Acronyms and codewords are lame

Was this complaint really worth a new thread? People will type how they want to type. Why do you even care?

You know, the worst thing about all these acronyms is not that people use them and know what they mean (or not), but that they were

NOT INVENTED HERE

Translation: I don't know what these acronyms mean and I'm too lazy to find out so they should be banned.

While most of the acronyms are unnecessary, although good shorthand, a lot of them are quite useful. IOI, for example, is a group of various signs of female attraction. It's simply much easier to say "I saw IOIs" instead of explaining "Well she playfully made eye contact, played with her hair, and then accidentally brushed her tits against me."

Every group utilizes acronyms and codewords, not only to shorten typing, but to standardize ideas. There's no intent to obfuscate or be exclusive. Hence the reason we have a glossary.

Furthermore, you know TRP is a direct extension of game/seduction right? In the "Welcome to The Red Pill"

The Red Pill: Discussion of sexual strategy..

The suggestion that using acronyms to communicate ideas is passive-aggressive is just idiotic. "Hamstering" vs. "Rationalizing her emotions or actions, even though they have no logical basis" speaks for itself on the basic utility. Or "riding the carousel" vs "spending years pursuing casual sex with high value, attractive males in spite of the fact that she herself isn't high value enough to secure commitment from them with the goal in mind of eventually pursuing less high value males for commitment."

TL;DR Acronyms and codewords are useful, not beta, and TRP comes from game anyway.

If people disliked the acronyms so much, there would be a plugin to translate. Maybe you could just write one instead of bitching on the Internet?

NAWALT is much faster than typing NOT ALL WOMEN ARE LIKE THAT.
