1) Too much Men's Rights stuff, we have a great subreddit for that. We have a lot of non TRP content but that is the most common offender

2) Too much blind woman bashing, it isn't helpful. Discuss specific point to counter their nonsense, "this is why women are dumb cunts" type posts are counterproductive and contribute nothing.

3) This is related to #2 but Return of Kings/Matt Forney are click bait. It's Jezebel for men, we can do better

4) Speaking of click bait, a policy of snapshotting or using a site like http://www.donotlink.com would be much better than giving revenue to Gawker sites, XOJane, etc. I thought about making a thread about it but the mods have their hands full as it is

[–]cagethepepper 10 points11 points12 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The woman bashing gets really tired, real quick, and it's plenty depressing after a while.

[–]vorverk 7 points8 points9 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

This. Don't turn TRP in to a hating and manipulation of women. TRP is about learning the nature of women and improving your life. Women do what they do because it's in their nature. Men are far from being perfect. Rapes do happen and dominance can quickly turn in to abuse if the power comes in the wrong hands. With great power comes great responsibility. Learn, improve, but don't hate and manipulate.

[–]2RedPill4LYF 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm with you on all these points so far, but let's be clear that criticizing shitty female behavior is not misogyny. If there are individual women in your life that you hate for legitimate reasons, that's one thing, but it is absurd to declare that you hate all women.

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

Thanks, I especially agree about #4 and made a new post to petition the use of donotlink.

With 50K members, I think it's worthwhile to not give extra revenue to the sites you mentioned.

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

We need to have a dedicated category for SELF IMPROVEMENT. and get rid of Rants and Offtopic.

[–]chillmonkey88 17 points18 points19 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Blind women bashing. RP should be to me about more than "hypergamy, so I lift"

I find the rants childish however I understand where they coming from but wish they weren't posted here

Wish there was more constructive content. Guides/how to (something I want to start creating)

More field reports on minor things Ex: went to bar, held frame, f.ucked. I want to know approach to close details. Not just shit tests and frame

Edit: last one I saw on here I agree with is the "women are evil and have no purpose" some just want the best out of life aren't always trying to use men to get ahead

[–]Senior Contributor: "The Court Jester"GayLubeOil 21 points22 points23 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

TRP doesn't have a coherent philosophy. We have a Ton of different endorsed contributors and mods with different opinions. There is also a huge age spread in the user base 16-40's. The mating game is played differently at different stages of development. I dont see TRP as a philosophy I see it as an amalgamation of the personal experiences of thousands of men.

[–]217v 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I really don't see how it can get more coherent -- It's the most coherent thing I've come across describing life and relationships. Mind you, i'm not saying i agree with everything written, but it's not called the red pill for nothing

[–][deleted] 42 points43 points44 points 12 years ago (28 children) | Copy Link

I do not think that decent women are as rare as this sub likes to think they are. I think most people, both male and female, are inherently trying to live the best possible life. As such, most people do not actively harm another without due cause. Some women will actively want to change society in order to advance themselves, and the same in true for men. However, most people exist somewhere in the middle.

[–]drallcom321 points 12 years ago* [recovered] (16 children) | Copy Link

Decent HOT women are rare. It's next to impossible to not be corrupted as a beautiful woman. Like a politician who gets presents from anyone he meets.

There are plenty of average looking women who have an acceptable character. Why do you think some alpha men take an average woman? Life gets so much more comfortable. There are still shit tests and everything from the book, but all much less aggressive. You often find them in traditional (or simply intact) households.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 12 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link

Maybe it is because my goal in life has never been to have a 'HOT' girlfriend. I would much rather have a decent average woman than a pedestal hot woman. Average women have to invest in something to get SMV which means they usually are more interesting than hot women.

[–]drallcom311 points 12 years ago* [recovered] (13 children) | Copy Link

And you don't find them where you find hit women. You most likely won't even attract them with the behavior you use for hit women. Being an invincible high-energy alpha motherfucker can be intimidating for an average women. Being a relaxed man who is just happy with himself is what I miss here in TRP.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points10 points 12 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link

I kind of avoid all of the alpha talk and think of it as bluster. I am perfectly fine being quiet and being polite. Most people say that I have quiet nobility and quiet leadership. I am perfectly happy letting the winds take me, just being happy but speaking up when I think we are going in the wrong direction.

I think that many people when they feel silenced initially react by being as load as possible when they find their voice. I acted like that when I first found my voice, but I have learned to be quiet again because I like the tranquility.

[–]draketton 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

alpha demeanor is much more important than alpha words when it comes to generating attraction, anyway

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link

My husband is like you, he is quiet and yet in charge. I find that I respect him because he doesn't talk down to me or yell. He literally gets whatever he wants from me just because he is nice to me.

[–]Gstreetshit 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

he is nice to me

nope

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

What you mean nope...he is nice to me...in general he is a hardass just not to me.

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

I'm not agreeing with the fact that he gets whatever he wants from you because he is nice to you.

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

Well it's true....all he has to do is ask as I cannot read minds..I do whatever he asks. Sometimes I offer stuff, like to go get more beer when he's running low and the night is still young. And it is because he is a very nice " boss".

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points15 points 12 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

Many women, indeed, most women, will appear decent when you're of high enough value that they feel they have an advantage in aligning with you.

They will demonstrate humility in exchange for an increased chance to be your long-term partner and thus gain access to your resources.

Her humility may appear decent when in actuality it's pursuant to what she believes is her own self-interest.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points14 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

This is where I disagree with you. I think that most women generally want to have a happy life. Most of the time this means following what society tells them is the good life. Women are not some mythical creature that live off of a parasitic relationship with men. I do not think that women plot and ploy all day long looking for high value men. I think that all humans are inherently drawn to specific sets of traits which can result in sexual attraction or be seen as leadership potential. I think spending a significant amount of time thinking that all women are inherently out to get you is not a good way to live life. Living a life that matters takes risks and I am willing to accept that risk when it comes to women. Now, I am gay which means I will never have a female life partner but I would go so far as to say that straight men should believe that most women are decent and potentially datable.

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

I know someone that would disagree with that statement

[–]ltCameFromBehind 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

You're so naive if you think the men around you are any better when it comes to moral flexibility. Self interest is the name of the game and the only people who are honest are the people who have a large stake in being perceived as such. You can do a statistical analysis on how much of a stake someone has in their social image and honesty and it correlates closely in performances on trust studies. As terrible as evopsych tends to be at explaining human behavior, it hits the nail on the head with this one.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't ever recall saying men weren't self-interested. In fact the central theme of this forum is men figuring out how to get their needs met and nobody here is pretending otherwise.

The problem is the cultural myth that while men are self-interested and are primarily motivated by getting sexual gratification from beautiful women, women are divine and selfless and can do no wrong.

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

This is an interesting point. High SMV disparity means you don't need red pill? Possibly.

[–]draketton 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I think they are as rare as this sub likes to think they are. But I think that's the result of a sick society. I don't buy most of the evopsych explanations.

[–]eccentricrealist 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Yeah, there are some women who can feel strong emotions but can restrain themselves. I tend to see this in more traditional households.

[–]1Zackcid 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You have to say what part of TRP you disagree with.

[–]1bradyo2 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

My one and only criticism of the views of TRP users is that I find there to be an exaggeration on the number (and description) of real-life feminists.

Sure, there's a fuckload of them on the internet, but I think I've probably only met less than 10 in my whole life in reality, and only half of them you'd describe as "activists who are fat and ugly". A lot of them are internet warriors.

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

You live in the wrong (right?) city then. Come to Toronto. Feminists as far as the eye can see.

[–]1bradyo2 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, I think it is a country thing. I'm from the UK, and you don't see too many archetypal feminists. Don't get me wrong though, they're there.

[–]updock 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Natural genetic attractiveness and social status/celebrity are infinitely more important in pulling women than frame control and confidence. Just because the tenets of TRP help you to maximize your smv, it doesn't mean your smv ceiling is all that high.

[–]TRP VanguardCyralea 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

That's fairly in line with TRP's teachings. Perhaps you're thinking of /r/seduction?

[–]updock -1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I haven't browsed seduction for more than about 20 minutes in my life. I think I'm thinking of TRP.

So many posts here blatantly exaggerate the importance of frame control and body language. Rather than say what the best way to maintain frame or the optimal body language one can have, posters tend to asssign a relative weight to every piece of advice they give.

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

So many posts here blatantly exaggerate the importance of frame control and body language

It's easier to learn frame control and body language than it is to change your genetics and become a movie star. We focus on what's possible. I don't think anyone denies that being famous is a free ticket to pussy. There was a post yesterday about how Tom Cruise is a model alpha, despite being 5'5". TRP recognizes the power of status and fame. It's not a realistic goal for a dude looking to improve himself though.

[–]marlybarrow 9 points10 points11 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

We discuss the ways in which women are deficient in comparison to men and the way men are superior when compared to women e.g. loyalty.

But no one ever talks about the inverse /reciprocal (not sure which); men deficient compared to women and women superior compared to men

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

Or when the discussion is about women's ability to perform better, especially in social circumstances, it is almost exclusively in a negative light. This may be the nature of TRP though, more than conscious effort, since TRP tends to emphasize conflict or competition in social settings and the male is the assumed speaker.

[–]socio_j 12 points13 points14 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I do not agree with extreme individualism and the lack of empathy as qualities of masculinity. I think this mentality is product the economic system (neo liberalism). I view the alpha male as a leader, but a positive leader, a leader that protects the women and the weak, helps those that need help (especially men) and is in general a person that produces value, thus he becomes a wise man to the people that surround him. Some threads regarding sociopaths and the general admiration to such qualities is disturbing.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I think that removing the male archtype from society has created bitchy women who need an exaggerated agressive male to feel demure in comparison.

[–]1FloranHunter 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't particularly care that most here regard sociopathy has beneficial for alphas but I agree with you on the ideal alpha, for myself. I also agree that fuck (most of) neoliberalism.

[–]Wolfwoodd 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

My biggest kinks involve group sex and girlfriend sharing. My ideal woman is very different from the TRP ideal. That being the case, I still have a strong frame and great relationships.

While you're correct in that the confirmation bias will influence our recollection of events, you're wrong that looking at data (our experiences) and then seekign to explain them in terms of theory is unscientific. This is the very process known as abductive reasoning.

abductive reasoning is basically looking at the data we have available (e.g. a particular person's behaviour), and then deciding what the best explanation for this data is. Often times with our experiences, TRP theory is the best explanation.

Now, you're also correct in that we should be able to predict, and TRP theory allows this. For instance, we can predict how a girl will react to the advances of a high value male vs a low value male. Most of us don't have the ability to set up experiments using this theory, so stories after the fact are what we go on, and this is fine

[–]smokingtransistor 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Agree with you as well, i think nedsheperd tried to warn us of the bias. My feeling lately is that we eschewed a little from the getting better path and we focused more on shaming which shouldn't be the main concern

[–]smokingtransistor 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Would agree with you. What for most including myself is hard to realise is that women are different. Women are not men. And that's what they do best. What we are here for is to understand this even the first phase is anger and bitterness. We don't want women to stop being unreasonable and stop being emotional. That would make them almost men and i don't fuck men. I want a woman that i can support and lead, there was a post some months ago with the captain and first officer analogy. If you know how to channel all her energy and emotions they can be awesome. If you don't they'll level you to the ground and they'll perceive that as the right thing to do.

So, gentlemen let's stop whining how bad they are, cuz they are that bad because of us and because of men unable, unwilling or being too lazy to stand up, fight for their lives, ideas... We stopped leading and we stopped from producing leaders. Our politicians became whimsy and weak. Our society became self indulging and comfortable. We need to grow balls and challenge ourselves as many times as we can, we have to get out of our bubble and extend our limits. Only when this will happen women will start honouring men as they did in the past. So let me ask you when was the last time you liked a hot girls photo on fb ?

[–]1spicy_fries 6 points7 points8 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

TRP is observed phenomena. To say you disagree with it is to say that you disagree that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

That being said, probably the only thing that I am not down with is the extreme amorality that might be practiced or encouraged by a subset of individuals.

Sleeping with married women because "alpha fucks"... I mean, if the woman hasn't cheated before and there are kids involved... don't be the guy she cheats with.

[–]whale_texture -2 points-1 points0 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If a wife would cheat with you, she'd just as easily cheat with another guy. If things in her family life don't start spiraling downward because you helped her cheat, they will eventually when someone else does. In my view, I am not responsible for her relationship or her decisions, and to help her cheat is to do nothing wrong on my part.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Many of the logical leaps and conclusions made on this sub in its context are too general and broad. Even if someone has a shred of the right idea, another poster takes their post as dogma and uses soft evidence to make hard and fast rules.

It's not just TRP though, to be fair.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I fear teaching men that all women are the same will make them mistreat "a good girl." I tried TRP on my girl and it had the opposite effect. She likes me best when I am nice, help around the house, cook, help her with her problems. I feel like TRP only works on shitty women. I use the theory for interacting with coworkers and family.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 12 years ago* (29 children) | Copy Link

The stance on women in general annoys me. Humans are a complex beast and it is just silly assuming a whole gender acts a certain way. Yeah sure there are plenty of stories of women acting like that but the planet has 8 billion or so people on it so of course you can find enough examples to justify any view. Look at everyone as an individual and judge them based on that, you will be surprised at the results.

I have never been shocked at someones actions once I have gotten to know them. For examples partners who cheat, every single time that has happened I wasn't surprised as I could already tell they were capable of that. People need to choose their partners better rather than crying when something that most people could see happening occurs.

The mentality that TRP has unlocked some supreme understanding of women is just laughable. You could ask the most "beta" of "betas" what women are looking for in a partner and they will most likely answer confident, fit and successful.

The only thing that TRP does is actually do something about it. (Or at least the theme here is) the hatred towards women is just unjustified.

[–]1Zackcid 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (21 children) | Copy Link

You forget that humans are animals. Why is it so easy for people to accept "animal behaviour" when studying other animals, but suddenly no such thing exists for humans? We have "human behavior" as well. There are underlying instincts that we follow.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (19 children) | Copy Link

The fact we have research teams trying to understand animal behaviour just proves how different we are and how little we know. Animals adapt to the environment while humans adapt the environment to suit us. We might as well be aliens from a different planet by how fundamentally different our behaviour is from most animals.

[–]theozoph 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (18 children) | Copy Link

Once again, BPers prove how close Progressivism is to Puritanism. All down to "Humans Are Special Creatures of God".

Nope. Plenty of animals modify their environment to suit themselves (beavers, ants) or have a cascading impact on it (reintroducing wolves has an impact on forest growth through decimation of the deer population).

Humans are nothing special, except in their symbolic production. And even that is most often a convoluted expression of base desires shared with the rest of the animal kingdom : music and dance as nuptial parade behaviors, shopping as foraging, sports as male displays of dominance, etc.

Science and storytelling are the only two really human behaviors.

That's just not the case, humans can live where they would not survive otherwise, why don't you go throw that beaver in the Arctic and see how long it survives.

Some ants harvest snail slime to insulate themselves from cooler climates. Where you see us as a "fundamentally different" species, I see a question of degree.

They're called epistemology, semiotics and common fucking sense. Which you're obviously bereft of.

You are the one who said it.

You are completely over simplifying people which is why you are wrong. There isn't a set definition on how a person acts. Eating, breathing and sleeping are the traits we all share but even with how simplistic that sounds there is an extraordinary degree of how that is accomplished person to person. We live in a complex ecosystem that our greatest minds are still wrapping their heads around and you are so ignorant to believe you have got women worked out.

Funny because you're doing the exact same thing to me, and yet see no contradiction in it.

So that's your problem. You don't understand TRP, you're still stuck with a caricature of it, and you try to apply that false image to every one of us to protect your precious illusions.

I don't even think he's a genuine subscriber. Sounds to me like a BPer who found a convenient opportunity to bash and express his disagreements with everything TRP. NAWALT tends to be one of the first lines they spew.

8 billion or so people on it so of course you can find enough examples to justify any view

Would you say that humans have 2 legs is accurate, or is it silly to say that because I've generalized 8 billion people?

There are mental qualities that are common enough that we can observe them and generalize. That you don't understand them doesn't mean they're not there.

That is just stupid beyond belief. No wonder people get the impression this sub reddit is filled with knuckle dragger's.

Herp Derp people have two legs my argument is right.

Well using that logic every person on the planet breaths a different composition of oxygen so that's means everyone is different and I am right. :/

Herp derp lets ignore the fact that there are 8 billion individuals on the planet and not one of them is the same or will ever be the same again.

Nice, ad hominem and reductio ad absurdum. I think you can squeeze in a few more fallacies next time.

Do you have an actual counter argument? I pointed out why generalizing isn't bad or inaccurate.

When you are talking about the nature of people it is dumb beyond belief. I am living proof on how stupid classifying people is. I have had multiple trained professionals with multitudes more years of experience than you try and diagnose exactly what "condition" I suffer from and they can't even remotely predict what I am thinking. There is nothing wrong with me despite all their training dictating that something should be seriously messed up with me considering my upbringing.

Now given how this sub reddit idolises the earlier generation how on earth was it possible for the entire western hemispheres population to practically hide their true nature for generations?

You won't agree with it until you see examples in your life.

Even adjusting for confirmation bias it still feels like They Live.

It doesn't matter if I agree or not it is the way it is.

The general principles repeatedly show up in my life.

1.That blue pill men are bitter and pussies

This is the general belief and its simply untrue. I was never bitter in my blue pill days, the funny thing is most girls flat out told me I needed to be more of a asshole. Which goes to show girls aren't just out to make guys beta orbiters.

  1. Misogyny

Even on TRP, you will get accused on misogyny and they will say its normal to hate women after being blue pill so long. The word is thrown around to much on here, as if we have to prove something. Fact is unless you want to cut up women in small pieces or want to harm someone for just being a girl you don't hate women.

Then, when you change into more of an asshole, they'll shit test you by telling you that you were so cute and adorable and now you're a butthead and an arrogant prick now. First was said because she felt so insecure around the person that it was in her interests to make you more of an asshole. They demanded an upgrade to the white knight not more.

  1. Too much focus on the fall of the nuclear family. The nuclear family has always been a disaster. The extended family and close associates living as a family unit is much more stable. The nuclear family is just some shit we threw together in an economic upturn since a) we had the wealth for it and b) it's a reststop in the rise of extremely individualism.
  2. People here don't attack their assumptions enough. No, being better at this than 90% of humanity is not enough: we can do far better. Always be on the lookout for an inadequately contested narrative that you follow. Most redditors did this with religion but that's low-hanging fruit: just refuse to believe without ultimately empirical evidence. It's much harder to refuse to believe something with evidence that doesn't justify its prior probability of being true.
  3. I understand why many men here are bitter toward women (grieving process) but it still annoys me. Like an advertisement, there's a tiny cost to ignoring it.
  4. This is really #1 but general: too much bad evopsych. It's good to foster innovation by throwing around theories but we do eventually need to ground them with some tested hypotheses. In the meantime, study up on how humans actually lived throughout history and prehistory. A decade ago, everyone thought hunter-gatherers lived 30, 35 years. Seriously: like 15 was middle age. Now everyone knows that infant mortality almost halved the expected lifespan of non-infants. People today talking like the nuclear family is a human standard sound like people a decade ago talking like most pre-agriculture life was nasty, brutish and short.

I enjoy female friends because they show a different perspective on life. If I befriend them I make sure they're not my type because trying to friend them is very different from trying to use TRP to get laid.

I don't believe in AWALT although the majority are. So instead of rare unicorns being 95-5 or 100-0 to many in TRP I think of it as more 70-30. Of course the hotter the girl is the bigger chance her behavior will confirm TRP. TRP looks at hot women actions because they want hot women.

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

TRP looks at hot women actions because they want hot women.

This is an important line. When it comes to game, we're generally just interested in the physically attractive girls. Hot girls tend to grow under the same circumstances, so they usually end up very similar to each other.

I agree that most principles defined by TRP is an underlying base for social communication. I also like to approach them in a scientific way finding out what really works and what doesn't. Discussing about this in society is outside the boundaries of political correctness. This is why I like lurking TRP. However I do not fully agree with the definition of ultimate masculinity suggested by TRP. For me the qualities of a real man would be focus, self discipline and self control, effectiveness, ability to deal with bullshit, being professional and productive and at some point of life having the ability to recognize good wife material and ultimately being a good father figure (and working hard for that). The TRP definition of alpha maybe is more focused on social situations. The ultimate goal defined by TRP of spinning plates seems too much hedonistic and pointless or lacking self discipline.

I also see a general TRP fixation on woman behavior analysis sometimes turning to woman bashing. Ironically I believe it is caused by existing irrational male fear to talk to women overall. In my opinion women is more similar to men than TRP thinks. There must be more productive ways to approach the problem.

I see a lot of weird zealot talk that gets annoying but I mostly ignore it

[–]DiabloSythe -1 points-1 points-1 points 12 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Men have to be this unshakeable rock for women or they just toss you like a piece of garbage. I'm going to have some difficulties. I would hope I could find some woman that isnt a piece of ahit that can let me be a human.

[–]1Zackcid 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Once you accept that, on an instinctual level, it wouldn't be advantageous of the woman to be with you, you'll be able to identify that woman better. We've got the theory to explain why they behave that way, but it's gonna take a woman who consciously rewires her mind to not act that way, if it's even possible.

[–]1Zackcid -2 points-1 points0 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree with the entire "philosophy" of TRP, but I disagree with what seems to be the majority of guys who have hangups about a women who've fucked several guys. I actually encourage women to slut it up while they're young, might as well do it then because that window of time when every guy wants to fuck them is pretty small.

Heavily victims of confirmation basis.

[–]217v 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Just realize that the opposite views are also subject to heavy confirmation bias. Only there, the bias is encouraged.

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

That's fine, I'm not saying the theory behind the red pill is wrong, just that the subreddit is full of confirmation basis. We post the stuff that matches our worldview and ignore the stuff that doesn't, and I think that's wrong.

Partly because the red pill is about accepting the truth even when it's uncomfortable, and partly because I think it weakens the argument. I'd much rather see a subreddit full of examples that don't seem to line up with red pill theory and thoughtful discussion about why than one full of examples of women cheating on men. We know they cheat.
