Oy, lad. How about you give me an hand and point out where can I find an answer in that big pile of text?

I got a special tip for you, boy: No one likes a parrot, but I wouldn't call you one since I would actually prefer to use one of those funny definitions this subreddit has: "Follower. Sombody who validates others, men & women alike. Beta traits display low value to women. Beta can also be used to describe individual behaviors."

[–]strosst 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link

Dull because you use terms like "Alpha", a chav, and "Beta", a man which probably lacked a proper father figure, and because you actually believe that you can actually classify people with these terms.

Why exactly can't we classify people with these terms?

Hypocritical because you set a couple of requirements for women, but find it horrible and bitchy when they too have a set of them.

The fuck? We know women have standards, no one said that's a bad thing. Are you just playing dumb or something?

The sick obsession with women makes you look weak and threatened just as like a minority begging for recognition and attention or like a small elite plotting their way into power.

Finding TRP usually starts with getting burned by a girl, yeah. Obviously most of the advice is geared towards being attractive towards women. So what?

I don't believe you are acquainted with medium and realistic terms. A reasonable man is probably better suited than Alpha and a troubled man is better suited than Beta, don't you think?

This doesn't even make any sense, lol.

Actually, I, too, had hatred for women once, but I got older and became an adult and with time I discovered that both sexes are practically the same.

Nope. I'm definitely not surprised you had a hatred for women though.

You tell me that there aren't men who fucked their way into power just as like many women do. Or dating someone based on her/his looks. You people want to became men? Then drop the superior sex act.

We never said they didn't, wtf are you on? We also never said that men are better than women, just different.

[–]Chtuw[S] -5 points-4 points-3 points 12 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link

a-I never said you couldn't I said they were dull. b-But you do say it's a bad thing seeing as the majority of the board is misogynistic. c-Because attractive women are the specific women TRP hates. d- It seems that you are the one playing dumb now. e-No point if quoting this since it was only an intro to a statement. f-Why are you so defensive? This whole reddit is full of ammunition towards women and you are telling that you never said that or this? Who's really playing stupid now?

If only I had the time. EDIT: Down voting me for an answer with not even a shred of impoliteness? Seems like this subreddit has an issue or two with opinions. :)

[–]shakaldrogo 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

Seems like you care a lot about pointless internet points. You should read the sidebar & better your needy behaviour for approval.

[–]Chtuw[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago* (7 children) | Copy Link

But I don't. By the contrary, I couldn't careless about such petty points which are used to ostracise what you don't want to hear like complete juveniles, but in the other hand, this subreddit seems to care about such pointless points since they downvoted since only those who cherish their own points would care enough to downvote someone else. I'm new to this thing you called reddit. As I said before - before my answer got edited - Needy behaviour? I thought that was a thing of yours since you had your spotlight with the epic "g-learn to format lol pwned :)" post.

[–]shakaldrogo 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

Needy behaviour? I thought that was a thing of yours since you had your spotlight with the epic "g-learn to format lol pwned :)" post.

Lol wut? You really do need to learn formatting because your comments get confusing.

Whoever downvoted you doesn't care about those internet points. It doesn't benefit them by downvoting you. They clearly touched a nerve because you're still banging on about it which renders it important to you.

[–]Chtuw[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

They care enough to click. I commented on a fact it is you who's constantly pushing the subject. Kid, listen, I came here knowing I was going to get trash and crap from people who were to be all defensive about their sanctuary of men's club. I knew this was going to happen I only commented on how childish it was.

[–]shakaldrogo 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

I only brought it up once "kid". You got offended & tried to defend your reason for having worried about the downvoting. I then called you out on it, which now leads to you defending yourself about not having tried to defend yourself on the matter.

It touched you mate. It's ok to admit it. You really like to watch your internet points because one simple downvote means your ego/pride goes down with it as well.

[–]Chtuw[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Well I can do is to sigh. You brought it up thrice by now, actually. But if it makes you feel better I'll say that I really care about those points. Now, please, refrain from talking to me again. You are the type of person I really want to avoid.

[–]shakaldrogo1 point 12 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

But if it makes you feel better I'll say that I really care about those points. Now, please, refrain from talking to me again.

Sounds like your type of "feel good bullshite". It's alright lad, if it makes you sleep well & feel better about yourself. Keep lying to yourself or take the red pill & see the truth. I know you connect to one of those stories over on the sidebar. Go ahead & read. I promise I won't judge you & you don't have to like everything. Read and tell me you haven't heard at least 3 stories like that & i'll show you a liar.

[–]Chtuw1 point 12 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

This is why reddit is a laughing stock in other social circles in the internet. And let me explain this misunderstood: I'm only talking to you because I'm polite and I don't want ignore someone who's talking at me, but you are like a child screaming for attention and no one wants that do they? Please, I'm going to have to ask to refrain from talking to me.

[–]shakaldrogo1 point 12 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

This is why reddit is a laughing stock in other social circles in the internet.

Yet here you are, four months later.

I'm only talking to you because I'm polite and I don't want ignore someone who's talking at me, but you are like a child screaming for attention and no one wants that do they? Please, I'm going to have to ask to refrain from talking to me.

You asked for answers, you got them. Take it or leave it. I'm not holding you hostage here to talk to me.

but you are like a child screaming for attention and no one wants that do they?

Yet, again you submit a post not even knowing what you really want to get from it hence its removal . I've only replied to your comments. You've posted a "holier than thou" post seeking to somehow prove you're/know better than the whole site & this subreddit ( a failed attempt). Who's the real attention seeker here?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Dull because you use terms like "Alpha", a chav, and "Beta", a man which probably lacked a proper father figure, and because you actually believe that you can actually classify people with these terms.

Alpha and Beta here on the board is better used as a spectrum rather than a classification. Any one man is going to show both traits in varying quantities rather than one or the other.

It can be used in absolute terms, but then it's more a social classification based on position in the group.

You tell me that there aren't men who fucked their way into power just as like many women do.

Not in remotely the same proportion. This is a unicorn species you speak of.

Also, I'm absolutely hypocritical. I have a dick, but my lovers better not have one. I'm completely comfortable in that type of hypocrisy.

[–]Chtuw[S] -1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago* (4 children) | Copy Link

So, basically you are a beta in this subreddit since you follow a doctrine that you aren't either the creator or a leader in. Am I correct? So how about Alphas who have bosses? Can Alphas be betas from other Alphas? Do you see where I'm getting at? It's a confuse and dull system which is flawed.

Special unicorn? Maybe you are unacquainted that many young ambitious men who fuck cougars to get a touch of money and connections that they so desperately need to climb the ladder faster.

I don't find it confusing. You got it all wrong, again. I disagree with it and I hope that I have to point this again for the third time. Let me give you an example. I'm a person with very few friends, by choice, I hate dealing with friendships because I know that eventually knifes will be put on the table and someone is going to stab someone. I'm not a part of any group, matter a fact I hate groups and communities, I see people with need to belong or to feel close by to someone weak and easily crushed when cut off from the herd. One thing is to be influenced by X and the other is to follow X. This is where you see the strength of someone. I hope you understood my point. Beta and Alpha deep down boils down to unmeaningful terms which dismiss each other. I find this board philosophy dull as I said, really dull and basic.

Men also marry women for the same reason that women do. Are you that naive?

I wouldn't call it stoicism. That seems too harsh and extremist. I'm talking about intellectual independence. Exactly, but social animals aren't the cool guys everyone hangs out with, no. A social animal is someone who knows how to behave in which social occasion. Lion Vs Cheetah is a very funny case. How about if the Beta Lions want to make a coup d'etat to kill the alpha and the cheetah helps them out and after that kills them one by one?

1) Most people are satisfied with a modicum of success. They deep down just want a decent salary, decent girl that will love them, and one day a decent family. That is a reasonable goal. We fully understand you don't need RP to get any of that.

You seem to think that we have these extreme principles and ideas, and you're rightfully saying "Look, you don't need these ideas to get the average amount of sex, success, etc etc." Which is true. What you're forgetting this that the average amount of sex is PITIFUL, the average physical acheivements of men are shit, and the average intellectual development of people ends after college. When we say "take your body to the next level by lifting, become "alpha" in how you approach life, get charismatic, get the women you want, etc" we are saying that to a small % of society.

We are saying it to people who want to be in the elite. To be in the financial elite, you generally have to focus a ton on your business, your finances, your work ethic, etc etc. Some people will randomly get to be in that elite via birth, but others seeking to break the barrier between broke and ELITE, not just rich but top of the top, will have to get extreme.

So you are right. To get success with women, you don't need to do anything here. Learn to speak well, be normal, be confident, done. Shit, you don't even need that to get a girl - any moron can get a girl. Any girl can get a decent guy. We're not saying we are better or worse than that guy, we are simply saying that we want to be in the elite. Can you walk into a club and know that you can, fully sober, go up to girls and interact with the hottest ones without getting intimidated? Probably not. Can you say that you selected your wife/GF from a pool of several attractive, high quality women... or did you just take whoever came your way?

To those pursuing that top level of success, especially those who had bad circumstances early in life, like a absent father for example, they are going to have to work hard. They will have to get, as you say, extreme. You don't like RP because they are not doing what most guys are doing. Yet if you do what you've always done - or what everyone else does - then what do you get?

So in short, being reasonable is fine if you want a reasonable life. And most people do, which is why TRP does not focus on advertising. We do not care about recruiting - we do not want, as you say, for "all people to become men" or "the internet to take us seriously". We are not Mike Chang's Six Pack Secrets or The Dating Guru Method for Average Guys. Why would we, as you say, improve our diplomacy skills. We aren't missionaires trying to recruit people - in fact, to keep the focus on optimizing sexual strategy in the modern world, it helps to have newcomers be people who have already figured out how RP ideas are self-evident in reality. We need the extreme people - the people who have gone to great lengths, because they know things that a person who just grew up, dated Sally from his econ class, married her, etc, doesn't know. They may be wrong, but they at least contribute to the discussion.

Thumbs up and you are literally the first guy I upvoted in this website. Nice text and arguments. Thanks for your time and you better understand that I'm completely grateful for your time and patience. Even though you didn't quite get my ideas I since I was referring to be more moderate and reasonable with women and not an extremist like many. But, hey, good job. You have a good rhetoric, kid. You have a lot potential.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I'll bite. I've got some time to spare.

Dull because you use terms like "Alpha", a chav, and "Beta", a man which probably lacked a proper father figure, and because you actually believe that you can actually classify people with these terms.

Alpha and Beta aren't meant to be viewed as classes, but rather traits. Some people have more alpha traits than others, and, more often than not, succeed in life. To expand on this, a person can't be purely alpha, or beta, because we just don't work like that. We try to be as alpha as we can, because we want to be successful in life.

Hypocritical because you set a couple of requirements for women, but find it horrible and bitchy when they too have a set of them.

We fully accept that women expect us to have alpha characteristics (or a good mix of alpha and beta characteristics). It's not horrible or bitchy at all, it's just their nature, like how it's our nature to want a hot, supporting, faithful woman.

The sick obsession with women makes you look weak and threatened just as like a minority begging for recognition and attention or like a small elite plotting their way into power.

Well, I guess that's what we look like when we give shit-all about what other people think of us.

If you want to get political on this I advise you to be more moderate and to improve your diplomacy skills.

We don't want to get political.

Actually, I, too, had hatred for women once, but I got older and became an adult and with time I discovered that both sexes are practically the same.

Except for the fact that when we say we want something, we MEAN it.

What really differs which one of us is our ambition and thirst for being chosen to drink from the chalice of life. You tell me that there aren't men who fucked their way into power just as like many women do. Or dating someone based on her/his looks.

No qualms with the first part. Now, it's not easy for men to fuck their way into power. If you are a good looking man, and you blatantly go around asking women if they would sleep with you, you will get rejected 100% of the time. If you are a good looking woman, and you do the same (with men), you will only get rejected 50% of the time. (yes I'm referring to that youtube video) So, yes. Men want to have sex with women (statistically infinitely) more than women with men (from this data). Thus, there aren't as many men fucking their way into power. It's actually amazing that men get laid at all.

You people want to became men? Then drop the superior sex act.

If anything, we're probably the inferior sex. So, we have to make up for that by being assertive and looking out for our own interests, rather than give into the will of the superior sex for the slight sliver of hope of getting some.

This whole reddit reeks of Napoleon's Complex and petty arrogant men who find themselves narcissistically superior usually become a laughing stock.

I'm glad you find our confidence amusing.

I hope you too find a middle ground

We are the middle ground.

Right, and for your question:

A reasonable man is probably better suited than Alpha and a troubled man is better suited than Beta, Don't you think?

A reasonable man is useless if he doesn't have the spine, confidence, courage or integrity to defend his reason. All of which are alpha traits. Most women (and some men) are not reasonable. They make decision based on what they feel, rather than reason. That's why they cheat, lie, and have the capability to perform horrible acts, then justify it in the end. (Rationalization, hamsters spinning) That means you have to uphold reason, and doing that makes you alpha.

Beta men are troubled, but not all troubled men are beta. So, I guess you're right in that aspect.

From this post, I get the impression that you have alpha characteristics, but you are quite a narrow-mind in that you can't see things from another person's point of view. So, before you judge, how about you spend a day in another man's shoes?

[–]Chtuw[S] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I alreayd counterargumented to some of your replies in other posts in this thread. But you got me my attention with your last paragraph, especially, this phrase: " but you are quite a narrow-mind". Explain me why and how and if possible help me out on to "spend a day in another man's shoes".
