Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.

It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

Chris Mackney, a man driven to suicide because of the bullying by his ex-wife and her attorney. All thanks to the sexist family court system.

Some poor blue pill betas really think this. A bitter attack from a beta on what he sees as "asshole" alpha behavior.

When complimenting with actions instead of words, you get gratitude in actions, not words.

Feel-good bullshit. Compliments are not a vehicle for reciprocal pleasantries. It is very blue pill to suggest compliments in, gratitude out.

Compliments are a tool to reward good behavior. She will want to please you if she is attracted to you. When she does, the best compliment you could ever pay her is to acknowledge your pleasure. She wants nothing more than the gratification of knowing that she has satisfied a desirable man.

If she scrubs your filthy piss-soaked toilet for you and does a spectacular job, you reward her sincerely by saying, "Wow, this toilet looks fantastic." She will be delighted.

Keep your compliments valuable by keeping them increasingly rare. Every compliment raises the bar for the next compliment. Never compliment the same effort twice. Never compliment her for trivial shit, and never compliment or reward her for shit she didn't do.

Can I get an example of what this might look like?

[–]-robknows-[S] -3 points-2 points-1 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

You're lying in bed next to her and you think to yourself "damn, she's pretty." You don't tell her she's pretty, instead you show that you think she's pretty by flipping yourself onto her and making out.

[–]gg_s0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I get what you're saying, but I don't agree with it.

Flip her over and make out because you have an insatiable urge to make out, not because you feel like she could use a compliment-in-action. The difference is subtle but important. Her attraction will falter at the first hint of disingenuity.

I'm going to try this next time.

"Do I look fat in these pants?" "These pants?" (smack her ass)
