Long time lurker, first time poster. Funny you mention this... I've been dating a girl for a couple years and have realized that she's basic (Starbucks, yoga pants, north face jackets, social media, works in marketing, hobbies include drinking champagne and watching Netflix, etc...). Quite frankly, she's boring. But she's nice as hell, attractive, obedient, an amazing cook, amazing family, etc... My question is, at what point is a bitch too basic?
[–]moodymela 10 points11 points12 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
The most interesting people I've ever met, both women and men, have always been the most unstable. I'm not saying it's a correlation, just something I've noticed. So just decide what's more important to you.

Sometimes it's best to take a walk on the wild side. But of course, never sleep with a woman whose troubles are greater than one's own.

You expect too much mate.
The kind of hobbies you have in your head are probably tied into risk taking. Either physical risk, risk of rejection or risk of failure. None of these things appeal to women. They're not competitive by and large.
[–]MensaNominee 5 points6 points7 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
he kind of hobbies you have in your head are probably tied into risk taking.
Not at all. Is it too much to ask for a girl who is an enthusiast about anything? I mean, lets take OP's description...
social media, works in marketing, hobbies include drinking champagne and watching Netflix
Ok, so if you're into social media, why not create a blog or website and post content? Even if it's content on celebrity news or recapping reality television shows with her opinion?
If you're into champagne, at least know the full origins of the drink, how it's made, where it's from and the many types that exist (to a high level of understanding) and not just consuming mid-tier quality champagne and saying, "That tastes good"
If she's into movies, at least know the actors of her current binge show...know their previous movies and it's directors. Name some classics, their directors and notable actors. Be able to name some obscure "hood gangsta" flicks...fuck if you liked it, you saw it and rendered an opinion. Don't just watch Scandal or American Horror Story and render biased character judgments.

I've been encouraging a particular woman to explore and grow, to push the boundaries and find the world. Learn, attempt, embrace the variety of experience in the world.
It's only the sexual boundaries that appeal to her.
And her life is void apart from what a man creates and inputs into it.
It's fucking disappointing, but it is what it is.
Edit: To her credit, she has tried a bit but without the "special snowflake" / "men desire me" incentive, she's just not into it. Again, fucking disappointing but I know that's how it is.
[–]SuperSlavisWife 7 points8 points9 points 11 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Try getting her interested in creating things. Many women shy away from exploration (martial arts, travel, hiking) and that makes them appear closed to hobbies. But then you get them writing poetry, painting, knitting or flower arranging and suddenly they're hooked. Most women aren't drawn to adventure and exploration, instead, we're drawn to creating and nest-making.
You can even expand it. If she starts to enjoy cooking and painting, you can take her on a daytrip or out hiking and have her prepare a picnic and a box of paints so that when you get there she can set up the picnic and do some sketching. It's quite an incentive once she's already into cooking and art.

That's a good point. While men were often out exploring and hunting, the women were often making baskets, clothes, or other 'creative' tasks. I've noticed this before, where women that are otherwise uninspired come alive when they get to arrange flowers, or a room, or even cleaning.

When they claim their basic ass hobbies and interest are what make them "unique snowflakes"
[–]FaithfulJinn 18 points19 points20 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
at what point is a bitch too basic?
A bitch is never too basic as long as she remains loyal and attractive. I love basic bitches that are obedient.
When bitches AREN'T basic is usually when they create problems. Because like Mr Hackware just stated, the hobbies that would make a girl different are for men, and girls with masculine traits/hobbies are not to be wifed up.
Leave the beer drinking, MMA, and wrench turning to the men. Go put on that tiny little dress and make me something in the kitchen.
[–]MensaNominee 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Leave the beer drinking, MMA, and wrench turning to the men.
But these aren't the only Hobbies. A girl can paint, cook, be a connoisseur of sorts, read, be a philanthropist, volunteer, politics, etc. but it's rare that women do any of this with any degree of true passion or enthusiasm and more so do it out of being able to say they did and put it on a resume; thus missing an opportunity to educate or better themselves in any way.
[–]makethemsayayy 15 points16 points17 points 11 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link
Well that's the point of my post. They're all fucking basic.
They don't NEED to be interesting like men. They're told they're special snowflakes and perfect princesses their entire lives. So they don't develop any real hobbies, discover anything about themselves, or be interesting. They're told everything they do is interesting by all the beta-guys wanting to fuck them.
When do you think a bitch is too basic? I mean my first girlfriend rode horses. She drinks Starbucks all the time, but her parents bought her these 70k horses and she rides them in Dressage. But I mean deep down she's pretty fucking basic and I can predict everything she does.
But I mean, they're all basic, I guess we have to keep getting to know bitches until we find one who really isn't basic.
[–]throwaway_pgh 6 points6 points6 points 11 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
I guess my question is, is basic a bad trait? Or do I live with that fact? Do I look for someone who isn't basic?
[–]makethemsayayy 4 points5 points6 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think we look and look until we find a bitch who isn't basic. They're out there, but they probably do some drugs. And they're probably crazy. They would have to be, I don't think a stable woman in a normal life has the capacity to be interesting. They just don't fucking have to. Again the beta-guys tell them how interesting they are (not).
[–]LMS_THEORY_ 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Inclination is to look for one that isn't basic (AKA unicorn) but in the era of instant social media validation and online dating sites there's no incentive to evolve into something beyond basic. Women just don't care about personal development unless the catastrophic occurs.

Personally, I'm fine with a boring, basic bitch as long as she's down for whatever I find interesting at the moment.
[–]ex_astris_sci 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It depends on the type of social circles you are in. I know I wouldn't be able to say that about most of my female colleagues because we're in the same field to which we've dedicated so much of our lives (obviously, we share a common passion). Some of them do tend to be obsessed with social media, conform to trends etc but their contribution to the field compensates for it.
[–]Gravityflexo 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
But if they are all basic, your gonna have a hard time finding one that isn't
If you put it like that, EVERYONE is basic. Oh, he plays baseball, oh look at that a scholarship for baseball...oh look at that, graduated with a bach. in (insert field of choice), oh look at that he makes 70k a year at 24 years old, oh look at that he's marrying a trophy wife, oh look at that he does his own renovations and yardwork, oh look he's 35 and paid off a big loan and now he's buying an expensive sports car....
[–]ArchetypalSage 1 points1 points1 points 11 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
I disagree. In this case, NAWALT. If you have an interesting lifestyle (where you spend time in social circles with similar interests) you will undoubtedly meet higher quality women that will be way more fun to be around than the average chick you're describing, since you'll naturally have a lot of shared interests. Mark Manson talks about this in his book, check it out if you haven't yet.
[–]rpscrote 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
yeah, and those chicks have a dramatically increased chance to have fucked a ton of dudes. Know the type, fucked the type. Go ahead and try to convince yourself somehow this particular adventurous chick has somehow drawn the line and decided to be adventurous except with men. You'll be very disappointed when your oneitis ends up being easy and has no loyalty whatsoever.
They ARE more interesting and fun. But they come with more issues. And waaaaaay less reliability and loyalty. They are constantly surrounded by higher than average value men. They definitely sleep around more and have the baggage to match
Plate em, don't LTR em is my current strategy. My knowledge about these kinds of chicks comes from bitterly won experience.
I said that NAWALT in regards to being an interesting/enjoyable person, meaning that you can find women with shared interests and hobbies if you go to the right places...there are plenty of chicks into surfing, cooking, running, astronomy, snowboarding, sailing, music...you name it. OP said that women are all basic/boring which is really not the case, and honestly if you think that you're better off jerking off than going out there to spend time with all these horrible women.
That being said, chicks are hard wired all the same and TRP principles will apply for both interesting and boring chicks. So IMO if you're gonna deal with that anyway, better if it's with the interesting ones...
EDIT: Not sure where you got the idea of oneitis/LTR from my post, but that's not what I meant at all.
[–]rpscrote 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Finding chicks via mutual adventurous hobbies is good for ONS/plates. Done it myself. Why I bring up the oneitis issue is because when you find a very interesting chick, who likes the same hobbies as you and is hot... well that's exactly when oneitis kicks in, and a lot of the time they aren't LTR material so the oneitis is supremely terrible to have. tl:dr; stay frosty
[–]MensaNominee 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
A bitch is too basic when her actions, appearance and interests bring you shame or any other negative emotional response on a consistent basis.
[–]k33p1tc00l0 points 11 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
I'd say you've got too basic. It is what it is, you get different traits and experiences than with a girl who works by dancing in nightclubs, for example, which requires the girl to have more than a basic body at least. I don't know any girls with true model bodies who do a job that doesn't utilize it, or they don't work (I.e. got snatched up).
[–]moodymela 28 points29 points30 points 11 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
I disagree that all women are "basic bitches". I will say this though: every woman I have ever head describe another woman as a basic bitch exhibited all the same characteristics she was mocking. In other words most women that call other women basic bitches are basic bitches.
[–]justaguy9 11 points12 points13 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yea... typical pot calling the kettle black.
Basic bitch (or simply basic) is a slang term in American popular culture used to describe bland, ordinary people – usually but not always women – whose preference for certain name-brands or products with mass appeal demonstrates their uncritical conformity, lack of originality or coolness
[–]NoRegretj 4 points5 points6 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
This is a very important metaphor, since swallowing the pill, I've noticed they spew, and I mean spew, consistent remarking and nonstop bringing these traits up; especially when there is an attractive member of the opposite sex around, this nonsense on what they "are not like" and it turns out to be exactly what they are.

Yeah, it's actually called projection. Psychologically, anyway. Pushing your interior problems onto others, or seeing your interior problems in the actions of others.

There are a lot of women who do a lot of different things. I met many during my time at college...and I didn't want to fuck a single one.
Rarely is a woman getting shit done while also being attractive. At the most they are usually on the lower end of fuckable or cute.
[–]makethemsayayy 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hm, the most I've found were hippy drug chicks who took acid that were somewhat interesting. But a lot of them STILL had the same stupid mindset and worshipped their dumb hippy boyfriend as some pseudo-Jesus philosopher.
He talked about acid with some great speech and build-up and then took off his hat and hat to reveal there was a matt of semi-dreaded hair. He looked around paused and waited, as if he had just said "ta-daa!" and nobody understood the trick.
lol, so later my friend remarked how "he was like ta-daaaa!"
[–]Ah_ok 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Exactly. The women men pay attention to do not overlap with the women who are actually interesting and productive. Most attractive women are attractive because they are actively trying to be so (thus their focus is on men.) Ambitious, interesting women are not focused on men, and thus not focused on being attractive.

Yeah. Women are boring. I figured this out even before finding TRP. I've even heard women admitting that women are boring.
And yes, women are hypocritical, a lot of the times. Ever heard a slutty chick calling another girl a slut?
Women are the carrots that are dangled in front of betas to keep society moving. That's their role. To show up and fish resources.
When you realize this, you begin to wonder why one spends so much energy chasing them.
Oh, and beware of chicks who appear interesting. It can be an act they put on to make you think they're different but their "interest factor" is obviously superficial.
"Basic Bitch" is probably the most perfect 'insult' for women that's come out in recent times.

Women are the carrots that are dangled in front of betas to keep society moving. That's their role. To show up and fish resources. When you realize this, you begin to wonder why one spends so much energy chasing them.
But brah, TRP is about sexual strategy. You don't improve for yourself, you do everything to get laid and make chasing pussy your mission! Pussy is the meaning of life, I'm high on pussy while I type this because I can smell the HB8's cunt juice from across the room! /s
PUAs, fucking hate 'em. PUAs are basic motherfucking men. They have no real hobbies. All they give a shit about is getting laid. All the hobbies they have other than getting laid, were only taken up to help them get laid. You know those women who hang out in libraries and golf courses because they want a beta bux but are dumb as fuck and hate golf? That's what PUAs are like. EG: he does salsa dancing (to get laid) he reads books like art of seduction and how to make friends and influence people (to get laid.) He doesn't actually have any interests in and of themselves, a musical skill, a physical hobby (martial art/welding) or anything, everything he is interested in is a fucking extension of getting laid. To him, everything independent of getting laid should just be a way to boost your chances of getting laid.
Because PUAs are small-minded, sex is their primary focus, they don't give a shit about anything else. And if you aren't a PUA or some frantic plate spinning club rat and instead you regulate your libido with porn/hookers/one or two FWBs or just have a low-maint LTR, then because being an international playboy/lothario isn't your style, you're clearly a faggot of some kind who "doesn't get TRP." Seduction has it's place and is necessary no doubt, but it doesn't need to become "the main thing" that you do in life.
That's why I fucking hate puas, they're always pushing their bullshit priorities of "pussy over everything" onto everybody else. They're like crazy incels, except they're high on the whiff of cunt because they're drowning in it and can't see out of it. Cunt theory: when the absence of cunt or an excess of cunt drives you totally fucking bonkers. PUAs, the successful ones anyway, are the stark raving opposite of an incel. I've never respected men who had pussy high up on their list of priorities, it's just not that important once you have a way to get sexual release. It's why I was never a part of the predecessor communities like seddit, because dedicating your life to pussy acquisition always seemed like a very retarded priority to me.
Sure if you can't get ANY PUSSY you may need the tips and what not, nothing wrong with game/becoming attractive. But dedicating your entire lifestyle to that? That's not for me, that's why I wish the guys who dedicate their lives to that would stop pushing their ethos/way of life onto others (they're usually the most vocal at shouting down guys who give way less fucks about pussy than them.) They particularly give MGTOWs a hard time, who tend to just fap and fuck hookers. In my opinion getting off is like eating or drinking, it doesn't need to be this thing you centre your life around. Maybe some guys are basic enough to enjoy centering their life around that shit, but the smarter among us want more out of life. There's a lot more to masculinity than simply getting laid, and although that's a central point it's not the sole point. PUA's don't seem to get that. They want to define your masculinity as your ability to rack up notches and that's it. They're done. They are the basic bitches among men.
[–]1aguy01 -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nah, the guy that just plays games and faps is the male equivalent of a basic bitch. A PUA that builds his life to get pussy is still developing a difficult skill and taking real, uncomfortable risks to achieve his goals. Motivation is multi-faceted, and just because someone uses pussy to motivate them to go to the gym doesn't mean they aren't also motivated by the physical and mental benefits and the practicing of discipline. The pursuit of pussy is a proactive approach to life, as long as you are doing it and aren't just a keyboard warrior.
I'm not sure why you think PUA's are so judgmental and single-minded. There are ignorant people in every group, and when you participate in a forum that has a specific purpose you should expect people to be passionate about the subject.

Yeah, unfortunately their "interest" in something non-mainstream is almost always an act. I used to get excited when a girl would say she's "really into" something that I was... but once you start digging below the surface, you ask her some pretty simple questions about it and actually she doesn't know shit about it.
Now I don't fall for the bait, I don't even bother digging deeper, I just assume she is pretending.

Yup, originality is incredibly difficult to obtain and maintain. New ideas and choices are very hard to materialize and even riskier to impliment. Calling people basic means the person saying it isn't. It's a defense mechanism to cloud the uninspired mind of the speaker.

I mean how does a girl not be basic? Multicoloured dreadlocks and a liking for trance music. Dumpster diving for groceries. A fifth of vodka instead of the pumpkin spice latte. Nude selfies not gym selfies.
Next time you see a list of what "basic" girls do, think of the alternatives that are more "interesting" and shudder.

If you like black chicks then you're lucky, they are generally seen as low SMV and are therefore as thirsty as hell. If you're white you've satisfied the hypergamy right there without doing a thing.
Sportiness does not disqualify a girl from being called basic as far as I've seen the term used. Hippy and stoner girls, well see what I said about black girls.

unfortunately, no I hate black girls. They LOVE college white guys though, especially the hood ones, we're automatically 10's.

Hence the invention of the term "basic bitch" to try to get you looking at ordinary middle class white girls and wondering what's wrong with them. Nothing's wrong with them that isn't wrong with women in general. Pumpkin spice doesn't harm vaginas any more than collard greens would.

But the reason why they are all doing this basic shit is because it is trendy, and makes them feel like a part of something. Is doing yoga any worse if everyone else is doing it? It isn't really. I myself rarely do what everyone else does, but every once in a while it can be fun.
But yeah, calling out bitches that do it all the time is probably a good idea during a date, negative game.

Worrying about people being hypocritical is a waste of time. Worrying about women being hypocritical is an even bigger waste of time.
The idea that women are empathetic boggles my mind. They might be more sympathetic, but definitely not empathetic.
Simple point. My wife was on vacation with me during this past holiday break. So she goes one day to her parents. Her mom asks her why she's not dressed up. We're both off, so she should be dressed up to look nice for me. Her dad picks it up from the other end of the room and says a saying 'that's the pot calling the kettle black'. Her mother doesn't exactly try to look hot for her husband.
Similarly, my wife will comment on how these 'basic' bitches only interested in looking good, selfies... Then I look at her, and I ask myself, just what hobbies/interests/values does she really pursue? And this is a key point... how does she pursue them?
And I can't really answer it. She really wants to be about something. But in a certain way, the 'basic' girls are truer to who they are and that's a wonderful thing. Don't get me wrong, some women do have a passion. I work in technology and I have met a few, but certainly not most of them. I'm talking about the need of women to somehow define themselves as about something (other than family).
Funny enough, I was always pretty explicit about my love for basic girls. I was just never turned on by girls trying to be more... and when they do try and be more, it was more annoying to me than anything. Maybe is she was passionate/values about the same things I was, it might end up being attractive.
When modern women try and be more than basic because they think they need to be it just becomes expensive basic. They become foodies eating out at fancy restaurants or watching shows or feeling caring about every issue in the world at best. I remember a few years back, my friend dragged me out for company when he was reuniting with some high school girls who are now doctors/dentists. Maybe I'm getting old or something, but I literally couldn't stand to listen to them for more than a few minutes. It was actually painful. The difference in case I didn't make the point was: they weren't becoming expert chefs in their foodie movement, they were just eating out. They weren't becoming actors/singers/dancers, they were just watching shows. Nothing wrong with either as a form of entertainment, but to them it was being about something.
Never does this annoy me more than in 'poor third world' comments. Maybe more so as I come from the third world would have been classified as in poverty when we moved to Canada. This form of charity is not being 'about anything' its just publicizing how bad things make you feel. I don't know how many times I have to hear about these rich girls traveling to some poor country for vacation and seeing the poverty and then seeking recognition about it, like they've come to some sort of great moral discovery that poverty is bad!
Just as a disclaimer. There is nothing wrong with charity or understanding poverty. I think it is obvious I wasn't saying that. I'm just saying, I think this form of it comes more from a place of feeling and status and trying to be about something, than anything else. In the end, not much different from the girl just taking the selfie.
Most women do hate the term basic bitch. But I really think you have it the wrong way. Why would you want them to APPEAR interesting? If they are genuinely interesting, it is great. I love it when I find a girl who has her own interest, be it Yogo, painting, art, belly dancing... But that fake interesting is the absolute worst.
I'm going to be empathetic here (see my male empathy kicking in) and imagine this is how females feel about fake thug guys. It is the worst. The guy is actually a pussy, but acts like a thug because he think he should APPEAR tough. Maybe he can con some stupid women this way. And maybe some women can fake being about something for some stupid man, but why would you think this is a positive thing?
If you're a woman who just likes a nice home life, kids, a husband to have sex with, some social rep by posting selfies... great! Be who you are. If you're a guy who just like to go to work, come home, be with the family, go out every now with the boys for some pointless drinking... great!
The other sad thing of course is that in areas that might naturally peak a woman's interest. They sometimes feel that is not being about something because it is a traditional woman's role. Take something like cooking. Just as great as any hobby I can think of as a man. Yet, some modern women don't think this is a hobby. It has come back around due to the big food movement, but hopefully you get the point.
Then you have the extreme antithesis to being a "basic-bitch" which is being a hipster...so, what would be the median?
Nothing wrong with basicness. As the man, it is your job to provide the "interesting." Be valuable and bring value.
Watch out for girls who are super busy/"interesting". Almost always fuck a lot of dudes and have baggage. Almost always are so busy and interesting because they can't stand to be alone (red flag for baggage). If you think a girl is going to be adventurous everywhere except with dating/fucking, you're gonna have a bad time. Been there, done that.
The only viable strategy I can see is a girl who's had the inkling to do some more interesting things but never has gotten around to it. You can lead her to do these things. Demonstrate your leader qualities, structure the activities so it doesn't involve a surplus of single, interesting men... Likely you'll have to grab her young enough where she hasn't had the opportunity yet. Basically did something kinda like this for a while successfully. Or do you think your little sweetie who plays volleyball with all those tall well muscled men regularly never has any ideas about them?

makes fun of simple (white girls) who get super excited over Starbucks
What women say about women doesn't matter - they're all crabs in a bucket: the only way out is menopause.
Alas, getting excited about the simple things isn't "basic" or "simple" or bad; it's zest for life, a desirable trait.
What makes someone a basic bitch is not having any depth to them beyond these surface activities, which most people are required to partake in to be able to relate to common folk and make friends on some functional level.

Who gives a shit tbh? I dont expect much from a woman.
[–]Vodkas21 -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes, hence AWALT. AWALT is obviously an exaggeration but the majority of women(what we're interested in) are like that.
