There is a "new masculinity" wherein women & betas re-label traditional markers of male success as "sexist" or "divisive". It's a comforting mechanism by which losers will try to redefine failure as success and success as wrong.

"Ted" just got crushed in this article.

This chic has some serious balls. To summarize her article: Alphas pound me. Betas (like Ted) have the pleasure of keeping me company because I am soooooooo AWESOME!

To "Ted" be patient. In 5 years you will run into her at some bar, take one look at her, and say "yikes, I was in love with that wrinkled up, dry, used up, out of shape, smoke smelling woman".

Ted, you are free. Now go out and enjoy your god given right to be a man.

[–]EndoScorpion 42 points43 points44 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

I don't think the change happens in one day. Ted needs the red pill, he needs to be more alpha. Also, he's gotta learn to NOT be friends with girls he wants to bang.

I read TRP for fun every now and then. I feel like a lot of things on here are complete bullshit but this one is the fucking truth. One of the very first things I told my girl was I don't want to be just friends. If that's all you're looking for I'm going to go ahead and talk to another girl now. Let me know. See ya. Worked out in my favor in the end. NEVER be friends with a girl you're trying to get with. The percentages of happy endings in that situation are absolutely dismal.

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points22 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Except Ted won't learn. He will continue to try and win women by being a friend. The 'friendzone' is more than half the fault of soft men who come to expect sex for friendliness without actually making a move.

[–]jeebusthecat 11 points12 points13 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

What makes you say that? Almost everyone here has been through that. It's pretty much a universal human experience. So few men are naturals.

Maybe that was the last straw for Ted.

[–]1PaulRivers10 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Maybe that was the last straw for Ted.

Yeah, and you know what? THIS is why she's being a jerk herself. She wants him to not learn from this, and to not realize what happened.

The thing is - she is going to do the exact same thing to him later on. It's happened to me many, many times, before I finally realized what was going on. Whenever things with her and the new guy finally get serious, she will do this exact same thing to her old beta guy friend. Suddenly she'll be getting mad at him for no reason, looking for a reason to end their friendship. She'll drift off and stop returning his calls. Or she'll just become so uninteresting to hang out with that there's really no reason to hang out any more, they'll try but both eventually realize it's not interesting.

Her whole thing - other problems aside - is basically "here's why I want you to stick around until I'm totally comfortable with dissolving our friendship on my terms and my timeline".

[–]semigod__ 90 points91 points92 points 12 years ago* (11 children) | Copy Link

If she falls on her face in love, she will turn to you, because she credits you as reliable and trustworthy.

its funny when you read it with a TRP mindset, the sentence sounds like this :

"When her exciting alpha fling dumps her, she will turn to you, because you are the boring beta provider who will always be there for her, even after she has been pumped and dumped dozens of times."

[–]Badhesive 11 points12 points13 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Not to mention if Ted or the beta brings a girl he is interested around her, she will get all flirty with him and catty with the other girl. It's not even just friend zones, girls that I used to fuck or made out with but decided it wasn't worth it, they always try to be flirty with me in front of a girl I'm actually interested in, I love the look on their faces when I redirect that sexual tension to the girl I'm actually interested in. It's killing two birds with one stone, a. I turn down a girl in public who is literally attempting to gain some sort of social control over me and b. I use the jealousy and tension the ex-girl brought to the table and redirect it to make the girl I'm interested in feel like she's won the catscrap for my affections, which generally turns her on and gives her more of a reason to make out in public.

[–]Wee_Denny 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

YES

reliable and trustworthy ≠ wet pussy waiting to get fucked

reliable and trustworthy = a good pal!

Learn your fucking roles guys. Most women were not meant to be real friends of men. Some are (The more masculine, don't give a fuck types), but most are not like this. It's just the way evolution made us.

You can always trust a woman to be a woman. Trust her to think through emotion, not logic and reasoning. Again, not ALL woman are like this. Most are probably in a grey area, leaning toward acting through emotion.

[–]1PaulRivers10 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I really prefer the Athol K model - you always need to have more alpha accumulated than beta, but they're both important for a long term relationship. Some girls only like alpha, but most that enjoy a relationship like a fair amount of beta, as long it's not more beta than alpha.

I'm not going to un-justify your lifestyle by saying you should man up and only act through rigid logic. Do what makes you happiest. Are you happy now being emotional and reactive to everything? Yes? Awesome, do what you like. No? Change the way you act. It's not as easy as it sounds. It requires constant self-reinforcement and discipline. But it's worth it.

Yes, we’ve disregarded you as a romantic counterpart in our lives. But what was truly so terrible about this?

What a selfish retard. This is ridiculous.

[–]1thedangerboy 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

you do the same in a situation where a potential win is on the horizon: i.e., when you see a girl who’s DTF and texting you drunk as shit on a Friday saying she wants to come over

Because of the pussy that you might have a possibility, however small and unlikely, will be worth it, especially after 1000 uses. You should be so attracted to me!

[–]PictureTraveller 58 points59 points60 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

meanwhile if "Ted" ends up fucking a girl hotter than her she'd probably instantly try to destroy his relationship and make him cheat because she'd realise "I love him". If he stays firm with that new girl she'd try doing emotional blackmail and throw out ultimatums, stating it's insane for him to stay with that new girl when he could be in a couple with his "best friend", and concluding they probably aren't that close if he'd rather stay with a "skank" than her. (or some permutations of that)

[–]d3gu 21 points22 points23 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Haha, totally true. She'd probably write an article like, 'OMG Ted I thought you respected women but you're just USING her as an OBJECT', or if he actually likes the girl, 'see how quickly he changes his affection lol'.

The author is probably one of those horrible women who 'pities' less attractive women (but is nice to them because 'they're good people, really') and slags off more attractive women as 'sluts', unless they're rich/famous in which case she worships them.

RUN, TED, RUN! Keep running!

Ya know, at first I was a bit rustled by this article as well, but then I realized it had a happy ending; Ted moved on with his life. He stopped orbiting, stopped feeding her ego, sacked up, and went his own way, while his former "friend" wrote a horribly written essay about how he hasn't gotten over her properly. I count this as a win in my book guys.

[–][deleted] 30 points31 points32 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

The sad thing is, my behavior was identical to "Ted" a year ago; it's disgusting how pathetic I used to be when I look back.

Also, seeing the exact same scenario, one that I thought happened only to me, keep occurring with such startling and predictable regularity in social interactions, helps maintain my current frame and new found knowledge.

If you're not a natural alpha, it's so easy to get complacent and get sucked back into the old mode. I'm just so glad I found this community.

I like how she says he's the bitch for ignoring her incessant texts and messages.

She's the one who just takes, takes, and takes while doing nothing for him and she has the nerve to call him "childish".

[–]anotherthrowawaybiff 14 points15 points16 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Women often have no clue how exhausting they can be as friends. Male friends are completely low maintenance. You get together to do fun stuff, the end. Female friends ask for favors constantly, must "touch base" with you constantly, want to tell you every detail of their every day, etc. It's fucking tiring. If I get together with a male friend, we're going to hit a movie or an event, and he's not going to insist that I listen to him gripe about his job for two hours at every get-together. I know this sounds sexist and all, but damn, it's true. There are some good female friends out there, but they're hard to find, and you always have to maintain strong boundaries (Never, ever, ever "just run an errand" for her, for instance).

Also, the drama factor. Get busy and don't see your male friend for six months? Totally OK. Extra beers when you do get together. Same thing with a woman? By week two, she's completely pissed at you for "ignoring her" and you're getting messages demanding to know why you don't talk to her like you used to. By the same six months, she hates you and has told all her friends that you're an asshole.

I usually point this out to girls when they text me and blame it on me for not answering.

"Why aren't you answering?"

"Wth why won't you answer my calls"

"You are "something something offensive" "

Me: "Well if I'm such a "X" why do you keep texting me?"

I wrote this as a stand-alone comment but I feel that it is not well served at the bottom of a 170 comment tower where few will have the pleasure to engorge them-selfs on my thoughts, so I'll shamelessly put it here:

Well that was quite a solipsistic rant but then again that was to be expected.

I do however find my self in the awkward position of agreeing with the sentiment of the female commentors. Hold your pitchforks please. This is not a bridge and I am not a troll. Remember, these girls know exactly what Ms. Kimrie Pham is talking about and have no idea why Mr. Ted is upset (Solipsism is one helloffa drug) and, if I am not mistaken, agree with the sentiment of Ms. Pham, that their relationship was "total win-win situation for us!". Never once having even thought about "Ted's" reason for the friendship. So we would do well to avoid that trap our selfs and step out of our own bubble of solipsism into the harsh glare of reality.

Now on to the part of this musing where I agree with the genetically over-burdened sex. "Ted" is wrong to be angry at Ms. Pham. When you get down to it, his anger, however genuine, is misplaced (through no fault of his own however). "Ted" has been sold a bill of goods that does not stand up to it's advertised value or function. He engaged in a transaction thinking he was buying a dog but getting a cat. He bought into societies contract with men: "Be loyal and valuable and you will get the girl who will value and respect you." Maybe so in decades past but this is the age of the slut-walk, feminism, jezzibel and facebook. Women have discarded their societal shackles and gotten shaming declared a hate-crime while men are only now discovering that they are bound.

But i digress. "Ted" is mistakenly directing his anger toward the object of his affection because he never took the time to verify the contracts authenticity. He negotiated with a third-party and then expected the deal to be honored by the unsuspecting Ms. Pham. She being a woman of some beauty seems to be unable to fathom that men do not approach the world like she does an ignorance of reality that "Ted" seems likewise oblivious to, leaving both parties unsatisfied with the whole situation. What is the moral of my musings you ask? Well:

You don't get mad at a dog for eating your steak, you don't get mad at a girl for friend-zoning you. It is up to you to make sure that your steak stays uneaten and your orbit is only around the sun.

With the continued growth of our fledgeling community I am optimistic that we shall have fewer "Ted's" and perhaps even fewer Ms. Phams

Good day Gentlemen.

edit: something occurred to me, if the Gentleman in question isn't named Ted then perhaps her subconscious equates him with his namesake of the Moseby clan.

[–]da-way 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That is indeed true, but only half true.

The thrust of my point is that both I and "Ted" have been misinformed by the ever frustrating entity we call "society". And so my thoughts indicate a need for education, of understanding and of truth.

That is indeed what I see the role of the pill rouge being. A sanctuary of education and of honesty. So to sum up, "Ted" better wake up and smell the coffee should he want the pleasure of a woman's embrace and truly it is only through his unskilled and misguided actions that he has not yet secured them. But, and but and but, "Ted's" ignorance of the rules of engagement is only a symptom of the real problem. The problem of dishonesty and outdated models of reality being taught to young men.

A final thought: "Were all men red pill then all women would be so as well."

And with that I needs must be off.

She lists a lot of things that he does for her and lists nothing that she does for him. It still amazes me how one sided the friendzone is. I think that the friendzone exists because women know that men make much better friends than women. The author of this even realizes this when she says "And let’s not forget, who didn’t have a vagina, so who was also drama-and-headache free for the most part?" We give friendship without all of the garbage that women's hormonal rollercoaster brings in. A guy friend is like a stack of gold to a woman.

Women have almost nothing to offer men in the nature of friendship. I have never had a woman tell me a funny or interesting story. If I was ever in a situation that I needed a friend for some reason I've never called a woman. In my experience they are friendship sponges. They soak it all up and give none back.

And as this post points out the worst way to go for a girlfriend is to go the friendship route. They suck at being friends and will just confuse and use you. If you use the "I'm so nice" technique prepare to fail.

You can get a girl to like you, even if you're in her friendzone. The trick is to never, ever demonstrate that you're attracted to her. That will absolutely kill her, because she'll assume that's the reason you entered her friendzone in the first place.

[–]albundy12345 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Serious question... How do you balance the idea of never demonstrating that you're attracted to her with what /u/WhiteE350 said? "The single best thing I ever said to a really hot girl that had me in the friendzone, the truth I want to fuck you and if we cant do that we can't be friends because thats always what's on my mind. We went straight to a hotel and fucked all night."

[–]Endorsed Contributorgekkozorz 6 points7 points8 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Good question. I think what this really demonstrates is that leaving the friendzone requires an all-or-nothing approach.

You can either get straight to the point and say "I don't actually want to be your friend, I just want to fuck you," or you can take the long route and be her friend, but never demonstrate romantic desires. It's the same result, but there's two different ways to get there.

The former category requires you to be blunt and direct, and will only work if you're not romantic and whiny about it. Eg, "but I just love you so much, and I can't live any more knowing I can't have you!" That's the kind of beta bullshit which ensures eternal orbiter status. If you're forward and to-the-point about it, however, that can be seen as alpha and result in a proper payout, as it was to WhiteE350.

The second category might work better if the girl isn't already attracted to you. You might be able to build up her attraction by simply being 100% friend, 0% percent attracted to her. She'll find that lack of attraction frustrating, and she'll do whatever it takes to earn it, putting you in a unique position of power. You can eventually start giving her your attraction in small rations, but only when she earns it. What you've essentially done is created a monopoly where you've got the supply of a commodity she needs really bad, and that gives you a lot of market power.

It depends on the situation, I guess.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Simple. Still be a friend but blow her off. "Sorry, can't hang out tonight. I have a date. Want to chill later this week?"

I used to pine after one of my "friends" but she friend zoned me pretty bad...once I stopped trying to stroke her ego and tell her how much I liked her she came onto me one night while drinking and I fucked her brains out. And have a handful of times since then. After that first time we fucked I was always cool around her and I actually like her as a person now too. We're pretty much the truest definition of "friends with benefits". We can go out to dinner together, one will usually pay for the other or we'll go dutch, whatever, and we both have a great time. If one of us meets someone new, we're still friends.

The behavior and response patterns are all consistent. The difference is the ease in gaming, in my experience. They are not as attractive as white women.

I've never been able to depend on a female for anything meaningful. Not even my mother. I love my gf but I wouldn't put my life in her hands. Not because I'm not important to her but because females are hardwired to just not think things through.

[–]Meglomaniac 17 points18 points19 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Honestly, some women can be friends. You just need to be clear and upfront, basically treat her like a man. if sex is off the table, then treat her like any other one of your friends.

If you need something, ask. If she doesnt help you, remember it.

I have a female friend who I was friendzoned in, but have since accepted the platonicness of our friendship and have moved on to fuck other girls. She is one of my better friends, we can talk about redpill shit and I make fun of her boyfriend.

I got arrested a year or so ago, and I had to move out of my apartment the next day. She hammered all her friends, found me a truck and a few people to help me move, and was very helpful.

Not all girls are assholes who take take take.

[–]1 Endorsed Contributormordanus 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I think that men make better friends though. If I need a friend (someone who I can count on to be there for me, to have my back in a fight, help me move, give insightful advice, etc) I am going to turn to a man because in my experience women make inferior friends. The only reason I can see for making a woman my friend over a man is for a particular angle on a wingman.

I get that you have a female friend that seems to be genuinely cool, but I think that she is a rare exception and not the norm. When most people are having trouble most women offer emotional support but rarely do anything to help you alleviate your problems.

[–]TRP VanguardVZPurp 14 points15 points16 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Of course they do. Even women know that men make better friends. That's why losing orbiters and betas triggers this sort of seething response. The girl in question is losing something substantial.

[–]agarmend 9 points10 points11 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Well... I do have a very good female friend. She DOES make me laugh legitimately on a daily basis, and she does a lot of things for me (including picking up the tab at least 50% of the time or more). HOWEVER, we dated about five years ago and had a sexual relationship for a while. I guess that plays a big part on the friendship working for us. The sexual tension is not there anymore because "been there, done that". We just kept the cool friendship side of things, and to me it's great to have a female perspective on things once in a while. But of course, this is the exception to the rule. I am 44 and I have only been able to make it work this instance.

That was my point. Women don't make good friends. So why would I go and search for those diamonds in the rough just to prove that there are a few women worth having as friends? As for your female friends being witty I just think that you need to find some funnier male friends. Go do a google search of best comedians and the list is going to be almost all male. Being witty is what we do as a gender.

[–]Hereletmegooglethat 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I don't think that's because we're genetically predisposed to being witty, it's solely because, as men, we are more reliant on a solid personality. Making us more likely to be witty as that's what is required of us in order to have a social life, instead of just being attractive and having people surround us based on that.

[–]1 Endorsed Contributormordanus 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree with you but its almost a chicken or the egg thing. We are more reliant on our personality because we are male. If we were female then men would give us all the attention we wanted if we were pretty enough. As men we have to work for it. So in a sense it is that we are genetically predisposed to it. Also in that is the way that we tell stories. Humor is basically about how a story is told. Men tell great stories that relate to both genders. Women tell stories that only relate to women. I think that plays a huge part in why there are so many more male comedians than female.

So many tidbits:

not only would he accept me for my bad habits...the best part was, I had no solid commitment to him anymore, so the guilt I felt when these bad habits were manifested into words between us arose, it was, at best, minimal.

Why dress up for a guy who demands it if the girl gets all that attention from a beta who gives it freely?

We were so comfortable, and he made me feel so comfortable

Italics not mine. She emphasizes her own solipsism and selfishness here.

He’s like, he’s like, one of my girlfriends!...I mean, I love my girlfriends. They’re like my crazy, fun sisters, extensions of me. Ted was like that in my eyes, and then some. So what was the problem?

I guess even beta guys like Ted have their limit. Getting called an actual girl friend has to be one of them. Of course she is massively surprised and can't imagine what's wrong.

Yes, we’ve disregarded you as a romantic counterpart in our lives. But what was truly so terrible about this?...This is a total win-win situation for us!

I don't blame you actually...but I will sure warn other guys about it. Wake up, men.

If she falls on her face in love, she will turn to you, because she credits you as reliable and trustworthy.

Wow, what an honor...barf. Nah, I think I'll go smash some random pussy instead.

Her tone gets massively more condescending near the end. Basically, it's a shame-job telling men how lucky they are they can be. You can read it yourself. The comment section is predictably full of butthurts and girls shaming them:

So you want him to do everything a boyfriend does but without the boyfriend benefits, and now there is another guy who gets all the benefits and none of the duties... you think it's his fault?

This is tremendously helpful for anyone wanting to truly understand the redpill. Overcome your initial revulsion and see it for what it is: A woman who has been validated so much that she no longer has a sense of shame and shows what she truly is.

The part about her confessing her "secrets" to him, which is simply the things she does that she's ashamed of. Not doing the things she knows she should, and using food and drugs to self-medicate against even the slightest bit of emotional discomfort. His reactions to these "confessions" is to approve and soothe her ego. THIS IS WHY IT IS RATIONAL FOR WOMEN TO NOT WANT TO MATE WITH BETAS. She instinctively understands that this behaviour lowers her SMV, and because she's still young, being mated to a guy like this will lead to her continuing nasty habits that will make her fat, unhealthy and lacking in self control. She NEEDS a man who will call her on her bullshit and hold her to higher standards, especially while she's still young enough to potentially get another mate later on. She says that he makes her comfortable, but deep down, she knows she doesn't DESERVE to be comfortable, because her behaviour is fucking awful. She needs to be made uncomfortable, because she needs some major change in her life.

The part where she mentions that he doesn't have a vagina, so he doesn't bring drama into her life is a hint. She doesn't want your emotional bullshit. She wants you to be her rock, so that she can grab on when her torrent of emotions tosses her around every which way.

That's just the low-hanging fruit. There's tons more there to analyze, such as "no solid commitment to him anymore" and the other guy "semi-saw the sense" (he saw it completely) etc.

A masterclass in Redpill theory could be taught on this article, because the writer unwittingly reveals her true self completely. Without an Alpha to guide her, she is going to end up fat, drug addicted (to caffeine and nicotine if nothing else), emotionally unstable and completely incapable of taking responsibility for herself or anything else. The big problem for her is that no alpha NEEDS to do this for her, and I doubt any alpha will WANT to do that for her.

A "patriarchal" society doesn't seem so bad when a girl so clearly needs a man to basically be her father, does it? I'm sure that statement will piss off fems and bluepillers, so let's fucking see some girls turn around this mess of a human being. It's not gonna happen.

I hope someone submits this shit to Heartiste so we can see a full breakdown.

Lies to her father, smokes 1.5 packs/day, closes down bars then chows down on nutritionally-deficient food, uses men for validation then wonders why they won't continue orbiting her after she flaunts her new fuck buddy relationship.

She sounds like a class act and a real catch. "Ted" needs to drop her like a hot brick and move on. Sounds like he's maybe on that track. I hope he follows through with it.

These type of women (I don't know about this one) look incredible when they're young and can get away with eating horribly, but when their youth starts to fade (I'd say around 27 when their arms and hips start to get flabby), all those bad habits catch up with them with a vengeance. They develop the pouch, the stained teeth, fatter ankles, and retain all the trappings of ego -- it's a sad sight to see.

Not even 27... 22 or 23 in some cases.

The difference is that for the most part, guys bodies arent attractive without some sort of workout routine, while girls can be, since all they need is being thin OR have a nice ass OR having big boobs which may come naturaly during your teens.

So in a man's mind we actually know that we have to make an effort to keep an attractive physique, which stays in your head. Women... well we've seen it.

Here's what worked best for me in that situation. I just outright stopped being the one to initiate contact with her a few months ago. Of course I'd give pleasantries when she would initiate contact but distance myself.

So far it's worked perfectly because she's had zero interest in getting in touch with me since, which has pretty much confirmed her intentions to me. To be honest, as much as it hurt me that she's had no interest in actually talking to me, I'm glad I just manned up and walked away the better person. I knew if I outright made a fuss about it, I'd be dragged through the dirt on facebook no matter how right I'd be.

In that case, I knew it was getting nowhere because I spent ages orbiting her, making her feel appreciated, making her feel kind, giving her compliments when she was feeling depressed while she kept me friendzoned, made continual excuses not to meet up which she often changed on a regular basis, fucked her much older friend and then went back to her cheating ex.

Never again...

[–]EndoScorpion 7 points8 points9 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I think part of it is because the beta male gave this girl so much approval, attention, validation, kindness, etc. that she got a big ego and felt she could do no wrong. I read from Robert Donlak (Paradigm Shift) that if a guy puts the girl's needs ahead of his own she loses respect for him.

Now I know what you’re thinking, guys. You’ll just say, well fuck, that bitch is just selfish. Well, yes, maybe we are a little selfish. We do hog your time because we simply love your company. We don’t ask anything of you—no deadlocked commitment, no going half on the Plan B, nothing. We simply love your company.

Please replace the word "company" with the word "validation" in the quote above.

So like I’d tell Ted, instead of texting your lady friend mean and angry shit and ignoring her, which makes you appear childish and bitch-like, spend that valuable time and energy reflecting and then conquering instead. I don’t mean the ten minutes post-lifting you spend on secret, selfie-action in the bathroom mirror. [...] Tackle that ugly feeling you get when you’re mad at your friend because she is just trying to get hers with nothing but triumph; opt to come out on top—better, stronger, faster, leaner, meaner, unstoppable, unrestrained to being upset over one case of pussy.

Surprised to see that! Only redeeming part of the article.

Of course, she fails to realize that she and Ted were never friends. Ted wanted to fuck her, yes. But she was using Ted as the proverbial emotional tampon. She clearly and repeatedly expresses contempt for Ted beyond this recent fight, mean texting, and silence.

Someone that nonjudgmental, funny, witty, caring, and who spoils you with innocent compliments? And let’s not forget, who didn’t have a vagina, so who was also drama-and-headache free for the most part? Who in the world would want to jeopardize this relationship?

God damn. This is some curious shit. I mean, this girl literally just described why she is a shitty excuse for a friend.

[–]PlanB_pedofile 13 points14 points15 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Wow....shit....

The first part of this article she describes that best friend, boyfriend, partner, that sounds like every dream girl's fantasy of a healthy partnered relationship of marriage. .... but Ted is not her husband, he's her "girlfriend"

Then after she finds a new hookup, Ted realizes that he will never be that kind of man to this woman.

So she goes on and on about Ted but never seems to talk about this new boo she is seeing...... why? Because she's fucking an alpha.

She doesn't go on and on how this new boyfriend is a great friend, emotional supporter, nothing in the way she describes Ted. She hints at the boyfriend being that guy that just fulfills her pussy.

Poor Ted has to come to terms that this girl is on all fours getting a cock rammed into her while she's screaming how much she loves it, all from an alpha stud that wouldn't put in 1/4 the relationship value that Ted has.

Then at the end she advises the people like Ted to "alpha up" hit the gym ..... but still be around when she's done riding cock and wants a long term stable relationship.

This article is so ridiculous that it reads like a parody from The Onion. I don't think this girl could sound more self-absorbed if she tried. She just names a bunch of the things he did for her, and then complains that he's not willing to stick around and be her compliment machine, when he's not getting anything in return.

I think this article provides a good lesson to guys though on what not to do.

College is when I gave up on trying to have straight male friends. When I indicated I wasn't interested in a sexual relationship, they disappeared off the map or kept trying. It was really a shame too because I have more male interests like metal music and playing RPGs. It's hard for me to find female friends, but I've finally found a few good ones.

I was sad for a while, but then eventually accepted human nature for what it is. Most of my guy friends now are exes, who parted on good terms or are friends of my boyfriend. I also have some great gay guy friends, who are probably the best of all worlds for a lady. They still have male interests I can talk about, but aren't interested in having sex with me. (I also contribute to my friendships with dudes, giving rides , buying food 50% of the time, asking them about their feelings).

Lesson for the ladies who want a guy friend, get a gay friend and be nice to them.

Lesson for the guys? I think it's probably good for guys to have at least one close, platonic female friend so they can learn more about women in a non-committed situation. But having more than one close platonic female friend will probably start taking your time away from getting laid/finding a girlfriend.

I disagree. Let's agree and amplify with the feminists. They want to expand the definition of rape to include, well, every interaction between a man and woman, so let's give it to them.

Woman wastes your time? No, she raped your time. Woman insults you? No, she verbally raped you. Woman goes all tantrum and breaks your stuff? Nope, she raped your possessions. Woman tries to turn you into an orbiter/freindzone? Feelings rape.

It's fine if we disagree. Two smart, articulate, educated men can disagree on a plethora of topics.

It won't be us, I assure you of that.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You are certainly correct about what would happen in the beginning, but after a while the term would lose all significance. It has already started to happen.

I remember when the term rape meant a stranger attacking a woman and having forceable, penatrative sex with her in an alley or something. Now, some dude giving a chick consensual oral sex, in public, in which there is video evidence of her consenting to the act is considered rape by a sizable chunk of the populace (fortunately for the guy in that case the law didn't agree).

Chicks now use the term "rapey" to refer to non-physical male attention, i.e. looking at them. We are already through the looking glass on this one. I think that my strategy sort of flips the script on them and makes them look as ridiculous as they actually are.

Of course, it could backfire and we could all end up in jail because we looked at a chick who didn't have any attraction for us and we get convicted of Rapey Behaviour (a Class A felony)...in which case, I call the top bunk!

Ted moved on. Smart man.

Rule: If you want to fuck a woman, don't try to be friends.

It's really that simple and it's important to make it clear to the woman (and yourself) as early as possible.

For me... the sticky part is when I haven't decided whether I want to have sex with a particular woman or not. I get enough pussy that I'm selective and sometimes, I just don't know until I spend a little time with a new woman.

And yet, the sooner you polarize, the better. It's frequently a conundrum.

Anyway, shout out of appreciation to TRP. I've had more sex, better sex, and way more fun since I stopped my beta orbiting ways.

So, toilet plunger in hand, I found it was some time for some serious self-reflection. They say self-reflection is the first step unto self-improvement. To understand something thoroughly enables you to come up with a thorough solution.

So you see, at 15 past 2 o’clock in the morning, I kept checking my phone. For a text, or rather, lack of a text, from one of my best friends. The cause of the lack of a text part will be explained in the following segment.

So you think of your friend Ted when you need somthing.

The cause of the lack of Text is Ted taking steps to regain his self-respect.

For the purposes of this article, we’ll call him Ted. Ted was, in essence, someone whom I truly loved and adored,

The unsaid rejoinder, understood by all red pillers and women is "when I needed something."

List of confessions

How I have no honor, no ability to function except on impulse.

Yesterday I lamented my lack of willpower. My contempt for her has caused me to revaluate it.

I told him all of this because I truly enjoyed listening to his witty and meaningful responses;

Because he was an emotional tampon you could use for validation and to ease your guilt at being a terrible human being.

We were so comfortable, and he made me feel so comfortable

As old as time Comfort with no attraction = friendzoned.

Who in the world would want to jeopardize this relationship?

Disingenuous or an idiot. I can't tell which one you are.

Well, was it really that bad to be at the subject end of comparison?

You just called him "dickless". What do you think?

I saw his point—but let me tell you, guys, there’s just no validity to your being well, crushed by it.

And there's equally no validity to you not sucking his dick, right?

Feels are feels. So come on, just the tip!

We both can just kick it now, be ourselves around one another, do the things we’re both not comfortable doing around our significant others yet,

This is not how being a man operates.

This is a total win-win situation for us! you.

FIFY. You get emotional validation and someone to unclog your toilet. he gets to masturbate and cry alone.

And you can’t blame us for making lemonade from lemons—you do the same in a situation where a potential win is on the horizon: i.e., when you see a girl who’s DTF and texting you drunk as shit on a Friday saying she wants to come over. It’s not scumbaggish, it’s simply called carpe-diem-ing.

Well this may be her most honest point. She's using him because he's DTC (down to care) and she's taking advantage of it.

We do hog your time because we simply love your company. We don’t ask anything of you—no deadlocked commitment, no going half on the Plan B, nothing. We simply love your company.

Contradiction, my time is my commitment. Also Plan B is on you, I got snipped.

And you love our company? You mean our labor. Didn't this line of hamsterign start because of a clogged toilet?

there’s nothing you should be mad about when it comes to your lady friend falling for another dude.

And there's nothing you should be mad and write a polemic about when you man friend says "fix your own damn toilet."

When my toilet is plugged, I don't ask my friends. When I have a flat, I call AAA.

You should, in fact, confront those shitty feelings you get when addressing your lady friend and her new boo, and question what makes you feel your position is somewhat threatened

It's not feelings of being threatened. It's called feeling used. And if your feels are sacrosanct, so are ours.

The reality is this bitch uses betas. And gets mad when they realize it.

nstead, learn to respect her decision and just work on you and closing that gap of uneasiness with an amazing new skill or furthering your knowledge on something compelling—even spend more time at the gym.

Now she's half honest again - become more useful to her to get her attention back.

So like I’d tell Ted, instead of texting your lady friend mean and angry shit and ignoring her, which makes you appear childish and bitch-like, spend that valuable time and energy reflecting and then conquering instead. I don’t mean the ten minutes post-lifting you spend on secret, selfie-action in the bathroom mirror.

Well, she's honest agin. ted should lift, learn a new skill, and withdraw from this cunt. And when she begs for him to return, he ought simply say "Nah."

I mean the real reflection you have to do with yourself when seeing your ex’s Instagram upload of her and her new man overpriced Minnie and Mickey Mouse ears at Disneyland.

Yes, that reflection is; "Holy Crap, I am being used. Fuck this."

meaningless solipsism and blaming

So she starts her reflection based on needing a man to fix her, then she turns it around into blame-shaming men. What a catch. Next.

And you can’t blame us for making lemonade from lemons—you do the same in a situation where a potential win is on the horizon: i.e., when you see a girl who’s DTF and texting you drunk as shit on a Friday saying she wants to come over. It’s not scumbaggish, it’s simply called carpe-diem-ing.

Well this may be her most honest point. She's using him because he's DTC (down to care) and she's taking advantage of it.

... from an intersexual behavior standpoint, the male equivalent of a slut is the beta orbiter. ... Like the slut who gives away her sexuality on the cheap, accepting sexual attention with no commitment or provision, the beta orbiter gives away his provision and commitment without any corresponding receptivity to his sexual attentions ... Just as the cad doesn’t feel a social sting for having his harem of sluts, LJBF-girl doesn’t feel a social sting for having her harem of beta orbiters. And what follows, I think, is that things will just keep getting worse unless and until fewer women engage in slutty behavior and fewer men engage in beta orbiting behavior. Shaming the cads isn’t going to work.

Its amazing how naive most women seem to be. I've never met a heterosexual guy who wanted to be "just friends" with an attractive woman. Men simply aren't programmed that way. If we were, our species would've died ages ago.

I suppose this is what happens when we artificially inflate female egos from the day they are born. "You should be thankful that I allowed you to spend time with me because I'm AMAZING, FUNNY and INTERESTING!" Sure you are girl.

You can tell by this line that she doesn't think that much of herself while at the same time having a sky-high ego.

I was initially infuriated at the woman while reading the article but I stepped back and saw this situation through logic. The woman is not at fault here. She is acting in a selfish way and that's their nature. You can't get mad at her nature. You're railing against nature and its always a lose situation. Only a fool rises against God and nature. Infact she should be lauded for her honesty. A destroying message would have been if she lied and wrote that she slept with her orbiters. This would have given the betas a false hope that their supplication is worth an effort. Her writing is encouragable. This way the bluepillers realize that all that spineless shit they do is getting them farther away from pussy and not closer. And nobody is in a better position to tell this harsh truth to them than the same women they worship.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Christ. It used to be men getting shamed for being angry about not getting sex (that is fair enough), now he just wants to terminate the friendship because he's not getting anything out of it whilst putting so much into it. Imagine how much that must hurt him, hearing about what she gets up to with her new man, yet she expects him to unconditionally support her basically whenever she needs it-serious entitlement problems here.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

They say self-reflection is the first step unto self-improvement.

I love how she starts with this line, as if anything in the rest of the article even remotely demonstrates any kind of self improvement and not her blaming others for the problems she creates.

This is a total win-win situation for us! meeeeee!

FTFY

From here, she starts playing fast and lose with "we", meaning her and "Ted the bitch", and the royal "We".

We don’t ask anything of you

Except all of your time an attention. This entire article is her asking demanding things from Ted.

If she falls on her face in love, she will turn to you, because she credits you as reliable and trustworthy.

More of them not asking anything of the Ted's in the world, buy explicitly demanding that he be there, take her shit, and just be happy that she even talks to him.

They say reflection is the first step in self-betterment

Then why the fuck is she so incapable of it. Oh right, solipsism.

Fuck this bitch.

Props to the guy for refusing to be her beta orbiter. I love how people try to shame this. I recently had a girl I was trying to get with pull back and say she didn't want anything more than friends. I simply replied "I have enough friends, I'm not interested in you that way." She tried to discuss it further, but I cut it off. I heard through a friend of hers that she was lamenting this on facebook (I don't have one, so I can't check for myself).

Can you just imagine the article she would have put up if he had friendzoned her based on her list of shortcomings? It'd be "misogynism this" and "why can't he accept me for that" and blah blah blah.

One interesting point: "You should, in fact, confront those shitty feelings you get when addressing your lady friend and her new boo, and question what makes you feel your position is somewhat threatened."

I wonder if she gives this advice to 40something women whose husbands leave to fuck younger women. She goes on to basically tell men to suck it up and self improve - I wonder if she'd tell women the same.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

What's funny is that she makes a good point in there with the drunk girl texting away at the bar: When you see an easy target, you take it.

If you make yourself a Slut for her time and company--or Time Ho as Patrice calls it---you're going to get treated like one. The Friend Zone is the female version of the Slut Zone for men.

The difference between us is that men don't rationalize our slut zone or try and make ourselves martyrs. We don't date sluts or take them seriously. Period.

[–]The_CEO_of_Beta 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It was really painful for me to read this article because I was exactly in Ted's position long ago. Almost word for word. I made the stupider mistake though and stood around for her. Girls bitch and whine when the beta leaves when she finds an alpha, but I guarantee you 100% that they never once gave a thought to how the beta feels. I know how it feels, I lived it.

If Ted stuck around

I'll tell you what would have happened to Ted if he stayed, what happens to men who stay in the friend zone.

First, hanging out with her starts to suck. All she does is start fawning about the other guy, and wanting to talk about him non-stop when you hang out and it annoys you. She'll talk about places she's been without you, and talk about things he does and make you feel like you've been left out. Since you're a "nice guy" all you have to say is, "cool", while deep down inside you're being crushed.

Then she starts inviting him to hang out with you and her, and because you're a stupid beta, you say "sure". Then it gets really dumb, he's got him arm around her and they start doing PDA in front of you, grabbing/kissing each other and her laughing as he touches her all over, he wants to prove to you that he's got her and you're just the third wheel to their fun party. If you don't think they look at you and say, "Hah, I feel sorry for this guy. We got each other, and he's got no one" then you're stupid and naive.

Then she starts hanging out with you less, talking to you less, and only responding selectively to texts as she's busy sucking him off or riding his dick. All that time before when she was hanging out with you and you both enjoyed traveling and doing fun shit? Nope, now she's doing that with him. Now you're an afterthought. You're only called up if he's bored/busy of her and she needs desperate attention. You're just sealed in a backup jar until those days come.

She has a new toy now. If you think she wants to play with both the new toy and the old toy, you're fucking stupid. Do you still keep playing with your old worn out stuff when you got brand new stuff? No, old stuff gets thrown in a corner and forgotten. That's you.

So all the beta really is, is just a lap dog to her. If she really cared for him, she'll let him go. I haven't even begin to mention what's going on in the beta's psyche as all of this shit is happening.

[–]TRP VanguardArchwinger 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

At the risk of breaking ranks here, a little bit, in this article "Ted" was the one that was wrong and stupid. If he was interested in this author (I can't imagine why - she sounds like an entitled priss, but whatever), he shouldn't have spent years hanging around her never trying to escalate, hoping she'd eventually...what exactly? Get drunk and initiate something with him because he'd been too much of a pussy to make a move? He was a bigger pussy than most of her girlfriends -- she was right to call him a girlfriend.

Yeah, the author is a manipulative slut for stringing this guy along to get her validation (we know damn well she can't have been completely blind to his desire), then jumping into bed with some other guy, then playing all self-righteous by saying her "friend" should just want her to be happy.

But "Ted" damn near asked for this. Who hangs around a girl he wants to fuck for an extended period of time and never makes a move? She didn't move on to another guy because she didn't know. She didn't move on to another guy because she evilly manipulated "Ted" into the friend-zone by stringing him along. She moved on to another guy because she doesn't want to get fucked by a pussy. Ted turns me off, too.

Her advice for him to work on self improvement is, at least, good. He might be a little bit heart broken and acting irrationally. The way forward is for him to shrug his shoulders and move on to something better.

I hope Ted learns from this whole situation. If he does, he might end up being a much better man for it. At some point it will click, and he'll see that he's the one who got himself into this. Hopefully that time is now.

There is nothing wrong with being platonic friends with a woman. In fact, it can be very beneficial for you. The mistake is falling in love with said woman. It may not be the smoothest plan of action, but I'd much rather flat out tell her the situation. Best case? Girl sees you that way too. Worst case? You walk away. There really isn't a worst case here.

This made me laugh. I can't get mad at this behavior - that's how women typically behave when it comes to their orbiters and male "friends". Those getting mad upon reading were probably in orbiter situations, unknowingly failing shit tests and not making a move. Bought into the feminist rhetoric like most.

Can the faux friendship and start banging other girls. You'll get more play and she'll be jealous, so you'll actually have a good chance of banging her too.

If you want sex with women, you need to behave like a man who has sex with women. That means none of this friend nonsense unless that friendship includes alot of sex. So risk rejection early. You don't lose points by being bold, you get laid.

[–]da-way 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

Well that was quite a solipsistic rant but then again that was to be expected.

I do however find my self in the awkward position of agreeing with the sentiment of the female commentors. Hold your pitchforks please. This is not a bridge and I am not a troll. Remember, these girls know exactly what Ms. Kimrie Pham is talking about and have no idea why Mr. Ted is upset (Solipsism is one helloffa drug) and, if I am not mistaken, agree with the sentiment of Ms. Pham, that their relationship was "total win-win situation for us!". Never once having even thought about "Ted's" reason for the friendship. So we would do well to avoid that trap our selfs and step out of our own bubble of solipsism into the harsh glare of reality.

Now on to the part of this musing where I agree with the genetically over-burdened sex. "Ted" is wrong to be angry at Ms. Pham. When you get down to it, his anger, however genuine, is misplaced (through no fault of his own however). "Ted" has been sold a bill of goods that does not stand up to it's advertised value or function. He engaged in a transaction thinking he was buying a dog but getting a cat. He bought into societies contract with men: "Be loyal and valuable and you will get the girl who will value and respect you." Maybe so in decades past but this is the age of the slut-walk, feminism, jezzibel and facebook. Women have discarded their societal shackles and gotten shaming declared a hate-crime while men are only now discovering that they are bound.

But i digress. "Ted" is mistakenly directing his anger toward the object of his affection because he never took the time to verify the contracts authenticity. He negotiated with a third-party and then expected the deal to be honored by the unsuspecting Ms. Pham. She being a woman of some beauty seems to be unable to fathom that men do not approach the world like she does an ignorance of reality that "Ted" seems likewise oblivious to, leaving both parties unsatisfied with the whole situation. What is the moral of my musings you ask? Well:

You don't get mad at a dog for eating your steak, you don't get mad at a girl for friend-zoning you. It is up to you to make sure that your steak stays uneaten and your orbit is only around the sun.

With the continued growth of our fledgeling community I am optimistic that we shall have fewer "Ted's" and perhaps even fewer Ms. Phams

Good day Gentlemen.

[–]GridReXX -1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago* (9 children) | Copy Link

Ted is completely to blame in this situation.

Women treat all their friends the same. He doesn't get brownie points for "listening to her and being emotional support." ALL OF MY FRIENDS male or female are my friends because they let me vent and are emotional support for me as I am for them. I'm sure she was also his sounding board for his various problems. That's fair. That's friendship.

I really need guys to understand this. Women treat their male friends the same as we treat our female friends. Nothing she said sounded outlandish from a "friends" perspective. I have male friends. I act as their wingman for chicks, they help me vet potential people to date. We drink beer together and talk shit on people. It's a friendship.

If he wanted more he should have said from earlier on or at some point (it's fair to start of platonic and eventually find yourself developing feelings) "I think we clique well and I like you, as more than a friend."

At that point if she said, "I don't share those romantic feelings for you," then it would be up to him to end their relationship. And she would have the right to feel sad about it. The same way I would feel sad if one of my female friends decided to end a friendship with me over something that was out of my control. In fact this has happened to me. Found out one of my close female friends liked me in a way that I wasn't willing to reciprocate. I still wanted to be friends. She couldn't handle it. It sucked for both of us.

That said, he's totally in his right to end it if he can't take that. But he should have done it way earlier.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

It takes two to tango. While he should have said something early on, she should have said something as well. Playing coy doesn't absolve you of responsibility for your half of a relationship.

[–]GridReXX 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago* (5 children) | Copy Link

Sincere question. What should she say?

You have a friendship with a person. Do you tell them. "I don't like you romantically," if you never entered into the friendship even thinking that. That logic doesn't make sense. Do you do that with your male friends? Would I do that with my female friends?

Unless you think all people in co-ed friendships should arbitrarily declare at the very beginning. "I have zero romantic attraction to you. commence secret platonic handshake" I never knew of this rule.

Also the whole world isn't hetero. I should also do this for all same sex friendships too then. You never know. As stated in my first post, I've had a close female friend develop romantic feelings for me. How the hell am I to know to state at some point, "Hey girl, I don't like you like that." If she never brought it up? Seems presumptuous and quite frankly rude.

And I imagine if she had done that 98% of the posts on this thread would have read something like this: "Fucking bitch. Something something female nature something something narcissism something something solipsism."

Also, and now I'm just venting because I've noticed a trend in here:

Woman breaks up with guy because their personalities genuinely didn't click. TRP response: Female nature, narcissism, solipsism, hypergamy, bitch.

Man breaks up with woman because their personalities genuinely didn't click. TRP response: Alpha as fuck; he's such a great person.

Normal person response to both of those scenarios: Those two obviously weren't good together, they both will be better off with more compatible partners.

There's rarely ever a normal person and holistic response in here.

That just seems ridiculous to me.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

Honestly, it's not so much the concept as it is how HORRIBLY written and how dumb of a bitch the author is.

This article exudes TRP all over it. He acted like a complete beta and wonders why she won't fuck him.

But whoever gave this "author" a job, needs to be fired

Edit :

Just read the second half of your post and want to respond. In my opinion, I think the main thing the girl did wrong was write a stupid article about it. If he doesn't want to be "Just friends" with her he doesn't have to, just like she doesn't have to have a relationship with him. Vent to your friends, not the Elite Daily audience.

Their are a LOT of reasons people break up. A lot of the reason you see those responses towards a woman breaking up with a guy is because the woman cheated or something along those lines. No guys here are gonna give two shits if someone comes onto this forum crying "My girlfriend broke up with me cause I was a whiny needy bitch", they're gonna tell him to stop being a whiny needy bitch and go to r/relationships.

That we agree on. It's terrible. And she made the faux-pas of contradicting herself a few times. But then the OP should have made the critique about her unattractive writing style.

And fair enough on the second bullet. I just tend to see a lot of posts that go directly to women-bashing without context or without merit.

But I guess it's no different than a woman crying over her boyfriend who cheated on her a gillion times and all of the posters saying "Yeah, all men are pigs! It's male nature!"

But I hate that shit too.

Men don't suck, your boyfriend sucks because he's a sucky person. And quite frankly if you accepted that bullshit (unless you two were in a mutually agreed upon open relationship but then I guess that isn't cheating), you should probably work on yourself too. It's nothing against TRP. It's just not healthy to generalize in that way. It breeds contempt and against a whole group of people, when really you should just work on choosing people who are better suited for you personally; for your personality; for your values; for your humor; for your sex drive, etc...

I think TRP misses the point with NAWALT. It's thrown around as snark, when really that's how you should view people. View each relationship and each person as unique. You guys should mold to each other. Not force each other to mold to ideas of each other. Mutual consideration and respect and understanding goes a long way. If both people do this then things should work out in spite of your differences. If you genuinely care about/love each other.

Your questions are totally legitimate and thanks for asking them.

There is a trend in here because you are on TRP. That should be obvious to anyone in here. I understand that it may be frustrating to you but you are actively participating in a forum dedicated to men improving their lives through masculine development. You may disagree with how they are doing it and that's fine.

I have had friends that were girls and whom I noticed had feelings that were more than "friendship." If Ted was employing tactics to avoid appearing like he had romantic feelings or was hiding them, then he is totally at fault. He should have said something. Now, if she had noticed them and was oblivious to them, she is either socially retarded (possibly slightly autistic) or she is negligent (which would lead me to question the true nature of that relationship). OR, she is lying by omission to avoid looking like a manipulative woman to make her point in the article.

Either way, I don't think we should be angry at the author for offering an incredibly ignorant point of view. She's just that. Ignorant. But, if she is trying to look like a saint by saying she couldn't notice how much effort he puts into the relationship, then we can be angry at her.

This past year, I was totally into a girl who I hooked up with several times, who decided to call it off but offered her friendship. I said "no." I said "no" partly for self-preservation and partly because I wasn't going to sit around and wait for some other guy to swoop her up. I feel I would get a lot more respect for choosing to go my own way.

All of this is contextual of course. Most men in here have some friends that are women, I know I do. But, its really understood from the get go that I would never sleep with them or vice versa. Its not spoken but its seen through body language, etc. I know when a woman is attracted to me. And I know when a woman is not attracted to me. And if I am confused, I can ask around or ask directly. There is no harm in being direct.

:)

This was very pleasant.

Honestly, I get it. I get that sometimes in order to feel good about yourself you have to tear some shit down and since women seem to be the cause of a lot of heartache here, I can understand why it may feel good to just say "Fuck bitches."

In fact, I am guilty of this as well. If a series of guys treat me disrespectfully. My knee-jerk response will probably be "fuck all men!!!"

But I don't really feel that way. At all. And I understand that it's not all men, it's just some people are assholes and those several happened to be men. It just felt good in the moment to release some frustration.

So I understand.

What makes a lot of people uncomfortable with TRP is that many times it doesn't feel like level-headed and socially well-adjusted guys just blowing off steam in the locker room. It feels like genuine hate and disgust. And then there are so many posts from what seems like teenage/young adult guys who appear to be male versions of ingenues who earnestly take the most extreme of the advice and tell their stories of how they applied it to real life.

It's like someone taking their S&M fetishes into the real world and applying it on real people. So yes, for the women who aren't out here trying to ruin your lives, it's a bit scary. Not to mention all the stuff about women not being intellectually curious, or critical thinkers, or able to grasp abstractions, and only good for popping out babies, and all that genuinely sexist jazz. That's always going to strike a nerve. No one likes being belittled, particularly when it comes to intellectual capacity. No man. No woman. No one.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yup.

There are a lot of guys on here that (I wont name by username) think that TRP is about being dominant, super aggressive, ball busting, don't take shit, zero-sum game playing, don't accept any perceived slight against himself, etc.

When I hear guys talking about how they nailed an 8/10 or 9/10, I find it ironic because those are the qualities many of them profess to hate in women.

A true alpha cares little about his body count (how many chicks he sleeps with or dominates). His focus is on himself, improving things, working towards his own goals. A true alpha has moved past the point of women. Past the point of the chase. Women augment his life and make it better and if they don't, they are gone.

He's not afraid of being alone or rejected, or playing silly games in bars with girls who are approaching the same game from the opposite side. I don't respect men who go to a club and get a girl. Thats what people do in clubs.

A true alpha doesn't say "thats alpha bro" or "thats so beta dude."

I'm on here to listen and learn and occasionally help.

Women treat all their friends the same.

All women, everywhere, all the time? Are you generalizing? I love this. I'd love to see if you've ever said to a man, "Don't generalize! Not all women are like that!" because that would be poetic.

[–]GridReXX 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Fine. My bad. My friends treat their male friends like their female friends and vice versa.

Is that better?

But what exactly is your issue with that statement if applied to only my friend group?

Based on the article, she treated him like how I treat my female friends. I didn't see anything wrong with it. If so, I guess I treat my female friends bad too.

I think a lot of people are assuming she doesn't do the same for him.

If she's one of those friend who talk and talk and never let's the other person vent, then yeah. She's a bad friend.

You people are ridiculous. Ted didn't have the balls to make a move, so he got friend zoned. It's his own goddamn fault.

He didn't make a move, she wasn't interested, but she liked the guy and wanted to be friends with him. Again, his own damn fault for letting that shit happen.

If I get friend zoned, I make a decision about whether I want to be actual friends with the girl or if I just wanted her as a sex partner. If I decide I don't want to pursue a friendship with her, I break off social contact.

You guys are the guys who call girls who don't want to dance with you at the club bitches and lesbians, aren't you? God forbid any woman won't want to fuck you. It's impossible!

This isn't a red pill/blue pill thing. All men are blue pill and red pill at different times to different people. Being able to pull bar sluts doesn't make you god, you know.

You people are ridiculous. Ted didn't have the balls to make a move, so he got friend zoned. It's his own goddamn fault.

You literally just described the core philosophy of TRP: If I don't have the balls to make a move, I lose. The whole point of this sub is to help people be more alpha everywhere in their life. It empowers you by reminding that if you get friend zoned, it is your fault, not hers. Now it is YOUR decision.

You guys are the guys who call girls who don't want to dance with you at the club bitches and lesbians, aren't you? God forbid any woman won't want to fuck you. It's impossible!

See, that is a beta move through and through. It is the kind of thing TRP teaches against. So you're not even just preaching to the choir...you're preaching fire and brimstone style to the choir. Imagine Tony Robbins walks in to a seminar and just goes: "You know what your problem is? You don't have the right habits, motivation, or actions. You're not living your life right! I like to wake up and better myself all day...you should do that you dummies!" Everyone in the room would just be sitting there thinking like "I know that. That is why I am here. Please teach me the ways."

Interesting reply. All I see in this thread is overt woman hate. That's what I'm railing against.

[–]TRP VanguardCyralea 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You're seeing what you want to see. This article highlights the fact that BP methodologies will get you friendzoned almost every time.

It's a warning. Stop being beta, women are this way, now deal with it.

[–]lasertits69 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah I guess in reality a lot of RPers flock to TRP because it tries to go no bullshit at human nature while everyone else feeds them feel good crap. Basically "call em like you see em." Problem is when the betas of RP get screwed over they DON'T call em like they see em; they call em how they want to see em. Rather than saying I should have done something different, they say she's a bitch. In other words, you came in to TRP preaching redpill to a bunch of betas, who are here to learn what you already know. It is kinda funny.

[–]jquest23 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

Uh ,yeah , .. he figured it out , and got out , but somehow you failed to read the gist of the post .. Its about her ..

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

No, it's not about her. She's absolutely right. If you're crushing on a chick and get friend zoned and stay there, you have no right to get angry when she goes after another guy.

Ted is a dick for establishing a friendship with her and then getting obnoxious and jealous when she found someone to bang instead of him.

[–]jquest23 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

So, Teds a dick , for getting to know a girl , be-friending her, and then being a obnoxious dick, and acting jealous,cause he had a thing for her. And this is where you step in.. Cause Ted is a dick, for reacting, and bouncing. E-gads , he has no right ? I'm sorry , what should he have done. I'd like r/am5437435 to describe the right way.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

No no, he's not a dick for reacting and bouncing, he's a dick for going down the path at all. He makes friends with the chick, hoping that he'll get upgraded, which was never going to happen (except in the rarest of circumstances), then reacts like a child when the reality hits.

Instead, once he was friend zoned, he should have determined whether he was fine with the friend zone or whether he was going to bounce. Reacting like a twat and then ignoring after establishing a friendship is a dick move.

From this chick's perspective, what I see is that she friend zoned him and then established a friend relationship with him and continued her life.

Or is she a bitch because you think she was somehow exploiting Ted? Or that men and women can't be friends? No, Ted was the bitch in this scenario.

[–]TRP VanguardCyralea 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

You've never heard of friends becoming lovers? Or people saying things like "I married my best friend"?

It's also possible that she was approached by another Vietnamese guy (even though she's American-raised, she probably has some inkling of her culture). Asian cultures tend to emphasize the "friends first" approach.

I don't even know what we're arguing about anymore. Ciao.

[–]jquest23 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Without teds side of story your assuming much. Honestly I don't even contain enough care to refute. You sound awesome

Someone please tell me that this article is a poor attempt at humour...
