Why do we keep coming back to these subs?

tikitheman · 2020-06-26T07:43:30+00:00

Good question, i am not sure of the answer. Maybe just the chance to talk with like minded fuckers.

Blue-Raft · 2020-06-26T07:30:33+00:00

Somewhat agree, people look for advice on specific issues and we enjoy giving it

Entertainment

To remind ourselves that other sane men exist and we belong to a team of likeminded people. We havea craving for belonging and the isolation we feel surrounded by normies drives us to these corners to reassure us that we're not deluded or insane. We don't really come for the advice or the sidebar or the theory, we're here just to reconnect with the bros.

reduxDev · 2020-06-26T07:44:59+00:00

Never a bad idea to compare notes or help other people out i guess. I think i'm pretty solid on this this stuff too, but i'm very welcome to be shown i'm wrong so I can improve.

Transport127 · 2020-06-26T08:33:58+00:00

Because nobody is perfect. I’m pretty redpilled as of now, but there is always room for improvement. I’m still learning many things from this sub.

Also, being redpill is not easy—it’s like fighting against nature. It takes a lot of attention and maintenance to keep our frames otherwise we might slip into bluepill world. Plus this sub is a lifestyle for most of us.

ngyuhnang · 2020-06-26T09:50:04+00:00

Why do we need to ask other students and teachers questions when we already have textbooks?

Rolfenstien · 2020-06-26T08:32:31+00:00

Yeah I agree, some people don’t sit there for very long and try to figure out problems for themselves so they come here.

Still this is a good place for if you’re still unsure about a red pill answer after trying to figure it out yourself

I come on here a lot to help those who are new, yeah I guess I get dopamine for that, is that a bad thing?

Human_Extreme · 2020-06-26T08:34:01+00:00

I was thinking on asking the same question. We know all there is to it, but still we keep reading TRP and answering the same "girl at work says she doesn't want sex with me, shit test?" questions instead of putting all this knowledge to practice and going out in the field.

Maybe it's an ego boost? Maybe we do have a feeling that we can learn more? Maybe we are just addicted to this echo chamber and keep scrolling to justify our thoughts? It's an interesting question with no simple solution.

oooKenshiooo · 2020-06-26T11:49:30+00:00

Answering other people questions in your own words is a great way to apply, double check and deepen your knowledge.

Rich_has_the_tricks · 2020-06-26T17:05:30+00:00

I read here every day for entertainment lmao. If there's a guy who's about to fuck up badly I'll comment my two cents

athrowaway-9001 · 2020-06-26T21:49:26+00:00

To reaffirm our beliefs and help those that, like us, may be in a similar situation. TRP is the embrace of masculine ideals that a man needs, albeit society has radicalized it.

The most reliable person that we can effectively rely on is nobody but ourselves.

hawaiianboomerang · 2020-06-26T08:58:42+00:00

Simple. Because we're banned by every other subreddit for being redpill subs. haha nawww.

I subbed to offmychest while I was really drunk one night just reading sob stories and offering advice, trying to feel better for myself. I woke up next morning with a PM from mods at offmychest telling me I'm perma banned for following redpill lol. gfy what clows man.

2020-06-26T09:21:44+00:00

You don't trust yourself and your thinking. There's that little feeling "What if I just need one more article?". This is the problem because you are rejecting your original thinking and resorting to people online who have an even worse understanding of your life.

People definitely come for dopamine and egoboost because they think that that's what a real man does. A real man tells other people, "Do you even lift pussy?" "you faggot fuck go get a job" "Go fuck 1000 woman or you're not a man". They are mimicking the idea of a man and not acting out of their own nature.

So when you ask advice online, you are getting opinions from various sources, who are all anonymous. A top post can be from an actual 11-year-old, but you wouldn't know that. All that you trust is the upvote count next to the comment. It is your God, for it tells you what to think. So is the solution to keep searching for meaning in the cesspool of asktrp? Or to realize that you have to look elsewhere, maybe in yourself?

living inside your head thats why

TigerXtrm · 2020-06-26T10:11:53+00:00

It's good to be reminded of what you're doing and why every once in a while. And to see examples of what you definitely shouldn't be doing.

glowing_dolphins · 2020-06-26T10:28:44+00:00

It’s fascinating
When you have a problem, it’s hard to see the wood from the trees
Help the newbies
Give something back
Refine and evolve the ideas for yourself

thecarryone · 2020-06-26T12:19:25+00:00

Not at all, a lot of us are here to show how much we’ve learn. But sometimes you read that comment that you know it was worth it to comeback and then you keep coming back to learn some more.

mr_Tobbor · 2020-06-26T12:34:15+00:00

Yes dude. Do you enjoy the subreddit? Then stay. If you feel it is boring, then leave. But... I agree. All interesting things have already been said.

Important note. I am here for what Romans said: Repetitio est mater studiorum. repetition is the mother of study

i-am-the-prize · 2020-06-26T12:46:22+00:00

I find that 3 things keep bringing me back.

the same datapoint/nugget/passage/thought can be repeated or reingested at different times in a person's life (or year) and will resonate differently. Your current state of mind and other things going on in your life will alter what you (and how you) perceive things at a given time. So "the same thing over and over" actually can have value, when the take/context is different both in the teller's side and in my, receiving, side.
synthesis. part of how I internalize new content or data is through creating additional connections with other pre-existing data which is already in my databank. When I take in new data with other people's context and slightly different circumstances and make additional connections and can both draw parallels and contrasts, I find I better "own" and internalize this content.
the RP path is a process, not a single act. I find that when I am able to speak IRL with my (very) few RP friends, I visit the subs less. When I am swimming in a sea of Blueness, the boards are a reminder that I'm not the insane one, and the gut feelings I had that brought me here are not the BlackSwan BP and those invested in the Matrix would have me believe.

and: for the LOLs, some raw, funny, real ass shit goes down all around us, and its important that we have a place to share. The fellowship is a real component of the Path.

skyrunner22 · 2020-06-26T13:02:45+00:00

I think its a few reasons.

-when you first get exposed and get that initial eye opening information you can think wow. I didnt know this before, what else is it that I dont know. Doesnt matter how much you can process info, you will miss stuff. Sidebar doesnt get updated much, some of best post or blog or book mentions can happen in any random ol post. That chasing of new info that you arent exposed to is just around the corner.

-When first come here its like drinking out of a fire hose, soo much info, you have MRA type advice, Mgtow type advice, womens nature, PUA advice, self help, meditations advice, fitness, business, feminism, sales advice, etc. All that info will make your head spin. It takes a while before you arent drowning in info and you really dont get that type of truth anywhere else so you come to your neighborhood dealer for your next fix.

-The world reinforces bluepill thinking soo much that this can be one of only places to get a different perspective

Fabulous-Craft · 2020-06-26T13:51:33+00:00

The redpill mindset is somewhat of a perishable skill.

Gone too long and you can lose your way. It helps to listen to the stories and situations brought here that you might identify with.

And you take away different things from the same content based on the where you're at in your RP journey. I learned much when I first started browsing. Years later I can read that same content and come away with a different lesson based on where I am now.

Dripsonhold · 2020-06-26T15:19:24+00:00

It’s nice to get feedback from those who share your values

TravisScottNL · 2020-06-26T15:23:03+00:00

There is always something to learn. Even if you’re experienced

sefqef · 2020-06-26T16:08:17+00:00

I am very glad this is an active sub with daily posts asking for help. Yeah some questions are more popular than the other, but I truly believe this place can help people who keep an open mind.

As for me, I am not naturally RP. I turned because of the sub. But sometime after I meet and talk to a girl I can feel myself slipping back into my BP ways which are feelgood but ultimately a pipe dream. I read the sub daily to make sure I don't slip back. You know Alcoholics Anon? This place and the main sub are my BluePill Anonymous.

Greaterbird · 2020-06-26T16:41:07+00:00

Keeps me in the right headspace

ppvknifefight · 2020-06-26T17:44:40+00:00

Because it's entertainment for 95% of us. Most of the people here read the material and don't put in the action.

King_Crimson_001 · 2020-06-26T17:57:14+00:00

Well, to be honest there's no online communities anymore where subjects like TRP can be discussed. Misc is shit. /fit/ is shit. TRP is quarantined. I just want to hear what like-minded bros have to say about stuff. Where else is there, you know?

LIEX440 · 2020-06-26T18:47:27+00:00

I like reading about my brothers different experiences with women in their lives

BriefcaseHead2 · 2020-06-26T19:37:17+00:00

Because there's not many people IRL I can show/speak about this side of my life to. I'm glad I have this sub + the main one because it just feels like a little community and I actually have fun browsing/commenting.

MrTrizzles · 2020-06-26T20:14:57+00:00

Because it’s easier to read about being a man than it is to actually be a man.

gyropitaolives · 2020-06-26T23:31:25+00:00

Inspiration to continue in my mission by reading other people's journeys.
The occasional nuggets of gold, especially by experienced people.
Entertainment. It's pretty entertaining when a guy is about to fuck up and they are straightened out with some tough love.
