Never Enough

Studies show that women are happy largely due to achieving goals and having happy relationships with others.

Money also doesn't equal happiness either once basic needs are met.

So, that quote is bullshit.

I’m a woman and I ride my bike to work on Monday with a huge smile on my face cos I love my job so much. My partner is a Greco-Roman demigod in my eyes and we are really soul mates.

I wouldn’t trade him or my life for anything in the world. And I know tons of men and women who are malcontented. It’s not exclusive to women. TRP seems to think that “Woman” is a video game you can finally win one day. Humans of every sort comprise a myriad of contradictory emotions and impulses. We can barely know ourselves and there is no other person you will know so intimately as yourself. Why would an Internet forum be able to crack the final code on Women?

If you're rich but you treat your wife like shit, of course she's not going to be happy. These types of men think they can just throw money at someone and have a perfect relationship. That's not how relationships work. You have to be there for your partner, listen to them, respect them, help them out, be a good attentive partner, etc, it's give and take.

As far as the Will Smith thing goes, I think his wife was tired of his controlling behavior from the interviews that I watched. Like, who cares how rich and successful he is, we don't know what goes on behind closed doors.

And then yes, there are people who seem like nothing is ever good enough, but those people have a personality disorder. I think these guys who say this are either projecting or they are conflating mentally ill or personality disordered women with all women. I had a Narcissistic ex who was never satisfied with anything I ever did, it was never enough or good enough. I worked full time, did ALL of the household chores, cooked and took care of my daughter while he had no job, mooched off of me and talked all day on the phone with his friends. Needless to say, that got old really quick. That's not a partnership or a relationship, that's him treating me like a slave and taking advantage of me. But I certainly don't say all men are like that!

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3.5 years, and we’ve lived together for almost 3 years. I would say that I’m quite content with our relationship. We divvy up our responsibilities in a way that’s fair, and we try to make sure one another feel fulfilled and validated. Sure there are occasionally conflicts and gripes that we have, but we share them openly as we work through them together.

Celebrities are usually a bad place to look if you want to find stable relationships, but I can still think of a few who contradict this premise. Beyoncé and Jay Z have been married for 12 years, and they’ve always seemed to be very content with their relationship even through difficult times.

When I responded to one of your posts a few days ago, I suggested that you try to flip ideas like this on their head to test their validity. I think this is another great opportunity. Can you imagine that there are probably men who are never satisfied with their partners? Because I certainly can. In fact, I’ve seen posts on TRP that advocate having this mindset, so I’d imagine that the people making those posts are speaking for themselves.

It seems to me that this is just another double standard. Men are not immune to being selfish, and it’s pretty cynical for someone to think that way

Debating red pill shit is kinda like debating conspiracy theories.

They make spectacular arguments and connect points very consistently. They make arguments about how there's always illuminati symbols and american printed money, and how all presidents are free masons, which in turn is somehow connected to the illuminati and so forth.

And yet, you just know it's bullshit speculation.

It's kinda the same with red pill. Most of it can be dismissed with "It's not", because well, it's not.

They rely on empty generalizations based on media stereotypes or cherry picked pop science. Usually they make conclusions about shit that can't be easily proved or disproved, yet their argument is at least plausible enough to stick. And it does.

Take Will Smith, for example. We got no clue wtf happent. We were not into the details of their relationship ever. Multiple shit could have happen. True is we just DON'T KNOW exactly the things that made it turn out the way it did. Yet, TRP comes with an explanation based on their theories... and guess what, it's consistent and it sort of makes sense. And so they believe it.

But it also makes sense that the earth is flat. And it also makes sense that there's an elite of illuminati men ruling the world from the backstage. And yet, it's probably bullshit.

Take a look at the Cock Carousel theory. How the fuck do they know if the majority of women are secretly fucking hundreds of guys in their twenties. They can't prove that, yet it can't be disproved either.

Take a look at Hypergamy or AF/BB. You can't get inside a woman's head to know exactly what are her intentions or what drawn her to chose a certain guy. You can't really prove or refute those ideas.

And that's ultimately what makes TRP and other conspiracy theories: It relies on arguments that are usually hard to prove or disprove. And hence, you can't never really refute it... other than just knowing it's way too ridiculous or wild speculation based on empty generalizations backed with a consistent just-so story.

All you can say most of the time is that... It's Not.

The problem is that TRP guys lives their lives off based on dumb quotes like this, instead of actually going out and experiencing life.

Peacheslikeyou · 2020-09-18T17:48:59+00:00

Well men actually cheat more than women so

atman714 · 2020-09-17T22:06:51+00:00

I have a close friend, who knew a couple. Everyone kind of was envious of this guy, he had a great house, a wife, they both made quite alot of money put together. Their marriage was relatively new too. One day, without any prior warning, he walked out in the back of the woods and shot himself. This, sorry to use strong language, is a bullshit quote. Men are complex, you can't generalize like this.

LMAO. I fell head over heels in love with a guy who didn’t have a steady job (I truly didn’t care), who wouldn’t lift a finger to do anything for me, never even paid for meals, NEVER REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY in the two years I knew him, never bought me a single gift. I got him stuff for his birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day. Paid for food, even gas for his fucking car when he was broke!!! I loved this guy to pieces.

And when we got into an argument once and I told him I had decided not to move closer to be with him because I felt that he wasn’t seriously interested in me romantically, he got upset and told me he felt like whatever he did it just wasn’t enough.

I think the issue isn’t with reality, it’s just with the belief that men already have and hold so strongly that they don’t see the reality right in front of their faces. They would rather just believe what they already believe.

When you have money, it's easy to start solving things with money, and that includes relationship maintenance. Buying your woman something nice or giving her high life quality is not nothing, but it shifts the focus from your company being the relationship reward, to the relationship reward being things, and that's no longer a relationship.
