Psychologist Hack thinks he can predict divorce with 94% accuracy

Disagree. This guy is talking about long-term relationships. They do take work on both sides, and that's that.

This guy has basically gone over some core LTR concepts.

Criticism - Captain/First Mate dynamic. You work as a team and should act like it. Criticism is fine, as long as a) it's not for the sake of it and b) you also provide alternatives. Otherwise it's not helpful at all.

Contempt - women aren't inferior, they're different. LTR game is about acknowledging this and using your relative strengths to their best effect. If she respects you and you respect her, you'll do all right.

Defensiveness - Holding frame. You're not getting emotional, you're calmly explaining why you think they're behaviour is unacceptable. This ties into the "stonewalling" part. By getting defensive, you're failing a shit test, and we all know what that does to attraction.

Stonewalling - Only a problem if you don't ever speak about the problems. When you shut her emotions down by not responding, you're doing it so she will calm down enough to talk rationally (and you won't be drawn into an emotional state). The key here is that you still have to have the talk.

In fact, he's somewhat important because he's one of the people producing the data upon which TRP is based. Without men like him, we wouldn't have the data to back up our assertions.

Also, it he can predict divorce with 94% certainty, wouldn't that make him an asset to TRP, since he can show that most betas aren't going to succeed in their relationships?

I hope science will allow a Red Pill psychologist to keep a good practice and finally, in a clinical setting give the poor battered bastards of the world the help they need and that we have been fortunate to enjoy on this sub for free.

I don't. It will never happen anyway, but you can't force-feed the pill. You appear to have fantasies of trying - it's not possible. It would be nice if you could, but that's not realistic, and so we acknowledge that and move on.

By the time that your scenario can occur, it would be irrelevant because society would have changed to that being the mainstream view anyway, making the specific teaching unnecessary.

Also, there is no such thing as a "Red Pill psychologist". Science is amoral - it finds what it finds. The Red Pill adapts to new data, but setting out with the intention of "proving" red pill philosophies is not how good science is done. If the data showed that being a beta was the right way to get women hot, we'd be advocating that. Instead, it shows that women like confident, masculine, fit, men, so that's what we advocate.

The fact that that appears in a critical thinking and logic class, and not as a cautionary tale, show how far gone our universities are.

So doc, you're telling me that if I'm absolutely perfect and supportive to my SO's needs, dreams, ambitions and feelings, forgetting for the moment that she is liable to be an unrelenting pain in my ass with no self awareness at all-- that my relationship will be ready for the big time and we'll be one big happy family?

Doesn't matter if you're perfect or not.If she starts and continues the negative cycle then the LTR is doomed. What Gottman doesn't say (because it's not very PC) and what you have failed to infer is that these negative cycles are typically started by the woman. Remember that 70+% of divorces are initiated by women?

You're not filtering Gottman's work through the lens of TRP.

EDIT: Gottman rocks, OP doesn't understand how RP Gottman's work is.

Is it any worse than when being a beta learning Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus?

Women catch resentment flu and I have to cure it by being 1000x more of a beta pussy-worshiping bitch?
