Overweight people typically have too much of the following: soda (or juice), deep fried foods, and/or dessert (cookies, cakes, ice cream etc).

When people say "fast food" is bad for you, they are oversimplifying things. A pepperoni pizza or a cheeseburger is far superior to that junk mentioned above.

Frankly it astonishes me that adults in first world countries still eat that junk

Spread-Em-Plz · 2022-02-08T18:22:48+00:00

Remember how a while back I theorized that women underestimate their strength gap because a lot of their experience with male strength comes from being able to play-fight on equal terms with their brothers and cousins when they were little?

The other night, I was on the phone with the girl I'm talking to and she basically all but confirmed it.

That is indeed where a LOT of girls' miscalculations come from.

These days on PPD, morons have twisted the term Red Pill into "any man I disagree with or don't like"

Slipthe · 2022-02-08T17:57:25+00:00

I want to get to the meat of this topic. ^{^heh}

Is it masculine to suck dick, be penetrated or to be sexually submissive to a man? It is more masculine to be the one penetrating?

And what's the psychology of gay and bi men who only top?

Is it masculine when women take this position in sex?

Does anyone find that if you consume too much red pill content (or any of this gender war/rage content), it poisons your mind?

I am watching less and less of the content. Unsubscribed from channels like Taylor The Fiend, Darius M and Fresh and Fit. They are nothing more than red pill rage channels designed to get you angry about women and the world. I stopped watching Entrepreneurs in Cars, he is just recycling content and his bitterness about women and life was beginning to annoy me. Rollo Tomassi rambles for 2+ hours on stream about nothing, I stopped watching him a while ago. I'm also using this subreddit a lot less.

It's difficult to get away from it fully. My youtube feed pops up with videos about it even when I say I'm not interested in the content.

What most people think is TheRedPill is typically blackpill, TheRedPill almost always give solid nuanced advice about handling situations like a man. Not hating women, or even being indifferent to them. It's about navigating life within your best interests and handling your shit. Raising your individual value as a man and enjoying the fruits of your labor within reason.

I don't even know how it goes so misrepresented most of the time to insight the hate around it. There's alot of people who conflate them together.

I have a first date in 3 hours. Cute little Asian chick. So far she almost called it off because I told her I was a grad student (she's looking to "sattle" down apparently) and just sent me a song where the chorus is about wanting your partner to heal your psychic wounds, be the remedy, when will my pain end...

Many, maybe even most, women have a distorted view of what a fit male body looks like. You've been complaining about unrealistic beauty standards for years, but you're okay with men using steroids because it appeals to you. Shameful.

Something I’ve learnt from mainstream feminists, SJWs, MGTOW, and incels:
People who demand pity are the most selfish narcissistic people you’ll ever meet.
MGTOW/Incels demand people feel sorry for their problems but usually laugh about women’s problems.
Mainstream Feminists and SJWs demand people feel sorry for women and minorities while pretending straight white cis males don’t have their own problems.

MasterTeacher123 · 2022-02-08T12:42:24+00:00

I’ve noticed a lot of women are homophobic but the difference between them and men is men are much more likely to shout it from the rooftops while women will keep their true opinions on the down low(see what I did there).

Been looking a bit for a school for my youngest. So we visited a small private school which looked really nice. Not least because it is founded and run by a Danish-Cambodia couple. Although the curriculum is Singapore based. But then they said they also had two American teachers. And I have a zero tolerance policy to all the woke bullshit coming out of the USA, so now I'm super wary.

Just keep all that shit to yourself ok.

TrueRateMe is such a joke sub. Like I am going through the ratings and they have this rigid narrow idea of what beauty means. The scale makes no sense to me. It feels like they took everyone's sane scale and crushed all the 6 to 8 down to 5 to 6 and took 9 to 10 down to 7 to 9.

No_Kaleidoscope_4540 · 2022-02-08T09:44:15+00:00

I think this has to be said(mainly to the guys round my age, 23), casual sex is overrated, if you think otherwise, you might just be down bad.

I get being sad cause you can't get any at all, but complaining about not doing it with a stranger every now and again is just childish and pathetic man, I'm sorry but it is, cause how on earth do you justify it?

If casual sex is high risk low reward for women, why do some insist that there is nothing wrong with it?

kissmetilyouredrunk · 2022-02-08T06:01:05+00:00

So many of the things you guys talk about as "men's problems" are human problems. Like if you were the female equivalent of what you are now:

You'd still wish you were more attractive
You'd be jealous of Stacy instead of Chad
You'd struggle to get your romantic needs met (and your your sexual ones, too, since vaginas are more difficult to please than penises)
You'd feel like desirable men have power over you, the way women do right now
You'd want people out of your league. The heart wants what it wants
You'd get rejected and get your heart broken, feel like you're not hot and interesting enough, and maybe be right

I always wonder what the SOs of women who wear extremely heavy makeup are thinking. How do they deal with the 3 - 4 pt difference in looks? I can’t imagine maintaining the same attraction for a male SO if he had a toupee and fake facial hair he took off every night.

Old 60 Minutes video on height and dating.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbG05ePWRQE&t=658s

Absolutely brutal. Not blaming women. Just a tragic situation for some of these guys.

I mean wow. Didn't think 60 Minutes would be this brutal.

They literally have to pile on the accolades to a short guy until he is literally a God, before the women choose him.

Doctor. Not enough. And author. No. Gourmet Chef and Head of Surgery. Nope. Also rich as fuck, and all the other guys are convicts. OK. Maybe. (But now I just want the money.)

Mark_Freed · 2022-02-08T04:19:43+00:00

I don’t think there is much merit in the jokes that trp guys are in the closet gay and their fascination with Chad is homoerotic.

But….. I’m wondering if there is a latent NTR fetish in the guys who are drawn to such narrative of a more dominant alpha guy “stealing” their girl. It’s almost like they want to be paranoid. To better understand the manosphere it might be worth deconstructing the cuckcold fetish.

WilliamWyattD · 2022-02-08T03:50:40+00:00

To what extent is the anger about 'sexual inequality' a similar envy reaction to other forms of envy, like financial inequality? Would less attractive people be happier if they were not constantly exposed to images and narratives of sexy people flirting and fucking with other sexy people on TV and other media?

Do you think it would be easier to be less attractive, with the sex life (or lack thereof) that comes with it if the active and exciting sex lives of beautiful people were not always paraded before you, and treated as 'normal' or 'essential life experiences' that uglier people now feel they have somehow missed out on? Is modern society essentially taunting the less attractive, rubbing their noses in their situation?

As an update I went with the Razor Basilisk for my mouse. Which is different than what everyone recommended lol.

I didn't want to deal with that 1-2 millisecond lag from wireless mice, and my set up already isn't aesthetic since I still have a wired keyboard. Right off the bat I like this mouse because every other mouse I've had before had that anti-slip rubbery coating on it that rubs off after a year. And this is just plastic. And this has an extra three thumb buttons, and the scroll wheel can be clicked left and right for more button interaction. Which comes in handy if design programs and games allow it.

SeaSquirrel · 2022-02-08T02:40:35+00:00

Free tip for anyone doing the online dating game:

You need to see the profiles you are up against. Either ask a friend of the opposite gender if you can do some swiping, or make a fake profile. If you were starting a business, wouldn’t you first want to scope out your competition?

A few years ago I went on a tinder date where we swapped phones and swiped on eachothers accounts. It was a gamechanger. 95% of Tinder profiles, even if they’re super atractive, are really fucking boring and mostly the same. You have to experience what its like swiping from the other side to understand what stands out.

I changed all my photos to ones I now knew for a fact would stand out, and also be potential conversation starters. I tweaked my bio to be more different than the hundreds of bios I read (jokes are less funny after you’ve read 100 of them). My matches went big up, and I matched with my SO a month later based entirely on my new profile picture.

DrinkItInMan11 · 2022-02-07T23:34:05+00:00

In The Thread about how to identify Red Pill Men:

Women explaining a largely cartoonish caricature of what they believe a Red Pill guy is without knowing how a Red Pill guy behaves in a date scenario.

A Red Pill guy isn't going to bring up RP shit during a date, he's going to act oblivious to all RP teachings, as far as you know he doesn't know what Red Pill is. I saw a few go "Ask him questions about sex work, dating dynamics etc. and he'll reveal himself"

You know we just lie in that situation right? We're not going to tell what we actually think, only the newest and dumbest RPers do that shit. If a woman asks me about sex work and my thoughts (I'm fairly indifferent do whatever you want, I wouldn't date a sex worker though) I'd probably lie. At the end of the day on not looking for commitment because commitment is a joke.

But Jesus Christ, all the women in there saying "He'll bring up how unfair dating is and all these other RP terms"

No, literally nobody does that, because they know it's detrimental.

Men on this sub be like: "all I ask is for women to be consistent." No shit, dude. That's one of the most reasonable things a man on here can say. Honest to God, I feel the same way about you men, and I feel it in my soul.

Don't like dual mating strategy? Then stop "plating sluts" while you look for your future virginal forever girlfriend. Don't claim that a man's cheating on the side is somehow different from a woman's, and don't get mad when someone judges you for your own dual strategy of some sort.

Have a sexual strategy where you want a LTR and a low sociosexuality? That's great, and as a matter of fact I encourage you to open the conversation about sexual past and sexual boundaries with your more serious dates/interests. If you a washed up player, though, stuff it. I see consistency as important myself, and I get it. That is all.

Guys who say "it would be much better if I were gay. Things would be so much easier" (for things like hookups)

Would you change your sexuality if you could? Take the "gay pill"?

...

If the answer to the above is yes you would.

Have any of you actually tried? Either hooking up with guys, watching gay porn or listening to straight to gay hypnosis.

Was talking about mRNA and CRISPR earlier, check this out.

https://old.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/snqwp3/first_patient_in_uk_given_vaccine_for_cancer_in/

Graham Booth was first diagnosed and treated for cancer in 2011. Five years later, his "biggest fear" was confirmed when it returned in 2016, again in 2019, and two more times in 2021.

After undergoing surgery to remove a large part of his jaw, tumours, and surrounding tissue in his mouth, followed recently by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, doctors have told him that if his cancer were to return again - which they believe is likely - there would not be much more they could do.

Graham has now become the first UK patient to take part in a groundbreaking cancer vaccine trial and feels "in a certain sense" it is his last hope.

Man I'm gonna get all the fuckin drugs.

cautionTomorrow555 · 2022-02-07T23:50:36+00:00

interested in the overlap between RP men here and men's rights activists. I'd consider the Venn diagrams to be a circle in this sub.

Yet i was talking to my "naturally" (non-internet) RP partner the other day and he said something like, "it's bad to exploit women and children" and i said "but not men?" and he said "nah, fuck men"

Seems irl, RP men don't have this "mansphere attachment" seen on the internet. RP isn't inherently related to this topics either, it's just "get hot, get good, get women"

So... how did social justice become intertwined with sexual success on the internet? And are there any guys here who are RP but don't identify with men's rights narratives and groups?

343_peaches_and_tea · 2022-02-08T19:41:32+00:00

I think Im recognizing what my real problem is with relationship shit, and its just the intrusive sexual/relationship knee jerk thoughts. I think places like this have a tendency to add onto those thoughts as well, especially if you already have a bias against the opposite sex.

So now whenever I get one of those Im just going to divert the attention to cooking ideas. With any luck I'll train my libido to be really into food and just pop boners whenever I'm cooking. Wish me luck.

Most of the RP complaints come from AWLAT, Im seeing. But I think what can be gleaned is, if a man acts like AWALT exists in mate finding he can protect himself from being blindsided by certain pitfalls in dating, while maximising his success.

Of course even if it wasnt meant to be taken literally it probably is by a lot of guys now, so not much good this post does.

Getting addicted to pretty much anything is not the way to go, let me just say that right off the bat, but fellas anytime a woman tries to shame you or dissuade you from watching porn because it's "not realistic" or it "desensitizes you" do not take them seriously when they have oh so "realistic" shit like this going on, unless one of you is Michael J.Fox, to the best of my knowledge dicks don't vibrate with multiple settings 🤣

So if any of you have used the 3d rendering software Blender, how difficult is it to learn on a scale of 1 - 10?

and if you suck at drawing in real life does that mean you'd also suck at 3d stuff or is it not directly comparable?

I am curious if anyone has done an ROTC program for graduate school? I have the opportunity to do a two years master's right after my undergraduate and then I would serve for 4 years as an officer and it seems like a really good deal. I would have a decent job lined up and a master's degree at around 23-24 and if I wanted to have a family at around 27 it would work well with benefits. Any input on this is helpful since I think this sub has some pretty smart people.

Question for french people/people who have in depth knowledge about french culture:

How likely would it be for a french woman to specifically remark "Ooh la la" during a sexual encounter.

The reason I am curious is because I was talking to my SB the other day, and I (half) jokingly told her I wanted her to say "Ay papi" during sex. She found it funny, but could sense I was half serious, and questioned why.

I told her that it would be "Iconic". Basically, something that I would really associate with experiencing latin culture. Like almost on par with seeing a historical site or reknown piece of art. I didnt press for her to do it though, im feeling like asking a girl to do it tho, for the novelty factor. This new girl I had sex with today, did not know any english. She kept saying "Que rico" during sex. That was pretty lit, but didnt quite scratch the itch that "ay papi" would have.

Sad face.

Anyways, I know now that I want a french girl to say ooh la la while sucking my dick. Would they be offended if I asked them to? Or is there a decent probability they might do so naturally?

😀

Trigger warning, I will talk about sexual assault a bunch in this post.

There was a thread last week about how women must worry about safety while dating. I asked for stats on the odds of being raped on a first date, or any given date, and was left unsatisfied. I am bored on a flight with wifi so here is my attempt:

Method 1 (copied from that post):

Commenter has said: "stats...show rape is not incredibly uncommon (1 in 5 women according to the NSRVC) with the stats that show 35% of rapes occurred during a date"

First Google search says that the average single woman dated 25 men in a year in the UK in 2012. Who knows the current number but let's go with 25.

Let's say every woman was single only one year of their life (ridiculous assumption just to prove my point).

100 women, 2500 dates. Let's say 20% of them were raped, that means 20 of these women were raped. Like you said 35% of rapes happened during a date, so of these 20 women, 7 of them were raped during a date.

That's 7 rapes in 2500 dates, or a .3% chance. 1 in 350 odds.

"According to the National Safety Council (NSC), an American's lifetime odds of dying in a car crash are 1 in 107 as of 2019."

In my fictional world where women are single for only one year and I apply all of our rape statistics, then a woman is likelier to die in a car crash on her life than to be raped on a date.

Method 2:

650k women were raped last year. Using the 35% date rape statistics from before, that's 225k date rapes.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/18/how-much-americans-spend-on-dating-at-every-age.html

The average person spent $700 in 2019 on dates and $77 per date, for a total of 9 dates a person. This aggregates genders which is definitely wrong, but we don't have women's per-date spend.

114 million singles in the US, of which half are women. So we have 57M women. The average single person went on 9 dates, so there were 500M dates in the US last year.

225k date rapes divided by 500M dates gives a 1 in 2000 chance. For perspective, 1 in 2000 are the "low-rise" odds of a baby being born with Down's Syndrome.

Two big question marks above: the 35% date rape number and the assumption that equal numbers of women and men go on dates. However the order of magnitude might not change. If every rape in 2019 was first date rape, we are still in the 1/600 camp.

I think this jives with the common understanding that rape by spouses or close contacts is more prevalent that rape on a date with a relative stranger.

Did I miss anything PPD?
