Please stop misusing TRP terminology

The key to communication is that your idea is effectively transferred to another person's consciousness. If someone says "Me and my LTR had a baby" is there really that much confusion about what that statement means? If I say I have a girlfriend, does that mean I'm in a platonic relationship with a minor?

Pedantic rants over the proper use of LTR, etc don't add much to the overall TRP discussion. Wait. . . Should I have said TRP or RP discussion? Does it really matter?

LTR could be your girlfriend, your wife, your long term relationship that isn't specifically otherwise defined and you only wish to convey that it's long term because that's what matters for the purpose of your post.

EDIT:

~~Define LTR first~~ First Define LTR for yourself

I've seen guys here who think a girl they have been seeing after school for 2 months is an LTR.

To me, anything shorter than 2 years is not an LTR. And it's not exactly an LTR if you aren't eating, sleeping and shitting in the same house most of the time.

But that's my definition, yours can be different.

tl,dr: TRP is not a science, so don't concern troll. We have bigger problems than a slight misuse of terms.

Tell me the difference between having an LTR and having a GF.

There tends to be an inverse relationship between post quality and trp lingo usage. Many people use it to fake authority on issues, not realizing it's misapplication - it's lazy shorthand, not the badge of the 'in-club'.

Getting annoyed by things out of your control isn't a good sign.

RedSovereign · 2016-01-13T14:31:40+00:00

This is concern trolling and strictly against the rules.

Well, some guys here think "we've been together for 3 months, so this is my LTR"... type of crap.

I guess it's subjective, as the use of "Long Term" could be 3 months for one guy, and 3 years for another... and then a third guy would think that if it isn't a decade it's not long term.

My only guess would be that guys that are not all that well versed, and are posting are using LTR as a short hand for "girl with LTR potential", or "my only romantic interest", etc., instead of the literal use of "Long Term Relationship".

Have a coke and a smile. Stop whining

The more annoying thing for me is that beta behavior does not constitute "blue pill". BB is definitely part of the female imperative and how she makes branch swinging choices. Blue pill is believing the feminist nonsense about what women want and how they behave.

Shitpost. Language is defined by its users. Also LTR is fine as a verb or to describe a girl who isn't just another plate.

Moldy_Gecko · 2016-01-13T04:54:35+00:00

I think you are the only one. This just sounds like you wanted to make a "Look at me" post.

MattyAnon · 2016-01-12T17:52:17+00:00

Am I the only one who is annoyed by this?

Yes, you are.

LTR is fine, as opposed to FWB or MLTR or OLTR. "Girlfriend" is too ambiguous.
