Yeah I was with you until the marriage part. "Be a man and marry that bitch." I'm not a man because I didn't marry her? Even after identifying red flags?

"She might take all you own and screw your brother. But heck, are you going to let others dictate your life and tell you what to do and what not to do? That's the definition of beta." Troll detected.

[–]Camera_Lucida[S] -3 points-2 points-1 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

That's not what I said/meant . I meant that if you really want to marry someone then do it. Obviously if you don't want to marry a girl then don't do it.. Even if Redpill tells you to ( this wouldn't happen we're hypothetical here ) .Especially if you've identified red flags. What is important is to follow your own code of morals and action. I used marriage as an example even though I don't believe in it. You might be right though that my way of explaining that part wasn't the best choice of wording. No trolling intended.

Is it more wise to go by your own code or to try to follow reality only? That is, if you observe cause and effect in reality, you are able to determine what happens and what will happen again in the future.

The reason these RP principles even exist is because enough men got together and combined their observations on effect and tried to find the cause. This is how any concept is brought to mastery, whether it's drifting cars, shooting guns, fucking chicks or building a house, men have mastered the world around them by surrounding themselves with like minded people, comparing notes, and when patterns emerge, they test for replication. Once they find the cause, they can create any effect they want.

Point being, thinking for yourself exclusively is limiting, the greatest men think like the other greatest men in some basic regards.

You are 100% right in some aspects. Every skill is learned with help of people who already master that skill. Though, most of those "great men" will also tell you to not blindly follow anything. Read, think, analyse and try for yourself. Do not believe that all Redpill is filled with "great men". Do not start worshipping Redpill because you scored a chick thanks to one of its theories. Worshipping is one of worst things you could subject yourself to. Be your own master. Read the bible but don't believe it. That drifting handbook written by ken block? The guy is a beast but are you going to just follow the handbook to the letter and expect to become a master too?

[–]1oldredder0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

may not have been intended but it is bad advice:

the number 1 bad reason for marriage is FINANCE. It is in North America, in the UK, in Australia, maybe more, a contract legally binding you to loss to a woman's gain, even if the marriage ends.

Only an idiot would sign that as a man's place, and every woman has every reason to seek it.

If you want to be married so badly become a citizen of a country with different laws whereby you can never lose your income or property during/after marriage and never/rarely lose custody either of your children.

Oh, how I hate this kind of trolls.

Nobody here takes what he reads as gospel.
You think they do because you are a sheep. You assume everybody is like you. We ain't.

Bye bye.

My English isn't perfect and it looks like I can't edit that post, at least not from my phone. So please excuse some spelling errors and the paragraphs .

[–]1oldredder0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

next time don't use a phone to make a post. Use a computer. They're everywhere and cheap. The quality is far better with paragraphs, spell-checking and useful embedded links that help make a point.
