Not sure why you're attacking /r/nofap. No-Fapping is an important and useful subreddit for many people. I know it's helped me.

[–]jngshin2 points3 points4 points 13 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Society definitely encourages a certain mode of "blue pill" behavior that is broken out of in pretty much only 3 ways that I can think of.

  1. Be born rich and/or aesthetic and/or with tonsof talent to gain some degree of notoriety
  2. Be taught it from strong male figure
  3. Studying this kind of stuff

Let's face it.

The future generation is OUR responsibility. We cannot rely on the womenfolk or upon society in general.

It's on US.

You didn't start the fire, why do you want to be a fireman?

Let it burn...

Doing what is right takes precedence over pussy for me.

I try to come from a place of abundance.

[–]Thatguy5354[S] -1 points0 points1 point 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

And if you don't have ay of those then you're forced to shady things to satisfy our sexual needs in which society shames us for doing them too.

It's a no win situation for us and I'm sick of it.

[–]1favours_of_the_moon4 points5 points6 points 13 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

It's passive aggression, plain and simple.

Don't shame a slut! Only shame the men who notice.

[–]Thatguy5354[S] 1 point2 points3 points 13 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Of course. And that's bullshit.

[–]1favours_of_the_moon-1 points0 points1 point 13 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Well, there's two types of men who notice.

Men who they WANT to notice, and men who they DON'T want to notice. Right?

Why wear that outfit if it's not gonna get a reaction. But as women, they always deserve to have their cakes and eat them too.

As redpillers, we do have an advantage. We are the guys they WANT to notice them.

You see a common story where first-world women travel to third world areas and get sexually assaulted.

Same premise: You cut off men from sex, they get sexually frustrated, when the time and opportunity arises and they see a sexual liberated woman, they strike.

Now picture this here when our financial debts finally catch up to us. Pure chaos. There will be so many sexual assaults and this society will only have itself to blame for them.

I don't know why you brought that up. I wasn't arguing for race at all.

Think of this attack on men as a giant shit-test to weed out the whiners and betas. The old joke of "be attractive, don't be unattractive" rings very true in this regard. Attractive and confident men can get away with A LOT more when it comes to women. I'm not talking rape, but 90% of what bitter feminists label as sexual assault, they would WELCOME if it was a hot confident, well dressed guy with a trust fund doing it.

So, to continue the analogy, how does one dodge such a shit-test?

  1. Improve your self (or as /r/seduction calls it, Inner Game). Lift weights, work on your job, etc so that your natural confidence and attractiveness improves. Suddenly you aren't such a "creeper" anymore by looking at a woman. Feminists will leave you alone a lot more than the "creeper" guy that they deem unattractive and would rather stay invisible (with the enforcement of white knights and cops/judges).
  2. Amused mastery. You know how life works for men. Maybe not a lot of men realize the minefield they are stumbling about in, but you do. So when you see a woman in the office, just ignore her. If she wants to talk to you, make sure you aren't alone and have the door open. IF she wonders why, laugh at her face and tell her why. Make her qualify you that "she's not like that." After that, still proceed with the door open and passive witnesses about. If your LTR-woman wants to pressure marriage, laugh at her face and tell her why you think that's a bad idea. Watch the hamster spin either to qualify herself or shame you.
  3. Agree and amplify. Time and time again, any perk women have suddenly becomes evil the minute men start benefitting from it. Be it alimony due to women's increased earning power, gender-neutral AA policies the minute women overtake men and men can use it, etc. You can watch feminism unravel itself before your very eyes if men manage to use the exact same tools against them. The last thing feminists want is equality.
  4. Ignore it. MGTOW movement is really something I personally don't want (I am willing to wait five more years before marriage to see if it gets better before giving up). However, the effect of men just saying "fuck it" and opting out as much as they can is legendary. The "strong and independent woman" isn't so strong and independent without a continuous stream of taxpayer dollars and men-with-guns propping them up. When that starts eroding, guess what happens? Look at Japan. Women are going into debt to pay for male-emotional-prostitutes to feed their validation-junkie habits.
  5. Abundent Mentality - Exit the Set and Try Somewhere Else. Take an overseas assignment to a country without income tax (like Middle East) and make far more money (tax-free) than you would in the states propping up women-only perks. There's news reports of many western men in North American and Europe just saying "fuck it" and marrying foreign women who don't treat them like garbage. Watch the feminist hamster wheel spin to try to ban any and all other options in the free market of vagina.

Since you mention Nofap, I'm not going to advocate or condemn it, but masturbation is beta.
