in the reply to a comment by the OP

I'm beginning to think that while he might look good "on paper" ie, has most of the things I'd want in a partner, we just don't share a strong connection.

Translation: he's so perfect but doesn't make my pussy wet.

This is why we listen to the fishermen, not the fish.

[–]AlwaysLateToThreads19 points20 points21 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Great translation Aqua Man.

Thats the biggest mistake one can make. Listen to a woman when she says what she wants. Truth is women dont know what they want.

[–]TRP VanguardHumanSockPuppet16 points17 points18 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

This is one of the enduring qualities of the Red Pill. The idiosyncrasy.

To an indoctrinated man, it seems incomprehensible that a woman could possibly be so irrevocably drawn to a man who "mistreats" her. After all, dating is about pair-bonding, right? It should be easy to identify a person's suitability as a long-term partner.

From that perspective, it seems like women are self-destructive, suicidal dimwits, and the jerks who prey on them are opportunistic beasts.Nothing makes any sense.

But the indoctrinated man's fatal flaw is to assume that the universe is fair. The universe is not fair - it selects for efficacy.

Alpha sperm will give the female's offspring the greatest odds of survival. And knowing full well the the alpha won't be inclined to stick around and rear the child, she'll fall back on the strategy of having a mealy beta pay her way for her.

She takes the best offerings from both mates and creates the most efficient and effective strategy for ensuring that her offspring survive.

Viewed in this way, it becomes internally consistent and easy to understand...and her strategy only seems "crazy" if you take her hamsterization about "finding a good guy" at face value. The real question is, good guy for what? Fucking or paying?

Fuck or pay. Make your choice, gentlemen.

This might just have to be sidebar-ed.

[–]Limpador14 points15 points16 points 13 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

That was me in the past. Always looking for ways to add input, being creative, helping out with a girl's stuff, giving her advice, lifting her spirits, encouraging her.

Well, didn't work!

I too was a hopeless romantic.

[–]fuk_offe2 points3 points4 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That makes two of us. In this case, I recommend "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.". Most of the time guys try to offer advice: women don't want advice or solutions. Opposite for men tho.

she will break up with him. i wonder how her bf feels if he knew that he was 2nd place in her heart?

[–]1mrust4 points5 points6 points 13 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link

The best part of the writeup is:

I also feel that my current boyfriend loves me more than I do him. But maybe that's a good thing, because I was very codependent on Jake.

She's very clear on her status within each relationship, which is pretty insightful. But reasoning any deeper is just tiring her inner hamster.

[–]TRP Vanguard: "Dark Triad Expert"IllimitableMan2 points3 points4 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

They know when they have the power or not.

[–]1mrust4 points5 points6 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yes, but in this case she is able to articulate it, and actually does so - putting her thoughts down for everyone to see.

I think it's a great example of a woman conciously pursuing the beta in order to have hand in the relationship.

This is the oldest story in the book, but women will rarely admit that they want to settle because they are: incapable of that level of introspection, solipsistic, or afraid of DLV by expressing these thoughts (she couldn't get a high status male).

This part of the writeup is what made me cringe.

[–]VeryWideDoucheNozzle6 points7 points8 points 13 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

She should spare him the non-consensual cuckoldry and break up with him.

By making that post alone; she's starting to rationalize the eventual betrayal & break-up with him. She wanted enough people to tell her that "If its NOT meant to be then its Not ment to be."

I don't feel sorry for the guy either; being a door mat is hardly a mating strategy let along pair-bonding for life (which he is thinking in his head).

[–]TRP Vanguard: "Dark Triad Expert"IllimitableMan9 points10 points11 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Yep, she wants her hamster feeding because it's not strong enough to rationalise this one away without her feeling guilty (the guy must be pretty fucking amazing, they can normally find at least ONE FLAW and run with that), when everyone collectively contributes to her fucking hamster and validates her immoral choice, she'll go cheat/dump guilt-free. Typical.

[–]TRP Vanguardss_camaro0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The concentration of this redpill is pretty high.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree. She shouldn't string along the poor dope. I don't get why women feel the need to be in a relationship just for the sake of being in one.

"He's the only person I know who reads Wikipedia for fun"

Everyone else she knows reads Wikipedia for work?

[–]TRP VanguardYouDislikeMyOpinion2 points3 points4 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You'll see him when you both are 35 and he'll be single, rich and successful because you shit on his heart and he swore never to give that power to another woman as long as he lived. So while you spent your 20's hoping from fling to fling looking for that better and stronger connection, He spent his 20's busting his ass to make money, lift weights and focus on making himself the best man he could be.

Yup.

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK DID I JUST HEAR? LMFAO.

[–]W-Z-R0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Ok, so general Redpill doctrine states that women prefer fucking Alphas (which is why she misses her ex even if he was abusive) because Alpha sperm is "better", is there a source on their sperm being somehow better?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

It's not a conscious decision for most women. Evolutionarily wise women had to mate with the most alpha man they could in order to survive. All the traits that make modern assholes attractive (confidence, abundance mentality, ambition, success) are the same ones that the biggest and baddest cavemen possessed for millions of years.

[–]W-Z-R0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

I don't see how those things are good for survival unless either he has beta traits (enough to stick around and take care of his woman) and the goods to back his confidence or he literally, that is biologically, has higher quality sperm which may well be the case. So modern women would have evolved in a way which meant that they build relationships with betas for the care they provide and lust after alphas for the better sperm, and that's what I was wondering.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I think we're both speculating now and I don't really care enough to dig up the sources to confirm or deny. Happy Saturday.

[–]W-Z-R0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

You too man

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I love that we can have a civil disagreement and just decide to walk away with no problem.

Wimminz would have flipped their shit, starting calling names and flinging poo.

Awesome.
