself, and don't just follow blindly all advice that's out there. You have to do the mental work yourself to understand the subtleties of picking up chicks, and most people that get into PUA are just not driven enough or capable enough to do this. So PUA is…

Stoicism's motto is "live according to nature", meaning "learn to see reality as it is and live accordingly". This is essentially the "taking the red pill" metaphor from the matrix. At TRP we aim to see female nature as it is, in order to "live according to female nature". That means to recognize it and adjust your life accordingly. Stoicism also leads us out of the red pill rage phase: by accepting the world as it is, we see that our frustrations were baseless to begin with, originating from th…

Yep this. Even my mom told me that every woman she knows ended it because she was "just not happy anymore" or wanted to do better, and that doing everything right will not help you as a man. That's what you have to expect.

Agree. When women are demonized here, it is often forgotten that there are just as many men that are complete morons and assholes. Thus, it's best to just cut through all the red pill rage clutter and remember 3 facts: Divorce law is brutal. Half of all marriages end. And for those that are not married: half of all dads in the UK don't live with their children anymore by the time they turned 18. 80% of all marriages are ended by the woman. Facts and very simple statistics like the ones above don…

Sorry but that's cringy and here's why: The text reads as if you're trying to teach women a lesson. Also, it reads as if you give too much of a shit what women think of you. Both these things make you look insecure. What is the goal you're trying to achieve? Getting sex, getting a relationship? If it's about sex, then this text will make it impossible to get laid. Same for a relationship. Or is your intention to use this text to find a woman that understands you? That's blue pill - good luck.

Agree. I'm 29, had two long relationships, had lot's of casual sex while I was single, get with the women I want. My relationships were always great, until I was left or cheated on.

Every girl that cheated on their partner with me told me that they love him very much. Never heard any of the cheating women complain about their partners. Now when I'm starting to see a girl and she says "I love my boyfriend/fiance very much" I rub my hands because I know she's already thinking of cheating.

A friend of mine is a millionaire while his wife is a stay at home mom. I'm finishing my PhD, but my exes have all been waitresses without a degree when I got together with them. This is not uncommon. Men are wired a little differently. Ideally a women is of the same social class, but men are often willing to compromise.

👏👏👏 good use of the red pill is to better understand human sexuality and what to expect from the opposite sex to get what you want. Only you can decide what's right for you. It's possible to be red pilled and have nuanced opinions^

Good point: Men have a feminine side and women have a masculine side, and that's great. Yeah, I also often wonder if those who shout "I don't need a man" or "I don't need a woman" actually mean it, or if they are foremost trying to convince themselves when they say it. My theory is that people are in general not very good at comprehending their needs.

Additional note: Being seen and heard is a human need. It gets fulfilled when our partner asks us in the evening "how was your day" and listens to all the mundane details of your experiences and thoughts. It makes one feel as if one's existence matters. A man cannot get this from his friends, but a woman can give that to him. It's definitely more valuable than sex. A man's friends can also not hold him thighly or cuddle. We have a (varying) need for touch. All of this strongly improves a man's w…

Reasons for a man to want a woman: To not be lonely, to be seen and heard, to be in good company, to have someone that cares about you, to have someone to celebrate your achievements with. It feels so incredibly good to share a life with someone. Many men are lonely and long for an 'emotional home', no matter if they are high value or not. No one likes to admit that because it makes one vulnerable. Source: I'm a man, I know other men, and I have spent many years in cohabitation with my previous …

If she's willing to cheat with you, then she's willing to cheat in general. If she's generally willing to cheat, then the husband's heart break is guaranteed to happen at some point. Hence, it makes no difference if you sleep with his wife or not. You're actually helping to speed up the process.

There's lust and there's beauty. Lust is ugly, and will give you a quick dopamine hit. Beauty makes you happy. Eating a BigTastyBacon at McDonald's is lust, and so is visiting prostitutes. Preparing a tasty meal with friends is beauty, and so is love. People often fail to realize that beauty is a human need as well. That's why i only live in old European cities and spend a lot of time in nature.

It could make a difference if you are in a mixed team vs an all female team. Perhaps the described problems occur in teams that are 90% female.

When women orgasm, they produce an extra load of oxytocin, which makes them emotionally bond. When men orgasm, they release prolactin, which makes then pull away and uninterested in intimacy for some time. This is the scientific explanation for the observed difference between men and women.

Greatest Benefit: having some peace of mind from knowing that my life is in my own hands. I don't have to plan my life around another person or take anyone's feelings into consideration. To go your own way means to have absolute freedom. Doesn't mean you have to stop seeing women, just that you grow a spine and don't ever bend over.

Pro tip: commit yourself fully to a challenging task (e.g. graduating top of your class in university). The constant stress will keep your cortisol blood levels high. Cortisol directly reduces testosterone. The result will be that you are less horny and at the same time achieve more in your life. Push yourself further to get a somewhat less sleep than you need. Being tired in combination with exhaustion from stress is the best libido killer out there. Keep jerking off to give your new asexual li…

It shouldn't come to anyone's suprise that you can use (red pill) knowledge about women to your advantage. That being said, fucking different women will not make you happi…

You ask: if MGTOW is a personal choice, why the anger then? You're right in saying it is a personal choice, but some of us are rather angry at the options themselves: 1. A failing relationship, since monogamy is dead or 2. going your own way. Both of them are not great, but MGTOW is the lesser evil. The next step then is to accept the world as it is and fully embrace your choice, which takes some time and work. Meanwhile, the posts with a "negative vibe" about women also serve to remind us why w…

I don't think anybody here is "blaming women". Instead, we recognize that the sexual liberation of women has lead to the downfall of culturally enforced monogamy. That's a subtle difference. When men recognize this they go through what we call the "red pill rage" phase, which is a normal emotional reaction. A lot of men then resort to venting, and some may indeed resort to the kind of blaming you are referring too. However, I would say that is not in the spirit of MGTOW, because one can't blame …

Culturally enforced monogamy has been a social contract between men to equally distribute the means of reproduction, as otherwise 80% of men would go without women. I think that's even a widely held believe among scholars, and it makes perfect sense to too.

Thanks, your response really made me think. As someone in the Jordan Peterson camp, I realized that maybe he is just partly right and has overlooked something. Here is my little epiphany: Jordan Peterson says you require a purpose to make the suffering in life worthwhile, and purpose comes from responsibility.

50% divorce rate is measured after 10-15 years. Divorces after 20 or 30 years are not even captured by the 50% divorce statistic. Plus, more and more people are having kids without being married. Those relationships all end too at some point, and these separations are not captured by the 50% divorce statistic either. If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say 95% of all relationships that are supposed to be life-long fail.

She's cheating. Promiscuity generally makes men more attractive. While most men don't want to partner with promiscuous women (i strongly believe that is men's biological wiring). There seems to be evidence that promiscuity only decreases the pair bonding ability for women. She's cheating. Taken that aside, I think there's nothing wrong with women being promiscuous in general. It's just that I (and most men) cannot be romantically attracted to them, which isn't a problem when you go your own way …

Last time I checked there are no legal consequences to tricking a man into pregnancy, because punishing the women would not be in the best interest of the child. Imagine a mother with a newborn in jail, or being financially crippled by a huge fine. Always use a condom or avoid women all together.

I've seen it. Can confirm. Those female nurses were harpies, but for some reason all the male nurses were nice. In an interview, Yuval Harari (quite well known intellectual) was asked if women have better social skills. He said it depends: men actually have the social skills needed for work. I think the reason is that men automatically form a hierarchy and accept their place in it (Jordan Peterson). That's why men can cooperate without conflict.

I think he's actually pretty red pill. He often says that culturally enforced monogamy developed in the first place to keep societies stable, because otherwise men check out of the system. I think he hasn't made the mental connection to mgtow yet because he simply doesn't know much about mgtow.

Intimacy is when you feel seen and understood by a loved person, and you are close, emotionally and physically, like you are with no one else. You can be completely yourself and feel accepted for that. You are each other's priority and there are very personal things that are exclusive to you and her (your bodies, your feelings, the life you have together). You feel safe because you know the person will not abandon you. It's the feeling you have when you and your longtime girlfriend fall asleep i…
